Goes In on Six-CIub League Under Pro-
| test.
This afternoon, in reply to an
urgent request from President Browne.
President NJ. III. Sexton, of the local
baseball club. answered that Rock
Island would consent to remaining in
a 6-club league, under protest. rather
than see the association 20 under,
but will persist in placing the two
remaining franchises, if it is possible,
and he believes it is, to make satisfac-
tory arrangements with acceptable
towns The season opens May 2.
Mr.. Sexton is endeavoring to have n
meeting called in Rock Island next
| week to see what can be done toward
filling out an S-club circuit.
Secretary L. G. Eddy returned last
night from Chicago. He said Pat
Wright, manager of the Springfield
team, informed him that Springfield
would not have withdrawn but for
he action of Peoria, and that if the
latter town would retain it's franchise
the capital city would do so. So it
appears that Peoria is responsible for
the present trouble.
President j. Stanley Browne says in
his paper, the Rockford Star: "a
message received from the Rock
Island club yesterday stated they
were ready TO play ball but rather
objected to n six-club league. Rock
Island wants an effort made to induce
two other cities to step in, but the
other mem bers of the association
believe the time is too short and the
chances for success are much better
with the league as it now stands.
1t is C 'rtain that the six cities now
in are eager for the game. With well
balanced teams there is no reason to
doubt the interest will be as great as
it ever was in an eight club league. |
1t is certain that with eight clubs |
there have always been two wretched |
tail-enders unable to draw 4 corporals |
guard on the road. The fans in |
Rockford will never 90 to see the tall
enders play and when these clubs |
came here on their round the guaran-
tee money was never inside the gate. |
checks were posted and the two weak |
towns quit, the six clubs could 90
ahead and play out the schedule. |
although it always lessened general
interest in the race. Therefore the
experiment of a six-club league is
looked upon with considerable favor
in Rockford. The sentiment is quite
general that good race of six clubs
is much better than one with lot of
selling platers in it. There must
always be tail-enders, but by judic-
ious effort on the part of the league
management the six clubs could he
made up evenly and then a pretty
struggle should ensue. The schedule
can be arranged so as not to leave the
clubs too long at home. thus not Civ

Suddenly change was visible in the

When the Mania realized the Fuse prac-

ANOTHER LIEBES SUIT.
Decedent's Divorced Wife Alleges
That She Was Victimized.

Suit was filed yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. Hannah Liebes against George, Sgd
ney and Herman Liebes and Nathan
Meyer. executors of the will of the late
Herman Liebes, the deceased divorced
husband of the plaintiff to recover $50, ,726
alleged to be due her from decedent' S
estate.
In her complaint Mrs. Liebes alleges
that in February of 1892, while divorce
proceedings she had instituted were pend
ing, an agreement was entered into be-
tween herself and her husband by which
the deceased agreed to divide all of the
community property and give her one
half, to which she was entitled under the
law. A statement was made her by
Liebes. she continues, in which he placed
the value of the community property at
S12S, ,54S, among the assets being two shares
of the capital stock of the firm of Herman
Liebes & Co. The division was made
and through the California Safe Deposit
and Trust Company she was paid $50, 900
the balance of her share going to pay
expenses of the transaction.
Mrs. Liebes says that she now finds that
her divorced husband fraudulently repre-
sented the value of the community prop
erty which in fact at the time of the
agreement was worth 1890 900, and in
cluded 1850 shares of the capital stock of
the firm of H. Liebes & Co. Hence she

Alleged False Statements Made by
Him on Missionary Questions.

DR.. George c. Lorimer, the Eastern
Baptist divine who was recently in this
city, made some statements which have
been emphatically contradicted by COM
bined forces of Presbyterians and Congre-
gationalists. He has been accused of man
ufacturing data with which to embellish
his speeches and render them more at
tractive to his audiences. Not only does
the wave of indignation created by his
statements roll from congregations pro-
Tossing beliefs at variance with his own,
but DR. H. c. Mabie. the secretary OF
the American Baptist Foreign Missionary
Un,on and an adhereht of his own faith,
takes him to task for his assertions.
Or. Lorimer declared that. 1t cost the
PIesbyterians S232 to convert a heather,
the Congregationalists $l76 and the Bap-
lists only SAT 81.
To the layman these figures would seem
to indicate that the Baptsts are valiant
champions in the art of bringing the gos-
pei into the heart of the savage, or that
other religious denominations squander
the money which has been collected at
home for the propagation of Christian
doctrines.

SCHEME TO RAISE FUNDS

Some Believe That a Full Months
Salary Will Be Demanded by
the Officials, but This
Is Denied.
AN ASSESSMENT WILL BE LEV
led SOON.

The firm of Rodgers, Paterson & Slack
and Attorney George D. Collins have been
retained by County Clerk Deane, Sheriff
Martin. Recorder Berthier, District Attor-
ney Murphy and other members of the
combine organized to test the validity of
certain measures incorporated in the new
charter limiting the tenure of all the
county office holders. Just what figure
these attorneys will demand from the
office holders for representing them in the
important litigation remains to be seen,
but various rumorS are causing consider
able anxiety among the host of deputies
at the present time. By some it is said
that each and every deputy in the various
offices will be taxed one months salary to
meet the expenses of the litigation, but if
such were the case the attorneys for their
laborS would receive sum that would
reach in the neighborhood of $4,000 the
County Clerks office alone representing
$4,000 of this sum.
Those best in position to know, how
ever, say that the alarm of the deputies
is premature. That an assessment will
be made none deny, but it will be far
below the figure named. Five thousand
dollars will amply meet all court expenses
and attorney fees, they say, and on this
basis a 10 per cent assessment on all Sala-
res will net sufficient funds to liquidate
all obligations arising out of the litiga-
tion
In defense of the proposed assessment
levy the officials point to the fact that
1t is as much to the interest of the depu-
ties as to the officials to test the validity
of the measures limiting the tenure of
the officials, for, they say, if the officials
must step out, so must the deputies. An
other campaign must be made, and cam
paignS are more expensive than reasonable
litigation If the outlay of a few dollars
on the part of each deputy is required.
none the officials say, can complain, for
their interests are centered In f1nal de-
cision on the involved issues. Whether 1T
will please them or not, or whether or not
any man among them is unwilling to give
up a few dollars to possibly secure posi-
lion for himself for three more years, an
assessment will be levied, but it will not
be as large as some fear. 1t will not de-
prive them of their gold earned by the
labor of thirty days.
