PLAY ON
At LEXINGTON PARK
Chicago and st. Paul Teams Open
the Season This After
noon.

This afternoon will see the opening
OF the local Lacrosse season at Lexing-
ton park, st. Paul, when the teams rep
resenting the Chicago and st. Paul
clubs come together: These teams
opened the season in Chicago on Memo
for the windy city aggregation by a
score of 8 goals to 8. The saints are
not offering any excuses for their de-
feat in Chicago, but after their return
home settled down to hard training, and
today's game will find every player in
the pink of condition and ready to go
fast clip.
The Chicago team is practically
new one, last season being their first,
they having come to the front in
wonderful way. They defeated the fast
Calumet team Of Chicago in a series Of
games, and this year are going faster
than ever, as their defeat of the saints
will show The saints will 60 on the
field this afternoon determined to win,,
and will not be satisfied unless they
equal or beat the score put up against
them by the Chicago team.
The Chicagoans will present almost
an entirely new lineup, nearly all the
present team having been imported
from Canada to play the game for the
green-shirts. Their cover point, Kelley,
Is a player with national reputation
in Canada. having for years held down
that position with the champion Capital
team Of Ottawa. He is a valuable man
for any team to have, his long .exper,,
ence in the game standing him in good
stead. In the Chicago lineup will be
found three full-blooded Indians from
different Canadian reservations. Hill
and Rice play On the defense, and Two
| Axes, the third Indian, being very
fast home fielder.
The saints will put in the field about
| the same team as won the CARING and
Chapman cups last season, and lacrosse
fans will remember that last year st.
Paul had the best team in the history
Of the club. Minneapolis is ably repre-
sented On the team by the nimble;;
footed Ambrose Raymond: Raymond
almost every play pulled off. Jameson,
the new goal-tender arrived in the city
Friday evening, coming to st. Paul di-
rect from Ottawa, where he has played
in the best teams Of that part of the
country. He comes very highly recon-
mended and it is expected will ably fill
the position held down SO well by Ted
DIV Brown last season. Another new
face on the saints team is Ed Dunn,
who plays on the defense field. He
made his first appearance with the
saints in their Memorial day game, and
more than fulfilled expectations. The
Treherne and Graham, both of whom
; have shown up very well in practice.
The rest Of the team is about the same
as last year, and to say that they Will
play the game all they know how, is suf-
ficient guarantee that the sporting pub
lie will be well repaid for their trip to
the sanity city this afternoon.

This Respite Was Granted by

Court
AT REQUEST OF COMPANY
Whole Matter Now Depends on
What Decision the Sudreme
Court Mall Give

New York, Jan. 10.--The hearing in
the proceedings brought by Attorney
General Hadley of Missouri, against
the Standard Oil company, was put
over till this afternoon to allow Had
ley and his counsel to appear in the
supreme court and make arguments
on the order issued by the court to
IL. H. Rogers, instructing him to show
cause why he should not answer the
questions asked by Hadley.
When the order to show cause was
taken up before Justice Gildersleeve
today, in the supreme court, VIM. v,
Rowe and Frank Hagerman, counsel
for the Standard Oil company, asked
that the hearing on the question
whether Rogers be compelled to ans
wer the questions, be put over until
Friday morning. Judge Gildersleeve
granted the motion. They also re-
quested that the hearing before Com
missioner Sanborn should be held in
abeyance until after the argument be-
fore the supreme court. Justice Gil
dersleeye therefore ordered a stay
until Friday afternoon.

