 But there is another problem The city is running on borrowed money.

SPANIEL ACQUITTED.

When the public at large read of how the members of the jury trying Harry Spanell for the killing of his wife agd>col Butler, cried in the jury box as his Story was being told, the >~opiniqu grew that nothing would come ohtFe trial
 sSanment is the most appealing ar gumeht before a jury, and sympathy the most powerful controlling force.
 There were three persons in the au. tomobiie when spaner killed two. and that left only himself Two tongues were stiled in death and the other told rambling story that took root and won a jury verdict.
 Life is cheap. If spanell had been canght aambling he would have been fined. If he had stolen something oi little value he would have been sent to prison. If he had merely shot and wounded his wife and Colonel Butler and they had lived to tell the story he probably would have gone 10 the pen itentiary for life.

THEY roo LOVE PEACE.

Three thousand MeXicaus have fol- lowed the Pershing forces to the bor- der in the hope they would be allow ed to follow on to a land where they would enjoy peace.
 As General Pershing states, when these ignorant and i'll informed na- tives first learned an American force was coming to them they were in ter TOT. They believed their homes would be further pillaged, their property taken. and their women and children abused and outraged
 These poor people had come to re- gard force as only a means to ter 1ible end. They know now that force may be used for good as we'll as for evil and that the force the American nation used was a force of power that made for them peace and content ment

of the day by vanquishing Miss Molla

in the final matcn of the women-s

away with the match, after Miss BUR

games in row.
Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, who won the
round robin by defeating both Miss
Browne and Miss Bjurstedt. was fully
extended 10 defeat the national cham
pion on Saturday. while Miss Browne
did not give her a great deal of trouble
II was therefore expected that MISS
Biurstedt would win with plenty 10
spare from Miss Browne, hence the sur
prise to-day was all the greater.
The former champion won squarely
on her merits, driving with splendid
pace to deep court and placing her
shots so skilfully that her opponent
was compelled TO do an unusual amount
of footing. Rarely did the great Nor
wegian get a chance to come up to the
net. for Miss Browne sent her drives
skimming down the side lines or sharp,
" across the forecourt for beautiful
placement aces.
Miss Biurstedt did not seem able TO
rise to her usual heights of ordnance
Of anv time during the match, ana
many of her ground strokes landed 10
tho net when she attempted to "stroAe
the ball. Miss Brownies court tactics
were practically fawless. and 1t was the
ability to force her opponent out OF
position that made Miss Brownies We
tory certain.

Hot Springs, Ark. March 12.-Jack
Coombs and Larry Cheney took advan-
tage of the hot weather here to-day
and pitched five innings for their teams
at Wilmington Park this afternoon.
The pair of veterans took things easily
during their stay in the centre of the
diamond, and finally gave way to the
youngsters, Burning and Mails. Durn-
ing pitched the best ball Of the four
and flashed some classy fielding at
times. In his first two innings he had

"Hi" Myers made a great one-handed
running catch in the fifth inning, when
he ran to the fence in centre field and
grabbed Hickman's long drive with his
glcved hand. 1t was a great bid for
a home run, the hit being longer than
the one on which Hickman scored a
homer yesterday.
Owing TO the lack of proper bathing
facilities during the noon hour Man
ager Robinson has decided to cut out
the morning work and have one long
session in the afternoon. full nine

Browne Loses Garden License;
Three Other Clubs Suspended
By FRED HAWTHORNE

The hopes. aspirations, ambitions,
longings or desires that Grant Hugh
Browne and the Garden Tower Corpora
ton may have had to conduct box
ing bouts in Madison Square Garden
faded Yesterday when the State Ath-
letic Commission. in solemn conclave
assembled, formally took away Mr..
Brownies license. At the same ses-
sion the commission revoked the IL
cense of the Olympic A. c. and sus-
pended the license of the Empire
A. c. and the Harlem Sporting Club,
all "for the good of the service as
our old friend, former Police Commits
sioner Bingham. used 10 say.
The action against the Garden Tower
CORPORATION was simply case Of for
mally ratifying what had already been
announced would be done. When
Chairman Wenck on Saturday night
declared he would deprive the Tower
CORPORATION of its license because II
had failed 20 acquire title TO the Gar
den he was only confirming the stories
published exclusively in The Tribune
several Gays previously NUdb HttbH't
Browne. Paris Singer nor the Tower
company would conduct bouts in the
building, for the very good reason That
no lease for year had been signed by
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany. owner of the premises. With
out legitimate years lease there
could be no bona fide license.
Although the jig was up several days
ago. Mr.. Browne, after Mr.. Singers
withdrawal from the mess, continued
his frantic attempts TO hang on, at the
same time persisting in announcing that
White and yelling WOULD box at the
Garden last night and that the stories
to the contrary were silly and without
foundation"
Commissioner Dryer made the mo-
ton 10 withdraw the license, and
Wenck and John Franey made II
unanimous. The commission explained
that the license had been granted origi-
nally on the understanding that the
Tower Corporation would acquire title
TO the Garden on March | or that full
years lease would be SHOWN.
Mr.. Browne. or whoever is behind the
Garden Tower Corporation. was grant
ed an extension of time until to-mor-
row to make good on the taking over OF
