midable foe, but records show
that many athletes in many
different divisions. have given him
some long and fierce tussles before
the referee finally counted them out
while others, after nearly score OF
years in active service, are still wag-
Ing a merry little battle against their
unbeatable enemy.
There is no division in athletics
that uses up a man s vitality so much,
none that makes a young man age so
fast, none that is so strenuous as
pugilism 1t calls for everything
there is in a man every moment he is
in "A battle and practically every bat

was shown by cap" Adrian Anson

looks good for several more at the

Pirate shortstop, has been at 1t for
seventeen years and shows no real
signs of "slipping" Jimmy Callahan
of the White Sox, began his big
league career twenty years ago, and
still plays the game, but he dropped
out of big league baseball for few
years, and so can't be counted as
consistent performer in the exclusive
circle.
Tommy Leach, with the Cubs, be-
gins his eighteenth season this spring,
but Tommy is about through. Willie
Keeler lasted nineteen years in the big

Sullivan lasted seventeen; Harry Da-

INVESTIGATION IS couRTep

commons this afternoon Francis Dyke
Ackland, under secretary for foreign
affairs, stated that the British gov
ernment had no objection to inquiry
being made with regard to the alleged
use of dum-dum bullets and to report
ed atrocities. The government would
participate in such an inquiry, but as
to the suggestion that it should ask
the United States to set up a COM
mittee of inquiry he considered that
in favor of the reply reported to have
been given by President Wilson to
Germany, there was no use making
proposals to the United States on the

EXPENSES FOR TWO YEARS
PROVE A. HEAVY DRAIN
UPON TAXPAYERS

Santa Fe, Sept. 1S-Taxes collected
in New Mexico from the tax duplicates
for 1912 and 1913 the past two years
amount to the enormous total of $6,-
537,S20.22. However, that is not all
CT the taxes that came in, for many
thousands of dollars for previous
years that had become delinquent
were collected. In addition, the state,
the counties and municipalities have
other sources of income, so that it is
not far amlss to say that the govern
ment and its activities, 1ot including
the direct and indirect contributions
to the support of the federal govern
ment, have cost the taxpayers of the
state almost s1O,O00,O0O or about $50
for each man, woman and child the
past two wears. But as less than one
of every ten inhabitants is taxpay-
or. the lurden falls much heavier OF
the actual taxpayers.
The railroads, for instance, contri-
butte one-third of the tota taxv income.
Quite a number of counties could not
exist financially were it not for the
taxes paid by the railroads. In fact,
the taxes paid by interstate corpora
tions alone would pay the expenses OF
TIE state and If the proposed consti-
tutional amendment is adopted, there
will be a serious effort to levy only
state tax on corporations and to let
the other sources of revenue exclusive
| ly to the counties and municipalities.

LuMeERMEN LOSE BY WAR

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 1S,-Because
the export lumber trade from the
United States has been heavy and
because most of these shipments
would be contraband, as all building
of homes in the war zone has been
stopped, southern lumbermen foresee
a heavy loss in their industry on ac-
count of the European war. Already
the shipment of lumber from south
ern ports is entirely paralyzed. Great
losses already have been sustained
through the seizure of vessels which
were on the high seas when war was
declared, or through the cargoes di-
verted to points at which the timber
cannot readily be sold, because lum-
ber intended for export to one coun-
try is very seldom In such shape as
to be readily salable in another. In
actual figures the countries directly
or indirectly involved in war take
each year about 100000, 900 board feet
of American timber, of which about
650,000,00O feet is southern yellow
pine.
