COUNTY BASEBALL
. 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. .

EX-PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
MAKES NIGGARDLY GIFT
Paris. Henri Rochefbrt Is again
up In arms. 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. The culmination of a
"halftone" romance came in the mar
riage of Miss Fanchon Alexander of
Brooklyn to Harry Relnberg, a young
merchant of St. Louis, at the home of
the Bride's father. 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. The
photograph made such an Impression
upon him that he sought an Introduc
tion through his friend. Dr. Julius
Cone of Brooklyn, who is a friend of
the girl.
Ortls Hamilton In Pen. .
Walla Walla, Ore. Ortls Hamilton,
convict No. 6683, arrived at the state
penitentiary Saturday afternoon In
charge of George Gaston, sheriff at
Olympla, to begin serving an Inde
terminate sentence of from one to ten
years. 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. By a strange
coincidence, his successor, George B.
Lamping, was a guest In the peni
tentiary when Hamilton arrived to be
gin his term."
Hamilton was sentenced for the
theft of $1188 of the state's money
and the misappropriation of approxi
mately $36,000 In funds. He comes
to prison with a promise made by
himself, his relatives and his friends
that he will not ask for a pardon or
parole inside of five years.
Hamilton was arrested on May 5
last and confined In the county Jail
two days later after an unsuccessful
attempt to get the $20,000 ball de
manded. There he had been ' ever
since.
