wide drive to induce residents of Lou

Mayor George w. Smith has given
the movement semi-official endorse
ment BY announcing his adherence and
Mrs. Smith has promised that her
household win be conducted so near as
possible along the lines of economy
suggested by the promoters OF the
idea.
The drive against reckless buying is
headed by Rev. Charles w. WEIGH,
president of the Louisville Ministerial
association. who is aided by commit

L4LKIN SENTENCED
TO FIVE YEARS
Irish Agitator Is Sent to State Prison
and Hard Labor--Motions for
New Trial Denied.

New York, May 4.--Extraordinary
precautions were taken yesterday when
James j. Iarkin, an Irish agita-
tor convicted last week of criminal
anarchy, was sentenced to five to ten
years in state prison with hard labor.
Il find nothing in the record of this
case or In any facts that have been
brought to my attention to indicate
that the full penalty of the law should
not be imposed" said Supreme Court
Justice Weeks, who denied motions
for a new trial and arrest of judg-
ment.
Larkin. who FLASHED several times
with the court while conducting his
own defense, took his sentence quietly.
bowling to Justice Weeks he said: Il
thank you sir"
Fifteen detectives and several dep
uties guarded the court room which
was filled with LArkin sympathizers.
Names and addresses of spectators
were taken at the door. Men were
searched. Several were excluded for at
tempting a boisterous demonstration
and one young woman was rebuked by
the court when she rose and attempted
TO take Larkin's hand as he was led
away.

URGES SALE OF GERMAN SHIPS
Brazilian President Thus would End
Controversy With France.

Rio Janeiro. May 3.--Sale Of former
German ships which were seized by
Brazil during the war was urged by
President Pessoa in his message to
Congress to-day. A controversy over
some of these vessels has arisen be
tween this country and France.
Twenty eight OF these steamers were
borrowed by France. and the president
said France was non-committal. when
asked hv Brazil IL she desired to pur-
chase the ships on the same terms as
were offered by North American firms.
He said France. in a note received on
March p. requested a renewal Of the
loan agreement between the two coun-
tries and suggested that the question
o. the German ships be le.u in sbey-
ance until settled by the reparations
commission.
Brazil replied the president said,
that the ownership Of the steamers was
setfied bv the Versailles treaty and rs-
fused TO renew its loan TO France. At
the same time she asked that country
10 return the ships to Brazilian bar
bors. No response has IS yet been re-
crived from Paris.

speed, but his control was not up TO
his normal quality and for this reason
the visiting team gained three scores
that could not be equalled by the
home team. Bobby Nicora, a south
nav from right field, took the mound
after Bizzozzero.
From the first to the sixth inning,
the game had been really interesting,
Spaulding being tied with her opponent
until the early part of the fifth, when
two more scores were tackled up for
the seminary nine. Again in the sixth,
three more scores literally put the
game on ice and the lock on the ice-box.
And the lock was on to stay, despite
''Put" Calderara's home-run drove TO
left field. which drove in G. Douglas
from second base.
The light of hope was still burning
in the desires of the school-spirited
spectators all the while and flared up
when Put waited the ball for a
homer" Here were two more scores
for the low side, and still another was
gained in the ninth off Wards faltering
delivery, but he had the stamina to ae-
complish three strike outs in the last
inning. so the little light of hope was
blown ont with the third man flaming
the breezes.'
This was not a league game for
Spaulding. but rather a practice game.
However, the seminary team conformed
with the schoolmasters' rules to meet
this high school team and was repre-
scented by favorable team, despite the
absence of two of the best players.

! REGRET PRESIDENTS
STATEMENT ON FIUME'
Prominent Men Protest "at the Rehec-
ton Recently Made by the Pres
ident Upon Our Ancient
Ally, France"

Washington, d. c., May 4.-Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the Repub-
lican leader, read into the Senate Rec
ord yesterday declaration signed by
number of prominent men expressing
regret "at the reflections recently made
by the president upon our ancient ally,
France, and upon Italy" The dec
laration referred to President Wilson's
recent statement on the Fiume ques-
ton. in which he said +" militaristie
party" had come into power in France.
Signers of the declaration included
Charles j. Bonaparte, former atEor-
ney general; Joseph II. Choate, David
Jayne Hill, Myron T. Herrick, former
ambassador to France; Henry Waiter
son, Moorfeld Storey of Boston and
William Fellowes Morgan, president OF
the New York Merchants association
The text of the declaration follows;
"The undersigned share the regret
expressed in the United States at the
reflections recently made by the presi-
dent upon our ancient ally, France,
who bore the brunt of the late war
from the outset as well as OF previous
assaults, and upon Italy, whose saeri-
fees in the late war entitle her to re-
spect Such public criticism Of friend
ly and allied nations is not warranted
and it affects adversely our relations
with nations whose interest in peace Is
equal to our own. Precautions against
the recurrence Of armed inyasions TAX
en- by the victims of repeated German
aggression are justified and the deter
mining by them Of what defensive pre-
cautions are dictated by experience is
not proper basis. for denunciation.'

After being compelled to postpone
three games because of rainy weather
the Spaulding baseball nine defied the
weather man over in Mortified yester-
day afternoon to send any rain, for
they were all bent upon game with
Montpelier "Sem," rain or shine. The
powerful master of elements darkened
the sky with heavy, black clouds all
during the time "Tubby" Ward was
pitching himself to IA victory over
Spaulding. Plumbers, you know, don't
work after o'clock, SO the rain had
to stay up in the clouds cause the lever
was broke and that man up IN the
mountains of Mortified couldn't tap
the water out of the clouds. Neverthe-
less. he cut loose few north winds
that nearly swept the spectators from
the bleaehers. These bleachers are nei-
Their sun, rain nor windproof, and de-
serve the title justly. A leather medal
to the man who named them!
But those bleaehers, turned on an
angle as they were to give the specta
tors an excellent view of the entire
field without turning, neither won nor
lost the game. 1t was errors and lax
pitching that lost il, errors that came
at the critical moment and pitching
that is generally the brand at the first
game of the year. Spaulding has an
entirely new string of twirlers this

make times interesting for the rest of
