QUICK PUNISHMENT

From American League.

All Umpire AssaiIants in the Future
to Be BIackIisted.
S z RTS IN G. EN- + II A l.

President Ban Johnson of the American
League announced yesterday in Chicago
that any player smuggling an umpire would
in the future be expelled from the league.
He expelled Shortstop Shugart yesterday
for umpire beating. withholding decision
on Pitcher McGinnity for like offense.
II have expelled Shugart from the league
for life for assaulting Umpire Haskell. No
smuggling will be permitted in this league in
the future while 1 am president of it, and
each man who commits that offense will be
expelled forthwith. That is final. We will
never permit rowdyism in this league. So
far as Katoll is concerned, l will withhold
my decision as regards his punishment till
/ have had personal interview with Has
kel. According to reports from Washing
ton the ball that katoll threw at Haskell
hit the umpire in the instep and broke a
bone, and till this Is definitely known no
further punishment will be meted out. l
have received report from Connolly
about the trouble at Baltimore and until
do no further action will be taken in Nc
Ginnity's case"
AS McGinnity was under sentence to keep
on the bench when not playing and had
been suspended from the coaching lines
his offense is the more serious, for he de-
liberately transgressed his suspension : 1t
was thought yesterday in Chicago from the
Will TTeSlueul JO1IlSOH that Tie IRON
Man. pitcher would be expelled from the
league in the same summary manner as
Shugart.
The American League president was much
worked up over the situation and expressed
his regret that he had not imposed heavier
penalties on the two previous attempts to
slug the umpires.
mo man can be expected to umpire as
good a game when eighteen players are
nagging at his heels over decisions. AS
far as Shugart goes. when a mitigating cir
cumstance for his act is put forth the an
swer always comes. What right had Shu-
CART at the plate. in the first place? He
has no business at the plate, except as a
play may take him there Certainly he
has right there when the game is
stopped fer any reason"
Johnson expects to come east in a few
days, and it is thought that he viii have
a conference with Haskell and some of the
eastern magnates at that time. ComSkey
will accompany the team on the trips till
the end of the season and the other mag
mates are seeking means to back Ban up in
the stand he has taken.

to Detroit when the players left their posi-
lions to browbeat him.
Frank Dwyer, a league umpire now in
this city, was on the STAN OF the A-neri-
can League last season, and was pretty
close to President Johnson. Dwyer was
for a dozen years one of the great pitch
crs of the National League, and a man who
stands very high with the base ball fra
ternity.
When asked If there was any founda-
ton for the stories that President Johnson
had given his umoires instructions to IA
vor any one club, Dwyer promptly an
swered: There was never the slightest
foundation for any such claim. President
Johnson is a master of the situation, and
fears one. 1 was with him a whole
year. and the only order I ever got from
him about Chicago-and that. too at the
very time that Detroit was making that
silly howl-was TO put Comiskey out of
his own grounds. and forfeit the game If
he interfered with my work.
No. sir. Johnson is too clever fellow
to instruct his umpires to favor any one.
Baltimore was always the hotbed of UNI
fairness, and it was always worth ones
life TO either play or umpire in that city.
Il know that every umpire in the Amer
lean League will bear me out when / say
that Mr.. Johnson is the fairest man they
ever worked for. He backs up his UNI
pires when he once knows they are ca
pable. Baltimore has belittled herself, and
McGraw has done himself no good by his
work against a clever, upright man like
Johnson

Cuban News Notes.

SuD0n news notes.
Gustav Book, in the course of a report
in the Cigar Manufacturers Union regard
ing the outlook Of the cigar and tobacco
industry expresses the opinion that there
is no danger to be apprenended from
American competition SO far Cuban
cigars are concerned. He takes the ground
that, even if Cuba sent all her cigars to
the United States-and she produced 203,-
100000 last year-this could not seriously
affect the American producers and manu-
facturers, who last year sold 5,5o0,oO0,O00
cigars in the United States. Even If Cuba
were to more than double her present out
put and to send all to the United States,
this would not change the situation.
Mr.. Book points out also that the to-
bacco soil in Cuba Is limited, and that
the American grower has the advantage
Of the Cuban grower In view of the fact
that the cost Of production of tobacco is
greater in Cuba than in the United States.

Major Hazard. the chief surgeon. discuss

that the yellow fever commission and
himself have carefully considered the
question of applying infected mosquitoes
to non-immunes. and have reached the

portance of the matter from scientific
point of view-the experiments are justi-

Limo Lima, the notorious bandit, for
whose capture. dead or alive, the military
government offered a reward of 81 900, has
been killed at Macurijes Corral Falso), in
the province of Matanzas The police
sisted the rural guard. anG four other BAN
dts were captured at the same time. The
body of Lima will be photographed for
the purpose of identification.
Lima's operations in tie provinces OF
MatanZas and Havana had greatly exas-
perated the military authorities. For sew
eral months there was a standing reward
of $500 for his head. During the latter
rart of July he sent word to the authori-
ties that he would surrender for $500, pro-
vided he were allowed to leave the island.
Upon receipt of this offer the reward was
doubled and urgent instructions were sent
to Gen Rodriguez of the rural guard to
capture Lima. Finally the bandits mother
asked Acting Governor General Scott to
promise to pardon him il he surrendered.
The reply was that il he gave himself up
he would be tried as bandit, and If he re-
NAMED at large he would be hunted down
and killed If necessary.

NEW POINT RAISED IN CHINESE
CASE
Acting United States Attorney Dunno
raised "a new and important question
yesterday. in the Chinese deportation
cases of Ching Tai Sal and Ching Tai
Sin, who claimed to have been born in
Honolulu while Hawaii was mon
archy. The evidence tended to prove
their birth in the Islands, and this was
admitted by the government. Mr..
Dunno set UP the claim. however, that
Chinese born in foreign country did
not become American citizens from the
subsequent taking of that kingdom by
the United States. The law applied
only to citizens of the republic. but
not to those of the kingdom, where the
Chinese had removed from Hawaii and
We're nor residents the time of
neXation.
Judge Estee stated that the question
raised was one of great Importance in
internationa law. The whole question
he said, was whether former citizens
OF the Kingdom, not residents of the
republic at the time of annexation be-
came citizens of the United States The
attorneys Were given ten days to pre-
pare briefs on the subject
Mrs. Ayau testified that she had
known the two boys when they lived
here. The court began to question her
after she had given her testimony and

How old are you?" asked the judge.
The witness hesitated for moment
before speaking.
Il am over thirty" she finally said,
reluctantly.
How much over thirty?" asked the
court
t"Thirty-nine, replied the Witness
still more reluctantly, and knowing
smile passed from one court officer to
the other.
Wang Kwai, who was at one time
vice consul, was also a witness in be-
half of the boys.

neSe.

witness.
