 East Hampton. March 17.-Eddie Moriarity, the pitcher. who is about to finish his course of study at the Con- necticut Agricultural college, has now fully recovered from his recent acci- dent and is himself again. Of late he has been coaching the candidates for pitcher on the college nine as well as giving the other players tips on the game. He will leave the college next Saturday to begin coaching the Mid- dletown High school team and will le- main there until about the middle of April when he goes to Newark, N.

 Secretary O'Rourke thinks that q meeting of the league directors will be called about March 23. It will be quite an interesting session. New London will claim Hi Ladd at the meeting. As Manager Reisling has several men bet ter than Hi, it will not make much diff ference which way the decision goes.
 Business Manager James H. Burke of the police baseball nine has receiy- ed an offer of a handsome $75 trophy cup from q well known manufacture as a prize in a series of games be- tween the police hines of Meriden, Hartford, Bridgeport, New Haven and Waterbury. Mir Burke is not at pres ent able to disclose the name of the gentleman offering the cup. The mat ter will be brought to the attention of the police commissioners in the near future, and if permission is obtained negotiations for the formation of a five club league of police hines will be started. There is no question but what contest between the policemen of the cities named would arouse a lot of in- terest. To begin with Meriden has a crack-a-jack bunch of ball toSsers on the police force and the Neridenites can certify to the strength of the clubs l in New Haven and Waterbury, Hart fords police team claimed the cham 1 pionship of the state but Bridgeport also claims to have an aggregation second to none in the state So there you are. It needs some sort of object, such as this enterprising Meridenite 1 has offered to bring the Connecticut bluecoats together and determine who | is who. Certainly Meriden stands as good q chance as any of the others.- Meriden Record.

A Few Hits Scored by Various
 Writers


 From desperate slides for the home plate to perhaps more dangerous slide for mans life in burning car is but a step for Dick Cooley, for mer National league baseball player.
 Cooley won many suits of clothes for making home runs when q baseball player, but his latest slide bids fair to be rewarded by an annual pass over a western railroad.
 Cooley was on Il hunting trip ill the Indian Territory, and was riding i'll the caboose of freight train with the conductor, who was a friend Of his. In one of the freight cars was NJ D. Williams, an Indiana farmer taking his household goods to q new farm he had won i'll q government drawing.
 As the train neared the town of Apache three cars left the track, in cluding the one in which Williams was riding. He had q lighted lantern with him, which was broken when the car was overturned The oil was quickly ignited and the interior of the car was in flames, Williams having been pinned down by some furniture and could not get out
 Cooley drew on his experience as q slider to bases, went ill and dragged the farmer out in safety.
 The trainmaster Of the division was there and declares Cooley must re- ceiye an annual pass in recognition of his work.

NUDE PICTURE
CAUSES TROUBLE
A WEALTHY FRENCH WOMAN
BRINGS CIVIL SUIT AGAINST A
MAN WHO SAID SHE POSED AS A
MODEL AND SHOWED PICTURES.

Paris, July 10.-An incident which has
lust occurred In the law courts is caus-
ing some stir here. A wealthy widow,
Nine. de Cast, well known on account
of her automobile exploits, being the only
female competitor in the Paris-Berlin
race, and who entered the Paris-Vienna
contest was recently the plaintiff In
civil action The defendants counsel was
Maitre Barbour, who is also well known.
During the hearing he produced photo
graph of a picture called THE Masked
Woman" by Gervex, exhibited at the
salon of 1856, representing nude female,
the face alone being concealed by mask.
M Barboux handed this photograph
around court declaring that Nine. de
Cast had served as the model. Nine. de
Cast made an indignant denial ana de-
manded a retraction. NJ. Barboux took
no notice of her demand and Nine. de
Cast has now brought an action against
him. The Figaro says this Is the second
time this picture has caused trouble.
When 1t was first exhibited a Jealous
husband thought he recognized his wife
as the original and challenged NJ Gervex.
The latter gave the name of the real
model, but the husband was not satisfied
and insisted on duel, in which event
ually he himself was wounded.

