Cyclone Ryan Suffering from Nervous
 Breakdown
We'll Remembered by Old Base Ball Fans

We'll Remembered by Old Base Ball Fans
 Old base ball fans, who sat upon the wall or under the trees at the old base ball grounds when tke C. C. C. team played Norwich and saw Cyclone Ryan in the box, will be sorry to hear that the old veteran is in bad shape. He was recently arrested in New Lon- don on a charge of intoxication but it was found at the police station that he was suffering from general break down. Some of the old timers who batted against Cyclone are well remem- bered by old patrons of the game and such names as "Scaleyu McGann, "Nelsen Guilbert, Henry Nitter, "PopH Weleh, the Morse boys, "Gil- lien Murphy, Johnny Davern, and others we could name, recalls old games that will never be forgotten.
 Years ago Ryan played on the Nor. wich Independents. He was pitch CT, stalwart of six feet, and nearly 200 pounds. Then he became reper- toire actor and then got into the mo- ton pictures. He worked too hard and studied too closely, so he told friends, and his nerves were badly up- set. According to his most intimate friends he has not been seen to drink, but he was bothered with insomnia so badly that 1t is believed drug, taken for the purpose of inducing sleep, brought him to his present condition.

HELD RESPONSIBLE
Verdict Of Probers in Wreck Of
Empress Of ireland.

Quebec, July 12.-The collier Stor-
stad is held to blame for the Empress
of Ireland disaster in the findings OF
the wreck commission.
The commission holds that the dis
aster was due to the Storstad's
change of course, ordered by the third
officer without instructions from the
first officer, who was in charge of the
collier at the time.
The Empress was sunk in the St.

more than 1000 lives. The findings
of the commission conclude as fol-
lows:
But the question of much greater
public interest and Importance re-
mains to be considered, viz:
"Why the ship sank so quickly and
what steps can be taken to prevent
the terrible consequences which so
often follows such disasters"

Senate Exempts Unions From
Prosecution as Trusts.

Washington, July 9.-All efforts in
the senate to alter or eliminate the
labor exemption clause of the sundry
civil bill section providing funds for
the enforcement of the antitrust law
were voted down.
Two roll calls put the senate on
record in favor of the exemption
clause which caused the veto of the
last sundry civil bill by President
Taft and which President Wilson, in
aImemorandum made when he signed
the same measure, characterized as
"unjustitiable in character and prin-
ciple."
The clause provides that no part of
the fund shall be spent in the prose-
cution "of any organization or in
dividual for entering into any combi-
nation or agreement having in view
the increasing of wages. shortening
of hours or bettering the conditions
of labor or for any act done in fur
therance thereof, not in itself unlaw-
full" Cooperative farmers organiza-
tions also are exempted.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota
proposed to strike out the exemption,
characterizing it as vicious class leg
islation"
The Sterling amendment was laid
on the table by vote of IL to 27, only
one Democrat, Senator Pomerene,
voting for it. Republicans who voted
to sustain the exemption were: Sen
ators Brady, Clapp, Cummins, Jones,
Kenyon and Norris. Senator Poin-
dexter also voted for the exemption.

cut down to $12,500. The case was
appealed to the supreme court and a
new trial ordered.
The verdict at the second trial was
$17,425. The trial court declined to
reduce it and Edwards appealed a Sec
ond time. ,,.~
