TERMS LOVE
LETTERS
AS FAKES.

New York, Feb. 2O.-Frank II.
Potter determined after long
conference with Emanuel NJ. Friend, his
lawyer. to tell the public his story OF the
relations with Miss Ireno Stewart which
terminated in his taking criminal pro-
ceedings TO recover $1,000 from her.
"I am tired" he said to a reporter, "of
hearing and reading this woman's declar-
ations that I wanted TO marry her and
that I gave her the $1,000 bill to keep for
herself. There never was any intention Of
marrying or talk of it.
What were your relations with Miss
Stewart" was asked.
Purely friendly" Mr.. Potter replied:
'she came to my office trying 10 sell
stock. She seemed to be having hard
time and / took an interest i'm her and
thought / would help her. But my interest
in her was solely OF fatherly nature and
all ever did was to try TO assist one who
seemed TO be a worthy young woman
struggling TO make a living in New York.
There Was no love making or any sug-
gestion of love making between us. Every
suggestion OF that sort has come from
her-since these proceedings began"
What do you say of the one hundred
letters Miss Stewart declares she re-
ceived from you? Are they not full OF love
making and promises OF marriage and talk
OF the trip abroad she and you were TO
have made together?'
"I know nothing OF those letters" re-
piled Mr.. Potter earnestly. IF Miss Stew
art SAYS she has letters from Tie some one
must have forged them. I never wrote
them. She may show all the letters she
likes. They are not from me or written by
me-"
How did Miss Stewart happen TO get
possession OF your $1,000 bill?"

I happened to have n large sum of. money
i'm my possession at that time and thought
IL was dangerous TO carry 30 much with
me. When l asked her to return my 5000

safe keeping. but would get II for me
shortly.

BROWN VS.. DARTMOUTH.

Tonight the Brown university basketball
team will line up against the hardest
proposition OF the season and Will win
or lose the most coveted game of the
season.
The team which faces Brown Is in addi-
ton TO being very fast practically the
same as played last season and has had
vast amount OF experience which ought
TO count much tonight. Brown has now
the best team In several years and the
men all seem to be In prime condition.
50 that the contest Will be nothing at
all II not extremely interesting. The
men have improved I'm their shooting
since the first of the winter. and when
the regular five are on the floor the team
work II always exceptionally good
Since the two teams are about on n
par as 10 ability and experience. the con-
test tonight will probably go TO the side
giving evidence OF superior coolness at
critical times. Provided the Brown men
display the self-control they exercised
in the nerve-trying contest with Bristol
Y. NJ. G. A. Wednesday night, there can
be no doubt that Brown will win, but
should the Brunonians show the nervous
ness they did In games early in the sea =
son. the Hanover boys may prove to be
the fortunate ones.

gong saved him from defeat in the fourth
and sixth rounds.
Gardner was given the decision, and
Carter all but lost the fight by fouls I'm
the. sixth round. The hight was charac-
terized by repeated clinching. Carter re-
peatedly hugged his opponent. and would

the Brooklynite. however. and by re-
peated pounding OF Carter's stomach. had
the Kid at his mercy.
In the third Gardner smashed Carter's
face. bringing blood 10 the nose and clos
ing the right eye. In the same round
Carter closed Gardner's left eye.
In the fourth Carter was foored by a

An matters relating 10 the SUCCESS of
the Providence baseball season have been
hanging FIRE. ss II were. TIL tho members
Of che circuit committee could have time
10 visit here.
n was first thought that they would
come here directly from the conference
held IN California last week, but It is
now learned that tho COMMITTEES will not
como here till after the conference IN Co
lumbus. o., which will make their arrival
here the latter part OF next week
At the conference In California a peace
contract was made by the representatives
OF the Outlaw league" and the National
and American leagues and the Association
OF Minor Leagues. The terms OF this com
pact win occupy the attention OF the
conferences at Columbus.
II n probable that the peace compact
Will be accepted. but Eastern organiza-
tions win insist that the California league
shall respect contracts made prior 20 the
signing of men by clubs on the coast. Re-
servation rights up TO the present time,
A. Is beloved, VIII be waived In the cases
or men claimed by the California organi-
xation.
Pending the visit negotiations for
grounds and measures to obtain figures
for the erection OF a new grandstand and
bleaCners are In progress. III was partly
due TO the fact that these Negotiations had
not reached a satisfactory point that the
committee did not make the visit intendeu
this week
The Eastern league representatives
will return from Columbus Immediately
after that meeting and will come 10 Provi-
dence. BY then II Is expected that ne
gotiations now in progress relating 10
grounds and to building operations Will
be ready for final consideration.
IL Is assured now that Tom DAILY OF the
Cincinnati club will be the manager or tho
Providence club. The new hackers have
decided TO engage him, and the outlay
which they will make 10 secure him il
an indication of the liberal basis on which
they propose 10 conduct baseball In this
city. He demanded $1,000 as his salary
for the season, and the Cincinnati CLUB
demanded SlTyO for his release. 1t is said
that the Eastern league had offered
salary OF $500, and II is understood that
q compromise has been agreed upon.
DAILY Is 20 be given entire control. with

