AGANG OF THIEVES
Is Discovered on the White Star
Steamer Britannia.

New York, Aug. 9.-Further evidence
of the conspiracy among some of the
officers of the White Star line steamer
Britannia to steal and smuggle was re-
ported to the chief of police today. In
the rooms of Third officer John Kynas-
ton, who is under arrest here, and First
officer J. w. Jago, the first officer who
disappeared after the arrest of kynas-
ton on Friday last were found three
receipts for registered packages mailed
on Friday in New York. These pack
ages were sent by Jago to London on
the Cunard line steamer Etruria, due
in London next Friday 1t is believed
that they contained money and valu-
ables stolen from the Britannia during
her trip over. The Britannia arrived In
New York on Friday and the packages
were posted in New York shortly after
ward.
Chief Murphy has learned that the
lace which the accused tried to SNUG
gle from the Britannia to the dock was
part OF the cargo of the vessel and that
shippers of the lace were not in the plot
to defraud the government.
Chief of Police Murphy said today
that as the White Star line was
British corporation and as English mail
was opened the British authorities have
jurisdiction in the matter

erness to entwine fingers of cordial greet
ing. But the war has had a depressing
effect all around, and I am afraid that
there won't be many cold bottles opened
at the fall convention of the National
League of Professional Baseball Clubs"
Still it is too early in the season to begin
the scrapping now, Mr.. Nagnates. Just
wait until the players have gone to their
winter homes and have donned their rab-
bit shooting outfits. Then sail into each
other and fight as much as you please, and
the general public won't care rap.
The losses of some of the clubs this year
promise to be the heaviest since the ill
fated Brotherhood outbreak. The poor
showing of the New York and Brooklyn
teams will cost the respective manage
ments a great deal of money. New YOrk's
losses on the season are estimated at any
thing from $50, 900 to $40, 600. For the
sake of the game, it is hoped that the
amount will be less. Over in Brooklyn
President Ebbets has had a hard row to
hoe. When the club decided to move back
to south Brooklyn, everybody thought the
troubles of the management were a thing
of the past Everybody would have hit
the nail on the head if the team had played
any sort Of baseball. The people of Great
er New York, however, will have none of
tail end baseball, and that is the reason
why the attendance in Brooklyn this year
has been so bad. In Washington they have
had second class baseball so long that the
natives would not know what to think of
it if Wagner secured a really first class
team, like they have at Baltimore and
Boston.
KID Nichols, the fountain head of
the pitching department of the champion
BOstons, has surprised his critics this year
by his excellent all round work. Before
the season started it was pretty generally
believed that Nichols had seen his best
days, and that was the main reason why
many critics looked for the pennant to go
to some other city. Boston certainly has
q jewel in this cowboy from farOf Kansas
City, and if Manager Selee is wise he will
nurse his trump card as much as possible.
Nichols will be needed badly in the final
round up in late September and early Oc-
tober, and if he does too much work now
he may give out in an even more positive
manner than he did last year. Nichols is
q good tempered fellow. easy to handle and
anxious to work. He wears the same size
hat he carried with him when he made his
debut at Boston, and if Boston succeeds
in retaining the pennant nobody on the
team will have done as much to deserve
the plaudits of Boston as that same Kid. -
The champions, however, have been
having the worst sort of luck for some
time past, and there are many who think
that the team will have a hard time of it
in keeping up its winning streak. With
several of it's strongest players on the hos
pital list, the champions have kept up in
Inc style. If the indisposed players round

A SOCIETY CIRCUS.
Mrs. o. n. P. Belmont Amuses Her
Guests in a UNIQUE Way.

New York, Aug. 9.-Gray Craig, Oliver
Belmonts farm in Middletown, was
last evening the scene of the largest
and most unique party thus far this
season. The affair was given by Mrs.
.. H. F. Belmont, Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish and Mrs. Herman Oelrichs. There
were about 200 guests.

