CALLAHAN SEEKS
A CHANGE OF VENUE

Omaha, Neb. Oct 26.-James Callahan
the alleged Cudahy kidnapper seeks a
change Of venue for his trial for per-
jury and has filed his motion in support
of it, He alleges that Judge Baker
cannot give him a fair and impartial
trial because of positive opinions here
tofore expressed regarding Callahan
and by reason of strong prejudice in
the matter.
In the affidavit filed in support of the
motion Callahan cites the scoring adj
ministered by Judge Baker to the jury
when the verdict of not guilty was re-
turned in the robbery case. He also
cites telegram later received by the
judge from Godfrey L. Cabot of Phil
delphia and the judges reply thereto,
both of which Judge Baker gave to the
press at the time.
The Baker telegram as set forth in
the affidavit was sent to a Pittsburg
official, and was as follows:
Omaha Neb., Oct. 3d.
Verdict understandable. viii di-
rect prosecution on charge not includ-
ed in the one tried; new jury.
(Signed) benjamin S. Baker,"
1t is further alleged that inasmuch
as Judge Baker has been subponaed
as a witness by the state in the case
to be tried, he ought not to be the trial
Judge in the case.

Students From AShburnhamWere
Unable to Score a Point in a
Game Against the Worcester

FOUR T0UCHDOWNS AND

Great Improvement Shown in the
Playing of Capt. Russ Eleven

The old rivals, Worcester Academy
and Gushing Academy, met at foot
ball yesterday, at the Worcester Acad-
envy campus, and DIR. Abercrombie's
boys won easily by a score of % to O..
The weather was ideal for the spec
tators, but q trifle too warm for the
players. Worcester Academy played
straight football and the teams great
err weight enabled the wearers of the
crimson and black to push their backs
through the opposing line at any point.
Two touchdowns were scored in the
first half by bucking the centre. The
line plunging was relieved by occa-
I sional runs around the ends Cornell
kicked a goal from one of the touch
downs and missed the other try. Two
touchdowns were scored in the second
half, from one of which goal was
kicked. The attempt that failed was
an easy try.
The Worcester boys were not held
for downs once during the game, but
were penalized for offside play on two
occasions. Capt. Russ at right end
was tower of strength. He was in
evidence in every advance made by a
Worcester player and tackled in the
most approved manner. Cornell at
quarterback showed rare judgment in
directing the plays. His passes were
quick and accurate and his tackling
superb. The team as a whole played
snappy football and did the most
creditable work of the season.
For the visitors Gerould did the best
work He tackled low and strong and
stopped many a runner after he had
broken through the line. Locke and
Adams also showed up we'll The sum-

FULTON TEAM HAD
ONLY LIGHT EXERCISE

The Fulton Athletic Club basketball
team had the easiest kind of exercise
last night winning against the North
boro quintet, in Fulton Hall, by a
score of SO to 1. The Northboros
claimed to be handicapped by mac
quaintance with the hall and its low
ceiling, but at no time did the visitors
show cleverness in any department.
Ellswort played well, but he was kept
from scoring, and Menards goal on a
free try was the only point scored by
Northboro. After the first few min
utes of play, the Fultons scored at
will and the game lost interest The
teams lined up as follows:

ger is the only man in Chicago with
out stomach. He went home yes.

INNOCENT MAN KILLED
Hundreds Are Wounded Through Throwing Of Stone
By a Striker

Albany, May l7.-Leroy Smith the
merchant shot by the soldier yester-
day died early this morning. Smith IS
death was the second resulting from
the strike.
Albany, May 17.-There are today
over 5000 national guardsmen in the
city, called here to quell the riots
growing out OF the strike by the street
Car employees. A long conference
last night between all parties concern
ed failed to reach settlement.
William Welsh, one of the men
wounded by bullet from the squad
of the 23rd regiment defending a car
died at 10 AS last night.
Leroy Smith was shot in the same
melee. He SAID to his pastor the
Rev. Mr.. Fairchild shortly after he
was shot: "It's all right they
were perfectly justified in shooting
and l had no business to be there"
One of the curious features of the
night is that the surgeons say that
Walsh, who is a brother of all officer
Of the 10th battalion, was struck by a
shot from a revolver. The only man
in the Car who had revolver, was
Lieut.. Wilson, who says that he saw
a man fire brick at him. He is pos
tive be hit him.
1t was Lieut.. Wilson of E company
who gave the fatal order to fire, and
his action has received the approval
of bis SuperiOrs for an investigation
by high military officials held tonight
eXonerated him from blame. Accord
ing to Wilson's statement he fired at
and hit a man who struck him with a
stone.
The official investigation was made
by General Barnes who took the state
ments of Wilson and his men, the Car
crew and several witnesses. After
hearing what they had to say Gen.
Barne, with Lieut. Col. Brady held a
long conference with Generals Roe and
Oliver.
The soldiers are completely exoner-
ated by the mayor, the people, and
the military officials.
The inquiry showed that probably a
mob of 1000 men was threatening this
car. They were stoning it and run
ming after it. One stone struck the
motorman and cut his face. Another
hit Lieut.. Wilson.
The latter drew his revolver and
shot the men who struck him and at
