Ex-Secretary of the Fratern7l
League Talks of His
Arrest.
Declares That He Can and VIII
Fully Exonerate Himself
In Court.
snecial pisnatch to LIE CA1L


LOS ANGELES, Nov. H-E1-City
Clerk Charles L. Wilde. formerly national
secretary OF the American Fraternal
League, is very indignant over his arrest
OF a warrant charging him with forgery.
The complainant Is Captain f. J. Cressey,
the national president of the league.
Wilde states that there is absolutely moth
ing in the charge, and says:
~ am accused Of raising two checks,
one from 81 25 TO $81 % and one from S. 65
TO Sl55 65. All this wouli amount TO $3.50.
Now, every one knows that if / needed
that amount of money l have friends and
property here 10 secure it. 1t was I'M
necessary for me 10 commit a criminal act
to secure it. If those checks have been
raised | did rot do il. The checks were
always made ont by me and signed by
Cressey and Mayor Snyder, the national
auditor.
81 have known for some time past that
the league was in shaky condition,
but did not say any thing. Three months
ago | resigned and have ever since been
endeayoring to secure an accounting but
could not. | heard that this matter was
coming up, so | went direct to the con-
stables office and surrendere myself No
warrant was ever served on me, nor have |
been arrested. The end of this matter has
not come. l can entirely exonerate my
self and l will do so"
1t seems that Wilde ehad received num-
Der of letters of inquiry about the league,
and he answered them, telling the truth,
as he says, about its cOnd lion. This Gld
not please Cressey. Wilde has always
borne an excellent reputation for integ-
rity. He was formerly employed with
lhe Merchants and Manufacturers As'o-
citation, and last Decem Der was the R.
publican nominee for City Clerk, but
failed of election by a few votes. He is a
married man, has no bad habits, and has

Cruel, Cruel! We are now on the
roller and ready to start If Mike
don't send us good news tonight, oh,
what a wall there will be
in Rooterdom. The Panthers
are right at our heels, and if We
fail to knock the Defenders today,
Wards Wonders will pass us, for
Johnny Katy Rosson has already tele-
graphed to his San Antonio friends
that the Panthers are good for three
from the Senators.
But never mind, we are not kicking.
Don't hear howl from San Antonio
Robbed by the umpire!" Do you?
We are beaten fair and square, Not
because the Bronchos er not fast
enough for the other teams, for they
are, and there is not a gang in this
| league that can set a pace too fast for
| our herd. We are beaten not because
we are weak at the bat or in the field,
| for we have neither of these failings.
But we are beaten because of what is
| termed in baseball parlance "Old
Hard Luck"-we are hitting up in the
air or against the fieldcrs. We are
| not crippled, and are therefore making
| no excuses. But hard luck does not
| last forever, and the only consolation
| for the rooters to hope for the best
| and wait till the storm blows over.
Tomorrow winds I'D our first trip
| to North Texas, and we open at home
| with Houston next Saturday. Calves
| ton follows and then Austin, which
| gives us nine games at home, includ-
ing two Sunday games. We open at
Houston on June z for three games,
| then go to Galveston and to Austin,
| after which we return home for
twelve games with North Texas clubs
as follows, Paris, opening June
| 16; Denison, Fort Worth and Dallas,
closing the home series June 81.
| The cranks are glad to hear that
| Jack Brennan will umpire the next
series in San Antonio.
| What pity that Bill Ward did not
| give the Bronchos a whack at Brownie
Chamberlain.
If Tom Hayes pitches today as he
did against Fort Worth the Bronchos
will win.
The fact that the North Texas teams
are defeating the South Texas teams is
having a tendency of convincing some
of the fiippant cynics that the Texas
league is a little faster than they
give it credit for.
