New York, Feb. 14.-With the Fed

SO that organized baseball knows what
it has to contend with and Johnny
Evers signed with the Boston Nation

and q big bonus, the ranks OF the
baseball men who have been here for
nearly a week began to thin out to-
day. Ban johnson. president of the
American League. Joe Tinker. Charles
Weeghman and w. H. Walker. of the
Federals have already left and others
planned to go during the day. Presi-
dent James A. Gilmore of the Federal
League was in consultation again to-
day with the hackers of the new club
in Brooklyn, Robert B. Walter and
John M. Ward. The latter is the one
time famous short stop and is no re-
lation of the other Wards. He will be

the new Brooklyn Federal club and
Robert B. Ward will be the clubs

The new Brooklyn club will play
at Washington park, the old home of
the Superbas. New stands will be
erected to seat $4,000 persons and
contractors have promised to have
them ready in six weeks.

Charles Murphy of the Chicago Ma

into the movie acting business. Hes
posing for the moving pictures and
one of his roles in a recent reel was
that of himself getting laid on the
mat by a French pug. via the k. o.
route. The picture had been written
to provide a thrill for those who would
like to see the big smoke get banged
on the beak for the count. While It
succeeds in this respect perhaps. 1t
offers an even greater delight to the
followers of the fight game by CIV
ing a nice, unbiased, impartial view Of
the former black champ in his pres
ent condition. And one glim at the
movie shows Jack to be SO plump he
can hardly waddle.
Jack was getting stout. But here in
the movie we have unQuestionable
proof that obesity in its most vicious
form has seized the former champ.

OLDEST STUDENT IS 8S.
Aged Negro Woman Begins Studying
Alphabet at Night School.

Lebanon, Kan, Feb. 14.-Lebanon
started a night school recently, and
this opened the door of hope and op-
portunity to a score of persons who
had passed the age of so, all of whom
were negroes. Among them was
Aunt Mary" a negre: aged S3, who
has given to Lebanon the distinction
of having the Oldest public school pu-
pill in the United States.
"Aunt Mary began at the alpha
bet as she had it all to learn, and the
Lebanon night school practices an
fashioned art of instruction.
She is described as physically spry
and mentally alert, and is the star pu-
pill Of her class. despite her advanced
age. She is also proving an inspira-
ton to the young ones of so, or there
abouts. who started school with her.
And she should be an inspiration to
young and old, white or cOlored, for
an example like hers shows that there
is still hope for the hopeless. that the
bars Of opportunity are never alto
gether closed to any one.

L. III. Bunnell and III. III. German
Given "Birthdays' in Magazine.
The biographies of two Topeka
Santa Fe officials are given in the cur

They read:
Edward Horace Bunnell, auditor Of
disbursements, was born in Trinidad,

entering the service Of the Santa Fe
as timekeeper in the mechanical and
transportation departments on Sept.
13, 1900. On May 8, 1902, he was ap-
pointed distribution clerk in the me-
chanical department.; on July 1, 1904,
he became chief clerk to the motive
power accountant: on May 16, 1907,
special clerk and chief clerk to the
auditor of disbursements, and on May
1, 1910, he was made acting auditor
of disbursements, being appointed au-
ditor Of disbursements on Nov. 1,
1910.
H. H. German. chief special agent.
was born near Elk Horn, Wis. on
May 80. 1866.
His service with the Santa Fe be-
gan with the legal department in
Chicago, by whom he was employed
in 1900 as a special claim investiga-
tor. His career in railway special
service WORK Was StdTlcQ 0PO-
cial Agent Hinsey of the c.. M. & St.
p. railway in 1891, of which fact Mr..
German is very proud. as Mr.. Hinsey
was considered the most able special
agent in the country.
Those who were with the Santa Fe
about the time of General Manager
Fry's retirement will recall that the
office of chief special agent was abol-
ished and such special ervice as was
done was handled under the supervi-
sion of j. d. NJ. Hamilton, claims at
torney. After two years of service as
an investigator for the legal depart
ment, Mr.. German was retained as
special agent on the Eastern Grand
division of the Santa Fe.
At that time there were, besides
Mr. Germain, only the chief watch
men at Kansas City and Chicago and
three special agents to do the work
on the line. Since that time the man
agement has seen fit to increase the
special service force until there is an
adequate number of spe cial officers to
protect Chicago, Kansas City, the
various terminals, as well as larger
stations, and a special agent on each
division in addition to those detailed
to work directly under Mr.. Germain.

SHIPS FLOUR TO IRELAND.
Lincoln Mill Has Much Export Trade
Via New Orleans.

Lincoln, Feb. 14.-When the aver
age reader notices a report of the ex-
ports of the United States from time
to time it is doubtful if he ever con-
meets the report with Lincoln, Kan.
The connection can easily be traced
by a visit to the office of the Lincoln
Roller mills. 1t was stated at the Of
flee that the majority of the output
of the mill is shipped out of the Unit
ed States. That will probably be a
surprise to the average reader also.
Last week shipment of flour was
sent to Belfast, Ireland. The flour
went by the way of New Orleans and
will go from there direct to Ireland.
This routing is used by the mill for all
the foreign shipments.
The foreign shipments are made in
14O and 2SO pound sacks. During
February 100000 pounds will be
shipped.

that the present rates charged by the
