AN EXACT COPY
OF the Latest Letter Received By MI.
Cudahy From the K~idnappers
of His Son.
Given Ont to the Associated Press
Last Night-Thc Post Mark shows
1t Was Mailed on December 22d.

OMAHA, Neb., December 30.-The
Cudahy family remained at home to-
day, and beyond giving out an exact
copy of the text of the latest letters
received from the k~idnappers, Mr.. Cud-
ahy refused to see any representative
Of the press. The photography of the
letter is poor, as is also the writing,
which is in the same hand as the let
ter of December 18th, demanding the
ransom.
The postmark shows that the letter
was mailed at the postofice at s a. m,
Saturday, December 22d, showing
clearly that one of the gang of abduc-
tors was in the postofice on that date
If the letter had the same origin as
the letter demanding the ransom. That
the origin was the same is attested
by Gen. John c. Gown, VINO saw both
missives. The letter reads:
"Cudahy. if you value the boys life
at the Price of A Bullet you will with
draw the Reward at once. And let
well-anough alone, if You don't do this
we will finish the Job with a Bullet.
Ii any man whether guilty or inno-
cent is ever arrested A Bullet will close
the Boys mouth. You will think of
this warning when it is to late"
The only marked difference between
this letter and the letter demanding a
ransom Is in the greater number of
misspelled words. This however,
may be an affectation, for the most
difficult words are spelled correctly,
while some of the simple words are
~misspelled.
The letter was given out by Gen.
John S. Gown, attorney for Mr.. Cuda-
by. Speaking of the letter. Gen. Cow
in said:
THE day after the reward was offer
ed Mrs. Cudahy received a letter
printed in lead pencil, the same as the
letter that vas left on the lawn. but

The SALARY ouestion.

A question greater in Importance 10
the players than any of those speci-
fed in the articles of agreement sent
to the National League mandates by
Attorney Taylor is that OF salaries.
There are indications that several OF
the magnates are in favor of reducing
the limit from $1,000 to $1,000. Some
of the league presidents refuse to con-
slider the question when propounded
to them, but from other sources comes
information bearing marks OF anthem
ITCHY which strongly indicates such a
move in February. The players have
been well paid for their services in
the past, but the records show that
there has been a reduction of a full so
per cent. in salaries in the past 10
years. Where the league played a no
limit game as regards paying salaries
in I'VE olden time" they now have the
maximum placed at $1,000, with every
promise OF further reducing it at their
next meeting.

A DESERVED TRIBUTE
BY Hall Caine to American Women
and to the American
Gentleman.
"The Position of Woman is Higher
In America Than in Any Other
Pnrt of the World,'' is His Opinion.

CHILLICOTHE, Mo, December 30
Hall Caine, writing to the Sorosis, a
local woman's club, under date of Greba
Castle, Isle of Man, December 9Th, says:
When one considers what the position
of woman was, even in the most civilized
countries, as recently as one hundred
years ago, and how high a place she has
now won for herself, not only in the
statute books of nations, but in the re-
public of art, one cannot but feel tina
the change is ever more remarkable than
some of the great material developments
which have distinguished the century.
Speaking as one who has seen life in
many countries, [ feel that it is within
the truth to say that the position of wo-
man is higher in America thar in any
other part of the world. For his result
American women have no doubt to thank
their own natural gifts and great indie
pendence of mind, but they have also,
l think, to be grateful to the splendid
chivalry in the other sex, which is no.
where more conspicuous thar in the best
type of American gentlemen.

