ACCIDENTAL HOME DUN WINS GAME
The El Paso with the ball
team ou board arrived from
Prince Rupert shortly after
noon today and the boys have
been busy ever since telling
just how it happened. The
winning run was made by
Irvin. Prince Rupert's catch
er. who with two men out and
nobody on bases knocked a ball
out. of the diamond and the
same was lost i.i the cut field,
allowing him a home run on
what at best should have been
a two bagger. The grounds
drop off at a sharp angle about
40 or 50 feet back of second
base and it was there that the
ball was lost. Ketchikan made
eight hits to three by Rupert
and played better ball all the
way through loosing the game
| purely by accident. Our boys
| say that Engle pitched a won
jderful game of ball and all of
them are loud in their declar
ation that though they were
defeated it was the finest game
of ball they ever saw and are
confident that they can turn
the tables on the Prince Rup
ertites Saturday afternoon. The
|line up for Ketchikan was:
Casey Williams, Catcher.
Engle, Pitcher.
Ainsworth, First base.
Rockerfeller, Second base
Kubley, Short stop
Mahoney, Third base
Ed. Williams, Right field
Payne, Left field
Reyes, Center.
BRITISH LEAVING
Washington, July 2—A train
load of British refugees arc
reported to have left Mexico
City yesterday afternoon for
the coast. This is apparently
a contradiction of the admin
i'tration’s statement that .ill is
quiet in Mexico City and it is
feared that the anti-American
sentiment is spreading against
all foreigners.

CUTJMIT
Washington, July 2—A con
ference of the democratic
leaders of the Senate wal held
last night and the result was
a declaration that the Senate
will remain in session until
the trust legislation which was
recently passed by the House
has been acted on by the Sen
ate. This action is taken by
the floor leaders of the major
ity owing to the fact that the
minority members had threat
ened to talk the measure to
death or at least to prevent any
action on it until the lower
House adjourned.

BIG IE AT THE CITY COUNCIL
Last night’s council meeting
was probably the warmest and
best attended session of that
body ever held in Ketchikan,
the principal subject of dis
cussion being police matters.
Two weeks ago a resolution
was inlrodueed calling for
Chief of Police Howell to show
cause why he should not be
removed from office. Las|
night the matter come up for
discussion and Councilman
Patching, chairman of the
police committee advocated the
removal of Mr. Howell. A peti
tion signed by twenty-three
residents of the city was pre
sented by Charles II. Cosgrove
asking for Mr. Howell’s re
tention in office and in dis
posing of Mr. Patching’s sug
gestions and the petition, ill'
discussion arose. Fully twenty
property holders were present
in addition to the councilman,
and practically all of them
look part in Hie discussion
which lasted until 11 o’clock
but the vote on the motion re
moving Mr. Howell stood four
for declaring the office vacant
and two for bis retention.
Other ordinary routine mat
ters were disposed of. In the
reports of committees pro- j
gress was reported on street
repairs, the installation of (lie
fire bell and work on the
water main and in addition the
regular bills for the month
were read and allowed.
AT THE DREAM
The show for tonight and
tomorrow night is away above
the average. It consists of a
Pabhe drama, a two reel feature
Vitagraph and two Vitagraph
comedies and an Edison scenic.
When a show like this is
put on the screen you can be
sure that it is a winner.
The scenic is extra good, show- ,
ing life and conditions on the j
river Nile, Egypt. John Run
ny is certainly good as a re
porter and gets in some very
funny scrapes. But to be on
the safe side you must see it,
at the house that sets the pace.
