Nezperce Plays League Ball.

One of the finest exhibitions oi
base ball that ever brou hit cheers
from the most exacting prairie fans
was put up by the Nezperce team at
| Grangeville on Monday afternoon
the opening day of the big three
days celebration at the prairie me-
tropolis = when our boys put it all
over the Kamiah Indians, with a
score of to /; thus winning the
first of series of three games,
which entitled them to contest for
the prairie championship with the
winners of the second days game, to
be played between the Grangeville
and Ilo-Vollmer mines. Grangeville
won Tuesdays game from Ilo-Voll-
mer, with a score of to l, and
Wednesdays game for the cham
pionship was postponed until Sunday
on account or rain, On sunday the
Nezpercers will 60 to Grangeville
and make the try for this champion
ship. And if the locals show the
form they did in Mondays battle
Grangeville's chances for the final
honors are certainly slim.
On Monday every man on the
Nezperce team played ball all the
time, Medved, the big second-base-
man, carrying off the honors for
batting, and Robertson, center fielder
for fast work in the field. The UNI
pireiog by Gaddis of Pullman was
fawless and very satisfactory to
both sides.

GERMAN REPLY DOES
NOT EXACTLY SUIT
The Draft Cannot. Under Its Present
Construction be Accepted as Meet
ing Expected Requirements.

ing Expected Requirements.
Washington, July Germany
has submitted informally to the u
S. through Ambassador Gerard in
Berlin, tentative draft of its reply
to the note of June which asked
for assurances that American rights
on the high seas would not be fur
ther violated by German submarine
commanders.
After careful examination of the
contents of the note as outlined by
Ambassador Gerard. which coin
cides with Berlin press dispatches of
the last few days, high officials are
practically agreed that the United
States cannot without sacrificing
important neutral rights express its
approval of the German proposals in
their present form.
The draft was shown to Ambassa-
dor Gerard with the idea of elicit
ing from him an expression of opin
ion, and he promptly asked for in
structions from Washington as to
whether the United States could
male concess;nns
President Wilson has been ad-
vised of the situation in several long
messages, sent to his summer resi-
dence at Cornish, N. H., and the
impression obtained from reliable
quarters was that the American gov
ernment probably would instruct its
ambassador within day or two to
decline to express any view until aft
er the formal reply is delivered to
him.
Just what Germany proposes has
not been officially divulged. Secre-
tary Lansing today took the position
that it would not be proper for him
to disclose Germany's position as in
formally reported by Mr.. Gerard
without authorization from the Berlin
government. He stated merely that
there had been no exchange of views
or informal negotiations between
Germany and United States From
Berlin dispatches it is learned, how
ever that the note as drafted by the
foreign cffice with Emperor Williams
subsequent approval, would give as
surances that Americans might travel
with safety on the high seas on GER
tain conditions imposed by Germany
such as the marking of beligerent
vessels carrying Americans, notifica-
ton by the United States of the date
of the departure and character of
such vessels and an inspection in
suring the non- carriage of munitions
of war.
President Wilson has before him
the views of several cabinet officers.
some of whom believe that it is es-
sential to have Ambassador Gerard
make clear to the German foreign
Office that the United States can
make no concessions from its posi-
tion as based on the accepted rules
of International Law and the naval
prize codes of civilized nations.
Whether the president does or does
not finally decide to have Ambassa-
dor Gerard tell the German govern
ment informally the views of the
United States on tbs rough draft sub
mitted. it was clearly apparent today

MORGAN'S ASSAILANT
COMMITS SUICIDE
Frank Holt Shot J. P. Morgan Twice
Last Saturday Took Own Life Tues
day---Morgan is Improving.

Mineola, N. Y, July Crank
Holt, the Cornell university profes-
sor who shot J. P. Morgan in his
home near Glen Cove last Saturday,
committed suicide in the Jail here to-
night.
Jail authorities declared that Holt
killed himself by climbing through
the opening at the top of his cell
door and then plunging into the mar
row court below.
There are many COZ flicting reports
as to the manner in which Holt met
his death, but it was definitely es-
tablished through Dr.. Cleghorn, he
jail physician, that Holt died ef
fractured skull.
New York, July 81. P. Morgan
was shot twice by an unidentified !.
man while at his country home at
Matinicook Point, near Glencove, L.
/, at 9 O'Clock this morning. Two
bullets were fired. One glanced from
breast into the arm, and the other
entered the hip, according to early
reports. The wounds are not seri-
Gus. The assailant was caught and
taken to the court house at Mineola
where he said he was willing to give
up his life at any time to end the
war. 1t was added by the sheriff's
office that the man declared Morgan
was responsible for the war, for
shipping arms abroad and that he
could stor the conflict if he wished
to do so.
Morgan's assailant later gave the
name of Frank Holt and said he was
instructor in German at Cornell uni
versity. Morgan apparently does
not consider himself seriously wound
ed. He answered the telephone and
said he did not think his wounds
amounted to very much.
Glen Cove, N. Y, July Mrs.
] P. Morgan and the Morgan child
rem were to be held as hostages in
their own home and kille d with dyn-
amite if Morgan did not use his in
fuence to stop the expectation of war
Frank Holt, who yester-
day attempted to assassinate Mr..
Morgan at his home near here, told
Police Commissioned Arthur Woods.
Holt said his plans miscarried
that he planned to send Mr.. Morgan
out to stop the expectation of muni-
tions while he held the other members
of the family tn an upstairs room.
Mr.. Morgan, the victim of the bull
lets which Holt fired, continued to
show improvement today.
Late tonight it was said that the
fnancier was resting we'll, that he
had slept all the afternoon. No re-
ference was made to the other bullet,
which was said yesterday to have
come out of the upper part of the
leg.
