HELD LEGAL
federal supreme court de.
cides against states —
LAW IS CONSTITUTIONAL
Government Given Control Over Landi
Claimed by States—Other New«
of Interest to the General
Public
Washington. D. C,—The legal battle,
against the forest reserves of the west
In particular and conservation by the
federal government of natural re-
sources in general was decided Mon-
day In the supreme court of the Unit
ed States.
That tribunal not only upheld the
constitutionality of the establishment
of the reserves, but it settled once for
all that the federal government and
not the stales may say how the re-
serves shall be used.
The immediate results of the conclu-
sion of the court are that Fred Light,
a ( ojorado cattleman, will remain en-
joined from allowing bis cattle to graze
on the Holy Cross forest reserve in
Colorado, and Pierre Grlmuud, K. P.
Carajous and Antonio Inda, Califor-
nia sheep men, must answer to the in-
dictment, charging them with grazing
sheep upon the Sierra forest reserve
without a permit.
The subject was dealt wilh in two
opinions delivered by Justice Lamar.
The entire court concurred. The bas-
ic principle upon which lie proceeded
was that "the nation is an owner and
has made congress the principal agent
to dispose of its property."
"The United States can prohibit ab-
solutely and fix the terms on which Its
property may be used," said the jus-
tlce "It is true the Untied States can
not and does not hold property as a
monarch may for private and personal
purposes, but that does not lead to the
conclusion that it is without the rights
incident to ownership for the constitu-
tion declares that 'congress shall have
power to dispose of and make all
needed rules and regulations respect
lng the territory or property belong-
ing to the United States.'"

Capt Butt Was Merely Giving to His
Friend a Few Philosophical
Reflections.
Capt. Archibald W Butt, the presl
dent's military aide, was called out of
bed at nine o'clock one morning to
answer a telephone call.
"Archie," said his friend on the
other end of the wiro, "I called you
up to tell you that 1 shall not be able
to keep the appointment I made with
you lor eleven o'clock today."
Tin sorry," said Butt, his tone a
trifle chilly.
"Yes; It's too had," agreed the
other.
There ensued an ominous pause.
"You know," remarked Butt senten
tiously, "telephoning seems to be a

Invitations by telephone. They 'phone

friend.
"Oh, no!" contradicted liutt in a
louder tone. My remarks are merely

Pennsylvania Railroad Shopmen Quit
Work May Day
Pittsburg.—Without further warning
than might be gathered from confer-
ences of a committee with railroad of-
ficials last week, the shop men of the
Pennsylvania railroad, on the Pitts-
burg division, extending to Aitoona,
Pa., went out on strike and union of-
ficers say 10.000 men are out.
The unions afTected are the Brother-
hood of Carmen, Boilermakers and
helpers, Sheet Metal Workers, the In-
ternational Association of Machinists
and Laborers, and the Federal Labor
Union, an organization of foreign la-
borers about railroads, all of which are
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor
The cause Is the allegation by the
men that in its retrenchment policy,
the railroad dismissed men who were
active in organizing and carrying on
their unions No semblance of disor-
der characterized the inauguration of
the strike.
John Kllng. the Cubs' famous catch-
er. still receives credit for knowing
all of the fine points behind the bat
Kllng was asked the other day to
gi\e a talk on the scientific methods
employed in baseball, and this is what
he said:
When I was a pitcher in semipro-
fesslonal teams around Kansas City
1 lost many games by trying to do too
much, by throwing too often and by
wealing myself out by wasted efforts
I was a failure as a ball player in
several towns before experience
taught me that one play at the right
Instant Is worth ten at any other
time.
"When I began catching one of the
first things I learned was that the
catcher can break up a team quicker
than anyone else can. He need not
even make an error to do It. One of
the easiest ways to lose a game is for
the catcher to throw too much. He
may throw perfectly, and yet by keep-
ing the Infield moving and out of po-
sition, expecting his throws and study-
ing him Instead of watching the bat-
ter he may cause the game to be lost.
"My idea has been to make plays
when they count and not to UBe too
many signals. The inflelders have a
lot to watch and if the catcher keeps
them watching him all the time he
takes their minds off the other duties
and cuuses them to make blunders.
"First and foremost in importance
in winning is that the catcher nevei
shall make or attempt to make any
play, especially a throw, unless ab
solutely certain that the other men It
the play have caught the signal, un
derstand what Is to be attempted and
are prepared to make the play wltb
him.
"A bad first baseman or one In
whom the others have no confidence
makes bad throwers of all. I believe
In helping umpires and doing all 1
can to make their work easier. If
they are let alone and not nagged at
their work Is much more satisfactory.
I am not put out of ball games. I take
as much Interest as anybody, but I
cannot see the use of kicking on de-
cisions."
Christy Mathewson Says Style of
Pitching Has Undergone Change

Cleveland Rebate Case

III, 1909, it is allged. more than $798,-

Memory of Bank Failure
Memories of the failure of the First
National bank at Lexington, Okla., in
May, 1900. were revived in the federal
court when trial was begun in which
John Watts, receiver of the defunct
institution, is attempting to recover
about $1,000 from J. S. Little, who was
the president. Little was the heav
iest stockholder, and the controller of
currency assessed his stock $1,000 to
help liquidate the bank's liabilities
Little's defense is that he had disposed
of his stock prior to the date when
the bank suspended business.

Christy Mathewson is of the opln-
n that the day of the -low ball
pitcher In fast company Is a thing of
the past.
"When I broke into the big league,"
said Christy the other day. "Win Mer-
ger. ( larke Griffith, Bed Ilonohue and
ither pitchers were getting away
with their games and each one was
depending upon a slow ball to a
targe extent Billy Reidy and Dusty
Rhoades followed them, but look over
Ihe list or pitchers In the two big
leagues today and you will not find a
single pitcher who Is noted for his
slow ball There may be some who
have a floater In their repertory, but
they do not depend upon it to any
extent
"Today the big league pitcher must
have speed. The majority of the big
league pitchers are large men. but.
large or small, thev must be able to
put steam on the ball or they go bark
to the minors. In fart, when a big
league scout reports some minor
leaguer to his employer the first ques-
tion that the latter asks Is: 'Has hj
any smoke?'
"I have reasoned It out that the
slow ball pitcher scarcely ever won
his games by small scores and the
clubs In the days when slow ball
pitchers thrived generally had a lot
of batters who won their games by
big scores It did not cause much
damage if five or six runs were
scored against a club that owned a
slow hall pitcher If that team was
able to go out and score seven or
eight runs. But nowadays the scores
are smaller and the man with the
floater finds It difficult to stand the
pace "

Constipation
is at the bottom of most common family complaints, such
as licadache, biliousness, pimples, sick stomach, indigestion,
colic, etc. Treatment of these symptoms only, is not
enough to bring about a permanent cure. What is needed
is a remedy that actually relieves constipation, the cause of
the trouble, and cleanses the blood from the poisons
which the system has failed to throw off in the proper
manner. If you suffer from any of these dictressing
symptoms, use
Thedford's
Black-Draught
the favorite remedy wherever it is known, for all the com-
mon ailments of stomach, liver and bowels. Mrs. Hattie
Armstrong, of Blackwell, Ga., says: "During the past ten
years, I have used Thedford's Black-Draught in my family,
and would not be without it in my house. I give it to
the children for colds and it cures them. I used to suffer
with constipation very bad, and nothing did me any good
until 1 used your remedy. It is worth its weight in gold."
The true value and merit of this reliable remedy, is at-
tested by its immense popularity, for more than 70 years.
Try it. Price 25c. Be sure to insist on Thedford's.
