IT WEST GOVERUIT MADE ITS LUMBER QUIZ This Was Revealed Today in Chicago, Following Suit Against the Lumber Trust, Filed in New York. (Continued from Page One.) of Philadelphia, a voluntary organization; and twelve director!. The Lumber Exchange of the District of Columbia, a voluntary organization and Ita directors. Inquiry Extends a Year. . The action 1 brought under the dU ruction of Attorney General Wickeraham by United States District Attorney Wise. The attorney general has been working with Clark McKercher, his special assistant, for a year. The government's contention is that by written, and verbal agreements and by meetings and conventions In which constitutions were adopted and purposes declared, the defendants "arbitrarily fixed, established, and maintained arbitrary divisions and classifications of the lumber trade," which was an unreasonable restraint of interstate commerce and an unreasonable prevention of competition. "The result of such Illegal methods," ays the complaint, "Is to close the door of the wholesale dealer and manufacturer In all parts of the United States to the consumer and to deprive the manufacturer and wholesaler of the trade of the consumer who lives In the territory covered by the associations named, except by means of a retail yard operated by members of the associations." Sporting Gossip BASEBALL NOTES. With Russell Ford in the box the Highlanders come very near being world-beaters. Manager Dooln. of the Quakers, copped a real regular pitcher when he signed Alexander the great. If the Cubs want to dispose of Reulbach there are several clubs willing to grab the wild heaver. Maddox and O'Connor, the former Pirate battery, are working for the Kansas City club of the American association. Mike Donlin may Join the Boston Rustlers. Mike- has been out of the game for two years, but claims that ha Is still there as a hitter. Major league scouts are sizing up George Allen Davis, Jr., the Williams college. pitcher, who has trimmed both Tale and Princeton; Eddie Collins, the star second Backer of the Champions, says that the Athletics will repeat this season and Put Detroit down with the tunnel diggers. , Pitcher Frank 8mlth will now have a chance to show his wares to Manager Griffith, of the Cincinnati Reds. Frank was a star with the White Sox for several years. Accident insurance amounting to $100,000 has been taken out on the Cleveland players. If this is true. Bill Dahlon should be able to take out 1500,000 on the Brooklyn Dodgers. If a rule were passed prohibiting a city having two good ball teams at the same time, St. Louis fans wouldn't care and Philadelphia fans would kick their heads off. Funny, how unreasonable aome people are. In the recent Boston-Cincinnati ser-, lea the pitchers got all that was coming to them. Ten .home runs were hit during the series and the scorers had hard work to keep count of the singles, doubles and triples. Jesse Burkett Is on the Job again, playing right field for his Worchester team. Jesse had decided, not to play ball this season, but when the New England league battle opened, the old soldier couldn't stand the riffle. Charley Dryden says that Ping Podie of the White Sox is as fresh as a crate of new, cucumbers. In a recent game Ping became peeved at a decision of Umpire Bill Dineen, and started to do a bush league jig. Leave It to Bill to grab that kind of stunt. He grabbed Ping and shook him like Llszle shakes a dust cloth. WITH THE BOXERS. Al Kaufman has returned to California and will do no more boxing until next fall. . Jim Flynn says that he would rather trim the sccalled "white hopes" than be a "hope" himself. Jack (Twin) Sulivan Is anxious to fight Jim Flynn. Jack is confident that he can whip the Pueblo fireman.

WRECKED AIR CRAFT

But Glen Curtiss Was Seriously Injured. Not (American Newa Service) Keuka. X. Y., May 20. While flying a monoplane Glen II. Curtiss, of Hammondsport, wrecked the machine and sustained a bad Injury above his eyes, WedenBday evening just as the aviator was about to bring his machine in for the day. Few witnessed the flight and mishap. The 1911 model monoplane, equipped with a watcr-skimmlng device, similar to a pontoon, had been In operation since the wind had gone down, or about 5:30 o'clock. Curtiss was demonstrating how a craft could be brought down to the level of the water and then skim over it like a bird, sometimes resting on it bodily. It was for the latter purpose that the pontoon was used. ' With no apparent cause, with the sudden Btopping of the engine, the monoplane dropped Into the water about 20 feet from shore and near the landing place of the Curtiss machine. The lower part of the monoplane was submerged in water seven feet in depth, one wing was badly torn and crushed and many of the bamboo rods In the frame work were splintered. Curtis, by pitching forward on the steering gear, received a deep gash over the eyes. Baseball Results. National League. Won Lost Pet.

