was so unwarranted that a stranger
passing by voluntarily offered to ap-
pear as witness against the police.
The first arrest in the Mattresses
strike against the Knab-Powers-Eft
ing restaurant combine came today
when Margaret Ryan, young wait
ress, was dragged from a Cottage
Grove avenue car and locked up at
the Central Station because she
handed out cards calling attention to
the strike.
A large crowd followed and hooted
the policeman while he was arresting
the girl. Miss Ryan merely was ex-
ercising the right to picket silently.
She had only handed out the cards.
The restaurant. bosses faced new
difficulty today when Henry Becker,
business agent of the Bakery Wagon
Drivers Union, called a meeting of
that organization for this afternoon.
It is expected that all members of
that union who are employed by the
three restaurant bosses will walk out
in sympathy with the mattresses,
cooks, bakers and walters.
Knab, Fitting and Powers are joint
owners of a bakery at SD street and
Calumet avenue, at which are sew

Drivers Union.
The chief hindrance to all peace
proposals that have been made is
George Knab, who seems determined
to fight the girls and to gain the sup
port of the Restaurant Keepers As
ISOLATION.
Carrie Alexander, Elizabeth Ma

leaders are enthusiastic over the

Early today the leaders had picket
squads on duty in front of the af-
fected places. They kept perfect or

story is that in 1912 ne had bets with some
Of the Philadelphia intieldcrs that his club
would beat them out Well, Washington
finished second that year, and the Athletics
third. Griffith has never been able to collect
these bets, and nearly every time his team
faces the Athletics he gets after these men
and oshcs the life out Of them. Especially
does he do this when Walter Johnson IS
pitching; for no club can hit Johnson, and
when a club isn't hitting it loses its goat
quicker The Athletics have it in for Griffith.
GrifT is a manager who is quick to stop a
batting rally by changing pitchers. | have
heard his pitchers say that he pitches them
one day a week in the box and five days a
week in a warm-up pen. He constantly has
pitchers warming up, so as to be able to rush
them into the game if the situation demands
it. Last year Griffith yankcd pitchers out
of the box one hundred and twenty-five

WAGNER GETS ELK HERD
Fifty Head Will Come From
Wyoming and Be Turned
Loose in Villas County.

Advices from c. M. Wagner,
who arrived last week from Mil
waukee, is that through strenu-
Gus efforts he and other Milwau-
kee gentlemen have secured fifty
head Of elk from Jackson's Hole,
Wyoming, this number having
been promised the state game de-
partment providingit would paw
the freight, about $40 per head.
Upon the refusal of the depart
ment to do so, Mr.. Wagner in
terested others and has now the
assurance that the elk will arrive
If due time. They will be turned
loose in this section.
From an article which appear
ed the the Merrill Daily Herald,
one would be led to believe that
the securing of these elk were due
to the efforts of the state game
But thisis an error.

Shipped Underweight Fish

Game Wardens Foster and
Thorn, while in the exercise of
their official duties, conhscated a
three and three-quarter pound
muskellonge, which was being
shipped from Sayner to Cincin-
natl, Ohio, via the St. Paul road,
consigned to B. D. Best. On the
label it was scheduled as weigh
ing nine pounds. The label was
otherwise misleading and the fish
has been placed in storage to
be used as evidence. Arrests will
follow, although "Mr. Best"
could not be found on the train.
This is the second illegal ship
ment from Sayner confscated this
season.-Wausau Record-Herald.

submitted by Mr.. Sayner showed
that his name had been used as
shipper of the fish without his
knowledge.

caught a black bass weighing 10
pounds and measuring % inches
in length. The attention of the
hshlng party was first attracted
by a connection in the water
and on rowing up to it, discover
ed the bass on the surface of the
water apparently choking to
death on a black sucker whose
tail was protruding from the
mouth of the bass. Several eff
forts were made by Mr.. Wallace
to get hold of the fish with his
hands, but they were fruitless.
Charles Showers, who happened
to be fishing near by them loaned

big bass was taken.

tuberculosis Cam
paign In Middletown

At the request of Health and Soc
ial Committees Of the New Century
Club, the Delaware State Tuber-
culosis Commission has opened a
Dispensary in Middletown. Clinics
are held on Thursdays at II NJ. for
colored patients and at 2.3O p. m.
for white patients, and already five
patients have been examined and
treated at the Dispensary. The ply
sicians who have kindly offered
their services are DR.. D. w. Lewis
and DR.. Norman Beale. DR.. Cuff
will attend the colored patients.
A tuberculosis Dispensary is not
merely place where the sick may
come and receive treatment, but an
educational center for tuberculosis.
Visitors are cordially invited, and
the nurse in charge, Miss Sumner,
is very glad to give information
within her power to any one.
At every dispensary tuberculosis
literature is kept for free distribu-
ton, as well as catalogues of the
various sanitoriums in the country,
all Of which should prove of inter
est to all interested in public well
fare.
The tuberculosis campaign is
really a health campaign and needs
the assistance of all the people to
bring about the sanitation that
helps to prevent this tragic disease.

in any other town on the shore.
That was all considered before the
church decided to invite. At that
time there were two splendid hotels
offering first-class service. One OF
these has been burned. We could
not forsee that loss. The pastor ad-
vises that the hotels and boarding
houses, as far as possible, will be
reserved for the laymen. Our
friends of the other churches OF the
town are offering their homes free
ly without solicitation. We deeply
appreciate this favor.
The writer would remind you
that at the last session of confer

genuine hospitality was accepted.

Judging unfavorably her first-time-

embarrassment, | would suggest
that the conference indorse that pc
culiar proposition, somewhat like
aqueous vapor, which might be

Philadelphia Conference should be
so inconsiderate as not to protect
us from disaster. Then ''we would
flee as bird to yon mountain" and
say goodbye" forever to all con-
ferences on this fair old Eastern
Shore.

consin by which any bill introduc-

the meeting Of the Legislature, may,
if not passed, be referred to the
people.
In Oregon a proposed constltu-
tional amendment provides for the
appointment of a cabinet by the
governor and a unicameral legisla-
ture. In Kansas, Governor Hodges
urges commission plan OF govern
ment. The objection to this plan
is that it places power in the hands
of a small commission of men. DR..
Willoughby referred to the fact
that it depends upon the kind of
government you have as to the
kind of men you can get to admin
lister it. If it is a decentralized
government, men of power are sell
dom inclined to give their time and
energy to it.
In closing DR.. Willoughby de-
fined such movements as the lniti-
ative, Referendum and Recall, the
Australian ballot, ETC., as merely
efforts to increase the control over
party government, and as neces-
sary if we accept the principle
of party government. Personally,
he placed his confidence in the
ideal of centralized authority.
