BLAM.ES NATIONAL
Commission FOR
B. B. TROUBLES
BY HAMILTON
iBy United Press.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The chase
after the mighty dollar and the ulti-
mate end of this chase, the death Of
the goose that lays the golden egg
never had more forceful bunch OF
evidence against its practice than in
the worlds series between Brooklyn
and Boston.
Charles H. Ebbetts isn't to blame,
nor is Joseph Lannin. The fault is
with the august National Commission,
the supposed protector of organized
laseball.
When the races in the National and
American leagues reached critical
toint early in October, the Commission
rcade its plans for the big event, in
structing all clubs which had chance
to have tickets printed and prepare
them for sale. They fixed a scale OF
urices which skidded from so cents
for bleacher seat in Boston to 81
il Brooklyn, to $5 for the best box
seats.
There was quashing teeth and bit
ter wailng by the fans, but they hav-
ing become baseball fans, were deter
mined to see the thing through and
they turned out well. There were va
cancies in the Brooklyn park, but
did big business in Boston.
Just the same the wall of the fans
is certainly going to be heard. II the
National Commission attempts to
STAGE another worlds series with such
rrices in vogue, critics everywhere
are confidently predicting that the
rulers of the game will get the shock
of their dignified lives when they
count the resultant kale.
1t was the mad, dashing blood-strug-
gle for money that put the curse on
horse racing and the same thing al
most has done it to boxing. The Ma
tional Commission is flirting with OBJ
scurity when it casts everything but
commercial side of the game to the
Cogs
The success of football the great
college sport, run exclusively from a
sporting standpoint, is hint Garry
Herman, ct al, should not overlook

STAGE DRIVER ASKS
FOR JURY TRIAL
SET NOV. Z

Charged with reckless driving and
assault, A. F. Nelson, driver of a stage
operating between Ell Centre and Cal
exico, pleaded not guilty to both counts
yesterday before Justice |. Mayfield.
He was represented by Attorney D. A.
Ault of Calexico.
1t is alleged that Nelson ran into
another stage on the Dogwood road
Sunday night, badly damaging it, and
then proceeded to beat up John W.
Fee, driver of the wrecked car.
After running into the garage with
mis- car and then taking a few pokes
at the unfortunate driver, Nelson, it
is said, continued on to Calexico,
where he was arrested on advices
from this city. He was allowed to
go, however, upon placing a cash bond
with Justice Hoffman and was given
q hearing here yesterday morning.
Nelson has demanded jury trial
which has been set for November 2.

OF
YOUNG GIRL
STILL UNDER
COVER

As vet no trace of the Portuguese
who attempted an alleged assault yes
tcrday afternoon on Julia, the four
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. B.
Fegyi, has been found Several sus-
poets have been arrested but in each
case they were not identified as the
man.
According to E. R. Price, janitor
cf the Palace Theater, he came upon
the little girl and her assailant upon
the balcony stair way and that the
man when he say him said "For God
sake, Mister, don't let them arrest
me-" Upon this, Price said, he made
for the negro, but the little girl, in her
frightened state, grasped him about
the legs and before he could get away
the man had left the theater. When
he at last reached the street the negro
was just turning into the alley in the
rear of the Davis building and from
that time no one has appeared that
has seen a man answering the des-
cription given the officers.
Mrs. Hegyi, who with her husband,
conducts cleaning establishment on
broadway street, stated this morning
that yesterday afternoon a customer
gave her little girl two pennies and
the child left for store to get some
candy. Later, she said, her daughter
was brought home and the dreadful
story of assault was told her. She
questioned the girl who told her that
man had only kissed her.
AS socn as the affair became known,
Sheriff Charles Applestill and Depu-
ties Cummings and Price, started out
on the hunt and posse was immed-
lately formed. Mr.. Price gives an ex-
cellent description of the man and it
is hardly likely that he will be able
to keep under cover for long. From
reports It is known that the Portu-
guese has been hanging about the city
for some time.
He is described as about 5 foot
seven in height, weight about 145
pounds. Hair black and straight,
rather than curly. Hatehet face,
wears slight dropping mustache
which does not grow for quite space
Under the nose.

serious situation is rapidly developing
in northern Chihuahua is evident
from reports received here today by

Sonora to join Villas force. From
the south, around Iorreon and Dur
ango, other bands are rapidly moving
northward to reinforce Villa.
Refugees fom Chihuahua City con-
tinue to pour into Juarez. Later ar
rivals confirm the stories of skir-
nlishing now going on outside of the
capital.
Hundreds of refugees from Chihua-
hua City streamed into Jaurez during
last night and today bringing the con-
firmation of the report of Villas pres
ence outside of the city. They de-
clared that an attack was imminent.
At midnight three hundred refugees
had arrived here and another train
brought the family of General Trevino
commander there. Many refugees have
crossed to the American side, and
rearly all said they left because of
fear that Villa wauld again enter the
city and believe Trevino will evacuate
when the assault begins.
Other refugees arriving reported
another skirmish between the out
posts of de facto and Villistas at
fresno, ten miles west of Chihuahua
City.

MACKELS0N'S MIGHTY ARMIES
IN GREAT DRIVE

ir length, or 100 feet longer than the
worlds tallest building, the Wool
worth, is high, it was learned today.
The cruisers will displace $4,000
tens eaih, and will be capable of
speed of from 80 to 35 knots an hour.
Each will cost not more than $16,-
100000, under the terms Of the new
naval appropriation. Armor and
armamen will add another $4,000, 900
apiece.
They will be equipped with Sand
14-inch guns
Every effort is being made to has
ten the construction Of these vessels.
Bids already are in for portion of
the armament.
The new battleships, bids for four
of which will he opened tomorrow,
will each displace $4,000 tons,, and
will be 624 feet long. They will
mount 16-inch guns.
The new cruisers, therefore will be
more than 200 feet longer than the
newest battleships Of the American
navy. Their extreme length, it is
said, is necessary to provide room for
the very powerful maihinery neces-
sary to propel the vessel at high
speed.
According to the best information
cf American naval designers, the new
American cruisers will be the most
lowerful afloat.

lieved to have been saturated with
chloroform and used in rendering the

time for they ransacked the drawers
and closets throughout the house,
opened jewel cases and picked out only
the most costly gems and piled them
~, placing the empty cases behind
the curtains of the rooms on the low
er floor.
All indications are that the robbers
anne anI escaped in an automobile.

BRITISH REPLY NOT
SATISFACTORY HERE

Washington, July 24.-Great Brit
tain's partial reply to the American
note protesting against interference
with neutral mails is regarded by Off
Gals as unsatisfactory, principally be-
cause it deals with specific cases in
stead of the principles involved. Off
cials infer from the communication
that Great Britain is determined TO
uphold her attitude which the United
States regards as unwarranted and
without authority in international law
Acting Secretary Polk said he
would cable Ambassador Page, ac-
knowledging receipt OF the British
communication and repeating the re
quest for an early reply to the last
American note He said the memoir
andum would be given out for puhli-
cation later in the day. 1t is now be-

has a net tonnage of 1892 There has
been some ill-will against Germany in
Brazil because Germany seized Bra
lillian coffee worth $7,O00.0OO and re-
fused payment for it. After Portugal
had requistiOned German ships in her
ports last February it was reported in
New York and London that Brazil had
taken similar action. GeTmany's dec
