AIMS MUSSED
By Secretary C. W. Graves
at Meeting of Fort
nightly Club.
Ideals, aims and accomplishments
of the Grand Forkfs Commercial club
were discussed by C. Graves, sec
retary of that organization at the'
meetin.it' of the Fortnightly club held
Monday night, at the public library.
Mr. Graves pointed out that the
modern commercial club must seek
to make more vital and energetic, both
the material and moral life of the
community. If this is done physical
growth and material prosperity will
be by-products.
He then outlined some of the more
important departments of the club's
activities along commercial and other
lines, such as transportation facilities,
agriculture, publicity, public health,
etc.
In summing up, Mr. Graves declared
that a commercial club should have
in view the making of an efficient city
which would efficiently serve the ter
ritory tributary to it. This he de
clared could only be done by increas
ing the efficiency of individual citi
zens.

St. Louis. The machine fell 800 feet
and Peoli's skull was fractured. He
died almost Instantly. The cause of

PITCHER RELEASED.
Chicago, April IS.—President
Charles Thomas of the Chicago Na

from Medicine Hat last year, has been
released to the Memphis club of the

Memphis club is under the optional
agreement. The local club is still
carrying two players over the limit.
Probably nothing would afford the
small boy more pleasure than the
privilege of assuming the role of fa
ther to the man occasionally.
A young man would rather owe
money to hia tether than to his
"uncle."

THE GRAND FORKS DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1915
Wisconsin Man Will Head
New Canadian Club in
the Northern Circuit.
Winnipeg, Man- April 13.—Though
President H. D. Mewhirter's Hps are
sealed on the matter, it was learned
on good authority that Charley Moll
of Milwaukee, has signed to manage
the St. Boniface baseball club before
he left for the aouth again in the
evening. Moll arrived in the morning
and was in conference with the new
baseball magnate for most of the day.
After he left. President Mewhlrter re*
fused to divulge any news as to
whether the Milwaukee man was to
lead the team or ii'ot. However, it was
whispered around that Moll had sign
ed up and. would be back here in a
week or ao to start work on the team.
Owing to .Wewhirter leaving for Eng
land on Saturday it will be the duty
for the new manager to look after the
affairs of club for some time, but he
le a most capable man in this way,
having had considerable experience,
and last year was president of the
Wisconsin-IUJnois' league.
Hag Team' Ready.
If Charley Moll's team does not put
St. Boniface well to the front at the
very first pop In the Northern league
race, it will be surprising to many be
sides himself, for the players, accord
ing to him, have .been together for
some time, practicing already for the
season of the Wisconsin-Illinois
league, in which they expected to be
entered.
President Webb of the association of
Professional Baseball. Limited, aa the
new owners of the Winnipeg franchise
in the Northern league are officially
known, is of the opinion that the rest
of the circuit will, have to hop lively
to get up with the Mol! aggregation,
though Roy Patterson is expected to
arrive in town with his whole menage
of players on Sunday next. By that
time the infield will be ready for prac
tice at tho Norwood field, and the rail
birds may have a chancc to watch
them from the bi,eacher!, which are
all ready. The central portion of the
grand stand, which is to be mainly of
steel, and covered'with the cantilever
roof, will lie well, advanced, the club
being confident of having It completed
and all arrangements made for the
formal opening of the league here,
Thursday, Mav 6.
RIGHT NAME, BUT WRONG
PRISOMMAS RELEASED
Ottawa. Ont., April 13.—Through a
clerical error the authorities of the
penitentiary at Kingston, Ont., re
leased from custody Thomas M. Riley,
serving a term for manslaughter on'
a pardon lntendeH^for Thomas Riley,
also serving timer
for manslaughter,
it was announced here. The mistake
was discovered wtten a clergyman at
I-*ondon, Ont., received a letter from
the freed Riley, now living in Ever
ton. Mo., thanking him for his efforts
to secure the pardon.
The. surprised clergyman had made
no efforts to secure Riley's release
and started an inquiry which repealed
that the pardon was for Thomas
Riley, serving a rfeven-yekr term for
killing hiVwife at Hamilton, Ont., and
was granted/on thfc ground of Riley's
ill health. Insteiif it freed Thomas
M. Rile.v, serving9Ja 'flfteen-year term
for manslatighter ^for the killing of
a bartender in LoWdon, Ont.
It was announced that the govern
ment intends to rectify the mistake by
releasing Thomas' Riley, and at the
same time make ah effort to extradite
Thomas M. Riley and compel him to
serve out his time. Some doubt is
expressed among Canadian lawyers as
to whether the freed Riley could be
returned to prison even if he were
still in Canada. iJv
