senator Getty's Speech.

Senator Getty opened the meeting by
reading an extract from a speech de-
livered by Governor Hoch at Cherry
vale, in which the governor said that
he had been Informed by reputable citi-
zens of Kansas City, Kan, that it was
unsafe for a decent woman to walk on
the streets or to be seen on a street car
on Sunday" Senator Getty then an
swered this statement and denounced it
as false and malicious. He was follow
ed by DR.. Glasscock, who said that his
wife and family had no trouble in Kan
sas City, Kan. and that the city was
cleaner than the ordinary city of its
size. During the course of his speech
he said:
THE previous governor was as far
above the present as night is above
day"
After Dr. Glasscoek had finished a
committee, composed of r. L. Marsh
man. J. J. Maxwell and F. D. Hutch
ings, Senator Getty's partner, was ap-
pointed to prepare resolutions which
Senator Getty said should be 'digni-
fed, respectful, relentless and to the
point" A recess was taken and several
Of the ministers present crowded about
Dr.. GlasscOck and said that they were
surprised at his speech. DR.. GlasscOck
answered them by saying:
1T was the most viIlifying statement
I ever heard made and I don't propose
to stand for it

Kansas City, Kan, Oct. 24.-Resolu-
tons denouncing Governor Hoch and
the speech he made at Cherryvale, Kan,
last Tuesday were adopted at a mass
meeting of citizens in this city last
night. Fully 500 people were crowded
into the common pleas court room when
meeting to order, and from time until
the adjournment, intense excitement
and frequent outbursts prevailed.
During the progress of the stormy
meeting a half dozen men spoke of the
outrage" which they claimed was COM
mftted against the city by Governor
Hoch when. in the midst of his speech
at CherryvaIe, he said that it was un-
safe for a decent woman to appear on
the streets in Kansas City, Kan. A del
egation of ministers was also given a
hearing. They spoke strongly in de-
Tense of the governor and the reforms
he is attempting to bring about in Kan
sas City, Kan. Their remarks were
largely discredited by the crowd and
for time it appeared that they would
not be allowed to talk. Kisses and cat
calls and threats of putting them out
were frequently heard, and it was with
difficulty that Chairman Getty secured
anything like order.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
as infamous and dastardly this at
tempt to besmirch the good name of
our city" referring more especially to
persons who gave information to the
governor that conditions had been dis
graceful on Sunday. The sjoihtkeepers''
wildly aDplauded the speeches of Sen
ator Getty and Dr. Glasscock, Kissed
and hoOted at speakers who argued
against the adoption Of the resolutions.
and threatened to throw a Methodist
minister out of the meeting.

NEW CASTLE WILL
PLAY THE X-BRANDYWINE

to play a,game here on July 20, NAM
ing the X-Brandywine as the club he
preferred to meet. Mr. Murphy made
this selection on account Of the fact
that the X-Brandywine team is the
only one that has defeated New Castle.
. The Manager of the X-Brandywine
was then approached by DR.. Morgan
and he, too, agreed to game. The
announcement that the teams would
meet here has caused much enthusiasm
and fans are all divided as to the re-
suit of the contest.
Daniel Mccormick has given the use
Of South Side Park free and leading
merchants have agreed to give prizes
to players making the best individual
plays. It Is also probable that the
services of a band will also be obtained.
In view Of the interest displayed in
the coming contest IL is probable that
several thousand people will occupy the
grand stand and bleachers to witness
the game. Mr. Murphy promises to
bring over from two hundred to three
hundred people from New Castle, while
the X-Brandywine management prom
ises a much Nlarger number. The
visitors will have Newlove and
Countiss as their battery while the
local team has not announced theirs
as yet. Senior, of the old Chester team,
will probably umpire the game.
Evening journal., 1905-07-21

At South Side Park on Saturday
afternoon. July' 90. there will be one
of the hottest" games of baseball that
has been seen there this season, the
contesting teams to be the New Castle
club and the X-Brandywine.
During the season the New Castle
club has played fifteen games and has
lost but one, its victor being the
X-Brandywine, who won out by a score
of to1. Every game that New Castle
however has played has been on its
own grounds and this has led to the
suggestion that the club was afraid to
play away from home. The players,
however. deny this and say they have
been willing to play away from home
any day except Saturdays. as they
are supported by New Castle people
almost solely and that the club is
bound to give them a game on satur-
day.
Believing that If the club would con-
sent to come to Wilmington to play
ball that large attendance would
follow. DR.. James II. Morgan conceived
the idea of arranging a game for it
with some local club to be played for
the benefit Of the Wilmington Free
Zoo Association. With this end IN
view the physician communicated with
John P. Murphy, manager of the New
Castle team, and the latter consented
