 CINCINNATI. Nov. 9. August Hermann, chairman of the national baseball commission today issued q statement replying to a request by David Fultz. president of the Base ball Players Fraternity, that some players contracts be changed to pre- vent players injured in the services of a club being suspended uncom- pensated during their illness MT. Herrmann's statement says, in part:
 This request on the part of MT. F'ultz, in my judgment, is wholly un- warranted and uncalled for and creates a false impression in the minds of the baseball public. to-wit. that they may be given to under stand that the practice now is that players injured in the service of d club, after a certain period, may be suspended without compensation Iris is not a fact. and the commits sion has at all times ruled that a player must be compensated when in jured in the service of a club, re- gardless of the length of the period of his injury, or else be given his release after a certain period"

the Rice & Wortham carnival are the most attractive and cleverest acquatic performers appearing before the Amer ican public.
 The water carnival will be the first attraction of it's kind ever shown in Ari zona and it is expected that it will be one of the biggest drawing cards ever offered at the State Fair. This will be the first time similar attraction has ever been exhibited in the entire southwest as the Wortham shows have been exhibiting in the east except this year when they made special trip to California to exhibit at the San Diego exposition.

Skull Fractured and Died In
stantly-Two Companions Not
Dangerously Injured

Madison, Me-, Aug. 15.-tSpeciaD.-
Emile Brassard was killed this after
noon by the northbound passenger
train over the Kineo short line at the
Arson railroad crossing. Brassard,
Cony Loring and Louis LeClare were
driving on the River road toward
North Arson. Brassard, who was hold
ing the reins, attempted to cross the
track just ahead Of the engine which
struck the headquarters of the horse.
The three men were thrown to the rail-
road station platform. Brassard died
almost instantly from a fractured skull
Loring and LeClare were stunned but
LeClare escaped with a few bruises
and was able to walk home. Loring
sustained a severe cut in the forehead
but SO far as can be ascertained at the
present time probably escaped serious
injuries. The wagon was carried dis
tance of several rods on the cowcatch-
er and the horse was so badly hurt
that it was shot.
DR.. w. S. Sawyer, county medical
examiner, was called but deemed an
inquest unnecessary. Several persons
standing on the station platform mar
rowly escaped being hit by the men
and the debris.
The dead man was a lumberman
employed at Dead River, and was aged
about so years. 1t is understood that he
has two sisters in Massachusetts,.

is conceded that the efforts Of the AL

have probably not ended. This belief
was confidently expressed literally
dozens of times to an Associated

days trip along the front from point
not far southeast Of Peronne.
Fear Another Month
The least optimistic expressed the
belief that they might have to reckon
with about one more month Of the
terrific fighting. The more optimistic
think the offensive is already over. All
agreed that any appreciate future ad-

their advance on the Carso plateau and
Rome reports the capture of several
sections of the Austrians' positions and
the taking Of mere than 1900 prisoners.
Unofficial dispatches from Italian
sources claim that Gen. Cadorna is
now within 10 miles of Triest and that
the Austrian fleet has left the harbor.
The Austrian official statement re-
ports the repulse of Italian attacks in
the Vipacco valley, about Is miles east
Of Gorilla, but the official statements
from both sides are meagre and leave
the general situation vague.
Press dispatches from Geneva and Paris
declare that Tolmino. considered one of
the most formidable barriers between the
Italians and Triest. is being evacuated
by the Austrians and that the Italians
are already in the suburbs of the town.
The Germans admit that the British
have obtained foothold in their trench
es on the Thiepval-Pozieres front, and re-
port the repulse of violent attacks by the
British and French in other sectors of
the Somme line. according to both Paris
and London the day passed without any
event of significance.
Another report of fighting on the
Balkan front comes from the Berlin
war Office which states that small
engagement occurred south Of Lake
Dorian. There have been several re-
ports Of fighting in this theatre re-
Gently and all have come from Ger
man or Bulgarian sources. AS on pre-

fighting was Of small Importance and
resulted in a repulse for the Allies.

SUSPENSION
0F ORDERS TO
MOVE TROOPS
TO THE FRONT
Threatened r ailr0a d
Strike Holds Up Send
ing Of $4,000 Men to
Augment Forces on
Mexican Border

Warrington, Aug. 15.-Orders for the
remaining modified units of the Nation
., Guard to proceed to the border have
b..n suspended by the war department.
M Official explanation has been made but
/. ia known that the delicacy OF the rail-
mad strike situation has been the NOV
ing considerations
The suspension OF the orders to the
,roops which would have moved some
mM0 men to the border, had not been
taken as an indication that the Presi-
DENTS negotiations with the railroad
bro,herhoods and the railroad managers
have taken an unfavorable turn. but is
A measure of caution. 1t was considered
highly undesirable that all the remaining
suardsmen should be moved to the bor-
der while there was possibility Of a
railroad strike In which they might be
called upon to preserve order throughout
some of the states. There Is even the
possibility that some Of the troops In the
event of strike might be called upon to
rnard or operate mail trains and trains
supply,ng the troops already on the bor-
der
The suspension Of the orders prevents
the immediate movement Of the troops
from Kentucky. Ohio and Vermont and
tho movement of all other modified units
which we're to have gone forward as soon
as they were equipped.
Some OF the Kentucky. Ohio and YER
mont troops were about ready to go to
the border.
1t is clear that the suspension Is not
a revocation Of the orders and that If the
railroad strike situation clears up the
troops will be moved to the border
The official explanation of the change at
the war department is that difficulties of
transportation and equipment suddenly
developed have made it necessary. 1t Is
known, however, that the railway situa-
ton Is the real cause.
