Japan Plans Credit
to Build Battleships

Toxic, June 1.-Credits totaling
about s13O,32O.85O will be asked for
warship construction at the coming
special session of the Diet in June,
according to the forecast of the semi
official press.
The appropriation includes credits
for the naval repletion program
which calls for eight superdread-
naughts and the maintenance of four
fast battlecruisers. The warcraft to
be newly constructed, according to
the pending program, are one $4,000
ton battleship, two cruisers of 1900
and $500 tons respectively, two de-
stroyers of 1900 and 700 tons re-
spectively, two submarines of 700
tons each, and a special commission
ship os about 10000 tons.
The battleship, or superdread-
naught will be built in accordance
with the suggestions furnished by
the European war. The question as
to whether it will mount twelve IA
inch or twelve 15-inch guns is still
unsettled. Japan finds it difficult to
build the largest size guns in its
own yards and it is impossible at the
present time to import them from
England, as in the past

See Political Plot in
Ex-Minister's Arrest

Peking, June 1. - Progressive
Chinese and the more advanced YER
nacular newspapers in China de-
nounce the arrest of DR.. Chen Chin
tao, the former Minister of Finance,
as political plot arranged to elimi-
nate DR.. Chen Chin-tao from the
cabinet and turn the finances of
China over to some time Chinese,
who will not object to having gov
ernment funds used for political pur-
poses without a strict accounting.
The charge of bribery made
against the deposed Minister of FL
nance, is based on an alleged at
tempt on the part of a number of
merchants to corrupt him in con-
nection with a concession to smelt
small Chinese coins and convert
them into ingots. The copper in the
ordinary Chinese cash is worth far
more at present prices than the face
of the coins. 1t is against the Chin
ese law to melt such coins. How
ever, merchants desired to obtain
special concession from the govern
ment to engage in the reduction of
coins to copper ingots.
Great secrecy has been thrown
around the prosecution of DR.. Chen
Chin-tao. He was denied foreign
counsel, and was also denied native
counsel. Bonds for his release were
refused, in spite of the fact that

Family Builds on Boat
to Escape the Turks

Cairo. Egypt, June IA family OF
refugees from Tripoli, Syria, has just
arrived here, having escaped from
Turkish territory in boat of their
own manufacture. The boat was con-
structed entirely at night, being built
inside their house with the utmost
secrecy. AS soon as completed, 1t
was launched late one evening on
a rough sea. The journey to a place
of safety was a terrible one, the oc-
cupants of the boat being much of
the time waist-deep in water and es-
Gaping sinking only through tireless
and persistent baiIing.
According to information brought
by this family, the population of Je-
rusalem had been reduced about six
ty per cent. since the war. Some
smaller villages, particularly on the
northern coast of Lebanon, have only
one-seventh of their old population
left, the remainder having either
died or emigrated to the interior to
escape starvation.
This years crop in Syria is esti-
mated at only twenty-five per cent.

bread in Beyrout is about thirty cents

money.

will do more if the proper patronage
is forthcoming.
Manager Calhoun, of the Wilkes
Barre team, lost ten straight games
before he landed a victory. He
started with a rotten aggregation.
He realized that Wilkes-Barre would
patroniZe only a winning team, and
he went after players. He had the
backing to do it, and now Wilkes
Barre crowds are coming stronger
and the game is again on a paying
basis.
Pop" Kelchner, the Albright
coach and scout for st. Louis Ameri-
cans, was at yesterdays game. He
is of the belief that Harrisburg has
a fast bunch and will lie moving up
ward soon. He is little doubtful as
TO the future, but believes that at
present the uncertainty concerning
the outcome of the war is a factor
iE keeping the crowds back. He ex-
poets a decided change for the better
after the first call for troops under
the conscription law.
Buck" Elliott is a real boy at
short. He is handling the bat better
than last season and his presence on
the team has brought increased con-
fidence with other players.
Kraft, who was a big star with
the International League team when
Harrisburg was on the circuit. is first
baseman for Wilkes Barre. He is a
star player and a valuable man on
any team.

NEW TANNING RECORD
FOR SCHOOL GIRL PITCHER:
FANS TWENTY-ONE HITTERS

Boston, June lone of the greatest
pitching performances ever recorded
was made by Miss Emily Flaherty of
the Milton High School girls team,
when she succeeding in striking out
twenty lone Milton Academy girls in
a game which went only seven in
nings. Not only is the performance
a worlds record for a girl athlete,
but 1t betters any previous feat regis
tered by high or preparatory school
athlete in New England.
The most wonderful thing of all
was that the Milton Academy girls
team was victorious over Milton High.
the nine which Miss Flaherty repre-
sented. Only two solitary hits were
made of her delivery and but twenty
nine players faced her in the seven
innings. Not a single base on balls
did she issue and in four of the twen-
ty-one strikeouts her catcher dropped
tho third strike.
Wonderful Work
Captain John Liecty of the Milton
Academy boys nine acted as umpire
and he was astounded at the wonder
full curving skill, control and change
of pace which Miss Flaherty dis
played. The first thirteen batters OF
the Milton Academy girls team that
faced her went down via the strikeout
route.
Miss Flaherty is a sophomore in
the Milton High School and her feat
against Milton Academy was by no
means her first trial as baseball
player. One year ago she broke into
the sport pages of the daily papers
by beating Milton Academy girls, 3
to 2. and a no-hit game resulted.

&C Houston street. Mattapan, and only
recently reached her seventeenth
birthday anniversary.
She would rather see two teams
playing on the sand lots" than jour-
ney over to Braves Field or Fenway
Park. Her hobby Is baseball, and has
been ever since she took her first les
sons from her older brothers, who
figured rather prominently on anna
teur teams of the Mattapan section.
When she completes her education at
Milton High she intends to enter Sar-
gent School of Cambridge. and then
become a teacher of gymnastics and
athletics.
How She Did 1t
Miss Flaherty started off by regis
tering three strikeouts in the first
stanza. A like number faced her in
the second inning; one of the third
strikes was dropped. but according to
correct methods of scoring, the young
woman was credited with a strikeout.
In the third inning two more bit the
dust" on strikes. while in the fourth
she retired four via the strikeout
route, but one went for a passed bali,
allowing the Milton Academy girl to
reach first. Then in the fifth, sixth
and seventh innings three players in
row, nine in all, struck out. There
the game ended.
For Milton Academy Miss Storrow
was on the firing line and gave an ex-
cellent account of herself. Only three
hits were made off her by the Milton
High nine. Three were given free
tickets" to first and she struck out
eleven Milton High players.
According to the onlookers 1t was
Miss Flaherty's drop that was the
greatest assistance to her.