ROUGH RIDER PLAN
FAILED TO WORK
MAN ATTEMPTS TO GET AN AUDI
ENcE WITH PRESIDENT RooSE-
WELT. CLAIMING TO HAVE BEEN
IN WAR WITH HIM.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 10.-President
Roosevelt passed a comparatively quiet
day at Sycamore Hill today After the
rain of the morning the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt took a brisk gallop of
several miles over the fine roads in the
vicinity of their home, returning in time
for luncheon.
Miss Ethel and Master Archibald Roose-
welt, accompanied by daughter OF ].
West Roosevelt. who resides near the
Presidents country home, also went
horseback riding during the morning. At
point not far from Sycamore Hill the
saddle girth on Miss Ethers horse slipped
and as the saddle turned she was precip-
itated to the ground. Fortunately the
horse was not going at rapid pace and
Miss Ethel, uninjured, readily stopped
the horse
A man who said he had served In the
rough riders when the President was
colonel of the regiment arrived here
from New York early in the afternoon.
AS he announced his intention of call
ing upon the President the Secret Serv-
ice officials were soon on his trial A
few minutes examination of the man by
one of the officials and George Pollock
who served with the Rough Riders, con-
vinced them that he was not what he
professed to be. He then confessed that
he had not seen service in Cuba and that
he had posed as a rough rider merely as
means of gaining an audience with
the President. He left the village on the
next train.
Judge Spencer H. Adams of Green
Vile, s. c.. had by appointment an in
terview with the President tonight. Judge
Adams recently was appointed chief jus
tice of the Choctaw and Chickasaw cit
izenship court of the Indian Territory,
and came here to discuss with Mr.. Roose-
welt the frauds ot the citizenship of the
two tribes.
1t is thought today that Secretary Root
may be here the last of the week. One Of
the subjects he will take up with the
President is the record in the courtmartial
case of General Smith. The record has
been briefed for the President, and as
he is the final reviewing authority he
will go over the case carefully before rem
dering his decision. The endorsement
which the President will make upon the
record probably will be given to the pub
lie soon after it is made because of the
Importance of the case.

standing. In the face of these Difficult
ties even the most heroic efforts to-
wards rescue seem hopeless.
Miners who left the mine by way OF
the Mill Creek entrance brought hor-
rible stories of crawling over the dead
bodies of their comrades
Chief Mining Engineer Moore and AS
sistant Prosser, were the first to en-
ter the mine after the explosion. They
went In at the main entrance and be-
gan to work their way to the other

Miraculous Escapes.
The stories of the men who escaped are
miraculous. Tom Foster, an assistant
foreman In the Klondyke mines, was
among the first to emerge from the Mill
creek shaft Shortly after Powell Grif-
fifth, fire boss, came up. Foster was in
his office when the explosion occurred.
His first thought was for the safety of
the men under his charge. With the help
of Foreman Roberts an effort was made
to replace a few of the shattered doors.
All the while the fire damp was closing
around them. They did not falter for an
instant, but straight into the midst of
the danger they went. They thought
"save the men, was paramount
Through galleries into headings. warn
ing and helping, the two men went. Rob
erts fell but Foster staggered on, whith-
er he hardly knew. In the midst of the
danger he met Powell GAiffith, fire
boss. He had faced what seemed certain
death in an effort to save his men.
Forward they went, dragging com
rade into a place of possible safety here,
giving word of warning there, until hu-
man endurance could stand the strain no
longer. Exhausted, they staggered into
a heading where the fire damp had not
entered. There they rested fds moment
and then plunged forward-where, they
did not know until finally they wandered
into a water level and through 1t reached
a place of safety.
Tom Foster said:
How l escaped do not know. 1t seems
like terrible nightmare. Hundreds Of
times I gave up hope. but from sheer in
stinct l stumbled forward until finally
reached a place of safety"

hospital, but the physicians there de-
cline to state the result of their diagnosis

Afro-AmerIcan Council.

broke in the Afro-American council to-
day as the result of the election of OFF,
cials and for time the scene on the floor
of the convention was exciting

tated by a fear on the part of the ruling
faction that the insurgents" had be-
come sufficiently strong to oust them
from office. Yesterday motion was
made advancing the time for the election
of officers to o'clock this afternoon.
Many of the delegates, 1t is said, misun-
derstood the change in the hour for the
election, and as a consequence only about
twenty were in attendance today when
the report of the nominating committee,
naming the officers selected by the ruling
faction, was presented and adopted.
Not until the time for the installation
of the new officers arrived did the 'insur-
gents" gain a knowledge of the coup.
Protests came from a large number OF
the delegates, among them several who
had been included in the nominating COM
mittee's report. As q consequence the
officers could not be installed and the
row.
The officers elected were:
President, Thomas T. Fortune. Jersey
City; vice-presidents, w. A. Pledger.
Georgia; George II. White North Caro-
lima; J. C. Dancy. North Carolina; I. B.
Scott, louisiana; H. P. Johnson. E. H.
Deas South Carolina; financial secretary.

spending secretary. Mrs Fannie Barnett

NEWSPAPER NOT
LIKE ROLLING MILL
JUDGE DECIDES THAT 1T CANNOT
BE CONSIDERED A MANUFAC-
TURING PLANT-DoEsN'T HAVE
OPINION FOR SALE.

Louisville, July 10--Judge Miller Of the
Circuit Court. today ruled, in denying the
claim of a certain creditor, to a lien on
the property of the Dispatch Publish
ing Company, that a newspaper is not a
manufacturing plant and not like roll
Ing mill or foundry as specified by the
statute. The following is from the opin-
ion:
1T is true that newspaper is some
times spoken of as a manufacturer of
public opinion, but in giving this de-
scription it is not intended to convey
the impression that a newspaper makes
or manufactures public opinion for sale
in the sense that a rolling mill or foun-
dry manufactures iron or iron imple-
ments for sale.
