BRUSH STORY IS DENIED
JOHNSON SAYS RED OWNER DID
NOT MAKE AN OFFER.

CHICAGO, Jan 23-The report that
John L. Brush, part owner of the Ctncln-
natl club of the National league, ha
asked for an American league franchise
troll of the latter organization was de-
MED by Ban Johnson, president of the
American league, who returned to Chi
cago from St. Louis yesterday morning.
The announcement that Brush was
seeking franchise for a club at Cincin-
natl under control of the American league
was made at Cincinnati by friends or
Brush after his return to that city from
Chicago. Brush is one of the four Ma

present controversy that intends to jump,
it is said, unless there is a settlement
brought about.
There is no truth whatever in the fe-
port that Brush sought a franchise IN

day. He was in Chicago short time
ago, but he never made a. proposition 10
me about putting an American league III
Cincinnati. From what l know DreyfHs
started that story in Cincinnati when tie
went down there from here Saturday,
but there is absolutely no truth in it.
Johnson arrived in Chicago from the
other end Of the drainage canal early IN
the morning. He was at the Mound City
in the interest of the American league
club there. especially to see what was

DR.. Hollister yesterday admitted that
he would accept the proposition of the
special committee and appoint there men
as his assistants. The question is not
definitely decided until the full board
acts favorably on the report, but this
is regarded as a foregone conclusion.
The significance of this arrangement is
that it marks the Inauguration of the
graduate coach system at Northwestern,
and if the experiment is successful the
resident coach will be dispensed with.
One of the assistants will be put in
charge of the training table, and DR.. HOl-

Ex-GOv. Yarmouth InduIgcs I'm Wig
orOusly Sarcastic Criticism of
Alleged Cheeky Request
of Cuban Planters.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Cuban
reciprocity hearings before the ways and
means committee today were devoted
! chleny to the cane sugar interests OF
Louisiana, who are opposing the pro-
posed concessions to Cuba on the ground
That II will cripple the sugar production
CT that state. A number of the large
planters and manufacturers of the state
were present, and the allied interests OF
beet sugar, which are similarly opposed
to concessions to Cuba, were numerously
represented
The opening statement in behalf OF
louisiana was made by J. c. Hill of New
Orleans, an extensive planter. lie pointed
out that there was no need Of making
an appeal In behalf of Cuba. as the island
was gifted by nature 50 as to produce
sugar at exceedingly low rates which
could enter into fair competition with the
rest OF the world. He compared the
status of Cuba with that of the South
after the Civil war, and showed that the
South had worked out its own salvation
without making appeals for special Ia
vors.
Yarmouth Is Sarcastic
Ex-Gov. Yarmouth Qa) made a vigor-
Gus speech opposing concessions to Cuba
! 1t was proposition, he said from the
''syndicates and grantees of Cuba, who
had the check to come before an Amefi-
can congress and ask that the industries
of our people shall be destroyed so that
they could mako money out of our mer-
chants
He referred to Gen Woods activity in
the movement. which indicated, Gov
Yarmouth said, that Gov Wood had be-
come infatuated with Cuba and his Span
ish associates. This might be a part of
the governor generals duty, but it has
not improved the credit of Americans a.
the banks The speaker maintained THAI
the Cubans who were urging this conces-
sion were buying their goods in Spain and
England, and yet had the cheek to come
to an American congress for help. The
poor Cubans, he said seemed to have
been entirely ''lost in the shuttle, and
congress was now asked to take up the
people who helped Spain to crush the life
out Of the Cubans.-
Robert Oxnard, of San Francisco, and
d. C. Corbin, of Washington spoke for
the beet sugar industries in these locali-
ties, their argument being on substan-
TALLY similar lines to those already made
During the examination of Robert Ok
nard, Representative Long presented a
letter from John D. Spreckels. the Call
fornia sugar producer. saying that in his
opinion the beet sugar industry could
stand small cut on raw sugar, but not
on refined sugar.
