Austin, Texas, Aug. 23. John R. ShiL
lady of New York, secretary of the
National Association of the Advance
ment of Colored People, was severely
beaten in front of his hotel here yes
terday and ordered to catch the first
train out of town. The beating was ad
ministered by several men at a meoting
held with negroes by Shillady. . He
agreed to leave town at once.
BEREFT OF ITS NOISE.
New York Depressed by the Silence of
the Transportation Strike.
The first day of the Tnterborough rail
, way strike in 'New York worked a start
ling change silence fell upon the city.
The New York Tribune reports that "it
was the deadly stillness of everything
that first put a chill into the heart" of
the people. "It seemed as if a vital chore!
had been severed and the spark of life
had flickered out." The "noisy city had
lost some of its vitality, its distinction."
The people of New Y6rk evidently en
joy the customary tumult in which they
live, and resented the quietness that de
scended upon them. Most of us had sup
posed that the great city's confusion of
aounds was a drawback that even the
most enthusiastic citizen would confess
that it would be a pleasanter place to
live in if its vehicular voices were not
quite so vehement. But it appears that
noise is craved by the true metropolitan.
He does not feel at home when the roar,
rumble and racket of transportation
cesses.
The fact is that New Yorkers have
difficulty iri sleeping the first night or
two when they go to the country. They
cannot readily adjust themselves to the
absence of sounds. The noise of the city
has been a sedative to them, and they
toss about on their rural pillows, home
sick fhr it. The silence of unpopulated
spaces jars upon them; iteems uncanny
and fearsome. Whereas the farmer who
visits New York has an experience ex
i actly the reverse. He cannot sleep be
cause his hearing is so persistently as
sailed.
City noises, in the modern sense, are
comparatively recenti The introduction
of the steel rail and wheel has had a
good deal to do with them. How quiet
New York must have been 100 years
ago! We suspect that there was less
nervousness in those days. Life moved
more leisurely, but men and women lived
just as long and persons were just as
happy. Yet the sudden cessation of traf
fic facilities on the subways and elevat
ed lines this week grievously depressed
millions of people. They missed not only
the prompt and comfortable transporta
tion to which they have been wont, but
the old familiar babel of inanimate
things. .
We are told that on one occasion there
was silence in heaven for the space of
half an hour. So far as we know, those
!!0 minutes were the only perfectly quiet
ones of all eternity there. From this we
might infer that silence is an unnatural
state, whether in heaven or earth or
for that matter in the waters under
the earth, where deep answercth unto
deep.
Nevertheless, our cities could very well
get along with less noise. Even New
York could be educated up to content
ment with a minimum of transportation
sounds. -It may be that some dar the
genius of American inventors will be
. concentrated on the question of reduc
ing the clangs and crashes of urban traf
fic. For our part, we say let them begin
now. Providence Journal.

MORETOWN
Moretown and Morrisville in Tie Game,
2 to 2. .
The largest crowd that has ever as
sembled to witness a game in Moretown
saw an exhibition of the grand old game
that has not been seen in these parts
since the days of the old B. A. C. and
I. A. C. team. Morrisville, having won
the first game by the score of 4 to 3,
came full of confidence, but received a
setback in the last frame, when More
town brought in two tallies, tying the
score. .
The game was very fast and with few
errors. Fast fielding by both teama and
excellent pitching by Newton and Duba
were enough to keep the fans full of
"pep." Up to the third frame, neither
side had been able to tally, for both
pitchers had "something" on the ball
and used it when they found themselves
in bad holes. However, in the fourth.
Morrisville pushed one across. Churchill
hit a high one to Griffith, who misjudged
the ball, Churchill going to second on
the play and trying to make third. In
the endeavor to catch him, he was hit
in the back, the ball going into the
crowd, thus enabling him to tally. Their
second tally came in the seventh. Gran
ai, hating relieved Duba in the fifth,
found himself in a bad hole when two
infield errors enabled the visitors to get
a life. Next, two men struck out, but
Granai was unable to find the plate, so
two men got free tickets, forcing in a
tally.
