Yesterday game was scheduled between the
Murray Hill and Spaulding teams, two OF the
best amateur baseball clubs in the city. at
o'clock. and at $3.50 there were over three thou

his credentials. informed Captain Hogan that

arrest the managers of the clubs. Captain
Hogan instructed Detective Kinney to take two
policemen. go to the grounds. and arrest the
managers If the game started.
Just before the game started the three police
men appeared on the field. The appearance OF
the pOllceHlen caused rumOr TO spread through
the crowd that the game would be stopped, and
the crowd began to hoot and jeer at the po-
Icemen. Just at o'clock the umpire called
out:

and the clapping of the spectators died away
when Detective Kinney and the bluecoats rushed
on the field, Kinney waving his hand to the
catcher TO hold the ball.
Where are the managers OF these teamS?"
demanded Kinney.
What do you want them for?" asked the
Spaulding captain. The policemen were sur

and told TO appear in the Harlem court this

The players continued the game. and It went
on uninterruptedly to the finish. When the
managers were released they went back to the
Oval, and were received with cheers by the play

THOUGHT WIFES LOVE GONE
MAN COMMITTED SUICIDE BY THROW
ING HIMSELF BEFORE ELE-
WAITED TRAIN

Believing that his wife no longer loved him.
Jacob Seidel. cigar dealer. of No. 1O16 De
Kalb-ave., Brooklyn. ended his life yesterday
afternoon by throwing himself in front of an
elevated train at the Myrtle-ave station of the
Broadway line Seidel, who was thirty years
old. lived with his wife and four children at the
De Kalb-ave. address. His business was
good one but in some way he had got the idea
that his wife no longer loved him. and for sew
eral days he had been brooding over it. He
said nothing TO his wife about his purpose but
quietly left home yesterday afternoon. planning
to go out to Ridgewood and shoot himself In
the woods
AS he got of the elevated train at Broadway
and Myrtle-ave. TO change cars for Ridgewood,
Seidel saw another train coming IN the oppo-
site direction. bound for East New-York. The
idea seized him that TO jump in front OF the
train would be much quicker means Of death.
He leaped from the platform and crossed the
downtown track. The engineer OF the ap-
preaching train. being on the other side did not
see Seidel until he had thrown himself on the
tracks. The pilot of the engine pushed the man
partially out of the way but the heavy wheels
crushed his right leg and arm.
The back wheels rested on the mans arm. and
ii delicate task to move the engine
not to injure him more. Meantime. he los
ing blood steadily, and a large crowd gathered
in the street below, gazing UP at the awful
sight. The injured man was got to the street
and taken TO the Williamsburg Hospital. There
what was left Of the arm and leg were ampu-
tated. Seidel had lost so much blood previously
that he lived less than an hour after the opera
tion.
Mrs. Seidel tainted when she heard that her
husband had killed himself. She declared that
he had not the slightest reason for believing
that she had ceased TO love him. Indeed, her
actions at the hospital showed clearly that she
was greatly attached to him.

THE FIGHT AGAINST TRUSTS
PRESIDENT AND ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO SPEAK FOR RESTRICTIVE LAWS
.RY TEIEGRAru no me rRIRrNE. ]

Washington. July 6.-Representative Little
field, of Maine. recognized as one of the ablest
lawyers in Congress, is preparing, at the sug-
gestion of President Roosevelt, as announced in
The Tribune this morning, bill for the regula-
ton of trusts and combinations in restraint of
trade to be introduced at the short session Of
Congress The Presidents Pittsburg speech was
anticipated in Washington Nobody imagines
that he contemplates any confscaton of proper
ty. but 1t is semi-oficially announced that in
connection with the Cuban question he proposes.
while making A tour this summer and fall, to
pave the way for anti-t trust legislation of an ef-
fective kind. Representative Littlefeld was At
torney General Of his State, and is a lawyer OF
such conspicuous attainments that a bill pre-
pared by him after consultation with Attorney
General Knox will place the government in a
position where 1t regulate the trusts already
in existence and prevent the organization of
harmful combinations.
The Attorney General will make two or three
speeches this fall devoted to a discussion of
trusts and industrial combinations The object
of such speeches is apparent. There has been
an endless amount of ''resoluting' and political
hot air. on the subject of trusts, and the Pres-
dent in his administration proposes to do some
thing. He has already done enough to make the
Illegal combinations fear him and has nothing
TO gain from them in a political way. 1t was
fight between trusts that kept the Republican
majority from passing the one measure during
the last session of Congress on which the ad-
mnstration had set it's heart. Senators Elkns
and Burrows, with their sixteen followers stood
by the beet sugar trust. Other Republican
Senators stood by the refined sugar trust. In
stead of the government regulating the trusts,
the trusts regulated legislation.
Republican leaders know that unless some
thing is done by their party an opposition party
will do II. 1t is open secret that the Repub
licans made somewhat uneasy from the
beginning of the last Congress. They feared
that the Democrats would force a tariff dis
cusson. The Bryan following In the Senate

politicians freely admit in private conversation
that stupendous political blunder was COM
mitted. If the anti-imperialists ever had peg
TO stand on. President Roosevelt cut IL down
with his Fourth of July proclamation What he
did in the Philippine issue he will do in the trust
issue
The tariff question will in a similar manner
be taken from the Democrats. unless indications
are at fault. Democrats all over the country
