Feast tradition to the wind and won
handsome victory from its old rival,
Hebron Academy by the score of s to
10, in the Colby Junior Championship
League. Fielding almost faultlessly and
rounding up 10 nice bingles from Hall,
Hebron's southpaw, who began to
weaken in the sixth, the Waterville
boys tucked a well-earned victory I'M
der their arms and celebrated in due
style.
McPhee struck out II men and allow
ed but five hits to the academy men,
who were reputed to be mighty with
the stick. Coburn's first run came in
the second inning. Kolseth was PASSED
by Hall. O,Brien hit to the infield, and
Kolseth was thrown out at second on
fielder's choice. Lord singled and
O'Bricn, after stealing second, was able
to reach the plate. An error, base on
balls and good swat by McPhee sent
Kewer and Kolseth across in the sixth.
More errors in the seventh and eighth
enabled the Coburn boys to run across
five more, enough to put the game
easily in their hands. Hebron tried
hard to come back, but could not con-
meet successfully with McPhee's shoots.
Had not Ham stayed at the plate
after Ashworth dropped the third
strike, Moore's coming across the plate
in the second would have given the
visitors a tally. He reached the plate
safely, but the run was declared void
because the batter did not start for
first.
Coburn's victory gives her fine
chance to win the pennant Saturday

WILL PROTEST
8 lives LOST
ON LUSiTANIA

Berne, Switzerland, May 21.-(via Paris,
1120 A. M).-The Swiss federal authori-
ties have decided to make suitable repre-
sensations to Germany on the sinking,
May Z, of the Cunard Line steamer Lusi-
tania bv German submarine as result
of which three Swiss citizens lost their
lives.
The government is awaiting knowledge
of the German reply to the Washington
note on this subject, so as to be the bet
ter able to choose wise coure of pro-
cedure.
The Swiss think well of President Will
sons note, but to most newspapers it
appears to be hardly strong enough.
The argument is being made here by
Swiss observers that the Swiss repre-
sensations will have great weight, be-
cause behind them there will be the
Swiss army. 100000 strong.

In the second inning, johnson of Hig-

that Higgins made off Ludwig. The

the witness to intercede for Lawson
and get him new trial.
Were 1 either directly or indirectly
to attempt to influence the judiciary Of
Colorado as respects the present ap-
peal OF Mr.. Lawson's trial." said the
statement, Il should be guilty of the
very procedure and which l myself
have no less strongly condemned, and
hope the chairman Of the commission
will not expect from me replies to any
questions which imply that 1 believe
others have been guilty Of unlawful or
improper acts in the administration Of
justice or that I entertain a position
superior to that Of any citizen of the
country before the law or toward its
administration"
Chairman Walsh made no comment
on the statement and proceeded vigor-
ously with his examination Of the wit
ness. The questioning covered a wide
range of subjects, strike violence, re-
sponsibility Of officials, political inf1u-
ence and correspondence relating to the
strike. AS to violence. Mr.. Rockefeller
said that where constituted authority
failed to protect life and property, the
citizen was justified in using force for
his own protection.
In response to questions regarding re-
sponsibility for violence and use Of mill
tary force during the strike, he declared
that the conduct Of measures against the
strike had been left to officers of the coal
companies and that he personally could
not pass upon the necessity for the use
of force.
But suppose you yourself had to de-
eide the question:" demanded Chairman
Walsh.
II believe 1t is always proper to defend
life and property" the witness replied.
IF the constituted authorities fail to
do SO. you would protect your life and
property yourself?'
Yes"
And you would use force?"
Eyes. all the force necessary to pro-
tect my life and property. think any,
one would do that"
Mr.. Rockefeller reiterated his belief in
the right Of labor to organize, asserting
that he believed in It as firmly as he did
that capital should organize.
