the Portland team. Tuesday evening at

to :. This * The largest score that Fair
field has rolled up this year and will
probably lie the largest one which they
will roll up. and gives them the State
championship for scoring the most points

the score stood IL 10 Q. and it was hoped
by all lovers of the game that Portland
would wake up and redeem herself 50
that more interesting game would re-
suit: but they seemed unable to score
most of the time and had only scored five
points when time was called in the last
half. In seven minutes the score jumped
from 81 TO 1O9. so that ii can be seen that
Fairfield PLAYED some.
The game between Fairfield High school
and the Chapman Club was OF a very diff
ferrnt nature and both teams tried their
hardest to win. At the end of the first
halS the score between these terms wa
to 9. and people were kept guessing all
the time as to who would win. but the
Chapman Club proved little better OF
the Two and won hv the score of ~ to Is.
Hurd for the Chapman Club scored the
most points and r. Gregory for the High
school team. This was the rubber game,
as Fairfield had previously won one game
and Chapman one. so more interest nat
urally conferred around the games.

1t is stated in science that A. e.
Pratt, who lately returned to England
from a tWo-year expedition in the re-
mote interior Of British New Guinea.
chiefly along the Owen Stanley Range,
has sailed on a new scientific expedition,
which is expected to last for two and
half years. Mr.. Pratt, accompanied by
his two sons, proceeds directly to Ba-
tavia, where he will make final arrange
ments for his journey. After comforting
with the Dutch government officials he
will cross to Dobo, the chief town of the
Aru islands, a group unknown to Euro
peans. After making collections there
the expedition will cross to Dutch New
Guinea and will Immediately strike into
the interior, with the object of reaching
the highest possible point of the Charles
Louis range, snow region running east
and west of Dutch New Guinea never
before explored. Valuable geographical
results are expected, and a map will be
made, but the special work of the expe-
dition will be the collecting of natural
history specimens.

ROW SPLITS SYNAGOGUE.
Past President of Racine Congregation
Arrested on Assault Charge-Elec-
ton Dispute Serious.

Racine, Wis, May 1.-[Special AS
a result of a fight in the Jewish syna-
gogue in this city last night, Harry Gold
berg, agent of the Miller Brewing com
pany here, has been arrested on a charge
of assaulting Meyer Roftenberg. Gold
berg was president OF the congregation
and the fight started over the annual
election. The result may split the con-
gregatiOn in two.
Roftenberg charges that he is a cripple
and that Goldberg bounced on him Sc
verely. Goldberg replies that he is not
guilty and that Roftenberg started the
trouble. Goldberg, who is held for trial
next week under 5000 bonds, says he
had to escape through a window and
quickly take a horse and buggy outside
to prevent being beaten more. He also
charges that Moritz SLIDER and Moritz
Fox assaulted him.
1t is said Goldberg objected to Rotten
berg voting at the election. Cuspidors
and chairs were freely used.

MAE C. WOOD SUES.
She Wants $4,000 of Senator Platt
and Other National Fig
uIeS.

Omaha, Neb., May 1.--NIae G.. Wood,
the young woman who recently won no.
tOriety in connection with love affair
with and threatened breach of promise
suit against Senator Thomas c.. Platt of
New York, has Instituted in the district
court IN Omaha a sensational suit for
damages against eX-Postmaster General
Robert j. Wynne, now consul general to
London; William Loeb, secretary to
Ter, consul to AiX-la-Chapelle, Germany.
Conspiracy Is Charged.
Miss Wood alleges that the three de-
PENDANTS conspired TO obtain possession
Of and actually did obtain possession of
certain love letters written to her by
Senator Platt, together with the manu-
script Of a book, to be made up largely
of those letters, which she was preparing
for publication under the title OF The
Love Letters Of d Boss"
She alleges that unfair means were
employed to obtain possession of the let
tiers and the manuscript, and she asks
that she be given judgment for $50, 900
against Wynne, Loeb and Miller.
Miss Wood is a member of the Omaha
bar. having practiced law before she
went to Washington to take clerkship
IN the p0stoffice department. She acts as
her own attorney in this case.
Did Not Sue Platt.
"As [ set up in my petition, I never
brought suit for breach of promise
against Senator Plat, and consequently
| could not have compromised a suit
against him on payment to me of 500
600, as the pubic prints have said
die" she says. Il was practically
forced to sign papers to that effect and
to sign receipts for $4,000, but l never
saw any of the money. After my pa
pers were taken from me | was handed
my travelling expenses and a pass to
Buffalo. The pass | still hold for use
as evidence. [ was fearful that the
senator might, if [ should sue him. beat
me out by agreeing to fulfill his prom
Use to wed me, and if there is anything
which would be more humiliating
In her petition Miss Wood relates that
she had been engaged to marry Senator
Platt and had received attentions from
him which could only be excused on the
ground of such engagement; that be-
cause of the conduct Of said sutton the
said engagement was about to be con-
celed April 16, 1903.
Will Begin Other Suits.
The petition asserts that J. Martin
Miller, who was really a detective" OBJ
tanned her manuscript through repre-
senting that he was a publisher and
would get out her book.
She says that she will also begin sew
eral libel suits against newspapers and
W aShingtOn people.

VIII Spread to Suburbs.
Thirty-fve teamsters, employed by the
Anthracite and BituminOuS Coal COM
pany, struck today. The hauling for the
company was at once turned over to the
Employers Teaming association. Re
ports were received that the express COM
panies were doing considerable trans
ferring in suburban places. This move
1t was said by strikers would be shocked
by spreading the strike to the suburbs.
Against Sympathetic Strikes.
President Shea of the teamsters and
President Dold Of the Chicago Fedora
ton issued the following statement:
ITO the trades unionistS of Chicago:
The transfers organization has the stu
ton well in hand and we earnestly re-
quest that no sympathetic strike be
called or any member leave his employ
ment until such time as they are asked
to do so by the committee having the
matter in charge. We also urge upon all
members Of organized labor to preserve
peace and commit no act that can be in
terpreted by the courts as a violation of
the law or of either injunction issued.

house whose team companies had sold
out to the new teaming company.
Government Is Aiding.
The federal government is helping
Chicago department stores deliver small
parcels in a way that is beyond the in
preference of the transfers in the pre-
vailing strike. Thousands of small
packages are being delivered by mail
through the Z. S. railway postal cars.
Col. Leroy t. Steward, superintendent
OF the free delivery system of the Chi
cago postoffice, says that there has been
a perceptible increase in this business
from the day the delivery wagons of the
department stores were stopped. By the
street car service a package purchased
in the morning may be delivered by mail
at the door of the purchaser, provided
the package is not too heavy. Thousands
OF purchases are light enough 60 meet
the limit OF postal regulations.
Victory for Strikers.
Practically the first victory of the
strikers came today from Fuller & Full
ler's wholesale drug house. Manager Pc
ters announced that his firm had en-
ployed twenty-five union teamsters and
would do its hauling with their aid.
