The real surprise of the afternoon
was when Pandean nosed out Capt.

Chief Bender took another oc-

that Connie Mack was weak in
pitchers. He demonstrated it by
beating the Nationals by 8 to o.
But four hits were charged
against the Indian. and while it
is true that he was hit much hard
er than the score would tend to
show, many drives being right at
opposing fielders, he nevertheless
pitched sterling game of ball,
one which stood out in strong con-
trast to the performance OF Jim
Shaw. who opposed him. Shaw
had a very bad day. He was wild
and ineffective, and gave every
indication of knowing but little
of the pitching art. He was
forced to retire after the sixth, in
which round the Athletics added
four runs tQ their score. and Har-
per took his place. The latter
worked the final two innings and

ROOSEVELT IS VOTED
GREATEST LIVING man
Edison Second and Woodrow Wilson
Third, Californians
Decide.

San Francisco, April 10.-Theo.
dore Roosevelt received the largest
number of votes as the greatest liv-
ing man in the replies received by
the Rev. James Allen Geissinger
pastor of the University Methodist
church, when he invited the mem
bers of his congregation to express
their opinions on the subject. Edi-
son came a close second and Wood
row Wilson third-although some
feared that it was too soon to be
sure of the president.
The concensus of opinion was that
Roosevelt is great not only because
Of his personal accomplishments and
individual achievements, but be-
cause of his service in the cause of
universal peace, his relation to the
Christian movement, his stimulation
to democracy and his marked effic-
iency as an idealist.
DR.. Geissinger based his sermon
last evening on the replies received,
and, in part, said:
Jesus says that the Gentiles
think of greatness as consisting in
place, fame, wealth and servants to
wait upon them. True greatness
pours itself out without reck or
stint in the service of all as Moses
did, as John the Baptist did, as
Christ himself did and all progress
comes by and through their inspir-
ing and glorious achievements, d.
rectly or indirectly"

Fate.

Newark, N. j., April 11.-Capt
John Hanson. master of a stone
barge, was knocked into Newark
bay yesterday and drawn into a gov
eminent sand sucking dredge half a
mile away. His dismembered body
was carried through a 14-inch pipe
1000 feet long out into the Newark
Meadows.
The barge, May Emerson, was be-
ing towed from Newark to New
York by a tug. In passing through
the draw of a railroad bridge the
barge butted into a stone pier and
threw Captain Hanson overheard.
An hour after Captain Hanson
had fallen from the barge, the four
men at the further end of the pipe
on the Meadows were surprised to
see parts of a mans body shot out
of the pipe with the flood of sand
and water. The sections formed a
complete mans body. In pocket
papers were found identifying the
body as that of Captain Hanson.

MEMBER OF BULGARIAN ROY
Atty TO VISIT AMERICA.
Personal Representative of European
Ruler in New York Making Ar
rangements for Trip.

New York, April 10.-William
Caspar, personal representative OF
Queen Eleanora of Bulgaria, arrived
here last night to make final ar
rangements for the visit of the
queen to the United States. The
queen, he said, will sail late in May
and will visit all of the larger cities
as far west as Chicago. She will re-
main in this country about five
weeks.
Mr.. Caspar, who was born in the
United States, has been a resident
of Bulgaria for many years. He is a
contractor for the Bulgarian govern
ment and close friend of King Fer
dinand and Queen Eleanora.
THE queen is coming to the Unit
ed States as student" he said.
"She desires to study the methods
employed by the United States in
handling immigrants. She is also in
tensely interested in hospitals and
the training of nurses"
During the recent war in the Bal
kans it was American nurses who
did the most to relieve the sufferings
of the wounded and sick Bulgarian
soldiers. During the Russian-Japan-
csc war the queen, who was then
princess of Reuss, saw much service
as a nurse. Ever since she married
the king of Bulgaria she has spent
the most of her time lettering con-
ditions in the hospitals of the coun-
try. The queen now owns three hos
pitfalls in Bulgaria.

