DRAFT MAY NOT

No Ruling to Be Made Until
One Case Is Appealed to

morning in answer to myriad in

appealed 70 the Provost Marshal
Generals office.
Secretary Baker explained that the
status OF baseball players had been
discussed before the regulation was
approved. and it was agreed that the
question could not be disposed of
until all the facts relating 10 the ef-
feet upon the baseball business had
been brought out through the hear
ing OF a case appealed from local
board.
The secretary did not profess to
know how seriously application of
the rule to professional ball players
would affect the leagues. He did
not know that q large majoritj Of the
major league players were Of draft
age and were exempted only be-

that most of them were outside the

other attendants, engaged in and oc-
cupied in. and in connection with

In one OF the best games Of the
season, Rosewood won a 2-to-1 de-
cision over Hick-A-Thrift last even
ing in an Allison Hill contest. Cur
ley Longenecker made his debut for
the "Hickies" and excepting the first
inning pitched a splendid game,
striking out nine batters. His one
difficulty was in locating the plate.
While rltns were at a premium,
Rosewood won the game in the very
rrst time at bat, when Killinger was
given his base on balls. W. Sheaffer
doubled. and Geary's drive scored
KillinEer. Bender's sacrifice sent
Sheaffer across the plate with what
proved TO be the winning run. For
the next six innings the "Rosies'
were BANKED.
Griffin made the lone tally for the
washburn aggrega ton in the fourth,
He singled to right center and went
10 second on Bender's error. Har-

MIKE BELL is
HEARD FROM
Writes to Captain J. J. McGar
ry From Hopewell, Va.
Letter Dispels Any Thought of His
Being Disloyal

Mike Bell. the wrestler, has been
heard from Mike was getting quite
a local reputation both with the
gloves and at the mat game when he
suddenly disappeared with the carni-
val troupe that appeared here about a
year ago. He registered for the draft
but as he has not been heard from
since. was classed as a deserter. In
all probability Mike will be taken in
to custody and indicted into the ser
vice, as the arms of the draft law
are long
But the temperance of Mike dis
pels any Thoughts Of his being the Mike
Bell that was arrested in California
some time ago for plotting in some
way against the government or its of
feers. While few if any of Mikes
friends believed that he was disloyal,
the matter was given some publicity
by some newspapers circulating in
Putnam, and it is only fair that the
truth be made known now.
The letter Mike wrote to Captain
MeGarry is as follows:
Il registered in Putnam last June
and have never received my question
naire. | thought maybe. as | have
been all around with the carnival, my
papers were sent there, and as you
were the captain. that you could tell
me what to do. | have not got any
class card at all, so if you can tell
me anything it sure will be appreci-
ated. | am in Hopewell for while. j"
Captain McGarry informed the To-
cal exemption board of Mikes where
abouts and the matter will be taken

If SILENCE Is GOLDEN EDDIE
JOHNSON is A MILLIONAIRE


If Silence is golden" Edward
Johnson (colored) is a rich young
man. Eddie would never be called a
''hot air merchant" or be accused of
monopolizing the conversation. 1t
was partly due to Master Edward s
loathing to use his tongue and other
organs. to coin words, that got him
into court. Monday morning.
Mrs. Sandy Johnson, mother of a
family of twelve, of whom six are liv-
ing, told the court that Edward was
the only son and heir among them. He
went to school and reached the eighth
grade, but left to learn textile work
at the Trade Shop Edward was new
er strong with the talk, but since last
February, his mother said, he has
scarcely said word. Not only did he
refuse to palaver, but he didn't like it
when others INDUCED in repartee and
would leave the house. Along with
his refusal to answer questions or to
tell why he hated the sound of his
own voice, ne developed similar dis
inclination to work. Mrs. johnson
thought that it was about time that
Edward did something or said some
thing, and as she could not make him
do either she called on the police and

The Putnam Light & Power Com
pany has announced that on and af-
ter June 21st there will be an adj
vance in the price of gas. Fuel gas
is advanced rs cents per thousand,
but Illuminating gas is decreased Is
cents per thousand.
On and after the above date all gas
will be measured on one meter at a
fiat rate of $170 per thousand feet
with discount Of 10 cents per thou
sand feet on bills paid on or before
the tenth of the month, making net
rate of S160.
Heretofore, fuel gas has been S1.35
per thousand net, and this will now
be S1.60 net, while Illuminating gas,
heretofore sI85. is decreased to
81 80 net
In speaking Of the advance, Wed
nesday, Ralph f. Thurston, manager
of the company, said eve are forced
to make the advance on account of
the high cost of production. The adj
vance has been contemplated for
some time. Putnam is one Of the last
places 10 advance rates We have
been forced to do it by the high price
of the commodities we use in gas
manufacture. For instance, take
coal. Where we formerly paid s4.sz

have advanced in proportion to say
nothing Of the advanced wages paid

''These prices, Mr. Thurston said,
"are temporary. II the prices OF
commodities used by us 20 down, we
will reduce the price of gas. On the
other hand, if prices advance mater
tally we shall be forced to make an
other advance in the price Of our pro
duct. We feel that, owing TO the high
price of coal, in all probability much
more gas will be used by the house
holder next winter. With the new
rate in effect gas heater may be put
in any room in the home without adj.
ditional cost, as the service all over
the house will be at the same rate
where heretofore IL one put a gas
heater in room other than where il
was piped for the fuel meter, the il
Eliminating price was paid"
Mr.. Thurston further said that thu
prevailing price Of s1.35 for fuel ga,
was entirely too low. and that Put
nam citizens have long had the bene
/ fit Of this low price.

Edward was arrested as an incorrigi-
Bile.
If Mrs. Johnson thought that the
city court officials or the police could
make Edwards power of speech go to
work she found out her mistake in
court Monday morning. During the
time he was locked up Sunday eve
ming and the time that court adj
journed Monday morning sound came
from Eddie's lips exactly four times.
once when he shook the bars in his
cell and asked how he could get out.
and three times in court when he said
yes twice and no once. He also re-
fused to eat his breakfast, although
his mother said he was a good worker
with knife and fork at home.
Edward is II years old, too old to
go to the Connecticut School for
Boys, else he would have been sent
there. Even to save himself from be-
ing sent away Edward refused to un-
lock his closed lips and it was only
that the court did not want to send
the boy to jail that he is a free agent.
The case was continued for six
months and Edward was placed in the
hands of Peter Gardner, probation of
fiieer. How the p o. will hold con-
verse with his ward will have to be
left to the officer
