CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
A Judge Causes the Arrest OF mn
AuDIicnnt for Citizenship.

Abraham Rosenthai, twenty-five years
old. was arrested late this afternoon In
the Special Term Of the Court of Com
mon Pleas, upon the order of Judge Gle
Rerich. on a charge of perjury In at
tempting to secure naturalization pa
pers.
Rosenthal was before Judge Giegerich
Yesterday with an application for citi-
zenship papers He stated that he
lived al lb3 Orchard street. His witness
was Jacob Levine, of 79 clinton street
After questioning the men, Judge Gie-
gerich became convinced that either
Rosenthal or his witness was not tell
ing the truth. so he refused TO natural
lie the former. ~
This afternoon. just before the closing
of the court, Rosenthal appeared before
Judge Giegerich again. he gave the
same name, but changed the address to
ls9 Madison street His witness to-
day was Ike Miller, OF 10 Stanton street.
Judge Giegerich thought he recognized
Rosenthal as man he had refused yes
terday He questioned him, but Rosen-
thai swore he had not made former
application. Judge Giegerich then sent
for Clerk Luce, VINO found Rosenthai :
applicatio OF yesterday, and also recog
nized him. The Judge ordered Rose
thai arrested and he was sent over TO
the United states District-Attorney' 5
office Mr.. Mott held that as the
statutes do not require an oath taken as
to residence, no perjury had been com
mitted, and that the Government could
not prosecute. He directed that Rosen-
thai be returned to the Court OF Com
mon Pleas.

AUSTIN GIBB0NS'S BACKER.
His Suit Against Jack McAuline
Heard on Appeal.

Argument was heard in the General
Term OF the Supreme Court to-day
upon the appeal Of Jack McAuliffe from
the verdict directed by Justice Law
renee in favor of James Stoddard and
against McAuliffe for 81 800.
The suit grew out OF the fight be-
tween McAuliffe and Austin Gibbons in
the Granite Athletic Club. in Hoboken.
several years ago. Stoddard was Glib
bons's hacker. The Club gave a purse
of $1,000, and each contestant put up
$500 Stoddard put up the $500 for
Gibbons. The police interfered. but the
referee decided in favor OF McAuliffe.
Stoddard brought suit against Richard
X. Fox, the stakeholder. to recover the
money deposited for Gibbons. Mr.. Fox
turned the money over to the court and
McAuliffe was substituted as defendant.
To-day II was contended by Mr.. Stod-
dard's counsel that the money was a
wager and comes under the statute
against betting and that therefore
Stoddard is entitled to his money.
McAuliffe's counsel held that the con-
test was not a prize-fight, but was a
legal exhibition of boxing. and that Nc
Aullffe was entitled to the money as a
prize for his skill.
Decision was reserved.

TO INVITE OXFORD ATHLETES.
Three Representative Clubs May
Cooperate in the Plan.
The New York Club VIII Send n
Team Over If the scheme Fails.

The Board OF Governors OF the New
York Athletic Club held special meet
ing last night in the. clubhouse. at
Fifty-fifth street and Sixth avenue.
during which very important business
was transacted.
The Athletic Committee. of which Mr..
Benny c. Williams Is chairman. offered
suggestion to the Board that inter-
national games be arranged between the
oxford team OF England, and the New
York Athletic Club, in cooperation with
the Schuylkill Navy, OF Philadelphia,
and the Boston Athletic Association.
The proposition as outlined is for a
series of three contests. one to be de-
cided in ihis city, one In Boston and
another in Philadelphia. The Board OF
Governors approved the idea, and the
Boston Association and Schuylkill Navy
will be Immediately asked for their CO.
operation.
should they consent, as they prob
ably will the oxford team will be noti-
fled by the New York Athletic Club.
Mr.. williams told an Evening World'
reporter this morning that II the ar
rangements between the Schuylkill
NAVY anu bosNOl H'il''iS <N's'N'e''S
we're completed. he sees no reason why
the oxford team should refuse to visit
this country. as the Yale team went
over there, and they should return the
compliment.
This suggestion on the part OF the
New York Athletic Club is the first OF
It's kind ever made, and should the OK
ford team visit this country next year
the meeting would probably be the
greatest athletic event ever held In the
United States, as the athletes OF this
city will not feel contented until they
defeat the Englishmen who defeated
the Yale team.

ton AthlctiC Association refuse to CO.

This year that will be Nov. II.
President Byrne. OF the Brooklyn Club,
was at the Broad street Office OF the New
York Club early this morning and he
pooh-poohed the story. too. About the
only possible foundation for the tale
seems to lie In the fact that President
John T, Brush. OF the Cincinnati Club. is

The consensus OF opinion at baseball II
headquarters this morning was that no
meeting OF the League was even antici-
pated.
The mere fact OF this Association
being about to meet here and organize
does not give the National League the
shivers," remarked one of the mag
mates. With the memory OF the
Brotherhood war quite fresh in most
mems memories, II won't be the easiest
thing In the world to get financiers TO
twenty, thirty or forty thousand dollars
apiece. The only place they could get
TO play on within a reasonable distance
OF the centre of this city would be a
roof garden"
All denied absolutely that Mr.. Brush
had sent out any warning circular letter
to the other League magnates, urging a
conference to consider the proposed new
organization. Certainly no such doCu-
ment has been received by the officials OF
the New York club.
Among those at the club rooms was
HuSl Westervelt. When the story OF
the New York players having arranged
20 "whaCk up" their share OF the re-
ceip- of the Temple Cup series with
several OF the Baltimore players was
broa Ched he said:
That's the first I've heard of II. Why,
George Davis wanted TO wager his en-
tire share OF the proceeds that we would
win all four games. You wouldn't catch
Davis, Doyle and the others dickering
on sure thing"
Not an oftiCial Of the Club believes the
bows made any private deal with Han
Ions men, and they felt indignant at the
statement to that effect which had
found its way into print.
