RACE TRACK WAR.
Ed COrrigRn Is Said to Be Stirring
Up Trouble.


CHICAGO. Dec. 2O.-An attempt will be
made by a faction in the American turf
congress to pass legislation limiting the
racing season on Chicago tracks from
June Is to Nov. l. A special meeting of
the congress will be held at Covington,
Ky, Jan. 10, for the purpose of revising
the circuit plan and alrotting dates to
each track. William Schultz, president
of the turf body, and Ed Corrigan are
supposed to be the men behind the
movement. st. Louis and Oakland will
also be affected If the Schulte-Corrigan
faction succeed In the January meeting.
The object the turf promoters have in
naming dates for Chicago and st. Louis
is to benefit the racing game at Latonia,
Newport and Louisville. 1t is claimed
that the long season in Chicago and st.
Louis has done much to injure the sport
along the Ohio river, where the purses
are smaller. Corrigan's particular inter-
est is to get a knock at the California
Jockey club, of which he is a particular
enemy. Tom Williams Is proprietor

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-The entire pro-
ceedtngs in today.s session of the trial
of Roland B. Molineux for the murder
OF Mrs. Katherine j. Adams were devoted
to the examination of Judge F. Tyrrell,
of Milwaukee, handwriting expert. AL
though Mr.. TyrrelPs evidence was mainly
technical, being devoted to the peculiari-
ties in slants, curves, loops, 'pen pres
sure" and "pen habits of writings, which
he alleged were done by Molineux, 1t was
by no means tedious, and the Jurors ask
ed him questions and appeared deeply in

Mr.. Tyrrell brought out the point that
the writer Of the poison package address
could only write certain distance with
out lifting his hand or changing the posi-
ton of his pen. In this connection he
made comparisons between the address
on the poison package, the bogus Cor
nish-Harpster letter and some writings
admitted to have been done by Molineux.
He said that similar words of all the
exhibits had the same 'pen habits" He
also pointed out what he claimed to be

HANLON BELL1GERENT.
BALTIMORE, Md.-Ned Hanlon talked
forcibly and bitterly regarding the base
ball middle.
1--WE have no intention" said he, "of
paying the $500 fine imposed by the league
on Brooklyn, but no further action will
be taken untif after the holidays While
we have agreed between ourselves upon
the price we will ask for the Baltimore
club we will not name 1t until the COM
mittee asks us officially.
Il believe the circuit will remain intact
next season or, at the most, be reduced
to ten clubs. Should Baltimore and
Washington remain in l realize that the
league can make matters decidedly I'M
pleasant for US, and probably cause US
to lose money. 1t could do this by cutting
out all our holiday and Sunday dates
and giving us expensive jumps. There
will be no fun In holding out against the
determination of the league. but, after all,
we are fighting for principle. We have
been most unjustly treated and league
law has been deliberately perverted in
this Wrigley fine.

FRANKLIN SYNDICATE BOOKS.
What MiIler's Poorly Kept Accounts
Actually Reveal.

NEW YORK Nov 30.-The books taken
by the police from the offices Of the defunet
Franklin Syndicate" last Sunday, have
been examined by Inspector Brennan and
Captain Lees at the Vernon Avenue police
station in Brooklyn. The books included
several ledgers, two journals. cash book,
and a balance sheet, but the transactions
recorded in them covered only short pc
riod of the "syndicate's'' business.
The books were not well kept. but from
them a fair notion may be had of the busi-
ness of the concern from October q 10
November "a, the day on which the syn
dicate" went up. In round numbers he
took in from October q TO November "A in
cash deposits $74S, 600 Through the mai s

His expenses. computed from the record OF
the books for nine days, must have been
about sl9S 900. which would leave profit
TO the syndicate" of about $7930 600.
So far as anybody can find out, Miller
was in the syndicate business about one
year 1t is known. however, that his re
ceipts for the first nine months were not
nearly as large as his receipts for the last
three months The police think that an
estimate of s., eco 900 as Miller's clear-up
for the time be wa in business would be
too low. They place it at between $1,000, =
600 and $4,000. 100000.
