TO FORM BASEBALL TRUST
President PuIIiam, Of National League
70 Control Players.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 2.-lias Harry Pull
lam the young president of the Ma
tionai Baseball League, outwitted the
experienced and why Ban johnson and
carried out one of the biggest coups
in the history OF the diamond game?
Has President Pulliam struck q blow
that will result In the eventual death
of the American Lacquer
Reports from the East give news of
what may prove to be the most sensa-
tional move in the chessboard of base
bah politics since Ban johnson brought
the American League to the foreground
and forced the older organization into
am acceptance OF peace terms
The move Is nothing less than an at
tempt to corner the baseball market
by the cooperative action of the Ma
tional Baseball League and the Ma
tlonal Association of Baseball Clubs. In
other words, 1t is Pulliam's plan to
form trust in baseball players and
close all sources OF supply to the
American League. This he can, II Is
said, effectively do with the aid OF
Pat. Powers the minor league magnate
who controls practically every player
IN America not in the two big organi-
cations.
That behind President Pulliam's ao-
ton in allowing Davis to play with the
Giants in clear violation of the peace
conference agreement is a daring plan
to stamp out the American League. is
now beyond question.

NEW JERSEY MAN
Gets CONTRACT
Herman Will Print Money
Order Blanks for the
Government
OPPOSED BY MASTER PRINTERS

Washington, July 2. - Postmaster
General Payne has awarded the con-
tract for printing the money order
blanks of the government to Paul Her
man, of Rutherford, N. j. Mr.. Herman
was the lowest of IA bidders, and the
award Of the contract, which involves
the payment of between 100000 and
$S5O,000 during the next fiscal year,
will effect a saving of nearly $4,000
in the four years contract Herman's
bid was opposed by the present con-
tractor, the Wynkoop-Hallenbeck-
Crawford Company, of New York, and
by the United Typothetae of America.
Superintendent Metcalf. of the money
order bureau, was dismissed some
days ago on the charge of indiscretion
in seeking the withdrawal as a bidder
in favor of the present contractor.
At a final hearing before the post
master general Herman furnished an
affidavit that he had been employed
by the present contractors for nearly
10 years and had no idea of compet-
ing with them when he left their en-
ploy which. he said, was before the
specifications were taken up. He
made search for work, and says that
he concluded he had been practically
blacklisted in the trade, and there
upon decided to start out for himself
on a financial backing proffered by an
intimate friend He submitted other
evidence to show that he was not a
straw bidder, as alleged and swore
that he has not, directly or indirectly,
assigned any interest whatever in
the contract lie testified that the
firm which objected to his securing
the contract offered to re-employ him,
after the bids had been opened, at an
Increased salary provided he would
withdraw his bid, which offer he re-
jected. Mr.. Hallenbeck, Herman said,
offered him if he would withdraw his
bid $50 a week and a large part of
% per cent. Of the net profits of his
business, which he would guarantee
to be at least $4,000 a year, in addition
to his salary.
The award to Herman was based
on an opinion by Assistant Attorney
General Robb. holding that Herman's
bid was made In good faith. that he
has substantially complied with every
condition prescribed in the specihca'
tions, and that to disregard the bid
upon the objections raised would be
against both reason and sound public
policy. Mr.. Robb held that Herman's
bid is in regular form, and that Her
man is exceptionally qualified. so far
as mechanical ability is concerned. tc
execute the contract" After citing
Herman's financial responsibility Mr.
Robb said the contention that the law
contemplates that bidder "at the
time of the bid shall be competent
with a reasonable plant and capital
to perform the contract" would stinC
competition and defeat the spirit and
letter of the law

BREATHES THROUGH TUBE
AND MAY RECOVER
Surgeons Cut Mans Throat
and Remove Larynx Az
iected by Cancer


Philadelphia, july Although the
larynx was removed from the throat
OF Henry A. Weston, and he breathes
through one delicate tube and takes
nourishment through another, he is
alive and there Is a bare chance that
he may get well.
He was operated on at the Hahne-
mann Hospital by Drs. l.. L. Northrop
and G. A. Van Lennep, and the sur
geons are hopeful that he will re-
cover.
For years Weston had suffered with
cancer in his throat. II was gradually
growing larger, and at times he could
hardly breathe and he was slowly
strangling to death. He went to a
number of hospitals, but they could af-
ford him no relief, and told him that
death was not far off. They would not
operate upon him for fear that the
shock would kill him or that he would
bleed to death They told hlm that
there were only three or four such
cases in the history Of surgery that
were successfully operated upon.
