SEATTLE WILL BE,
KEPT In LINE,
SAYS BERT.

President Eugene T. Bert of the
Pacific Coast Baseball League left this
city last night FOR Seattle. where he
will attempt to straighten out the
tangle IN that city. Bert says that the
national game VIII be kept going. no
matter what happens. and that If
necessary the league officials will take
charge of the Seattle club If the di-
rectors decide to abandon the race.
President Bert IS astonished that the
Seattle magnates should have made
such foolish statements. He AYERS that
the Seattle club has not been slighted
and that the treasury of the league is
anything buf in pinched condition, as
the Seattle men say.
THE whole trouble is that Seattle
has. had a. losing team and the men
~ho are backing il are not game"
said Bert last night. II sort of eX-
pected this trouble for some time. The
seattle magnates have been making
all kinds OF threats for many weeks,
but still l thought that when it came
TO a showdown they would be game
enough to fight it out.
we managed to get rid of Morley
and keep the game going just the same,
and l guess we can manage to keep
going without the Seattle powers. L
am ready to take charge of tnat Seattle
team. 1 can get the money to back
the nine. and we will carry it through
the season with flying colors.
IF Seattle had a winning team this
season the story would be a different
one altogether. The team could not
make good either at home or on the
road. and this is the cause OF all the
shouting. At that, Seattle always drew
well both in this city and Los Angeles.
II the nine did not make money on
the home grounds ii certainly is not
the fault of the officials of the league.
we Are ready to carry the Seattle
team through this season and IL neces-
sary we will form a new association
in order TO keep the game on it's feet
In the northern town. You can say for
me that Seattle will finish the season
out even if we have to take players
from every other team in the league
in order to make good.
II am not going ITO attempt to start
any fight in Seattle. Ny mission is a
peaceful one unless the other fellows
want war. 1 will talk the matter over
with them. and If they are willing
to listen to sense and reason, l guess
everything can be arranged to the
satisfaction of the Seattle magnates as
well as the league officials

During Night Session

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Alarmed at
the threats of a bolt by the Brooklyn

the Democrats was insisted upon, the
managers of the independence League
sent for William r. Hearst shortly
after midnight to try to get the State
committee. which is in session. to-

The meeting of the State committee
tonight developed the fact that widely
divergent views are held by delegates
and committeeman of the league as to
the advisability Of fusing with the Dem

that straight league ticket shall be
nominated by the league without re-
gard to the action Of the Buffalo con-

The Brooklyn members of the
league served notice at the meeting
that unless straight ticket, with
nominees for all offices. was nominated
by the convention, which meets today.
they would bolt. The situation be-
c1me such shortly after midnight that
hurry call was sent to Hearst to
come up to the meeting.
Before the difference as to fusion

W. ]. Conners of Buffalo made di-
rect proposition to the State committee
of the independence League at its
meeting last night for fusion with

petition which he said had been signed
by Democratic leaders of the State
asking that the independence League
at it's convention refrain from naming
a full ticket until after the meeting of
tho Democratic convention at Buffalo
on September 25.
At midnight Corners was making q
speech in favor of his petition. When
asked whether or not the petition was
signed by Charles F. Murphy. the lead

"It was not signed by Mr.. Murphy.

upstate affair, and Tammany Hall had

A REVOLUTION.
General Hernandez Busy in
Colombia Organizing a
Movement Against Castro

NEW YORK, Sept. 1o.-The Tribune
today says: Venezuela IS again threat
ened with civil strife. The man ready

1t was only few months ago that
General Hernandez left this city and
sailed for Barranquilla, Colombia.
When he sailed he gave out that he
was in Ill health and was going to
COLOMBIA to recuperate. 1t was not
long, however, before news came to his
friends in this city that he was on his
way up the Magdalena River. bound for
Bogota. 1t was Immediately surmised,
and, as later developments prove, cor
rectly, that his mission was to confer
with President Reyes of Colombia, who
also is not on friendly terms with Pres
dent Castro.
General Reyes. however, would not
give TO Ell Mocho the material support
which he asked for his insurrection.
although it is understood that he
granted to General Hernandez permis-
sion to organize. his movement on CO.
lombian soil. In this he is now actively
engaged

THOMAS MAY MEET
JOE WALC0TT
AT COLMA.

1t is very likely that Colma will be
the scene of the revival of the profess
sional boxing game instead OF San
Francisco. Billy Roche. the man who
represents the fight trust OF the. SUBJ
urban hamlet, is after a match. and II
he succeeds in landing it within the
next few days 1T will be brought of on
September "a. or. four days before the
Hanlon-Hyland go in this city.
Roche is making strenuous efforts TO
match Joe Thomas and Joe Walcottfur
the welterweight Championship of the
world, the fight to be a twenty five
round affair. Roche says heawi1 give
the men percentage or else hang up
purse for them to battle for. He fig
ures that this fight will draw twelve or
fifteen thousand dollars. even In little
burg like Colma.
AS both men have expressed a desire
to meet. Roche Is confident he can get
them together without much difficulty.
Thomas has already sent q favorable
reply to the message of the Colma mag
nate and If the Barbados wonder
comes through with like answer the
fight will be arranged to take place on
September "a.
If Roche is unable to land Walcott
and Thomas he will make an endeayor
to sign up Lew Powell and Dick Cullen.
Powell is still in the amateur class, but
1t is pretty certain proposition that
he will be willing to turn professional
for go with Cullen provided suit
able inducement is offered him.
Roche says he is going to declare war
on the fight trust of this city and pull
off fights at regular Intervals at the
Colma arena He can fight as often as
he likes in that vicinity, for it is not
necessary to secure a permit every
month in order to pull off bouts. If
the first fight is a success, Roche says
he will have a hot one on the card
every couple of weeks in order TO keep
the game going.
Sol Levinson announces that he has
matched Billy Snailham and Johnny
Grove for a twenty-round engagement
at Everett, Wash, on the night of Sep
tember %, the same evening that Han
Ion and Hyland will make passes at
each other. The men will meet at 12S
pounds at o'clock. Snailham is COM
PEELED to give away six pounds to his
opponent. but he thinks he can win and
is willing to take the chance. He will
leave for the north probably today.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Kuhn, Loeb

gagged $4,000, 900 in gold eagles in Lon
don for import. Under the order of
Secretary Shaw national bank acting

The National City Bank today en-

but $T5O,0OO OF which will come from
London. The s750,o00 worth will come
from Australia.
Goldman, Sachs g. Co. announced the
engagement Of s5GO.OOO in gold, and
Mueller, Schall & Co. of $1,000 900 in gold
for import into this country.
Some of the banking interests which
announced gold imports today were
surprised to learn at the subtreasury
that no advances would be made on
gold shipments which left Europe last
week. The treasury officials contend
that the Secretary's ruling applied
only to gold shipped on and after to-
day. 1t is generally believed that a
great deal of the gold announced today
was shipped from European ports last
Saturday. If the ruling prevails no
advances will be made on these en-
gagements. Up to 2:30 today $3,125,00O
in bonds had been deposited at the
