Cubs Have Mechanical Power
Finish Rests With O'Day.


teams in the National League for the
coming pennant flight, refuse to con-
slider the Cubs as better than third
place team, and a few have consign-
ed the West Side gang to a, berth in
the second division.
s This rating is all based on the fact
that Hank O'Day is managing the
team. The experts opine that Hanks
methods will be too ancient to cope
with the strategy of McGraw, Stall
ings and some of the other wise heads
directing National League teams.
But Just remember that O'Day is
surrounded by some ballplayers with
brains, men who will assist him in
directing the teams campaign, and
he will not be too bull-headed to listen
to their advice.
There is enough mechanical
strength in the Cub lineup to give
the squad at least position in the
first three teams. A pitching staff,
something that was lacking last
spring, is ready for action; the catch
ers are as good as last year, and at
least one of them will do better work;
the infield has not suffered particle,
and the outfeld, with two new men
present, should be an improvement
over the garden bunch that opened
the spring of 1913.
O'Day has the materials for
ready-made ball team. If he is any
kind of a manager at all he will be
able to whip together machine that
can bust itself through five teams in
the league and give the other two
one grand little fight for every game.
At the start of the season, at least,
there will be an absence of~the dis
sension which caused the Cubs to
slip off during part of the last cam
paign. There will not be any loose
ends to gather up and jealousy will be
a minus quantity.

Battling LeVinsky Is Here-Trains
For Bout With Moha.


heavyweight, the worlds "oftenest'
fighter, arrived in town today for
few training stunts in preparation
for his fight with Bob Moha in Mil
waukee next Monday night.
Levinskywasted no time, and went
right to work at a downtown gym
nasium, polishing up punch with
which he hopes to do considerable
damage to Moha.
In his recent fights LeVinsky has
failed to exhibit smashing wallop.
He appears to have lost the haymak-
er that was winning all of his earlier
fights, and has been getting decisions
on cleverness. Such methods will
never do for heavyweight who as
pires to a championship, and Dan
Morgan, manager of the New Yorker,
realizes that fact as well as anyone.
Levinsky says he can't explain his
failure OF put over a knockout. He
feels as strong as he ever did, is plant
ing his blows cleanly, but lacks the
old zip. If his wallop does not return
he may take a long vacation to get
in condition for his fight with Gun
boat Smith in New York during the
early part of May.

make a tour of the Pacific coast if |
he succeeds in licking Joe Azevedo,

HISTORY AND ROMANCE
 BLENDED IN QUO vAD|s'
Most Wonderful Achievement in Mo- ton Picturedom; Awe lnspir-
 ing Spectacle

History, romance and tragedy are blended into one aweinspiring and thrilling ensemble in George Kleine's photo drama production of Henry Sienkiewicz justly celebrated story, Quo Vadis," which opens at the La mara for the first time today.
 This is the most marvellous achieve ment yet in photo drama and ere ated sensation at the Astor theater in New York City, also at Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston where the pictures were presented to enormous crowds at every performance. For scope, magnitude, extravagant splen- dor and liberality, these pictures have never been equalled and they carry with them an appeal to every community. They entertain and in- struct at the same time and accom- plish much for religion as they do for study.
 The story of Ninitius love for the lovely Christian maid Lygia is re- lated with remarkable fidelity and | the companion picture of his friend 1 Petronius' great passion for his hand some slave, Eunice, is also faithfully 1 shown. The trials of the early Chris
 tian martyrs, the vain and cruel
 temperament of the wicked tyrant
 Nero. and his courtiers. which were
 so graphically drawn by the author
 are illustrated on the screen witI commendable Veracity and even those who have never read the book ear
Arizona republican., 1914-05-11

