Manager Horace FogeI, usually and IN
der ordinary circumstances a most con-
servative man, has no hesitancy in ex-
pressing himself in regard to what is 60
ing to be doing if Chrfsty Matthewson
does not mend his guspenders and take a
brace Horace uses strenuous language
in speaking Of the matter
Matthewson has not pitched the ball
this year he is capable OF, - remarked
Manager FogeI the other day. He seems
to be laboring under the mental deIusion
that the reputation he established last
season will carry him through this sea
son and the remainder of his career.
whether he pitC hes winning ball or not
but in this he rs greatly mistaken. I no.
titled him the other day that he would be
given another chance to make good when
we play the Pirates on Wednesday, and
that unless he pitched good ball he would
be compelled to occupy the bench until
he could do justice TO his team
Il do not propose TO have player with
reputation sitting around doing as he
pleases- The last game that Mr.. Mat
thewson pitched, he acted as though he
did not care whether the ball was knocked
over the fence OF not, and I am not going
TO stand for any such stunts as that in
mine. We have other pitchers who are
aE-3oUs to go in and do good work and
Work regularly and / viii give them the
preference until Matthewson shows a dis
position to do better work Mr.. Chris
toFher Matthewson is not paid for look
ing pretty, neither are we carrying him
around because he played good ball last
year He must either make good or SUI
fer the consequences"
II Manager Fogel were wise he would
not talk quite so much He seems to for
get that some old geeser remarked IN
days gone by: "A little knowledge is
dangerous. What Horace does not know
about MatthewsOn and baseball in gen
erai would fill several volumes. If he
tries any of his bench stunts witk Matty
there viii be something doing, both If
the line Of loosing games and a decided
slump in the gate receipts. Matty may
not be paid for looking pretty, but if he
were he could make good. So far as that
saying Of carrying him around for last
years work goes, that would be a most
creditable purpose for carrying him
around; that is, if there were no other
reason. But the baseball public knows
the standing that Matty has in baseball
and FOgeI's on-hand remarks should
cause no alarm. Matty viii be with the
Gothamites after FogeI has seen his best

Claimants First
Must Settle
Dispute.
AUDITOR ADVISED
AS TO HIS DUTY
Dole Gives Opinion as TO Claims
In Which Several Are
Interested.

i Fire claimants whose claims are sub
| rogated or subject to other interests
will not receive their warrants until
there is an authorization from all par
ties interested. Auditor Fisher re-
ceived an opinion to this effect from
Attorney General Dole yesterday. and
claimants will have to settle the mat
ter between themselves before making
a demand upon the Auditor.
The following is the opinion of Mr..
Dole:
Territory of Hawaii,
Office of the Attorney General.
Honolulu, December 20, 1902.
| Colonel j. H Fisher
Auditor Territory of Hawaii.
Dear Sir I beg to acknowledge
your favor of yesterday, in which you
say:
Herewith I enclose a letter from the
trustees of the estate of James Camp
bell relating to their claim No. 500 be-
fore the Fire Claims Commission.
at appears that the Commission has
made an award on this claim Of ST.
10000, part of which, $4,000, is without
qualification, and the remainder, $4,000,
IS follows: Award on item No. 2,
Pauahi ST. subject to the interest as
it may appear of claim No. for the
sum of 50, 100000
con claim No 6 the Commission
award as follows: Award made to
claim 55S subject to the interest as it
may appear of this claimant No. 6 for
81, 10000
"As there are very large number Of
awards made as above, and sometimes
as many as four or five claims tied up
in one award, L respectfully ask you
for your opinion as to whether l am
justified in surrendering warrants for
these awards without the authorization
or receipt of all the parties interested
1 cannot advise you that you can
safely surrender warrants for these
awards without the authorization or
receipt of all the parties interested.
The Fire Claims Commission was set
the almost impossible task of adjudi-
eating more than a thousand claims
q month. 1t was not within the linz
its of human industry, in this short
space Of time, to pass upon underlined
outstanding interests in all cases, even
# the Commission had lawful power to
Go SO. In such cases as this which
you refer to, I presume that either one
of the rival claimants could mandamus
you and, the other Intervening, that
their respective rights and interests
could thus be settled I think it is
not your duty to deliver a warrant
where there is serious doubt who is
entitled to it, and where you may be
held personally liable for a mistake.
Very truly yours.
(Signed) E. P. DOLE,
Attorney General.
The last of the ten per cent warrants
will be ready for delivery today or to-
morrow. There are still about $500 to