Things looked bad for Moretown,
which had been unable to tally until the
seventh frame. Than that never-die "pep"
came back, when Bisbee singled, Fielders
walked, Newton struck, out, and so did
Flynn. Things looked bad, but Ward
came across with a terrific single into
right, Scoring Bisbee, the ball being re
layed from right field to pitcher. The
pitcher did not try to cut off the first
runner, but endeavored to run down
Ward, who seemed to be trapped.
In the meantime, while they were
playing for Ward, Fielder was on his
way home. Ward made a peach of a
slide under the first baseman and the lat
ter missed him by as much as a foot
and a half, but the visiting umpire called
him out.
Then a debate was started, the visit
ing umpire maintaining that Ward was
out and Wilcox, umpire-in-chief, ruled
the man safe, and he was safe, for some
of the visiting team players admitted it.
The fact that the first baseman made
another attempt to tag Ward again,
when he was on the ba3e, convinced
neutrals and all that he was safe. The
umpire endeavored to call back the vis
iting team, which had left the field, but
some would not return. Those who re
fused were some select men that Morris
villa had picked for this game, but the
real Morrisville players were true sports
and would have finished the game had
they had enough players.
Through The Times, we wish to ex
press our appreciation of the true sports
manship of the "Morrisville boys."
The visiting player refused to return
to the field, and Umpire Wilcox called
the game a tie. The game will be re
played at Intercity park Saturday, Aug.
30, and another royal battle will be
fought. These two teams are very even
ly matched.
Ward of Moretown featured with the
stick for the day, connecting with a
double and single out of three trips to
the plate.

PINCH HITTER
MURPHY AT TOP
He Has Been Swatting the
Ball Regularly . at
Every Chance
HAS AN AVERAGE
OF 476 TO DATE
But Ty Cobb is Still the Real
Leader in American
League
Chicago, Aug. 23. Eddie Murphy, the
star pinch hitter of the Chicago White
Sox, who had "delivered" with regularity
in the past few weeks, is topping the
American league batters with a mark of
.476, according to werages released to
day. However, he has participated in
only 21 games. Harris of Cleveland in
28 games made an average of .403.
Ty Cobb of Detroit Is the real leader,
more than 10O points behind Murphy.
The Detroit star ha been bagging safe
blows consistently and has au average of
.374, made in 90 games. Jacobson of St.
Louis is the runner-up to Cobb, with
.352.
George Sisler, St. Louis, is showing
the way to base stealers, with 25 thefts.
In addition to being the leading base
stealer, Sisler is in front in total bases,
with a mark of .210, which is better
than that of Babe Ruth of Boston, the
slugging home run king, who has a
string of 10 homers to his credit. Max
Carey of Pittsburgh had a great week
with the bat in the National league, and
boosted his average to .301, but Carey
haa played only in 31 games. Barber of
Chicago also hiSI been doing some timely
hitting and is in fourth place with a
mark of .315.
Gavvy Cravath,' Philadelphia manager
and leading home-run hitter in the 'senior
league, is topping the batters with .340.
Jim Thorpe of Boston is next with .33ti
and Rousch of Cincinnati is in third
place with .323. Cravath broke the tie
for home-run honors which he shared
with Kauff, New York, last week, by
cracking out a pair of circuit drives. He
has 11.
Z. Wheat of Brooklyn continued to
lead in total bases, with 175.
, Cutshaw of Pittsburgh stole his 30th
base during the week, and is topping
the base stealers.
THE BLOCKADE OF RUSSIA.
