CHIEF GILBERT SLATED FOR UMPIRE

Boss

of the Highlanders to Argue

jL With Roughnecks of the Elks on Tuesday.

foWi SnWho will umpire the baseball games which will be the big- features of the

Elks' picnic at the Apple club grounds Tuesday? "Kop" Stein?

No, not "Hop" Stein. "Hop" Stein, he declined after due consideration. Apd it didn't take him long to consider the matter, at that.

Charley Smith? No, not Charley Smith. He says "Melting Pots" and Theda Baras don't come along every week, and he must needs nurse his trade. All of the thirty-six or more athletes who will take part in Tuesday's games are theatregoers, you know, and some of them might boycott the Grand if Mr. Smith outguessed them regarding balls and strikes. "Who then? r* "Well, at the present writing, it looks like it might be "Lefty" Gilbert, the boss of the Highlanders. When Mr.

Gilbert was offered the job he asked for the use of a vehicle to and from the Apple club grounds. Ed Sparks volunteered to cart Mr. Gilbert to and from the picnic grounds. Then, of course, the big protest from the other captains, Mr. President Webb Beggs, Raymond Pritchett and Homer E. Williams. 'Twould never do for Mr. Gilbert to be guest of \Mr. Sparks, lest he lose that very desirable quality In an umpire—impartiality. Mr. Gilbert has about decided to ride out with come neutral person.

The athletes who are to. decide the locb.1 baseball championship will play indoors. Seven innings will constitute a game in the morning series, beginning at 10 o'clock. The rules of indoor baseball are about the same as the rules under which regular baseball is played. A larger ball is used. Nine players take part, but there are four inftelders and only two outfielders. By the way, "Kid" (George W.) Mahare has been transferred from first base tu center field on Webb Beggs' team. Out in the field he figures there's leas chance of being spiked by some rough neck like Bill Hamilton, or Homer Williams P-~.

Court Matron Stahl Discovers Strange Case of Mother and Five Little Children.

1

Settling cases out of court is one of the biggest problems Mrs. E. Stahl, city court matron, has to combat. "Dozens of persons, especially women whose husbands are failing to provide for them or have deserted them, come to me and ask me to do something without them having to appear in court. They don't seem to understand that I can't do anything that way. "I never had any diea that the court matron's job Would be so strenuous that it would require her every waking moment, day or night. The other day I was unable to be at the office, was not even able to be up, and half a dozen people came to my home in the evening with their troubles."

One Strange Case.

Mrs. Stahl has had one very pathetic case recently of husband desertion instead of wife desertion. Although the case did not come up in court, the husband has been appealing to her to do something. The wife took her five children and left the husband and fatJier, who it seems has been ideal in his ^fatment of them, "becaiyse. jghe d^dn't love him any longer.'' She .took them into a. tent west of the city and has been there ever since. She plans "to get a divorce, it said. The husband said she had told him that she wasn't in love with any njari' now, but wanted a divorce so in case she should find some one she cared for, she would be free to marry him, Mrs. Stahl said.

HEATED ADMONITION LEGAL.

Don't Have to Go to Hell Unless You Want to, Justice Says. There is no cause for dispute when a person is told "to go to hell," according to a ruling yesterday morning by Justice of the Peace Scott. The person don't haive to go, and can do as he pleases about it, says the justice. The ruling came when Mona Long, 1827 North First street, was arraigned charged with cursing' her sister, Cora. It developed that during an argument Mona had consigned Cora to a warmer climate. Squire Scott found Mona not guilty.

TELLS MR. GROVER TO COMEINANDPAYTAXES

County Assessor Seeburger on Hunt for All Who Failed to Pay, Personal Tax.

Township Assessor Harry J. Miller Saturday reported to County Assessor Louis P. Seeburger a list of those who had failed to report their personal taxes. In Miller's list was the name of T. F. Grover, general manager Df the traction company. Seeburger said that notices Would be posted immediately to everyone on the list.

However, Grover is not the only one who neglected this duty and, all told, it is estimated that before the county assessor is through with his work in this line more than $500,000 worth of taxable personal property will have been added to the tax duplicate.

According to the assessor, the work is not confined to this year, but an investigation is being made of last year's duplicate and already about $100,000 worth of personal property has been added to the duplicate which was overlooked last y&ar.

Up to the present time Seeburger, with his assistants, have ferreted out about $318,000 worth of personal property that has not been listed and the total amount is expected to reach the half million mark.

The county assessor is also getting returns to letters sent out by him, asking for mortgages recorded in other counties held by local people on which thefe has been no declaration for taxation. According to Seeburger, there are a number of people living in Terre Haute who hold mortgages recorded in other counties and who do not declare them in making out their assessment lists. All these mortgages are taxable and, according to the county assessor, a strenuous effort will bo made to detect all evasions of taxation in this manner.

FRAME TAXES OVERALL GRAIN SUPPLIES

PARIS, Aug. 7.—The chamber of deputies, by a vote of 417 to 13 tonight adopted a bill authorizing the government to take over all stocks of wheat, oats and corn for equitable distribution at reasonable prices.

Deputies who supported the bill expressed fear that extravagance in the use of cereals during the coming year might exhaust the nation's supply.

This is largely due, they said, to the fact that millions of bushels of wheat, oats and corn raised in the northern departments will be harvested by the Germans who occupy that part of France this year.

ject strenuously to two details of the United States' program. They are aggaii^st United States intervention in Mepdco untier any circumstances.

They want the "cientiflcos" represented in the reorganization. The Latin-American view is that United States intervention in Mexico would be a step In the direction of territorial expansion by the United States. The Latin-Americans want no such step in Latin-America. They suspect, if they do not believe, that the United States has ulterior motives in the matter. This is why they are so firmly against intervention.

The Latin-American governments are "cientiflcos" governments. Their sympathies and interests are with the Mexican "cientiflcos," hence their resolute stand for "cientiflco'' in establishing a new Mexican government

The administration was not convinced that General Carranza's offer' to enter Into peace negotiations with General Villa and General Zapata contemplated a settlement its, view was that he wanted Villa an| Z&pata to "Sue" for peace. This was not the administration's idea of a "get together program.''
