Heads of Government Departments
Give Notice.

Washington, Aug. s.-Heads of gov
ernment departments let it be known
that their Officials are not to take an
active part in local or state politics
where their activity might prove COM
promising to the administration. Pres
ident Roosevelt has declined consist
emily to be drawn into faetional trou-

sirable that federal officials should be
active In such contests. Recently, it
was intimated to H. Smith Woolley,

and TO Robert Grimmon. United States
marshal of the. same state. that they
had better not participate in the re-
publican state convention, as their APP

To other officials, too. it has been in
ttimated that they should avoid such
activity in politics as might be offens-
i've to other good republicans.

ed to have been stolen. announced that

there made a thorough search in her
Newport residence. She continued the
search, and in the latter part Of July
reported her loss to the detective

of Newport. After a thorough investi-
cation, which Indicated that no robbery
had been committed, it was suggested
to her that the jewels were probably
in her safe in this city.
Acting on the suggestion Mrs. Goelet
came here Monday, and on opening the
safe found the Jewels where she had
placed them.

ported as having been stolen, had been
found in her safe in New York city.
He said that the detectives whom Mrs.
Goelet had engaged to investigate the
supposed robbery decided several days
lago that the jewels had not been stol-
en-, but probably had been mislaid. The
detectives accordingly prevailed upon
her to make journey to New York
and examine her effects closely. The
result was, Chief Richards says. that
Mrs Goelet found her missing property
in her safe in that city.

TUCEEY'S CASE TABLED.
TO COME UP At ANNUAL EASE
BALL MEETING IN OCTOBER.
New Rule for Forfeiture of Games
Heavy Fine Must be Paid by ofrend-
ing Team-Matter of Uinpires Not
Considered-The Meeting Was Long
and the Discussion Hot.

An important meeting of the manag-
ers of the baseball teams of the Con-
necticut league was held at the Hotel
.Garde last evening. The meeting set
tied several questions that have lately
come up, but the matter of unlpires,
with its various and diverse aspects,
was not considered. The managers
were in session over three hours, about
two of which were spent in considera-
tion of the Tuckey matter. The definite
settlement Of this question will deter
mine once and for all whether one of
the new rules of the league shall be
enforced or not. The other matter was
the right of an umpire to declare a
game forfeited.
The first question was brought UP in
the following manner: Something over
two weeks ago Manager Danaher, of
1.-THE New Haven team moved at meet
ing of the league managers that no
player regularly assigned to any team
| in the league should be allowed to play

compensation for such playing, and
that any player breaking this rule
should be fined $100. This motion was
carried and the managers We're ordered
| to notify their players of the rule. Two
or three days after this motion was
passed Pitcher Tuckey, of the local
Itean, it IS claimed pitched for the
Rockville team and received $50 for his
! services.
The Hartford manager moved last
evening that Tuckey be fined $1O0 and
be suspended from the league until the
sIfine should be paid. This was seconded
Iby the Bridgeport manager. It was
claimed in support Of this by Mr. Dam
aher that he told Captain Canavan to
.lnotify his team Of the rule Immediately.
In defense it was claimed that Captain
ICanavan was unable to notifyshis team,
Ibut, knowing that Tuckey was to play
with the Rockvilles the next day, told
lAhearn to warn Tuckey not to play.
IThis, it was claimed, Aflearn was una
BILE to do.
After q long discussion of the matter
it was voted to table the matter and te
have 1t brought up at the annual meet
/ ing Of the managers, October q. wher
it will be definitely settled.
The only other matter considered las
evening was the protest Of the Hoiyoke
lteam to the forfeiture of the game OF
. Monday to Bridgeport by the umpire
After considering the matter at length
it was unanimously voted not to sustain
1.-THE protest. In order that such an oc
currence might not be repeated the fol
lowing motion was proposed:
I Before a forfeiture can be declared
i 1.-THE home manager, or, in his absence

! lconserlt to the forfeiture; and in even
i Iof the manager or captain consentinl

and will settle the many questions tina
have arisen as to the forfeiture 9
