THE PUBLIC INTEREST
IN BASEBALL

To millions OF men In stores, of.
fees and factories. spring begins the
day when the major league teams
pitch the first ball To them the
newspapers, previously dull and tame
now take on thrilling interest and
are eagerly sought for and read.
The intense popular interest excit.
ed by baseball and other sports is
deplored by philosophers. 1t occupies
the attention, not merely OF that
great host OF men so situated that
they can attend league games, but
OF millions all over the country. In
every cross roads section you find
young men who pore over the scores
of the big leagues, the local teams,
and minor leagues representing their
own state and section.
There are many newspapers today
that during the height of the season
give a page or two to baseball
Meanwhile the same papers might

Yet the same men who study SC
exclusively the box scores would
never be reading Congressional de

the tremendous interest In snort to
day has had something to do with thu

Bandit S Death
Is IN Doubt
Typhus Fever Is Raging In Northern
Mexico. Few Doctors In
the Country

FL Paso, Texas, April 17.--Gener'
al Gavira, Carranza commander at
Juarez announced tonight that the
Mexican telegraph wires between
Juarez and Chihuahua City had been
blown down near Pearson about noon
and that for this reason he was UNI
able to learn any further details Of
the reported discovery OF the body
of Villa.
At the same time telegram filed
at Chihuahua City, presumably be-
fore the interruption to the wire SER
vice, was received by the Associated
Press from Consul Letcher saying
that nothing was known in the state
capital regarding the finding of the
bandits body.
These two circumstances combin.
ed to reinforce the growing skeptic.
ism here as to the truth of the story
that death has ended the career Of
the fugitive brigand. The old story
that he man who is really dead Is
Pablo Lopez, the notorious butcher
OF Santa Ysabel and that villa has
deliberately used his death as the
basis of false report OF his own de-
cease, was revived. This story was
retold today by an American owner
of a large ranch in the Guerrero dis
trict. who said he had received 1t
from his ranch foreman and belie'-
ed it to be true.
The confidence of Mexican officials
here and in Juarez that villa is dead
has not, however, diminished, out
wardly at least. 1t was pointed out
today that If the body had been
brought to Cusihuiriachic it might
take the better part OF a day to trans
port It from there to chihuahua City
The roadbed between these two
points is In a deplorable condition,
like that of all other railroads in
northern Mexico.
Typhus Fever Epidemic
There are only three engines on
the road and all three are in very
battered and rickety condition. An
average of four or five miles an hour
is normal on the railroad and Cusi'
huiriachia is sixty miles from Chi
huahua. With hopes of Villas death
dwindling, attention here was direct
ed TODAY to a far deadlier and more
insidious foe, with which reports say
both Americans and Mexicans are
confronted. Reports received here TO-
dav by the American representative
OF large mining interests in Mexico
stated that typhus fever was raging
in northern Mexico and was assum-'
ing the proportions of great cpl
demic.
These reports said that the Mexi
can poems, ill-nourished and living
under the most unsanitary conditions
were almost helpless to resist the
rayages OF the disease. There are
few doctors in the country and al
most all of the American physicians
who formerly lived there have Ned
across the border. The few Ameri
cans who have been entering Mexico
from here in the last few weeks have
taken the precaution to carry sup
ply of bottled water with them, al

RECORD IS MADE
BY CIRCUIT COURT
JUDGE GEORGE GRIMM BELIEVES
IN SETTLING CASES WITH
OUT TRIAL.
BUT ONE CASE BEFORE JURY
Green County Saves over $500 in Jury
Costs Alone - Condition Re-
garded as Most Pleasing to
Local Attorneys.

Monroe.-During the session Of the
circuit court just closed but single
case came up for trial by jury. AS a
result of the efforts OF Judge George
Grimm of Jefferson, the presiding
Judge, Green county was saved over
5000 in jury costs alone.
Judge Grimm has gained state
wide reputation as favoring the set
tlement of all cases out of court, if
possible, and it is probable there is
not another section of the state in
which there is as little court litigation
as in the local district. A three days
session of court in Green county is the
rule, whereas before the regime Of
Judge Grimm the sessions lasted three
and four weeks.
This condition is regarded as most
pleasing to local attorneys. Although
there is, perhaps, the same number of
cases filed for action, the settlements
out of court leave both of tile liz
giants in better frame of mind and
they are willing to pay better fees to
their attorneys
