all American League teams must scale
down their list Of players to Is men.
This does not apply to travelling clubs.
Teams on the road may extend this date
until they return to their native heath,
which in Washington's case is June 1. At
! present Washington's roster is made up
sof seventeen players, two more than al
lowed.
The all-absorbing question now Is,
tFWho will go?" Some say it will be
Townsend and DeMontreviIle, others
make 1t Lee and Gene, but the fine
game put up by the colonel yesterday
may send his stock soaring and a longer
trial may be accorded him.
Strange to say. all who discuss this
topic are unanimous in the belief that
DeMontrevil1e is slated to go. Gene
and Moran were at the Georgetown game
yesterday afternoon, both limping pain
fully, and apparently In for long siege
of it. Gene says he will leave for Cleve-
land today or tomorrow to join the
team
Possibly he is uneasy as the time of
limitation draws near. He is anxious
to find out where he is at" It would
be suicidal for Lotus to attempt to put
Gene back in the game in his present
shape, and in any event, with Robinson
back in the game, the inffeld, as it has
been played since the last Philadelphia
game. is the fastest Washington has
presented this season.

DEAD BODY In A CAB
SAD END OF YOUNG WIFE WHO
FIGURED IN A SENSATIONAL
ELOPEMENT.

Chicago, Dec. 7.-Frederick Ganka,
whose elopement three years ago with
Miss Rosa A. Bemis, heiress and niece
of Henry V. Bemis, president of the
Bemis-Richelieu Importing company
and former proprietor of the Hotel
Richelieu, drove from the Saratoga
hotel to the home of Mrs. Kathryn
Woodruff, 41S washington boulevard,
the grandmother of Mrs. Kanka, with
the dead body Of his wife.
Ganka at the time of his marriage
was a shoe clerk for Marshall, Field &
Co. Recently he has been employed
in Streeter's shoe store. When 15 old
Miss Bemis eloped with Ganka to ST.
Joseph, Mich. Ganka himself was
only 20 years old, and the affair
caused stir among Mrs. Ganka's rel
atives.
Last July Ganka and his wife be-
came separated and Mrs. Ganka filed
a bill for divorce, alleging cruelty. Sat
urday evening, Mrs. Ganka called her
husband from his place of employment
on the pretext that their baby was
i'll. Z Both went to Ganka's home at
354 Jackson boulevard and while he
was changing his clothes it is thought
that Mrs. Ganka purchased poison at
a drug store.
Later they went to the theater and
then to the Saratoga hotel. Still later
Mrs. Ganka left the parlor which her
husband had engaged and went to the
| lavatory. Alarmed by her failure to
return, Ganka went to seek his wife
He found her lying on the floor, suf-
fering agonies from the poison which
she had swallowed.
| A physician was summoned, but he
/ arrived too late to save Mrs. Ganka's
4 life. She died about o'clock in the
i morning.

large sums Of money made personally
to him by foreign visitors as private
donations or as collections for Peters
pence, he refused to turn over to the
regular administration Of the church,
because he considered them safer in
his own custody, and he found hid
ing places for all these offerings in the
hooks and corners of his own apart
ment.
Thus is explained how after his
death nearly s2,000,000 in money and
securities were found hidden in the
many cupboards Of his private rooms.
At the same time the pope appears
to have. lent considerable sums of
money to his relatives without taking
any security or leaving any memo
randum behind. OF those to whom he
is known to have lent money giving
any security, several Of whom, when
recently brought to task by Cardinal
Del Val, had to admit their inability
to return the money.
Among them are several cardinals
promoted by Pope Leo, who at the
time of their promotions did not pos
sess the money necessary for the high
fees exacted by the curia.

The BLACK HAND SOCIETY
CREATES REIGN OF TERROR
AMONG WEALTHY ITALIANS
EXTORTS MONEY UNDER
THREATS OF DEATH.

New York, Dec. Lately members
of the society known as the Black
Hand have created a reign Of terror
among those Italians who are known
to have money. Owing to the SINH
larity Of it's methods the police be-
lieve that La Mana Negra," or BLACK
Hand" is an adjunct of the Malta.
Forty letters in the hands of the po-
lice department written by agents of
the "B1ack Hand society demand
blackmail from as many Italian
residents of the city.
The first case the police were called
upon to handle was that of Gae-
tano Rigglo, a grocer, who was threat
ened with death unless he complied
with the demands of the society. They
asked for $500. The best laid plans
of the department went for naught.
for the blackmailers have been too
adroit to be caught.
While the Malta is said to owe it's
origin to a political cause and is now
an instrument of vengeance, the
BLACK Hand" makes no such claims
and is plainly and simply a blackmail
organization, using threats as the
lever to work it's victims.

PRINCESS SHOOTS RIVAL
SERIOUSLY WOUNDS ACTRESS
WHOM SHE FOUND IN PRINCES
APARTMENTS.

Vienna, Dec. Princess Elizabeth
Marie, who was married only a year
ago to Prince Otto of Windisch-Graetz
and is the granddaughter on her
fathers side of the emperor of Aus
tria, and on her mothers side of the
king of the Belgans, only 20 years
old, royal parsonage who renounced
her rights to the throne of Austria in
order to marry as her heart dictated,
has had narrow escape from the
stigma of a murderess.
1t appears that Prince Otto had
been secretly paying assiduous atten-
ton to the actress, a slender, beauti-
full girl, at whose feet were half the
gilded youth of Prague.
The princess surprised the guilty
pair in the princes apartments and
shot the actress in the breast. K
Medical aid was summoned, and 1t
was found that the actress had a
serious but not necessarily mortal
wound.
Strenuous efforts were made to Keep
the affair secret, but the facts came
out thru the actress crazed servants
and were soon common property in
the city.
