IT'S EASY TO GET MAYOR GIVES CUP; POLICE TO WIN IT Hartford Police Department Baseball Team Challenged Today—Game Early In September. Chairman E. G. Babcock of the board of public safety this afternoon journeyed to artford where he visited police headquarters and hurled a challenge at the head of Chief Gar- rett J. Farrel, demanding that ihe Hartford policemen’s baseball team come to this city during the first week of September and accept defeat at the hands of a team made up of local policemen. Mayor George A. Quigley is also imbued with the athletic spirit and says he will do his part towards mak- ing the game a success. He has of- fered to donate a handsome silver loving cup. Chief William J. Rawl- ings will undoubtedly be secured to act as umpire, so there is no doubt but what the local team will win and the cup will remain in New Britain. Therefore it behooves Mayor Quigley to buy a good one. This baseball game will take place in connection with an outing of the policemen, but will be an official out- ing and not the one for which the police are already planning. Chair- man Babcock expects to have the supernumerary police force filled and will have a street parade of the po- lice department and the fire depart- ment, Including the new motor trucks. The baseball game will follow. Thers ig some doubt ag to who will be “dis- oovered” as baseball players of abil- ity in the ranks of the local police department, but Chairman Babcock says it is not necessary to have real players in order to win. “The chief will umpire, that will be sufficient,” he states. The game will be staged at Walnut Hill park. TEXAS LEADS NAVY Hag Best Gunnery Record for 1915- 1916 With of kansas Is Second.

HARRIS DYING Osteopath at Point of Death in Boston 78.84; 76.109 Michi- New 62.374; Hospital—Police Suspect Dr. Celia Adams Was Also Murdered. Boston, July 25.—The death Wilfred BE. Harrls, who was shot by Dr. Eldridge D. Atwood a week ago, was expected hourly today. The police, so far as known have found no explanation for the death by potsoning of Dr. Celia P. Adams, be- yond that given by Atwood, who upon his arrest sald he had shot Harrls because the latter had come between the young woman and Atwood, mak- ing their marriage Impossible and causing the sufcide of Miss Adams. It was planned to change the charge against Atwood from assault with intent to kill, to murder in the first degree so soon as death came to Harris. Atwood’s attorneys have intimated that the defense would be temporary insanity. Atwood has said that the death of his sweetheart was the cul- mination of a series of incidents that drove him mad. On the other hand, the police are glving much attention to theory held by staunch friends of Dr. Harrls that Miss Adams was murdered. of Dr. STRIKERS T0 CONFER Insurance Agents to Decide to Ask Congressional Investigation of Busl- ness—Places Being Filled.

The cause of the explosion has not yet been ascertained. The tunnel was equipped with electrically driven ma- chinery for excavating. The party of eleven workmen, who were caught by the explosion, entered the tunnel at 8 o’clock last night. About 9:30 p. m., the explosion oc- curred. Deadly fumes almost over- came Lock Tender Dolan. He man- aged to close the lock and then, re- leasing the high pressure from the air chamber, he opened the door lead- ing to the crib above and gave the alarm to men at the surface of the lake. Superintendent Johnson sum- moned villagers and led the first r cue party of villagers down the eleva- tors and into the tunnels. One hun- dred and fifty feet from the bottom of the shaft they began to fall, overcome by fumes. Dolan who had resumed his post in the air chamber, rushed after them. He saw a flash of light in the darknes It proved to be Johnson’s flashlight which he still grasped where he had fallen. Dolan dragged him to the bottom elevator shaft and then went back. Al- most dead himself, he dragged Peter McKenna to safet Then he col- lapsed. Others from the crib took the three up th elevator and they were placed aboard boats. It was two hours later that Van Duzen, organized the second rescue party on shore and went to the crib. With his men he descended into the tunnel. They found Michael Keough of the first rescue party still alive and dragged him out. They went in again, only to suffer the same fate which had befallen the first party. Finally four of them managed to stagger back to safety. ‘The others did not come out until the third rescue party was or- ganized and went after them. Gas Found Three I Ago. It became known today that work in the tunnel had been suspended three days ago because gas was found. The men sent into the tunnel la night went to work believing the gas had been eliminated. The construction job on which the loss of life occurred is being done by the city with direct labor. The acci- dent is the first of any consequence since the new tunnel was started in 1914.

Chiropractors do not prescribe medi- cine, make use of surgery nor prac- tice osteopathy; nor do they treat, heal or cure disease. They locate and adjust the cause of disease. Na- ture will do the healing, curing and repairing after such adjustment has been made. The cause of disease is vertebral subluxations, which produce pressu‘e on spinal nerves, thereby shutling off life currents, passing through nerves from brain cell to the parts of the body affected or diseased. Chiropractors adjust subluxated ver- tebrae relieving pressure on nerves, thereby enabling innate intelligence to restore normal function. The result is health. Innate intelligence will afford health if allowed uninterrupted tr: mission; uninterrupted transmis; insures perfect expression of function. Fifty years ago medicine was an un- certain science. Today it is as cer- tainly uncertain. Chiropractic ministers to the neces- of afflicted humanity, and is a Fublic need. Our work tells its own story; chiropractic a trial and know yourself. We deal with conditions, not theor- that is why we correct causes adjustments instead of experi- th effects by the use give for with remedies. G. W. VanAlstyne, D. C., graduate Palmer school.
