BAsEMAN STEPHENS TO BE RETAINED
snp Antonio Has No valid Contract
with Him-The Entries for
Today's Races.

"Nipper is a wondsr!r is the way one OF
the best judges OF ball player In Houston
described the new catcher after seeing him
yesterday.
There is great deal of interest in the
game this year, as evidenced by the large
number OF people who went out to Forest
rark yesterday afternoon to see the men prac-
tice. The Bufialoes are bit stiif. but they
worked with will and the general opinion
is that Houston will be well represented
this season.
Nipper's work was the subject Of much fav-
orsble comment, not only by the spectators
but the other players. Especially great
is his ability In throwing to second base.
Crowell went to Galveston yesterday to
see President Dermody anent stephens; after
the consultation Crowell decided TO keep the
player. because he has the better claim OIL
him: Stephens signed San Antonio contract
before he did the Houston paper but there
WAS included clause calling for advance
money and the fulhllment OF this clause was
nel essary TO make the contract binding
one; the San Antonio management paid no
attention to Il and therefore stephens con-
sdered himself at liberty to sign where be
could.
CIowell saw the Land Grabs at practice
and admits that Dermo1y has a good collec-
ton OF bah players.

DEMANDS OF THE PosToFFIcE

II ESPITE the fact that the Postmaster General
| said but little in his annual message OF the es-
- tablishment OF cheap parcels post in this
country and nothing OF postal savings banks system
both OF these subjects being widely discussed and
both Improvements will probably be urged upon Con-
gress during this session.
The renewed agitation for a postal savings bank
has been largely stimulated by the recent exposure of
the swindling banking concerns in New York OF
course the intelligent public is we'll aware that our
savings bank system is quite safe and is not in the
least likely to give rise to any such institution as that
which aeeced so many thousands by promising them
exorbitant rates of interest None the less the dis
astrous experience with the fraudulent concern has
set the pub1 in the East to considering once more
the many advantages sure TO result from postal saw
ngs banks
The issue is not of parties nor is the movement
confined any particular class OF citizens In fact
the argument upon the question is almost onesidet
and the opposition it is hardly anything more than
that conservatism which opposes all progress The
Baltimore American for example says: What has
been done in this way to help the people by foreign
nations is all in favor OF these banks At the end Of
the year 1905 Great Britain had three and onebalf
million dollars in undivided dividends on hand after
paying two and one-half per cent interest and all
losses, and the Government made profit of eighty
three thousand dollars by conducting the business
The deposits in these banks in that country amounted
to FIVE hundred and fifty million dollars In the same
year France paid three per cent interest on one hu,
drcd and forty-three million dollars and the Govern
ment made profit OF one hundred and seventy thou
sand dollars The cost OF conducting the banks in
these countries has been very small. II the Govern
ment is disposed to undertake the competition the
plan is worth a trial"
An equal strength is shown in the movement n
procure the establishment OF better domestic parcels

tional Association of Manufacturers has been siren

SCHUFELDT TO Be
COURT-MARTIALED
SEQUEL to the Captains
Divorce Case.
Special pispateh 70 rhe CALI

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-The War De-
partment has accepted the challenge az
Captain r. W. Schufeldt. L. :. A, retired.
and has transmitted all the papers refer
ring TO the case OF the officer 70 Major
General Merritt. commanding the Depart
ment OF the East, al New 1Ork' IoF court
martial proceedings.
Several DAYS ago the adiutant general,
by direction OF the Secretary OF War. or
dered Captain Schufeldt 20 place himself
within the Jurisdiction Of the civil courts
OF Maryland. before which that 0iIeer
was the defendant In divorce proceed
ings. This order was based on represent
tiOns of the attorneys Of the Wiie OK the
officer that he had failed 20 comply with
the orders OF the court for the payment
20 his wife Of a stated amount OF allmouy
and that he remained outside the Jur.s-
dictiOn OF the State court In order %
evade process.
Subsequently the officers counsel iu-
formed the War Department that, acting
on his advice, Captain Schufeldt would
decline 10 comply with the order 70 place
himself in the Jurisdiction u the court.
The attorney said he based his advice on
the fact that his client recently mad been
declared bankrupt BY the courts OF the
District OF Columbia, and consequently
was relieved from the payment OF the all
mOny decreed by the Maryland court.
amounting 10 date 70 about t5JJ. com
puduCe Win the OrQefH OF the " AZ Le-
partment the attorney said, undoubtedly
would lead to Captain schufeldLs impris-
onment without proper cause. The att0r-
ney furthermore declared the proceeding
was a scheme on the part Of the prosecu-
ton 10 put his client Into prison. and said
that Captain Schufeldt would stand the
consequences OF cOurt-martial proceedings
rather than obey the order, which virtu-
ally meant his incarceration without legal
support.
Captain Schufeldt also wrote a letter %
the Secretary Of War protesting against
the action Of the military authorities and
notifying him that he must decline % obey
the order TO place himself within the 1ur-
isdictiOn Of the Maryland courts. He told
the Secretary that he had been under mil
itary arrest for more than a year and that
he considered the order issued In his case
as unreasonable. as IL would be one which
would require him 20 commit murder or
some other crime.
All the correspondence in the case has
been referred 10 General Merritt. with
instructions 10 order a cOurt-martial for
the trial OF Captain Schufeldt on charges
OF scandalOus conduct and Of conduct un-
becoming an officer and a gentleman.

ETY. for the study Of the classic languages.

Burrill Of the Oakland High School and
Edward =. Clapp of the University Of Cal

tails. Ii was determined TO make the
scope Of the organization greater than at
first planned. The faculties OF Berkeley
and Stanford discussed the subject and
the idea OF forming coast association
was the result.
