Umpire Daicey Cleared of Charges
Made by Coburn Institute.

Brunswick, Me, June Sat a meet
ing of the board of managers of the
BOWdon Interscholastic Baseball
League at Brunswick, Monday after
noon, Edward Little was found not
guilty of conspiring with Umpire Daicey
to learn Coburn's battery signals at the
Edward Little Coburn game played in
Auburn, May 18th.
The vote was three to two not to
sustain Coburns protest.
The meeting was held in Memorial
hall. 1t was called to order at 2 p. NJ.
by f. L. Allen of Coburn Classical In
stitute. who is president of the league.
President Allen refused to state his
grounds for the protest when the meet
ing was first opened. He called on
Capt Whirley of the Edward Little
Whitley said he would take his oath
that the umpire did not give away Co
burns battery signals May Is.
Dennison of Coburn said that he had
been given a point to watch the UNI
pire for trickery, and then President
Allen stated his charges.
He alleged that Umpire Daicey
shrugged his shoulders when the CO.
burns catcher signalled for an out
shoot and made a motion with his
hand when an inshoot was wanted.
Coburn was sure that her charge was
true. Edward Little was sure that it
was not.
President Allen said: II can prove
positively that Umpire Daicey gave
away our signals"
Captain Whirley said: 81 can prove pos
tively that Umpire Daicey did not give
away Coburn'S signals"
Coburn wanted it understood that they
did not charge Edward Little with trick
cry. Thcy placed all the blame on Daiccy.
Manager Bradford of Leavitt voted
with the manager of Coburn to sustain
ton High school. and Manager Hichborn
of ConY, voted with Manager Kecne not
to sustain it.
The next thing taken up was the CO.
burn-L. II. S. game of which there has
been considerable discussion in the papers
of late. The case was whether or not
Cobuln HAD won from l.. H. S. in the 18th
inning Of thinning game. Coburn claim
cd that the score which decided the game
was made when batter knocked the ball
so that it hit the umpire when man
was ON third and two men out. Lewiston
claimed that the man had no right to his
base. This was the way the umpire de-
cided the matter and called the game on
account of darkness at the nth innings.
II was decided to leave tho matter in the
hands of a committee Of Bowdoin players
consisting of Merrill, Blanchard, l.. l..
BLY, and James A. Clark
The LcXt thing taken up by the com
mittcc was the r. l.. II. S.-LcaVitt game
which broke up in the fifth innings by the

A $1,000 CHECK
Leads to Arrest of Union
Leader at New York.
Alleged to Have Been Paid Him for
End 'ng Of a Strike.
District Attorney Jerome Has the Mat
ter in Hand.

New York, June S.-DiS.rict Attorney
Jerome announced, today, that he had
| in his possession check made out to
| the order of Samuel Parks business
agent of the Houeesmiths and Bridge
mems Union, for $4,000. He further an
| nounced that President T. Poulson of
the Hecla Ion Works had stated to
him that the check was given to Parks
to settle 4 strike in the iron works in
Maya 1902. Poulson told Mr.. Jerome
he had seen Parks several times while
the Hecla strike was on, and, finally,
according to Poulson, he notified Parks
he would be willing to give $4,000 if
he would call off the strike. The check
was given and the strike ended.
1t is now said the building lockout
will continue until the first of next
month, no matter what action is taken
by the United Board of Building
Trades as to the expulsion of the ma
terial drivers. This is because the
Housesmiths and Bridgemens' Union
on whom the whole action now turns,
will meet, June 20, to elect four walk
ing delegates to succeed the present
board, one of whom is Samuel Parks.
Opposition to Mr.. Parks was developed
in the union but he is standing his
ground and will make a fight.
President Poulson of the Hecla Iron
Works, and r. A. McCord. son of the
president of the American Bridge Co.,
both sWore to affidaVitS before Justice
Mayer in which they accused Samuel
II. Parks of eXtortion. Justice Mayer
thereupon issued a warrant for Parks
arrest, charging him with eXtOrtion
Parks was arrested shortly after the
warrant was placed in the hands of the
police He was arraigned before Justice
Mayer in the court of special sessions and
held in $1,000 bail for hearing, tomOr-
row.
When District Attorney Jerome was
seen later he said:
AN hour and q half after the informa-
ton of the discovery of the check had
been made public the Hccla Iron Works
received a message from the Aetna Fire
Insurance Co.. in which the insurance
company said it had cancelled the policy
of $4,000 which the works held. This in
my mind. is extremely significant in view
of the fact that there had been many
fires of late in the property Of the works
and the last one is said to have been of
incendiary origin
Frank buchanan, president of the In
tcrnational Structural Iron Workers, said
today, that Parks had shown the checl;
at one of the meetings. saying it had
been given him by the Hecla people for
waiting time, meaning that it was to go
toward paying the men for the money
they had lost while they were on strike
a large number of men received money
from the check and the union felt so good
about j. that they made Parks Il present
of n handsome diamond ring.
