GREAT QUARTETTE WILL
 REPRESENT AMERICA
Loomis, Meredith, Murray and Sin1p-
 son to Visit Europe.

America will send four of her great est present-day athletes abroad to dis play their athletic ability when Ted Meredith of the Badowbrook Club, of Philadelphia; Fred S. Murray. late of the Olympic club and Leland Stanford university, of California; Robert Simp- son, of the University of Missouri, and Joe G. Loomis, the greyhound of the Chicago Athletic Association, sail away on the famous Ford peace ship Oscar II. on Sept. 2S.
 The team will visit three countries, Norway, Denmark and Sweden, where the best athletes of the respective countries will be pitted against them. However, the Americans all-around prowess is expected to bring them home victors in many of the events. Simpson, Murray and Loomis compose three of the best hurdle racers in the country, while Meredith's performances over middle distances are well known throu ghout. the world
 Original plans called for the sending g of three athletes to Stockholm, Swe- den. to compete in a special set of games arranged in their honor. It was especially requested that Meredith be named as a member, along with dis tance runner and an all-around com- petitor. However, Frederick s. Rubien, eCretary-treasurer of the Amateur Athletic Union, who was asked to se- lect the men, found it impossible to get Jote Ray, the best of the distance men in this counery. to make the trip. The suggestion was then made that two athletes be sent in his stead and the foreign sportsmen readily consent ed. Simpson and Murray were chosen from half dozen applicants.
 Arriving at Christiania on October t2, the athletes will have little rest be- fore they are called on to meet their first rivals. The next stopping place will be at Copenhagen, Denmark, the following day. They then depart for Stockholm, Sweden, where, on Oct 21, the most important meet of their itin- erary is scheduled.
 The most versatile members of the American team are Murray and Loom- Is. The latter astoundeG athletic fans ln 1914 by winning three national

Boston, Sept. 27.-Boston celebrated it's homecoming from a successful western trip with a 10-inning victory ovcS New York by a score of to 2 today. Shore, after holding the visit ors helpless for eight innings, weak ened in the ninth and New York tied the score before Mays went into the box and checked the rally.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MAINTAINS ACTIVITY Dealings Were Mostly in Dividend
 Paying Issues.

New York, Sept. 27.-For the nine teenth consecutive session, exclusive of two week-ends. today's market experienced another period of excess sive activity which again lifted the to- tai dealings well beyond a million shares. The movement was more comprehensive and convincing than any of the past three weeks, in that a very large proportion of the turn over consisted of dividend paying in vestment issues, as distinguished from specialties of less stable character.
 The so-called Harrimans, particu- larIy Union Pacific, which led all stocks in the extensive trading of the forenoon, Reading, Norfolk and Vest ern and other coalers, the grangerS, New York Central and Pennsylvania, afforded a foundation for later opera tions in more speculative favorites. Most of the rails, on gains of one to three points, were at best prices in one to two years, with an actual new record for Reading at 115 l-2.
 Coppers lost none Of their favor as mediums of feverish speculation, In spiration making a new maximum at 6S 3-S, with further accumulation of Anaconda, American Smeiting and Kennecott. Motor shares. which seem to respond to any definite movement in metals, were mostly at higher quo- tations, General Motors making a gross gain of 15 points.
 There was a marked revival of in- terest in shipping shares, predicated upon the belief that events of import ance are impending in connection witt the forthcoming meeting of the Mer- cantile Marine committees. which are expected to recommend the discharge of the receiver. Sugtrs trailed in the wake of marines, record prices being registered by Cuba Cane common anC referred and American Beet.

Murray proved his mettle at the intercollegiate championship games held in the Harvard Stadium this year, when he captured both the l20-yard high and 220yard low hur- dle races.

Manager Bob Byrnes of the Acad- emy football team has secured the Taftville A. c. for the opening game Saturday on the campus.
 The Indians have returned Bob Cole man, catcher. to the Columbus club of the American association. It appears he was taken on trial only, and the deal was officially cancelled some time ago, though Columbus remained with the Indians until recently.

HIGH COURT HOLDS
OPTION Law VALID
Supreme Court Rejects ''Home
Rule" Objections Raised at
international Falls

Morris, Moorhead, Crookston and
other cities in Minnesota having home
rule charters and located in counties
where the drys won in the recent
county option contests, will have tC
wait three years before the matter OF
granting saloon licenses can be taken
up. The county option law, passed
by the last Legislature, was held con-
stitutional by the state supreme court
in an opinion handed down last Fri
day. The case came up on appeal
from Koochiching county where the
act was attacked by the city of Inter
national Falls.
After the county option election
held in the county the city of Inter
national Falls proceeded to issue Ii
censes to sell liquor despite the fact
that the county was voted dry. The
city authorities contended that they
were protected by home rule charter
which was immune from any attack
on the part of the state legislature.
The best legal talent in North Dakota
and northern Minnesota appeared for
the DIRECTORS.
In its opinion last Friday the
supreme court makes the point that
the county option law does not in
fringe the rights granted by the con-
stitution to cities operating under So
called home rule charters. 1t further
holds that the county option act is
proper exercise of the states police
power. The decision removes the
last chance home rule cities had OF
evading or knocking out the county
option law.
At the same time the court handed
down it's opinion declaring Redwood
county to be dry territory. Liquor
was voted out in that county but the
majority in favor of the drys was pro-
tested on the ground of defective bal
lots. The court holds that Redwood
county was made dry by a majority
of four votes.

Voss Has a Loss

Twenty-Five hundred negatives and
a large amount of Photographic sup
plies were destroyed at the Voss studio
last week when water seeping through
the roof caused an estimated loss OF
81 500. Mr.. Voss carried no insur-
ance against loss by water and suffers
a severe reverse as consequence.
Heavy snow on the roof melted
when hot air from the rooms below
rushed through the open trap door in
the hall leading to the roof. Some
body had failed to close the door and
it remained open all Saturday night
and Sunday. When Mr.. Voss arrived
late Sunday afternoon his work room
was flooded and the negatives and