GENERAL REVIEW OF PROCTOR LAW

In Three Months, Its Benefits Have Become .Apparent Law Violators. . Indianapolis. May 20 Three months have passed since the Proctor regulative bill was passed and the city and township unit local option law took the place of the county local option law in Indiana.' In that time elections have been held In 193 units under orders issued by boards of county com missioners at their February, March., and April sessions, and analyses of the results of these elections show the "drys" have lost much ground In the cities that they held under the county option law. The "drys" moreover have gained in another way, as the Proctor regulative law has put many law violators out of the saloon business. The number of liquor sellers in Indianapolis alone to whom licenses have been denied is nearly thirty. The new laws, therefore, work both ways. The city and township unit law has opened former "dry" cities to licensed saloons, a gain for the liquor forces, even though the number of saloons is small. The Proctor regulative act has raised the standard of saloon keepers by depriving law violators of licenses. This is a benefit to the "drys," as one of their objections to liquor selling has been that men who care nothing for the laws have been permitted to engage in the business. All the 193 units In which elections have taken place were "dry" by county option law vote two years ago or by remonstrance. , One election Laurel township, Whitley county resulted in a tie. Of the others the "wets" carried fifty, all losses for the "drys" because the units were "dry" before the elections. The "drys" retained 142 of the 193 units, but most of the units that voted "dry" are ruraf communities, whose vote made counties "dry" under the old law. The "wets" made their gains mainly In the cities, but they also carried a few township units. Thlrty-nlne cities have voted. Of these the "wets" carried twenty-six and the "drys" thirteen. The "wet majorities in the twenty-six cities totaled 4,843, and the total "dry" majorities in the thirteen "dry" cities aggregated 1,099. The population In the cities that voted "wet" is 201,593, and in the cities that voted "dry" 65,054. In three cities which gave "wet" majorities on the face of the returns the county commissioners refused to sanction the granting of liquor licenses and virtually declared the cities "dry" on the ground of fraud or error. The cltleB were Marlon, Kokomo and Union City. The Marion case, however, on an appeal to he circuit court, was won by the "wets" and that city will have saloons. Cities Voted Wet. The cities that were carried by the "wets," with their majorities and population, are here given: Cities Maj. Pop. Attica '. 38 3,335 Clinton 901 6,229 Columbia City 233 3,448 Connersville 36 7,738 Covington 20 2.069 Decatur 187 9.371 Dunkirk 92 3,031 Elkhart 418 19,098 Goshen 145 8,514 Greenfield 80 4,448 Greensburg 137 5,420 Huntington 103 10,272 Kendalville . 185 4,981 Kokomo 35 17,010 Llgonier . . . : 120 2,173 Marion 35 19,359 Martinsville 130 5,429 Muncie 503 24.005 Newcastle 582 9.486 Plymouth 120 3,838 Princeton 201 6,148 Rushvllle 56 4.925 Union City 5 3,209 Vevay 15 1,256 Wabash . .

The city and township voted as one unit. Effect of Limitation Clause. The Proctor law gave county commissioners the power to limit the number of saloons that might be licensed in each county, the ration ranging from 500 to 1.000 population to each saloon, and is being based on the vote at the last general election. This feature of the law will have no. immediate effect on "wet" counties, except where a saloon was running in a unit that did not have enough population to make up the ratio fixed by the county commissioners. In the cities and towns that have voted "wet" since the law went into effect, however, high ratios have reduced the number of saloons greatly in comparison with the number in operation before the first local option law was passed. Anderson is an example Two years ago, before the city voted "dry," there were sixty-five licensed saloons in the city. No the city is about to become "wet," automatically under the Proctor law, bat only twenty-six saloons will be permisible, because the ratio of one to 1,000 population has been Axed by the county commissioners.

Lieutenant Frank Drees, U. S. M. C, was found dead today In his room on Second street with a gas tube in his mouth. He was apopinted from Iowa. ATTACK MADE 0(1 STATEHOOD BILL Republicans Pull for One Policy and Democrats for Another One. Washington, May 20. Renewed attacks upon the recall provision of the Arizona constitution from the Republican side and Democratic criticism of the unamendable feature of the New Mexican constitution held the attention of the house throughout Friday's consideration of the statehood resolution. Representative Bocher of Missouri, Democrat, declared that New Mexico was virtually controlled by the railroads and large interests, and that the present form of the constitution is such as to preclude the possibility of Its being easily changed when it once becomes the organic law of the state. He urged letting Arizona have the recall for judges. Replying to Mr. Kahn of California, Mr. Bocher said there never was a time when the American people would have signed a recall petition for Washington or Lincoln. Representative Pickett criticised the principle of the recall as applied to judges. Following him Representative Connell of New York, Democrat, approved the pending resolution, declaring it was the only fair way to treat the two territories. While the Republicans favor the immediate approval of the New Mexican constitution, the Democrats favor submitting both constitutions to the people for further examination and popu lar vote on the disputed sections. Mr. Connell said politics had much to do with the statehood situation, as the Repubicans hoped Republican sena tors would be sent from New Mexico, while they feared Democratic senators would come from Arizona. Mr. Connell personally opposed the recall of judges, but said Arizona should have the privilege of deciding for itself. Mr. Adamson, of Georgia, advocated the adoption of the resolution as a compromise that ought to be accepted without regard to politics. Mr. Humphries of Mississippi, declared the Republican party had con sistently kept New Mexico out of the union, although' it was entitled to statehood. Republicans charged that the Democrats were now .trying to delay admission of the territory by forc ing it to vote on proposed changes in its constitution before that constitution was approved by congress. Former Speaker Cannon said the Democrats had an opportunity to ad mit New Mexico when they were in power, but failed. Mr. Humphries re torted that the Democratic party did not seek to delay statehood nor to force undesirable features into the New Mexico constitution, but wanted to give the people an opportunity to vote again , separately on the method by which they could amend their con stitution in the future. MORGAN HORSE TO BE BRED FOR ARMY USE (American News Service) San Antonio, Tex., May 20. Mili tary circles at Fort Sam Houston are much interested in the effort of the bu reau of animal industry of the United States department of agriculture to secure pure strains of the famous Morgan horse.

