Prcsid cnt Freedman OF the New
Works viii No' Consent.
If ScrantonS base ball franchise does
leave here it won't go to Jersey City.
Under the terms of the national agree
ment no club, expecting the protection
of that agreement can be stationed in
a city within five miles of a city hav-
ing a national agreement club, with
out the consent of the latter club.
President Andrew Freedman, of the
New York club, emphatcally refuses
to acquesce in placing an Eastern
league club i'm Jersey City, and that
settles the question
The fact that he has refused $1,000
for his consent shows that it is not
likely that he will change his mind.
Without Jersey City, Newark is not
desirable and it is safe TO argue that
Scranton and Wilkes Barre will be
welcome to stay i'm the Eastern, if they
want to stay.

STRIKE OF COAL MINERS ORDERED
the Movement Il To Commence July
Fourth with over $4,000
Men Interested.

Columbus, July "a general strike
Of miners of the United Mine Workers
| of America, has been ordered for July
4, by the national executive board,
whose headquarters are in this city,
also by the district president, as a re-
suit of the meeting held here June ~,
25 and 90.
The official call, after reviewing the
action of the last annual convention
of mine workers ut Columbus last Jan
uary. fixing the scale at 90 cents in
PENNSYLVANIA, 60 cents in Ohio and In
diana and So cents in Illinois, and its
leaving To the national executive COM
mittcc to decide when the time was
opportunc to put the new scale in OPP
GRAFTON, saws: "Thc signs Of the times,
as pointed ont by the press and by the
testimony Of men yersed in public af-
fairs, is that business is rcviving and
nm upward tendency in the prices OF
all commodities is apparent. In the
general business revival and improve
ment which is earnestly proclaimed
we ought to share, and if we do not
attempt to share we shall be false to
ourselves and to those dependent on

formed to see that action be taken at
once.
The call continues ITO insure sue
cess'great care should be exercised by
all to see that no breach of peace oc-
ours at any time or place under any
circumstances. The document is
signed by members of the executive
board and district presidents.
The officers here say 3T5, 900 men are
involved. President Rachford says
this is the best time to settle the Ques-
ton of wages as during summer the
men can utilize the little garden patch
es in obtaining n subsistence for their
families and can get along with less
clothing. The trouble arises from the
fact that, it is claimed, in the Pitts
burg district they are paying only 81
cents n ton while Ohio is paying 81.
Ohio mine owners claim Pittsburg
ought to pay 9 cents a ton Elorc than
Ohio, in order to ~equaliZe conditions
and threaten to reduce the Ohio scale
to 4j cents. The miners propose, il
possible TO make p~ittshurg raise the
scale to prevent Ohio reducing il.
~Pittsburg, July 2.-The official cir
cular ordering Il strike of coal miners
in five states was received ut headquar-
ters here from Columbus this morn
ing. Copies were at once sem to diff
ferent mines. Action on the circular
will be taken at the miners district
convention here tomorrow. There
seems to be no doubt the delegates will
come i~nstructcd>to declare n strike.

SENSATIONAL STORY
is FLOATING ABOUT
Trying to Destroy the Evidence OF
Fraud In the Matter Of
]. T. M. Pierce,
HIS ACCOMPLICES ARE VERY BUSY
New Company IA Fake, But STOCK
Traded For the Old Paper
Removed just That Much
Evidence.

