CLASH OF LEGAL OPINION
Judge Dent of West Virginia Con-
tests a Federal Decision.
Entoining a United States Marshal
May Result In Charge OF
Contempt Of Court.

The first official act of the new Solici-
tor General of the Department OF Justice,
Richards, will probably bring on CLASH
between the Fed eraI and the West Virginia
State authorities. 1t Is said that Mr.. Rich
arcs is well within the right, and thai the
West Virginia authorities seem destin ed to
come out of the trouble very bad second
There is a lady In the case, and Mr.. Rich
ards sided with the lady.
Judge NJ II. Dent, of the supreme court
OF West Virginia, may today he before
Judge Jackson, of the United states u
preme Court, for contempt.
The trouble is over a piece or property
mt Harper's Ferry, once belonging to the
United states. IL arose in this interesting
fashion orty-four years ago: In 1854 Alex
ander Kelly traded to TIE Unite'l states
a piece OF ground for another lot, part
OF the arsenal property ut Harper 5 Ferry
There WAS no deed of the transfer, but lt
was recorded in the department at wash
in gton, and the record Is SIN To be
found. After many years this property
fen into the hands of Kelly's granddaugh-
ter Miss Ella NJ. Hendricks.
In 1898 the Government elected Miss
Hendricks and leased the property TO
Mr.. E Cummings. 1t is alleged that
this ejectment was entirely without right,
and that ii W as made with the false idea
that Miss Hendricks was a squatter. 1t
is said that the United states got this
idea through Misrepresentation by man
named G. W. Graham.
The young lady was poor and unable
at tie time TO take any legal steps 20 re-
gain her property. A few months ago,
however. she put the matter into the hands
Of law yer OF Harper's Ferry, who worked
on the case with the last Administra-
ton, but could accomplish nothing. When
Solicitor General Richards came in, how
ever, he was interested in the case inn
mediately, and went TO the bottom OF 1t.
He communicated with the Solicitor of
the Treasury a few days ago the opinion
that the Government hid aided in commit
ting O wrong, and directed that the United
States marshal restore the property TO
Miss Hendricks. This was done, and the
lady is now in possession of her lot.
The people on the other side are wealthy
and of political prominence. Judge Dent
was persuaded to issue an Injunction re-
straining the United States marshal from
ejecting Mr.. Cummings. lie issued the in
junction, but the ejectment went on just
The same. And it is probable that Judge
Dent may be punished for contempt.

bauser, twenty-six years old, silk weaver
employed at Simon's silk mill, has gone
crazy through reading the accounts Of the
sufferings of the striking coal miners,
and Is now under general restraint at his
home.
While at work In the mill Saturday after
noon he startled his fellow employees by
dropping bis work and bursting into fit
OF weeping. He finally announced that the
cause of bis grief was the thought of the
direful condition OF the striking coal min
ers, and proposed that every man In this
part OF the country should pitch in and help
them.
He was resting quietly at his home yes
terday, but his mind is still affected, and
he begs TO be allowed to go to the coal dis
trict, where he says lie VIII stop the strike

Philadelphia, July 27-There is trouble
brewing for the National League nagnates
and the players and their friends are slowly
but surely pcrfectng a strong organiza-
in every club, and not only promises but
agreements have been secured from some
OF the best players ia the National League
that they will play with the new organi-
Zation.
The men are not afraid OF the magnates
stopping them from playing with the new
organization, as the decision OF the court
in the case of the Philadelphia bail club
against William Hallman in the brotherhood
fight, clearly demonstrated that the re-
serve rule would not hold in law.
A meeting, which was guarded with great
secrecy, was held In this city Sunday at
the house of well-known man. Reports
were received from several cities. a close
watch has been kept on the tumstiles, and
the amount Of money that each club has
made is known. No fancy salaries will be
paid in the new organization, although the
limit Will be little above what the Ma
tional League is paying.
The venture Is purely business one e, and
at least forty well-known players nave put
their names Ola it, An option of grounds
has been secured In several cities, and the
circuit VIII be composed of eight clubs.
after an amount sufficient to pay salaries
has been earn ed a guarantee fund will be
established. The receipts from games viii
be pooled. 1t is not the purpose of the new
league to fight the old one, and no con
flicting dates will be made.
As matter OF fact, the projectors of
the new league DO not propose to make their
schedule until after the National League
have announced theirs. Then, If the Ma.
tional League schedule is changed SD as to
conflict with the new league, the latter
Will appeal to the public. Another meet

EAST AGAINST THE WEST
Standing in Regard to Games Won
and Lost on the Trip.
New York Made the Best showing
of the Eastern Contingent ana
Brooklyn the Poorest.

Just how well Washington Jared at the
hands OF the Western clubs, as compared
with the rest OF the Eastern teams, Is
shown by the accompanying table, which
also includes yesterdays games.
Brooklyn was the only team to make a
worse showing than Washington, while
the New York's record is the best of the
Eastern contingent. Boston and Balti-
more both fell below expectations, the
Beaneaters being just above the Senator'S
among the Eastern teams.
OF 1o7 battles fought, the West, as
whole, won SO, while the combined East
ern teams were victorious in 4S, which,
OF course, is attributed TO the advantage
enjoyed by the teams playing at home.
Cleveland leads the entire League in per
centage during the time referred To. being
closely followed by Cincinnati and Chi
cago, all three Western clubs,
