runs journeyed across the little old

the Griffs in sixth place once more.

ished at third, and 70 failed to come
over in front of Hendryx when Alex
ander clouted one safely to left.

the Grifmen would today be leading

must start in all over again. Isn't it
rough? Yes, it's a rough world, but

The Old Fox had well-laid plans
for passing the Yankees. Walter
johnson paralyzed the enemies for
nine full innings, trimming them, 8
to 0. So far, 80 good. We were in
fifth place. Then came James
Aloysius Shaw, who paralyzed the
foe for eight full innings. So far, so
good.
And then came Tim Hendryx.
That was different.

 FOR DISLOiAITf

MARINETTE, Wis, May 1.-When Ewald Mans. a German who has nv ed in Marinette for many years. was arraigned before Judge C. C. Daily. on a charge of making frequent dis loyal utterances against the United States in championing his water land" he was held to be guilty and sentenced to the workhouse. and also ordered to leave the city immediately upon the expiration of his term of five days.
 How long before can come back to Marinette?" asked Mans as he turned away into the custody of sher- if Michael Hallen.
 Better stay away at least a year, and possibly longer" the court re- piled.
 Mans is alleged to have declared Germany is "better than the United States" that Germany "can lick the United States" and that "the United States is afraid of Germany" with ether anti-American remarks.
 Several weeks ago Mans was ar rested by Chief of Police John Cook and charged with making seditious ut terances. He was lodged in jail. bat was soon released and immediately he went to the office of Clerk of the Court Anderson and took out first citi- zenship papers. But Mans could never his poise when he became in volved in disputes over the war, and several times he engaged his disput- ant in fistic combat.
 Finally, in a fit of rage. it is alleged he grabbed a. big butcher knife and "ruthlessly" chopped to pieces a new over coat which had just been given him by friend.

 of President Jackson. At the base of
 the statue are four cannon of the
 Civil War type. They have been there. for years, having grown green from tle weather.
 The cannon are mounted on old time two- wheel carriages and can be easily moved. I his fact caused Colonel

 that the cannon in Lafayette Park were put out of business.
 It would be an easy thing for some person to load up one of these old timers with black powder and small tall, point it toward the White House
 and touch it off," declared an army officer. Considerable damage could be done"
 The guns ha, e been spiked by load ing the muzzles with wood and then sealing them over with lead. There are also numerous guns used for deco rative purposes about the base of the statue, war and navy buildings.
