Basket Ball

Vashon high school basket ball
team ionrneyed to Renion last
Saturday night and went down to
defeat nj the hands of the Renion
high boys The score was Renton
81, Vashon 10. The Vashon boys
held them down the first half to
10 all but in the last session the
locals were completely outclasscd.
With shift IN the lineup for the
last half, Renton went in TO win
the game. Talk about running IL

son at Vashon will come to close
Friday night, when the Midgets
will play the grade school team at

prove fast and interesting game.
The Vashon boys have gone
down TO defeat in every game this
season, except the alumni game,
which we won by a score Of 33 to
"a. But we have had a successful
season despite our losses. We be.
gan the season with bunch of
green material and worked mp a
team that is in condition at pres.
ent to hold their own with any
high school team Of their size. We
had no coach, and only the same
little cheese box (Y. NJ. c. A. hall)
to play in. Most of the time only
five players on the floor, or at the
most two subs, which made good
practice impossible. But, O, Boy !
you II have TO watch our smoke
next year we will have the same
team back, more students TO pick
from, and III all probability a
coach, which will mean a lot to MS.
Another feature Of this years
basket ball season is, that girls
team was put on the floor. This
is the first girls team the high
school has had for some time. SO
next year. with two fast teams in

JOE HOPES KILLED IN A
PORTSMOUTH Steel PLANT
Maysyllle Man Dies When Struck In
the Head by Heavy Piece Of
Steel This M0rnlng-Had Been
Working In Steel Mills.

Word was received here at noon
that Joseph Hopes, son Of Mrs. Mary
e. Hopes, Of East Front street, had
been killed in Portsmouth, Ohio, and
that his body would be brought to
this city for burial.
Full particulars as to how Mr..
Hopes met his death are lacking at
this time but 1t has been learned that
he was struck in the head by heavy
piece Of steel in one-of Portsmouth s
large steel plants, where he has been
working for some time.
Joe Hopes was well known and
well liked in Maysville. He spent the
most Of his life here and was an in
dustrious and clever young man. Since
going to Portsmouth some time ago
he had become quite skilled in a steel
plant and was filing splendid posi-
tion when he met with the accident
which caused his death
The remains will be brought tc

TOBACCO PRICE FOR
PAST Week SHOWS
DECREASE OF $6.A
Low Grade Of Tobacco Is Responsible
For Decrease In Average Price
Supervisor Mitchell Says in
Weekly Report.

During the week closed Friday the
Maysville loosleaf tobacco market
sold a total of 2,555,255 pounds at a
general average of $35.05 a hundred
pounds according to the weekly re-
port of Supervisor William Mitchell
made public this afternoon. The
cause of the decrease in price is that
the offerings during the week were Of
an inferior quality according to Mr..
Mitchell.
This report shows a decrease in the
number of pounds sold from last week
as well as a decrease in average price
of 1914 per hundred pounds. Better
tobacco and therefore a better price
is expected for next week, Mr.. Mitch
ell says.
The report follows:
The Maysville Tobacco Market dur
ing the week ending Friday, February
IA, sold a total of 2,555,255 pounds at
general average of s35.O5. This is
a decrease of $6.44 per hundred
pounds under the weekly average for
last week and this decrease is due
largely to the inferior quality of to-
bacco delivered during the week. Dur
ing the last part of the week it was a
very poor market with receipts small
but during next week more tobacco and
a better quality is expected which will
insure an increase in price. Up to
the present time the Maysville mar
ket has sold a total of 18,848,690
pounds of tobacco.

Cincinnati Detective Positively Identifies Man
Arrested Here As Albert {. Thompson

1t will be remembered that the body
found cut to pieces and placed In
sacks in an unoccupied house on West
Fourth street in Cincinnati was identi-
fed as that of Thompson by Salvation
Army officials and by means Of laun-
dry mark on the underwear. This
laundry mark was the figures "S14".
After the Salvation Army officials said
they felt certain the body found was
that of Thompson, it was learned that
Thompson had been patient in st.
Frances Hospital in Hamilton, Ohio,
some time before and inquiring at this
hospital the Cincinnati authorities
learned that his laundry mark there
was "314". This seemed to positively
identify the body as that of Thompson
and at the request Of the family the
dismembered body was shipped to his
home in Indiana.
When questioned here this morning
about lending any of his clothes to an
other, Thompson said that he had
loaned no clothes except coat which
had been part of Culver Military
Academy uniform. This, he said, he
loaned to a man in Cincinnati last
week who never returned it. He re-
membered nothing about lending any
of his underwear to anyone.
The body which was supposed to
have been that of Thompson was re-
ceived in Roselawn, Ind, by relatives
yesterday and as soon as they saw The
face, they said it was not their rela-
tive. About the time the Cincinnati
police received this message from In
diana, they received message from
Maysville informing them that a man
giving the name of Albert E. Thomp-
son was under arrest here and Detec-
tive Wank was sent to Maysville to
see If the man held here was really
Albert E. Thompson.
The identification made here this
morning deepens Cincinnati's big
murder mystery and the problem for

POULTRYSHOWW WILL
COME TO A CLOSE
THIS EVENING
Show Has Been Wonderful Success
In Every Way-Poultry Enthus-
lasts Now Planning For
Germantown Fair.

The second annual Mason County
Poultry show comes to close Satur-
day night with very attractive pro-
gram that will attract a large num-
ber of city people. The country peo-
pie attended the show well during the
day Saturday and although the wealth
er was very disagreeable there was
much interest shown all during the
day
The show has proven to be much
greater success than ever the promo
ters had hoped for. The first show
was held in connection with the Corn
and Tobacco Fair last year but be-
cause this fair came when the city
and county was in the midst of an in
fuenza epidemic and was postponed
the poultry association officials did
not think they should let their show
60 by the board, however, and they
arranged this independent showing.
All during the week there have been
good crowds and the birds which have
been on display were far above the or
dinary and attracted much favorable
comment from the visiting experts
who said they were as good as could
be seen at many state fairs.
This evening a special music pro.
gram will be given by Young's Or
chestra and as this is the last oppor-
tunity for the city people they should
crowd the large building all evening
The show is absolutely free no charge
being made for anything.
