BASSETT ON THE GROUND.

LII. TANK DdSSeJJ, pIeSlucuJ VI
the Kitty league, will be in Paducah
on Monday to meet members of the
baseball association and fans in
general and renew his friendship
and talk over the prospects for the
approaching season. c. W. Craig,
one of the local directors, was mott
fed Saturday of his coming. From
here President Bassett will go to
Cairo, ILL.,, and meet the enthusiasts
and members of the baseball as
sociation. He will make trip over
the circuit to rekindle the baseball
fire and start the enthusiasm for the
season. The president has many
warm admirers here and they will
be glad to see him. When Paducah
won the 1918 gonfalon there wasn't
more pleased man in the league
than President Bassett, for he had
hoped Paducah would be on top
when the season ended.
APPLICANTS FOR MANAGER.
Several applicants are after the
management of the Paducah team
next season. Business Manager B.
B. Hook has received a number of
requests for the position, most of
them from qualified players, and all
will be given consideration. A. H.
Brouthers, who was manager last
season, and to whom most of the
credit was due for winning the
pennant, is expected to be a candi-
date for the position this year.
The 1913 season probab y netted
Brouthers more money than any
other manager in the league, as he
received about $1,000 for five
months work. If he is employed
again his salary will be reduced, as
Business Manager Hook is of the
opinion such a sum is too much
salary to pay a Glass d manager.
A purse of $25 or $50 will be of
fered to the baseball writer who
produces the largest volume and best
quality of baseball news during the
season, the prize to be paid by B. B.
Hook, business manager Of the local
association, and treasurer of the
league. He believes that the prize
will operate to the good of the league
because the newspaper with knocks
would be eliminated from the con-
test. Business Manager Hook con-
tends that the writers should adjust
themselves to the rule, IF you can't
boost don't knock" The purse will
be made payable to the writer of the
baseball news and not the newspaper
that publishes it. 1t will be open to
all baseball writers on the circuit.
He will make a provision that the
newspapers must be mailed to him
so he can watch the news and gossip.
Every baseball writer in the league
no doubt will enter the race, for the
mere mention of money will make
newspaper man jump.-Paducah

UNITED KINGDOM TO
PUSH DEFENSE PLAN

London, April 27.-plans for a de-
tense conference OF Great Britain and
her domfnions are rapidly assuming
form and will be complete when the
consent of Canada is gained. Australia
and New Zealand have already an
nounced their desire for such a confer
ence, and since the problem of the Pa
enc Will be the chief topic considered.
1t is believed that Canada will Join the
other dominions.
AS the result of the trip which a,
parliamentary committee made to the
dominions it was found that Australia
ana New Zealand statesmen believe
flr1nly that the problem of the coming
decade will be the maintenance of SUI
premacy for the white race in the Pa
enc. 1t was pointed out to the COM
mltteeS that Japan is making prepara-,
TONS to develop trade and emigration
toward the antipodes and thai there is
a constant flow of Chinese to the ISL
andS of the Pacific, france already has
largely increased her steamship faciIi-
tles With these islands, and Germany,
Holland and the United States also are
actlVe In the am regions.
The determination of the
TO bring o the conference has been
increased by reports from Sir Maurice
fltzmaurlce. who has been advising the
commonwealth government on naval
matters, and Sir Ian Hamilton, inspec-
tor general of oversee forces. 1t has
not yet been decided whether the con-
terence will be held in London. Canada
or Australia. but the idea is growing.
ana when the meeting is finally held it
is likely that ali of the British domin-
Ions Will have delegates present.
Australia and New Zealand have not
taken kindly to the suggestion made
by Winston Churchill. first lord of the
admiralty, in his speech introducing
the naval estimates, that the safety of
those two countries was secured by
the Anglo-Japanese alliance. William
ferguson Massey, prime minister of
New Zealand. led an attack on the first
FORD in a recent speech at Greymouth,
IN which he said he did not believe the
aliiance had secured the safety of the
British dominions in the a%ntipodes.

