CALIFORNIA; WILD BuRRos
Old Desert Transfers Plan to Cap
ture Them.

Large droves of wild burros have
been discovered in the Slate range To-
cality, in California, says the Los An
geles Times. These burros had their
beginning from those which OCCASION
ally escaped from prospecting parties
or whose owners persisted in the desert.
The animals collected about the Slate
range and through long years have &c.
cumulated until now there are hun
dreds of them.
Ed Baker, an old desert teamster,
visited the section a few days ago and
in the vicinity Of Lone Willow, one OF
the few watering places, got sight of
several droyes of these wild burros.
In one drove he counted fifty-five, in
another thirty and in another twenty.
five. He thinks there were at least 200
burros in sight when he entered the lit
tie valley.
The creatures We're quietly browsing
or resting here and there. but on sight
Of Baker the nearest droyes were off up
the valley. AS they swept along they
We're joined by other droves, until the
noise of their hoofs pounding on the
earth as they few along filed the val
ley with continuous roar, which died
away as the droves disappeared over
the hills
Baker is organizing party to under
take the capture of these burTos. They
live In an Isolated section where there
Is little water but among the canyons
Of the Slate range there is an abun,
dance Of feed
1t is proposed to surround the valley
where they generally feed after build
ing corral at one end, and gradually
chase tlem into the Enclosure, much
after the tactics used in rabbit drive.
Baker believes that there are over
1000 burros in the vicinity.

team at Mortified cancelling the game
which had been arranged to be played
at the Intercity grounds between Man

his return to New York he will investi-
gate as to what became Of the despatch
as the statement that Norwich received
no word from Manhattan about the
game being cancelled comes as a great

team to leave New York Wednesday as
this is examination time for the Man

Bitter Insurance Controversy
at an End.
DETAILS OF Prick REPORT
Sweeping and Serious Charges Against
Equitable Management-Den and
Observation-Disclosures on
Wall Street.

New York, June 5.--Overshadowing
in interest all the other sensational de-
velopments in the affairs of the Equit-
able Life Assurance society, attendant
on the rejection by the directors Fri
day and the publication Saturday of the
report OF the Prick committee, comes
an announcement that the controversy
between President James w. Alexander
and Vice President James Hazen Hyde
is at an end, and that these two officers
have concluded defensive and offensive
alliance. The basis of this agreement
is reported to be that they should in
future devote themselves TO the inter-
ests Of life insurance, and keep all Wall
street entanglements out OF the affairs
of the Equitable Mr.. Alexander and
Mr.. Hyde were in conference Saturday
with certain of their friends and adyis-
ers for more than two hours. 1t was
made evident that there is scant proba-
bility that the resolution OF the direc-
tors Friday to create the office Of a
chairman OF the board with plenary
power over ali departments and affairs
of the society, viii be put into effect.
This Is indicated by the marked disin
clination of several members Of the
committee of seven, appointed to nomi-
nate chairman, to serve on the COM
mittee. u. @. Mills, who was named
as one of the committee, said Saturday
that he had decided not to serve and
that none of his colleagues had so far
consented to do so. After the confer
ence between Mr.. Alexander and Mr..
Hyde it was reported that Robert T..
Lincoln had been agreed upon by them
as the man best qualified to assume
the chairmaHship of the board of di-
rectors.
The report made to the Equitable
Life Assurance society directors by the
Frick investigating committee was made
public at New York Saturday. The
report consists of 3s printed pages. Its
principal points follow closely the out
line forecasted several days ago, and
in closing the committee declared: "Ex-
ccssive salaries, excessive commissions,
excessive expenses and superhuous off
GERS should not be tolerated. Invest
ments should be carefully made and all
the useful formal precautions employed
to insure the location OF the moral re-
sponsibility of the officers who are
charged with the duty of making them.
The committee, having pursued its in
yestigation of the present management
of the society sufficiently far to con-
vince it that the personnel Of the man
agement should be radically changed
and tho nafhods of eondl1etiuo tho hlIsi-
ness Of the society brought back to
sound legal and ethical lines, begs to
be relieved from further duty"

WHY THEY ARE CHAMPIONS.
Secretary James F. Bennett Answers
Northfield Man.

Editor Times In your Issue Of Sat
uuday notice letter Of inquiry from
Mortified signed by Football Enthrsi-
asst" wishing to know why the Barre
Rangers r. G. claims the championship
of Vermont. The enquirer may be a
foot ball enthusiast, but he certainly
has not followed foot ball events in
the state, or he would not ask any such
question.
The Barre Rangers L. G. was organ
lied in April 1908 and last year played
for the championship of Vermont with
the Bonaccord Il. @. and won two out
of three games and Football Enthusiast
apparently had no objection to the Barre
Rangers #. c. claiming the championship
at that time Again, the Barre Rangers
advertised this spring in this paper ask
ing competing teams to notify me of
their intention Of entering for the Scam
PM cup. Up to the present time no
competing teams have been heard from.
not even from the Mortified +. G., and
the Barre Rangers +. c., until they are
defeated in matches held for the cup,

TALK OF ENDING THE STRIKE.
President Shea Is Arrested Charged
With Criminal Libel.

Chicago, june 5.--Cornelius z. Shea,
president of the international brother
hood of teamsters, was arrested late
Saturday afternoon at Chicago, on a
charge of criminal libel, Heferred by
Robert j. Thorne, assistant general man
ager Of Montgomery Ward u Co. Shea
was arrested on capias issued by Judge
S. II. Bethca of the United States dis
trict court, following the filing of a suit
by Thorne, who, in addition to making
the charge of criminal libel, asks for
damages of $4,000 from Shea. The suit
is based on interviews given out by
President Shea to the newspapers, and
on statements he is said to have made
to the effect that he had been offered
$4,000 by Thorne to call strike
against Sears, Roebuck & Co., which is
a large house in the same line of business
as Montgomery Ward & Co. Mr.. Thorne
denies all of the alleged statements. Pre-
sident Shea was found at his hotel, and
at once accompanied deputy marshal
to the Office of United States Marshal
Ames, and from there he was taken to
the courtroom of Judge Bethea, where
he gave bonds for his appearance when
wanted in the sum of $1,000.
Despite the fact that there was more
rioting Saturday than at any time for
week, there We're more hopeful signs of
the end of the strike. Nothing tangible
had resulted, but the fact that nego-
tiations had been reopened was regarded
as suspicious. A committee of five re-
presenting the strikers was in session
late Saturday afternoon considering the
terms upon which they would settle the
