were transferred from the jail to
the court house, for hearing on
charges of attacking a white girl
two weeks ago. The men were
threatened with lynching at the
time of their arrest.
The crowd, which gathered out
side the jail and later filled the
court room, appeared to be COM
posed mainly of curious persons
who showed no indications of the
mob spirit manifested previously
in the demonstration at the Jail.
Miss Butler was the first witness
called to testify against Dies and
Gomez and was on the stand all
of the forenoon. After she had
told of the attack on Eldridge and
herself she was cross-eXamined by
length by former assistant United
States Attorney General William
H. Lewis, who appeared as counsel
for Dies.

brought out concluSlVely at the
Old Fairgrounds Park in Newport
Saturday afternoon when Charles
Hoernle, popular and efficient lead
er of the Fairbanks A. A. club, cal
led his men in from the field at
the inception of the 18th inning of
a hard fought, evenly contested,
battle between the st. Johnsbury
and Newport mines" because Of
dissatisfaction over some of the de-
cisions of Umpire-in-c chief McDer-
mott, Tor Williams as he is also
known) and McDermott thereby
declared the game called off.
The count at the time Manager
Hoernle refused longer to allow
his athletes to play under the ex-
listing conditions was tied at 3-3
and the prospects of a long CON

little protest against the Umps

of the 18th stanza and Mel Mer-

initial hassock. This was too
much for the sturdy young Witty,
who left the box Immediately after
the umpire announced the fourth
ball. He told Manager Hoelnle
that he would not continue to hurl

him the corners" requiring him
to put it over the heart of the

position by Manager Hoernle, who

EUROPEAN
CONDITIONS
PORTRAYED
Rev. Tinker Gives Graphic
Description of His Re-
cent Trip

| Rev Wellington H. Tinker gave
graphic description of conditions
in central Europe az the union ser
vice at the South church Sunday
morning. Mr.. Tinker is one of
the International Y. M. c. A. sec
retaries and has recently returned
from trip to the other side where
he investigated the conditions Of
the studer is in the leading cities
of Germany, Austria, Hungary
and other countries. He sad he
would present three impressions
as a result of his brief trip.
His first impression was the
crowds, esiecially in the larger
cities. In the city of Berlin there
are 10000 Russian refugees and
So Y. M. G. A. secretaries are
looking after them. In Vienna the
refugees live in the freight yards.
In Prague there are 10000 students
living under conditions that are
pitiful.
His second impression was the
hatred ever! where. Germany is
seethinr with hatred against every
nation that anticipated in the
war, particularly against Austria
for quitting. Austria has lost most
of her territory and nurses hatred
and in Hungary the hatred is more
intense than anywhere else. The
greatest feeling of hope of any Of
the nations is in Czecho-S Slovakla
where the people are building up a
little republic much like our own.
In Hungary you can see four great
monuments built since the war and
dedicated to four of their lost
provinces.
The racial hatreds are even
more menacing and the hatred OF
the Jew is found all over Europe.
The Jews have not suffered as
much as the other people.
The third impression was that
of poverty. The monetary condi-
tons are so variable that one does
not know what to expect. One day
Mr.. Tinker received in Vienna
1000 crowns for a ten dollar bill
and the next day he was handed
5000 crowns for another ten dol
lar bill. The students in Vienna
can only earn 900 crowns d
month and a good meal costs 100
crowns. Shoes cost 1000 crowns
and a suit of clothes costs from
10000 to $4,000 crowns. Few
people can afford either and als
most everybody wears old clothes.
The students pay 20 crowns day
for a meal which consists of pea
soup with half a sausage in the
center. They cannot afford milk,
bread, butter or sugar. In Berlin
the students spend their nights in
the bio railroad station, sleeping on
the seats in the waiting rooms.
The American Quakers are doing
a great deal of welfare work in
Berlin and the Germans say they
are the only Christians they have
met.
In closing Mr.. Tinker said the
spirit of the Master in forgiving
our enemies must be adopted by in
races and nations before
the world conditions, so upset by
the great war, would return to
normal.

