The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1902-03-27
Sarah Hill

was born in the parish of Shedder in
Somersetshire, England, on the 18th
day of June, 1922, and died in Leon,
Iowa, at the home of her son, James II.
Evans, March %, 1902, being 70 years
and 9 months of age. In the year lS44
the subject of this sketch was united in
marriage with Mr.. E. Il. Evans, who
survives her, and with whom she shared
the lows and sorrows of life for 81 years.
To them have been born eight children,
two of whom are still living. In the
year l84S they emigrated to America,
and in 1850 located in Delaware county,
Iowa, where they resided for several
years. In 1889 the family moved to
Leon and have since resided here. In
1852 Mrs. Evans was converted and
united with the M. E.. church, being
baptized in the NADIA river. Since that
time she has lived faithful and con-
slstent Christian life. In her home she
was indeed helpmeet. Her children
found her an excellent mother, and her
husband found her one upon whom he
could depend for help and comfort.
Her faith was fixed upon God, and she
discovered for herself the truth of that
scripture that "the path of the just is as
shining light which shineth more and
\ more unto the perfect day." When
death came it found her ready to entel
into the home prepared. She wa
anxious to be absent from the body
that she might be present with he

Before death finally came she had com

 W. J. Tracey, manager of last years Bristol team, is the moving spirit of the new organization. He said yes- terday in discussing the new league: 1.-Two former state league players will have control of the New Haven team in the new league. In Hart ford, H H. Jennings will be given the franchise; in New Britain, H. O. Gussman; in Bridgeport, Thomas J. McCann. In New Britain, we have secured Rentchlers park. Tn Hart ford we have the offer of two ball grounds, both nearer the center of the city than the old Eastern league grounds. We shall play games ey- cry day and each club will be allowed to carry only II players. At Water bury, Thomas Guest will take the franchise. At Danbury the street railway company will build the grounds and back the club.'
 The threats of the Bristol magnates are exciting the packers of the old state league, who will hold special meeting before long, at which the ri val league, as well as several other complications. will be discussed Nearly all the Bristol players who won the championship last season are holding off from finally signing con- tracts, for some unknown reason.
 In reference to the above the Dem ocrat interviewed MT Guest this morn ing and he emphatically denied that lie was to be ill any way connected with any league or baseball team. It is just as we'll also to remind the Bristol dreamers that Mclean, Owens and Beaumont have signed with Man. ager Connor; that H. c. Gussman of New Britain is just now too busy looking after the position of corpora ton counsel to meddle with any base ball dreams; that H. H. Jennings of Hartfp'd cut his eye teeth some years ago i'll polo as we'll as baseball, and knows enough to keep his hands and his money out of danger; that Dan bury has been tried and found want ing even when that hating village had corking good team; that the for mer state league players who are go ing to handle the New Haven dream | tSbAA dlG pIOpdDly HOW leeQlnS on SHOW balls and will not be able to put i'll q sufficient supply for the winter that Bridgeport has no use for an other baseball team while Manager James is at the head of the present team; that the threats of the Bristo packers are exciting nothing but merriment in the hearts of the original state league, and that Bristol is really and truly alone in her dreams of an other league.
 On the recommendation of Ton Dowd of Holyoke the Meriden club has signed catcher named Eugene Leary who is said to be corker

Here is the good old ''pipe" dream revived once more and it is really too bad that Bristol was dropped, for we are so very much afraid @ the orig inal Connecticut State league is doomed. The following is the dream from Bristol, the prize winner of dreamland:
 "A rival baseball league will be put into Connecticut in opposition to the old state league said James Cray, secretary of the Bristol Baseball as- sociation last night. "We shall take the corporate name state league, and shall put teams into Bristol, Hartford, Waterbury, New Haven, Danbufy, Bridgeport, and one other town to be selected later, possibly Meriden.

BASE BALL.

