LEAGUE IS FORMED DIAMOND FANS Willi SEE LOCAL. GAMES THIS YEAR Four Team League With Pendleton, Athena Weston and Pilot Rock As the Principals, Will Organize Clark Nelson Is Chief Promoter. The four-town baseball league Is now assured, according to Clarke Nel son, who has Just returned from a vis- It to Athena in the Interest of the or ganization. It is to be strictly an amateur league and the towns of Weston, Athena, Pilot Rook and Pen dleton will be represented. The Weston and Pilot Rock organ izations have already been perfected and the Athena fans are to have a meeting in the near future to form the organization- Nelson reports much interest In Athena, the town which has the reputation of putting out the best ball teams of any city of its size in the entire northwest It la therefore evident that when the Athe na spirit gets to working properly that the town will be represented with a team which will not be found at the foot of the pole ' In the race for the pennant. Athena will be the most fortunate town of the entire league In many re spects. The 'new city park which is being formed will include a baseball diamond as well as a track for field meets. As the park is supplied with shade and is almost within the very center of the city the conditions are ideal for successful ball. No organization has been formed in Pendleton, as yet, but the local fans are growing more enthusiastic witli every appearance of the sun and all the amateurs In the city are harbor ing secret ambitions of being able to make the team. The fans are also beginning to sit up and take notice and It is evident that the Pendleton team will not be compelled to go beg ging for uppcTt. . Tnmhotnnm for Veterans.

This time his anger Is directed against ex-President Loubet of France, who is also in the list of future presidents. M. Loubet, it seems, thought 200 francs 140) a goodly sum to contribute toward the relief of the flood sufferers. M. Lou bet's son has contributed 60 francs ($10). Mr. Rochefort says that while Emlle Loubet was president of the French republic he drew from the treasury a sum In salaries amounting to 1.700,000 francs. He goes further and hints that the economical presi dent economized another million over state dinners and receptions. There Is a story told of two young men ar rested for stealing a loaf of ribread from a bakers wagon. When taken to the police station they gave as their excuse that they had been dining with the president, whereupon the Judge remarked blandly: "In that case you are excused." Rochefore claims that Loubet ac tually used to sell the game shot by his guests at his hunting lodge at Complegne. In view of all these things old Rochewort says he Is not astonished that the ex-president could only af ford $40 for the victims of the flood. Rochefort Is a terrible old man, and woe be to any one, even a president. who is caught In the meshes of his big net.

GAYNOR RAPS POLICE FOR STRIKE ARRESTS i New York. Mayor ' Gaynor, In a dispute growing out of the activity of the police In the shirtwaist strike, took a stand directly opposed to that as sumed by Director of Public Safety Clay of Philadelphia. He condemn ed the police for arrests of strikers, or plcketers, not disobeying the law. The complainant was Lieutenant Henry W. Torney, U. S. A., formerly a West Point football star. He had been arrested "Just for being one of the crowd," In company with Miss Inez Mllholland. Vassar graduate, suf fragette and champion of the strik ing girl shirtwaist operators. Through promptly discharged in police court, Torney carried his case to the mayor, protesting against the action of Police Captain Henry, who caused his arrest. Reprimanding the police captain at the hearing, the mayor said: "It is the business 'of the police to keep their hands off people.. No one should be arrested unless guilty of some offense defined by the law. In the case of strikers the business of the police Is to preserve the peace and take no sides." PHONE GIRL VOICE TARGET FOR CUPID Chicago. Chicago telephone girls get married at the rate of about 1300 a year. Cupid thrives, It seems, on the me lodious polysyllable "dropanlckle please," and as for. the telephone company's officials, it has long been their plaint that "matrimony is the bane of the service." These disclosures resulted from an Investigation at the central exchange, following a dispatch from Washing ton D. C, which stated that, accord ing to an Investigation conducted by the government, 92 per cent of the telephone employes of the country are unmarried. The cry immediately spread through the city that "matrimony is rare In the telephone exchanges." Matrimony rare? Hundreds of operators tilted their noses with scorn at the thought. NEW RELIGIOUS SECT PLAY WITH REPTTLES Nashville, Ind. Leaders of ,a new sect the Church of the First' Born, particularly distinguished by its teachings that Christ was born under an apple tree and that those that be lleve In It shall have power to sub due poisonous reptiles, were attacked by scoffers while holding a meeting at the Johnson township school house. Rev. John McPherson was struck by a stone and seriously hurt. The sect's preachers are accustomed to handle snakes during their meetings, and the charge that there was trickery In this caused the riot. PICTURE ROMANCE BRINGS A WEDDING New York.

No. 296 Windsor place, Brooklyn. ' Six months ago, In St. Louis, Reln berg saw Miss Alexander's picture on the society page of a newspaper.

He has not been assigned to any special work, but will be shown no favors and will be put to work wherever there Is a vacancy. Ham ilton was in good spirits.
