N1RR1GANSETT HOTEL.
President Powers Has the Springfield
Nine Proxy Delegates from light
Cities,

The atmosphere of the Narragansett
Hotel savored very strongly of baseball
this afternoon as the magnates and play
ers gathered in the corridors to talk
over the situation, and later in secret
meeting. The SC edule meeting OF the
Eastern league began at o'clock today
aud will be concluded tomorrow.
The delegates from the several clubs
began to arrive this morning, and at
noon were nearly all present. Albany
was represented by s. L. FLssett, Erie by
John Depinet and &. ii. Horton, Buffalo

man, Binghampton by A 5. Patten,
Wilkesbarre by John Irwin, Troy by
james d. Maloney. Providence by L. S.
dent Powers Of the Eastern league was
also present and held the proxy of
Springfield.
1t was thought verv probable that
Spring gfield would be admitted, as at the
meeting in that place yesterday more
than half OF the necessary capital was
subscribed. Scranton, Pa, did not show
any enthusiasm, not a delegate appear
ing to press their claim.
Among the players who strolled about
the corridors were Catcher Tommy Cahil
of the Troy club, Slattery of the Bing-
hamptous. Murpny OF the last year s
Providence team, Jim sullivan, our star
pitcher, and otuers.
Ate O'clock the delegates went into
secret session. The schedule was all
drawn. but it was expected that there
would be long discussion over Its
adoption. The proposed changes in the
coustii ution IL is thought Will cause a
long debate when they come up.

Third Ward CanVaSSeFS Arrested by
U. S. Marshal KendriCk.
HEARING SET FOR NEXT MONDAY.
Bondsmen Easily Found by the Canvass

Hearing he Held by Another Com
mission OverruIed by Mr. Blodgett

Chief Supervisor Blodgett is deter
mined to test the law under which he Is
acting, and as a test case issued warrants
for the arrest Of the members of the
board of the Third ward last night
United States Marshal Kendrick served
the warrants on John j. Gilmartin,
Richard McGuy. Augustine Giblin,
Joseph ii. Kelly and Edward GA allagher.
THIS morning the arrested gentlemen
appeared before Mr.. Blodgett acting In
his capacity of United States commis-
sioner and were arraigned. George j:
West appeared for the defendants. All
pleaded not guilty, and by order OF The
court furnished bonds in the sum OF $500
each TO appear for the hearing at 10 "A. NJ,

]. j. Gilma rtin. Fergus j. McOsker: ior
Richard Nc Guy Robert ID. Scattergood;
for James III. Kelly. Edw. Gallagher; for
Augustine Gi bin, John Is. Walsh; for
Edw. Gallagher Owen McOsker.
Mr.. Blodgett at first objected TO accept
ing Mr. Gallagher as bondsman for Mr..
Kelly on the ground that the former
was one of the defendants. Mr.. West
called the attention of the court to the
fact that the defendant was pi esumed To
be innocent until he Is Judged guilty.
ana on further consideration Mr. Blod-
gett decided to accept Mr.. Gallagher as
bondsman.
MIR. West requested that the hearing
be held before some other commissioner
than Mr. Blodgett. He made the request
he said not because OF any doubt as TO
the strict impartiality of Mr.. Blodgett,
but because in these cases he
appeared as the complainant. the justice
who issued the warrant, the judge who
arraigned the defendants, ana the judge
who would sit at the hearing. Mr.. West
thought the presumption was In favor OF
some other con missioner sitting at the
hearing.
tn. other commissioners are Samuel
4. Douglas and Lorin NJ Cook.
Commissioner Blodgett took the mat
ter into consideration and decided TO
hold the bearings himself, refusing Mr..
Vests request.
This is a test case brought by Mr..
Blodgett on the refusal of the canvassers
OF the Third ward to remove name

Assistant Supervisor Cleaseby. Satur..

This brought forth great deal Of feini-

pialned that the first she knew Of the pub
licaiion Of the deposition was when she
saw the members Of the press with type
written copies. and she at once notified the
officers q the board.
Mrs Meredith then made her report, In
Guided IN which was the Information that
every member OF the committee had
signed letter addressed TO Mrs. Palmer
asking that Mrs. Bail be excused from
further service on the committee.
Then the trouble began and for three
hours one parliamentary question after
another was raised until even the man
who sits as a parliamentary expert at Mrs
Palmer's side and advises her. was be-
