VAUGHAN RETURNS
 TO OLD CINCINNATI
IS GOING ON A HUNT FOR GOOD PLAYERS AND PROMISES TO
 RETURN WITH HIS BAG FULL ' OF BIG GAME.

Harry Vaughan is among the departed. As the shades of evening were falling yes- terday he packed his grip and started for friends far north. He carried with him the best wishes of'the fans and also a new determination to see that the Barons are in the top of the column this year.
 The maager and the occupant of the initial bag for Birmingham is going back to Cincinnati, the stamping ground of so many good ball players, and the hub from which a man may follow almost any spoke and pick up player of more or less ability.
 In other words the first baseman is to be turned into a hunter, and he will steal along the paths of the baseball forest and see if somewhere he cannot pull down some big game. He has his gun well loaded with coin of the realm and his powder is the authority vested in him to sign any man he thinks Is there with the goods.
 Before leaving he again stated that he intended returning to Birmingham In about three weeks and that before he ar rived he would have several good players added to his list for this season. He has several men scattered around the big cities near Cincinnati, whom he will be able to land by a little personal per suasion and he Is going after them

Col, Gaynor Talks.

Quebec, February s.-The news from London that the privy council had main tained the appeal of the American govern ment in the Gaynor-Greene case was re- ceived with surprise in certain quarters here, while in legal circles the decision was rather expected. The correspondent of the Associated Press tried to obtain an interview with Colonel Gaynor and Cap tain Greene at their residence, but the former speaking over the telephone stat ed he had nothing to say as their case was in the hands of their attorneys, whom they had not seen as yet.
 MT. Taschereau, K. C., counsel for the accused, received a cablegram early to- day informing him that the appeal had been maintained. but could not say what proceedings would be taken. as he did not know whether the judgment ordered his clients to be handed over to the American government or whether or not they were to be sent to Montreal.

 CHARGED AGAINST JIM
Hotel Hilman's Negro Whip Arrest ed-Came Near Running over
 Abornathy, it Is Said.

Jim Brown. the colored whip who holds the reins over the backs of the dashing pair which draws the Hotel Hillman coach to and from the union passenger station was arrested last night by Police man Bennett on a charge of reckless driving.
 The negro is certain to have ample pros ecution, for he came very near running over Judge H. B. Abernathy, justice of the peace in this beat, and but for for tune holding out a helping hand to the judge he might have been seriously in- jured As it was he escaped only by a second from under the horses feet. The trouble occurred at Nineteenth street and First avenue.
 bond of $50 was required of the negro which he made after he had been locked up The case will probably come up be- fore Judge Feagin today in the police court.

CURARE COULD BE
 PLACED ON RING
PHYSICIAN BELIEVES JOHANN HOCH USED THIS DEADLY POlS- ON IN DlsPosING OF HIS NUM- ERoUS WIVES.

Chicago, February s.-Curare, the most subtle and deadly poison known to modern science, Is believed by Dr. Joseph Spring CT, formerly coroner's physician. to have caused the death of Johann Hoch' s wives
 Dr. Springer is convinced that the fatal drug was probably administersd by means Of engagement or wedding rings.
 By turning the inner edge of the ring V said Dr. Springer today, Tor making it rough or sharp in any manner, applying the curare on the rough edge, and then slipping the ring on the finger so as to cause the slightest abrasion of the skin death would follow
 Ut would only be necessary for the slightest quantity of the poison to reach the blood One-sixtieth of a grain of curare is fatal"

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

Miuue Finn has thrown 1t into Atlanta good and hard. He has announced in no mild terms that he is not a friend of the "Firemen." and that they never helped him, so it's not up to him to hand them the gladthand of human Sind- ness
 Powell still has an interest in the team. I can prove it,tand will not help Powell. Neither can I help Atlanta, as Atlanta never helpedl me.
 "MIQUE FINN" It all came about as result of Gene De MontrevilTe's attempt to get a re- lease from Finn in Toledo, and his desire to manage the Atlanta aggregation. The above message was in reply to a tele- gram sent to MT. Finn.
 This attitude seems queer, when in the same addition of the Atlanta Journal, gi ing the above telegram, appears the following story of MT. Films seeming friendliness and desire to really hand Att lanta a nice player or two:
 Manager Powell reached Atlanta to- day from New Orleans with a live batch of news on tap. So far as the managerial situation is concerned affairs are still quiet, but so far as new athletes are concerned there is a run on the news market.
 
 Butler. Portland's winning pitcher last season. In addition, now have a deal on with Mike Finn for five men and they all look good to me. Several clubs are after these people, but Mique states that he will give me first crack at them. The men are Denninger, a southpaw; O'Hara, an outhelder; Flornoy and Fris- bee. outfielders; Kemmer and Hazleton, first basemen, and Johnny Burns, second baseman, in addition to these he has of fered me an option on Clark Catcher; Spooner first baseman; Martin, second baseman, and Butler. an outfielder. From this list l know I can get some good men. Finn states in his letter that Frank, Fisher and Dale Gear are after these men, but that he will give me first choice"
 ssChristy Mathewson has as much speed as any one ever peddled control that can't be phased and a shoestring drop" says Frank Bowerman the catcher "The day he got the strikeout record he was using speed that burned the glove. One of the officials put me wise that Christy had the record tied. and l went down to the box to tell him to get Jake Beck lev. who was the last man up.
 I guess I can do that all right said Christy, and I trotted back to try to get Jake to help in the play.
 " I'm not maxim records for anybody" said Beclxley.
 q signaled for a fast one, and before Jake had his bat swung up, l was hand ing it back Then another one just the same.
 Pretty fast grunts Jake Then signaled for one of those slow straight drops. So help me, it came over the plate high enough for strike and l had to get 1t on the pickup. Then I tapped Jake and said, 'Toddie back to your bench you're oSae.' "-Cleveland Press.

Pou of North Carallna, while not questioning the sincerity of the President said he was of a party that belonged body and soul to the trusts, and that any legislation which popular clamor forced would be the least hurtful to the railroads that repub- lican ingenuity could possibly evolve.
 Mir James of Kentucky accused the President of taking the platform of the democratic party that bears the bloody stain of Bryan's faithful feet" and hold ing 1t up to the people of the country. He cared not how much it was said the dem ocrats were following the President He knew that the soldiers of the United States followed the President gallantly at San Juan Hill. But" he added, mo more, sir, than the democracy will follow him when he charges the Harrimans, the Vanderbilts the Cassatts and the Hills in this country of wealth."
 Heflin Gets in a Word
 The democrats applauded Mir. Hehin, Alabama, when he said that William J. Bryan, the Daniel of democracy, has ad- vocated the present legislation before the people of the country"
 MT. Vreeland. New York, who voted against his party on the adoption of the rule to take up the rate question, op- posed the pending legislation on the ground that it was socialism and not re- publican doctrines. His utterance was vigorously controverted by Mir Kyle Ohio, who said that the republican party had heard and needed the cry of the people for rate legislation.
 In a characteristic speech MT. Gaines. Tennessee. who was the sole democrat who voted with the republicans on the adoption of the rule said he did so be- cause he found that the right on the question: even though they gritted their teeth after having been 'egged out by the President who had applied the cat-'o-nine tails to the backs.
 The following members spoke in favor of the rate legislation:
