MAY USE
OLD NATIONAL PARK
Matter in Hands of District
Commissioners.

It was given out semi-oficiaIly this
morning that the Senators would in ali
probability play on the old National
League grounds, at Seventh Street and
Florida Avenue northwest, next season,
and as man. thereafter as the public
would support the game. The hitch is
with the District Commissioners. The
rental Of the lot or National League in
reference does not enter into the move.
Freedman's Hospital, located within
a few rods Of the old ball park. is the
only complainant. While the Nationals
occupied the grounds such large and en-
thusiastic crowds attended the games
that the officials Of the hospital com
planned to the municipal authorities
about the noise. They said their pa
tients almost turned pale with fright"
from the din aroused over an excep-
tionalIy clever play or long hit
The Nationals then had a lease on The
park, and the District was receiving the
proper taxes, so the Commissioners could
not well interfere. Things. however, have
changed. The Commissioners have more
power than before and the baseball mag
mates who desire to give exhibitions
must get a permit. Should the Commits
sioners overlook the objections on the
part of the surgeons and nurses at the
coiored hospital and grant the necessary
permit, it is almost certain that Ameri-
can League games will be played there
instead Of on the grounds in the extreme
northeastern part of the city.
The directors of the local club have
been assured that they will be given tbs
option. The matter was practically set
tied last September. when Thomas Loft
tus, President Postal. Wilton J. Lam
bert. the attorney for the Washington
Baseball Company, visited the grounds
and talked the matter over with the
owner The rent was a trife steep. but
after little talk it WAS adjusted TO suit
both parties. Now the matter rests with
the Commissioners.
A prominent director Of the team said
this morning that the Senators would
Ctili do business, and that the manage
ment had lines out for several good
piayers.
No; won't give their names" said
this official We've had experience in
that kind Of business. Several good
players were snatched from US last sea-
son because We were too hasty in giving
out their names. Other people heard We
were after them and offered more mon
ey, and there you are
It's a lead pipe cinch that Washing
ton VIII have one OF the fastest aggre-
cations In the American League next
season. and that we viii have an up-to-
date park, large enough to accommodate
the crowds
Another director is Of the opinion that
the peace conference in Cincinnati will
do the game a world of good. He says
that one thing to lie done is the arrange
mentl of games between teams of the
rival leagues in the cities where both
are represented. Throughout the sea
son, as well as at the close. games will
be played TO determine the champion
ship.

JAPAN'S
NATIONAL PASTIHE
Athletes Only Big Things in
the Country.
BORN TO THE PROFESSION
Proud Boast of the Country's Cham
Pions-Hold High Position in So
ciety-Immense Specimens.

Wrestling, the popular athletic pastime
of many countries, is nowhere more pop
ular than it is in Japan. where it is re-
garded as the national sport the same as
baseball in this country. Possessed Of
wonderful strength, the Japanese ath-
letes are fine specimens of physical man
hood. They follow the sport from child
hood. and there are few in the country
Of the Mikado who cannot handle them
selves properly on the mat.
In the championship tournaments
which are held regularly, only the giants
have a chance to carry off the honors.
AS they are much stronger 1t would be
folly for the little fellows to attempt to
do anything.
Big Things in Japan.
These athletes are the only big things
in Japan, everything else being small.
The most famous ones are mountains of
strength. But they are usually so active
and 1.-THE that when in action there is no
suggestion Of weight or clumsiness.
Just what they must look like can be
imagined when one learns that the pres
ent champion Of the empire is about
seven feet in height, and weighs 400
pounds. His name is Yokodzumn, and he
is only thirty years old.
The pride Of the japanese is that they
are horn to their profession. They say
their gigantic bodies are a gift from
heaven. The position Of wrestlers in ia
pan has always been high; skilled
strength is looked upon with much re-
spect.
Wore Two Swords.
In the feudaI period those above a GER
tain rank were privileged to wear two
swords.
At the championship tournaments only
the best wrestIers of the Empire gather
Sometimes they number 200. and there is
as much enthusiasm shown while
match is in progress as at a big football
game in this country.
The wrestlers are divided into east and
west, and the matches contain a repre-
sentative from each side The contests
are generally held in a special building,
called a sumOgoya. It is constructed Of
upright legs of bamboo logs, supporting
q framework Of bamboo, the pots and
crossing poles tied with straw ropes. The
sides ana roofs are covered with coarse
straw mating.

HARRISON MONUMENT
SITE is SELECTED.
mends Grass Plot on Ohio Street
Side OF Federal Building.