I Not Avowed, but Is None the Less
ReaL
In his preliminary address to the Sen
ate foreign relations committee Tuesday,
the president pave a striking account of
the economic loss which is being caused
in this country ''because the channels of
trade are barred by war when there is no
war." His immediate point was the need
of early ratification of the treaty with
Germany, but much that he said applies
with equal force to the anonuilous inter
ruption of trade with Russia. He de
clared: "We cannot afford to lose a single
summer's day by not doing all that we
can to mitigate the winter's suffering,
which unless we find means to prevent
it, may prove disastrous to a large por
tion of the world, and mav, at its worst,
bring upon Europe conditions even more
terrible than those wrought by the war
itself."
For the mitigation of the winter's suf
fering two things are essential, increased
production and free circulation. The
channels of trade cannot be opened to
anything like their lull capacity till the
blockade of Russia is removed. It is an
unavowed blockade, but none the less a
real one. Russia's access to the sea is
scanty enough at best, and now all the
ways are stopped. Even if the Russians
should push Kolchak across Siberia they
would find a Japanese fleet at Vladivos
tok. Even if they should regain Archan
gel they would find the Arctic patrolled
by unofficially hostile warships. At this
moment, while it is protested in the
House of Commons that there is neither
war nor blockade, a British fleet is sink
ing Russian ships in the gulf of Finland
and by one account bombarding K.ron
stad. Thus is a nation of 85,000,000 people,
in great need of what western countries
want to sell and cblc to pay in what
Russia produces, cut off from the com
merce of the world. Putting politics
aside, and looking only at economic
needs, it can be seen that this continued
unofficial blockade is a terrible handicap
not merely to Russia but to the western
nations which are trying to get business
under way, yet are mortally afraid of
importing" goods. There is no such fear
in Russia! its needs after five years of
isolation are so great that it is ready to
buy on almost any terms, and in its vast
natural resources it has means of pay
ment which business men find satisfac
tory. The great Russian co-operative so
cieties, also, which are non-partisan and
flourish both in soviet and non-soviet
Russia, provide, an agency through which
business can be resumed without delay.
The United States government is un
derstood to have held consistently to the
view that the blockade of Russia was
but an incident of the war with Germany
and that when the war ended there was
no excuse for blockade. From Paris it
has been reported that this view has
been pressed upon the peace conference
by the American delegates, but thus far
no formal action has been announced.
Time presses, and, as Mr. Wilson says,
"We cannot afford to lose a single sum
mer's day." Hardly any one thing would
do more to promote prosperity and to
mitigate the winter's suffering than to
permit and M the exchange of goods be
tween eastern Europe and the rest of
the world. Russia is not in such danger
as last year of starving, because it haa a
splendid wheat harvest and has gained
access to the rich grain fields of western
Siberia. But its needs are very great and
of a sort which would make the opening
of trade stimulating to industry both irt
Russia and in western countries, includ
ing the United States. After a year no
body is able to explain why there should
be a blockade, and no government dares
to admit that there is one. Under these
circumstances it seems clear that the
time has come to make freedom of trade
a fact. To continue the blockade of the
largest country in Europe would be a
grave responsibility. Springfield Republican.

BRINGING UP THE BIRDS.
How Young Blue Jays Are Taught to
Get Their Owa Living. '
The young bird has to leara how to do
things, just as small boys and girls do,
although not in exactly the same way.
One of the first lessons he learns is
how to fly. He really knows how to do
this, but needs practice until his wings
grow strong enough, to carry him through
the air. Many young birds begin this
practice before they leave the nest. I
have often seen a nestling beating and
beating his wings without stirring an
inch from his tiny home.
You have heard perhaps that the fa
ther and mother birds push their babies
out of the nest. Do not believe any such
thing, because it is not true. I have seen
many young birds leave the nest of their
own accord, but never one pushed out.
Sometime the mother may coax her
children, but often they fly out while the
parents are away finding food.
After the young bird leaves the nest,
his father and mother follow and feed
him, for he does not know yet how to
feed himself. This is the next lesson he
has to learn. He must also know Where
to sleep, and how to protect himself from
all the other creatures that want to
catch and eat him. Then he must be able
to sing, and no doubt there are many
other lessons for him to learn that we do
not know about.