Detroit. March 6--"As we are now the major organization, said President Johnson of the American league last evening, .and as we are paying big league salaries and have big league players. I think we are perfectly justi- fled ill raising American league prices"
 This announcement of the matter of admission prices was made at the American league meeting yesterday. The first proposition was to have Ma tional league figures, but this was too steep for most of the magnates. Then compromise was agreed upon which called for a 25-cent bleacher admission, 50-cent pavilion or covered bleacher ad- mission, and 75-cent grand stand seats. The visiting clubs will get half of every 25-cent bleacher admission and p cents for all higher priced seats, with the usual sinking fund reserve held out by the league Philadelphia is exempt from the increase i'll prices and will charge as formerly.
 Detroit and Baltimore joined hands i'll fighting the increase and the debate waxed warm, but finally the opposition was quieted. The increase in price is taken as the first step toward further expansion hy the American league. If there are any cities not capable of keeping up the q end, then in 1903 there will be q Makeup. It is be- lieved that fight on Freedman, unless he sells out, will be waged a year from this season. while Cincinnati will also be attacked by the vigorous young league.
 We did not even discuss New York today said President Johnson, "and nothing along that line will be done al this meeting. The schedule has been completed and the cities are selected What the future may bring forth is a different matter. but for the present there will be no New York and no ten club league, anyway. New York can go and see Freedman's club play lit tie longer.'
 The league added $2,500 to Johnson's salary in recognition of his work. Ii was decided to cut all teams down tC fourteen men on the 1st of June Cleveland is to play Sunday ball out side the city limits. If this is prevent ed these games will probably go to Gin cinnati.

New Orleans, March 6.-The stew ards yesterday afternoon made pub lie their investigation i'll the Steeple- chase scandal. They ruled Jockeys Ellison, Bartley, Brazil, Penn, Me Hugh and Gaddy off the turf for life The entries of the horses Dagmar and Coley are denied for the rest of the meeting Ed Richardson's sta bles are also refused entry to the track. Dagmar is disqualified i'll the different races in which she has fin- ished one, two, three at the fair grounds, and her owner, w. II. White, is notified to refund the winnings of the mare, which amount to $1, ,45O Should White not refund the winnings of Dagmar before March 15, both he and the mare will be ruled off the turf for life. The stewards in their ruling say that majority of the races run here this winter through the field were of very suspicious nature. The stewards, in other words, declare that there was always a nomination and the winners were all ''shooed in." Ac- cording to an agreement between the different racing associations this means turf exile for Richardson ill the west Shell is said to be one of the go-betweens. The stewards could not secure direct evidence against him and consequently he escaped maxi mum punishment. Local people were not mentioned in the rulings Poli- ticians, barbers, drummers and mer- chants are mixed up i'll the scandal, but the stewards, for reasons best known to themselves, failed to men, ton their names. W. H. White comes from Chicago. The ruling as it stands is not at all satisfactory to the public and Is considered a very poor one.

INVESTIGATING GRAIN RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission II
Session at Wichita.

WICHITA, Kan, September 25.-The in
terstate commerce commission is in session
here taking testimony in the case known
as the expert grain case, in which Wichita
maintains that the railroads discriminate on
gulf rates in favor of Kansas City against
Wichita The commission will remain in
session here for three days.
Expert testimony was introduced showing
that three quarters of the wheat of Kansas
is grown within radius of 100 miles Of
Wichita Wheat pays a rate of 2s1e cents
to Galveston from Wichita, while Kansas
Citv sends wheat through Wichita to Gal
weston on a 15-cent rate 1t was testified to
that Nortonville, north of Wichita, shipped
wheat to Kansas City and thence to Gal
weston via Wichita at rate of cents less
than the Wichita rate. Secretary Herser of
the Wichita board of trade testified that he
has positive knowledge that Kansas City
grain men received rates to Galveston at
even less than the published tariff.
Superintendent Biddle of the traffic de-
partment of the Santa Fe admitted that
Wichita was better natural grain market
than Kansas City; that eastern roads terani-
mating at Kansas City insisted on making
that the grain center, SO that they could
compete for the grain trade of ksnsas He
thought that the roads going south from
Kansas City, such as the Pittsburg and
Gulf, were partly responsible for the low
Kansas City rate. since being heavy haul
ers Of lumber they could carry wheat
southwark cheaper than roads that could
not have their cars filed both ways.

