Hurt Under Falling Walls.

Saturday morning as S. w. We'd
dington and Harold Barker were
digging ditch along the base OF the
wall that was left standing when the
Courtney building was burned some
time ago, the wall suddenly gave way
and they were buried under mass
of bricks and mortar. Wellington
was at first thought to be badly
hurt, but an examination disclosed
that his injuries consisted OF painful
bruises all over his body. Barker
suffered sprained ankle with torn
ligaments and is only able to walk
with the aid of crutches. Both men
can consider themselves fortunate
that they were not killed or at least
seriously injured.
The walls and debris was being re-
moved to make way for a new build
ing that the owner of the lot will inn
medately erect.

QUOTED
Afraid to Espouse Germany, After u.
S. Entered War, Envoy
Declared.

Washington, D. C., March 2o.-Ir
an address published in the final edi.
tion of the Record of the last Con-
gress, Representative Alvin T. Fuller
of Massachusetts,, describes All inter
view with M. Delaney French AM
bassador to Japan, and attributes to
the bassador the statement that
Japan was not sincerely pro-Ally, but
intended to support Germany until a
Japanese mission learned how whole
heariedly America was going into
| the war.
Fuller's remarks, printed under the
privilege accorded members to insert
in The Record speeches not actually
delivered on the floor, concerned
primarily abuses of the Thanking
privilege. Turning from that sub
ject, he told, at length of a visit to
Europe shortly after the armistice
was signed.
My tNp across the water was TN
eventful," he wrote. Il found my
fellow-passenger a most delightful
person, who was no other than, M.
Delaney, the French Ambassador to
Japan.
Il took occasion to ask the AM
bassador if, as result of his obser-
Walton, the Japanese were sincerely
pro-Ally. To this inquiry the AM
bassador replied very definitely, no,
SIR and inquired, Who in the world
thought they were sincerely pro-
Ally
Ambassador Delaney stated to
me that the Japanese intended to
support Germany, but after their
commission visited here and saw how
Fundamentally we were going into
the war they were afraid to do SO.
Ambassador Delaney stated. that
he sailed from Japan to Vancouver,
and when the party arrived and
learned the news that Austria had
surrendered, the Japanese members
OF the party were visibly disappoint-
ed.
He likened the Emperor and the
military caste OF Japan to that OF
Germany. He said their methods
and ideas and ideals were identical
with those of Germany.

When the sheriff of Barton coun-
ty was shot and killed few days
ago by an escaping prisoner a short
age of county officers in that coun-
ty got things into queer tangle.
For some reason there was no coun-
ty coroner to hold the inquest and
as the law provides that upon the
death of a sheriff the coroner shall
perform the duties of the office until
the next election, nothing could be
done until the governor appointed a
coroner who at once became ex-of-
ficio sheriff.

been appreciated. He has been given
the highest position on the ball club,
and, although he will have tough sail
ing for z time. he will pull through.
The Phils are not in the best of
shape Mt present. They have made the
worst showing of any Philadelphia club
in history, losing twenty four of the
last twenty nine games. Coombs worked
hard and increasingly, but for some rea =
son did not get results.
Coombs Popular
Jack Coombs leaves the club as one
Of the most popular managers it ever
has had. He hasn't single enemy.
Every man is proud to call him his
friend. The players worked hard for
him, did their best in every game. but
the best apparently was not good
enough.
President Baker appointed Coombs
last winter after Pat Moran had been
released. Coombs was named because
he looked like wonderful manager and
close student of baseball 1t may be
that Mr.. Baker made mistake and
again he may not. Perhaps if Coombs
had remained the entire season some
results would have been shown, but it
is hard for man to step in and make
good his first year.
But we are going on record now in
predicting great success for Gavvy
Cravath. He has proved his worth as
a player and will continue as the only
playing manager in the major leagues.
