United States loses one of its greatest
commanders and at a time when his
loss is doubly felt. In daring and real
fighting qualities Gen. Funston was of
a caliber which entitle him to rank
with the biggest and best soldiers in
history.
Ohio was Funston's native State,
but ct the time of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war he was identified with Kan
sas, TO which State his parents moved
when a child.
In Kansas he received an academic
education, which was finished at the
university of that State in 1885. He
began work as newspaper reporter,
which profession he followed for sew
eral years. In 1899 he went to Alaska
for the Government. A short time la
ter he was sent to Cuba to assist in
souelching the insurgents. Step by
step he pushed his way up in the Gu
ban insurgency from Captain to Ma
ior, then Lieutenant Colonel.
When the United States declared
war on Spain, Funston hurried back to
Kansas. where he was made Colonel of
the Twentieth Kansas Volunteer In
fantry. From that point dates a part
of his career which may properly be
described as world famous.
In the Philippine campaign Funston
won distinction by capturing Emilio
Agunaldo, whom he made prisoner
in 1901. He was noted for many acts
of bravery. During the Philippine

1t was learned yesterday that their
visit to the county followed the re-
ceipt of certain information given to
the Department OF Justice from per
sons in this city and Jackson. One
man, living near Jackson, is said to
have publicly declared that he would
make visit to the national capital for
the purpose of seeking revenge, should
the United States and Germany de
clare war.
This threat, it is understood, was
communicated to the Office Of the
United States District Attorney in st.
Louis with similar utterances made in
this city. 1t is presumed that the
secret service agents were dispatched
to this county following the receipt Of
these complaints.
The Government detectives are work
ing out of Washington, it is said, and
under instructions from the Chief of
the Secret Service Bureau. Whether
the Government intends to take &C
ton through the federal grand jury
could not be learned yesterday.

NEAR TREASON

George C. Swasey, president,
and Evan s. Stallcup, secretary, of
Alexander Hamilton chapter, Sons
of the American Revolution, on
behalf of the chapter, have just
mailed Jones letter ending as
follows:
ut is the unanimous opinion OF
this chapter that your continued
defense of the lawless and ruth
less acts of the German military
power comes perilously near to
treason against the United States,
and renders your further useful
ness as representative of this
state in the United States senate
at an end. The further continu-
ance of your pro-German propa-
ganda against the president of the
United States is not in the inter
est of the country, and the cause
of patriotism and national honor
will be served by your resigna-
ton and the appointment of an
American to fill your place. rather
than that you should remain in
tinue this propaganda"

CLEVER WALTER PIPP
Yankees First Baseman Is Most
Remarkable Player.
Earned Title Of Home-Run cIouter Of
His Circuit While but Twenty.
Three Years Of Ace-In Clean
Up Position.

Walter Pipp, first baseman of the
Yankees, is one of the most remark
able players developed in the last de-
cade by the American league. Last
session., while only twenty-three years
cid, this clever performer earned the
hone-run title of his circuit and also
batted in more runners during the sea-
son than any other ball player Of the
johnson organization. His hitting was
more effective than that Of iris Speak
er, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Eddie Col
Inns and several others who topped him
In the official averages.
Pipp bats fourth in Bill DOnovan's
order. Fourth place'is considered the
cleanup" position. There is fine
distinction when it is remembered that
J. Franklin Baker, the home-run king
Of Connie Mack's famous world cham
pion pennant trust, is now team-mate
Of the Michigan marvel.
In Pipp and Baker the Yankees pos
sess an ideal offensive pair such as has
carried more than one team to success.

Is good base runner, one capable of
getting the utmost inch on both his
own and Bakers blows. ~
Pipp stands today as an example OF
the sound baseball sense Of Manager
Donovan. When Wild Bill was brought
over from Providence pennant fame to
assume charge Of the Yankees by
Messrs. Rupert and Huston, the new
owners, he found that the Detroit club
had given New York options on Pipp
and Hughie High.
Both Pipp and High made good, and
formed nucleus around which it was
possible to build the present strong
structure. Like most of the promi.
nent American league sluggers, Wal
ter Pipp is a left-handed batsman. He
throws with his right hand, q qualifica.

for first-base play. Pipp is a grand

his hands. He is possessed of Won

THREE SWATS WERE ENOUGH
Gawky Michigan Pitcher Who Could
Fool Ty Cobb Is Given Chance
to Show Jennings. s.

Hughie Jennings, manager Of the
Tigers, recently had letter from a
Michigan pitcher who stated that he
could strike out Ty Cobb three times
out of four trips to the plate. It only
cost $3.50 to get peep at this pitcher
and, working on the old motto that you
never can tell, Jennings forwarded the
one buck and eight dimes.
The pitcher came, six-foot four
inch man. He was gawky and he was
all joints and bone.
Cobb was called and he faced the
new marvel. The first pitch Cobb
whacked against the rlght-field wall.
The next was good for four bags when
Ty pasted 1t, and the third flew to
deep center and was four-ply shot.
"Weil, what have you got to say?'
asked Jennings.
81 don't think that's Cobb" said the
pitcher.
Needless to say, that ended the
pitchers career.