The subcommittee of the Harrison Me-
mortal Association, in charge of the selec-
ton OF a site for the Harrison monument,
has recommended to Senator Fairbanks
president of the association, that the me-
mortal be placed in the large grass plot on
the Ohio-street side of the new federal
building The committee which selected the
site is composed OF John b. Elam John W.
Kern, II. j. Milligan, Charles w. Smith
and Mortimer lowering.
Mr.. Elan, who sent the recommendations
of the committee yesterday TO Senator Fair
banks, said 1.-The opinion of all the men,
bers Of the committee is that the grass plot
on the OhiO-street side of the building is
the best site that has been suggested 1t
is 900 feet long by fifty feet wide. The
stairways leading to the government build
ing are at each corner, so that the grass
plot will run the full length of the distance
between the approaches TO the stairways.
The monument will be erected, in all prob
ability. in the center of the grass plot.
1.-The selection of the site is matter of
the greatest Importance. as it is impossible
TO plan the kind of a memorial we desire
until that question has been disposed of If
the site we have selected is approved IT
will mean that the monument will be low
and massive. 1t would never do to erect
a tall shaft which would be overshadowed
by the federal building. My letter to Sem
ator Fairbanks was 10 acquaint him with
the ideas of the committee and to get his
own suggestions in the matter. We would
like TO have the authorities guarantee the
building grounds. Secretary Shaw is will
ing, l understand, but We would like TO
have Congress approve the plan by resolu-
ton"

SAY SMOKE PROBLEM
HAS BEEN SOLVED.
Several indianapolis Business Men
Have Organized the Coaleo
Fuel Company.

Some Indianapolis business men believe
they have solved the smoke problem and
have organized a company with a view to
manufacturing coal The company is called
the indianapolis Coaleo Fuel Company. The
company was Incorporated yesterday with a
capital stock of $4,000 The directors are
George Fulwell, Dudley H. Jackson. John
r. Allen. oliver M. Allen and George w.
Ladley. John r. Allen is president of the
company, George Fulwell is vice president
and Dudley III. Jackson is secretary and
treasurer.
Coaleo is a new invention and is made
from the refuse coal of the mines. 1t is
said TO be equal to the best of Pittsburg
coal and save when first lighted ii makes
no smoke. Messrs. Fulwell and jackson
expect to do away with the smoke from the
Denison Hotel furnaces as soon as they
can begin the manufacture of coaleo. A
plant will be erected in this city within the
next ninety days for the manufacture of
this fuel. Ii can be used in any way that
coal can be used and when burned in the
CRATE makes a fire that resembles natural
gas burning. The fuel comes in nuggets
about the size of an egg. Within a few
days a carload Of II will be brought here to
be used for exhibition purposes. The plant
which the Indianapolis company will build
will manufacture at the start It's tons day.

NEW TURN IN THE
CASE OF LYNCHEHAUN.
Washington Dispatch Says He II to
He Held Under immigration
Exclusion Laws.

According to dispatch from Washington,
James Lynchehaun, the Irish refugee,
may find himself involved in proceedings
instituted under the immigration exclusion
laws, so anxious is Great Britain to have
him taken back to the Marlboro prison.
The dispatch reads:
THE British government has taken steps
to secure the person of Lynchehaun. the
lrlShman, who accused of murderous
assault upon his landlady in Ireland, but
whom, after an extradition proceeding In
Indianapolis, was freed from arrest. The
new proceeding has been instituted under
the immigration exclusion laws of the
United States. 1t is alleged that Lynche-
haun was convict when he landed in this
country and therefore under the exclusion
laws, he may be deported and returned to
the country from whence he came This of
course would place him within the grasp
of the British authorizes. The application
is now pending before the bureau of immi-
grafton"
Ferdinand Winter, one of Lynchehaun's
attorneys in the extradition proceedings,
was asked last night il he thought there
was any truth in the report. II have heard
nothing of any such action" replied Mr.
Winter, "and / do not believe there is
any truth in 1t. If Great Britain is contem-
plating such proceedings, We know nothing
of ii here.

THREE USELESS RUNS.


A hot steam pipe in coal bin in the base
ment of the Newton Claypool building at
the corner of Pennsylvania and Ohio streets
caused a small blaze last night, but the
prompt action of the fire department
checked the flames and held the loss down
to about $50.
An automatic sprinkler in the plant of the
Nichols-Krull Company, confectioners. at
1l2-116 South Pennsylvania street, operated
last night accidentally. and when the fire
department arrived on the scene they found
the candy factory fast becoming flooded by
the stream of water from the fire apparatus
in the building. There was no fire and when
they turned off the water their work was
done. The loss from water will amount to
few dollars.
A bunch of burning rags in closet at
1868 DRAPER street caused the fire depart
ment a run last night. but when they got
TO the scene OF the supposed fire they found
the rags burning in the street, where they
had been thrown by the occupant of the
house after he had turned in the fire alarm

UNION OF ORDERS CERTAIN
MAI. MEGREw AND CAPT. ENGLISH
HOLD FIRST CONFERENCE.
Tentative Agreement Reached With
out Difficulty by the Commanders
in-Chief of Young Veterans.

