 Mr. Taft had not been scheduled to speak at the afternoon session, but yield ed to demands from the audience that he do so.
 JGdge Alton B. Parker responded to similar appeals.
 Judge Parker made an attack on the United States Senate, which he said, had nullified previous attempts al treaty making which would have Insured the United States against war with Great Britain or France. He declared that the opinion of the American people must be so decidedly molded that when the time comes for an international agree ment the United States will be certain to be signatory the Senate notwithstand- ing.

COMMIT IEE FAY0RS TIE ABOLITION OF
 } NORMAL SCHOOLS
Will Recommend That Leg islature Take Such Action in Hopes of Saving
 Money for State
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery. May F. Especial .)-Thres state normal schools will be abolished f the legislature follows the unanimous rec onmendation of the legislative investigat- ing committee, according to statements made today by several members of that committees
 But not only must three normal schools be abolished. but district agricultural maintain high schools--that is, if tue leg islature acts favorably upon the commit tees recommendation.
 The abolition of normal and agricul- tural schools is but a small part of the scheme by which the Investigating com mittee hopes to save the state money, for the committees report will contain recommendations looking to an annual curtailment of expenses of something over half a million dollars In other words, the committee seems determined to cut the disbursements below the receipts. and schools, state departments, appropT1a- tons and salaries will be shaved down until the revenues shall exceed the ex- penditures.
 Committee United
 Regarding the abolition of three of the normal schools, the whole committee is Tnited. The committees report will no, speclfy which of these schools should De abolished.
 It is probable that the committee will recommend the creation of a separate in- surance department according to Senator Bonner. The committee has given con- sidera ble thought to the proposition to establish an insurance department, ana Senator Bonner thinks the report will contain this recommendation.
 The committee has not decided what recommendation it will make regarding the highway department. It seems to be the united opinion of the members of th2 committee that this department is doing a splendid work and that it would be unwise to impair its efficiency by ma ttrially reducing its appropriation. Prob ably the committee will recommend that the receipts from the sale of motor vehicle licenses be turned over to the department. though no agreement has yet been reached regarding the highway department.
 Collecting Data The committee is now collecting, as- simiatng and digesting the data and in- formation collected by it during the months of it's investigation. No work has yet been done on it's report which will he presented to the legislature, but the committee is preparing to write its report. Probably within the next 10 days or two weeks that important document will have been finished.

Children Murdered

At Haescht several children had been murdered. one of ? or 3 years old was found nailed to the door of farmhouse by it's hand and feet a crime which seems almost incredible, but the evidence for which we feel bound to accept h the garden of this house was the body of a girl who had been shot in the fore head.

 The massacre of civilians at Louvain was not confined to it's citizens.

cfted1y indie ating with his hands Just
how far the diminutive second base
man had missed him with the ball.
1t proved that Schultz was anxious
to put himself in a position to score,
and that he would not idly take what
ever was handed to him. Just how
much this steal meant developed
when Zim stung single, and Frank
counted.
incidentally, that third inning
brought out some good baseball on
the part of the Cubs. Two were out
before anything started. Then
Fisher singled and stole second.
Schultz repeated the performance,
and Tim stuck in another single and
steal The locals discovered that
Catcher Glenn did not have the range
of the kestone, and prof1ted. They
were quick to take advantage of the
weakness of the opposition, and
teams which can do that win games
that would ordinarily go the wrong
way.
Lavender pitched excelIently, with
more confidence than he displayed at
any time last season. Goods homer
was a beautiful line drive which dent
ed the tin sign in right field.
Reb Russell in his first real start OF
the season was not the air-tight
southpaw he was in 1913, but he was
so much better than the Russell of
1914 that no despair need be felt by
South Side fans. Eight hits were reg
istered on him in seven innings, when
he was lifted. Cicotte finished the
game and was hit for two runs, one
of which Russell had put on to bloom.
In the first six innings Russell
pitched some fine baseball. He had
speed, a good curve and better con-
troll than the ordinary southpaw. In
a couple of weeks he will be ready to
stand beside the right-handed stars
and bear his share of the burden.
