NO QUARREL HERE
Thornton Must Make Peace With
Management Of De.

CUT LOOSE FROM LOCAL CLUB
Hank Walters is Under Contract of
Rock Island, and No One
Else.

The bloomington baseball dope fiend
has lot more rot in one of the Chi
-ago papers of yesterday morning rela-
i've TO the Thornton-Walters deal be
tween Rock Island and Decatur, the
substance of which is that there is a
hitch in the proceedings and that there
IS a quarrel on between Thornton and
the Rock Island management as TO sal
AIRY.
The fact of the matter is that there
is no controversy involving either De
catur or Thornton as far as Rock Island
s concerned Thornton, as had been
heretofore stated. has been released to
Decatur outright. The management of
the team in that city has his papers
and the control of him. and he must ar
range his terms accordingly. AS to
Walters. he must recognize Rock ISL
ands claim to him if he expects to
play ball the coming season.
There will be no tears shed here if
he never shows up, but if he wants to
play elsewhere. he must consult Presi-
dent Sexton about it. After his mouth
ings relative to this city il is simply a
matter Of business now, and not of any
particular desire 10 see him in a Rock
Island uniform He must respect the
laws of baseball. regardless of his Opin-
on of Rock Island, and there will be no
love lost if he can arrange with Presi-
lent Sexton 10 20 elsewhere. But the
Thornton incident is closed. lie goes

Another groundless statement that
appears in one of the Chicago papers

Rock Island traded Cheek some months
ago, has left the Three-Eye league for
the Ohio-Indiana league. President
Sexton. of the local association, has
Rubys signed contract To play with
Rock Island the coming season, and
there is no reason to believe he will not

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Police Inspector
Shippy to-day advanced a theory that

The roll of Hoch's alleged wives con-

BIOyy ~ f.f

London, Feb. IA speech delivered
in the Hampshire village of Eastleigh
on Thursday evening by Arthur Hanlil-
ton Lee, civil lord of the admiralty, has
created a sensation. In dealing with
the recent redistribution of Great Brit
aims naval forces Mr.. Lee frankly de-
clared that Great Britain had not so
much to keep her eyes on France and
the Mediterranean, but had to look with
anxiety, though not with fear, towards
the North Sea; and the fleets had been
so distributed as to enable them to deal
Win any danger in that direction,
should it unfortunately occur. If war
should unhappily be declared, he con-
tinued, under existing conditions the
British navy would get its blow in first,
before the other side had time to read
iii the papers that war had been declar-
ed. He maintained that sbys recent
naval reforms Great Britain's strength
as a naval-fighting power had been
practically doubled during the last few
weeks"
The speech, which was delivered at a
railway dinner in noWise political in
character, is commented upon in some
of the London morning newspapers as
exceedingly indiscreet and likely to be
greatly resented by Germany, at which
it evidently pointed. The Daily Chron-
icle suggests that Premier Balfour
should muzzle his civil lord of the ad-
Iniralty. ....5 j

new york Fireman's Remarkable Dis
play of CooIness.

New York, Feb. 3.-A remarkable dis
play Of courage and coolness in the
fact of danger was witnessed to-day
when the driver of a fire engine was
thrown from his seat by a collision,
and the horses started on wild run.
The drivers life and possibly the lives
Of other persons, was saved by the
prompt, cool action of Engineer Will
liam Il. Corley, who climbed around
the swaying boiler and down onto the
pole until he got possession of the reins
and brought the frightened horses to a
standstill. ..,
In falling, the driver grasped the
pole between the horses and was
dragged four blocks almost under their
feet. Corley, who was at the back of
the engine was thrown down by the
shock Of the collision and fell into the
firepan, being badly burned about the
feet and hands. He, however, craWled
forward and stopped the horeses. His
burns will keep him out of service for
several weeks. The driver was in d
state OF collapse when rescued, but
was not seriously injured. ,'.

Free to Vote as They Please.
Washington, Feb. S.-The republicans
of the house of representatives in con-
ference thjs afternoon adopted as
party measure the bill extending rates
making powers to the interstate COM
merce commission, as agreed upon by
the committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce, and known as the Esch-
Townsend bill. The conference instruct
ed the house committee on rules to
bring in a rule providing for consider
alton of the measure beginning at Il
o'clock Tuesday morning next and con-,
a vote shall be taken. No amendments
win be allowed TO the bill, although the
first vote is to be taken on the Davey
bill as the democratic substitute for leg
islation on the railway rate subject,
The conference, which lasted three
hours, developed opposition to the
measure. The only test vote taken was
on a motion to postpone the matter for
further conference next Tuesday.
This was lost, IA TO 107. Efforts We're
made TO amend the bill during the con-
ference, but all of these failed,
Fault was found with the bill on the
ground that it did not include regula-
tion for the private car evil and termi-
nal charges. The advocates Of the bill
contested these criticisms, claiming
that authority was contained in the
bill to correct the complained-of evils.
The change of the meeting from a
caucus, as the call stated, to a confer
ence' leaves members participating free
to follow their own inclinations. 1t is
understood that the opposition may or
ganize with the purpose of joining the
minority in the house in the vote on the
rule prescribing the manner of consid-
ering the bill in the house. These plans.
however, have not been actually and
definitely decided on.

will decide whether the prisoners shall

Victim Has slight Chance OF RE-
coycry.
One of the most brutal shooting af-
fairs which has ever occurred in this
city took place on Fair street about 5:1O
o'clock Yesterday afternoon and as a
result Of the shooting the victim, Joseph
Caputo. lies in q dying condition at the
New Haven hospital, with four bullets
in his head and one In his stomach.
One man Is under arrest held without
bonds and the police are looking for
his two brothers.
The exact cause of the shooting is not
known at the present time, but from
the indications the police believe that
the affair is a sort of a feud which has
existed between the parties concerned
for some time.
The facts in the possession Of the
police concerning the affair are as fol-
lows: Shortly after 5 o'clock last night
Caputo, the victim Of the shooting,
left the home of his brother, with
whom he boarded, at 20 Fair street, and
started down Fair street towards Union
street. He had gone but a short dist
ance when five pistol shots, in rapid
succession, startled the entire neighbor-
hood. The people focked from their
houses and found Caputo lying on the
sidewalk in a dying condition. He was
carried back to his home and the police
and DIR. Mcclure were summoned.
When headquarters learned of the
affair Sergeant Hayes sent the patrol
wagon full of officers to the scene and
Sergeant Dennehy sent Detectives Dom
