Two Players for Hawley.
Cleveland Magnate Also Offered
$1,000 for Breitenstein.
BOTH ARE DECLINED.
PeterMaher is VeryComfortably
Situated, Thanks.
Bennett Offers $4,000 to Half
on His Racers.

PITTsBURG, Jan. 24-The sensation in
the base ball world is the big offer made
for Pitcher Hawley by President Robi-
son of the Clevelands. This seems like
the good old days when king Kelly"
was on the diamond
Last evening he landed in this city,
dispatched about a half dozen messen-
gers to fnd President Kerr and rush the
latter to the union depot. MIR. Kerr
doomed up at the depot on short no.
tice. and there Mr.. De Hass Robinson
said:
"Mr. Kerr, have stopped over here
to offer you $4,000 and TWO players for
Pitcher HawIey. What have you to say
about it?
MIR. Kerr lost his breath for awhile
and sank to a seat Then he thought
that Mr.. Robson was joking, and a
smile bagan to dawn on the Pittsburger's
face. But the Cleveland magnate main
tanned his stern look at Mr. Kerr and
resumed:
We'll, what have you to says I mean
it. Pm not joking"
Mr. Kerr realized that Mr.. Robson
was in earnest and said:
Why $4,000 is a great amount of
money; but what would we do if we sold
Hawley? Oh, no! We cannot under
any circumstances part with Hawley,
and We'll not let him go for any amount
of money"
Mr. Robson turned to the writer and
said:
81 want Hawley at any cost, simply
because ! want 10 win the pennant for
once. l firmly believe. that if we had
Hawley, his pitching with that of Young,
Cuppy and Ehret would win the pennant
of 1895 for US, and then l would be salts
fed. l am anxious to have Hawley."
Mr. Robson continued: II offered
Won der Abe $1,000 in cold cash for
Breitenstein only few weeks ago and
the offer was declined"

She and Hcr Companions May Enter Tur-
key. But Not Red Cross Agents.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Owing to the
energetic representations of United
States Minister Terrell, Miss Barton and
her party will be permitted by the Turk
ish government to distribute relief to the
distressed Armenians, although the Red
Cross will not figure in the work.
This news came to the state depart
ment today in a cablegram from the
minister to Secretary Olney in which he
says that while the porte refuses such
permissonto the Red Cross, or to them en-
bers of Red Cross, as such, and thereby
declines to officially recognize the secre-
tary it will permit any person whom the
minister names and approves to distrl-
butte relief ia the interior of Turkey pro-
vided the Turkish authorities are kept
informed of what they are doing. There
can be no question that Miss Barton and
her party will be so designated by Mr..
Terrell.
But it is apprehended that they will
encounter almost insurmountahle obstac-
les in reaching the field of action, as the
mountain passes between the seaboard
and the interior are now practically i'm
paSssable owing to the deep SHOWS

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT
Furnished by the Associate Press to
the State Journal.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-There was little
force to trade today. The telegraph ser
vice was poor not having recovered from
the damage by sleet of yesterday. Out
side orders were scanty but the effect of
these the first hour was higher level
for prices. As soon as the outside buy
ing was over there was an easier feeling.
On May contracts the early sales were at
625s to 627a. to 621s, wheat; 2915 to 293S,
coru; 2056 10 2012, oats; $1u70 to $1075,
pork; $5.9214 to 1896, lard; $5.371a to
SIS. 40, ribs.
Hogs were posted at 1900 and higher
and helped the buying of products. Ca
bles came 34d higher on wheat from
Liverpool and helped the opening of
that market
Northwest wheat receipts were $50
cars, last week 1913, last year 195. With
the local trade generally playing for
reaction in wheat the stubborn markets
proved rather surprise.

CATHOLICS MUST KEEP OUT
Ban Placed by the Pope knights of
Pythias, odd Fellows and Others

Ban Placed by the Pope on Knights of
Pythias, odd Fellows and Others
Boston, Jan. PA special to the
Traveller, from New York says that the
ban placed by the Catholic church upon
the orders of Knights of Pythias, Sons of
Temperance and Odd Fellows is abso-
lutte and offers no further discussion.
This is the mandate of the pope through
his official representative, Cardinal
Satolli he three orders named have a
Roman Catholic membership in round
numbers of nearly a hundred thousand.
One month ago "a number of Catholics
connected with the Pythian orgaiza-
ton organized committee of appeal
in the hope a proper presentation before
the papal delegate would result in a re-
call of the interdict.
In response to invitations the commit
tee received q thousand letters from
prominent Catholics in all parts of the
country, heartily endorsing the move
ment, pledging moral and financial aid.
In response to a request to appoint
day for hearing a representative COM
mittee on the matter. Cardinal Satolli
replied to the committees secretary:
Dear SRI have received your letter
of Jan. 20, and in reply l would say that
the matter of the condemned society
is entirely out of my hands. The
last instruction of Rome was that the
condemnation was absolute and admits
of no further discussion. 1t was how
ever provided that if there seemed to be
particular reasons for making excep-
tons in any individual case the matter
might be referred to Rome through the
bishop of the diocese. Ii you have any
thing to submit in the matter il must all
be done through your arch bishop. With
sentiments of pect, l remain, most
faithfully, Yours in Christ,

RID OF A JOINTIsT.
Between Arrest and Trial a Whole Family
Skips Out.

HUTCHINSON, Jan. 24-Last week
County Attorney Fall went down to
Haven and arrested E. Philips for violat-
ing the prohibitory law, in conjunction
with the sheriff
No bond was required of Philips, as he
had family there and it was not thought
that he would care to wander from his
own Preside. But there is where MIR.
Philips fooled them. He didn't care to
wander from his family, SO he took them
with him.
When County Attorney Fall went to
Haven yesterday to try the case Philips
had gone-hed-skipped.
While the custodian of the peace and
dispenser of justice slept on, serene in
the confidence that Philips would stay in
the city, Philips gathered his flock about
him, packed his gripsack and-there was
no trial, for want of prisoner.
