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-

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

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.

laundering as a regular business,
working in more than 1600 laundries.
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.

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
