JUNIOR PAINTERS WIN BOTH GAMES FROM WALKER NINE

 ing Both Games

Jasper, April S.-(Spec )-The Junior Partners invaded Jasper and annexed both ends of a twin engagement her to- day, Babe Ruth" Graham pulling tho iron man stunt and twirlng the visitors to victory in both battles, which were won by scores of 10 to and 1 to ?. Gra- ham allowed the Walker county aggre- gation but one hit in the first seven inning encounter, and this safe wallop was made in the last frame of the game
 The first encounter was rather one sided, with Graham holding the Walker ties almost hitless, while his teammates slugged in 10 runs, the feature of the slugfest being a clean home-run to the center field fence by Hartsfield. During the hitting melee, Hartsfield gathered a home-run double and single; Johnston triple and single, and Red" Tanner L double and single
 The big inning was the second, when the Junior Partners drove over five counters on hits by Caldwell Godbee, Hartsfield and Tanner, combined with a sacrifice, walk and one error.
 The second engagement was more even with Roquemore twirling better ball than his predecessor, Dodd. Roquemore hurled n fair brand of ball and worked out of numerous difficult places. His wldness was the ctief cause of his loss.
 The visitors scored three of their four counters in the first frame of the second contest, chiefly on errors.
 The game was called in the seventh in- ming after Simpson had been at bat and scored two more runs, but the score was reverted back to the sixth to allow the visitors to catch a train In this extra frame, Red Tanner, the slugging third sacker. hit one down the groove for a clean home-run, scoring Johnston ahead of him.

 Mentally Normal
By Associated Press

Buffalo, April S.-Roy Harris, who confessed to the local police on Wednesday night that he was one of the principals in the murder in New York Of Joseph B. E1well. is mentally and sphysically normal, in the opiniop of pr. James W. Putnam, alienist who made Second examination of Harris today.
 The examination was made at the request of Detective Sergeant Oswald of the New York police department who indicated his belief that Harris story was the result of a disordered brain Detective Oswald communi- cated late today with New York po- lice headquarters and was instructed to remain in Buffalo for the pres ent.
 Oswald questioned Harris at length today without developing, he said, any substantial change in the prisoners story of how he and a companion were hired by a woman to kill Elwell.
 Harris, the detective said. told a story of what became of the $500 he
  terious Mrs. Fairchild in part pay ment for the murder. He told Os- wald that he lost sSoo of the money betting on the horse Man-o'-War "to lose" The rest of the money he said, he lost in a poker game played lin vacant store" in New York. There were 14 other players, but he said he knew them only by their first names.
 It was after hearing this story that Oswald asked for an examination of detective said he had been unable to shake Harris in any of the details of lis account of the murder. "Of course,v he added. there is nothing in the statement of the man which could not have been gathered by close reading of the newspapers at the tima of the murder"
 Oswald said that while as a police officer he still had an open mind as to the truth of Harris story, as an or dinary citizen he would say that the man was "a colossal liar"
 When told today that his wife had said: Hes not guilty: just crazy" Harris smiled and said:
 She probably isn't the only one who thinks l have a room or two for rent in my upper story. She bases her be- lief that am light in the head on the fact that some time ago I wrote her few letters in which I got a bit sentimental About 99 out of every 100 men would be pronounced crazy if let ters which they wrote under the spell of love could be produced"

ADOPT REPORT ID
 ACCOMPANY BILL.
House to Be Asked to Take Up Tariff Measure for Con-
 sideration Wednesday
By Associatsd Press

Washington, April s.-Republican mem bers of the House ways and means com mittee tonight adopted the subcomnit- tee report to accompany the reintroduo- tion in Congress Monday of the eme1- gency tariff bill vetoed in the last ses- sion by President Wilson. The report was written by Representative Young of North Dakota, chairman of the commit tees subcommittee on agriculture, who announced that the House would be asked to take the bill up for considera- ton Wednesday.
 In recommending repassage of the tariff bill, the report declares that re- vlva of all business is largely depend ent upon restoration to the farmers of their lost purchasing power, adding that conditions have not changed with respect to the inability of the agricultural inter ests to dispose of their products at rea- sonable prices.
 The paralysis" of agriculture has not forced reduction in prices of commo- dities which the farmers must buy. the report says, and warns again a "com- plete collapse" of other lines of trade unless the food production of the nation is encouraged.
 The consuming public and the com mercial public have an absolute and defi- mite interest with the farmer in helping to make cost of production and a fair profit" the report continued. The pri- mary interest of the consuming public is that the farmer keep on producing food, The farmer will do that only if he makes a profit on his production. If he must sell his comm odlties below cost of production for a term of years he must either go out of business or lower his standard of living to the extent that he becomes a public menace. In either event the consumer will suffer from re- duced supplies"
 The danger of permitting a continued dumping of foreign products into Ameri- can markets also concerns the commit tee, the report says, predicting that if this continues, there will be more deple- tion of the ranks of the farmers than has been the case even in the face of adverse marketing of home products.
 The report says that revival of ag- riculture with it's consequent advanta- geous reaction on other lines would aid in providing employment for hundreds of thousands of men now idle. and denies that the proposed course would have the effect of advancing retail prices.
 Foreign food products, it says, have been and are being brought in at a lower basis of cost,s yet are being sold at prices equal to the prices for which the home products could be sold. Middlemen and others in the trade are taking the extra profit, it asserts.
 Democratic members of the committee, under the leadership of Representative Kitchin, North Carolina, are drafting a statement of views opposing passage of the measure, and this minority state- ment will be completed tomorrow or Monday

 sJohn McGraw will not lose this year 5 pennant race because of any weakness behind the bat The Giants are as strong there as they are in the infield. Young Earl Smith is just rounding into great form and will undoubtedly do most of the backstopping. He will be relieved by Snyder. who could work with great eff. fectiveness every day if necessary, while another expert, Gonzales, will be third string to the backstop bow.
 SMITH HAD .294 AVERAGE
 Smith topped all the league catchers last year in batting with mark of .zss in sl games. He will probably eaten more games this season and hit higher. He is a great worker behind the plate and keeps everyone stepping fast with his pep and ginger. Snyder is veteran who can do e world of work and do it well if circumstances compel. He is also strong batter and Is one of the best throwers in the league
 . Pat Moran will alternate wingo and Hargrave this season to suit the oppoe- ing pitching. Wingo working against the right hand pitchers only. At all times Cincinnati will have a great catche. working, as both men are fine receivers. accurate throwers and terrific batters.
 Chicago will depend to the greatest possible extent on Bill Killfer, who is an excellent maskman but unable to work in more than 30 or 90 games and do himself justice. When Killifer rests the team loses quite a percentage as young O'Farrell has not yet learned the ropes thoroughly. O'Farrell is probably as good mechanic as Killifer. Tom Daily will do the customary work of the third man and pinch hit frequently and with good effect.
 RESTS WITH HAEFFNER
 If Bill Haeffner of Pittsburg persists ir his determination not to play ball this season he may cost his old teammates a pennant Walter Schmidt is the only competent backstop that Gibson has in his army of players Schmidt is e fine workman and good general but is not able to work every game. Haeffner would come in nicely to relieve Schmidt, though that would mean reducing the batting list to eight men, Bin being a