Adams gave concert, Berger's Hun
Sar1an band played for the dancing,
and the Ocean House orchestra fur
nlshed accompaniment for the variety
performance led by Alice AthertOn,
whose laughing song went as well as in
the Willie EdOuin Bunch of Keys
days. A wild west troupe, with cow
boys ana coWg1rls, was brought from
Rocky Point also several fortune tell
ers, palmists, etc. There was a merry
go-round, steam caliope, and all the
adjuncts of a circus, including the
wooden rows of darby babies that must
be hit in the head if cigars are to be
won.
Many boats piled over the Gray Craig
artificial lake, which was Illuminated
by miniature lighthouse. All the trees
were electrically Illuminated, a large
lighting plant being installed for the oc-
caslon- There was search light stead
lily focused upon a splendid American
nag Fully 1900 reflector lanterns and
800 red, white and blue buttercup
lamps reinforced the moonlight. There
was a continuous display of fireworks
the whole evening.
The event was STYLED a dinner picnic
The guests were received at $50 under
a canopy. Dinner was served in a big
tent electrically Illuminated in most
surprising designs. Dancing in the
barn, owing to the multitudinous at
fractions was intermittent. There was
also a buffet dinner. The guests all
drove to the farm in their own car =
riages and breaks, which were there

The cOtillOni was supposed to end
about midnight, but it was much later
before all present were driven home in
hay carts and farmers wagons. New

school at Gray Craig by letting loose

LOSSES IN BASEBALL.
How Hard Some Of the Big
Clubs VIII Be Hit.
LYNCH Is A FAITHFUL UMPIRE.

Why Should Not the Brush Rule Apply
to MaEnates as Wen PIayers?-Home
Sentiment an Important Element Of
Success.
The Brush rule is good thing, but it
does not go far enough. This is the opin-
ion of many of the magnates who are in
favor of gentlemanly and sportsmanlil1e
conduct on the green diamond field. While
the rule is a splendid one on the whole,
the impression is beginning to creep out
that it can be improved. Some are of the
opinion that the rule should apply to the
managers, club directors and umpires as
well as to the players. If the scope of the
rule were increased, it is possible that
there would be fewer riots and disgraceful
scenes on the field.
Genuine regret has been expressed by all
lovers of the game at the latest outbreak at
New York, in which the president of the
club took such an important part. Andrew
Freedman has been roasted" pretty gen
orally since he secured control of the New
York club three years ago, and he has been
hauled over the redhot Goals of criticism
more frequently than any other man ever
connected with professional baseball in
America He does not seem to mind the
criticism, however, but appears to invite
it. Still there are those who think that
"Ducky'' Holmes should be punished for
the part he played in the proceedings. The
spectator who called Holmes lobster
was a loafer, that is pretty generally
granted, but Holmes had no right to an
swer him or to pay any attention to him.
When Holmes retOrted that he was glad
he no longer worked for a 'Sheeny," he
hit Freedman in a soft spot, and the New
York magnate lost his head, with the re-
suit that he rushed on the field, and the
game was forfeited to Baltimore. New
York may be fined anything from 500 to
81, 800.
Some of the friends of the warning fac
tions are venting their spite on Umpire
Lynch, and they are doing a worthy Off
cial a positive injustice. Lynch said he
did not hear Holmes say anything, and
when he said it he told the truth. If there
is a capable and fearless umpire on the
field today, it is that same Lynch. He is
on the field to deal out justice to all, he
knows no fear and he gives every decision
as he sees it. Would for the good of base
ball that there were more Lynchesl

He was asked what there was in the
reports of his being the Tammany can

ator Jones of Arkansas. Mr.. Stone re-
piled:
Il have not formed a coalition with

Eugene Leonard Determined Not to

Newton, Kan, Aug. 9.-Eugene Leon
ard today in justice court levied upon a
locomotive engine, the first time in
legal history here that such a novel
thing has occurred. The Stearns COM
pany of Erie, Pa, built the engine in
the case for Arizona mountain service
some time ago, but it was found de-
ficient for the work required and was
sent back to the factory. The engine
was run over the Santa Fe this far
on it's own wheels, but an accident rem
dered it necessary to send it the rest
of the way on a fiat car.
Leonard was commissioned by the
company prior to it's removal from the
west to take it back to the factory.
but now finds his job gone and himself
out about $125 expenses and wages. He
has sued for the money and has levied
on the engine meanwhile.

WHERE THE MONEY WENT.
Supplies Purchased for Hospitals by
Patriotic Women.

