TT AID we put in a lefthander
III when showing off before the
President, you can jolly well
guess that it would be l, as | am
the best lefthander that doesn't
play regularly on the club. And
what l would have done to the
Yanks would have turned back the
minds and memories of the veteran
fans to another great day in the
history of baseball; for instance,
the day they fought the battle of
Bunker Hill and was on the Brit
ish side.
After making a home run, lust
to get in soft with the President,
Babe Ruth loafs over to the Presi
dents box--which really wasn't
the Presidents box, but Jake Ru-
pert's-and apologies for making
his record of four-sackers onlv 1919
instead of 200. Personally, |
never play politics, even if | do
have a chance all my life to do
it, what with living so near the
White House and the Congress
sional Library.

the CHANCES are I'd make q ter
rible mess OF being President, any
how. So the President is welcome
40 his job and ] wish him luck, Just
as he wished me luck.
He had never seen me hit a
homer before and | had the pleasure
Of slamming one into the right field
bleachers the other day for his
benefit. In my heart was anxious
to. see how he'd take it so when I
crossed the plate I peeped out OF
my eye and looked over to where
he was sitting.

with Ruth just to show he

hands with me every so often,
and | can tell by his grip that
he really means it--means that
he is saying goodby forever to
me. Ruth then pinned a poppy
to the Presidents lapel, which
verifies my thought that left
handlers, excepting | and near
beer, always lack control.
Dope, as the Presidents physi-
clan, Tom Sawyer, discovered, is
made from peoples. The fans

A Healthy Climate.

eminent specialist to Mr. Forsythe.
And when you get there you must
stay there for six months and have

In due course Mr.. Forsythe arrived
at the seaside town he had selecred
and inquired of one of the old inhab-
itants if it was a really healthy neigh
borhood.
"Wen, you see me" said the old
man, who was a fine specimen of
health and vigor, "when came here

Nanne of crahapnle

The name crabapple appears TO be
of Scandinavian origin, and akin to
the Swedish "krabbaple. says Nature
Magazine. Skeat offers the explana-
ton that the Swedish word is relaTed
to the name .krabba." as applied TO
the sea creature. He adds that appli-
cation Of the word to the fruit WAS
perhaps "from some notion of pinch
ing. in allusion TO the extreme sour
ness Of the taste" of the crahapple.
In this he finds resemblance to the
'pinchings action of the claws of the
crustacean.

would be 1914 cents a ton. But what
cid you do to your neighbors? The
Pennsylvania Fuel Commission ruled
that so cents a ton be added to the
mine price on account of the state tax
and expenses incidental
Every time anything is done some
one seizes the opportunity to add a
little more. The people of New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Is
land, Connecticut and Delaware paid
last year nearly 100000 on account
of Pennsylvania s action. This they
should not have had to pay.
"If YOU take off this tax it will prac-
tically equalize the go cents added by
the strike settlement. We will hold
the dealers down if Pennsylvania and
the Federal Government viii do their
fun duty, having in mind, however,
that the added so cents came from the
settlement and not from the dealers.
81 feel sure that at the coming ses-
SION of our legislature we shall protect
ourselves, as suggested in your letter.
We have had a legislative committee
look into the facts, and at the last ses-
sion l recommended remedial legisla-
ton, which failed of passage. The
coming session win bring different re-
suits
New Jersey will be glad to do any
thing it can to aid in the solution OF
this pressing problem. We are willing
to help our neighbors as well as our
selves.

DYING MURDERER
LEAVES LOVE NOTE
Monte Walters, Who Helped Hold Or
o State, Was Tender as
Death Brought End.

Eddyvilie, KY. Prison life was
practically normal again today fol-
lowing the burial in the penitentiary
cemetery yesterday Of Monte Walters
and Henry Ferland. who met death in
a barricaded dining hall, after fatally
wounding three guards in an attempt
to escape, Two pine boxes containing
their bodies were hauled one at time
to Vinegar Hill and buried without
services. The body of Lawrence
Griffith was sent to his former home
at Dresd den, Tenn.
In commenting on the fact that
prison guards and Kentucky national
guardsmen reported having seen move
ments within the barricaded building
during the three and q half days siege
which 1t is now certain only dead men
were holding, officials said this was
probably due to futtering coats and
aprons of prison attendants which
hung on the walls inside the gun
mems covert.
Before the convicts died they left
hastily scrawled death messages. One
from Griffith read; "DeAants (dei
ance) from the dead"
One from Walters to his wife said:
Glove to you, beloved"

POLICE TN RAID
ON POKER GAME
Seven Pay Fines AS Result
of Raid on Poker Game
Friday Afternoon.
ALL PLEAD GUILTY

