SPLENDID BALL GAMES
Sundays Contests Were De-
lightful and Showed Vic
tories for This Section.

With ball game at Eagle River
and one at Winnepe last Sunday,
fans from this big section had
their fill. Both games were very
good and the attendance was a
trifie above the average.
Eagle River and Ironwood bat
tied for honors on the Eagle River
field. A tie Of II in the eight
was finally broken and the finish
ing tallies showed Eagle River a
winner, the score resting at 80.
1t was an exceedingly tight game,
and but for the break in the ninth
it was no betting game with odds
on either team. The young blood
in the Eagle River team, stiffened
up with the old fellows, are break
ing into real players and giving
the fans a run for their money.
Next Sunday Eagle River will
play Montreal (not CanadO a
team from Upper Michigan. This
team has defeated Ironwood, and
you can bet you last button it will
be a good contest.
Winnepe and Watersmeet cross
ed at the Winnepe grounds Sun
day, but it was rather one sided
except for the fun brought about
by the scoring of the Winnepe
boys who could do it most any
time their manager gave the sig
nal. The score of 23-1 will show
this to be the fact. Watersmeet
has not gotten together a real
tight ball team, and it therefore
needs the hands of Pat Kelly to
beat 'em into shape the way he
used to do with his old team.
Winnepe has won both her
games so far; a week ago she took
a game from Three Lakes in a
1875 score. The youngsters in
camp are getting into shape and
will meet Eagle River later on
in the season.
The following is the result of
the Eagle River-Ironwood game:

TIGHTENING UP ON
 MEDICAL DIPLOMAS
Conn. to Be Safer Place in Which
 to Be III

Hartford, May 29.-connecticut will be "a safer place in which to hc sick" when the medical practice leg islation. which the recent exposure of diploma mills will undoubtedly prompt, is passed in the next general assembly, Dr. Robert l.. Rowley Of Hartford told the house of delegates of the Connecticut state medical so- cioty at the 132nd annual meeting yesterday at the Hunt memorial build ing. Dr. Rowley said it was safe 10 predict that a bill would be intro duced in the next legislature which would provide a better medical prac- tice law.
 He rehearsed the startling events Of the past seven months-the uncover ing of a giant mill, pouring its dan gerous grist into all the states where a medical licenes can be obtained with a minimum of preparation, hence con- centrating on Connecticut where the practice laws have made it especially easy to secure license. Dr. Rowley, who is chairman of the public policy and legislation committee. declared that the exposure of the frauds would do an enormous amount of good, since 1t had been awakened the public to a realization of the unsatisfactory situation and the medical authorities to fuller sense Of their responsibil- ity in safeguarding the public health.
 The session was taken up with re- ports from the councillors of the so- ciety which showed the county so- cieties to be in flourishing condition; reports of the officers and of the chairmen of the various committee. Prior to the meeting of the house of delegates the council met in the Hunt memorial.
 Informal clinics were held in Hart ford, St. Francis and Mount Sinai hospitals this morning. The visiting physicians made tour Of the insti- tutions, but there were no formal clinics.

 Washington, D. C., May 29.-For the time in history, definite official figures have been compiled showing the value of the products supplied by each state of the union for foreign eX- Connecticut put that state twenty ninth in rank, in spite of its small size.
 Prior to this time, official trade sta tistics have been only the classified ton of exports according to the ports of shipment: but in answer 10 long and frequently repeated petitions from inland producers, anxious 10 find out what proportion of the agricultural and manufactured exports of the country came from their sections, the bureau of foreign and domestic com merce Of the commerce department has now initiated a new system of ac- counting, which tt is believed will in time become one of the most in- teresting and valuable surveys of the nations export development.
 The figures announced today by pr. Klein, director of the bureau, which cover the exports of the first three months of the present year, are based primarily on through bills of lading, which in the case of some states re- fleet but part of their total foreign trade, and for others include goods produced elsewhere.
 Tt must be remembered" nr. Klein points out, that the new records are in a very preliminary form. Staple agricultural products of the Mssiss- ippi valley, for example, are frequent ly shipped to northern and eastern concentration points; they may change hands several times en route and lose their identity as to states of produc- ton before reaching the seaboard. The same is true of many manufac- tured products, orders for which have been placed by seaboard export houses"
 However, according 10 Dr. Klein, the new figures are sufficiently com- prehensire to be of particular signifl- canoe and value in a study Of our ex- port trade. q remarkably large amount of which is shown to originate in the interior.
 The estimated value of the exports from Connecticut for the first quarter Of 1s.t is ss,54s,5ss. The total for

ago. He believes President Coolidge will call one if the idea seems favor ably received by the majority in con gress.
 Borah says there is pressing need for legislation regarding farm relief, trans portation and reclama tion, in addition to tax revision. Furthermore, there is the question of the world court and other international relations which, though less pressing, in his opinion, should receive consideration.
 Borah expects to be supported in his attitude by the farm bloc group, and by a number of other senators, though he has not canvassed sentiment as yet.
 President Coolidge has not committed himself either way. and Borah believes that he will do whatever the majority leaders of congress think best. Rep resentative Burton of Ohio, who IS as close to the President as any house leader. when he heard of Borah's move, said he thought an extra session un- necessary. If this view proves to be typical of the regular republican lead CTS. there will be an issue precipitated at the outset which will force the Pres ident to decide whether he shall cast his lot with the conservative leaders, or the moderate progressives or the Borah group who hold the balance Of mower in the next congress.

