ST. LOUIS CLUB SOLD AGAIN.
Purchased by L. &. Becker for Mag
nate Robson, of Cleveland.

ST. LOUIS, March 2o-Edward c. Becker
purchased the st. Louis club franchise from
the creditors syndicate to-day. Negotia-
tons for the deal were begun yesterday
afternoon, when the creditors met together.
Mr. Becker attended the meeting with Re
ceiver Muckenfuss, who acted as his spokes-
man, Mr. Becker being i'll from tonsilitis.
Considerable time was spent in discussion,
the matter of recognition by the League be-
ing the sole subject of argument. Mr..
Becker offered $35 600 outright, clear of his
own preferred claims, but asked for delay
until to-day to get assurances from his
League friends that he would be recognized.
Mr. Becker contended that his possession of
a majority of the stock of the Sportsman's
Park and club and bis standing as cred
itor put him in a position to demand recog-
milton by the League, which in all probable
ity would be denied an outsider. His argu-
ment had weight with the creditors and both
sides agreed TO wait until to-day TO resume
negotiations Later Mr.. Becker received a
telegram saying the League would recognize
no one but Becker. Mr.. Becker met the
creditors to-day and after the papers were
signed wrote out a check for the amount

was any truth in Kan's story that he had
assisted some one from the Mckinley apart
ment and later saw some property lying
on a table and took il to save ii from de-
struction. Mrs. Maxwell, a guest of Mrs.
Mckinley, told the officer that a young man
did assist her from the apartments, and
that he did throw bath robe over her, as
kain alleges, but she declares that after
he had done this, while conducting her from
the burning building he attempted to tear
the diamond rings from her fingers and only
desisted when she screamed. Although
much excited and hysterical Mrs. Maxwell
remembered enough of her assailant to de-
scribe him to the officer. The detective said
the description was a good one of Kahn.
The latter has large scar his left
temple which may lead to his ultimate iden-
tifcation. Kahn was remanded to police
headquarters until tomorrow, so that he