New York, Aug. "a special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The sick and wounded of the army
may never realize the full extent of
their debt to patriotic women who have
so heartily cO-Operated in rendering eff
fectiVe assistance to the military Surgi-
cal corps in the present war. A notable
instance of the results achieved is found
in a partial report of the committee
which conducted an art loan exhibit
ton in Washington during April. This
was the first organization to devote
its proceeds in this manner. The net
receipts were $4,3SS, which were sub
sequently increased by gifts from gen
erOuS women, whose names were with
held at their own request.
The money was spent after the dis
bursement committee had investigated
the greatest needs in various localities
so as to avoid duplication and to give
what was really lacking. Naturally,
the greatest attention was paid to the
Fort Meyer hospital where the very
large number of typhoid fever patients
from Camp Alger were taken. These
patients came from all parts of the
union and all of them without favor,
participated in the benefits of this en-
terprise of Washington women In ad-
ditiOn to the numerous comforts Which
would have been impossible of attain
ment under the army system, the mon
ey was expended for such indispen-
sables as the following, taken hap
hazard from the list, to show how those
women anticipated the wants of the
sick: One hundred and sixty fly screens,
four patent fever tubs, 400 stamped
envelopes, go lead pencils, 100 pads of
writing paper, 16 lamps and shades, 8
lanterns, u pairs of crutches, "a combs
and brushes two pairs of BARRIERS clip
pers, 200 fans, 1000 sheets of fly paper,
$50 yards of rubber sheeting. two dozen
ice bags, quantities of bath towels. sta
tionery, feeding cups, kitchen utensils
and numerous surgical appliances.
Similar supplies were sent to the Z.
S. general hospital at Fort Mcpherson,
Ga, and the following gifts of money
were made: United States naval am
bulance ship Solace, $500; army hospital
ship Relief, $500; hospital at Fort Mon
amauga, $50; District volunteers at
Chickamauga, $25, and medicine sup
plies for District volunteers at Tampa,
$3.50.

PLENTY OF PLASTER.
Central Kansas Mills Can Run for 20
Years on Full Time.

Dillon, Kas., Aug. 9.-The improve
ment in the building trades has made
a large demand for the stuccO manufac-
tured from the plaster found in the
south part of this county. While the
beds in some parts Of the state are
showing signs of being exhausted, those
in this county are being worked as US
uaI and have a large supply for the
future.
The Dillon Cement Plaster company,
whose works are at this place, are run
ming to their fullest capacity and sur
veys and Investigations show that they
have in their deposits enough to supply
the mills on the average of five car
loads a day for twenty years to come.
The mills here have furnished a great
deal of plaster for the Omaha EXPOSE
ton buildings and the demand for Kan
sas cement is all the time increasing.

500 GERMAN VOICES
Will Sing in Honor of Prince Bismarck
in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Germans of Chi
cago will pay tribute to Prince Bis
marck by memorial mass meeting on
Monday evening, August Is, at the Au-
ditorium. The executive committee of
the impromptu organization was in
formed yesterday morning that the Au-
ditorium was available for that even
ing, and the decision was made at once.
The question of programme was con-
sidered in a general way, with the re-
suit that the speakers announced def
nitely are Luther Latin Mills and Pro-
fessor Camille Won Klenze of the Uni
versity of Chicago. The latter's eulogy
will be in German, while Mr.. Mills will
make the English address.
The preparation of the music pro-
gramme was left to Hans Balatka, mu-
steal director. Mr.. Balatka called a
meeting last night at Jung's Hall of the
leaders of the different German singing
societies and secured from them the
promise of a chorus of 500 voices. He
will conduct the chorus and lead the
orchestra.
The songs selected were: 1.-THE Pray
er Before the Battle" by Moehring;
THE Watch on the Rhine" the German
national air: and 1.-The Star Spangled
Banner Plans for rehearals were per-
fected also. Director Balatka expects
to have a chorus that will fill the great
hall with the volume Of sound.

TWO MEN SHOT BY A BOY.
Felker Brothers Quarrel With a Ho-
tel Proprietor at Herndon.

Atwood, Kan, Aug. "a serious
shooting ARRAY occurred at Herndon,
Kan, Sunday at ? o'clock p. m, which
resulted in the fatally wounding of AL
bert Felker, shot through the right
breast, and his brother Fred through
the arm: The shooting was done by
John Pettys, son of S. H. Pettys, pro-
prietor of the Hotel Herndon, also of
the livery barn in that city.
Ihe FeIker brothers are residents of
Nebraska, and in company with several
young fellows have been operating a
thresh1ng machine in the vicinity of
Herndon. The cause of the shooting
was the claimed misrepresentation of
iced at the stable by the Felker broth
ers. Albert Felker and the elder Pettys
quarreled over the matter, which re-
suited in Pettys being knocked down,
when his son John interfered, shooting
both of the Felkers as above stated.
The county coroner, attorney and dep
uty sheriff were summoned by wire.
Felker not being dead, the coroner re-
turned home this morning, leaving the
county attorney and sheriff on the field
who are in possession of the prisoners,
and will hold a preliminary examina-
ton of the participants at Herndon to-