Yankton. July 5.-A story is in err
culatiun mere 10 the effect thht Tue VS.
it's of a representative of the Ehgiish
creditors of j. r. NJ. Pierce have hot
been wholly in the interest OF the crcu-
itors or in the proposed Iankton INC
Norfolk railroad. According TO the
story pierce. who issued three or Tour
| million dollars in forged American Sc
curities. and fed TO South America IN
1902. was not alone in the business,
and much Of the forged paper was
pIaced on the market by an accom-
Mice who enjoyed good financial
Standing. In fact, this accomplice ~
said To have invested freely in these Sc
curitics 10 show his confidence in them
and i'm Pierce. Disclosures came, ana
Pierce fled to South America. where
he has been in hiding ever since.
Now il is said that Fiercc's accom-
plice set up the cry that hc had sui
fered the loss Of his fortune, but was
anxious 10 recover for his friends,
whom hc had induced TO invest, what
ever could he realized from the assets
of Pierce. These assets consisted OF
real property at Yankton valued az
5000 600, all Of which was mortgaged
for all il was worth. With tins prop
erty as a basis TO begin operations, Il
meeting Of Picrcc's creditors was held
in London and the lanktOn and Lon
don Development company formed.
Stock was issued TO the mount Of the
outstanding forged payer, and IT was
announced here that the E~nglishmcn
were going To put in n million or more
-. 90, .pY,rt -, r.,yai,, that which they
had already lost. The stock in this
new company was exchanged Tor the
forged paper issued by Pierce. The
process was slow and tedious. Some
of the Pierce victims knew that hy
giving up this paper they were DONG
away with all evidence of fraud and
decreasing the probability OF ever
bringing the culprit to justice. How
ever, one by one they were induced tc
part with these Pierce souvenirs, nn'
Ill now there are said To bc only tive
school bonds of small denominations
outstanding, held by IA Minneapolis
man who is willing TO exchange then
for something better, bat who wants
to be convinced that the paper he nc
ccpts is better than the forged bonds
he now holds.
1t is alleged that when the last %
this evidence shall be removed Mr.
Pierce aud his friends will enjoy ahso
lutte freedom while they indulge in thu
luxury of a 81, 800, 600 bank account. i
has required four years delay in gath
ering up this paper, and during this
period il has been frequently promisc'
that many of the improvements begun
by Pierce would be finished, the mos
important of which was the lanktor
and Norfolk railroad. The people -
Nankton have been led TO believe this
would be done, and TO give this rumoi
color il was said that when the bridg,
across the Missouri was completed an'
the railroad was built IL would be OPP
Grated by the Great Northern. Recent
ly Vice President Clough has stated
that his road was in no way interested
in these projects.

VARSITY RACE ALMOST A FlZZLE
pennsylvania ard Columbia Are Not
In IL Much With the Cor
nell BOys.


Poughkeepsie, July 5.-All the ex-
~pectations OF the lovers of American
sports that by establishing new rec
ords P~ennsylvania and Columbia would
be entitled to some admission TO what
promises to be an intercollegiate row
ing combination of three colleges
Yale, Harvard and Cornell, have been
rudely shattered. The contest on the
Hudson yesterday afternoon, whlch
had been heralded as promising Il cloSe
and exciting finish, and which each
college coach declared would be a rec
ord breaking contest. turned out TO oe
the merest sort Of a procession ana AN
apology for a race.
II is true that the water conditions
were not favorable 10 fast time, put =.
is also true that once having started
the chances were certainly equal lof
each crew. The lightest crew on me
river and the one less likely TO be aple
to stand the swells, caused by the Wlhu
blowing against the tide, came OUT OF
the contest an easy winner, ana ohly
slightly behind the record or lale ldat
week, when the latter finished second
I'm the varsity race with all the cohdl-
tions i'm her favor. The heaviest crew
in the race yesterday, Pennsylvania
found it's boat washed full of water
before the second mile was reached,
and after passing from that point was
compelled To retire from the contest.
The next heaviest crew, Columbia,
bravely heraldcd as "A rough water
crew, was so fearful OF results from the
same cause that it lost many lengths
steering inshore.
The Cornell crew rowed over the
course in the easiest kind Of Il fashion,
only hitting up the stroke, in the last
thrce-quarters of a mile in an evident
endeavor t. make fair time. Columbia
struggled on in the rear, losing length
10y length, while rowing a much quick
~ stroke than Cornell, and finally
after crossing the line her crew found
themselves almost incapable of any
further work. As if TO exhibit her
oroycss and her wonderful husbanded
strength. the cockswain turned his
boat around and rowed up a mile and
A quarter above the finish to salute de
Cratcd PENNSYLVANIA and then returned
to the BOA house.
There was really no race TO describe,
at least not after the second mile.
During the first three-quartres of a
mile the contest was rather pretty.
Pennsylvania took the water first with
a quick ierky stroke. Columbia fol-
lowing and Cornell hanging to the
rear. At the half mile Pennsylvania
was rowing a 81 and Columbia 33
stroke, while Cornell with her 81
stroke was decreasing the lead. At
the three-quarters of a mile Pennsyl,
yania had three-quarters of a length
still over Cornell. 1t was here that
the trouble seemed TO begin in tho
Pennsylvania boat.

CUSTER CHRONICLE


Bicycle fever has so infected one OF
the hospitals i'm New York that mem
bers of the staff have been making
their rounds in knickerbockers, and
the superintendent was only persuad'
ed to withdraw u ukase forbidding
such apparel in the wards by the dis
coyery that several prominent physi.
clans who visited and have charge OF
various departments OF the institution
were as culpable i'm the matter as then
juniors. The superintendent hated tc
back down, but he concluded that
there were occasions when ircum'
stances altered cases, even in matters
of that discipline in the enforcement
OF which he dOtes.
