rs that Buddy?"
Jimmie keet, 3 years old looked
down into the white casket where
slept his murdered brother.
Blinded by Tears.
The father, j. Holland Keet, who
held him, was blinded by tears.
YES" he whispered.
"Is Buddy asleep?"
Yes, he is asleep"
When will he come back to play"
Buddy won't come back"
Wont he never come back?"
Mr.. Keet could not answer and Jim
mie, seeming to understand it all for
the first time. cried. Not since baby
Lloyd was taken from his bedroom
by the kidnappers had Jimmie been
told his fate.
Kept at Play.
To all his questions where is Bud
dy?" the answer had been that he
would soon be back. He had been
kept at play much of the time since
the discovery of the body.
1t was not generally known that the
funeral services were to be this after
noon, and not more than 300 relatives
and friends of the family attended.
The morning brought floral tributes
from persons throughout the city and
flowers continued to pour into the res
idence till the hour of the funeral,
filling every available space. Many
came from persons unknown to the
family.

Mr.. Keet and his wife bore up
braveIy through the ordeal of the af-
ternoon. But Mrs. Keet gave evidence
as she appeared at the church and
although she has recovered partially
from the prostration caused by the
finding of the baby's body, she was
under the care Of physicians during
the funeral
The baby's grandmother, Mrs. Kate
Keet, was unable to attend, her con
dition being such that it was not dared
to permit her to leave her sons home
in Meadowmore place.
The services at the church were
pronounced by the Rev. W. a. Nc
Clannahan and were simple. Several
hymns were sung and prayers offered.
Members of the mob who helped in
pulling the rope which suspended
Claude Piersol in the air three times
on Saturday night. attended the fu-
neral. And the leader, the man who
led the party which captured Piersol,
and the other members of the gang
stood just outside the doorway. his
head barred.

stalls. taking their locations by lot, the
locations being changed each week
merchants will be carried out on the
outside but for the stalls on the curl
no charge will be made.
Among the stipulations of the com
mittee's plan Is that mo commission

be allowed the use of any of the stall:

their plan, whereby a club will be
placed over the heads of the produce
merchants to prohibit undue initiation
of prices.
Two Stalls Reserved.
Two stalls inside the market house
will be kept In reserve by the city and
in case the merchants begin to charge
exhorbitant prices, the city will fill its

Message To Russia

LONDON, June 12.--The Manches-
ter Guardian in a long leader describes
President Wilson's message to Russia
as an extraordinary and powerful piece
of writing.
The paper finds little new in his
statement of principles affecting a
peace settlement but says that his "ap-

boldness ard blunt downrightness.
The Guardian concludes: "It is a
powerful piece of analysis and if it is
read and understood in Russia, it will

FOR NAVY FROM WAYNE a..

OF the thirty or more young men ex-
amined here by Postmaster Beck as
recruits for the navy. and sent to In
dianapolis, only two have been re-
jected.
No enlistments have been made for
several days Beck believes the fall
ing off in enlistments is not due to
any lack OF interest on the part of
Wayne county's young men, but that it
is due to a belief that, having regis
tered, they cannot enlist until drafted.
Contrary to this belief voluntary en-
listment in any branch Of the. service

CUB SCRUBS FALL

Krug's Men Make Hits Count

BURG MAKES TWO DOUBLES

The Chicago Cub second team is
said to be as good as the first team
but it isn't as good as Omaha. The
Rourkes conclusively proved this
point yesterday afternoon by admin
istering 4-to-2 lacing to the said
Cub seconds.
A southpaw gent by the name OF
Reuther was on the firing line for
the Cublets. Reuther is a descendant
of the kaiser. This may have had
something to do with the walloping
The timely bingles in each of the
following rounds-third, sixth and
seventh--proved the undoing of Reu-
ther and his comrades.
In the third Joe Burg started the
bombardment with a ripping double
to center. 1relan grounded out, but
Shag Thompson drew walk Pickles
Dilhoefer, almost a second Ray
Schalk, but not quite, uncorked a
wild heave into left field in futile at
tempt to catch Burg off third. Joe
romped home and Thompson startled
the Cubs by chasing to third on the
play. The Cubs thought Ty Cobb
had rung in on them when they saw
Shag negotiate third as we'll as Sec
ond.
Then Marty Krug busted a single
to right and Thompson counted.
The Cubs put over run in the fifth
on hit and steal by Schick and
single by Hunter, but this only served
to urge the Rourkes on. They
marked again in the sixth when Shag
Thompson beat out bunt. was sacri-
feed to second, took third on
passed ball and scored on Brottem's
single to center.
Cecil Makes Long Run. .
Brokaw singled to open the sew
enth. He was forced at second by
Cecil Thompson, after which Cecil
gave an exhibition of long distance
sprinting by tearing all the way home
on Burg's double to left.
The Cubs scored their other run in
the eighth on hits by Benton and
Schick and Marty Krug's error.
Marty O'Toole hurled the first
five innings of the game in fine style.
Cecil Thompson pitched just as good
ball during the tail-end four frames.
Hal Brokaw leaped into the spotlight
BY catching couple of long foul
tiIes to left in sensational fashion
after lorg runs.