The first step in the consolidation of the
National Association OF Spanish War Vet
Grams and the Spanish American War Vet
Grams National Association was taken
yesterday afternoon at conference held
by Maj. Harold c. Megrew. COMMANDMENT
chief of the former organization. and Capt
William E. English, commander-in-chief Of
the latter.
The executives met in Major Megrew's
office and talked over a plan of amalga-
nation for two hours. Captain English
left the city last night, to be gone ten days
or two weeks, and he was anxious that a
tentative agreement be reached at once.
He called at Major Megrew's Office by ap-
pointment, and found the major in the
same frame of mind AS the result OF the
conference the two great orders Of younger
veterans will be made one inside of few
months. probably by May 1.
So many details will have to be consid-
cred in consolidating the associations that
it was impossible for the commanders-in-
chief to do more than discuss the propo-
sition in the most general way. Both
agreed that consolidation should be brought
about as soon as possible. and one great
military order formed that will have even
more than double the prestige and dignity
that either of the two have now. Each
manifested a willingness to make conces-
sions, so there will be no bitches along that
line, it may be Asserted positively
Amalgamation of the associations will be
made much easier because of the fact that
so many of the members of the one are
members of the other, not only in this
city and State, but elsewhere. The objects
of the associations are practically the same,
and there is no insuperable difficulty in
the constitutions or bylaws.
On Captain Englishs return to the city
the matter will be taken up again and
brought to a successful conclusion. both
commanders-in-chief believe.

Referee Swfgart Sustained I'm Order
ing Sale of Property of ID. +. Alfred
& Co., of Swayzee.
ANOTHER FINDING REVERSED
JUDGE ANDERSON RULES AS To LE-
GAL NESTING OF TITLE.
Decision Given Against Mccormick
vester Company Of America.

Two important rulings were made yester-
day in the Federal Court by Judge Ander-
son I'm bankruptcy cases. The first ruling
was made in the bankruptcy case of b. +.
Alfred e. Son, dealers in bUggies at Sway
zee. The firm became insolvent a short
time ago and filed petition in bankruptcy
in the Federal Court.
Sometime before it's declared insolvency
the Zimmerman Manufacturing Company,
of Auburn. delivered to the firm four car
riages and one windmill upon written
contract which provided. among other
things, that the title of the goods so
shipped should remain In the vendor, the
Zimmerman Manufacturing Company. I'M
til the goods were paid for by the Swayzee
firm. When the firm went into bankruptcy
the trustee of the estate took charge of
the carriages and windmill as part of the
assets of the firm in order to sell them to
pay a dividend to the other creditors. The
Zimmerman Manufacturing Company filed
a petition with the referee, Frank Swigart,
of Logansport, claiming title TO the prop
erty and asking that it be turned over to it.
THE REFEREES FINDING.
The referee held that where a vendor at
tempts to hold title to property sold to a
retailer to be sold again secret title Is
thereby created, which is fraud upon the
other creditors, and the trustee was author
lied to sell the property.
The Zimmerman Manufacturing Company
then filed a petition for a review of the
referees finding by Judge Anderson and
the court sustained the finding.
The other ruling was made in the matter
of Ellis L. Bozeworth and Ora u. Justice.
dealers in buggies and farming implements
at Cutler This firm filed it's schedules in
bankruptcy on Sept. Is and asked to be de-
clared bankrupts. The Mccormick division
of the International Harvester Company of
America entered into a contract with the
firm of Bozeworth & Justice whereby the
latter firm was made the agent of the har-
vester company. When this firm went into
bankruptcy the trustees of the estate took
possession of two farming machines and the
harvester company petitioned Referee Swi-
CART for the return Of the machines, claim
ing title
COURT REvERSES FINDING.
Referee Swigart held in this case that the
harvester company sold the property to the
bankrupts upon a conditional sale and that
such sale was fraud upon the creditors OF
the bankrupts, and the petitioners ought
not TO recover the machines.
This matter was also presented to Judge
Anderson by a petition for review and the
finding of the referee reversed. The
court held that the title to the property
was in the petitioner and the trustee was
ordered to deliver possession.
In the first case, where goods are sold tt
a retailer TO be sold again, the title mus
vest in order to protect the other creditor:
of the firm, but in the second case only al
agency had been created, the firm standing
in the relation of principal and agent, anC
no title could vest.
