Seven stewards of the Jockey Club held
meeting yesterday afternoon at o'clock
in the Windsor arcade New York. and APP
pointed some of the track officials, re-
jected few applications for Jockeys and
trainers licenses, but they failed to allot
the racing dates to the various courses for
the season
The racing days, for which the turfmen
throughout the country are anxiously wait
ing the announcement, was not taken up
by the stewards.
The appointment of part of the track
officials was the event of most moment
during the meeting. w. s. vosburgh was
reappointed the Handicapped. Mars CASH
dy, starter; Fl. G. Crickmore, clerk of the
scales; J. L. Hall, paddock and patrol
judge; III. w. Holman. starting judge. and
w. III. Barretto, timer.
The two placing judges, Clarence Nc
Dowell and c. H. Pettingill who have act
ed in that capacity on the local tracks for
years, were not appointed. In former
years the judges were always named at the
time the other officials were voted lInon
The fact that Mcdowell and Pettingill were
not appointed started the old rumor that
these men would be replaced this season.
Joe Murphy, who Is now presiding stew
ard at the Hot Springs meeting, was men
toned as one of the men who might take
the place of one of the judges.

Delegates Discuss and Try to Fix

Tho annual meeting of the Eastern League
of Professional Base Ball Clubs began at

gates were in SESSION until late hour last
night. When President P. T. Powers called
the meeting to order the clubs were repre-
sc nted as follows:

President Powers was authorized to draw
up the usual schedule of games which has
been his duty for half a dozen years. The
business done last year by the different
clubs showed that the league had erlioyed
unusual prosperity the only losing club
being that of Montreal. While the owner Of
the Montreal club said he was willing to
continue, feeling sure that better times were
in store for him this season, there was some
talk of transferring the club to Richmond

Revelations by Chicago Police in AL
legged BIuebeard's Case.

Astounding facts concerning John Hoch,
the alleged modern Bluebeard, are being
uncovered by the police in Chicago, who,
however, have SO far failed to find a clue
which promises to lead to his capture. In
spector Shippy, who is conducting the hunt
for Hoch, declared:
81 know of at least sixteen wives of this
man. Twelve are living and four are dead.
1 also have information concerning the
deaths of other women which may lead
to most serious charges against him.
Hoch, the police assert, is an expert chem
ist He was once a druggist, though when
he married Amelia Fisher the last of his
wives, at Joliet on January IS. he described
himself as a machinist forty-six years old.
OF his abilities as chemist Inspector Ship
by said:
''It is my opinion that he employed some
chemical process that defied detection even
by the most skilled physicians"
Hoch, it is alleged, maintained at the
same time five furnished flats on thesouth
and west sides, in each of which was in
stalled wife. These flats had been fur
nished by installment houses, which subse-
ouently prosecuted Hoch for disposing of
mortgaged property. Hoch had innumera-
bile aliases.

INTERNATIONAL TENNIS.
American Association to Challenge 70,
Davis Trophy.

Tennis players will cross the ocean in an
endeavor to recapture the Dwight F. Davis
international challenge cup from the En-
glishmen this season. That this was the
American attitude was learned yesterday in
New York on the receipt of letters from the
committee of the United States National
Lawn Tennis Association, at Boston, to
Holcombe Ward, w. A. Larned, Malcolm
d. Whitman and Raymond D. Little. ask
ing if it was possible for them to make the
trip and play on the American team. Sim
liar letters were sent to William J. Clothier
of Philadelphia, Kreigh Collins of Chicago
and Beals c. Wright of Boston. The formal
challenge is not called for until March 1,
and action will not be taken until the an
nual meeting of the associa ton in New
York city early next month. The replies
of the men named will not be made public
until that meeting, although it can be said
now that Whitman will not give his time to
make the journey.
The players in question are thoroughly
representative of the top class of American
tennis and from their number the three or
four men to make UP the team will I'M
doubtedly be selected. The players have
been asked individually as to whether, if
trip to England, and, further, if they could
devote time early in the season to go south
for preliminary practice
Leaving Whitman out of consideration be-
cause he Will not go, the cnolce, on the evil
dence of last seasons play, ought to be for
a team of three, Ward. Larned and Wright,
and for team of four, Ward, Larned,
Wright and either Clothier or Collins.
Ward success of last year. culminat ting
with both the championship in singles and
doubles places him on the team without any
argument. Larned, still active in the sport,
also seems sure of place Wright, as
Wards partner in the doubles. ought to
have a place on account of the part he
played in winning the doubles title The
question as to whether it would be wise to
put Ward to the test in the singles brings
Clothier and Collins into considc ration. The
general impression is that If Larned can
get to form and show the needed endur-
ance he should be one of the two men for
the singles, and that Ward and Wright
should attend to the doubles part of the
competition.

GoPoN VISITED AMERICA.
he studied Freedom and Yankee In
situations in 1901.


Father George Gopon. who led the work
lngmen of st. Petersburg, visited this coun-
try in 1901 and toured New York, says a
dispatch from that city last night. in COM
pany with guide, and then went to
Massachusetts, a delegate to the fiftieth
anniversary celebration of the Young
Mems Christian Association.
He met Governor Crane at a reception
given to the delegates, and the Russian
priest was deeply impressed by the fact
that the governor shook hands with those
who were presented to him.
''The governors in Russia are different -
he remarked with sigh after the recep-
tion was over.
Those who met him in Boston describe
him as very energetic person. who did
not look more than forty years old, whereas
he is nearly SiXty-five His family name is
Agathon, but for political reasons he has
changed that to Gopon.
In both New York and in Boston the
priest took lively interest in police, edu-
catlonal and political methods. He visited
and examined every institution of a public
character that he could, and since his re-
turn to Russia he has based much of his
writings on what he observed here.
The man who has perhaps come into
closest contact with Father Gopon is Chris
tan Br1nton, an art critic of this city, who
has spent many years in Russia, and has
known Father Gopon for more than ten
years. He declares that from his earliest
youth Gopon has been a student of the
social and economic conditions surrounding
the poorer classes of the Russian empire.
He went to good schools in Poltava and
finally obtained his entrance at one of the
seminaries, where he studied for the priest
hood But by that time his strong and lib
eral- views had taken root. and his utter
ances were of such liberal character that
he was compelled to leave the seminary be-
fore graduation. By clever diplomacy, of
which he is master, by the way, he man
aged to obtain priestly orders. though the
Russian Church would never grant him a
pastorate."

a promising candidate for the team this sea-
son, as is also Carey, who has run the
100 in 10 1-5, and is good for any distance
up to quarter-mile. Strayer, from And
over Academy, is also running in very good
form, and seems to have plenty of speed
and strength. Baker, new man who has
never run before. promises remarkably
well. In addition to these, Bemus, H. b.
and w. C. Robinson, c. E. Sexton and
Clark. are running in good form, and it
looks as If the school would turn out as