at once waived his players off the
diamond.
The writer has seen Witty twirl
no less than Is games This season
and not once has be been known
to offer even a strenuous kick to an
arbiter. So that it appears very
extraordinary that he would stage
any such scene as he did on Sat
urday. without just provocation.
Managers Merritt and Hoernle
held a brief conference following
the latter's decision to quit the
field but the St. Johnsibury leader
refused to retract his decision.
Fans of both towns crowded onto
the field and there were lively ar
guments between spectators of the
two places but Chief of Police Ora
A. SWEET and Traffic Officer Ba-
con, watching events closely, saw
that any possible serious trouble,
was averted. A few people lost
their heads and let loose some un-
becoming talk but for the most
part supporters of both teams be-
haved themselves.
The calling of the game was
keen disappointment to a large
portion of the fans, but it vas
noticeable that a large number of
followers Of the Fairbanks boys
approved most heartily Of the de-
cision. 1t was unfortunate that
it became necessary for Manager
Hoernle to stop the game for both
outfits were putting up a wonder
full exhibition.
The two "nines" were playing
nip and tuck base ball. Players
of both sides contributed brilliant
plays, robbing each other of hits.
1t was true, however, that Tesreau
was beinr pounded much harder
than Witty. Tesreau's offerings

NGWPORT SEEKS
ANOTHER GAME
INST. J0HNSBURY
Manager H0ernle May Ar
range Contest for Next
Week

Manager Charles Hoernle of the
Fairbanks A. A. baseball team re-
ceived a telephone message from
Manager "Mel" Merritt of the New
port baseball nine today asking
for another and deciding game be-
tween the teams of the two cities,
1t was evident from this action on
the part of the Newport manager
that he was far from satisfied with
Saturdays unfortunate affair and
wished to correct the impression
that the fans might have received
that the decisions of Umpire Nc
Dermott had the approval of the
Newport management.
Manager Hoernle was unable to
give a date for the forthcoming
game. 1t is now generally believ-
ed that in view of Newport S
prompt action in seeking another
game to be governed strictly by
neutral umpires, that the Fair
banks A. A. management will ar
range a final contest between the
two closely-matched teams.
At the suggestion of the board
of directors of the Fairbanks A. A.
Manager Hoernle expected that
Sault of Woodsville was to be the
arbiter at Saturdays game at
Newport. He arranged for a neu-
trail umpire with Manager c. H.
Davis of the Newport team on
Monday of last week. 1t was
agreed that Sault would be the
best man to secure for Umpire-in-
Chief. Manager Hoernle wished
to guard against any such fasco as
resulted on Saturday.
In the meantime Manager Davis
had given over the reins of the
management of the Newport team
to Merritt and for some reason
Sault was not secured for the
game. In view of what later hap
pened it was unfortunate \that the
st. Johnsbury management did not
insist upon a change of umpires at
the opening of the game as their

SINKING PRICES

ing Vas General

Electric Storage Battery was the
weak spot of the local market suffering
another sinking spell which forced the
stock down to 107A, an overnight loss
Of 2A points and nearly q points for
the week. The slump appeared TO be
entirely in sympathy with the con :
tinued weakness Of the automobile and
tire shares. The rather sharp decline
in the stock together with the price
recession recorded throughout the en-
tire list, disclosed a very limited buyipp
demand and further emphasized. if such
thing was possible, the extreme mar
rowness OF the current market.
Naturally, under the influence of
yielding prices in all the surrounding
markets there was a logical shading OF
quotations upon all offerings. no mat L.
ter how small these proved TO be. The
volume Of dealings, however. in all the
local favorites was larger than for sew .
eral days, but the expansion in buSi :
ness was Mt the expense of values.
Confirming the extreme narrowness
of the market, Cramps on very small
dealings dropped 3 points from the
previous sale to 40. There was recur-
rent moderate liquidation of the Phila
delphia Electric issues with the pre- :
ferred falling back to 25la. Th low
price Of the year. Pennsylvania Rail :
road dipped to 349s. indicating large
part Of small buying orders had been

This produced ragged movement of