BACK TO THE EARLY DAYS

Fort Madison, April 11.-Investi
eating the discovery of number Of
skeletons near Niota, ILL.,, Prof. A. O
Thomas of the state geological sur.
vey, found the place of the find tt
ing ground. The bodies thus far IN
earthed number two dozen, and some
peculiar characteristics of them in
dictate they are of race which an
tedates those Indians which history
speaks of as occupying this part OF
the country. Professor Thomas took
back to the university a couple OF
suit cases filled with fossils, bones
and pottery, some of which he him
self helped to unearth.
The graveyard was opened by
workmen to secure gravel for rails
ing roadways. The construction of

foot of the bluff. The first body
found did not arouse much interest,
as the uncovering of an Indian
grave is not infrequent in these
parts. However, the daily increase
of the number found, the peculiar
positions in which they were placed,
and the finding OF pottery among
the skeletons caused some of the
residents to inform the state univer-
sity men.
The bodies were in regular rows
at various but not great depth. The
history of this country dates back to
the days of old Fort Madison, but it
contains no reference to any Indian
village in this vicinity. Parts of
earthenware found in the graves
was Of nonsubstantial and rude
form, unlike that made by the Sacs
and Foxes and later tribes of which
history speaks.
Old Indian customs Of burying a
squirrel or other game animal with
the hunter and of the interment of
the squaw and child with the male
are substantiated by the finds. Bones
other than human were found, also
the skeletons of a man, woman and
child in the same grave. In several
instances the bodies were contained
in sarcophaguses.
Numerous Indian mounds have |
been dug up about here, but always |
they contained either single bodies |
or bodies of warriors, with their
weapons of warfare. So far no toma-
hawks, arrowheads or other usual
accomplishments Of the burial have
been found in the opened cemetery.
The bodies are those of men, wom-
en- and children.

PEN|TENTIARY
Men Who Robbed Iowa Falls Post
office Given Limit of
Law.
MUST SERVE FIVE YEARS.
Plead Guilty in Federal Court at Ce.
dar Rapids-Stolen Loot Recov-
cred Except Portion of Cash.

Cedar Rapids, April 11.-Judge
Reed sentenced James Collins anC
J.. B. Malley to five years in the
state prison at Saltwater, MINI.
and each is to pay a fine of $500
for having broken into and robbed
the postoffice at Iowa Falls on the
night of March "a.
In sentencing these men Judge
Reed imposed the maximum penalty,
despite the fact that a plea of lem
iency was entered in behalf of NAL
ley. 1t was a Damon and Pythias
attitude that existed between these
two culprits. Collins admitted that
he was more guilty than Malley in
this robbery, as he had urged the
younger man to help him rob the
postof1ice. He admitted that Malley
received only small portion of the
loot and that he knew nothing about
the theft of a registered package
containing diamond ring.
When arraigned in court the men
pleaded guilty to the charge. There
were two counts in the indictment.
The first count charged them with
breaking and entering the postoffice
with the intention of robbing it. The
second count charged them with the
theft of mail from the government.
This latter charge was that reg
istered package which contained a
diamond ring, had been stolen.
There was point involved in
which Judge Reed declared that the
men could be found guilty of only
one charge, basing his opinion on a
decision rendered by the circuit
court of appeals, in which the trib-
unal declared that the breaking and
entering and the theft of mail con-
stituted only one charge. Accord
ingly, it was on the one charge that
the men were given the maximum
sentence.
Attorney Lenihan entered a plea
Of leniency for Malley, but Judge
Reed made no distinction between
The two men in passing sentence.

THREE DIE
IN COLLISION
TWO BOATS COME TOGETHER
OFF BARNEGAT, N. J.
Two Sailors Go Down With Ship
and Captain Succumbs to Heart
Disease.

Newport News, Va, April TO-
Bringing the body of the captain
and eleven survivors of the crew of
the Norwegian bark Orellan, which
it rammed and sank off Barnegat, N.
j., Wednesday night, the American
steamer Peter H. Crowell arrived
here last night from Boston. Two
men went down with the Orellan
and the captain was dead when tax
en- from the water.
Details of the wreck were hard to
obtain as the Crowell had not dock
ed and will not land the survivors
until today The only authentic ac-
count obtainable was procured from
Norwegian Consul M. M. Richardson,
to whom a report of the disaster
was made but who has not been sup
piled with the names of the surviv-
ors or the two men who went down
with the bark.
Captain Vail reported to Consul
Richardson that the collision occur
red during misty weather with the
sea calm and was due to poor lights
displayed by the Orellan. The Crow
ell struck the bark while steaming
at almost full speed. The wooden
ship filled rapidly and sank in sew
enteen fathoms of water.
Captain Vail said great confusion
prevailed aboard the bark following
the crash, Captain Johannsen losing
control of his men. The sailors, af-
ter Captain Johannsen and the mate
had succeeded in getting the latter's
wife into one Of the two boats, pill
ed into them so wildly that both
were swamped. In the meantime the
Crowell was standing by and Cap
tain Vail had ordered his life boats
lowered and Captain Johannsen, the
women and men were picked up.
The Orellan was fifty-seven days
out from Boulogne, France, for New
York, and the Crowell was bound
from Boston to this port.