AELS BERGHEIM NOW IN
HAMILTON INSANITY HOSPITAL

Howard. S. D., April 25.-The au-
thorities of Miner county have just
lodged in the Yankton hospital for the
insane Nels Bergheim, who recently
shot n killed Mons Haugo,, his broth-
erinlaw. The placing of the young man
IN the asylum in accordance with the
verdict Of the jury which was sum-
to try him on the charge of
murder, is the closing chapter in a
tragedy which created intense excite
ment at the time it occurred a few
weeks ago. Bergheim is about 90
years of age. He became infatuated with
q sister Of his brotherinlaw and being
repulsed by her he blamed his brother
1nlaw for interfering in the matter and
influencing his sister against him. For
more than a year he brooded over his
disappointment in love. His health
failed and he became q wreck
and insane. His condition was such
that his parents had arranged to have
him taken before the county board of
insanity. It is presumed that he heard
of this plan and this drove him into a
frenzy. during which he sought out
his brotherninlaw and killed him.
Bergheim Is the second Miner county
murderer to be declared insane within
the course of a few weeks, the other
being Herbert Thompson, who shot and
killed his girl wife. and who, like Berg
helm, was declared insane by the iury
which was called to try him on the
charge of murder.

Panama. April 27.-Colonel George
w. Goethals, governor of the Panama
canal one, yesterday issued orders
placing the canal zone on a strict war
footing.
Goethals instructed Major Gerhardt,
commanding the Tenth infantry, to-
send two companies of infantry to pa
troll the Gatun locks and one each for
duty at the Miraflores and Pedro Mi
guel locks. The soldiers We're given 100
rounds of ammunition each n will

1t is understood that coast artillery
companies will be distributed among
the Notifications on Flamenco and
Culebra islands at the Pacific end of
the canal n also at Zorro point and
other forts at the Atlantic end.
The action of Colonel Cocktails is be-

american sentiment expressed on the.
fly sheets which We're making their ap-
pearance in the streets of Panama and
also shown editorial!y in Ell Diario,
which is strongly pro-Mexican.
There are $50 MeXicans employed on

PRESENT LABOR TROUBLE
BEGAN SEVEN MONTHS AGO

Denver, Colo. April 27.-Colorado's
present labor trouble began seven
months ago. On September 23, 1913.
the strike called by tie United Mine
Workers of America became effective.
Approximately 49, 900 men employed in
the mines, the number who answered
the strike call was estimated variously
at from 5000 to 10000, the operators
claiming a considerable number had
left the camps previously rather than
become involved in the controversy.
Briefly the demands of the miners
were:
Recognition of the union.
A 10 per cen wage advance on a
tonnage basis.
Eight hour day for all classes of la
Dor.
Check weighman.
The right to trade and board where
they pleased.
Enforcement of the Colorado mining
laws and abolition of the guard sys-
tenn"
Numerous efforts were made by
Governor Ammons to arrange a basis
for the settlement of differences, each
failing because of the persistence of the
refusal of the strikers to waive and the
operators to grant recognition of the
union.

For tho Babies.

From the Chicago Tribune.
1t would be untruth to say that the
baby is getting the worst of it in modern
society. 1t is not. More is being DON for
the comfort and life of infants today than.
at any time in the history of the race.
But it is true. on the other hand. that the,
path Of a large number Of babies in a
modern Industrial Babel like Chicago is
beset with hardships and dangers that,
were not dreamed of a generation back,
and that are not dreamed Of today in
thousands of smaller communities.
There are thousands Of mothers in the
tenement districts who must wholly sup
port their families. There are thousands
of others who must supplement the fam
lily income in part. They go out to do
washing. Thousands of these mothers in
Chicago are totally detached from friends
or relatives who might look after the
children in the mothers absence. Tho
Infants of such unfortunate women do not
fare well at any time. They fare es-
~pecially badly in the summer, when the
tenement house often becomes a den of
pestilence.
To these children Of the poorest poor
the Infant Warfare society comes with
a rescuing hand. 1t tides them over the,
critical period in their existence-ths first;
and second ummeT The emissaries Of
the society often literally wrest such I'M
babies from the clutches OF
death.

cal officials that they took the body
then and threw it into the well.
A few days after the disappearance

Denver, April 27.-John McLennan,

Workers of America, held by the state
militia under Maj. P. j. Hammock, near
LUDLOW, was ordered released today
by Lieutenant Governor FITZGERALD.
There was no charge against McLen-
a and, therefore, said Fitzgerald, no
reason for holding him.
Numerous conferences today resulted
in an informal agreement for a truce
IN the strike district, according to
Fitzgerald, to give opportunity for
public excitement to subside. 1t was
understood that strike leaders would
use their influence to restrain the
following from committing acts of
violence and Lieutenant Governor
Fitzgerald made it plain that the
militia was in the strike zone merely
to maintain order and would not take
the offensive against strikers who
maintained peace.
