Indications are that the International
League is going to have the cleverest
string of managers the coming season
that it has ever been able to boast of.
Pat Donovan proved his competency
last season when he won the pennant.
Tommy Leach will have charge of the
Rochester team. and the former Pitts
burgh star is pretty certain to show q
lot of ability. Jack Dunn will handle
the Baltimore team. Joe Birmingham
is slated for Toronto. while Billy
will be in charge at Richmond. At
Montreal Dan Harley will be in charge.
and Dave Shean at Providence. Fred
Tenney will be at the helm in Newark,
Tenny is likely to prove quite an at
traction around the league and should
make a good man to work with Jim
Price, who will be at the head of the
club, representing H. Clay Smith of
rooter and warm friend OF Ban John
son and Charley Comiskey.
If Joe Wood could be signed at q
reasonable figure and be obtained at
the waiver price, either st. Louis or
Washington, both well supplied with
warm weather, might. be able to make
good use of him. The Boston climate
is not beneficial to a twirler with q
weak arm, while the warm. weather
prevailing here or in St. Louis might
prove just the sort that would help a
fellow like Wood, who can pitch only
few games and then has to pick his
days.
For Boston last year Smoky" Joe
pitched only eight full games, but in
a warmer climate he might be able to
do a lot of work and do 1t without
suffering any pain.

London, Aug. 23.-With no apparent

Allied offensive on the Saloniki front.
The latest dispatches, however, throw
little light on the situation, and the
Allied plans are somewhat obscured.
London reports that the Bulgarians
have advanced along the Struma val
ley, and have entrenched themselves
at various points. Berlin also reports
further advances for them on the
right wing, where they face the Ser
bians. Apparently, however, no &C

COURT UPHOLDS
MANS CLAIM ON
ADOPTED GIRLS
Edward w. Morrison, Multi Mil
lionaire, Named Father
of Chicago Girls.
HAD KNOWN THEM
ALL HIS LIFE
HAD KNOWN THEM
ALL HIS LIFE

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Edward w. Nor
rison, a multimillionaire recluse, was
named as the real father of two girls
he recently adopted in proceedings to-
day before Judge Lands of the Unit
ed States district court.
The accuser was Joseph Burnstein,
a junk dealer, and husband Of the
girls mother. His wife, he declared,
confessed to him on her deathbed
that Morrison was the father of the
girls. The millionaire, who is nearly
80 years old, denied the accusation.
His reason for adopting the girls, he
testified, was that their mother had
pleaded with him when taken i'll to
take care of them. He had known
them all their lives, he said, and was
fond of them. ..,r.
"Morrison attended my wife's fu-
neral with me in June" Burnstein
testified II told him of my wife's
confession. Morrison said: Very
we'll, I'll fix it up with you"
The action before Judge Lands
was a petition to appoint a receiver
for Morrison's property, which has
been variously estimated at from
s3OOO,0OO to $S,O0O,OOO. One conten-
ton was that Morrison had adopted
the two girls to prevent the city Of
Chicago from receiving the estate,
which under the will of his father
was to be used for educational pur-
poses, if Morrison died childless.
The two Burnstein girls are, Ina,
1S; Alice, 16. They had made their
home with Morrison since their adop-
tion, about a month ago.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The navy

The paymaster general, being i'm

set his forces to work to locate new
stores of coal and supplies and to
find means for sending them to some
point on the Roads at the earliest
possible moment. The problem re-
quires that actual supplies be found

ected on the Red Trail at Apple creek
at a cost which may exceed $4,000.
Road experts declare that by making
a detour of less than 1000 feet the
county commissioners could have
avoided the bridges and given the
public better road at an expense
which would have been only the cost
Of the right Of way.
Government engineers always re-
commend going around a.hil rather
than hauling it down, and going
around a creek, river or small lake
rather than going to the expense Of
erecting a bridge. They urge that
the road work be so planned out be-
fore any steps at improvement are
taken that as much of the money as
possible in the actual grading, gravel
ing or in other ways finishing of q
road bed.
,,- No Complaint.
For 20 years drivers on the nation
al highway have made the slight de-
tour around the creek and not made a
complaint. The land is high and the
road exceptionally good, better than
it is in any other section of the Bur-
leigh county stretch of the Red Trail
save that which the road gang has
worked this spring.
An avalanche of complaints have
been shot at the county commissioners
about the road through the Mckenzie
slough and other places where cul-
verts and grading are needed but
these have been ignored while the
money has been expended for purely
ornamental bridges. 2a g.;, .

Road users declare that they would
mt raise their voices against the con.
crete structures if the rest of the trail

ed they feel that the time has come
to call halt in the extravaganza and
waste of county funds.
