gineer Walker Held Up.

we're In his exactions in certain particu-
lars An order was recently issued trans

appeal was made to the President to have

that the order for his transfer be held
up until he had been advised of all the
facts In the case. II was claimed that
the lieutenant only did what he deemed
to be his duty.
Those heard today on behalf of the
company were: John Doughtey and w.
p. Anderson. president and vice pres
ident respectively of the company, and
the company's consulting engineer. Lieu

ris, who also was attached to the Char

BETTING TROUBLE
BECOMES SERIOUS
St. Louis Sheriff Makes An
other Arrest
RING ENTIRELY DESERTED
Governor Folk May Send Troops If
Betting Is Continued at Delmar.
Indiana Also Deals With
Same Question.

st. Louis, June 26.-For the first time
since the anti-betting law went into eff
feet on June IL the betting ring at Del
mar track was deserted today by the
members of the Central Turf assoeia-
ton who are behind the plan to make
bets on the races in manner not con-
trary to the law and after the first race
persons who wished to back their judg-
ment financially on the merits of the
several horses were forced to make i'm
promptu wagers with other spectators at
the race course.
Sheriff Herpel of st. Louis county, ae-
companed by several deputies took pos
session of the betting ring just before
the horses went to the post in the first
race, but only one arrest was made, Char
lie Celia, a member of the Central asso-
citation was was later held under $1,000
bond, to answer a charge of violating
the anti-betting law.
1t is stated more arrests would have
been made today but at the time the
deputy sherffs closed in on the betting
ring all of the members of the Cen
trail association, with the exception of
Celia, was watching the horses parade
before going to the post and hearing
of the action of the county authorities
they did not return to the ring.
The officials of the Delmar Jockey
club announced that the action of the
county officials will not interfere with the
race programme for tomorrow but it is
doubtful If an attempt will be made by
the members of the Central association
to make wagers.

Same Trouble in Indiana.

Indianapolis, Ind. June 26-On receipt
of a letter from Mayor Hoffman in
forming him that the city authorities had
no power to stop pool selling at the state
fair grounds during the races, during
this and next week. Governor Hanley
today sent letter to Edward Sourb.er
sheriff of this county, in which he says:
II believe the honorable mayor is mis-
taken as to his authority in the prem
Uses and have so written him, but he
Will perhaps adhere to his Interpretation
of the law. I therefore. respectfully re-
quest and direct that you take such ac-
ton as may be necessary to enforce the
law upon the statute at the fair grounds
The sheriff has replied verbally with
the statement that he would do what he
thought necessary to have the laws obey
ed. Under tie Indiana law there is a
question as to whether the governor has
any authority to direct the sheriff under
the circumstances.

PRESIDENT ISSUES PARDoNs.
One Man Convicted of Assault and
Another of Horse Stealing.

Washington, June 26.-The President has
pardoned Philip Scott, full blood Creek
Indian, convicted in the Indian Territory
of assault, and sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. There is serious doubt of
the Indians guilt and in addition it is
said he is very i'll with tuberculosis.
The President has also pardoned Law
renee Givens and William Paddock, con-
victed of horse stealing in the Indian
Territory. In both cases the sentences
are regarded as excessive. Both men
have already served about two and one
half years.

R. H Baugh, president; Harry Vaughan,
manager. and associates yesterday closed
a deal for the twenty-five shares of stock
of the Birmingham Baseball assertion
owned by f. G. Sheppard.
The shares brought $500. or $500 each.
They were $50 shares and brought six
times their face value. The deal takes
Mr.. Sheppard, who has been identified
with the game for a long time, entirly
out of baseball
Mr. Baugh made the official announce
ment of the sale yesterday, but rumors
of ii have been current in baseball cir
cles for several days. In speaking of the
sale he said:
Baugh's Statement.
ut Is true that Manager Vaughan and
| have acquired a considerable block of
the stock of the Birmingham Baseball
association. The remainder of the stock
owned by Mr. Sheppard has been dis
tributed in small lots among quite
number of baseball enthusiasts. The sale
of the stock was brought about solely
on account of Mr. Sheppard's desire to ne
free from active participation in the man.
agement and the deal has no significance
other than to accentuate the continuance
of the present management in control.
Mr. Sheppard will tender his resignation
as secretary and treasurer, but his sue
cessor has not yet been selected"
Mr.. Sheppard's reason for selling was
that he had so much other business on
hand that he could not give his time 10
baseball. The worry attached to his po-
sition was considerable and he thought
it best for himself to get out of baseball.
He has been connected with the game
for years in Birmingham, and was secre-
tary of the association and largest indi-
vidual stakeholder.

were in a bad condition owing to the rain,
and both Manager Vaughan and Manager
Fisher agreed that 1t were best not to
play "a game.
The double-header this afternoon Will
commence at 2:3O o'clock.