Backing a good hand with a stack Of
chips brought seven Kenosha young
men to grief Friday afternoon when
they were caught playing poker when
the police raided pool room in the
basement Of the building located at 21a
Market street. The raiders surround
ed the table and "sat in" on the game
so quickly that the players had no
chance either to evade arrest or ia
fight conviction. All when arraigned
before ldge John G. Slater in the mu-
nicipal court entered pleas of guilty
and paid fines ranging from SIS to SIS
each.
One hapless youth who was in the
pool room at the time of the raid but
who was not playing, was hailed into
court anyway. When it was shows
that at most he was merely an con
locker" the charges against him were
dismissed.
Banker" Draws Heaviest Fine.
Morris Latin, who according to the
allegations of the police sat in the
"big chair" and was the banker in tbs
game, drew a fine of SIS and costs
herman TlGH1, EleA LEdu5 1COAS &c NC
lone and Edward Roster each also drew
fines of $15. Glyn Barber and Norman
Beaupre, who declared that they had
had little if any part in the game, were
let off with fine of SIS each and costs
The latter two maintained that they
also were merely onlookers but had en-
tered pleas Of guilty rather than take
the time required to fight the charges
"You young fellows will have t.
learn that the court is the only/real
banker in this game" Judge Slater
told them.
Several reports had reached the po-
lice office Friday afternoon that a "bi2
game" was in session and the raid was
the consequence. The evidence pro
duced If court did not show the value
of the chips, the pleas of guilty making
it unnecessary for the state to go far

Kenosha can hardly be considered

operating with the national police
system to make the climate satisfac-
tory for a long period
Saturday afternoon Assistant Chief
Of Police John Cyzak and Lieut..
Charles Rock made an arrest at 1913
South Edward street, which broke up
another alleged loving couple, Charles
Krupski and Anna Baronofsky.
The man and woman were arrested
on information received from the
chief Of police at Wilkesbarre, Pa,
who sent word that a warrant was
held on a statutory charge against
Anna Baronofsky.
The warrant was issued some time
last July. Mrs, Baronofsky had an
eleven year old daughter with her who
will accompany her on her return to
Wilkesbarre. She waived extradition
papers, and agreed to return with the
Pennsylvania official who is expected
to arrive Tuesday or Wednesday to
take the trio, mother and daughter,
and alleged lover, back to their home
town.
Baronofsky claims that Krupski
broke up his home and eloped with
his wife to Kenosha, taking with them,
without his consent, his little daughter.

the sheriff's department from Kenosha
and the Winthrop. Harbor police Of
ficers had their hands full keeping the
cars in line.
Save Knight Home.
When the fire department saw that
it was impossible to save the barn they
directed their energies to saving the
Knight home which was being deluged
with stream of sparks. With the as
sistance of a number of motorists, who
were waiting for the flames to die
down so that they could get through
the road, wet blankets were spread
over the roof and the sides Of the
house were cooled with water. Sew
eral times it seemed as though the
home we're doomed.
When Mrs. Knight first saw the
flames burst from the barn she stopped
several passing motorists and asked
them to assist in fighting the fire. One
carload of men announced that they
would get out the horses. They made
search of the stables and when they
found that all the animals were out
they announced that they had an i'm
portant engagement in Chicago and
started on.
In the barn we're stored more than
70 tons of hay, large quantity of
high grade wood flooring, and a guam
tity of farm machinery, some of which
was new. The structure itself was
partially covered by insurance, but the
contents, it is said, will be total loss.
Hit by Wind.
The high wind which swept this sec
ton Of she country about month ago
caused Considerable havoc to the barn,
Doors were ripped off, as were large
section of the shingles. This damage
had just been repaired at cost of
several hundred dollars.
There is possibility that the fire
started from spontaneous combustion
[although it is said that the hay which
was stored there had been moved away
too long to have it1heat and start the
fire. The more plausible theory is that
it was started by tramps, for whom
the place has long been known to be q
rendezvous.
| <>Several men had been seen near the
barn earlier in the evening, one OF
whom went inside. Whether or not
the man fell asleep in the hayloft and
was unable to beat out when the fire
started, is not known. No one was
seen leaving the barn just before the
! fire broke out.
Scorches Thrashing Machine.
! A new thrashing machine was saved
when a number of the motorists pull
ed it away from the barn However, il
was not moved until it had caught fire
and started to burn. The fire was ex-
] tinguished by the fremen who direct
| ed hose line on it. 1t is said that
the machine will again be serviceable
with few minor repairs.
Fossland, owner of the barn, is ar
agent for farm machinery. 1t is said
that he had made plans for storing 8
large number Of new implements in
the place for spring delivery.

STATE MAY. REMIT
TAXES TO COUNTIES

Madison Governor Blaine met
this afternoon with members of the
emergency board, Attorney General
Herman L. Ekern and Carroll Atwood,
member of the tax commission, to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of remitting
$1,115,O00 of state taxes, due to the
healthy condition Of the state treas
ury.
The governor already has said that
he has come to the conclusion that
these taxes can be returned to the
counties after the next assessment.
It is necessary for other members OF
the emergency board to act before the
remission can be made.