progress to secure certain players now
under control OF major league clubs There
ts already a good nucleus for n fast com
bination which, with few changes 10
produce batting strength, Is likely TO pro-
duco a very satisfactory combination.

constables, augmented by posse OF citi-
zens and bearing warrants for the arrest
OF six men connected with the pool room,
precipitated riot late yesterday which
resulted in the shooting OF six men. One
OF them, Lee Harlan, a druggist, may die,
Patrick Mccambridge, policeman, was
badly beaten.
Warrants had been sworn out before
Justice OF the Peace Isenmeyer and placed
In the hands OF three constables for the
arrest OF six men. charging them with be-
Ing connected with the pool room. After
the failure OF the Madison county grand
fury, which recently investigated the
pool room, 10 return indictments citizens
took the matter In hand with the inten-
ton of having the pool room closed.
Several days ago warrants were issued
for State Senator David Nelson OF Mis-
souri,. charging him with being pool
seller, and Victor Schuler charging him
with conducting the pool room and being
custodian OF the funds Schuler was ar
rested yesterday and gave bond OF $500

rants were sworn out yesterday and three
constables appeared at the pool room 10

Two policemen were within. and declar-
ed they had arrested The operators OF the
pool room and were guarding them Bet
ung was going on as usual at the time.
The constables were ordered to leave the
premises which they did after argument.
Later the constables organized a posse OF
armed citizens numbering about 80 per-
sons. returned TO the pool room and enter
ed. They were at once ordered out. and
the doors were ordered locked. The posse
demurred and words followed. One posse
man. IL Is stated. pointed a shotgun at
Policeman McCambridge, who fired a re-
volver into the ceiling.
Firing then became general, and the no
liceman was shot through the body. The
crowd In the pool room scattered, and
when the fusilade was over the constables
and posse had possession. The bookmak-
ers, however. last night asserted that the
pool room Will be open as usual Although
the pool room men are now constructively
under arrest. the police say they will not
permit the citizens TO interfere.

BLAZE AT
DEv0E PLANT

New York, Feb. 2o-A destructive and
obstinate fire broke out last night In the
extensive paint works OF the Il. w.

which occupied the centre OF the block
bounded by John, Plymouth and Gold
streets and Hudson avenue, Brooklyn.
The main structure is OF brick. five
stories in height, with various three and
two-story extensions running through
to Plymouth street. The remaining
portions OF the block facing Gold street
and Hudson avenue are occupied by
three-story brick and frame tenements.
The fire started from some unknown
cause I'm the centre OF the plant.
It was seen almost at the outset. owing
to the highly infammable character of
the contents OF the buildings, that the
paint works would be destroyed, and the
fremen bent their efforts toward prevent
ing the spread of the fire 10 adjacent
property
At s:45 O'Clock all the buildings OF the
plant had become n furnace. ana Fire
Chief Croker gave instructions to have
the tenements on Hudson avenue and
Gold street cleared. There was a strong
wind blowing from the southwest, and
the sparks from the fire were carried
I'm showers for distance OF half a
mile.
Tho buildings were stored with large
quantities OF oil and chemicals and an
explosion was momentarily expected. IL
was stated that over 1000 barrels OF linseed
oil were stored on the main floor and
cellar OF the plant.
Abeut midnight the walls OF the build
ing FELL and soon after the fire was under
control.
IL is believed that the loss will be be-
tween 100000 and $500 600. on which there
Is said TO be $4,000 insurance.