CHICAGO, September 25-Five matrimo-
NAL agencies and two turf commission"
offices have been visited by detail of city
detectives. Both commission bureaus were
stripped of their contents and three men
were placed under arrest.
Three other men and one woman for
wnam the police had warrants, evaded ar
the raid, believes there is matrimonial

and going away.
Detective Woolidge, who was in charge of
the raid, believes there is a matrimonial

same men and operating many branches
under various names. In some cases cor
porate names have been assumed and liter
ature issued states that these concerns are

Is VIGOROUSLY DENIED
RUMoR OF SECRETARY SHAW'S
INTENTION TO RESIGN.
Alleged Differences Between the Presi-
dent and Secretary on the Tariff
An Authoritative Declaration.

The rumor that Secretary Shaw is to re-
sign in the course OF time, printed il New
York newspaper, was most vigorously Le-
Secretary Shaw said:
Il denied this ruuror in Chicago. 1t would
seem unnecessary to repudaate a story that
has author and is built upon false as
sumption, and is enlarged upon simply to
fill space. The President and the Secretary
of the Treasury are in thorough harmony.
Of this there need by no doubt If the
speeches made by the President and the
Secretary will be read and compared in
stead of the headlines
1t was charged that the President and
his Secretary were at variance on practical
ly all important public questions, especially
the tariff. The declaration comes from an
authoritative source that there are no ma
terial differences in the positions OF the
Secretary and the President on these ques-
tons These who know Secretary Shaw
say that he is too conservative and too eau
tious to embarrass his chief and the repub-
lican leaders by putting forth views not in
accord with those of the White House. In
his Vermont speech on the tariff and again
in his recent Chicago speech, Secretary
Shaw did not speak, 1t is intimated, with
out the knowledge of the President. The
President has been aware of the Secre-
tary's attitude on the tariff and, it is pre-
summed, has given his sanction to 1t. 1t Is
also pointed out that the views of the Pres
ident, as enunciated in his Indiana speeches,
just before the operation at Indianapoli
ana those of Secretary Shaw are in such
accord as to merit attention
Secretary Shaw spent half hour with
the President this morning at the Presi-
dent S invitation.

COGHLAN'S SOU ADRON
FORMIDABLE GATHERING IN THE
CARIBBEAN.
Disturbed Conditions in Countries
Bordering on the Sea Demand an
Adequate Naval Force.

The squadron of the North Atlantic fleet
is to rendezvous in the Caribbean sea a
good while before the appointed time for
the assembly of the vessels from the North
and South Atlantic and European stations.
1t Is stated at the Navy Department that
the cruiser Olympia, flagship of Rear Ad-
miral Coghlan, will be ready and at that
officers disposal by October 20, and in that
case it will not be necessary for the admiral
to make use of the Vixen as flagship. The
latter vessel will not be ready until about
November l. She will then join the squad
ron under Admiral Coghlan's command and
be used by him as tender enabling him
to move from point to point as occasion
arises with more dispatch than would be
the case with the larger Olympia.
The cruiser San Francisco is now Oh her
way to the West Indies and there are al
ready in those waters the Cincinnati, the
Montgomery, the Marietta and the Panther.
Besides these vessels the Navy Depart
ment intends to attach to Admiral Cosh-
lanS squadron the protected cruiser Raj
eigh the unprotected cruiser Detroit and
the gunboat Machias, with the exception of
the Panther and Cincinnati These vessels
will be under the direct command of Rear
Admiral Coghlan, and that officer will act
Independently of Rear Admiral Slas Casey,
who is now en- route to Panama, aboard the
Wisconsin. to take command of the United
states naval forces on the isthmuS.
On the Isthmus.
In case, however, of a conjunction of the
forces of these two admirals on the
isthmus Rear Admiral Casey, being the
ranking officer, will assume supreme COM
mand. For the time being the Cincinnati
and the Panther, now at Colon and the
Ranger at Panama, will be considered as a
part of the isthmian force under Admiral
Casey.
The Navy Department has two objects in
view in this early dispatch of war vessels
to the Caribbean-preliminary work in re-
gard to the maneuvers and the disturbed
situation on the isthmus and in the coun-
tries which border that sea, it being argued
that, as the vessels are to go down to the
West Indies any way, 1t is just as well, In
view of the state Of affairs in Central and
South America, to have them go earlier.
The remainder of the North Atlantic fleet
is scheduled to assemble at Hampton Roads
about November 49, and to depart for the
West Indies about the 1st Of December.
