display Of joyous curiosity that must

of gaping bystanders In order to reach
the portals Of the house OF grief and
who must have reckoned with extreme
distaste the cost of subsequent de-
parture. A dozen raucous-voiced DO
licemen were employed to keep back
the hundreds that thronged the side
walk and blocked the street. Curiosity
was rampant. Ever since the moment
that the body Of Challis Wrandall was

SENATORIAL SQUAD
WENT FAST PACE
Played Against the Lebanon Valley
College This Afternoon; Good
Game Saturday

Harrisburg opened the preliminary
Kame at home to-day with the Leb-
anon Valley College nine. Indications
point to a fast game. On the college
team are the Lyter brothers and other
Harrisburgers and many fans were
anxious to see these teams lined up
against each other this afternoon.
For tomorrow afternoon Manager
George Cockill has arranged a game
with the Enginehouse No. 1 team of
the Pennsylvania Railroad. This team
of raiIroaders won last seasons cham
pionship in the Pennsylvania Railroad
League and has a strong lineup that
promises TO give the Tri-Staters hard
battle.
AS the shops of the Pennsy close
down Saturday afternoon, a large at,
tendance is expected at Island Park.
1t is probable that Manager Heckert
will try Wertz and Adams against the
Pennsylvania Railroad champions
The game will start at 8 o'clock. The
first practice yesterday at Island Park
was under many disadvantages Re-
cause of the cold weather. The squad
worked throughout the morning and
afternoon and was out early to-day.

Saloons Closed One Day
Benefit the Public

In his autobiography, published by the the Mac
MILAN Co, copyrighted, Theodore Roosevelt tells
US of his war with the New York saloonkeepers in
his effort to close the saloons on Sunday. Especially
interesting is Mr.. Roosevelt's comment on the bene-
fits resulting from a closed Sunday in New York
after he had succeeded in his fight. 1t will be noted,
too, that the same defense for the violation of the
sunday closing law in New York was offered as is
offered here in Chicago, namely that the Law is
obsolete
After telling OF the organized system of black
mail and graft, as carried on between the vice-lords
and corrupt police, Mr.. Roosevelt says:
This was the situation that confronted me when came TO
Mulberry street. The saloon was the chief source of mischief.
It was with the saloon that l had to deal, and there was only
one way to deal with it. That was to enforce the law. The
howl that rose was deafening. The professional politicians
raved. The yellow press surpassed themselves in clamor ana