Fisher the new secrtary of the treasury, is being sought as the progressive Republican candidate for governor, to run next year. Chicago politicians who visited- him in Washington returned today with the news that he was not certain to accept the nomination as he apparently prefers to remain in the cabinet.

GEORGE BARNARD fOILSJ, HURTY Young New Castle Mayor Establishes a Pesthouse Over State's Protest.

New Castle, Ind., May 20. Mayor Barnard slipped "one over" on Governor Marshall and Dr. J. N. Hurty Friday afternoon in connection with the smallpox situation here. The city had closed a deal for the purchase of elev en acres of ground, with a four-iom house to be used as a pesthouse, north of the city. The property adjoins the land of the Indiana Village for Epileptics on the west, and Superintendent Van Nuys of the village protested against the establishment of a smallpox hospital so close to the village and notified the state authorities. Dr. Hurty and an assistant came here Friday afternoon. Mayor Barnard got wind of what was going on, and In an automobile rushed two smallpox patients to the pesthouse, put up warning cards and established a guard. When Dr. Hurty and his assistant arrived at the pesthouse they were stopped by an armed guard and not allowed to enter. Dr. Hurty returned "to Indianapolis last evening after complimenting the mayor and local health authorities for the way they were handling the situation. Will Maintain Guards. T. R. Van Nuys, superintendent o the Indiana Village for Epileptics, appeared before the city council in special session and protested against the location of the smallpox pesthouse adjoining the state land, saying it was a menace to the 250 patients and employes of the village. Some dissatisfied patients, not mentally normal, he said, knowing" that if they left the village they would be . returned, were threatening to go to the pesthouse, as they could not then be returned. Mayor Barnard assured Superintendent Van Nuys that the close proximity of the village had not been thought of in purchasing the pesthouse and that numerous guards would be maintained to see that no epileptic patients entered the pesthouse and ao pesthouse patients or attendants en tered the state lands. Five, more patients were taken to the pesthouse last night. Dr. Van Nuys says he was sure the state would be willing to buy the property and, if not, he stood ready to do so, burn the buildings and turn the land over to the state. Until the city can obtain new quarters the present conditions will stand, the state of Indiana, not withstanding, as the situation is one the city must care for without delay.

W. GEO. SMITH MET

A W, GEORGE SMITH Strange Mix Ups Follow When Both Are Assigned to Same State Room. New York, - May 20. When W.': George Smith, a broker of Philadek phia, met W. George Smith, a business man, of Atwater, Cayuga county, N. on board the Cunard liner Saxonia he began to wonder whether he was W. George Smith or whethe'r W. George Smith was himself. The Saxonia sailed at noon for Med iterranean porta and by an odd coincidence both men had been assigned to stataeroome C 61 in which there are two berths. " Mr. Smith of Philadelphia was the first to arrive. A steward unlocked his cabin and gave him a letter. Mr. Smith looker at the feminine handwriting with curiosity and at the Buffalo postmark on the envelope with, some surprise. But he opened the mlr sive and read: "My Dearest George-" He paused right there and. glancing at the bottom of the letter, saw the signature, "Helen," and after that three crosses. Before he had time to puxxle over the mystery the steward brought hint a telegram. He opened it and found this: V t "Bon voyage. Lovingly, Mamie. '"Your luggage, sir," said the English steward, as he began to place a trunk in a corner of the stateroom. Mr. Smith looked at the trunk. Then he looked at the name on it. It was his name, but it was not his trunk. "Take it away, he said. "Take is away, or I'll go bughouse." The steward looked up with a pus sled look on his face and a moment la- -Ler, without a word, began hauling the ; trunk out ot the stateroom. ' ; Just then W. George Smith from Atwater came up, ' "Where are you taking that trunk?" he demanded. 'This is my stateroom." "This is my stateroom!" echoed Mr. Smith of Philadelphia. "Man,, what are you talking about? Can't you see my name on the trunk?" replied the other. "That's my name also, but the trunk is not mine," said the broker. ' Then there were mutual explanations. SHERMAN MAY CAST THE DECIDING VOTE (American News Service) Washington, May 20. Vice President Sherman may be called on to cast the vote that shall decide whether the Sutherland amendment to the resolution submitting an amendment to the direct election of senators shall be added to that measure as it came from the house. The adoption ot the 1 amendment at the regular session killed the direct election measure at that time because the southern Democratic senators claimed it would, by moving federal government control over the election, practically nullify many of the state laws in the South. The amendment will ' be renewed on the floor of the senate and so close; is the alignment that it is generally predicted it will be a tie and that Vice President Sherman will be called upon to vote. , NOTICE OF TIME FOR PAYMENT OF ASSESSMENTS.
