but they are being ignored. If Camp
is allowed to go to Pittsburg, it
means that minor leagues are without pro-
lection and might as well give up the ghost
before the season opens. There can be but
one honorable explanation of Manager
Buckenberger's conduct, and that is hardly
possible. 1t is that Manager Powell, who
is now in the East, has sold Camps
release. But there is no mention
made in the newspapers of any
purchase money, and Powell would
hardly take such step without first noti-
flying the directors of the Seattle club,
which he has not done. If the board of
control, which it is proposed to establish
as the chief baseball tribunal of the land.
does not return the player to Seattle it
will be aiding in downright robbery.
There is not the slightest doubt of Camps
position as reserved player of the Seattle
club. He can go to no other club until
regularly released from reservation.
President Rockwell, of the Pacific North.
west League, is indignant over the action
OF the Pittsburg club and proposes to fight
the case vigorously. He has written to
President Young, stating that Camp is on
the reserve list of the Seattle club and ask
ing what attitude the League intends to
adopt toward the minor organizations in
the matter of protection.

George II. Welshons, editor of the Pittsburg

leave this morning to visit friend at Everett.
Mr.. Welshons. under the pen name OF
sgt Geo." is one of the best known
and most brilliant newspaper writer's in
the country, and has been on the scene
OF many of the greatest events in the
recent history Of the country. He has been
attending the convention Of the National
Association Of Press Clubs at San Francisco and
since its adjournment has been travelling on the
Coast In an interview with q Posi- INTELLI-
GENcER reporter he said:
81 have been spending a week with a relative
on Vashon island and have been helping him
in clearing land. The land over there is being
taken in five and ten acre blocks, and that is a
good sign. You safely bet that your five
and ten acre man is going to stay there and 10
going to cultivate all the land he has.
They are putting up houses and az
none of them have any weather stains

gone and the developer is the next man to come
along but there is always an interval of two or
three years, and this is the between times. This
state is more like Pennsylvania than any have
yet seen. You have all that Pennsylvania has
and great deal more-the precious metals. In
fact, the iron we make in Pennsylvania is not
our own iron. We make charcoal iron, but the
bulk OF our iron ore comes from other states to
be manufactured

CAPTAIN JONES. ENEMIES.
Paymaster and Inspector Visit Fort
Townsend's Militia Company.


Townsend's Militia Company.
PORT TOWNSEND, Feb. 2.-[Special. stormy
scenes were expected at the inspection OF Com
pany l at the opera-house tonight, and for a
time appearances were warlike. The company
had been ordered to report for inspection and
muster under Colonel Henry Landes, paymaster
general On account OF the opposition to Cap
tain Jones many members OF the company re-
fused to report for duty. Charles Esplin came
from Seattle today to pay of the company at
muster. 1t is claimed by these members that
Esplins coming at this time was for the pur-
pose of getting big turnout of the company in
order to make sufficient showing and prevent
the company's being mustered out OF service.
Eighteen members were in the ranks,
and ten non-commissiored officers and
privates were present without uniforms
and would not enter the ranks. They de-
manded pay of Espln, and he said he would
only pay those in uniforms who signed the
muster roll, or that they would have to go to
Seattle for their pay. Hot words followed, but
trou lie was averted, and the mutinous mem
bers subsequently signed the pay roll and got
checks for their paw. Esplfn said he was act
ing under orders from headquarters.
Captain Jones claims that sufficient number
of members were absent on leave to make the
requisite number for preventing the company's
being mustered out Colonel Landes will re-
port the facts as he found them, and will IN
vestigate whether the absentees were absent on
leave. The findings in the matter will be sent
to Olympia ON Monday

A CLEAN STEAL.
Pittsburg Robs Seattle of "Kid" Camp,
Reserved PLAYER.

Reserved Player.
Notwithstanding the high standing of
the platform adopted by the big twelve
club league at the time of its organization
in Indianapolis last December, and the
promise of ample protection to minor
leagues, at least one of the dozen clubs has
at the outset deliberately set about break
ing the obligations assumed. 1t has been
guilty of seizing Pitcher Camp, player
on Seattle's reserve list, and who can I'M
der baseball law go nowhere else until re-
leased by the local club.
Recent reports going the rounds in East
ern papers to the effect that Pittsburg had
secured the young twirler are now con-
firmed by an official bulletin from Presi-
dent n. E. Young, promulgating CAMPS
contract with Pittsburg. Corroborative
evidence is had in late announcements of
the sporting press, among which is the
following from ''Circle," the Pittsburs
correspondent of the Sporting Life; "Camn
our new pitcher, has been signed on hear
say booming and newspaper records, but
they are all good. Manager Buckenberger
is delighted over his capture and
said this afternoon: Circle, 1 don't
believe ever felt as sure
ABOUT young pitcher as L do about this
man. Glenalvin told me he was cracker.
and everybody who comes fromshe Coast
has been giving him send-off Did You
see the Sporting Lite's Seattle correspond
ence? You know how they talk about a
man out there Camp had just returned
home from the Coast when we nailed him
through Rus Mckelvy, the old-timer.'
The action of the Pittsburg club is a con-
temptible one, and is in keeping with its
reprehensible methods in the cases of
Catcher Grim and Third-baseman LYONS.
1t has violated the essence of the
old national agreement, which is to be
the basis of new one. 1t was
intended that its principles should hold in
force until tie adoption of the new code.

CHINESE oUTwIT THE LAW.
How 1lO of Them Managed to Get Into
California.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 12.-District Judge Nor
row, on January % fixed today for the appear
ance in court of 40 Chinese who were given
liberty on bonds, but who were to have been
remanded today to the custody of the
United States marshal to be returned
to China. Each principal had two
Chinese sureties on his bond, and in all there
appeared to be over 400 Chinese interested in
the proceedings, and in case the principals
failed to appear the suretes were liable for the
gross sum of $4,000. Neither principals nor
sureties appeared in court today, and Judge
Morrow ordered that all the cases be defaulted
and the bonds forfeited. When, however. Judge
Morrow issued an order looking to the collection
of the amounts due from the sureties, Assistant
United States Attorney Witter said that under
the ruling by Attorney General Miller no suits
were authorized by the government against
sureties where recovery was not probable
Miller was instructed to ask for another ruling
in this case from the attorney general, but it is
understood that but few OF the bonds are sup
posed to be collectible.
