October of this year will be a red letter day in the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana. It is the sixty-sixth anniversary of the birth of James Whitcomb Riley, the poet, and there will be great doings. Here's what the New York Times says editOrially about the coming mo- mentous day: What will they say now-those critics of the American people who have, some of them, la mented and other rather exulted over, our misrepresentation of the literary man as a national asset and object of re- spect? The importance ascribed to d 'Annunzio and his work by the Italians of all ranks has been re- peatedly instanced of late as indica- tive of their possession of an aesthetic intelligence and sensitiveness utterly or almost lacking among comparative barbarians like ourselves, and the no- tion that we, too, could take mere poet otherwise than as an amiable trifler would doubtless have been treated with disdainful laughter if ever entered the minds of, these critics-which, of course, it didn't. Ket Samuel M. Ralston, who, as he has been raised to the high office of group of American citizens, represents, it can fairly be assumed, the ideas and Judgment of that group, has just set his hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Indiana

James F. J. Archibald was here in the spring, trying to fill the lecture shoes of Irwin Cobb, and good many who took note of him suspected him, His alleged lecture was as viciously pro-German as Cobb's was notably neutral, and he gave an inter- view to the Yale News for the follow Ing day which was worse. There was apparently some reason to wonder fow, if he thus colored his war cor respondence, 1t could be of great value to any Am erican newspaper,

 Chicago, Sept. -(NationaD "A list light between Smith, third base man. of the Boston Braves, and Um- plre Byron marked the final game of the*year between Chicago and Boston yesterday. Chicago won the contest, . to o.
 ,1 At the conclusion of the game, Smith rush ed up to Umpire Byron and the arbiter walked to meet him. Both exchanged words and Byron lodged around several of those who had gathered about the two and made lunge at Smith. He apparently made two swings at him and was rushing his man when big Ball James, the Boston pitcher, put his arms about the umpire and lifted him to one side.
 Smith came back with his arms Swinging wildly and Umpire Orth att tempted to stop him. Smith was in furated and seemed about to hit Orth, when his teammates stepped in to the fray and escorted Smith to the clubhouse. The umpire then walked to the dressing room. Several hun- dred of the fans who witnessed the clash, cheered Byron.
 Umpire Byron refused to comment on the battle, merely stating that he would make his report to the presi- dent of the league. However, several of those who were close to the par ticipants said that Smith was rid ing, Byron because of his decision on balls and strikes and that the two had engaged in strong personalities prior to their coming together. News of President Teners decision on the arbiter's report is eagerly awaited about baseball headquarters here. The Braves have a fighting chance for the National League pen nant and already have three of their regulars out of the lineup. These are Schmidt, Maranville and Snod- grass.

The stockholders of the Carson Val
ley Hay and Produce company held
meeting at Minden Tuesday and dis
oussed the feasibility of diversified
crops as a means OF reducing the
large acreage of alfalfa In this Val
ley. The discussion of this step has
been brought about by the extreme
low price of baled alfalfa hay in the
Nevada markets. 1t has been sug-
gested that a large acreage be devoted
TO the production of potatoes and
other crops of like nature, raising
only enough alfalfa hay TO supply the
local demands of dairying and stock
raising.

CONTROL LIVE STOCK
Measure to Place Dealers Under Pub
lie Utilities Commission. go

Representative Mahurin of Coffey
county today introduced in the house
a bill placing live stock commission
merchants under control of the public
utilities commission. Mahurin also
proposes material reductions in the
commissions allowed under the state
laws.
If the Mahurin measure finds q
place in the statute books. every live
stocw commission agent will be d.
rectly under the jurisdiction and SUI
pervision of the public utilities com
mission and for the purposes of the
act will be regarded as q public serv-
ice corporation.
Then Mahurin proceeds to provide a
20 per cent reduction in rates which
may be collected by live stock COM
mission agents under the terms of the
state law. At present. a commission
firm may collect SO cents a head or
SIS car for selling cattle. Mahurin's
bill allows $12 car in commissions.
The commission for selling hogs would
be reduced from $40 to So and the
commission on mixed cars Of stock
from SIS to $14
