DR. REEkS LEAVES
 ON OCTOBER FIRST
Health Board Has No Idea Who
 Successor Will Be

The resignation of Dr. T. Eben Reeks. superintendent of health, ef- fective October 1, was accepted with regret at special meeting of the health board at o'clock yesterday. The various commissioners spoke with feeling of the superintendent's excel lent work duing the past three years and Mayor Quigley, who was present. said: ''I was closely associated with Dr. Reeks before he became super intendent of health and I have been closely associated with him since and l can only say that I am sorry to see him go. I am more sorry to see him go than I would be at the loss of any other city official" The fol- lowing letter was then dictated and sent to Dr. Reeks:
 Dr. T. E. Reeks,
 New Britain. Conn.,,
 Dear Doctor Reeks:-
 Your letter of resignation as su- perintendent of health of the city of New Britain, and addressed to me, was read to the Board of Health at a special meeting held this afternoon. 1t is with sincere regret that the Board of Health finds itself compelled to accept your resignation as final. the board realizes, however, that your contemplated new work will carry you into a larger field of use- fulness and that capable men with special talents are always sought af- ter.
 Because of our more or l1ss close personal association in the past, we hope to share in a modest way your future success, which we feel is a foregone conclusion.
 Respectfully yours,
 GEORGE H. BODLEY,
 Chairman of Board of Health.
 Later during the meeting there was a general discussion regarding Dr. Reek's successor. It was suggested that the director of the School of Public Health at Harvard might be able to recommend man. The fact however, that the charter states that a man to take the position must have at least three years practise as a physician would make it impossible to accept any other, no matter how well qualified he might be.

REBUKES MAYOR THOMPSON
Chicago City Council Condemns His ''PaCifist" Attitude Supporters Called ''Bunch of Skunks."

Chicago, Sept By vote of AZ to Chicago aldermen went on record yesterday as praising Gov. Lowden because he stopped the Peo- ple's Council Convention and as de- nouncing the Lundin-Tho ompson City Hall group because they tried to foist it upon Chicago. The city coun- cil, unable to act upon Alderman John Toman's resolution officially on account of hampering rules, resolved into a committee of the whole and then took the decisive vote. Mayor Thompson presided.
 Victory came only after nearly four hours of strenuous battling. At times the fighting threatened to change from words to blows. On one occasion Alderman Bowler could bare ly be held back from Alderman Mi chaelson, champion of the mayor. upon whom he was rushing with clenched fists.
 You and the mayor and your crowd are a bunch of dogs-a bunch of skunks," shouted the nineteenth ward alderman as he was led away from Michaelson-
 |, The resolution as adopted by the aldermen was strengthened by amendments suggested by Alderman Richert which call upon the govern or and the mayor and the sheriff to prevent any further meetings like the convention the Peoples Council tried to hold here.
 After the adjournment the mayor refused to say what he thought about ' his defeat.

New York, Sept. 5.-New York state has lost the opportunity of tax ing a considerable amount of "in- tangible" assets left by Hettv Green, butSit has gained a new insight into her business methods by testimony supporting Appraiser Compton's de- cision handed down yesterday.

 When Col. E. H. R. Green was asked about business letters he had received from his mother while she was in Bellows Falls he said:

 At another point Col Green testi- fled:
 The Westminster Co.,, incorporated in New Jersey in 1911, was formed, after Mrs. Greens health began to fail, to relieve her of care and to en- able me to handle active investments. The Windham Realization Co.,, Inc, incorporated in New York in 1912 was organized for the purpose of taking over the foreclosing mortgages in default belonging to Mrs. Green and allied interests. Mrs. Green was never a stockholder of record She had nothing to do With directing it's affairs"
 As to the richest woman's' invest ing preferences, her recently married son stated:

FIGHT ON SYSTEM
 NOT ON THE KAISER
U. s. Will Be Judge of Political
 Reforms in Germany

Washington, Sept. 5.-Am bassador Sharp at Paris has informed the state
 department that the French people have accepted President Wilson's re- ply to the Pope's peace proposal as embodying the principles for which the Allies are fighting. The. ambas- sador's cablegram indicated that vir
 tually every class of the French peo- pie feels that no further statement is necessary at this time.
 Officials of the state department discredited reports, circulated freely within the last ten days, that Pres ident Wilson would not consider a Characterization of Germany which was not predicated upon the abdica- tion of the Kaiser. They make it plain that the United States is not interested in individuals but in those institutions from which individ uals derive abnormal powers.
 The German people may do any thing they please" Secretary Lansing said. "This government will not be in the position of dictating to them the measures they should take. The United States, however, is pledged to be the judge of whether the changes in the form of government effected are such that this country can trust the German government
 Secretary Lansing's statements were accepted as meaning that the United States is not fighting the war to get rid of the kaiser but to re- move the system which made the kaiser's power possible.
 Must Be Fundamental Change.
 MT. Lansing has repeatedly de-
 oli tn
 of the precise nature of changes
 which the United States will expect Germany to make in it's form of gov
 ernment before this government will be satisfied that the menace to de- mocracy has been dissipated
 All the changes must be based upon fundamentals and no superficial evil dences of a changed system will be accepted by this government, MT. Lansing has informed persons who in quired concerning the precise charac- ter expected in the evolution from an 1 autocracy into democracy.
 1 The first change which would be 1 accepted as an evidence of the good 1 faith of the government and the de- | termination of the German people would be reorganization of the min l isterial form of administration, l whereby the chancellor hereafter would be responsible to the people 1 through the Reichstag and not solely 1 to the kaiser.
 Reports that President Wilson feels that the removal of the new Chan 1 cellor Michaelis would be a move in | the right direction are denied in we'll l informed circles. The president is l not interested in Dr. Michaelis except | in so far as he is the tool of a sys- ! tenn which is repugnant to this gov ernment. If, the democratic reforms 1 are made on fundamentals.
 In general the administration is 1 satisfied that the kaiser and his pres l ent advisers would naturally retire l before accepting a reorganization which would leave them in the posi- | tion of agents rather than dictators.

