Branch Uniontown ASTORIA TAKES 6ACE li VAFIOOUVER BASKETBALL CONTEST LAST NIGHT WAS AN EXCIT- v ING ONE. Astoria took the basketball ' game from the crack Vancouver team , last Bight by a score of 8 to 11. It wis one of the. fastest contests f any description, probably, that has keen seen in - Astoria for many months, and the big crowd was keyed ep to a high pitch every minute dur ing the play.' The Athletic Club boys started out to get the game from the first whistle. The Vancouver team took the former contest with comparative ease and the way tnat the local hve started out last night must have surprised them and the first half was one of the hot- and the rst half was one of the hot' test that the veteran Vancouver five has ran up against this season. Both aides play excellent ball, and if the visitors at times showed a little of the better of the fast playing in team work and skill in handling the ball, the Astoria boys more than made up for this in their speed and strength The first half kept the rooters at work all the time. It ended with the score 8 to 5 in favor of the local fve. The second half started out com paratively slowly. Both sides evi dently were more or less tired, but as the game neared its conclusion, with the score for a few minutes standing at a tie, the work became fast and furious. At this stage here was considerable roughing, and once er twice the field was strewn with several players after the manner of a football field on Thanksgiving day. When Astoria tied the score, then erept one ahead, and later added two more to its score, the crowd rooted its best The last few minutes of . the game were spoiled a little by a talking match over a foul, but this was straightened out before it got too tiresome to the spectators, and the contest ended in a whirlwind finish. AH of the local team played fine ball. Roxy Graham's football train ing seemed to stand him in fine stead at times and he kept the other fellows moving around pretty fast. He play ed fine ball, as also did Harbert and Jeldness. McCrosky and Stein were snally right in the thick of things, too, and Astoria had a chance to be proud of its basketball aggregation last night. The Vancouver boys put up a fine game, too, sAt the conclusion of the first half it was announced that Multnomah will play here next Saturday night and the winner of that contest will then play Vancouver for the cham pionship as between these three teams. The preliminary game between the club juniors and the girls of the High School was also an interesting event and was won by the boys by the soore of 5 to 8. The crowd came early and witnessed both games. The Athletic team is composed of Harbert, Stein, McCrosky, Jeldness, Graham, and the Vancouver players were Percival, Rickett, Anderson. Winters, Sparks. After the game the !xys of both teams joined together in a fine sop- per at the Imperial restaurant, this being the treat of the Athletic Club- TO FIGHT GAMBLING. Opposition in Congesa to Stock Spec ulations. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 20. The campaign to procure legisla tion against speculation in cotton, grain and other agricultural products will be carried on in the next Con gress with even more vigor than in the 60th Congress, according to the 'coin's mind and mannerism that even ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 20. An interesting anecdote linking the lives of President James Angell of the University of Michigan, the late John Hay and President Lincoln is published in the current number of the Michigan Alumnus, the organ of the University of Michigan alumni. When t)r. Angell was editor of the providence, R. I., journal, Ins ttrst glimpse of Lincoln was on the oc casion of the repetition at Providence by Lincoln of his famous Cooper In stitute speech. Up to this time, says the Alumnus, Dr. Angell confesses that he was at one with the unfavor able impression which seems to have prevailed throughout the East, owing to the awkwardness of Lincoln' per sonal appearance. Dr. Angell was, however, so deeply impressed" with the speech he heard that he became an ardent advocate of Lincoln's elec tion to the presidency. To bring the candidate before the public in the most favorable light, and to overcome the first impression which Lincoln's appearance was so apt to make in the critical East, Dr. Angell employed his young friend. John Hay, who was one of his former students, and a student of law in Lin coln's office at that time to write for the Journal a series of articles which should emphasize the sterling quali ties rather than his fame as a rail splitter. Mr. Hay, however, was'So impress ed with the contrast between Lin- k i a ASTORIA'S MOST UP-TO-DATE Vs. .

Representative Macon of Arkansas has introduced his bill to prohibit this speculation by forbidding telegraph and telephone companies from trans mitting information concerning the buying, selling, or deabng Jn these futures. I intend to ght for such a law as long as I am in Congress." said Mr. Macon today, "provided a law is not enacted as I hope it will be." His bill, together with a number of others on the same subject, was con sidered by the committee on agricul ture, at the last session,, but no re port was made. Under the amend ments to the rules, it is believed the House will be called upon to vote on the proposition at the first regular session. he emphasized too strongly the "rail splitter" in Lincoln, and the articles were mercilessly blue penciled by Editor Angell. These articles, as they appeared in the Providence Journal, says the a! umnus, may be taken undoubtedly as giving John Hay s early impressions of the man whose secretary and bio grapher he was later to become. As the article was not signed their hist orical, interest has never been brought out. ion IS WITNESS II LAW SUIT PHOTOGRAPHER SUES PUBLI CATION OVER PUBLISHING ROOSEVELT'S PICTURE.

