III Pursuance OF This Policy, Ac-
QUESTION of Which Prosecution Re-
gins To Establish One by One.

NEW YORK. November l5.-Charlcs
;. Mellen, former president of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford Rail
road. to-day assumed the responsible
ity for the New IIavcn's policy of ,r-
curing New England trolley lines
which the government in the trial of
the eleven former directors of the road
charges was part of the New
iiavcn's alleged plan to monopolize
commerce
Mr.. Mellen testified that in 1901 he
urged on the board tile necessity of n
comprehensive plan of acquisition of
trolley properties or else to drop the
lines il had acquired.
y told my directors time and again"
lie said. that the road ought to supply
the public With its needs. and that

conditionally. however, as Judge Iough
said that where the trolley lines wcro
shown TO have operated within the
borders OF u single State he doubted
that their acquisition was necessarily
Il violation OF the Sherman law. which
applies 10 Interstate commerce.
When the days session adjourned
the prosecution had touched upon less
than a dozen OF the siXty-fvc lines.
and the defense protested over the
length OF time the government was
takin. in presenting It's case.

LOVE LINKED WITH DEATH.
Where Women Propose and if Reject
ed Must Kill Themselves.


In the Pacific ocean, between Fiji,
New Guinea, New Caledonia and the
continent of Australia, lies the Melane
sian group of islands. where head hunt
ers and cannibals abound. Strange
and grewsome as are many of the GUS
are most romantic For instance, on
the island of Tucopia the women pro-
pose marriage instead of the men.
When a girl of Tucopia sees q man
whom she thinks she would like to
have for her husband she does not
rush up to him and ask him to marry
her. On the contrary, she gives the
subject deep thought and often the
man a most careful investigation be-
fore she pops the question" The rea-
son is that his answer spells life or
death to her
1t is tribal law that any woman
who has been refused must forthwith
kill herself. Therefore a woman asks
mans hand only when she feels
sure that his answer will be the hap
py one.
Many are the strange and seemingly
inexplicable questions with which the
women Of Tucopia ply the stranger
who cannot realize the personal mo-
tive back of the solicitude of the dusky
bellies who inquire If he is married or
not and the state of his wife's health.
Romances are consequently very apt
to turn out in happy marriage.
But there have been innumerable in
stances when a poor girl, smitten by
the newcomers charms, has been COM
PEELED to kill herself because the man
with whom she has fallen in love has
had to refuse to marry her.
Badness with the women of Tucopia
is a sign of beauty, and never until
she is bald does Tucopia woman be-
come fully convinced that she is really
lovely.
But bald or not, she takes great
care whom she asks to marry her, for
the tribal law has never been known
to fail. If rejected woman does not
kill herself she is executed under the
most dishonorable conditions by the
leaders of the tribe.-Buffalo News.

Don't think because some union
haters say such mean things about
a business representative CT a labor
union that wha. they say is true.
Walking delegates and labor agi-
tators as they cali them are crooks,
grafters and all sorts of other
things too numerous mention.
This method has been used SO long
to discourage Uorkiugmen by ele
mics of organized labor, that it has
very little effect at present. The
business repres- -ntative of labor
has he same labor 10
per form that a representative or
salesman does for man
concern.

ESSENTIALS OF PITCHING.
First Comes Control, Then knowledge
of Batter,s Weakness.

OF a Batters Weakness.
Control is the thing" say all the
great pitchers, and all the great pitch
ers agree that study of the batsman
is next in Importance There are GER
tain batters who can punish certain
kinds of balls, while against a differ
ent style of pitching they are CORE
spondingly weak. If a batter likes
fast ball at the waist line it becomes
the duty of the wise pitcher never to
give him a ball to his liking. Perhaps
he is weak on a curve ball at the knee
on the outside. The foxy pitcher
makes a speciality of offering him that
kind OF delivery In abundance. In de-
Gliding what is best to pitch to the va
rious batters a brainy catcher Is of
wonderful assistance.
Then, too, the pitcher must study
situations. When he divines that a
sacrifice is the play it is usually the
best plan to keep the ball high. Such
a ball Is harder to meet squarely,
while 1t is almost impossible to give it
definite direction. On low ball the
skillful bunter can usually place it to-
ward first or third. as is desired For
batters who have a tendency to pull
away pitchers usually keep the bah on
the outside, mostly depending on the
curve Seldom do batters who pull
meet such balls squarely. As a rule
they hit fast balls on the inside hard.
The batter who hugs the plate closely
and steps into the ball is bothered most
by fast ball on the inside. as 1t has
tendency to make him meet the ball
on the handle, thereby losing most Of
the force he puts into the swing.
The pitcher must also take into con-
sideration the position of his infield
and must know who is covering the
base on throw, so that he may pitch
TO aid his infelders.-Biny Evans In
