 On the opening of court motion by flenry Wolf of counsel for Barnes to stril1e out the evidence regarding printing, elicited from MT. Barnes on cross examination, was denied A motion that the jury be directed to find d verdict for the plaintiff was then made. This was based primarily on the grounds that no evidence in justification had been offered for va rious portions of alleged libelous ar tic,cs which the court held to be libel per SC. MT Wolf. called particular attention to that part of the article Hron which the suit was based in which Barnes name was linked with that of Charles Murphy of Tammany Hall, in which it was stated that Murphy was aided and abetted by Barnes.
 Justice Andrews in reply said he would restrict the jury's considera ton to two charges, the general charge that there was corrupt alliance be- tween Barnes and Murphy and that Barnes worked through an alliance between crooked business and crooked politics In regard ito the first charge the justice said the jury had a right to consider evidence in re-

We are willing to wager a small sum in postage stamps that the , to victory of Phoenix at Las Cruces yesterday came after one of the best baseball arguments the Rio Grande valley has seen for some time. The hurricane had subsided enough so that it made possible quite a little argument between E. P. McCreery and Samuel Peer, esquire.
 Now that Erwin G. Baker is over we can devote our attention to the Albuquerque-Ph Phoenix series, the Moose Motorcycle race and tho Fl Paso tournament of the Border States Tennis Association, all of which are very live sporting issues just now.

 The United States pointed out its objections generally to the present method, but officials explain the legal rights of the United States can only extend to the safety of Americans on belligerent ships.
 Officials explained that data con cerning the detention of American cargoes has not yet been completed, and that moreover, notes under pre- paration are not to be sent now tc the allies in any event because of the unWillingness on the part of the president to have the situation with Germany complicated by the Ameri can governments correspondence with Great Britain.

statement made by Manager Howard
G. Henry, of the Camden Eastern

Andy Sears, of the Reading team, had
approached Jackie Adams and James
Kane, official timekeeper, to have the
Eastern League race end in tie, Sears

O'Donnell was the only player who
wanted to go to Philadelphia and had
to be pulled off the train. Sears furth-

LANCASTER AGAIN?
Red Roses Not Satisfied With Drub-
bing By Independents

Sporting Editor, r-Independent.
The basketball fans down Lancas-
ter way are still of the opinion that
the Red Rose tossers have a better
claim to the basketball championship
of East Pennsylvania than the Inde-
pendents of Harrisburg. They base
their claim on the following:
Lancaster defeated the Independ-
ents at Lancaster by the score of SO
to 23.
The Independents defeated Lancas-
ter at Harrisburg, 40 to 81.
Total points scored by Lancaster in
the two games, 81.
Total points scored by Harrisburg
in the two games, SO.
Lancaster scored four points more
than Harrisburg in the two games.
In the game played in your city last
Saturday, Lancaster was minus Shaub,
a regular player who could not be pres
ent ON account of business. Shaub
has been the mainstay of the team all
season and his absence was handi-
cap to Lancaster.
The Lancaster boys are willing to
meet the Independents in third game
to decide the series. Will agree to play
the game on Harrisburg floor or any
other floor on condition that neutral
official referee the game and the re-
ceipts to be divided on a 60-40 basis.

FEW CHANGES ON MOVING DAY
Real Estate Agents Say 1915 Worst of
Many Years

Although to-day is annual moving
day, few changes took place in the
city, either among business firms or resi-
dents. Real estate agents say there will
he fewer changes among tenants this
spring than has been the case for. many
years.
Most of the changes will take place
among people who reside in houses that
rent for $40 to $12 per month. In
these it is claimed are tenants where
the salaries of the men are small and
who are preparing to move their fam
lilies to the country or houses of cheaper
rent. In all it is believed there will be
less than 100 of these families. ~
About the only business firms to
move is the Stieff Piano Company, from
"a to 212 North Second street, until
their new building which they Tlan to
erect on their present site is completed.
A. G. Troup and l.. A. Troup, owners of
the store ait 212 North Second street,
will discontinue business in this city
and devote their time to their store in
