SPEAKER JOINED IN LAUGH
"Unele Joe" Cannon Quick TO See Hu-
NOR OF Situation In Which He
Was Central Figure.

While campaigning in Iowa
Speaker Cannon was once inveigled
into visiting the public schools of a
town where he was billed to speak.
In one Of the lower grades an ambi-
tious teacher called upon a youthful
Demosthenes to entertain the dis
tinguished visitor with an exhibition
Of amateur oratory. The selection
attempted was Byron's "Battle Of
Waterloo" and just as the boy
reached the end Of the first stanza
Speaker Cannon gave vent to a vio-
lent sneeze. "But, hush bark !" de-
claimed the youngster; "a deep
sound strikes like rising knell! Did
ye not hear it?" .s.ps'
The visitors smiled and a moment
later the second sneeze-which the
Speaker was vainly trying to hold
back-came with increased violence.
'But bark ~ bawled the boy, chat
heavy sound breaks in once more,
and nearer, clearer, deadlier than
before! Arm! Arml 1t is-it is

This was too much, and the laugh
that broke from the party swelled to
a roar when Uncle Joe chuckled

Haytian Protectorate.

A possibility of future contact with
one or more of the European nations
exists in the assumption of protecto-
rate over Hayti by the United States.
This could not have been so easily
accomplished at any time except when
Europe was absorbed in war, and il
may cause some remonstrance in the
future from beyond the seas.
The treaty with Hayti, as ratified
by the Senate, provides that this
country will collect the revenue of
Hayti and administer its finances; al
so that the United States will police
the country with a native constabu-
larry officered by Americans. There
is an indefinite provision that the
American officers be replaced by ma
tives may become qualified, but it is
not known how that qualification may
be determined.
Several years ago, when the United
States found it necessary to land ma
rines in Hayti to restore order there,
German marines were also landed
and took equal part and responsibility
with the Americans in what was done.
That, of course, would not be allowed
under present conditions.
When the United States refused to
recognize one Sam, who had through
ASSASSINATION usurped the presidency
of Hayti, and would not allow him to
draw on a gold deposit of half mil
lion dollars, which had been placed
with a New York bank by the Haytian
government, France and Germany
both recognized him, and France Of
fered to loan him a million dollars,
despite the great necessity she has for
money in her own behalf. The con-
summation Of this proposition was
prevented by Haytian mob that in
vaded the French legation, where
Sam had taken refuge, and lynched
him in retaliation for his murder of
100 prominent citizens, whom he had
arrested and murdered while they
were in prison.
Before the European war began
France and Germany each displayed
an eagerness to foreclose claims on
Hayti and thus obtain a footing there,
and since the war began, despite
their hostility at home, the French
and German representatives in Hayti
have acted in concert to thwart Amer
lean plans for controlling the country.
The bloody work of President Sam,
followed by his murder, caused Adj
miral Caperton of the United States
navy to land marines and take charge
tof the country. Since then it has
been under American control and
will so remain.
Hayti owes debt O. 100000,
mostly to Europe. Barn =.

Explorer Rcsenc Z.

Even today inland Noy Guinea is
one of the worlds GGsk spots. The
country is a nightmare OF gigantic
precipices, huge ravines, great
swamps and soaking forests. In 1901
the Danish explorer Petersen, with
three companions, dived deep into the
heart of this unknown country. They
were captured by a tribe OF savages,
who killed their carriers and made
them prisoners. For long they were
believed to be dead. Then. to every
ones amazement, a letter in Peter
sens writing was brought by native
to the coast. 1t told of his miserable
plight, and an expedition was at once
sent inland to bring him home.

Former Federal to
Lead Oft for Cubs
Max Flack Appears Sure to
Make Good as a Major
Lacquer.

CHICAGO, April 1.-Max Fleck.
who has been selected to lead OF in
the batting order for the Cubs the
coming season. Is sure to make good
In the National League as he did
in the Federal League last year. Tho
little right fielder Is a natural ball
player. and he Is a hitter Of moro than
the ordinary ability. As a lead-on man
he Is ideal. He II short and is hard to
pitch to on account OF his size. He Is a
good walter and makes the pitcher put
them over for him. lie is a coed hitter,
1t So hard that II Is not going to stop
for lack OF force at any time.
He Is one or the men that Tinker had
last year. euro OF his job the minute the
Tinker believes that Flack is just as
good player as Benny Saufr. and
does not hesitate to suy SO. In fact.
II Is q toss-up which man Tinker would
select II lie had his choice. for F1ack Is
one of the auietest men in the game.
but has plenty OF fight in his makeup
the minute he gets into a game.
Although Max has never had any ex--
perience in the big Leagues outside of
the Federal Lsgre. he Is a finished
player. He does not show n weakness
in any department. for he runs the
bases with Judgment and speed. lie
fields his position In the outfield with
out a flaw and he wallops the ball con-
sistently at all times. Hit batting aver
age last season was .3l5. and that Is
not an ensy average to make In any
league. His fielding average was .9I6.
which comes very close to being per-
feet.
Prior TO coming to the Whales Flack
was with the Peoria team of the Thrce-I
League. He was signed up by Tinker
ON the recommendation of one g: mis-
friends, who had seen him play In the
minors. He Is still a voungstcr, as no
is only twenty-five years old. and can
be relied on to be in the game for many
BellevIile. H. just n short distance
from East st. Louis. and he IL married.
He weighs $50 pounds and stands Ave
feet seven inches in height.
He has n habit OF getting all OF mis-
weight behind tho bat when he hits that
harder thnn most of the hatters that
are twenty-five pounds heavier than no
IL. He is a player who comes Nm to
Tinker's idea IT. every way. He takes
chances In a game when 1t Is worth
while taking chance.
Some players never want TO take n
chance on spearing a ball off their shoe
tops, but prefer to play IL cafe and let
II 60 for hit. Not 90 with Tinker.
He wants a PLAYER who will dive when
there Is a chance to get the ball, like
Jimmy Sheckard used TO. He would
much prefer having n player miss on
the dive than 10 havo him play II safe
and not take the chance.
The same on the bases. Joe wants n
player to be- on his toes and to take
chances stealing. and not wait for n
safe hit TO net him down to the next
base. Flack stole forty-nne bases last
season. which shows that he is not
asleep on the paths.

Tiger Hurler Longs
To Oppose Mexico
"Rube" Marshall Would Go tc
Front in Minute if War
Is Declared.

WAXAHACHIE, Tex. April If
It should become necessary for the
United States TO call for volunteers
to settle the Mexican trouble or to
get out OF another sort OF muss, the
Tigers would lose a promising pitcher
instantly.
"Rube" Marshall wouldn't even
walt to pack his trunk but would
hike to the nearest recruiting office
and offer his services to the army.
He used to be soldier and he Is

there would be anything. like a mans
1t will be all over before he could get
to the front, so he has decided to
stick around. hoping for compllca-
tons that win require his presence in
the ranks.
Marshall put in his entire enlist
ment with the Second United states
Infantry and was honorably dis
charged in 1912. He was stationed
at Fort Thomas, KY, for a time and
later went to Honolulu with the regi-
ment. He remained buck" private
throughout his service but had an
excellent record. never being in the
guard house nor being tried even by
summary court. He was promised a

While in the, army, "Rube" quail

considerable proficiency with the pis-

He first attracted attention as a
ball player while in the Hawaiian
