THEM.

Sixty-eight years ago today the first
match game of baseball on record was
played. The game was between the
Knickerbockersand New York Base
ball Clubs In the Elysian Fields at
Hoboken, y. ]. The players were
members of the leading New York
families, and engaged in the sport
|, as a pastime. A bevy of town bellies
in the group of spectators made the
occasion seem like social function
The field was marked of into the
baseball diamond so familiar today
None of the players wore gloves
masks or other protectors. II was
the custom for the batter to say where
he wanted the ball thrown. The
pitcher. or "giver," as he was ther
called, delivered II with an underhant
toss, according to the rules of the
game. II was thought that the pitcher
had an unfair advantage over the bat
ter when he threw the ball overland
hence the rule. The catcher stood a
a safe distance behind the batter
ready to catch the ball on the bound
The rules dictated that II he caught
the third strike on the first bound thu
batter was out; otherwise he mus
throw to first base to put him out
Likewise, the fielders, or scouts,
were permitted to catch hits on thu
first bound. Three outs retired thu
side. The team that first score'
twenty-one runs, or aces regardless
of the number of innings played, wa
accounted the winner. After the gam

electrical engineering has just COM
pleted the arrangements for this
course.
The course In telephony Is intended
for the young man who wishes to
make an intenesl theoretical and prac-
teal study of the equipment used In
telephony. The course begins with
study of the principles of electricity
and magnetism, including such prin-
ciples of alternating currents as are
directly applicable to telephony. The
various parts of the telephone, the
distributing frames and switchboards
will be studied, A detailed study of
the principles OF the design of a plant.
the methods OF testing, methods OF
testing circuits will be made and in

are met in telephony.

close to the cemetery when rain began
to fall The storm rapidly grew
worse, the downpour soon becoming
torrential. A tent erected over the
grave gave partial shelter to the
family group but the thousands of
people who came to witness the burial
were without protection.
Services at the grave, which is be-
side those of her father and mother,
were brief and marked by impressive
simplicity. The president stood with
head bowed as the final rites were
performed. AS he stood there with
his daughters, Mr.. Wilson made no at
tempt to conceal his grief. AS the
hushed voice of the preacher read
the burial service, the presidents
form was visbly shaken by his strong
emotion and the tears streamed un-
checked down his cheeks. Others of
the party wept silently.
After the casket was lowered and
the grave filled, vast heaps of flowers,
the tribute of the nation, were piled
high over the tomb.
On the way to the cemetery the
procession passed the house where
Mrs. Wilson lived as a girl and an
other spot above the banks of the
Etowah river where tradition has it
that she promised to become the fu-
ture presidents bride Nearby was a

her old home.
Within less than four hours from
the hour the funeral train arrived the
president and his party were once
more on board their special cars,
and the return journey was begun.

PLACING FUND
Of CROP MONEY
SECRETARY McADOO ANNOUNCES
REGULATIONS TO GOVERN THE
APPoRTIONMENT OF THIRTY
FOUR MILLIONS FOR CROPS.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Regulations
governing the apportionment of the
$34, 100000 crop money to be placed
with banks throughout the country
by the federal treasury have been
announced by Secretary McAdoo. In
apportioning funds among the banks
in each city consideration is to be
given to the character of business
done by the applicant bank and the
extent to which it is lending money
to its country correspondents Par
ticular consideration is to be given to
the willingness of these banks to loan
the country banks at reasonable inter
est rates, the secretary says, the gov
ernment's chief interest being to han
die the fund in such way as will en-
able the ultimate borrower to have ad-
vantage of low interest.
Collateral security accepted for the
deposits includes United States gov
ernment bonds of any issue, high
class state, municipal or other bonds
which have been approved by the sec
retary, and when so approved will be
accepted at threefourths of their face
value. In every case the paper must
bear the endorsement of the bank Of
fering it, The rules provide:
Commercial Paper" Defined.
"The term commercial paper is here
used in its general, not technical,
sense, and may consist of first-class
business paper, executed by individ-
uals, firms or corporations of good
standing and responsibility for legiti-
mate business purposes, and not for
speculative transactions. 1t should,
preferably bear the names of two
persons, firms or corporations in ad-
dition to the Endorsement of the bank
submitting it, though the secretary
may name single-name paper if in
dorsed by the bank, if standing of the
maker is regarded as sufficient. No
commercial or business paper will be
approved by the secretary until it has
been unanimously approved and rec.

for that purpose, to consist OF six
members, five of whom shall be Sc
lected by and be members of the

dred relatives and friends of the Will
son and Arson families were already
gathered in the quaint little church
which Mrs. Wilson used to attend
when her father, Rev. Edward S. AK
son, was pastor there.
The church was draped in black
with intertwined wreaths of white
flowers. On one wall was white
marble tablet to the memory of Mrs
Wilson's father. Banks of flowers
were piled high about the catafalque
upon which the casket was placed.
AS the president entered, following
the casket, Chopin's funeral march
was played softly upon the organ. a
simple, short service was conducted

Deposits Payable on Demand.

All deposits will be payable to the
treasury on demand, without previous
notice, but in order to afford the re-
lief intended, and to facilitate the
movement and marketing of crops it
is expected, save in special cases to
be determined by the secretary, 20
per cent of the total deposit will be
withdrawn by the government on Dec.
/, 1914, and 25 per cent on Jan. l.,
1915, Feb. l and Feb. Is. Banks
may return the deposits to the gov
ernment at an earlier date if they
so desire, and the secretary reserves
the right to call for additional securi-
ties, as he may deem necessary.
Depositary banks will be required
to pay the government per cent on
the average balance maintained dur
ing the period of deposit, and in ad-
dition, must pay such expense as is
incident thereto.
The secretary will only make de-
posits in national banks located in
such of the principal cities or towns
as he may designate. No statement
will be made as to the amount allot-
ted to states or to particular money
centers. 1t is known, however, that
Texas will receive an aggregate OF
81, 100000.

"a VULGAR TRAP" SAYS TURK.
Turkish Ambassador Issues State
mcHt AS to English Attitude.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Charging
that the intimation by Great Britain
to the United States that she would
welcome the presence Of American
warships in Turkish waters to protect
Christians was merely vulgar
trap to get the United States -'mixed
in the European fray on the allies
side, A. Rustem Bey, Turkish am
bassador here, issued tonight the
following statement:
According to tO-days papers,
Great Britain, following in the foot
steps of France, has agitated before
the eyes OF the United States the
spectre Of a massacre Of Christians in
Turkey and has made this gruesome
picture of the immediate future,
drawn with absolute disregard TO
truth, pretext for requesting the
United States to dispatch warships to
Turkish ports. That there have been
massacres in Turkey, | cannot, un-
fortunately, deny, but the Armenians
and Maronites, who were the vic
Tins, suffered at the hands of the
Moslems, not as Christians, but as
political agitators engaged in under
mining the Ottoman State, the while
Haunting in the face Of the govern
ment and dominant race the support
of Russia, France and England.
"Great Britain and France have
embarked upon new campaign of
provocation against Turkey, secretly
hoping that as a result Of it some
thing untoward may happen in that
country to confirm their sinister pre-
dictions, so that the United States
finally would be prevailed upon to
detach warships to the Levant and
thus get mixed in the European af-
fray on the allies side, but believe
the administration too sagacious to
fall into such a vulgar trap"
