Another Plan TO
kidnap Harry ThaW
Spoiled by the Police

NEW YORK, April 22.-Au-
other plan to kidnap Harry Ken
dall ThaW from tEe authorities of
New York state by bundling him
into an automobile was disclosed
by an investigation made in Nor
folk, Va, by an agent of Sheriff
Grifenhagen of New York, aC-
cOrding to dispatch today from
Norfolk to the Tribune. The
scheme was frustrated, says the
dispatch, through letter written
to Frederick j. Groehl, assistant
district attorney here, by a former
resident of this city, who said he
was offered $1,000 to seize Thaw,
but refused because the money
was not forthcoming.
The attempt to kidnap ThaW
and get him outside the state,
preferably to Virginia, via New
Jersey, was to be made, the dis
patch says, during the hearing on
ThaW's case in this city today.
The man who gave the authorities
the information regarding the al
legged plot said he was approached
by a New York private detective
and asked to supply the automo-
bile, chauffeur and another man
who was to be the outside man,
while the detectives agreed to
look after four men who were to
seize Thaw and get him to the
car.
Mr.. Grochl's informant said
that he would be glad to tell him
more about the plot if he could
see him personally. This resulted
in the sheriff sending a represen-
tatiVe to Norfolk.

Better Live Up To Duty Than Have

II is not supremely important, how

If We try to live up to the rule of duty,
which is love, we shall be acceptable
to God whether we know anything
about him or not; and We shall not be
acceptable to him, no matter how cor

Theology may be the queen Of

the value and bearing Of which good
men may differ. II is noble study

Of the obligation of duty until it is
natural to do right and impossible TO
do wrong here is task, here IS pri-

Yet, as It appears to me, our pur-

That is his ruling quality.

Gives Them u Chance to Admire skill
and Learn the Latest Slang.

Baseball 5 the most dangerous
game known to history. When it
comes to mortality lists, baseball
leaves football a lap behind in a six
furlong race on a mile track. Statis-
ticians have figured it out that it is
43O times as destructive to human
life as a Mexican revolution, and al
most as deadly as Mexican chile. An
nually it kills off 50 many aunts,
unCles and grandparents that think
ing people wonder how the under
takers can stand the steady work. For
example, i'm the course of one thrill
ing pennant race cur office boy lost

For all that we love baseball Even
in spite of the grandstand humorsts,
we love it. 1t is our national game.
We feel that, since this country was

sires did not bleed and die in vain.
Men have much reason to love
baseball. 1t gives them the chance
to admire skill, speed. strength. nerve,
courage and determination, and to
learn the latest slang and the most
pepful reparee. 1t gives them the
chance to boldly abuse and insult
other men without fear Of conse-
QuenCes and to exhibit their wit be-
fore large crowds It gives them the
chance to set up real heroes and bow
down to them. Statesmen are cor
rupt, generals fight from their tents,
