Four Grave Questions of Ma

Seizure Of Lobos Island Light Sta

Peace mediation between the United
States and Mexico is harassed today
by four grave questions OF national
honor that must be satisfactorily adj
justed before the representatives of
Huerta and the United States can dis
cuss plans for pacifcation OF the
southern republic.

maintain when playing against Oak
and before lunch, and hammered out
l6 hits for an S-to-3 victory.
Some excuse can be- found for the
SoX, of course, in the fact that it is
early in the year for players to go
through double-headers at top speed.
They are not quite so full of vim in
the second encounter, but certainly
there should not be such a dimming
of the batting eye.
The old failure to hit consistently
is cropping out again, and the fact
may as well be faced now, before it is
too late. Not that we are trying to
run Mr.. Galatians ball club. Not at
all.
He gets paid for doing that, and we
get paid for guessing what is going
to happen, and then correcting our
dope afterward as to what really did
happen.
But a change is due at second base
and probably will be made before the
squads arrive home for the opening
of the season on the South Side lot.
Berger, a regular last year after
Morris Rath was released, is not bat
ting any better on the training trip
than he did in the regular season of
1913. And that will erase him as a
contender. Joe is a game young man,
quiet, but a fighter, and strives to
win all the time But he hasn't the
mechanical driving power behind his
wallops. In the field he can compete
with the best of them in handling
ground ball, though he is weak at
tagging base stealers.
Russell Blackburne, trying a come
back, is making a success Of his eff
fort. His fielding is the brand that |
made him one of the first of the mod
ern army of expensive recruits, and
his batting has picked up several
points. Like Berger, his natural posi-

Lathrop, Russell and cicotte pitch
ed the double-header, Eddie going
nine innings in the second game. La
throp still showed hsi wild streak,
passing six men in seven innings.
Schalk and Fournier did some nifty
batting, but John Collins was the only
regular who connected safely in both
games.
The seconds got their usual trim
ming from Venice, 6 to 3, Jim Scott
pitching part of the pastime. Scotty
had one accident, Johnny Kane
punching a homer with two on. Jim
revenged himself by soaking four
timer with Barbour on base. Black
burne whaled a double and handled
nine chances at second.
/ The Cubs have started home, stop
ping on the first leg of the trip in
Jacksonville, where they start a
three-game series with the Mackmen
today. So far the Cubs have won two
out of three from the worlds cham
pions, and O'Day wants to maintain
that pace.
Cheney will have another whirI at
the Athletics, and Pierce and Jim
Vaughn will turn loose some south
paw work.
Bresnahan, Zimmerman; Utrecht
and Jimmy Johnston are not in the
best of condition, but their injuries
are not of a serious nature.
The two games between the Chi
feds and Mordecai Browns st. Louis
gang have. at least proven that the
teams are evenly balanced. Each club
has copied victory and the score
in each was the same, to 1. Yester-
day it was the turn of Browns men,
and they won through luck, the Chi
feds playing cleaner game in the
field and registering the larger total
of hits.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, May 11.-Strength pre-
vailed in all parts of the stock mar
ket today Trading was quiet, but buy
ing continued steadily and most of
the representative shares registered
substantial gains. The exchange was
closed until IL o'clock on account of
the services here in memory of the
Vera Cruz dead.
The speculative situation was I'M
changed. There was not one item in
the days news with important bear
ing on financial affairs with the ex-
ception of the engagement of 100000
gold for shipment to Europe. At anoth-
er time. the loss of this gold might
have affected the market adversely
but with circumstances as they are,
1t was without influence, owing to the
abundance of money here and the
slowness Of demand. Demand sterling
rose to 4SS15, the highest since De-
cember of 1909. 1t was understood by
international bankers that the Euro
pean demand for gold was still keen
and that Paris was in the market for
$4,000, 600 or SIS, 100000 more. Todays
engagements of gold exhausted the
supply of gold bars in the assay office
here, and it would be necessary to
have higher exchange rates to make
shipment Of coin profitable. Neverthe-
less it was expected that more gold
would be secured abroad. OF todays
engagements 100000 was for Ber-
liz. This was the first consignment in
about a year for Germany. and 1t was
believed that this gold was destined
for Russia.
European advices were pessimistic
and American stocks were lower
abroad London sold perhaps 10000
shares here The general supply, how
ever was small, and it was necessary
to raise bids in almost every instance
to obtain stocks. A point of strength
was the elimination Of weak spots
which have burneded the general list
recently. Missouri Pacific, one of these
soft spots showed strength today on
the brighter prospects for meeting the
roads financial requirements
Transactions in bonds embraced
large variety of issues, but tn move
ment was uncertain. Total sales, par
value, $1,51s,0O0.
United States rs coupons sold ss
higher, but call prices OF all issues
were unchanged.

Beddington Dam
Washed AWAY

Cherryfield, Me-, May 1.-THE Bedding
ton dam, which is the backbone of the
numbering operations on the Narragua-
gus river, went out Saturday morning.
Between this dam and the town of De-
blois the river runs between high banks,
the bed being very marrow. This big
head of water rushing from Beddington
lake came upon the dam at Deblois, four
miles below, with such force as to carry
away the dam, town bridge and the Will
son mill. The water reached CherryfieId
Saturday night and the low lands south
of Deblois diminished the force some
what. All dams have been opened, drain
ing off as much as possible the water in
the ponds and everything possible has
been don to lessen the danger The loss
of Beddington dam means very little
saving in any Of the mills in Cherryfield
this season as most of the seasons logs
are In the lake above the dam. The loss
of the Deblois bridge shuts off the town
of Beddington and the greater part of
Deblois from intercourse with the outside
world, as all their supplies and mail
come from Cherryfield. w. F. Campbell,
one of the owners of the dam, is on the
upper side of the river. To get home he
will have to drive to Ellsworth from

Citizens Hold Annual Meeting
VoteS36, 87O.57f0r School Support
New School for Church Hill Dist

The question which came in for the
greatest amount of discussion for the
evening was that of the proposed en-
larging of the school building in the
Church Hill district or the erection
of new building. Several citizens of
that district told of existing condi-
tions regarding the present building,
in which the fact was brought out
that the building now in use is Who'll
ly inadequate for the purposes for
which it is used. 1t is old and out of
repair, is only 1sx21 feet in size, and
has an enrolment of q scholars, with
a prospect of 16 more for another year,
and is so crowded that one gentle
man who visited the school recently
found two of the pupils sitting on
desks. Three of the seats were with
in three feet of the stove The amount
asked for to provide for the erection
of NV building was $2500, and after
some discussion it was voted that the
appropriation be made.
DR.. w. H. Harris appeared before
the meeting in behalf of certain par
ties who have children in the student
body of the Smith school, to request
that certain repairs and changes be
made in the building for the purpose
of rendering it more sanitary and
placing it in a better condition gen
orally. He also suggested that an APP
preparation sufficient to cover the cost
of the needed Improvements be made.
AT this point DR.. Thompson inform
ed the meeting that the changes sug-
gested by the preceding speaker were
among the things which the board
had planned to do during the ensu-
ing year.
On motion of Rev. Henry E. Dun
mack it was voted to extend to the
Board of Education yne hearty thanks
of the meeting for their devotion and
interest in their work, after which,
as there was no further business to
be transacted, the meeting was ad-
journed
