Pensacola, Fla, June 15.-The Rev.
Wiley Wilson, the Mississippi Baptist
minister held here on the charge of
white slavery has expressed his de-
sire to plead guilty as charged. He

reading had informed him that he
was doing wrong in clipping with the
girl when he had wife and six chill
dren he said it was his intention to
marry Miss Rogers as soon as his
wife procured a divorce.
He Had Trouble.
Il had a just cause to leave my
wife," said Wilson. "We had a whole
lot of trouble but | kept it quiet, not
even telling my brothers. | realized
that l couldn't fuss at home and
preach, and / didn't know what to do.
1t was the mistake of my life when
married that woman. l have heard
that she has said that she wouldn't
live with me. Well, she won't get
the chance"
Wilson said his second wife and her
three children are living with her
father, Bill Tutor, near ToccopoIa,
He said his three Oldest

 The New fields were easy for II. X K. in Monday morning game. IL was just a battingfest for Putnhm's repre- sentatives but 5tratton stood up and took his medicine while he was pound ed to all corners Of Che lot for l7 with a total of q. This alone tells the tale. On the other hand the Brass city bunch could not get to Iindetman effectively and the support behind him was all to the merry. Lindefman carried of bat. ting honors with four with total of seven i'll five times up. Brooks got three safe wallops and Wells and West two each Tatro, in his three times up was the only one that did not connect safely. Breck of the visitors also showed form with the bat and lined out three with a total of four in five chances.
 The game dragged and dragged and many went home before the final in- ming. Linderman was letting up and in the sth they got to him while he #
 was pitching wet ball and before the inning closed there were four hits, one l Il double, wild throw, and two mer l crossed. Tatro made pretty one hand l catch of O'Bren in the second and in the same inning Brooks added another feature by gathering in Bfennan's fly. i Wells proved the life of all the games worked hard and uses his head Brownie and Fallon showed to advan tage and the whole team played clean game for error column except for Mn rian's wild throw in the eighth.

On Che other hand John son and Smith were batted from the box and Linderman, who pitched the team lo victory in the morning went in again and was equally effective with his earlier performance. But il was too late. Newlield had the game sewed up and worked every minute to keep the stitches from being ripped out. The game was even longer drawn out than the morning contest going two and a half hours. The feature was the batting of L'Hereux who eopped out a single, sacrifice and three doubles in five times up. The box score tells its own story of why Putnam did mol win.

PURITY

The ingredients of the food you eat and give your children should be pure and healthful beyond any question.
 Various food officials and pure food experts have frequently endorsed Royal Baking Powder as being superior to all other simi- lar preparat ions, and many of the great chemists of the world, including most Of those of official position, have given like test timony.
 No other article of food has ever received such emphatic concentration for purity, strength and lesomeness, from the most eminent authorities, as Royal Baking Powder.
 Because Royal Baking Powder adds only hea1thful qualities to the food is one of the reasons why it is always preferred by teach CTS of cookery and the medical profession.

After waiting nearly half past four Manager Devine started his bunch putting Dubois in the box. Many of the crowd thought they were going to look upon q slaughter but as inning after inning went by and the heavy hitters from the Rubber city couldn't get to the Putnam youngsler the crowd began to sit up and take notice. It was fine game that Dubois pitched and he WIS going as good in the eight as he was when he started, if anything little better, but he was taken out in the ninth just to let the crowd get a line on sillery who arrived about the third inning.

1905.
The death rate of the District OF Co

Steady Decrease.
The death rate OF the District OF Co

for the registration area as a whole,
largely because OF the high rate among
the colored population.

there still Is shown q decided decrease,
amounting to 90 per cent. In other
words. in a typical community in the
registration area there were only ten
deaths in 1914 where there were elven
a decade earlier. In the original reg
istration states as they existed in 1901
1905, the population Of which is about
one-fourth OF the total for the United
states, the reduction IN the rate is
equivalent to q saving of about S,boc
lives in 1914. On the assumption that
a corresponding reduction IN the rate
had taken place throughout the entire
country. the saving would amount to
about 10000 lives in 1al! for the United