Although the COrOner's Jury Put the Blame of
Killing Walter II. Jones on to Gregory Page
the Latter Has Not Yet Been Arrested.
CHAIR 1T is SAID WAS USED TO COMMIT DEED
People txCited Over Awful Crime and il is Alleged the
Proper Officials Delay Arrest Fearing Pages
Political Influence

Special TO The Evening Citizen:
Gallup, N. NJ, Jan. 10.-The verdict
of the coroner's jury that Gregory
Page is indirectly responsible for the
death of Walter II. Jones, puts stain
on the name of one of the most in
fuential citizens of Mckinley county.
In fact Mr.. Page is so strong politi-
cally and through his property hold
ings that 1t seems doubtful at tie
present moment that he will be
brought TO trial at all, unless some OF
the friends OF the late Mr.. Jones puts
in an appearance and pushes the mat
ter. That Mr.. Jones had friends and
Sutherland, Va, has been proven by
the number of messages received and
judging from the contents of the tele-
grams they have plenty of means TO
push a trial if they see fit.
On the other hand, Mr.. Page is the
acknowledged republican boss" of
Mckinley county, the proprietor OF
the Page hotel owns the controlling
interest in the Electric Light and
Power company, the ice plant, and is
interested and owns much other pro-
perty. 1t is very doubtful whether a
fair trial could be had in this county
on account of the feelings expressed
for and against Mr.. Page. His
friends are trying to hush the matter
up. while his enemies and many peo-
pie not personally interested are anx-
ious that the case be brought to
trial. so the facts may become known.
There is as much mystery in just
what Mr.. Jones said to Mrs. Page as
there is in lust what kind of missile
Mr.. Jones was struck with. Those
who know will not talk and those who
do not know are talking too much
The bartender who was on duty, but
who happened to be in the back room
at the moment of the blow and the
fall, says that Mr.. Page struck with
his fist. The doctors say that it
would be impossible for a person to
cause such fractures as the skull of
the deceased showed, with the fist.
The general opinion seems 10 be
that the blow was delivered with a
chair.
Mr.. Pages temper has proved testy
before. There is an old affair OF
some twelve or fifteen years ago,
when Mr.. Page was running a saloon
at Winslow, Ariz., which was never
fairly closed up, And about ten
years ago here in this city, he was
mixed up in a shooting affair with a

CANADA ENTERS UPON
SYSTEMATIC FORESTRY

to keep the matter before the people.
At last, however, the American
Forest congress was organized, which
body mea in Quebec in 1892. The
most far-reaching result of that con-
vention was the adoption of the fire.
ranging system, which has done so
much to preserve the forests of Can
ada from destruction by fire. From
time to time the different provincial
governments adopted certain meas
ures for the preservation of the for
ests, bue there was no concerted ac-
tion and no systematic effort for the
accomplishment Of the important
task. Not until the Canadian Fores-
try association was founded in 1899
was any concerted effort made to in
duce the various governments to join
their efforts in the common cause.
So persistent was the Canadian For
estry association in its efforts that
the federal government at last saw fit
to place the stamp of its official rec
ognition upon the work of the associa-
ton and to call together the present
convention.
Among the delegates to the eonven-
ton are many prominent officials Of
the various provincial governments,
members Of the Canadian Forestry as

Indignation as Great as At First
Though No One Has Yet

New York, Jan. 10.-The trial of
Capt. William Van Schaick, former
commander of the excursion steamer
General Slocum, the i'll fated boat,
which burned in the East river on
June Is, 1904, while it had a large
Sunday School excursion on board, of
which over 1000, mostly women and
children, lost their lives, began today
before Judge Thomas in the federal
circuit court. Captain Van Schaick
is charged with negligence in the per-
formance of his duties as commander
of the Slocum and ii is understood
that Gen. Henry l.. Burnett, the
United States district attorney, who
represents the state, or rather the
United States government. will make
a determined effort to obtain a con-
victicn.

feeling against Captain Van Scnaick,
who is to great extent held respon-
sible for the great loss of lives, has
not decreased much since then. Pub
lie opinion demands that severe pun
ishment be meted out to those who
were responsible for the disaster, and
up to the present time comparatively
little has been done to satisfy this
demand. Steamboat Inspector Lund-
berg, to whose lax methods it was
due that rotten and worthless life
preservers were allowed on the Gen
eral Slocum, which, instead Of saving
lives caused the death of many people
on that Inflated steamer, who depend
ed upon those life preservers for their
safety, has been tried three times on
the charge of criminal negligence in
issuing a certificate to the General
Slocum, but in each case the jury dis.

with the disaster are still pending
