PIC
New London, June 12—Ad
dressing the State Bankers
Association of Connecticut,
Prank Vanderlip, ^recognized
throughout the country as an
authority on banking matters,
made the statement that poli
tics at present are playing no
part in the condition of the
country in the present time and
that there is absolutely no*,
danger of a panic. The pres
ent stagnation in his opinion
is due rather to a lack of en
thusiam over the future than a
fear of untoward conditions.
This condition prevails every
where, according to Mr. Van
derlip, England and Europe in
general being in the same con
dition as this continent.

TEDDY WAS IN HIS
GLORY
Madrid, June 12—'A contin
uous down pour of rain failed
to effect the brilliant gather
ing at the religious ceremony
of the Roosevelt-Willard wed
ding yesterday afternoon. The
ceremony occurred at the
British embassy, which was
packed with representatives of
practically every civilized coun
try on earth. Theodore Roose
velt was easily the center of at
traction and was greeted al
most as royalty by the mem
bers of the brilliant assem
blage. The bride is Miss Belle
Wyatt Willard, daughter of
the United States ambassador
to Spain the groom is Hermit
Roosevelt, second son of the
Colonel.

Doc Walker is some swelled
up today when he thinks of
the manner in which his braves
handed it to the Regulars last
night defeating them with a
score of 5 to 2. The game was
s hummer, being chuck full of
interest all the time and every
body got their money’s worth.
“Old Hoss” Ed. Williams
pitched for Purinton with
“Cassey” Williams catching,
and Lawrence Erickson and
Reyes were the batteries for
the Ribbon Winders. Jimmie
Lampton umpired and was un
iformly fair in his decisions
giving general satisfaction.
“Casey” Williams and Spike
Finzel, the two first men to
face Erickson went out on
little hits but Carl Ainsworth
landed on the first ball thrown
him for two bags and came in
while Jimmie Sayles was be
ing disposed of, landing the
first score for the Regulars.
Reyes, the first man up for the
Ribbon Winders, hit for three
bags and came in when Diam
ond Head landed a safe on 1st.
Janggen, following Louis, ad
vanced the latter to 2nd, but
nobody else was able to get to
3rd, and the side was retired
with a 1 to 1 score. Payne,
the first man up in the 2nd fan
ned. Ed Williams hit for
one bag as did Charlie Finzel.
but the latter was tagged out
just short of the home plate
by Louis who did a briliant
bit of play at backing up the
catcher.

PRUNE DOWN OUR
APPROPRIATION
- ~i
Washington June 12—The
appropriations committee of
the House has cut the appro
priation for Alaska fish pro
tection and new vessels for the
coast survey $100,000. This is
a great disappointment for
those who have been working
to secure legislation of a favor
able nature for the north, but
the argument of the committee
was that so much money had
been appropriated for Alaska
this year that the pruning knife
must be used.
