Japan and Baseball.

japanese, according to one Of them,
recently travelling in America, are
making all their baseballs by hand, not
yet having perfected any machinery
fer manufacturing them. This so
journer, who is a mechanical expert,
was much interested, while on his trip.
in learning the method by which the
balls are made. The playing Of the
game in Japan, says this traveller, Is
widespread. A few years ago two OF
the japanese universities sent teams
to the United States, where they en-
gagged in competition with American
university mines. Their ability was
marked, and their craftsmanship ex-
cellent. The common interest of the
people Of the two nations in this sport
has been recognized as possible
source of increased understanding be-
tween them.

WATER FED FIRE
Case Where Liquid Was of No
Use to Quench Flames.
Metallic Sodium in Vessels Hold
Merely Blazed More Fiercely az
Streams From Fire Hose
Reached 1t.

It is said that, for the most part,
water if applied in sufficient quantities
will eventually Quench any fire. In
some cases, however, water not only
proves Intellectual but actually kindles
and nourishes the fire.
When a freighter, the Hardy,
steamed out of LIE Treport, France,
some years ago she carried, besides
the mineral water in her hold. mum"
ber Of small wooden cases marked
metallic sodium"
Now, the channel was rough. The
vessel rolled and pitched violently.
The captain saw that the ship was list
ing to port, and suspecting that the
cargo was shifting, sent a boatsWaln
below to investigate. AS the boat
swain entered the hold he saw that
several cases of mineral water had
broken and that the water was swish
ing about in the hold. Then suddenly
he saw one of the wooden cases
marked sodium burst into fame.
Immediately he gave the alarm, and
the crew rushed to their fire stations.
The captain directed the men to turn
the hose into the hold. AS the first
stream of water struck the burning
case there were several explosions as
package after package within the case
caught fire. By this time two other
cases of sodium had broken open, and
their contents, as they came in con-
tact with the water from the hose,
burst into flame.
The crew could not believe their
eyes. The more water they poured on
the fire, the more intense grew the
conhagration. Then suddenly two
cases few into the air, crashed against
the overhead beams and spread out In
sheets Of fire, the smaller pieces drop
ping back only to bounce and dance
about, huge balls of flame in the half
swamped hold.
The superstitious crew was fast, be-
coming unmanageable, and the captain
saw that in any case he must abandon
the ship. He ordered the crew to the
boats not a moment too soon, for as
the boats rowed away from the blazing
hulk several loud explosions came from
the hold. Then there was one mighty
detonation; the freighter broke in two
and plunged out Of sight.

The superior court for Washington
 county, which has been in session at
 Kingston the past week, will come in at
 Westerly today (Monday), Judge Simmer
 presiding. The first case assigned for
 trial is state of Rhode Island against
 Charles Bailey, indicted on the charge of
 murder in shooting his brother, Edgar
 A. Bailey. The court assigned Attorney
 4. T. L. Ledwidge of Westerly as coun-
 sel for the accused last Friday. It is
 therefore probable that MT. Ledwidge
 may ask for a few days more time to
 prepare the defense.
 The shooting occurred on the night ol
 Oct. 23 in the Bailey home off Hobart
 street. Charles Bailey came home late
 and found his mother who is 80, and his
 brother Edgar. 56. seated in the kitchen.
 Charles, who Is 59, was in an intoxicated condition. There were some words of criticism and Charles took the lantern,
 went up to his room and soon returned
 with his revolver. He had returned to
 the kitchen but short while when the revolver was discharged Edgar cried "I'm shot 70 Charles said "I'rr sorry Get q doctor, quick Charles then left the house.
 pr. Henry L. Juhnson was summoned. called the ambulance of the Westerly Sanitary corps, and Edgar Bailey was taken to the Lawrence Memorial Asso- ciated hospitals where he died three days later. The first notice the Westerly po- lice received of the shooting was when Dr. Johnson telephoned the information from the New London hospital.
 about there weeks later was captured in | Maine. The shooting was on a Saturday night and, according to Bailey, who had spent two nights in the woods, he rode to Providence in a motor truck the fol- lowing Monday. He took a train from there to Boston, where he spent day, and then proceeded to Maine, where he had lived before coming to Westerly two years ago.
 Two days after the shooting Coroner Everett 4. Kingsley resigned aIN there was no official resignation until the ap- pointment of John Ferguson Jr., on the first Monday of the present month. With Police Chief Brown, the coroner obtained the names of places in Maine where | Bailey had resided or did business as a horse trader. With this vague informa- 1 tion, Chief Brown, accompanied by Spe- cial Officer Max Reithal. in the latter's automobile, started Saturday, Nov. 6, for Portland, and arrived in that city the same night With the aid of Portland police, the livery stables of that city | were visited, but there was no trace of | Bailey.
 1 The Westerly officers were advised to 1 drive to Yarmouth, 60 miles distant, and i consult with Deputy Sheriff George 1 Gerow, who has the reputation of know 1 ing the haunts of every horse trader ir | that section of the state. MT. Gerow was
 consulted and the search was begun fol Walker. The trail led to Bowdoinham
 and the service of Deputy Sheriff Rober Jack was enlisted. Finally Bailey wa. located at the Tom Allen place in Bow doinhan. The house was surrounded | When Sherifn Jack attempted to enter ths house by the back door, Bailey bolted ou | of the front door ard ran for the tai
