NEW CITIES REPRESENTED

Indianapolis, Ind, April 26.-Deter-
mined to reap some of the benefits of
harmonized baseball, the Central Lea
que opened its season today in four
cities. Despite a disastrous season
financially, in 1915, the league pre-
sented its full quota of eight cities,
although among them were three new
faces. Evansville, last years champs
Terre Haute, Dayton, O., and Wheel
ing, W. Va, played host today to Mus
kegon, South Bend, Springfield, O.,
and Grand Rapids. South Bend, Mus
kegon and Springfield displace Fort
Wayne, Erie and Youngstown in the
leagues roster. Evansville was the
only club last year to make a profit.
The league graduated from the six
city class in 1915. In 1914, with six
clubs, there were five contenders for
the pennant.

Chicago, H., April 26.-Mrs. Annie

the late Frederick Matters, wealthy
business man of Arcola, H., indicted
with Charles Mellon, a private detec-
tive, on the charge of foisting an al
legged spurious heir on the estate of
her husband, was placed on trial here
today.
Mrs. Matters efforts to gain con-
troll of her husbands 100000 estate
on the ground that Irene Matters was
born to her and her husband, was con-
tested by her brother-in-law, James
Matters. He contended the girl was
no relation of Frederick Matters. Mrs.
Matters sought to prove that it was.
Just as the case was ending DIR. L.
Emil Broard, head of the Misericordia
Hospital at Ottawa, Ontario, and Miss
Marie Louise Des Ronreres, head
nurse, who had previously testified in
support of Mrs. Hatters' claims, re-
pudiated their testimony and said the
child was not the daughter of Matters.
Mrs. Matters, in a settlement with the
heirs to the estate, received $4,000

a jewel.
The couture pictured is familiar

across the back of the head just above
the nape Of the neck. Three short
curls are pinned in below the coil.
An arrangement OF the hair in a
short French twist at the back sur
mounted by one long puff suggests the
return of the psyche knot The front
hair is loosely waved and parted at
the middle in very shallow part
This is a graceful style and becoming,

are somewhat trying and they lend

TODAY'S MOST
ODD STORY
(By United Press Association

Salem, Ore, April 26.-The myster-

highway in Lincoln county as shown
in the biennial road report of Oregon,
caused the Department of Agriculture
at Washington to wonder.
When Malheur, the biggest county
in the state, showed an increase of
1000 miles Of highway in two years,
the department demanded an explana-
ton from State Engineer Lewis.
Today Lewis made this explanation
to Washington: The 1914 road report
from Lincoln county was made when
the tide was out. When the 1916 re-
port was made the tide was in, and
800 miles of coast highways were IN
der water and couldn't be counted.