Once I had a good chance to watch two
Young blue jays learn to get their own
living. After they left the nest they
lived in a little grove, where I could eas
ily find them when I went to watch.
They seemed to be always hungry, and
every few minutes one of the parents
would hurry up with a grasshopper or
some other insect to stuff -en to the wide
open mouths. They were fed choke-cherries,
too. These little wild cherries grew
on a big tree in the grove.
One day after giving the twins choke
cherries the parents slipped quietly out
of sight and stayed away a long time. I
could see them perching near, but the
young birdi could not. The father and
mother were not hunting food as usual,
but seemed to be taking a rest. I won
dered at this, for I had never seen them
resting since the little ones were hatched.
The twins, who were quite as large as
their parents now, did not try to pull
any of the fruit from the trees, although
it grew all about, and they had often
seen it done. They sat idly picking at
their toes, stretching their beautiful
wings, or hopping from branch to branch.
Soon it was evident that they were
hungry, for they began to call. Nothing
happened. They called again. Still no
food. This must have been a great sur
prise, for usually their cries brought a
parent with food at once. Hungrier and
hungrier they grew, and louder and
louder they called, but still no parents.
All this time 1 could see the mother
and father birds sitting near, and I also
began to wonder why they did not bring
something.
At last the mother flew to the children,
but with nothing in her beak. Squawk
ing madly, the two hungry youngsters
flung themselves upon her. They almost
knocked her off the perch. She just
hopped out of the wsy and did not seem
to care that they were hungry. Again
the twins flew at her, begging for food,
and again she calmly hopped out of the
way. Then she hopped up to a branch of
cherries and pulled one. The children
cTowdcd close, and what do you think
that bird did? She deliberately swal
lowed that cherry herself I
The twins seemed dumbfounded. For a
minute they did not make a sound nor
move a muscle. Then screaming louder
than ever they began jerking at the
choke-cherries for themselves. . At first
they were so clumsy they dropped every
one, but soon they managed to swallow
a few.
These two young blue jays had learned
the great lesson of their lives. Olive
Thome Miller in "Zion's Herald."
Humiliating' to Pay Ransom.
It may be humiliating to have to pay
$15,000 for the ransom of two American
aviators captured by bandits on the
Mexican frontier, but the bill, if the
ransom is paid, goes to the Carranza
government, and it is fair to remember
that brigands have -nade trouble in old
er and more civilized countries than
Mexico. It has been necessary in mod
ern times to pay large sums for the ran
som of foreigners held in the mountains
of Italy, Greece, Spain and other regions
where unsettled conditions had made im
possible the maintenance of perfect or
der, and whilo in some cases there were
diplomatic complications, it has general
ly been recognized that brigandage is a
hard thing to deal with. In 100(1 the
British government had to pay $100,000
for the release of Sir Harry Maclean,
a prisoner of the bandit, Raisuli, who
is still as troublesome as Villa. When
brigand are captured they get and de
serve little mercy, but when they have
a victim in their power ransom may be
necessary; no military power could res
cue the captive. As Secretary- Baker
tells a Senate committee, the region
where the lost aviators were captured is
"void and sparsely settled." Under such
conditions banditti have a great advan
tage. .Springfield Republican.

this city won first place in the state

This is the first time the championship

years. Out of the 40 games played for
the championship, Mr. Egelston won 23,
drew 14 and lost 3. The next champion
ship contest will be held in Montpelier on
Dec. 29.
In past years Mr. Egelston has twice
tied for the championship. One time the
games were not played off and the sec
ond time he failed to get the board be
cause a dispute arose about the elimina
tion of games. '
The board goes to the person who
holds the championship and if he wins
three times the board becomes his prop
erty and a new prize has to be secured.