Rioters Sentenced for Long Terms
 Washington, Sept. 5.-Reports that white soldiers are refusing in some places to salute negro officers and complaints by congressional delega- tions against the training of negro soldiers in Southern camps are caus- ing deep concern to war department officials.
 Representative Dent of Alabama and Representative Harrison of Miss issippi have complained to Secretary Baker that mobilization of negro troops at Montgomery and Hatties-
 burg might result in serious race
 riots.
 As for the training of the negro draft recruits, the department has virtually decided that it will place them along with the white recruits at the 16 national army ,cantonments. A general order issued stated that l one infantry regiment will be organ l ized at each of the cantonments, where sufficient personnel is available, but officers explain that the negro | troops will be so segregated that they l will hardly come into contact with 1 the white recruits.

Scientists Unable to Figure Why
Some CatChers Throw Lead Ball

Why does one player throw a light
even less speed, hurls ball which
comes to fielder as If it was n lump
OF lead?
This is a freak OF baseball, one OF
tho interesting scientific problems OF
the game. Many theories have been
advanced, but 1t is seldom that more
than two players on a club agree upon
u possible solution. Ii was discussed
in the press box last Wednesday when
the Detroit Tigers and New York
Giants were here.
Archie Yelle, "A recruit catcher, was
one OF the players whose work started
the discussion this season. Yclle is
n clever receiver and a splendid
thrower but he hurls IA ball which
nearly knocks "A baseman into the
outfield. Yelle has tried to remedy
this fault, but pke many other catch
crs some OF whom were stars. he has
failed. Detroit infielders would rather
stop piece of shrapnel than throw
from this recruit backstop.
Hack" Spencer. the comeback, who
may be Detroits first string catcher
this year. sends the ball TO second Ike
"a rifle shot. His throw is low all the
way and despite this fact, Bush and
Young solemnly insist that the ball
seems to float into their glove. Stan
age, too. is fine thrower and his of
ferings are gentle. Mckee, fourth
member OF the staff is an erratic
thrower, who seems to be pitching
lead.
Two OF Detroits infieldcrshre heavy
throwers and two serve /up much
lighter offerings. Shortstop Bush and
Second Bascman Young are disciples
of the Spencer class. while Oscar Wit
and George Burns throw as lelle does.
Years ago baseball experts tried to
solve this mystery. In the dim days
when Malachi Kittridge was in his
prime, and feared by baserunners, he
was equally feared by the men who
had to stop his terrific throws. Malachi
had very small hands and some play
ers believed that his inability to got
a better grip on the horsehidc gave
the ball n spin which made It feel so
heavy. But DOME Bushs hands are
not large, while Burns has long
fingers.
Another solution offered is that
straight overland throw imparts light
ness to the ball side-arm or an
underhand motion causes a heavy
spin, say some players. but there al
ways seems to be an exception to their
solution. Other students of the game
are inclined to believe that the play
ers' fingertips are the cause. They
give the ball its final spin and n heavy
ball usually comes to a fielder with
downward rotation similar to the be
ginning Of the break To a spitbal.
And there may be very close con
nection between the spitball and the
'leadball." for If ballplayers are unani-
nous on any phase Of the game, they
are in the declaration that they would

TULSA CONTRACTOR
IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Kennamer Now Convinced
That Tanlac Is All That Is
Claimed for 1t.
WIFE'S HEALTH RESTORED
Had Been in Badly Rundown
Condition for Years and
Nothing Else Helped Her.

w. l.. Kennamer, the well known
building contractor residing at b3S
South Victor street. is still another
prominent Tulsa citizen who comes
forward with his unqualified endorse
ment for Tanlac. the medicine that is
accomplishing such gratifying results
in this city and vicinity and is winning
high praise from everybody. In a re-
cent interview with the Tanlac repre-
sentative In the ReXall Drug Store,
Mr.. Kennamer said:
For several years my wife has
been In a general rundown condition
and suffering from indigestion and a
disordered liver. For the past year
now she has been steadily. declining
and got to looking so bad before she
took Tanlac that ] was alarmed about
her condition. Right after eating, her
food would sour on her stomach and
form gas which would bloat her all
up and often caused a nausea and
sickening sensation at the stomach.
She had no appetite at all and suf-
fered so much after eating that she
was really afraid to eat, and often she
had rather go without food than suf-
fer so much from what she ate. She
was terribly rundown, seemed to
have no energy and very little
strength and said many times she felt
like she ought to be in bed.
"She has now taken three bottles
of Tanlac and really looks like diff
ferent person to what she did when
she began taking 1t n month ago. She
hasn't suffered any from indigestion
since the first week she took Tanlac.
Her food seems to digest readily and
she don't have any more sourness, gas
or bloating at all after eating. Her
appetite is fine, she enjoys her meals
and says she feels much stronger.
She's not the least bit nervous now
and gets plenty of sound restful sleep
every night. She has taken other
medicines without any satisfactory re-
suits but Tanlac seemed to be just
what she needed and has been a won
derful help to her already. ! had
been reading what others said Tanlac
did for them and now since my wife
has derived such great benefit from IL
[ am convinced that II is one medi-
cine that is all that is claimed for It,"
Tanlac is sold in Tulsa exclusively
by Roy Getman's Rexall Drug Store
and Quaker Drug Co, under the per-
sonal direction OF a special Tanlac
representative.
