Unions of Chicago, Missouris and Pas

tant meeting of the Western Association
of Amateur Athletics at the Grand Pacific
hotel today. The temporary organization
was made permanent and consti-
tuition and yb-laWs were adopted,
which embody several new features
which Will tend to elevate and purify
athletic sport and bring the various clubs
into closer utilization. The annual cham
pionship meeting was secured for st. Louis,
to be held in the fall, and committee
was appointed to arrange preliminaries.
The following appointments were made:
The Referee, of Chicago, was chosen the
Official organ; Daniel ii. Wilson, of St.
Louis official starter, sand George 5.
Rhodes and Samuel \. Miles official handi-
cappers. All the officers were reelected.
The association decided to include base
ball in the list of games which IL recOg
nized as athletic exercises, but will allow
amateur clubs TO engage professional bat
teries. Immense enthusiasm was mani
tested by the Chicago athletes, a large
number of whom were in attendance at
the hotel awaiting with interest the out
come of the meeting. Indications point

MOST TOO CUNNING.
A Chicago Embezzler 0verdoes Himself il
Evading Detection.

| ST. LOUIS, No.. Jan. "A Chicago en-
bezzler, who packed himself and $4,000 in
a trunk and was then sent by express to
st. Louis, was captured in this city to-
night. His name is Thomas Vines and be
is the clerk in the employ of the Adams G.
Westlake company, who disappeared Sat
| urday with the wages of 100 men. He con-
fesses that he took the money and with the
| aid OF a confederate whom he refused to
| name, he rented room near the factory
and prepared for flight. He blackened
up as negro and secreting the
money in old stockings, threw them under
some old clothes IN the bottom of one of
the largest trunks that his accomplice
could purchase. Last night, when he
| thought the vigilance of the police was
somewhat relaxed under the belief that he
was already out Of the city, his confeder-
ateS sent an expressman to the room. and
Vines, in his negro disguise,, helped the
expressman load the trunk on the wagon.
Five holes to give air for breathing had
had been bored by the embeZZler in the
back of the trunk near the lid, where the
openings would not be noticed. On the
way to the depot Vines told the express
man that he intended to beat his way
to ST. Louis by going in the
trunk, being TOO poor to pay the regu-
risky but did not interfere when Vines
opened the trunk, jumped in and snapped
the lid shut with a spring lock. The
trunk was put into the baggage room by
the expressman, the check for the trunk
being Ill the possession OF Vines accom-
plice. Vines and the trunk went on the
train and the embezzler and his Sl0,0 900
were treated as common baggage for
distance of over a hundred miles That
was as long as the embeZZler could
stand it. The air was sitting and he
had been tumbled over and over until he
was sore in every joint On making an
cutlery he was released by the baggageman.
They did not put him oil the train but
sympathizing with his plea of poverty,
allowed him to travel the remainder OF
the Journey III Il passenger car. The trunk
was carelessly closed by the trainmen and
its contents left undisturbed.
At st. Louis the trunk could not be
obtained by Vines without the check
and his confederate did not
put in an appearance. Consider
able pity was expressed by the depot men
for Vines and small collection was taken
up to buy him a dinner and supper His
strange story reached the ears of the po-
lice and aroused their suspicious. His
description had been received from the
Chicago authorities and a reading OF it re-
suited in the dispatch of an officer to ar
rest the fugitive Vines was taken into
custody while begging the baggagemaster
to disregard the usual regulations and
give up the trunk.

dam. Still another insists that owing 20

pressure would be greater than was ever
