IN DEFAULT OF $4,000.
Aged Treasurer of Massachusetts, Com.
pany Misuses It's Funds.

A dispatch from Boston yesterday says:
With the announcement today Of the as
signment Of the Dudley Hosiery mills, at
Newton Upper Falls. came a report In
financial circles of the misuse of notes of
the Bowker Fertilizer Company to the ex-
tent of $4,000 by Treasurer Henry F. Coe
of the hosiery mills. who also had been
treasurer Of the Bowker company.
The report affecting Mr.. Goes financial
administration was confirmed tonight by
Frederick Higginson, who succeeded him as
treasurer of the Bowker company three
weeks ago, he stating that Coe had con-
fessed to the officers of the Bowker COM
pany that he had taken the money repre-
sented by $4,000 in notes Mr.. Higginson
added that 1t was yet impossible to learn
from the companys books the exact sum
lost.
Mr.. r. S. Gorham. counsel for the COM
pany, said that no action had been taken
against Coe, and that he did not know what
the future would bring forth. Mr.. Coe is
between sixty and seventy years of age,
and he claims that he did not profit per
sonaily by the transactions the money go
ing into the Dudley Hosiery mills. Coe was
under bonds Of $4,000 through a bonding
company.
The attorney Of the Bowker company said
tonight that Goes transaction had nothing
to do with the recent amalgamation of that
concern with the American Agricultural
Chemical Company, it's chief competitor:
that 1t was simply coincidence.

out the other. st am informed on the best
authority" said Mr. Shibe, that the Gin
clnnati men who want an American League
franchise have unlimited capital. The
American has received their proposition,
but has taken no action on 1t as yet"
Defeated in its attempt to wreck the Bal
t1more American League club by securing
the majority of the stock, and urged by the
transfer of the star players, the National
League now tries to invoke the aid OF the
courts to thwart Ban Johnson and his fol-
lowers in their legitimate efforts to build up
good team in Baltimore. The policy thus
pursued by the older organization is along
the line followed already-that of the cut
throat variety. After forfeiting the fran
chise by failing to put a team on the field
the day after the Benedict Arnold act, the
National League now wants TO annihilate
the achievement of Johnson in blocking it's
plans. 1t must have hurt to pay $4,000 to
secure six players not worth half that sum,
and then find that the real object had not
been achieved at all. No wonder the Ma
tional League plays the whipped dog act in
trying to secure some solace for it's chagrin.
1t is easy to foresee that it will have a very
small measure of success in this latest
game of invoking the aid of the courts. 1t
will make out just about as well as Colonel
Rogers did in Cleveland, as Brooklyn in the
Mcclure case, and the St. Louis club in its
injunction proceedings-NeW York Evening

CHICAGO TO HAVE CHEAP GAS
By Verdict Rendered in United States
Circuit Court

A dispatch from Chicago yesterday says:
Judge Peter s. Grosscup. in the United
States circuit court today, dismissed the
amended bill Of the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company, asking for an Injunction
against the city Of Chicago restraining 1t
from enforcing the 70 cent gas ordinance
on the ground Of want Of Jurisdiction. A
demurrer to the amended bill was sus-
tained and an appeal by the company all
lowed to the United States Supreme Court
In bonds Of 5000, 900. The court considered
the jurisdiction question and cited a de-
cision In similar case in Detroit
The appeal Of this case to the Supreme
Court marks the most important step in
long and bitter technical battle by the city
OF Chicago against the Peoples Company to
secure cheap gas on ordinance regulat-
ing the price Of gas at 15 cents thousand
feet The company now charges ST. and
claims the righ under it's charter to in
crease the price.
Granville w. Browning master in chan
Gerry and special counsel for the city in the
case, said: This is great victory for the
city. Every contention raised in the argu-
ment was sustained and the court decides
the ruling in the Detroit Traction Company
case on which such stress was laid by op-
posing counsel, Is not in point In the pres
ent case. We have won the fight and I do
not anticipate any reversal Of the ruling in

CARNEGIE's GIFT TO MORLEY.
Valuable Working Library Formerly
Owned by Lord Acton.

A dispatch from London yesterday SAYS:
An auction sale of rare books this afternoon
brought high prices. A "Caxton Royalr'
book sold for Fl 400 and a second folio
Shakespeare brought f615.
Andrew Carnegie, who bought the famous
library belonging to Lord Acton, has pre-
sented it to sshn Morley.
The library consists Of 10000 volumes
and is essentially the working library of a
bookman and not that of bibliomaniac. 1t
is exceedingly rich in historical and eccIe-
siastical works. For the latter reason and
because it would cost 10000 to erect a
building for the library the Daily Chronicle
thinks Mr.. Carnegie does not intend his
gift for Mr.. Morley's private use, but rather
that he should hold it in trust for some
public use, probably Of one Of the uniyersi-
ties. and preferably Cambridge, with which
Lord Acton was connected, and especially
If Mr.. Carnegie provides also means for
housing the library.
The Times this morning says Ii under
stands Mr., Carnegie presented the library
to Mr.. Morley as mark of long friendship
and grateful regard and that the donor in
tends the gift to be devoted to whatever
purposes and destination Mr.. Morley shall
judge best. Mr.. Morley will probably seek
a home for his fine possession In one OF the
old universities, either in England or Scot
land.