In addition to these there are other persons, some 60,000 in number who do in their own homes washing or as outside day workers. The articles of clothing handled every week would provide for a good-sized army. The largest item is made up of collars, about 15,000,000 of them. Handker chiefs number about 8,000,000, shirts 6,000,000, sheets 1,250,000 napkins 7,000,000, while other articles bring the total far above 50,000,000 pieces j to be washed each week. Their area it is estimated is equal to all that part of the cit' below Fourteenth Street, and if strung, on a single clothesline they would extend from New York to Chicago. The 75,000 000 clothespins necessary for the hanging out of such a wash would if laid end to end, reach 500 miles, and the million cakes of soap used would fill a good-sized office building. Water to an amount sufficient to float twenty of our larges war ships is only another incident to this laundry bill. substantiation of this claim but noth- .worker ing ever came of it on account of the refusal of the authorities to allow the carrying out of the experiment. Two recent events, however, have served to reopen the whole matter and to make possible abolishment of the electric chair. The first of these hap penings was the failure last week of the electric current to cause death until nearly six minutes had expired, while only a few days ago at a priv ate gathering a man voluntarily sub jected himself to a current of 1800 volts under the same conditions at those by which it is applied at Sing Sing. There were no ill results al though the current was kept on for more than a minute, the subject of the experiment sitting unmoved- During that time his assistant touched vari ous parts of his body with an alcohol soaked handkerchief which immedi ately burst into flames. The man who thus defied death has no explanation of his immunity, simply saying that he had discovered his ability to take heavy electric shocks. Physicians who watched the experiment have no explanation either and they are anxi ous to have it repeated. Meanwhile there would seem to be at least one man in the state who could commit murder with impunity, since the only legal means of punishing him would in his case be without effect. is now $2680. For forty years the total, after subtracting wages, is $20,720, and that is the po tential value of every member of the baby crop. At present it is estimated the counAy loses more than $6,000, 000,000 every year through the death of one infant out of every six under the age of twelve months. It is ex pected however that modern methods of caring for babies will be able to decrease this rate to at least one in ten. If this is accomplished it would mean a saving of $2,627,300,000 every year. Discussion concerning the use of the electric chair as the medium of in flicting the death penalty on criminals convicted of murder in the first de gree has broken out again. It . has been asserted in the past by some well-known authorities that electro cution did not really cause death, a statement which they offered to prove provided the body of a man who had undergone the penalty be turned over to them for resuscitation im mediately after its infliction. All sorts of reasons were advanced in New York's annual baby crop to taling now about 100,000 infants, is according to the latest figures worth a Jittle more than $2,000,000,000, thus putting it far ahead of the country's corn crop, heretofore looked upon as the most valuable. Figured on a strictly economic basis, this' crop of youngsters which throughout the whole country is now about 2,000,000 a year, represents a value of $40,000 000,000 -a sum equal to two-fifths of the whole estimated wealth of the na tion. Therefore when it comes fo records in the value of crops produc ed, agricultural districts will have to give way to this city. These surpris ing figures arc reached by taking from the census reports the value of a worker's year in products turned out and subtracting from that his wages. The result is his value to the community for that period and his total value is easily calculated by mul tiplying this figure by the number of years of his working life. The aver age value of a year's product This city, which already has a num ber of commissions created for the purpose of untangling various muni cipal troubles and problems, may soon have one more which will be unique in that its purpose will be to discover a vanished brook, A justice of the Supreme Court who was peti tioned to find the brook, which has not been seen for many years, and may have gotten anywhere by now, from San Frinciico In May to drive a road coach to New York in ninety days a feat never before accomplish ed. While hit schedule time li ten days less than that of the pedestrian it will need 1500 horses to accomplish it if it can be accomplished at all. The vehicle to be used, it is said, is the famous coach Magnet, which will be shipped to San Francisco by rail for use in the unique journey, The schedules of the pedestrian and the horseman are so arranged that they should pass one another in the far west and the meeting, if it occurs, will be fraught with as much popular interest as the meeting forty years ago of the two parts of the first transcontinental railroad.
