ARMY CANTEEN QUESTION.
Abolition of Post Exchanges Has
Worked Harm to Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-General Bates,
paymaster general Of the army, has sent
communication to Adjutant General Corbin
in regard to the army canteen question in
which he says:
THE claim of the War Department rec
ommending the restoration OF the canteen
10 the army that during the operations of
the canteen law the discipline of the army
was superior, assertions much less and
that there were fewer fines and forfeitures
by courts-marttal on account of breaches
of military discipline resulting from the
use of intOxicants by men in the service,
appears TO be borne out by the records of
the paymaster generals officers. These
records show that the paymasters OF the
army collected from 1900 enlisted men
(regulars) during the last year in which
the canteen was in force, on account of
soldiers home dues, fines and fOrfeitures,
S462. SOS, while during the fiscal year 1902.
since the adjustment of the canteen
there was collected by paymasters from
about 10000 enlisted men (regulars) on the
same account $632, lbs
1.-THE fact therefore. appears indisputable
by the figures that the fines and forfeitures
imposed upon and collected from the en-
listed men of the army were vastly in
creased during the year subsequent to the
adjustment Of the canteen, which increase
cannot be well attributed TO any other
cause than the effects of an uncontrolled
liquor traffic in connection with military
posts, which traffic appears to seriously
affect the morals and discipline of the
army."

DREYFUS EXPECTS CRISIS
BELIEVES THERE WILL BE NO
AMERICAN LEAGUE AFTER 1908.
Says johnson VIII Not Enter New
York and Pittsburg-NatiOnal
League Stronger than Ever.
Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburg

Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburg
terday. He conferred with John T Brush
before the latter left for New York and
spent about two hours with w. H. Wat
kins In the latter's office in the Majestic
building. Just the exact nature OF the
business that brought Mr.. Dreyfuss TO In
dianapolis is not known, but he seemed to
be in jovial spirits as if nothing was wor-
rying him. Dreyfuss and Watkins would
not tell the business discussed in the In
dianapolis clubs office.
Mr.. Dreyfuss is the man that owned the
best club in the country last year 1t was
badly raided this fall. but he says he is not
worrying in the least over the prospects
for next season. Some of his best men will
be with American League clubs in 1903, but
he expects to have equally as strong play
ers to represent Pittsburg next season. He
acknowledges that some of his players
made ridiculous demands for high salaries.
and he would not grant them. Mr.. Drey-
fuss is one of the most enthusiastic men
in the country just at present over the sue
cess of the National League.
1.-The National League is stronger now
than it ever was in Its history" said the
genial owner of the Pittsburg club. There
are no factions in the big league now-every
club owner believes IN harmony and will
fight for the best interests Of the game.
There has been little newspaper talk
lately that John I. Rogers, OF Philadelphia,
has a grievance because New York signed
Deiehanty, of Washington. L don't believe
that Rogers feels in the least hurt over the
matter, and, furthermore. l believe that
he wishes the New York club success.
1.-The National League will be stronger
this year than last, and the coming season
will no doubt witness the crisis of the
American League Johnson's organization
has put up a bold front for some time. but
it will lose much of its prestige this winter
and next season. believe there will be no
American League after 1903.
There has been much talk Of the Ameri-
can entering Pittsburg in opposition to me
and the National League. l would be
pleased to welcome them when they come.
but they won't come. There is nothing do
ing in pittshurg for Johnson's organiza-
ton. You can bet that the American won
get into New York either, at least it won
have a club on the island"

FURS WERE NOT STOLEN.
But ThoughtfuIness of n Merchan
Policeman Prevented Damage.

The reported robbery of $500 worth of furs
from the store of James Brosnan, Market
and Illinois streets. turned out TO be a
thoughtful act of Merchant Policeman
Thomas Moore. who saved the furs from
becoming damaged Wednesday nigh: IA
passing the store he saw that the furs were
hanging a steam register. Moore,
thinking that the excessive heat might
damage the furs. entered the store and
placed them In another part OF the room.
He left his district yesterday morning be-
fore Mr.. Brosnan opened the store. When
Brosnan entered he quickly detected the
loss OF the furs. He at once informed the
police. Mr. Moore cleared UP the reported
robbery yesterday evening by appearing
at the store shortly before O'Clock and
informing Brosnan OF the furs.

PARDELL0 THROWS wITTMER.


Leo Pardello, New Yorks champion
catch-as-catch-can wrestler, threw Charles
Wittmer. of Cincinnati, the worlds cham
pion Graeco-Roman wrestler. in catch-as-
catch-can match at the Empire last night
in thirty-one minutes. The match was for
one fall and was an exciting contest. Witt
mer had the advantage in weight by nearly
twenty pounds, but in the style of wrestling
that governed the match he was not Par
dello's equal. Both men were in dangerous
positions several times. During the last
few minutes Pardello worked fast and by
securing a double nelson forced Wittmer
to the mat. Wittmer and Pardello easily
and body holds did not prove successful for
either man.
Sam Murbarger will try conclusions with
Pardello tonight Pardello agrees TO throw
Murbarger in twenty minutes or forfeit $50.

PROBABLY INCENDIARY.
Destruction of the CASTOR Methodist
Church by Fire.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CASTOR, Ind, Dec. 4.-The Methodist
Church burned at II o'clock last night. 1t
was built eight years ago at a cost of Sc, 900
and was insured for 5000. There had been
no fire about the church for three days,
which gives rise to the idea OF incendiary
origin. The belief is strengthened by the
fact that some weeks ago saloon man
assaulted Rev. George w. Martin, the pas
tor, on the street for his efforts against
violators of the liquor laws.
The fire, seems to have originated I'm the
coal sheds back of the church and was
communicated to the cornice of the build
ing, which was the only wooden part ex-
posed, the walls being of brick and the roof
of slate. The lock to the coal shed was
pried off and thrown down. and as no one
can be found who did this to get to the
fire the theory of incendiarism is again
strengthened. The shed was of wood and
built up to the church cornice.

NO GAS At DECATUR.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DECATUR, Ind, Dec. 4.-The almost
complete failure of natural gas here has
caused much public indignation. Notwith-
standing the fact that the local managers
of the Logansport and Wabash Valley Gas
Company have promised the people here
fair supply of fuel this winter. there is al
most no gas. The supposition that there
would be gas here this winter caused most
of the people to put off securing other fuel
for cold weather. At meeting of the City
Council last night a petition signed by
nearly two hundred consumers and bust
ness men was presented, asking that the
gas company be compelled to furnish gas
in sufficient quantities for domestic con-
sumption forfeit its franchise.
A Wiltshire, o., oil company, which mas
several good wells, has been granted
franchise to pipe this place and furnish
gas to consumers here.
