away from them. do not desire to
be captious, but we have stopped player
after player claimed by other clubs, but
not one of the men who have been taken
away from us has ever been stopped. al
though you have informed me that the
board had ordered them stopped, or or
dered them returned to us. The South
ern Association has lived up to the agree
ment in every way, but 1t does seem to
me that what is good for the goose Is
sauce for the gander," and If players
playing in the Southern Association are
to be stopped without our having any
knowledge of the reason for stopping
them 1t does seem to me that the play
ers upon whom we have claims should
be stopped when we have proved our
claims.
I stopped Player Hill the other day
from playing with the Nashville team,
but, as I wrote you before, If ever a club
had an absolute claim upon the services
of player the Nashville club is entitled
to the services of Player Hill. l inquired
into the case very closely. | know that
I was impartial and that my findings
were based upon facts, and Hill Is just
as much the property of the Nashville
club as is Player Watt the property of
the Little Rock club, and he has never
played anywhere else in his life but
In Little Rock. Nevertheless, upon your
order, 1 stopped Hill from playing. 1
stopped Player Pease from playing with
the Atlanta club, when, according to the
rulings of the board, the Baton Rouge
club had no claim upon him, because he
had never signed a contract for the sea-
son of 1902. See the opinion In the cases
of weighing and valdois.
] notice that President Lucas refuses
70 stop Players Hulseman and Durrett
and Taylor, and claims that there was no
fraud in the transaction. / have told you,
and told you repeatedly, that George
Reed came to this country and got these
players to jump to Portland, and then
to his club. If necessary I can send you
a copy of the hotel register in Memphis,
showing where the players were all regis
tered at the same hotel there with George
Reed Notwithstanding all this, these
players are still playing with the pacific
National league. AS 1 wrote you the
other day we are willing to purchase
peace at almost any price. but 1t does
seem that we are getting the worst of 1t
at every turn of the wheel. AS stated be-
fore. do not desire to be captious, but,
with all these facts staring me in the
face. 1 cannot sit idly by and see our
players taken from us without question,
both ways 1t does seem that In the
course of human events we might acct
IDENTIFY be right in some case. Very
truly yours.

Volume of Transactions Limited But
Gilt Edge Securities Favored.

London, June IS. - Business on the
Stock Exchange last week was decidedly
better than at any time during the last
three months The volume of transact
lions was limited but the gilt-edged Sc
curities were favored, which gave
strength to the other departments.
The dealings in Americans were with
out interest, though indications point to
increased confidence and an inclination
to buy these securities at the present
prices as investments.

KLINE VS. ABRAMS
JURY BRINGS M UNANIMOUS
 vEolcT FOR ABRAMS
This Makes Fourth Charge. Likewise Dismissed.-A Free for All Scrap Ends the Case
Ends the Case
Special to Review.)

Douglas. July 30,-The justice court was occupied Wednesday, in hearing the fourth case of Kline vs. Abrams. Abram is charged with em- bezzling some spoons, knives and forks from Kline's store. This is the fourth case that has been brought. Tn the three former trials held in the same court. before juries of business men of Douglas. all were dismissed and the juries acquitted Abrams on the first ballot. From all the ey- idence introduced in the last case, it seems that it is simply vicious prose cution on the part of Kline to get Til of the boy. whom Kline owes money for wages and won't settle with him. h the evidence adduced today in the court room il was shown that Kline accepted a bill from the Commercial restaurant where he went good for the boys board, and as part paymen. Kline allowed s6 for spoons. knives and forks which were delivered to the owners. Milligan & Co. who sold out to Jim Norris in the BeischeI build ing. The case has attracted a great deal of attention insDouglas and the courtroom was packed to suffocation to hear the arguments of the attoI- neys. The territory is not represent ed in the case. French & Novel; are looking after Kline's interests. while N. p. McNeill is attorney for the de- fendant.
 Mir. J. E. Abrams. prominent mer- chant Of Silver City. father of the boy whom Kline is charging with vari- ous offenses. arrived Tuesday.
 The jury in the above case rem dered a verdict of not guilty by a vote of 12 to on the first ballot and recommended tha- all costs be as- sessed against W. Kline. After the jury filed out Kline made a remark 10 the father of young Abrams and quick as a flash she senior Abrams pulled of his coat and gave Kline the worst drubbing he ever received in his life. The verdict of the jury met the approval of all the people of Douglas and it is hoped that such cases as this will be stopped in the futCre or thrown out of court.
 After the fight between Kline and Abrams senior Mir. Abrams was placed under arrest A dozen of the largest business men offered to 20 Abrams bond for any amount Mir. Abrams thanked them and pulled out a well hlled waller with several hGSdred dos' lars and paid his fine to the judge.
