Not that the doughty Giant leader has hurdled to the Feds or forgiven Jim Gaffney, or anything so rash as that, but he nevertheless has capi- tulated. He hasn’t admitted it, probably wouldn’t but the fact re- mains. He is invading the colleges for his material! McGraw has always managed to steer clear of the college bred variety of ball players, with but few exceptions, the big one, of course, being Matty. It has been said that McGraw never could forget the old Oriole days when a ball play- er was gauged almost as much by his handiness in a rough-and-tumble as he was by his ability to do the hun- dred in anything less than eleven sec- onds, and pick a hot one off his shoe laces while making it. He hasn’t boycotted the slim lads’ by any means, but it has so happened that he has in the main filled his ranks with the boys who had to battle the cops for their first baseball experi- ence. He never made a specialty of robbing the educational institutions as has Connie Mack and Branch Rickey. But this year, with the weight of seven other clubs bearing down on him from above, he had to do some- thing. So Sinister Dick Kinsella has been delving in the moss covered halls for his ivory crop. In the last month there has been a steady stream of snappily dressed youths filing into the Polo Grounds. Some have stuck; some haven’t. Ken- ney, a catcher from Notre Dame, ‘Wanamaker, an infielder of Dart- mouth; Workman, a catcher from a Los Angeles college; Carroll of Ford- ham, and Babbington of Brown, are some of the most likely looking of the crew. The fact that Connie Mack was after the last two named, undoubtedly moved McGraw to show a little speed in grabbing them. McGraw never had any special aversion for the college trained va- riety, for he has several on his staff now, but he always managed to let the other fellow dig 'em up, plane off the rough edges and then secure them by trade or waiver, while the Giant scouts were combing the tall 1 " . 3 « Every % Quotation on Every Commodity RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERS TIPS.

There has been much speculation in fanning circles lately, whether or not this reversal of McGraw's policy means he is going to enter the field against Rickey and Mack for the freshwater school players. One thing certain, it was up to him to do some- thing, with his 1915 machine look- ing like the well known Flivver, hit- ting on one cylinder and that only part of the time.

Some states have even gone to the ex- tent of threatening to disband the national guard. In fact, the militia of one state was mustered out be- cause of insufficiency of equipment— and reinstated after federal funds had been sent on. _ Uses Diplomacy. The present secretary of war is said to be the personification of di- plomacy in dealing with the situa- tion. He endeavors to “hold out” on a debtor state part of its allotment, to partially pay for the previous loss- es of equipment. In this way he se- cures partial reimbursement at least. If the pressure is too strong or if he thinks a state simply cannot maintain its militia with any cur- tailment of its federal appropriation, the secretary makes no attempt to force it to pay for the ‘““dead horse.” A system something like that in vogue in Switzerland or Germany is favored by some army officials as a remedy for the loss of militia. sup- plies, but they doubt if applied to the red blooded, independence-nur- tured young American, it would work out as well in practice as in theory. In those countries each . ‘“reserve” private is held strictly responsible for his equipment. In Switzerland frequent inspections at the homes of the national guard are made. Sep- arate lockers for privates in Germany are provided. , In Switzerland the in- spectors visit the homes of the guardsmen, to see if rifles are polish- ed, shoes polished and uniforms in condition for instant service. “Imagine what would happen if we were to turn over to-our Amer- ican youths ‘a rifle, uniform, shoes, shirts, socks, underwear, cartridge bsl.t, cap and other equipment, to be taken to and cared for at his home,” said one army official. ‘““They would ving THE LEADER Next Door To The Fair Store day, boarding houses, or relegation to cellar and garret.” FRANK HOLT ENDS - LIFE BY SUICIDE (Continuéd irom Fugs 1.) tenderest, most compassionate man of his time, the man who forgave his enemies because it hurt him to be at odds with any man on the face of the earth.” X BANKERS AND FARMERS WANT CLOSER ASSOCIATION Chicago, July 7.—Bankers and men interested in agricultural achievements from 39 states went into conference at the Hotel La Salle this morning to discuss ways and means to bring about a closer co- operation and relationship between bankers and farmers. The confer- ence is fostered by the Agricultural commission of the American Bankers’ association, which has been pushing forward the “banker-farmer” move- ment for some time. 1 Representatives of state banking |H associations, state agricultural asso- ciations, educators in agricultural advancement, editors of publications devoted to farming interests, indi-|J vidual bankers and representatives of | the United States department of ag- riculture at Washington are attend- ing the conference.

Light and the Skin. When rays of light fall upon the skin of our bodies, which is translucent, the greater part of them are arrested, some by one layer of the skin, some by an- other, and still others are not stopped until they have penetrated the subcu- taneous tissues. This arrest of the|d light rays produces radiant heat, which Third Street Ceo. T. Baker & Co. Near the Lake bhas a higher penetrating power than convection heat as generated by a hot water bag or poultice, for instance. B. C. Titus in an address_before the Iluminating Engineering society said that such heat penetrated two inches or more, while convection heat was ex- cited principally on the surface. This is why electric light baths and sun baths are so stimulating to the or- gans of elimination, especially the skin and kidneys, and so beneficial in so many diseases.—New York World.

Holt wrote his wife at Dallas say- ing that a steamer sailing from New York to Liverpool on July 3 would sink July 7, “if God was willing.” It is thought that either the Phila- delphia or Saxonia is the vessel men- tioned, but on account of both leav- ing the same day there is uncertainty. He warned his wife to destroy the letter, but Mrs. Holt immediately gave the letter to Texas authorities who instantly telegraphed it to Wagh- ington and it was in turn transmit- ted to Superintendent Pullman, of the Washington police. The govern- ment wireless stations have received no answers from the Saxonia or Philadelphia as they have not the necessary requisition for commercial wireless. HowWever, the sea air has been flooded with warnings and it is believed the same has been received. Officials are of the opinion that an accomplice was connected with| the placing of the bombs, because of Holt’s uncertainty in the letter as to which vessel had been chosen for destruction. LINCOLN’S MURDERERS EXECUTED 50 YEARS AGO (Continued from Paxe 1.) and when it was certaln that the man was dead, his neck having been brok- en by the fall, the body was imme- diately carried away. “I didn’t look after that. I heard them step forward; heard the trap click and heard the rope creak with the weight of the body. “Mrs. Surratt arose, assisted by the priest, and came forward to the trap. I looked up when her time came. She was so weak she collapsed and had to be supported by the priests while they bound her eyes. I could hear her sobbing. I didn’t look after they placed the death cap over her eyes. I wanted to stop my ears. I could hear her sobbing, sobbing, sob- bing, until I thought I must scream. “I closed my eyes. I clenched my fists, and the next thing I heard was the order to retire. It was all over —the assassination of Lincoln was avenged. I suppose the entire cere- mony didn’t take twenty minutes but it seeméd hours to me. And the sobs of that woman ring in my ears to this day. I have seen many hor- rible sights.
