elbow and had to give up the fight
BurgO is a familiar figure to Worcester
sports. He was in Worcester for several
months during the winter before last,
when he tried hard to get on a match
with John J. Lawler. He did not sue

ogniZe a good thing when they had it
thrust on them. Burgo left Worcester
about a year ago. Since then he has gone
with and has fought % battles, losing
only 4. He has tried to get on with the

MASONIC temple.
It May Prove to Be
a Reality
Yet.
COMMITTEE OF 33
Unanimously Voted to Re-
scind Former Vote to
DClose the Corporation.

Members of the committee of SO of the
Masonic Charitable and Educational
Association are still hopeful that a
temple will be erected in Worcester.
The meeting last night was attended
by 20 members and was one of the most
satisfactory in the history of the COM
nhtee, and at the close several of the
members made the remark I'VE had a
good meeting tonight"
The most important action of the
meeting was in voting unanimously to
rescind former vote to close the cor
poration, and the appointment of sub
committee made up of Gen. Robert II.
Chamberlain, George L. Allen, William
James Hogg, George s, Clough, Gran
willie A. Longley and Henry Brannon, to
sell the Mower lot.
The members present were unanimous
IN their approval of this action, ana
the opinion generally expressed is that
the temple will prove a reality after all.
Several of the gentlemen present last
night made the statment that although
their contribution had been returned,
the amount is laid one side and is avail
able at any time when future develop
ment shall warrant opening the sub
scription list.
Following the sale of the Mower LOT
there is considerable talk Of the Prem
tice lot at 55 Park street
This lot is centrally and pleasantly
located opposite the common, anG is
favored by many members Of the com
mittee. A figure has been named Tor
the lot, and the matter will be taken
under consideration.
The original purpose of last night
meeting was to take action on the
matter of reducing the number OF
quorum from H. as stipulated III the
charter. to Is. The members were
evenly divided on the question: now

noration meetings still holds

BASEBALL TO-DAY.
Oakland and San Francisco to Fight
for the Lead.

A grand contest for first place honors is
the card that the California Baseball
League offers to the cranks this week.
The Oakland dudes have fought their way
up near the top just in time to meet their
rivals on this side of the bay in strug-
gle for the leadership.
Manager Harris has been sneering at
the Oaklands of late and advising Cal
Ewing to go and hire a few men who
could play ball, but when the dudes took
three straight games from Watsonvile
by some exceptionally fine ball playing
and settled down in second place the San
Francisco magnate began to take a seri-
Gus view of the situation. If he succeeds
in holding the lead after the coming en-
gagement with the Oaklands he may con-
slider himself very fortunate The Oak
land team is now as good a fielding club
as there is in the league, and it remains
to be seen whether the dudes can WELD
the stick with sufficient effectiveness to
overcome the winning ways of the men
in black and gold.
The cranks on both sides of the bay
are looking forward to the coming con-
tests with more than usual interest and
there will probably be more f1amboyant
roofing at Recreation Park this week
than has developed since the opening of
the season.
The lineup for to-morrows game is as

INVESTIGATION
Of FRAGLEY IS
|NAUGURATED
Supervisors Examine
Witnesses.

The investigation into the alleged mis-
conduct of Superintendent of Streets Mar
tin Fragley was inaugurated by the mem
bers of the Finance and Street Commit
tees of the Board of Supervisors yester-
day afternoon. Nearly two hours were
devoted to the examination, and although
few questions were propounded to each
man called in, it is thought that the Ia
bors of the committees have only begun,
as there still remain 200 more witnesses
to examine.
Mr.. Fragley, accompanied by his chief
deputy, A. j. Donovan, and his attorney,
John B. Garland, entered the committee
room shortly after the session had begun.
Supervisor Perrault, chairman of the
committee, propounded but a half dozen
"Where do you work? 2" What is your
salary?'' How many days did you labor
last month" Where did you es5h 5ir your our
swered with a broker" they were asked
what commission they paid him n,,
w. T. Sullivan, father of Mayor Phe-
lan's secretary, testified that he was
earning $62 so and had put that amount in
his pocket, excepting the amount he PAID
a broker. Chairman Perrault decided not
to ask the witness any more questions
out of respect to the colonel and the old
gentleman was allowed to deport.
AS the trend of examination became ap-
parent to Mr. Fragley and his attorney
they sat back and took things easy. A
smile covered the superintendent coun-
tenance and he was seemingly at peace
with the world. Martin Fragley Jr. was
called in to testify. but the Chairman al
lowed him to depart without interrogat-
ing him.
when j. Kelly was examined he testi-
fed that he received $6S 80, and as the
warrant called for $40 it looked as If some
wrongdoing was discovered. The witness
removed all suspicion by stating grd that 1t
two of the same name in the department.
Supervisor Attridge renewed his 81 motion 9ion
tO withdraw it. A dozen more men were
examined, but all the inquisitors learned
was the name of the broker who charged
the least percentage. An adjournment
was taken until further notice from
Chairman Perrault.
1t was learned after the meeting that
since the McGlade trial the Supervisors
have been desirous to discover whether
there are any dummies drawing pay
from the Street Department. The only
way to ascertain whether there are is to
subpoena every man whose warrant is in
the hands of the board

to marry her. 1t was agreed that they
were to be married by Justice of the
Peace in Oakland. but she insisted that
the ceremony should be kept a secret.
According to Lenahan. she bought him a
purchased marriage ring. which he gave
to Mrs. Clark. 1t was arranged that they
should meet at the Oakland ferry, pre-
paratory to crossing the bay and becom-
ing husband and wife, but at the last min
ute Lenahan got "cold feet" and did not
materialize: Although angered beyond
measure, Mrs. CLARK promised to forgive
him, provided he consented to marry her
in the near future.

that he had been horsewhipped by Mrs.

would return in a few days.

she pleaded last evening. II was indis-
