New Jurist on Job;
Hands Down Finding:

Philadelphia. - Justice Alexander
Simpson, Jr., is displaying the same
characteristic dispatch on the bench
as he evinced at the bar.
Although he has been a member of
the Supreme Court but little more
than a week, he handed down three
decision this week, the first of his
career as a jurist.
Justice Simpsons first decision
against a suit brought by taxpayer
against the Borough of Berwick
which did not, as the law requires,
have for its purpose the common in
terest of the community In decid-
ing against the taxpayer he said:
"A taxpayers bill is essentially a
class bill and can only, be filed in the
common interest of all taxpayers of
a municipality to prevent the wrong
full expenditure of the money of a
municipality or wasting of it's assets.
This bill, however, is not filed to pre-
vent the expenditure of the money
of the municipality, but to compel its
expenditure for the benefit of the
plaintiff and other property owners
on the said streets improved"
Next Judge Simpson had to decide
on the case of man, blind in one
eye, who had ran in front of a motor
car to board a trolley, and had been
knocked down. The lower court had
found the injured man negligent and
this was affirmed by the new justice
in deciding in favor of the defendant.
1t found in favor of damages for the
plaintiff, however, in the third and
last case, that of a man injured by a
trolley car.

BOITO, A NOTED
COMPOSER, DEAD
Italian Musician and Post
Was Friend of Verdi
and Hugo

Miian-Senator Arrigo Boito. &C
years old, musical composer and
poet, died suddenly this week. His
most noted work was the opera
"Metistofele."
Born in Padua in 1912, Boito was
the son of an Italian painter and a
Polish woman. Although educated
as musician at the Royal Conserv-
atory of Music at Milan, where he
made his home the greater part of
his life, he early manifested a liking
for literature.
In his youth Boito contributed
much to Italian newspapers. His
literary bent also brought him to the
notice of Victor Hugo, who tried in
vain to get him to establish himself
in Paris as a man of letters.
Later Boito became the librettist
of Verdi, and their friendship was
only terminated by the latter's death
For Verdi he wrote the libretto OF
"Otello." "Falstaff' and other poems
He also wrote some poems and a
novel, "L'Alfier Memo"
The greatest work of Boito was
"Mefistofele," first produced in 1868
at La Scala, Milan, as a feature OF
the annual carnival. 1t caused such
a violent controversy the police re-
fused to permit its repetition.
In 1875, rewritten in a form more
suitable to the operate stage. "Mefis-
tofele" was revived at Bologna, and
has been given the world over.

out in front of the American League
hitting last week, just passing the
phenomenal Sisler. Frank Baker,
who has been picked to head the
list when the season ends, held his
own pretty we'll and will take some
beating. In the National League the
old favorite Larry Doyle, with his
fifteen games is still "champeen"
though Allen, of Cincinnati, is really
ahead of him now. The clubbing of
Fred Merkle is the talk of the lea
que, for Merkle was supposed to have
seen his best days. Time was when
the whole baseball world condemned
this chap for his famous blunder
that lost the rag for the Giants and
gave it to the Cubs. 1t took him
years to get over his disgrace, but
he has come back with a vengeance
Among the pitchers who have an
average of 200 or over, Big Jim
Vaughn has worked in thirteen
games, winning ten, the best record
he ever made, ami he. too is a cast
of. OF course, Earl Hamilton, with
six wins and no defeats beats him in
percentage. The averages of men IN
the National, hitting over 800 are

THOUSANDS SEE
STEELTON WIN
Eddie Plank at His Best in
Great Overflow Jubilee
at Cottage Hill

An. enthusiastic crowd of over
5000 saw Steelton beat Lebanon on
Saturday at Cottage Hill by the score
of 81. The fans. many of them very
critical and hard to please, had to
admit that the Steel League did just
what it promised, introduce big
league baseball into small cities. The
exhibition of Saturday displayed
Eddie Plank at his best, for which
superb craft he bombarded the Leb-
anon batters with willy curves, the
treacherous slow ball and now and
then sent over a speeder. 1t was high
art in pitching and the multitude of
watchful rooters could relish the en-
tertainment. The next league show
will not take place until July 4, when
a real symposium will be set forth
with Wilmington and its bunch of
stars as the attraction in the game.
Meanwhile there will be some mid
week contests played on Thursdays,
which are we'll worth seeing. To show
how hungry this community is for
high class baseball, it need only be
said that many could not be accom-
modated on Saturday though the
stands and bleachers have both been
enlarged.
In addition to PIank's clever twirl-
ing the Steelton leaguers of expert
ence toed the mark and gossip has 1t
that there will be a shakeup in this
club to the end that the whole team
be standardized. Steve Yerkes, again
showed his value, scoring in the sec
ond after rapping out a two-hagger.
Stutz and Neill were other prom
inent players in this battle. Jack
knight, the schoolboy wonder, was
on the bench, but his two weeks will
not be up for some days. He will be
on the job for July 1. Bud" Weiser
pulled q couple OF phenomenal stunts
in the field, robbing Marhefka of a
long hit with a one-hand grab, but
his batting was far from the record
he made recently of five hits.
On the Lebanon team We're noticed
LaLonge, formerly of the American
Association and of the Toronto team.
International League; Lefty" Buck
les, of the Scranton team of the New
York State League; Mowery, Cincin-
natl Reds, and Brooklyn player;
Darlington. formerly with the Read
ing Tri-State team; Mcconnell, of the
Boston Americans; Trout, of the In
ternatiCs al League, and Clauser of
the York Tri-State League team.

French and a German plane. They
chased them home faster than they
came over. They stand no show with
us. Once in a while they send a
shell over, but 1t doesn't get any of
us. 1t only makes little hole in
the ground, a hole that you could
drive four-horse team in and you
couldn't see 1t.
the shells and bullets are not to
be afraid of. 1t is the gas they
send over. but for that we have the
gas masks to save us, so, you see, it
is pretty hard for them to get US.
The only way they can get US is
when We are asleep, but that we
won't do When we go to bed we
sleep with one eye open.

They go over No Mans Land to the
