EGAN SWAPS ROSS
FOR ROJAS OF JAYS
Musky TwirIer to Play with Waterloo
Z. While the Former eeanite
Returns

MUSCATINE. la, July 13-Mana-
ger Ned Fgan Of the Nuskies yester-
dav surprised the local baseball popu-
lace by trading Pitcher John Ross for
Rajos. the young right handler with
the Bluejays Ross left yesterday TO
Join his new boss and Rojas Is expect
ed to report here soon.
Although Ross has won the major
itv of his games this year, the trade
is one which IS expected to benefit
the Muskies. as Rojas. who was with
Egan at Galesbure last year and who
is considered a very promising young
ster, is capable OF holding his own
against the best clubs in the league II
given proper support. Due TO the fact
that the Bluejavs cannot boast OF a
strong lineup. either as strong de-
fensive squad or hitting aggregation.
Roias' record would not indicate that
he is the equal OF the Crooksville.
Ohio. speed artist However. in the
opinion of Manager Egan. the new
Muskv finger will prove a valuable
acquisition.
The Musky leader has no criticism
to make concerning the work Of Ross
other than to say that he considers
aoias a better man for the local
team.

HARRY THAW WILL
KNOW TOMORROW
jury Expected TO Have His Case This
Evening and Make Quick
Report

United Press Leased Wire Service.l
NEW YORK, July 13.-Harry K.
Thaw entered today on what he and
his attorneys considered the last day
of his nine year fight for freedom.
By night. they said. the matter OF
Thaw's sanity will be in the hands OF
the Jury from which they expect moth
ing but recommendation that the
slayer be liberated as a sane man.
The actual liberating of Thaw rests
with Justice Peter A. Hendrick, how
ever, as the jury can only recommend
what action is to be taken.
Thaw's counsel were jubilant when
court opened today. They had feared
more than anything else, it was ad-
mitted, the testimony of DR.. Austin
Flint, the states veteran alienfst. who
has figured so prominently in all the
prosecutions of Thaw. DR. Flint, they
cont.snded today, has proved one OF
the best witnesses for Thaw. especial
ly in his admission that Thaw has
shown no signs of paranoia during
the present trial and to one that does
not know the history of the case he
might appear to be now sane.
Thaw himself, was efated. He
laughingly admitted he had spent a
part of the night going over maps
and automobile advertisements in an
ticipation of his motor trip to Califor-
mia when freed.

Conduct on the Beach.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
CHICAGO, July 1S.-Coney Island
beaches may be uninteresting this
year. but Chicago's north shore de
cidedly is not. Despite set OF rules
as to cut of dress and to what you
can and can't do on the beach, the
lid is off and so is the most OF the
material
A stroll along north shore beaches
Sunday and yesterday when the first
real warm days filtered over Chicago
revealed some startling costumes
The predominant style was an affair
that was. skin tight and of one piece
until it reached below the hips where
a flimsy, ciinsing skirt flared out
Necks were cut low and there was
no sign of sleeve.
City fathers this year, beach cen
sors admitted today, laid more stress
on the conduct OF bathers rather
than on the suits. Here are some OF
the dont's:
Don't lie on the back on the sand
Don't lie with your head in your
girls lap.
Don't recline on the beach unless
supported by one elbow.
Don't lie on the beach on youi
stomach with elbows raised.

BASEBALL FANS
MEET TONIGHT
Club in Critical Financial Condition
at the Present Time and
Needs "upport of
Fans.
HAVE VALUABLE CLUB
Many Of Indian Players Should be
Sold or Drafted-Too vaIu-
able to Lose at This
Time.

baseball in Keokuk will reach an
other crisis at the meeting OF fans
to be held at 1880 this evening in the
superior court room. To the directors
there Is no question as to the attitude
OF the people here toward the base
ball club. Keokuk wants baseball
and the fans are more solid in their
support of the present team than they
have been in years.
But bad weather and other circum-
stances have kept the club in poor
financial condition since the very start
of the season The directors have
worked Loyalty and faithfully in the
interest of the club and probably
have worked harder this year than
ever before. But despite their efforts
the club is in critical condition. finan-
cially.
The problem now Is to arouse the
fans as to the condition of the clno
and make them aware of the danger
of losing the franchise. Those who
are In position to know. realize that
the directors have played their last
card In holding the club above water.
With strong support of the people Of
the city they could get through with
out great difficulty.
Everything depends upon the sue
cess of the meeting tonight Just
what action will be taken cannot be
told now, but the directors are con-
fldent that some method of holding
the franchise will be found if the fans
will turn out and offer their support
and their help.
With the team Boyle has at the
present time it would be most re-
grettable If it were necessary for
Keokuk to withdraw from the league.
No previous Keokuk team has ever
numbered SO many men Of promiss
The Indian pitching stan is the young

certain to be disposed OF for large
sum of money. Harvey is leading
the league in fielding at third and $
considered by Boyle a very valuable
man who has excellent chances Of be-
ing sold or drafted this fall. Le-
Beau. in center, is considered finish
ed fielder.
While 1t is not probable that all Of
these men will be sold or drafted this
year, the ones who are not sold this
year will form most valuable
nucleus for the team next season AMI
would stand still better chances OF
going I'D then. The question is, does
Keokuk want to lose this club: VIII

will be decided upon tonight at the
meeting.

Both Are Blamed.

If the union resorted to unfair and
unlawful methods in the prosecution of
the fight, the erectors were in a de-
gree responsible. The system of es-
pionage which they maintained in To-
cal unions, before and after the out
break of hostilities, did much toward
creating and preserving the spirit of
hostility which made the destruction of
property possible.
That the employers had paid spies in
the union does not admit of doubt. That
the system bred suspicion among the
members of the union and hatred of
their employers, is equally certain.
Organization raised the wages of
structural ironworkers almost so per
cent in fifteen years. 1t was natural
that they should rally to the support of
that union when they believed that its
existence was threatened.
The employment of spies by the en-
ployers was as indefensible as was the
resort to dynamite and the destruction
of property by the ironW orkers, al

vent a recurrence of violence, but it
will not remove the cause. Fear of the
law will not re-establish amicable re-
lations between the companies and the
union. Only the recognition by each
side of the rights of the other can ac-
complish that, and both sides must
agree on what those rights are and
define them by mutual consent.

for the fiscal year 1913 was $47,000,000.
The Postmaster General now proposes
to provide a modernized and a much
larger service during the fiscal year
1917 for just 100000 more than the
cost of the old service four years be-
fore. He proposes to do this, notwith-
standing the following additional
charges in the meantime placed against
rural delivery: Increased pay of car.

This is possible because of more eff
cient operation secured by revision of
routes, which eliminate Implications of
travel and unnecessary 'retraces' by
rural carriers, and because of the econ
