Ban johnson Orders COmiskey
to Reduce His Team.
Must Cut the List to a Limit OF
Fifteen Men.
WILL ENFORCE RULE.
Jack KatOll Expected to be the
One to Go.
Has Now Sixteen Players on the
Pay Roll.
WILL ENFORCE RULE.

Chicago, June 1S.-President B. B.
johnson insists that the clubs in the
American league shall live up to the
rule passed by that organization last
year of a limit of fifteen players for
each club and, today sent the second
notice to President Charles A. Comiskey
of the White Stockings to hle his list
of players with the secretary of the
league and cut down to the prescribed
number.
Comiskey has sixteen players under
contract and to conform with the re-
Guirements of the rules of the league
has one man to release The list of men
held by Coniskey at present is as fol-
lows: Pitchers, Griffith, Callahan, Pat
tersOn, GarVin, Plat, KatOll; iuhelders.
Isben, DAILY, Davis, Strang; outhelders,
Green, Jones, Aertes; catchers, Sullivan,
Eddie Mcfarland; utility, aermas Nc
Farland.
Who viii receive the blue envelope
from COmiskey is a question that even
the fOld Roman" finds hard to answer.
In all probability it will fall to the lot
of Jack Katoll, though either Garvin.
Platt or Hermas Mcfarland might be
the one instead.
Katoll has not been used by Manager
Griffith this season, with the exception
of one inning in one of the first games
of the year. While the club has been
on the road he has been sent to Racine
BY COmiskey to pitch for the bush
p
there. Comiskey is averse to letting
Jack go, as he has been with him for
good many years, practically all OF the
big twirIer's professional life. During
that time he has done some great work
for the south side magnate, though most
of it was in the old Western league.
Platt and Garvin were regarded as
experiments when the season opened.
but both have shown good form, and
miskey is pleased with their work
and probably will keep them. Hermas
Mcfarland is the only utility man on
the club, and the need of such q player
was amply demOnstra ted when Mertes
was hurt at Cleveland and again when
Green was out of the game and Gala
han had to play the right garden, there
by depTiving the champions of one of
their best pitchers
Before releasing any player, however
Comiskey viii give all the clubs in the
American league an opportunity to Sc
cure him if they desire, and if any
pitcher goes it is more than probable
that Connie Mack will add him to his
staff OfatWirlers.

Fort Scott Boy Returns From

Now Prevail There.
TELLS OF WATER CURE
Thinks it a Beneficial Chastise-

Old Spanish Laws of Obsolete
Nature in Force.
Hard to Quarantine Those Az

Fort Scott, June 40. B. Sheppard,
who is well known in this city and who
enlisted in the regular army several
years ago, has returned from Manila.
Mr.. Sheppard was in the Cuban cam
paign and afterwards went to the Phil
ippines, where he served the remainder
of his term of enlistment after which he
accepted and held g. civil position in the
quar- termaSter's department in Manila.
He has Travelled extensively through all
the states of Central America $50, and
in other places.
His choice of all is the Philippine is
lands and he talks of returning If con-
gress passes laws which will permit the
immediate development of the islands.
He says surveys have already been
made for two railroads which will be
constructed just as soon as some def1n-
ite legislation is secured. German and
English as well as American capitalists
are only waiting for this condition, to
make investments. A company will con-
struet an electric line in Manila as soon
as a legal franchise can be secured. The
same is true of a number Of other enter
prises.
Another Illustration of the need of
some immediate legislation for the is
lands is the fact that an American re-
Gently tried for debt in Manila before
an American judge, but under Spanish
laws was sent to prison to be held I'M

equally obsolete and unjust are still in

ed in connection with titles to land.
Many claim and use land to which they
have no right and when the government
takes hold Of the matter many of these
people will be ousted and the rightful
owners placed in possession.
Schools are doing very we'll. though it
is difficult to secure a regular attend
ance. Occasionally an American teach
er in the country districts is kidnapped
and retained in custody a few days but
none have been injured and they are
generally well treated.
Mr.. Sheppard says many of the ex-
soldiers who talk about water cure
know nothing whatever about it. Very
few soldiers witness such things there.
He knows of only one case and that

with murder by a coFoner's jury. Five
years ago a. dead man was found in a

sealed verdict which was later opened

he was never arrested. The identity of

taken to Wichita for medical treatment.