comprehend the whole story from the pictures
 Episodes that stir the mind to wonder and make the blood surge rapidly around the heart are pictori- alized with amazing truth. The
 gladiator combats, the chariot races, the burning of Rome, the deyouring
 of the Christians by the lions, the marvellous feasts of Nero, the stir ring conquest of the wild bull by the giant slave Ursus, the gathering of the Christians in the catacombs and the appearance of the Saviour to Peter are all shown with wonderful truth of detail and form a spectacle
 so stupendous no one can afford to
 miss it.
 The best talent of the Italian stage , was used in the building of the pie ture and the acting of these players
 is nothing short of marvellous. One forgets he is looking at photo drama and feels that he is living
 among the peoples and scenes he is looking at.
 MT. Kleine has spared no pains or expense to equip this production with every artistic attribute and is to be commended for his dignified method
 The engagement in this city will be liimted to today and tomorrow.

IMPEACHMENT OF
 JUSTICE CHASE

The first trial of a justice of the su- preme court in the United States was that of Samuel Chase, who was recog- nized as one of the ablest of that body. He was resident of Maryland and was appointed to the supreme court on January 27, 1796. The practice of adding disquisitions on current politics to charges to grand juries was then common with American judges, as it had long been in Great Britain. and after the downfall of the federal party in 1901 Chase kept up the practice with a bitterness and ability equally dis pleasing to the dominant party.
 In the national house of representa- tives of January 5, 1904, John Ram dolph obtained committee to investi- gate Chase's official conduct, and on | their report he was impeached on No- vember 30, 1SO4 and Randolph was appointed chief manager. The arti- cles of impeachment were presented 1 to the senate on December 4, 1S04 and
 the trial was begun on January 2. 1SO5 There were eight articles against liiul. l. T UT dTDllTdIy anu uIlJuSt conduct in the trial of John Fries for high treason, in April, 1900. in refusing

der, Chase's council argued successful
 ly that his conduct had been rather a
 violation of the principles of politeness
 than of the principles of law; rather
 the want of decorum than the commits sion of a high crime and misdemea-
 nor"
 On the third, fourth and eighth arti- cles. Chase was pronounced guilty by q small majority, the largest, nineteen to fifteen. on the eighth; on the other guilty. and as a two-thirds majority was not given for any article, he was pronounced not guilty on all, March 1, 1895.
 The result of the trial led to some efforts On the part of the democratic leaders to change the tenure of federal judges There is no doubt that consid- erable of the animosiry against Justice Chase was political in character, and John Randolph was one of his severest opponents. The requisite two thirds | vote required for impeachment could | not be obtained and Judge Chase was discharged on March g. 1906, by the | senate
 On the first article, ten said guilty
 and twenty-four not guilty; on the
 second the vote stood the same: on the
 third and fourth, eighteen said guilty
 and sixteen not guilty: on the sixth, four said guilty and thirty not guilty; l on the seventh ten said guilty and l tWentyfour said not guilty, and on
 the eighth, nineteen to fifteen. The president then declared Samuel Chase | acquitted on all charges and the inn peachment court adjourned.

 services to his country, and the purity

RURAL CARRIERS
 HAVE ADDED DUTIES
Have Instructions to Assist in Forest
 Fire Prevention

WASHINGTON. May 10. = The
 postoffice department has just re-
 peated. in the current postal guide
 supplement. the instructions through
 which rural carriers are to report
 forest fires to the proper authorities
 during the coming season. These
 instructions were first issued in
 May. 1912. and during the past two
 years the cooperation has resulted
 in the detection and suppression of
 many fires.
 State and federal forest officers
 will make a special effort this year tc get even more value out of the service than has been obtained here tofore. The usual procedure has been for the state fire wardens or federal forest officers to send to the post masters lists of local wardens and patrolmen. with their addresses and telephone numbers These lists are given to the carriers with instruc- tions to report forest fires to men whose names appear thereon, or to 1 other responsible persons. This year q special effort will be made to fol- lew up the sending out of the lists 1 by having the patrolmen and war dens meet the carriers personally
 and to take the initiative in arrang- ing such meetings, also to map out a plan of action to be followed. Cooperation between the rural
 carriers and federal forest officers will be effective in the twenty states | in which national forests exist and with state forest officers in the twenty states which have established l their own fire protective systems. It is expected that the services of the carriers will be particularly valuable in helping to protect the new nation
 al forest areas in the southern Ap- palachians.

