MAY HAVE BEEN TUMOR.
Operation Performed in Boston Upon
General Wood.

dispatch from Boston last night says:
1t was announced for the first time today
at St Margaret's Hospital that the opera
ton performed on Gen. Leonard Wood on
July was to remove an abnormal growth
of bono or bony tumor from the skull to
remedy an affection technically known as
exosteosis 1t was also admitted that the
Gen. and Mrs. Wood had left the institu-
ton. although their present address Is
withheld They are expected in a few days.
however, to visit the old homestead OF
Mrs. Caroline Wood. the generals mother,
at Pocasset, on Cape Cod.
In August the family expects to spend
some time on Naushon Island. and 1t Is
probable that Gen. Wood Will have suf-
ficiently recovered his health to join his
post in the Philippines a little later.
Within twenty-four hours after his arrf-
val in Boston Gen. Wood called an eminent
surgeon, whose name Is withheld by the
family, and the operation was decided
upon. 1t was not intended that Gen.
Wood should leave the hospital so soon,
but he had made such progress that the
physicians In attendance decided 1t best
to get him away from the heat OF the
city. which was seriously retarding his
progress.
report on Gen. Woods condition was
forwarded by his physician to the war
Department yesterday. In substance II
stated his condition to be such as would
enable his return to the Philippines next
month. as originally scheduled.

MANN DEFENDS HIMSELF.
Says There Was No Fraud in Election
to State Senator,

A dispatch from Richmond Va. last night
governor, is out in lengthy card denying
emphatically the charge that he was fraud
uently elected to the state senate In 1899.
On that occasion Judge Mann was OPP
posed by E. P. Buford. who was credited
with only 1S votes In Nottoway county. and
Buford filed notice of contest. On the night
OF the election the clerks office was broken
into and the duplicate returns and pollbooks
were stolen. The original returns had al
ready been sent to Richmond. At that time
it was thought that the books had been
stolen In order to forestall an investigation.
which might have made public the method
which had prevailed in some black counties,
where elections at times were little more
than farce.
This occurrence has been brought to light
by certain Of the state papers which are
fighting Judge Mann. In his letter the Judge
recapitulates the events in question and
says:
1.-THE original returns Of the election COM
missicners had been sent to Richmond, so
that, for the purpose OF investigation, every
fact could have been established as well
after as before the pollbooks were taken.
Certainly nothing in my favor was accom-
plfshed by the taking OF the pollbooks,
Fortunately for me. the original returns Of
the commissioners were In Richmond, other
wise the taking Of the papers would have
been very much against my interest, as
would have had to establish my seat by le-
gal proceedings"
After stating that he had then offered to
resign at once II II could be shown by any
reliable evidence, in a contest or otherwise.
that there was any fraud in his favor In the
election or that the papers had been taken
by anyone friendly to him. Judge Mann
says:
Il wish to state. with all the emphasis
possible that did not know then and do
not know now who took those papers from
the clerks office, and l have not the most
remote knowledge OF why they were taken"

DEMONSTRATED THEIR WORTH.
Good Work of American Tennis Players
in England,

The only interest in the third days play
In the Dwight F. Davis International Ten
nj, Cup competition was in regard to the
possibility of the Americans gaining the
maximum points against the Australasians
which they did. both VIM. A. Larned and
Beals c. Wright winning their matches, as
cabled to yesterdays Star. Larned beat
Norman f. Brookes. the Australian cham
piOn, three sets to love, and Wright &C
counted for A. +. Widing by two sets to
love. The Australasian players were not
anxious to play. the Americans had al
ready wor three points out of five, proving
their right to meet the holders of the cup,
but the rules made 1t necessary for the
tea ms to play out the three days pro-
gram. Wright and Wilding arranged to
play the best two out of three sets instead
of the best three out of five and Wright
won.
The first set of the match between
Larned and Brookes was one more of en-
durance than display of brilliant tennis.
except for the regularity with which each
won his service. The American won. The
second set fell easily to Larned Brookes
showing signs of fatigue. Larned took
matters easily in the third set and won
without effort.
The American team has improved wonder
fully since arriving in England and has es-
tablished beyond doubt it's right to chal-
1erge for the cup.
The Americans have not selected the team
played at Wimbledon July q. July % and
July "A, but 1t is probable that Ward and
Wright will play In the doubles and Cloth
Ter and Larned in the singles.
After the match the American team will
return direct to the United States to take
part in the championships there. They are
trying to persuade the Doherty brothers to
accompany them.

DEPEW COMING HOME
Saws He Will Then Talk of Equitable
Affairs

cablepram from Paris last night says:
Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew Will sail for
New York Saturday next.
The senator says he interrupts his va
cation and ceases to take a cure for rheu-
matism he needs that he may go home ana
meet souareIy the charges that have been
made against him in the course OF the In
vestigatio into the Equitable Life Assur-
.ance Society's affairs and in connection
with the Depew Land improvement Com
pany's loan from the society.
Mr.. Depew declares he will prove con-
clusiyely that he has been subjected to
blame he does not deserve, and VOWS that
he will tell all he knows about dealings In
and with the Equitable Society with which
he has been concerned.
The senator's first idea was not to make
any further reply to the accusations against
him until he should arrive in New York
in the autumn; but. he says. his friends
advised that he take up and refute the
charges now, at once.
He vigorously denies the reports circu-
lated here that he has resigned the chair
mansap OF the New York Central railroad.
II have resigned nothing but the retainer
l received from the Equitable and do not
intend to make any other designations" he
said emphatically today.
Worry is plainly telling on Mr.. Depew
he preserves his jaunty manner but his
face shows he has suffered keenly.

TO PLAY NORFOLK COLLEGE.
Manager Moore Says That the Law
Reporters Team Will Go.

Mr. NJ W. Moore. jr., manager OF the
Law Reporter Printing Companys base
ball team, says regarding an item in yes
terday's Star furnished by the National
Athletic Club:
ION behalf of the Law Reporter Printing
Companys base ball club. respectfully ask
space to reply to the following, which ap-
peared in your sporting columns yester-
day:
The Nationals met the strong Law Re-
porter team Saturday to settle contro-
versy as to which team should play the
Norfolk College boys, and again the Ma
tionals came out on top. the score being
to 0. AS a result of that game
the Nationals go to Norfolk August TO- II
and u and should have three great games
with the college boys of that city
There has never been any question as
to what Washington team will play at
Norfolk as written agreement in my pos
session, of date July Z, and signed by w NJ
lege base ball team, closes the contract for
two games on August and ) with the
Law Reporter Printing Company and the
arrangement will be carried out on sched-
ule time.
with the season barely half over, and In
view OF the fuctuating fortunes of base
ball. 1t seems rather previous conclusion
to claim that Saturdays game decided the
superiority of the National Athletic Club
over the Law Reporter Printing Company
once and for all time. The friends of the
latter team, however, do not take a serious
view of such a bold assertion, attributing
the premature verdict to the enthusiasm of
an overzealous press representative rather
than to the unbiased judgment of fandom.
The question Of which Is the best base
ball club, however, should be settled on the
diamond, and my apology for breaking
Into print Is to correct the misleading
statement in regard to the question of the
series of games with the Norfolk Club"