POLICE SEEK
 GRAND RAPIDS
 BOMB PLANTER
Threatening Letter With Picture Of Man Is First
 Clue In Explosion
{By Associated Press)

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. 13.- Federal agents Investigating the pos sibility that bomb wrecked the Grand Rapids main postoffice late yesterda afternoon, taking toll of three livet and injuring 13 persons, announced to| night that they had in their possession a threatening letter that might lead i'd some tangible clue to the method used and to the persons implicated, if bomb was used. @
 The letter was found by Ensign Harl old Mcdonald of the United Stated naval reserve force, in his automobile short time before, the explosion. All though for the most part blurred and almost llegible, the words ..,disaster'1 and "death" are quite clear. A mans picture accompanied the note and fed eral agents are now securing the city in an attempt to place the man under arrest.
 ]. At noon today mans leg bone was removed from the wreckage. Coroner Simeon D. Leroy, after making an in- vestigation of the bone, said that it was a portion of a male leg bone below the knee and above the ankle. Another checkup of missing persons in the city has failed to give any clue. It is thought that perhaps someone might have been blown to pieces.
 Although federal agents are positive that the disaster was caused by bomb, officials of the local gas company were at the scene of the explosion all day in an effort to determine whether or not gas might have been the cause. After exhausting all tests, they announced early this evening that they did not be- lieve 1t possible that gas caused the ex- plosion.
 Vos Annatyn, postoffice employe, is still in a critical condition and may die, hospital authorities said early this evening. The other F injured are CT. peeted to recover.

4 ILLINOIS MEN NAMED IN DEATH
 INCLUDE EDITOR
Will Be Arraigned At Rock Island Monday In
 2-Year-Old Killing
(By Associated Press

ROCK ISLAND, H., Nov. 13.-Ap- pearance at least and probably argu- ment will made Monday on an affi- davit filed in circuit court here yester- day afternoon charging four promi- nent Rock Island citizens with the murder or complicity in the murder of John Connor Looney, son of the Rock Island underworld, October 6, 1922.
 The men for whom warrants were issued are John ". Potter, publisher of the~ Rock Island Argus; John NJ Cooligan, the papers managing editor ; Thomas Haege, clothier, and Jacob Ramser, jeweler. The affidavit was signed by Anthony Billburg and George Holsapple, both of whom are preparing to enter the penitentiary under sen tences for the same murder that the affidavit alleges was committed by Ramser. Potter, Colligan and Haege.
 The hearing will come up Monday, probably before Judge c. J. Searle, as Judge W. T. Church. who received the affidavit and who ordered the warrants issued, will be hearing court in Aledo Monday.
 At the trial of Billburg and Hols- apple more than a, year ago, the name of Ramser was introduced several times, but evidence was furnished that ap- parently convinced the court that he was in his jewelry store when the shooting took place. The names of Pot ter, Colligan and Haege, however, were brought into the case for the first time when the affidavit was presented to the court late Wednesday afternoon. :
 A list of witnesses to support the affidavit was promised to the states attorney today, but up to late hour tonight had not been forthcoming.
 The murder of John Connor Looney was the continuation of regin of terror in this city. Nine men had been found murdered within a short space of time and gambling and vice flourished op& ly, according to the reports. Young LOoney's father, John Looney, was the leader of an underworld band and also conducted a weekly paper which was suppressed by the state as obnoxious and blight n public morals. He is now under seven indictments ranging from larceny to murder.

HILL ACQUITTED
 TOLAUNCHD
 FOR 2.H BEER
Will Go Before Congress To Demand MOdifica-
 ton Of VOlstead Act

BALTIMORE, Nov. 13.-Represent Rtive John Philip Hill, of Baltimore, who today was acquitted of charges ot violation of the prohibition law by a jury in the United States court, de clared after the verdict that the find ing gave him an opportunity to go be- fore congress and demand modification of the Volstead act, and the passage of his 2.75 per cent beer bill on the grounds that the Volstead act in its present form discriminates and is un- fair.
 The indictment against Mir. Hill ac- cused him of the illegal manufacture and possession of wine and cider and maintaining nuisance in his home. The latter charge was dismissed at the direction of Judge Morris A. Soper, on the ground of insufficient evidence.
 U. S. Attorney Silent
 United States Attorney Amos W W. Woodcock, who conducted the prose- cution, refused to comment on the yer dict, and said the case was ended so far as he was concerned. Other off cials of the district attorneys offices were reported as saying that Judge Soper's ruling on fruit juices did not apply to home brew, which is prod uct of malt and hops. That is still illegal, it was declared, if it contains more than one-half of one per cent alcohol by volume.
 The jury which took MT. Hills case yesterday afternoon, wrestled with it in the jury room for 17 hours. The long battle, it was related by one of the jurors, was caused by two jurors who held out for a verdict of guilty. One of them gave in at l a. m. and joined the majority.
 Lone Juror Holds Out
 All II then set to work to convince the one holding out. They cited Scrip ture to prove their point. The juror, however, declared that he could not countenance such a fragrant violation of the law"
 The gray light of early morning was streaming through the windows over the tired jurymen when the juror hold ing out finally surrendered and joined with the others in signing the verdict, it was said.
 The decsion was sealed and delivered to the court at the opening of the aft ernoon session. The court room was damned with spectators and in the corridor there were scores of men and women who were unable to get inside.
