LoganViIIe Auto Case
(From Saturdays daily.)

In the Loganville automobile case
it has ben decided in circuit court
that A. G. Baumgarten return the
500 which Ewolt Bethke paid him
when he purchased the Grant auto
mobile. Bethke also receives his Ford
back which he gave to Mr.. Baumgar-
ten in part payment. J. w. Swafford,
by whom Bethke was employed and
who went on the Bethke notes as Sc
curity, is to pay the Reedsburg bank
$3.50 and interest. The bank had pur-
chased the notes from Mr.. Baumgar-
ten. The other note of $3.50 is not
due at the present time and could rot
be considered in this case. This will
be settled later. The bank will look
to Mr.. Swafford for it's share of the
costs in the case. If Mr.. Swafford in
turn is reimbursed he must look to
Mr.. Baumgarten for the face of the
notes, interest and costs. This may
or may not mean another lawsuit.
The jury decided that Bethke was
not of age at the time the Grant car
was purchased and the notes made.
This is why the burden falls upon Mr..
Swafford or Mr. Baumgarten, which
ever way the affair is finally ended.
The Grant car was returned to Baum
garten, so this machine was not con-
sidered in getting the skein untan-
gled.

SCHOONER DEULAH Il.
BEATS CAROLINE !.
DOWN FROM SOUND

Twenty.four days away from Cape
Flattery, and twenty-five from Seattle
where she loaded, the three-masted
schooner Beuiah, arrived yesterday con
signed to LEVERS & Cooke. Some
where along the same route is the four
masted schooner Caroline which left
the Sound two days before the Beulah
and while there is not a word said on
board the Benlah about Il there is, a
broad grin that commences on the face
of Captain H, Johannissen and extends
right around to the cook e left ear. 4
Captain Johannissen reports nothing
eventful except Gains and the whole
route down was just full Of them, he
says. The Beulah has a reputation of
being one of the fastest things of her
kind that comes in here, and to her
is ascribed the quality.of sailing along,
wind or no wind. H.. H.. ~ n ,.F

schooner that 'Hpassed MS so fast

was, and she was too far off to be recog
| nized from the Beulah, Captain Johan

BANK DEPOSITS OF
 GERMANS LIVING IN
 U. $. NOT TO BE SEIZED

Postmaster Worden last week called the Sentinels attention to the following statement issued by A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian:
 Some misapprehension seems to exist relative to the status. under the trading with the enemy Act, of citizens or subjects of Germany and it's allies resident within this country. Such persons are not in- cluded within the term, enemy or ally of enemy as employed in the act, The moneys on deposit in banks in this country belonging to such persons are not liable to seiz- ure by the government and will not. therefore, be taken into the possession of the alien property custodian.

SIZE IN BASEBALL.
Positions Where Big or Little Men Ars
 Favored by Managers.

Size is regarded as very impor- tant by many managers in their se- lection of players for various posi- tions. There are very few leaders who look with favor on small men as pitchers. True, major league rec ords contain the names of many small men who were star pitchers, but the same records show that d majority of the stars were six foot CTS. Possibly this accounts for the fact that managers seem to favor big pitchers. Pitching ball game is severe strain, and most man. agers believe the big, husky fellow is better able to stand the work than an undersized man. Often a promising recruit fails to get the attention he desires simply because of his lack of size.
 A good sized catcher also is usual ly preferred to the man of small or average stature. Playing 10 pitch CTS with great speed and others who use the spit ball almost entirely. or to southpaws with d big curve and d deceptive cross fire, keeps the catch CTS constantly in action. Another reason good sized catcher is look ed upon with favor by the manager is because most pitchers would much rather work with big fel- low. The husky man offers fine target for the pitcher and usually greatly helps him to acquire con- trol.
 First base is another position where the big rangy fellow gets the preference. The reason, of course, is that the added height often saves many wild throws that would ordinarily sail over the average players head. It also aids him in reaching out for widely thrown balls. At short and second the little fel- low usually shines. Some of the greatest shortstops and second base mon have been men very short of stature The big or little fellow seems to get along pretty well at third, while in the outtield size is seldom given any consideration. It is speed. judgment, fielding and bat ting ability that count in this de- partment.-Billy Evans Tn St. Nlch- olas.

FolIowinu a Custom.

An American traveller in Russia unearthed relic of Catherine the Great, whil4 amusingly illustrates the conservatism of the Russians. One day in crossing bridge she noticed that the half dozen wooden images upon pedestals which orna- mented it were weather worn. "The statues must be repainted,'' she said. The next day painter was set to work, and every year after ward while the empress lived she gave orders to have them repainted. At her death it had become an es- tablished annual custom, and today the poor statues, covered with more than hundred coats of vermilion paint, haze no resemblance to any thing but ungainly blocks of wood.

URGENTLY NEEDED

Several local mariners have called our attention to an error in our report ol the Mariposa wreci. The Sentinel stated that the wreck occurred at a place that is out ot tke usual coursa of traffic. This IS not true. Any large vessel leavi; g Wrangeli northbound wolld pa $ very close to WHsIe the wreck e. cured. It is only the small I boats. such as the Humboldt, Jefferson, ana City of Seattle that go through Wrangell Narrows. All vessels leaving Wrangell northbound which are too large 10 go through the Narrows must 70 around Cape Decision and can not I. old the perlous passage in which the Mariposa and other vessels have been wrecked.
 IhlS IS another tremendous argument in favor Of the Dfy Straits project. With the b. y Straits channel open to traffic the travelling distance between Wran- gel and Juneau would be consid erably shortened, and the Dry Straits would be much sater for the larger boats than going around Capr Decision. The opening of tss= Su uaits would eliminate Wran- g-'. NarroWs as passage. I he ,&-IoNs has never been a satis- a :tefH passage on account of even ha smaller vessels having to wait l.1j.i the tide is right before attempting to go through.
 Delegate Sulzer has frequently committed himself as strongly in favor of the Dry Straits project. The wrecking of the Mariposa should give the Delegate some strong talking points.

Deborah Was a Fighter.

Deborah Sampson was a young woman of Plymouth, Mass, who served with distinction during the Revolutionary war. :'hc enlisted at the age of eighteen CT the name of Robert Shurtcliflc. The military records show that the young private had splendid army career. No hardship of battle was too trying for Deborah. She soon won the con- idence of the officers and was not lnfrequently called upon to perform the most dangerous enterprise. She was twice wounded. Toward the end of the war her sex was discovered, and she was given an honorable dis charge from service. Later she re- ceived pension and a grant of land

Speculation In Stocks No More Gambling Than Other Business Ventures
 By HENRY CLEWS. Financier
UNHESlT ATlNGLY register my conviction that speculation

Il A
 my conviction that speculation
 in stocks as conducted in the New York Stock Exchange is no more gambling than speculation in real estate or merchandise. Wien the merchant buys goods he mal.es a venture the success or failure Of which only the future can deter- mine. The most legitimate business is that of the farmer, but even farming is speculation. A CHILL ING FROST OR AN INSECT PEST CAN DESTROY IN A DAY THE WORK OF MONTHS.
 Speculation is a science. There is a great difference between the speculator and the gambler. Specu. lation requires judgment and kno"l- edge, based on the com mplex rela- tions which enter into values. The matter of supply and demand, the weather, politics, a thousand and one things, have to be considered by the speculator.