He Sends a Protest Against the
Harshness OF the Germans.
LONDON, December 31.-Wiring to
| the Times from Pekin yesterday, D..
Morrison gays:
The Chinese have accepted ali the
| conditions of the joint note. They
are sending formal acceptance by an
envoy and ask that negotiations should
| commence forthwith and military ope-
| rations cease.
Iii Hung Chang is much better, al
though greatly shaken.
Five expeditions are now operating.
Every report tells of increasing unrest,
! The policy of depriving the Chinese of
all power to exercise authority is
| spreading disorder broadcast and fore
ing peaceful Chinese into opposition"
In a dispatch dated December 2Sth.
DR.. Morrison sends a long protest
| against German harshness which, he
says, is creating instead Of checking
| disorder. He accuses the Germans OF
marrying the country and Furnishing
the innocent and the guilty indiscriT-
inately in order to levy fines for de-
fraying their own military expenses
| and to form an excuse for continued
hostile occupation.
He also charges Count Won Valdez
see with a breach of faith on the
ground that he gave Lii Hung Chang a
map defining the area of the occupation
in the province of Chi Ii and indicated
the district beyond which the allies
would not operate and yet allowed the
German troops to infict severe punish
ment upon the Chinese at Tsang Chau
and Yung Ching, both of which are
outside the area.
Repeating his statement that the
Germans are preparing for an expedi-
ton to Sian Fu in the spring and also
fomenting trouble in the Tang Use val
ley, DR.. Morrison says:
The question arises whether the oc-
casion should not be seized to separate
the British troops from Count Won
Waldersee's command"

STREET CAR STRIKE OVER.
The Men Receive an of Two
Cents an Hour, and n
Ten Hour Day.
The Controversy Lasted just a Week,
and Must Have Cost Both Sides a
Large Amount of Money.

SCRANTON, Pa, December 81, l
a. NAT 12:45 this morning the street
car strike was called off. President
Clark, General Manager Silliman and
Directors John and Timothy Burke
came to the hall after the vote to COM
promise was passed, and were received
with tumultuous cheers.
The men demanded what was equiv
alent to an advance of three cents an
hour. They were allowed two cents.
The men are also allowed a ten-hour
day.
The strike was inaugurated one week
ago yesterday. Three hundred and
twenty men were affected. During all
that time not more than half a dozen
cars were moved at any n time and
it was very seldom that a passenger
was carried.
Over 200 men were imported to take
the strikers places, but they were sent
back by the strikers as fast as the
company brought them.
1t will take a week to open UP the
tracks, owing to the distractions piled
on them all over the country by strik-
ers' sympathizers.
Two crews were driven from their
cars to-day and had to take to the
woods for safety.

abdomen. He then backed out of the
room declaring that he would shoot
any one who attempted to stop him.
He was followed by W policemen but
held them at bay until Sheriff Kennedy
and a number of citizens arrived. The

The men who earn their bread and
butter or the diamond want some linn
itation placed on the reservation of
ball players. They want men to be re-
served for three or five years and
then allowed to go where they please.
They also want the system of FARM

magnates do see fit TO grant these de-
mands and are saying little these days.
The men who pay baseball salaries
entertain the opinion that the players
will recede from their present position
before spring. On the other hand. the
players insist that they will sign no
contracts until at least some of their
demands have been compiled with.
Just what the outcome will be is hard

The Base Ball situation.

The base ball situation still is in a
chaotic state. Magnates Of both the
National and American Leagues are
going around the country with chips
on their shoulders and indulging in
strong talk. When pinned down,
however, they declare that war is not
a good thing for either organization.
To those who understand the situation
the only solution of the present prob
lem Is for some men mutually inter
ested to get the warning factions to-
gether and compel them to bury the
Ratchet. All this wa talk does the
game no good, and should be stopped
as soon as possible. 1t looks as if the
magnates are trying to disgust those
Followers of the game who have not
already been weaned away by dilatory
tactics on the field and other abuses
OF the national game.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-12-31

Those interested in the American
League want certain concessions. but
refuse to ask for them. The men who
are interested in the American League
want to see their organization on a
similar footing with the parent base
ball body. National League magnates
have decided to ignore the men inter-
ested with President Ban Johnson in
the American League in all their. Off
cial actions. To add to the muddled-up
condition of affairs the men interested
in the Interstate League have followed
their brethren in the American and
have got away from the National
agreement, which has for years been
looked upon as the only safeguard pos
sfble for base ball investments. The
story has also been going the rounds
that other minor leagues may also de-
eide to become independent and cause
a still more complicated condition of
affairs. Just what the outcome will
be is rather hard. to determine at this
time. 1t is sure, however, that war
will not help base ball, and many be-
lieve tat the various factions will get
together before long and try to solve
all the problems ncw confronting those
who have money invested in fran
chises.