"LoYAL ORIOLES DAY"
Chicago "Fans" to Honor Players Who
Stuck to American League.

A special from Chicago says that the
White Stockings will begin a long series of
games on the home grounds today. Balti-
more will be the first opponent. and the
Orioles who have been loyal to the Amer
lean League will be given royal welcome
by the Chicago enthusiasts.
A great demonstration has been planned
for Saturday by the Chicago friends of the
American League. A committee called
upon President Johnson and laid plans be-
fore him. He told the members to go
ahead and do what they liked. Chicago
lovers of the national game appreciate the
loyalty of the members of the Baltimore
team who refused to go to the National
League when McGraw and the others with
drew from the club. They have concluded
that Saturday Is the best time for them to
show their appreciation. and they intend to
do 1t in way that will make the visiting
players feel good.
The day is to be called Loyal Orioles
day" A band has been engaged, and the
Baltimore players will be told that they
are too important personageS to walk upon
the diamond unattended. Therefore the
band will be sent to the club house and will
march down ahead of them. Then they will
receive flowers and other tokens of appre-
citation.
The Baltimore team is much more pop
ular now than it was before the disruption
OF the team, and ComiSkey expects almost
a recoTd-breaking series in point of attend
ance.
President Johnson is not worrying about
the new move of his enemies in Baltimore
Everything is in the hands of the Amer
1can League attorneys" says Mr.. johnson.
They are not worrying and why should l?
We have good team in Baltimore as the
Chicago people will see when it comes here
10 begin series with the White Stockings.
We also have the confidence of the public
and the movement in Baltimore was little
more than a final spaSm.
Il have papers here which show me to be
absolutely in the right in everything which
mas been done. and so the American League
is resting easily"

Stevens of Hoboken, Clothier winning three

Clothier will meet Irving Wright in the

One of the brightest little ball players
and managers in the country is Clarke
Griffith of the champion Chicago aggrega-
tion. Griffith in the past has got into trou-
BILE with President Johnson through over
zealousness for his club; of late he has
Gained down considerably, and is attend
ing strictly to business. Before the Chica-
go club left Washington for Cleveland
Tuesday night an Evening Star reporter
had quite an interesting talk with Griffith
at the Ebbitt. What makes the conversa-
tion important is the fact that the Chicago
manager Is very close to Magnate Charles
Comiskey. and what he says comes very
close to being official.
After discussing the chances of the cham
pionship race. a point on which the little
manager could nothing but his own
club, the talk turned on the fight between
the American and National leagues.
zone of the chief points of a National
League magnate's talk" said Griffith, has
been that the American League is losing
money by bucketfuls and will be swamped
before the season is concluded. To offset
this assertion L want to show you some of
the printed statements l have received
from the different clubs on the eastern trip
just closed.
These statements are made out by the
treasurer of each club, one goes to Pres
ident Johnson. one to the home and the
other to the visiting team. These figures
have to be official, as upon them President
Johnson depends for the 10 per cent which
is turned into the sinking fund before each
cIub receives one cent"

Manager Griffith then pulled several print
ed slips from his pocket book and showed
them to The Star reporter.
You can see from these Statements
said Griffith that for three games in this
city was paid for over II 900 people. That
is quite a fair average. Over in Boston
our statement called for paid admissions of
nearly 1900, while in Philadelphia Conny
Mack treasurer paid us for over 1900
more In Baltimore we were, of course,
handicapped by McGraws foOlhardy trick,
but on the single game and double-header
we received cash for over 5000 admissions
ANY base ball .magnate will tell you that
money can be made with team whose ad-
missions average 1000 on the sea-
son. We are now drawing toward
the fag end of the season and
these figures are fully one-third short Of
what the western clubs received on the first
western trip. The closeness of the race will
probably keep up the interest to the end.
and should such prove to be case, cannot
see anything but good profits for every club
in the American League, Baltimore except
ed. In the Oriole city the conditions are
out of the usual order, but should the team
manage to make a remarkable squirt, even
that aggregation may have a balance on
the right side Of the ledger.
National League Attendance.
"As an offset to these figures, I wish
could show You the statements was shown
by a National League manager about two
weeks ago In Boston. They simply showed
that where we have been drawing thou
sands they have been paid for hundreds.
Under these circumstances. If the American
League has been losing money, as claimed
by the National League promoters, what
must be the aggregate loss of the older or
ganization? The American League teams
are expensive. but the National League
teams are not far behind. and while we
have been taking in dollars to pay salaries,
the other organization has had to be con-
tent with pennies.
properly conducted, will always be q win
ner In this country. The National League
magnates know this fact from every point
of view and are fighting their best to keep
the American League from getting a share
of the big money expended each summer
by the public for summer amusement in a
snoring WAY.
