Passes to New Jerseys
Naval Militia.

The Adams, the last Of the old
wooden ships of the United States
navy, which from 1908 until last fall
was the training ship Of the Pennsyl-
vania State Nautical school, has been
turned over to the New Jersey naval
militia for their cruise off the Maine
coast, we read in the Philadelphia
Ledger.
This relic of the "old navy" is enc
of the most picturesque ships now
afloat. Bark rugged. with her tow
ering masts and high black topsid
and the guns peering through b
ports. she is an object OF admiration
and curiosity in every part she visits.
She was built in 1874. Until june
1889, when she went to Samoa, she
had an uneventful existence. During
the controversy with Germany she
was the sole defender Of the Ameri-
can flag in that territory. She then
was sent to the Pacific coast, and In
1894 went ashore in Boring strait
She was fioated, repaired and brought
back to the United States. She then

The gentle, sometimes plaintive
voice of the preacher had no power
to distract from thought. His wistfui
message could not reach the man TOT
whom 1t had been prepared In the
hope that II would come to him win
healing In its wings.
Love would do that. HIS
own chance words kept running
through Marks mind, bidding him fol-
low them along a new path. He FOL
lowed, wondering that he had never
trod that way before.
Was that, then, the evidence OF love
Was there another manifestation OF
the miracle than that he had asked
and awaited? For he had sought love-
thinking to find it expressed as he
had known II before, in the old ro'
mantle visioning, the rhapsodic sentl'
mentalities, the lust to possess. Marx

The preacher was closing. Like a

MCLAUGHLIN PLACED FIRST.
Third Consecutive Tennis Champion
shin Goes to California Player.

New York. Dec. 21.-The ranking
committee Of the United States Ma
tional Lawn Tennis association issued
the annual list Saturday. Maurice E.
Mclaughlin of California getting the
honored place of No. 1 for the third
consecutive year. In placing the hero
of the Davis cup matches above r.
Norris Williams II, the national cham
pion, who beat Mclaughlin at New
port, the committee clearly stated in
the report that the ranking Is accord
ing to the record.
Fred C. Inman, chairman, w. l..
Pate and w. M. Hall. the committee,
sum up their finding as follows:
The committee deems it unneces-
sary to comment on the comparison of
these two records. The record tells its
own story. 1t admits of no discussion.
1t establishes without any doubts
whatever the superiority Of McLaugh-
Inns record over that of Mr.. Williams,
and the former has therefore been
awarded first place"
The committee recommends that
the national association pass a rule
that in coming years the national
champion be arbitrarily rated No. 1
and that the rule be made clear as to
whether or not Davis cup matches are
to be taken into account.

Walter Johnson Jumps Back
to Organized Baseball.

History of War.

broke the worlds jumping record here
Saturday when he turned his back be-
hind him and leaped all the way back
to organized baseball and the. Wash
ington American League after having
been in the ranks of the Federal out
laws less than month.
AS an excuse for jumping out of the
Federal harness Immediately. almost.
after having jumped into it. johnson
said that he had discovered that the
option in the contract signed last year
with the Washington club was binding
and stated that he was going back to
Washington to fulfill his agreement
with the old club.
He will return the 5000 advanced to
him by the Federals and it is stated
will receive only $12 900 year from his
old club. His Federal contract, it is
stated, called for $17,500 year for
term Of three years.
When told of Johnson's back flop.
President Gilmore of the FederalS said:
II don't believe Walter is that kind OF
a fellow-you will have to show me.
We know that he was not bound to the
Washington club. and will fight to the
last ditch to hold him to the contract
signed with u.s."
Although Manager Griffith made the
positive statement that johnson had
not received a bonus for jumping back
to organized baseball. those who follow
the fortunes of the game believe that
the major league war chest has been
opened and that Walter will get or has
gotten his. There isn't vast differ
ence between $12.500 year and $lS.-
900 a year, and although johnson may
Wo that diff
ference of $500 would look pretty
good.

Governor Of Tamaulipas Wires
Acceptance

Washington, Dec. 1. - Official dis,
patches confirmed earlier reports that
General Luis Caballero, governor OF
Tamaulipas, has Joined the forces OF
Villa in Mexico.
As Caballero is in control of Ia
maulipas, the peaceful entry OF the
troops which have been marching
eastward from San Luis Potosi is now
expected.
Caballero has been claimed by both
the Carranza and Villa factions. Ca
ballero has telegraphed to Gutierrez
his allegiance to the Aguas Calientes
convention.
In dispatch dated at Queretaro
the temporary capital OF the conven
ton faction, Special Agent Canova, OF
the state department, said runner
was current that General Pablo Con
zales, one of the Carranza division
! commanders, had proclaimed himself
provisional president and named
cabinet. Canova was unable to con
firm the runor. Officials in Washing
ton think it unlikely.
General Gonzales still remains
loyal to Carranza, according to ad
vices received by the ConstitutiOnalis
agency in Washington. A report from
the agency's consular representative
at Laredo stated that Gonzales is il
daily communication with Carranza.
