THAT BALL GAME.
Umpire Not Unfair To Helena Bitter
KOOters Played Ball,


Rooters Played Ball,
MIssoULA, June Especial. l--The MEM
bors of the Missoula base ball club aro
somewhat put out ut tho report in TnE IN-
DEPENDENT, OF tho ball game played here on
sunday between the Holena and tho local
Mines. Tho report apparently WAS fur
nished by tho boys upon their return home
ana is wholly groundless. They suffered
defeat ct the hands of this Bitter Root nine,
and show their soreness by blaming the
umpire, Frank Woodman, who is Helena
man and had no interest whatever in rem
dering decizions in favor Of the Miasoulas.
The fact of tho matter is that ho gave tho
Missonlas tho worst of it in the frat part Of
the game. The Helena toanl was beat from
the start by superior playing on
the part Of tho Bitter Rooters. In
the last half of the seventh
inning. through on error, they got in three
runs and after that all they got in wns bull
dozinG of the umpire. Apart from several
out-of-place remarks mado on both sides
tho game was an interesting one, and the
visitors were treated with Missoula's we'll
known courtesy and welcome.
If there is any criticism due it is to the
Helena men, especially the fellow who,
while catching. called out TO the runner to
frat, to spike tho baseman if it was neees-
sary. The next tims the 'big fellows of
Helena tackle little lone horse country
nine" they should try to win the game by
playing base bali and not by bulldozing.
They certainly would succeed better all
around.

WASHINGTON. June 3.-Rsferring to criti-
cisms of his bureau in connection with the
keystone bank failure of Philacelphia,
Comptroller Lacey said, to-day, ~ a matter
Of fact both tho closinR of tho bank and
the appointment of receiver were ordered
by the comptroller against the wish Of all
who had sufficient interest to express an
opinion. 1hsrs were many reasons
why il was desirable to
avoid recsivsrship, notably on acsount Of
it's assets being 80 largely in real estate.
Hence the comptroller deemed it his duty
to aid in ssvesal hopeful attempts to reopen
the bank by the contribution Of new capital,
undss rev and competent management.
As 4 matter Of fact 1t was officially reported
to tho comptroller that $500, 900 OF new oapi-
tai had bean subscribed and ths Lucas estate
was expected to maks good all amounts
due. Recent developments have shown that
these plans could not have been carried
out, but they were sufficiently promising at
the time TO warrant the delay asked for.
Similar measures, Lacey said, have caused
the reopening for business within the past
six months of at least four national banks
whose capital had become impaired, and
two more will open soon.

Arthur Stanley Wilson's Positive Testi-
mony Against Cumming.
LONDON, May Sat the opening of court
this morning Sir Charles Russell began his
arguments for the defendant in the famous
baccarat scandal suit begun by William
Gordon Cumming. He claimed that it was
impossible that the five persons who saw
Cumming cheating could have been mis-
taken. Renewed interest was shown when Ar
thur Stanley Wilson, son of the millionaire
owner of rranby Croft, and leading
stockholder of the we'll known Wilson line
of steamers between, Hull, London and
New York and many other ports. entered
the witness box as first witness for the de-
fense. Wilson testified to the fact that on
the first night of the baccarat playing at
Iranby Croft in September last
was given by Wilson without any hesi-
fancy and in manner which seemed TO
impress the jury, and which decidedly i'm
pressed the audience ana caused 81 great
sensation in the court room.
Court adjourned for lunch in the midst
of this testimony and the prince of Wales
again honored the lord chief justice. Lady

of their parties around public house ba & of

Young Wilson, during his cross examina-
ton, was not materially shaken in his tes-
timouy. He said he had no occupation and
that he had been at Cambridge for wear.
But" he added, my father thought it
only waste of time, my staying there"
Roars of laughter greeted this admission.
He further said bacoarat was played at
Tranby Croft in 1889, but his father OBJ
jected to it and it was not played again
until the prince of Wales visit in Ssptem-
Der, 1890. Young Wilson, with dramatic
effect, reproduced Sir William Gordon
Cummings attitudes and motions ut the
card table, to show how the cheating wss
done. Then he rehearsed his tWilson's)
interview with Levett. How "my dear
chap" appealed nt "my dear chap" and
both agreed that "this id too hot" Will
son distinctly denied the existence of
compact to watch Sir William Gordon
Cumming during tho second nights play,
and said he could not imagine how the
statement to that effect got into Gen. Will
iams' affairs.
