Must Rrlnn Body to Port.

The first litigation over burial at
sea has been decided, according to
Case and Comment. The decision
holds that steamship company which
embalms the body Of passenger who
dies on a voyage toward his home
country is bound to transport the body
to port and deliver it to those entitled
to its possession for burial, and is IL
able in damages in case it buries the
body at sea. The court said:
"At the time of the burial at sea the
body could have been carried to port
without injurious effect, Had the
steamship been passing through the
harbor of New York and approaching
its dock, it could scarcely be said that
the defendant would be justified in
casting the body into the water, from
whence it 'could not be reclaimed,
thereby depriving the next kin of the
solace Of giving the body a decent
burial"

Statistics Show That Old Time Fly
chasers Had Shade on Present
Day Flelders In Throwing Out
Base Runnera

During the season OF 1898 George
Van Haltren Of the New York Giants
in game against the Washington club
was playing center field. Cy Swain,
who was pitching for the Senators,
while at bat happened to make what
/ looked like safe drive TO center. Nine
times out of ten II would have gone
safe, but Van made mad dash and
gathered II In on the second bound and
without stopping threw to first, the
ball beating the slow-footed Swain by
Il good six feet, and Cy was sprlnting
his best all the time. or course Van
didn't perform this stunt right along.
Statistics show that the Outflelders
back In the SOS and '90s had shade
on the present day outfielders In max
ing assists. The best record in num-
ber of assists made in one season In
the majors in recent years, or since
1900, was stacked up by Harry Niles
when with the st. Louis Cardinals i'm
1906. Harry nailed 80 men from the
outfield, getting them at different
bases.
Mike Mitchell, while playing with
the Cincinnati team, equaled the mark
set by Niles, heading Off 30 men by
his power to shoot n ball from the
furthest corner of the outfield with
sufficient accuracy and speed to get
his man. Ty Cobb, Joe Birmingham,
Iris Speaker. Joe Jackson and Milan
Of Washington all have made especial
ly good records in this direction and
lead their respective teams in throw

Jimmy Ryan of the Chicago Nation
ais left handed though he was, could

Of the outfield with deadly effect. Bill
Lange had Il wonderful throwing arm
and was feared by all base runners in
the National league.
The great Mike Kelly, back in 1885,
when with Chicago Nationals, made
the greatest record in throwing out
base runners from the outfield. Mike,
by fair means or foul, pegged out 90
men in 67 games.

USED FOLLOW THROUGH

Following through! This has
been the slogan in golf, cricket,
tennis, billiards, punting and In
batting and now Christy Ma
thewson is shouting it at his re-
cruit pitchers.
According to the one-time
Master Moundsman," all the
great pitchers of the national
game who have stretched their
careers over 10, so many seasons,
have used the 'follow through"
AS vivid examples, Matty names
such pitching princes as Cy
Young, Eddie Plank, Addie Joss
and Bill Donovan, men who per-
fected a free arm delivery that
distributed the strain of twlrling
over almost all of the muscles
of the body.
Matty asserts that there Is
only one prominent exception to
the rule and that one Is Nap
Rucker, who lasted ten years I'M

delivery. The big Reds boss be-
lieves the sOuthpaw would have
heightened his career had he

Frank Walker, the Central league
slugger, whom the Tigers tried to
waive out of the big show during the
winter, only to be blocked by the Chi
cagO Cubs, now seems to have won
the outfield utility berth with the De-

Catcher William Killefer of the
Cubs has been placed in class by the
district draft board and is subject to
immediate call. He registered origin
ally in Van Buren county, Michigan.
The county board placed Killefer in
class 4-A on the ground of having a
dependent, as Killefer was married
October 8 last. The government con-
tested the case and the district board
unanimously overruled the former
classification.

GLASS FOUND

Pulyerized glass was found in the
bottom of a cup of coffee in GER
tain place last Friday, which caused
considerable excitement. The only
feasible way for it to get there was
by being put in the sugar. An in
yestigation Of the bin where the su-
gar was taken from disclosed the
fact that the entire bin OF sugar
contained quite quantity of small
particles of glass, and from the fact
it was well distributed through the
sugar, and no large pieces, would
tend to show it was purpcsely placed
there. The Mayor and City Marshal
at once made an investigation Of the
sugar at the various stores, but
found no trace Of glass except in
this one place 1t would be advisable
for every one to make a thorough
examination OF sugar before using it.

PROFESSIONALISM
GIVES ADDRESS
PAYETTE COUNTY ORCANIzb-
TON OF COUNCIL OF
NATIONAL DEFENSE.

One of the best and most enthus
fsstic addresses on the war situa
t4on We have ever listened to was
given Monday evening at the Court
room in Fayette by Professor Han
sen, Secretary Of the State organi-
zation CT Council Of National De-
Tense His mission here was to
awaken the people of Payette Coun-
ty to the realization that we must
have a County organization which
was at this time put well under way.
Professor Hansen is without a
question a very impressive speaker.
His address was short, but in it
were some cold facts that cannot be
denied; and the sooner the people
of the United States become awak-
ened to the Tcall truth and the q
ties that are Cnyo.ved upon them
as set out in Mr.. Hansen's speech,
the sooner the war will end. He says
We must sacrifice in many ways in
order to supply the demands of the
Nation We must not only feed our
soldiers but must furnish food for
the foreign nations who are assist
ing us in this great war. We must
assist in the finance through the pur-
chase of bonds, war stamps and 9th
er means or be taxed to meet the de-
mands. In his speech he mentioned
the lies which were being circulated
bp Pro Germans regarding The missap
preparation of the Red Cross and the
Y. NJ. C. n. funds, that thcse lies
must be stamped out. We only wish
that more of the Payette County peo-
pie could have heard Professor Han
sen.
1t was unanimous that Payette
