Brouthers' outfit will pry the lid off of “this IS straight” starting with Macon on the 27th of this month End taking on the following teams, re spectively: Columbus, July 30, 31 ana August 1; Albany, August 3, 4 and 5; Jacksonville, fi, 7 and S; Charleston 10, 11 and 12, and then the final series which will end the IS straight at home will be pulled off with the aid of the SITS OOCTOfi NOT JIT ST Chart Prepared by Prosecutor Shows Impossibility of Slayer Intending to Kill Dr. Carman. Freeport, N. Y. —Investigation of the murder on June 30th of Mrs. > Louise Bailey, in the office of Dr. Ed t win Carman lias ied District Attorney Smith to form a new theory which is 1 in direct contradiction to that brought forward by Dr. Carman that the mur derer had planned to kill him and not his patient. A chart which the district attorney has had prepared shows, he says, the positions occupied by Dr. Carman and Mrs. Bailey and shows that only the narrowest part of the physician’s shoulder could have been visible to the slayer while an almost unob structed view of Mrs. Bailey was ob tainable. The district attorney also declared he was satisfied “the shot was fired by a person who knew every inch, and intimately, of the inside of the room in which the killing oc curred.” The grand jury will continue to sit this week but if an indictment is voted charging Mrs. Carman with the crime is not expected before the end jf the week. TWO HOUSES ENTERED BY MYSTERIOUS INVADERS Robbers Have Chicken Supper But Leave Valuables Un touched. No Clue to Follow As Yet. Two burglar alarms wore received at the police headquarters last night between 10 and 11 o’clock. The first call, shortly after 10 o’clock, came from 412 Elbert street, an apart ment house, of which Mrs. E. M. St. Amand occupies the lower floor; Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Morgan, the upper. When Mrs. St. Amand returned to / the house about lb o’clock, the house * ' having been deserted for an hour or more, she found unmistakable traces wher somebody had been rummaging. She sent in the alarm to the police at oee, not knowing at that time what was missing from the house. It was afterwards discovered that nothing had been taken except some cooked chick en from the ice-box. The second burglar scare came from the residence of Mr. H. L. Rubenstein, 803 Monument street, and turned out to be even less fruitful than the other. When the family came in from a round of calls in the neighborhood they found the house in great confusion. Bureau drawers were pulled open and cloth ing scattered about. But nothing whatever was missing. Jewelry, sil ver, and even a box of money on one of the bureaus were untouched. Y lio ever entered the house must hav done so on a search for some particular article which they did not find. It is a most mystifying case. SOME RESULTS OF COM MISSION GOVERNMENT Commission Government in 328 cities has given seven million people these things; Lower taxes. Better service. Cleaner government. The right to control their own af fairs. The power to recall dishonest of ficials. The privilege of checking up the citv finances daily. Non-partisan administrations. The right to vote on all public im fprovements, all franchises, all grants of anv kind and all ordinances affect ing tiie public welfare. A vote for every man who acts as councilman. Freedom from gang rule, which is fostered by ward lines. A government at work at the city hall every hour in the day. The way to fix responsibility for poor service. The city government prohibited from contracting debts not authorized bv the people. Greater satisfaction and more civic pride in their government. Commission Government has not 'ailoJ to do all these things In any one of the 328 cities. *1 r iW i trjK Columbia Comers on the 13, 14 and 15. When these IS consecutive games are cancelled the Combacks will take a short dash down to Savannah; from the Indians' camp to that of the Sea Gulls and then back home for the final series scheduled as the winding up of the South Atlantic League season in this city. When this series has been oblit erated the locals jump over to the “sis ter city.” Columbia playing the last three games of the South Atlantic League-- then bamb! the curtain drops on the scheduled games of the Sallie—its all over with the exception of the winner of the second half playing Savannah for the championship of the league. Now, Augusta wants to play Savannah for this championship—she has the best chance, just to think of it, 18 straight games at home, and the manner in which they are sweeping all comers be fore them—why as the dope stands, its Augusta for the pennant! 111TII ITIHSTIHER Joint Study of Existing Condi tions to be Made by Secy’s Redfield and Houston. Washington. —In the belief that the methods used in exploiting timber re sources vitally concern the public, sec retaries Redfield and Houston have completed plans for a joint study of the question by their department. One of the conditions which make the in quiries of immediate importance, ac cording to an announcement today, is the fact that the standing timber, es timated at about three thousand bil lion feet, is being reduced of its stumpage at the rate of pproximately sixty billion feet annually. In spite of this limited timber supply, lum bermen are said to be unable to mar ket much of tho poorer grades. It is estimated from one-third to one-half of the material in the trees is left in the woods or burned in lumber mills. Some of this waste is believed to be preventable and much more, it is hoped, can be saved under improved conditions of marketing and use of goods. The studies will seek to establish the esesntial facts relating to supply, and to analyze the underlying causes of present conditions which are de clared to be unsatisfactory. The aim will be to indicate measures which should be adopted by the industry it self or by the public in relation to the industry.
