Dear Sir: This eternal query about
What is the matter with baseball?'
gives me a sharp and shooting pain.
One might just as we'll ask all the
time what is the matter with bust
ness-what is the matter with politics
- what is the matter with literature
what is the matter with life. For they
all have their troubles their good
years and their bad-tilelr ups and
their downs. Baseball lis made up Of
about the same average of folks who
make up the nation. and IT q has
about the same average. Kindly stick

scoffers chew 1t while.

BORE RUSHED TO HIS FATE
Doctor Johnson's seathins ReJolnder
to Social Pest Who Asked Him
lmpertinent Questions.

Dean Swift long ago analyzed some
of the ways In which people tire each
other In conversation, says the Boston
Herald. The man who talks constant
ly and exclusively about his business,
his ailings, his family, his books. his
misfortunes, who always wants to pre-
scribe for his acquaintances or advise
them soon condemns himself to soil
tude even In the midst of numbers.
Labeled once with the pregnant mono
syllable, his way clears before him as
by magic, for others cultivate the
little strateg1es which keep them out
Of range
Yet any man may become bore at
times. A good deal depends upon
moods and circumstances. Poetic JUS
tice indeed would require that bores
be e1tinguished by enforced associa-
tion with their own kind. The most
severe social punishment inflicted
upon one Of the species by great
man who had not acquired the fatal
facility which tolerates fools, was ad-
mtnistered by Doctor johnson. Said
the bore:
my dear doctor, what would you
give to be as young and sprightly as
I am7"
Thundered the photographer in re-
ply:
'Why. sir, I would almost be con.
tent to be as foolish"

some match-heads and bottle OF sui
phuric acid"
Mineola, N. Y, July Frank Holt,
the Cornell University professor who
shot J. P. Morgan in his home near
Glen Cove last Saturday and placed
bomb in the Capitol at Washington
Friday night, committed suicide in the
!ail here last night.
While several of the jail authorities
declared that Holt killed himself by
climbing through the opening at the
.op Of his cell door and then plungipg
% the narrow court below, Holt's
Keeper said he was positive that the
prisoner was killed in his own cell.
where. he said, he found the body.
Holt's suicide followed an earlier at
Tempt when he slashed his wrists
with the metal Of a lead pencil.
There were many conflicting re-
ports as to the manner. in which Holt
met his death, but it was definitely es-
!ablished, through DR.. Cleghorn, the
Jail physician, that Holt died of frac-
tured skull.
Several Of those about the Jail said
they heard an explosion, the report
coming from Hollis cell. This noise,
It was believed, was due to the falling
IF boards from the top Of the cell. :
jeremiah Organ, the keeper, who
was detailed to watch Holt. said he
was fifteen feet away from the cell,
when he heard loud report. He
looked in the direction Of the cell but
It was dark. Entering, he found
Hollis body, in a pool OF blood. In the
corner.
DR.. Cleghorn denied report that
Holt had killed himself by chewing a
percussion cap. He repeated that
death was caused by a fracture at
the top Of the skull.
An explosion which would have
blown his head off would have fol
lowed an attempt by Holt to chew a
percussion cap. the physician said.
A thorough examination Of Hollis
cell failed to disclose, according to the
jail authorities, any weapon or imple'
ments OF any kind which Holt could
have used to kill himself.
Coroner Walter R. Jones, after view.
Ing the body, said: Undoubtedly a
suicide and undoubtedly the man
jumped
The body was taken to the morgue
in Hampstead, where DR.. Cleghorn
was prepared Immediately to perform
an autopsy.
Dallas, Tex.-"We are all terribly
sorry, but there is little I can say. I
shall not tell my daughter until to-
morrow. do not care to discuss the
matter further tonight"
This was the statement Tuesday
night by DR.. o. F. Sensabaugh, father
in-law Of Frank Holt. when told that
Holt was dead.
Mr.. Sensabaugh said a physician
had told him It would be unsafe to
tell Mrs. Holt of the suicide until We'd
nesday.
Hollis father-in-law said no ar
rangement would be made for the
funeral until later.

The Paris Report.

Paris, via London, April 2t-The following official communication was issued by the French war office to- night:
 ''ln Belgium a nattack was made against trench won by the British on Hill 60, near Zwartelene, but was repulsed. The losses of the enemy at this point since April 17 are from ,000 to 4,000 men.
 In the Champagne near Nille-sur- Tourbe, the Germans attempted to at tack; our artillery prevented them from leaving their lines
 Tn the Argonne region near Baga- telle, a purely local but very energetic attack was stopped short hy our fire. Between the Mouse and the MoseIle we repulsed German attacks of vary ing importance, some of them being merely reconnaissance at the Bois d'Ally, five at the Bois de Mont mare and one at the Bois le Pretre. We attacked to the north of Firey and captured another German trench. We established ourselves there and connected it with those which we had previously taken.
 Our gain of the last few days thus extended over continuous front of more than TOO meters (about half a mile). The enemy left more than 300 dead on the ground.
 in Lorraine there has been an ar tillery duel. In Alsace we easily re- pulsed to the east of Hartmauns WeiIerkopf an attack for which prep arations had been made by violent artillery fire.
 Our aeropanes have bombarded in the Woevre the headquarters of General Vou Strantz and number of conveys in the grand duchy of Baden, as well as an electric power plant at Lorrach."