 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.
 No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted.

Especial to The Republican,

Special to The Republican,
 CAIRO. May 10.-An account of the adventure with lion which caused the death of Lieutenant N. c. B. Halhed, Yorkshire Light Infantry, attached to the Egyptian army, has been received.
 Lieutenant Halhed was passing a forest in the neighborhood of Tonga when he discovered a lion. which re- treated into the bush after receiving two shots from the officers rifle. The lieutenant followed the wounded beast, which suddenly sprang upon him from the bush and bit him in the ans and leg.
 Lieutenant Halhed, with great pres ence of mind, twisted his rifle into the mouth of the lion and thus saved him. self from receiving further injuries. A shot from one of the lieutenant's 8 followers induced the lion to let go it's victim, who thereupon recharged his rifle and shot the lion dead. It was not thought that his wounds were so serious as to cause fatal results.

WITH THE MOVIES.

A chance stay at farmhouse last summer gave Russell E. Smith an idea that lay unused for long while, but finally came to light in the form of a Mutual Movie comedy. Mir. Smith was stopping at a farmhouse, and there was county fair in progress nearby Various prize fowl and other edible creatures were stored away at night and broke loose. Smith went out to kill chicken for supper and was just about to decapitate the struggling fowl when an out of breath farmer rushed up with the interesting infor- nation that it was very valuable prize rooster which had escaped away from the county fair. The idea thus aroused has just come to light in a western comedy which Mr. Smith has written for Arthur Mackley, who is just completing it for an early Reliance Mutual Movie release, en- titled "The Comboy's Chicken Din ner."

THEN AND NOW.

One hundred and eighteen years ago today the worlds first vaccination by physician was performed. On that day Dr. Edward Jenner, an Eng fish doctor, who had devoted 30 years to studying the subject, drew lymph from the hand of Sarah Newles. a milkmaid who had contracted cowpox while milking cows. He applied it to the arm of an eight-year-old boy. named James Phillips It was the beginning of the conquest of small poX. At that time smallpox was caus- ing one-tenth of all the deaths of the human race. It had destroyed or .disfigured more than a fourth of man kind It killed more than 5O.0O0 900 Europeans during the eighteenth cen tury The absence of pock-marks in those days was means of identifca- tion. The London police department issued the following description of q criminal sought in the seventeenth century: "Thomas Bayly, ashort, burly man, fair and fresh colored, without pock-marks Before the
 discovery of vaccination, smallpox was as prevalent as bronchitis is to- day. A half century before Jenner gave his discovery to the World. the dread disease wiped out 70 per cent of Greenland's population in single year. The Spanish explorers carried it to the New World, and three years after Cortez had landed in Mexico over 3,500,000 natives had fallen vic tins to the scourge. More North American Indians fell before it's in- vasion than fell before the white mans gun. Their number is estimat- ed as high as 6,O00,000.
 Today vaccination has made small poX a negligible factor practically driven it out of existence as scourge of nations. Backed by the authority of law in many countries, medical science has inoculated the civilized races and made pock-marked face a rarity today Before Jenner dis covered vaccination England reported smallpox cases at the rate of 1000 to every million inhabitants. Today the vaccine point has reduced the rate to 20 to each million. Univer- sal vaccination is compulsory in Ger many and the rate has fallen to less than two to a million. 1t is rated at one case in million people in Sweden today Knowing that the dread disease has killed more people than have bullets and famine com- bined most of the worlds govern ments compel it's people to he vacci- mated All United States soldiers and sailors pass through the experience. All immigrants landing on our shores must be inoculated. Many states have laws that order it's school child ren to be vaccinated. Persons who have not undergone the operGtion in Norway are denied the privilege of voting at any election. Both bride and groom in Norway and Sweden must certify that they have been in oculated before the minister will join them in wedlock.
