SPALDING TALKS
 ABOUT FREEDMAN Says Statements Made by At torneyAre Misleading HE WILL ANSWER THE SUIT New President Says He Has Been Assured His Election Was Regu-
 lar, and His Attorneys WI"
 Fight the Case.
HE WILL ANSWER THE SUIT

Washington, December 25. - A. G. Carolina, but before leaving gave out a statement in answer to the communi- cation given out by Andrew Freedman's attorneys, regarding Mir. Spalding's an- nouncement that he would not act fur ther as president secretary-treasury of the National League. MT. Spalding says in part:
 ''Mr. Freedmans attorney Is at perfect liberty to make any deduction from that letter he pleases, but 1t speaks for itself. The quotation that this New York attor- ney makes from my letter is as mis- leading as everything that MT. Freedman has done since this baseball controversy commenced. If he had preceded his quotation that I must refuse to act further as president-secretary-tr of the National League with the words pending the decision of the Court he would have shown a stronger disposition to quote my letter correctly
 Early December IA I was informed by committee of the National League that had been unanimously elected President of that organization on that date. Col. John I. Rogers, a prominent attorney of Philadelphia, has assured me that that election was regular and legal. A sim liar opinion has been expressed by my personal attorney. Alfred w. Riddle of New York.
 "I have instructed my attorney to do anything in his judgment he may deem necessary to make a proper answer at the proper time to any and all charges that may be preferred by MT. Freedman and those who are associated with him in these legal proceedings.
 "I have instructed my attorney to in sist that the case be brought to trial and not permit 1t to be dismissed until a final decsion has cen reached"
 Thes tatement closes with sharp at tack upon Mir Freedman and his meth ods as a baseball magnate.

SHEEP ROUNDED UP THE CATTLE
And the Animals Instinct Gave Warn
 ing of the Blizzard Ahead Time.


 Denver Colo, December 25.-Colorado has a sheep that js not only able to care for itself, but looks after the welfare of cattle as we'll The animal Is product of Montana, where 1t was raised by John Springer, president of the National Live Stock Association. It is now a pensioner on the Douglas county ranch of the same gentleman. This particular sheep isn't any particular breed, just plain sheep, but she Is particularly long in intelli- gence.
 Last week, during the big blizzard that cost Montana and Wyoming stock men thousands of head. this little woolly guiding star went out as the fierce storm was brewing and rounded up the cattle in places where they could get shelter and feed With intuition that long preceded the storm warnings of the Weather Bureau this little animal be- gan to look after her iocks and not single animal refused to follow her ad- vice The result was that in this in stance alone she saved for the President of the National Live Stock Association more money than her weight in gold, and that is why she is pensioned in private quarters with Springer's blooded stock in Colorado.
 Some of the COW boys say that during the blizzard of last spring two of their number were lost and that the sheep was sent out to direct them back to the ranch house. The little animal could tell by instinct which direction to go, while the men were compelled to listen and then search, but the men were well sat- shed with the trial, which demonstrated that this sheep could save human life when mems knowledge failed.

 the fact that the model, which is built on a scale of one inch to the foot, Is 30 feet long, 25 feet wide and s5 feet high.
 Up to the present time only the most problematical estimate of the cost of the completed work has been made, although $a, ,0O00 GOO has been spent on the building. It may be 100 years before the entire structure is finished. That is soemthing those interested in the project are leav- ing for posterity to determine. The total cost may exceed s15,oOo,ooo. That. a1so Is a question that is not being considered in detail.
 Ever since plans for the cathedral were adopted the question as to the material of which the outer and inner walls were to be constructed has been discussed, not only by the trustees but by all the many thousands interested in the project.
 When the work was begun on the Au- gust Belmont Chapel, one of the seven which are to surround the choir, it be- came necessary to decide on the kind of stone to be used for the interior work, and now that the walls of this chapel are rising persons on the elevated trains ,an, for the first time, see the color of the cathedral walls.
 The material is granite and was chosen by the trustees chiefly on account of its durability. The color is grayish yell low, but time and weather will soften 1t. Frontenac marble will be used for the interior work.
 In the model that Heinz and La Farge, the cathedral architects, have prepared the great granite arch now erected can not be seen, for the reason that when the structure is finished this, as well as the other three arches still to be built, will be entirely concealed. These arches are to serve as supports to the square ~l. f,4t aA1 rrrhf fah in1R will rise above them to a height of 44O feet, more than three times higher than the present arch. When completed the cathedral of St. John the Divine will be the most remarkable of New World buildings It will be the most eonspicu- ous building in New York and on clear days will be visible for a distance of fifty miles