SOCIALISTS SEEK
 FOR PEACE BASIS
GERMAN SOCIALISTS DECLARE DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF WAR
 MUST BRING IT TO CLOSE,

The Hague, via London April 2l- The socialists of Germany are seek ing earnestly for basis on wlich the cessation of the war can be brought about.
 Dr. Breitcheidt, prominent mem Der of the German socialist party is now in Holland consulting the Dutch socialist leaders with a view to get ting into communication with the British and through them with the French socialists in an endeavor 10 bring pressure to bear on the various governments.
 It is declared that the German so- cialists are virtually unanimous in favor of peace and against any an ueXation of territory.
 The general view of the socialists is that Alsace and Lorraine should belong to neither France nor Ger many, it is said, but should be au- tOnOmous. The argument is that if France recaptures the provinces a ranking for vengeance would be held by a large part of the population. which it is asserted does not desire to be governed by the French, and that therefore the situation would be as bad as ever.
 It is reported that the great Prus- sian land owners are trying to treat for peace with Russia owing to fears that their property will suffer. but the socialists are said to have eX- pressed the opinion that the prospects of durable peace are more likely through an arrangement of terms by Germany with France and England and by evacuating Belgium.
 With reference to the Dardanelles it is declared that the German social ists believe that it will not be fea sible to internatonalize or neutralize the straits until United States of Europe has been formed. They as sert that the futility of neutrality has already been shown.
 The socialists of Germany assert that it will be impossible to starye Germany, but express the belief that the war cannot continue much longer in consequence of the disastrous effect on the economic conditions oi all the countries engaged.

YOUTHFUL ROBBERS

TWO DRAW PENALTIES OF
 FOR SHAVING BARTENDER.

Chicago, April 2l--Seven youthful robbers who pleaded that they en. tered a criminal career through loaf ing in pool rooms were sentenced in Chicago courts today.
 Edward Kremseller, IS. and Thomas Wardell, 26, were sentenced to 25 years in prison by Judge Petit in the criminal court for staying barten- der. Five others. from Is to 20 years, old, were sentenced for robbery. Judge Petit, in sentencing Kremseller and Wardell to prison for murder, said
 'I had intended sentencing you to life imprisonment, but after consider ing the part society plays in keeping these hellhoes of vice open, | will be a little more lenient. must con. slider the fact that these pool rooms, known to be the rendezvous of gun men, robbers and crooks, are per mitted to operate by the city. These boys are virtually invited into a life of crime
 Vernon Brown, 2l years old, and Louis Kasper, 19 years old. tonight confessed to the police that they had shot and killed Henry Pfoertner, an aged shOpkeeper, last January when he resisted their efforts to rob him. The youths asserted that they had been inspired to a criminal career by the stories heard from other habitues of pool rooms
 Several days ago four youths con. fessed the murder of an old florist, whom they attempted to rob in his flower shop. They also asserted that they had learned theft and thuggery in pool rooms.

nothing like it. he said, had ever been

nothing like it, he said, had ever been done before by any country.
 Stating that as much ammunition had been expended in the battle of Neuye Chapelle as during the whole Boer war, Mir. George said that the character of the ammunition had to be changed in the middle of the war and to secure supplies sub-contracts were given to between 2,50 and 5000 firms. When it was found that they could not keep up the supplies the government took steps to take over all works suitable for the manufac- ture of munitions As a result there had been a great increase in the output.
 If they took the figure 20, the chan celOr said, as the amount of artillery ammunition manufactured in Septem- Der, in October it was 90, in January 1S6, and in March 3SS.
 Mr. Lloyd-George said that Great Britain was also supplying her allies with munitions and that in spite of this there still was large reserve.
 The chancellor adhered to this statement, that small minority of workmen could, through drink, throw the whole work out Of gear. He promised that when the government measure was introduced dealing with this matter it would be found that it had not been approached from the point of view of persons who wanted to advance any particular idea or notion, but from the point of view of persons who had one object in mind - an increase ill munitions.
 It was no use saying there was no more drinking than normally, the speaker said. These were abnormal times and they had to take abnormal measures with an evil which had be- come abnormal.
