ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 26, 1901.
James Hasson. residing with his family
Gu Fayette street between King and Came
ron streets, has disappeared from his home
under unexplained circumstances Hasson
left Monday evening without announcing
his departure to his wife, who is at present
mystffied as to his whereabouts. The miss
ing man was employed at a store and
saloon on the corner of Cameron and Henry
streets. and was at work as usual Mon
day morning. The other clerk in the place
noticed nothing unusual in Hasson's man
ner the morning in question: He did not
return to the store after his supper hour.
When Star reporter called at the place
this morning It was stated that the mans
accounts were all right. No cause could
be assigned for his strange action. 1t
was said he always attended strictly to
Mrs Hasson was unable to offer any ex-
planat1on OF the affair. She recalled that
her husband had received a telegram from
his father last Saturday. which she thought
port, r. I. This seemed to suggest the
probability that Mr.. Hasson had left for
that place, but even in that case his wife
could not understand why he had gone
Mr.. Hasson came to this city several
years ago from Massachusetts, He is well
known and bears a good reputation.
Routine Business Before Council.
A large amount of routine business was
transacted at the final meeting Of the pres
ent city council, which was held last even
ing. The finance committee reported on the
bill to increase the salary of the clerk of
gas from $1,000 to $1,000, amending 1t so
as to read $1,000. 1t was adopted as amend
ed This committee also reported favor
ably on the resolution appropriating $75
Tor the purchase of an iron safe for the
city treasurers office, and the report was
adopted.
tee. showing the receipts and expenditures
OF the city up to May 81, 1901 was read by
Mr.. Lawler. The total receipts amounted
to $l17 ,462, which sum included balance
porary loan of $4,000, making the net re-
ceipts $112,875. 1t was shown by the report
that the total expenditure for the year was
only 1900 In excess Of the estimate made
by the committee at the opening of the
fiscal year. The fact that there was scarce
ly any difference between the receipts and
the running expenses II the city, an un-
usual state OF affairs, was brought to the
attention by Mr.. Lawler. The difference
was less than $780, The report was adopted
as were also the reports Of the city treas
urer and auditor.
The committee on streets reported favor
ably on the petition of w. H. May and
other property owners son King street be-
tween Fairfax and Union streets for the
paving Of that square with vitrified brick.
1t was recommended by the committee that
the work be done under the 33d section Of
the city laws, after first ascertaining
whether Belgian block would not be better
than brick for the decivity on the square
in question.

EDITOR ISDEPESDEST:
In your valued paper u recent
date appeared m article entitled
.Elko We. Tuscarura ct. al.,, signed
by the Elko baseball club. ~criticismg
the manne In which the recent game
wa arranged and stating that they
only clayed to allow Happier to es-
cape .~ntolerable odium.' and In the
aforesaid article over their signatures
they mention my name a core Of
times in anything but com hmentary
terms. Now. l wish to reply TO the
one only direct false charge that is
made against me. 1 did not tell the
Elko team or anyone else that Miller,
the pitcher, had worked at White
Rock for a year. What / did say was
that Miller worked around White
Rock nearly a year ago. and il they
had desired to investigate further ]
should have informed them that Mil
Ter came into this section OF the conn
try, along with others, in pursuit OF
the Winremucca bank robbers last
fall, then returned to California and
about five weeks ago returned here
again. / would like to know how
long a person is compelled to reside
in a place to entItle him to play in a
baseball game and escape the sobri-
quet OF imported playert"
Almost the entire nine who play ed
the Elko team two years ago have
left here aud most Of them ere at
White Rock with an organized team
arranging to play this team. Mat.
thews, whom Elko barred SIS pitcher.
was working here before the baseball
match with Elko was ever thought Of.
Can Eiko say as much? Will they
deny that they tined to induce the
pitcher. who was at Elko when the
game was played between Elko and
Eureka. and who, on the 4th Of July.
pitched for the Virginia City club at
the Carson carnival. to play with
them! Will they deny that they tried
to induce Trenberth, whom they
barred from Tuscarota, to stay there
and play with them. the Involvement
being a cheap position as waiter in a
lunch counter, and also offering the
Virginia pitcher q position equally as
cheap? Elko. don't cry. Your rec.
ord on imported players Is too rotten
in the past. Tuscarora never pleads
the baby act. She takes her medi
cine Like men. not like babies who
have not discarded their ~swaddling
clothes. Our boys are working men;
men every one. They will be here as
long as their work lasts in their line
Of business. and it is not professional
ball playing, either.
l desire to say further and in con-
clusion that should the Elko team
have proved victorious the Tuscarora
team would have al once given them
the glad hand Of friendship and
would not be engaged in writing
Kindergarten literature for their own
delectatioD. We consider our nine
baseball players and not kickes.
