tive to some good and young inhelders. and I will in all probability have several extra men to work these elose-in posi- tions during the early season. Right now have settled to my own satisfaction the question of pitchers, catchers. out fielders third base and first base. All that is to be arranged now is second base and shortstop.
 Even if Newman does not come up to my expectations I am going to have an- other good man on first. I am not ready at this time to make any announcement as to his name, but l can promise he will be satisfactory to the fans and will show himself up as a good first sacker
 "So far as second base Is concerned I have two men in view, one of whom is already signed-young Bruce Hayes Hayes is rather light, but l doubt if there is a shiftier man in the minor leagues. lie did not show up so well with the stick last season, but might do better this year. He has the grit, Is high ly recommended by men who know the game, and will doubtless make good here Even if he does not, however, the other man might, and others are yet on the string, whom l might get.
 CT have two men already for shortfield also. Should neither of them satisfy me, I will have others to try out. The Bir- mingham club has never been so we'll situated so early in the year. and that makes me feel more satisfied than I would otherwise be. It is a sign of progress when only three men at the most are needed to fill up a team- and the month Of February is some sixty days ahead of the time for the first scheduled game to be played. Much can be done in two months"

CONSPIRACY

Chicago, Sept 25.--Bigger boodlers
than Stensland are about to be brought
to book in connection with the looting
of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank,
unless States Attorney Healey is mis-
taken. I'VE have five suspects under
surveillance" he. says, "and If Stems
land shows their guilt all will be
promptly arrested A great conspira-
cy is charged It only remains to be
proven and there will be other heads
in the basket"
Assistant States Attorney Olsen is
believed to have notified his superior
that Stensland has made a complete
confession, duplicating in his crimes
some of the wealthiest men in the
city. Assistant states Attorney Bar
bour left tonight to meet the embez-
zler, taking with him $1,000,00O in
notes which the ostensible signers say
were forged. If Stensland declares
them genuine, warrants win be sought
at once. The names of the five men
already accused have been telegraphed
to the states attorney and guards have
been set to prevent any possibility OF
an escape.
In reply to a question whetherStens-
lands disclosures will win him elem
ency Mr.. Healy said:
"The question is up to the pardon
board We cannot reach everyone in.
volved in the affair without Stems
lands aid. What influence his dis
closures will have with the board OF
pardons l cannot say. 1t may carry
some weight"

CONF FUS|ON
Reigns Throughout Ha-
vana-PresIdent Palma
and the Vice President
Ready to Resign-Taft's
Proposal Rejected.

Havana, Sept. 25.-At the assembly
of the Moderate party this afternoon
President Palma and Vice President
Mendes Capote signified their inten-
tion of resigning the presidency and
vice presidency The assembly resolv-
ed not to endorse Secretary Taft's pro-
posals of basis of peace. President
Palma stated that the call for an ex-
traordinary session of congress on
Friday was for the purpose of present
ing the designations. The situation
has now developed into state of COM
plete confusion. Secretary Taft stat
ed that the government will continue to
exist in Cuba after Friday despite the
reported designations. The secretary
said:
This upsets our hopes OF an early
settlement of Cuba's difficulties but we
start on a new plan tomorrow. No
United States troops will be landed for
the present at least"
A general state of uncertainty pre-
walls regarding the outcome OF the
call for an extraordinary session OF
congress as to whether or not quo
rum will be present. The tremendous
rains of the last three days makes 1t
proboble that disorders will commence
when the unsuccessful termination OF
the peace negotiations become known.

DEMOCRATS READY
To Do Battle With Nick Longworth
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Named.

Cincinnati, O., Sept. 25.-In the first
district today the Democrats nominal
ed Thomas H. Bentham for congress
and in the Second, John H. Meyers.
Bentham is to oppose Nicholas Long
worth, the presidents son-in-law, for
reelection and Meyers will run
against Herman Goebel. Both Long
worth and Goebel were formally
"blacklisted" for their records in the
last congress by the labor movement
under President Gompers, of the Am
erican Federation of Labor, and to-
days nominees are supposed to have
the backing of organized labor. Presi
dent Gompers, it is understood, will
make a number of speeches in the
two districts, while it has been an.
nounced that Speaker Cannon. Sen
ators Foraker, Beveridge and other
Republican orators will take the
stump for Longworth and Goebel. Ben
than is a lawyer who in early life
was a coal miner, while Meyers has
long been connected with organized
labor.

N 'CULLOCH IS
A PROBABILITY
In Considering the Most
Eligible Candidate for
Congress Two Years
Hence = Might Have
Won This Year Had He
Staid to a Finish.

Salem, O., Sept 25.-Politica1 prog
nostications had the call on Monday,
at which time leading attorneys and
politicians from all over the district
were here. Naturally enough the top
ic turned on the Republican situation
and the prospects of the two candi-
dates now contending for the nomina-
ton. A review of the situation, as 1t
might have been had the sudden turn
not been taken here by which Grant
dropped out of the race, and the pros
poets of a Stark county man winning
the nomination, provided either Nc
Culloch or McLain had remained in
the contest was also talked over.
Many, even from Columbiana county,
think that had Roscoe McCulloch
staid in the fight and not resigned
when 1t was thought it would be bet.
ter politics for him to retire and lei
the race to be made by McLain, that
he could have won hands down, with
the solid vote of Stark county behind
him. His attitude of loyalty to Stark s
interest both in Youngstown and Sa-
ith was UNI anu GIL ShSuAN
was given him for the honorable ano
straightforward manner in which he
opposed the adjournment, which he
we'll knew would cause the expense OF
another primary to be incurred. His
devotion to party, rather than the dis
play of selfishness, in withdrawing
from the contest after he had an
nounced his name, was also commend
ed, and it has assured him the loyal
support of large percentage of the
vote in this and Mahoning county
should he decide to become a candi
date two years hence, which his
friends say he is seriously consider
ing
One close observer gave it as his
opinion that should Kennedy receive
the nomination a week from next Sat
urday that the brilliant young STARK
county central committee chairman
will =. be the logical candidate in two
years for the congressional nomina
tion in this district.
'If he does decide to be candi
date" said one of the best-posted
politicians in this county, "he will re
ceive loyal support from old and stead
fast Columbiana county"

DYNAMITE USED

Cleveland, o., Sept. 2b.-An attempt
was made today to destroy the Nickle
Plate bridge on the fats, with dyna-
mite. The attempt failed through an
accident. An internal machine was
thrown from the rear OF a passenger
train, landing on the trestle and then
rolled off on the ground, fuse becom-
ing broken. rendering the machine
harmless. If the % sticks of dyan-
mite in the machine had exploded,
several buildings besides the trestle
would have been destroyed. The in
fernal machine was in the shape Of a
satchel and 1t was equipped with four
dry batteries. fuses and an alarm
clock. The machine was found on
the ground beneath the trestle by Har-
man Lucht. a watchman. He did not
know what it was and showed 1t to the
freight agent in the depot nearby. The
latter opened the satchel, disconnected
the mechanism and turned il over to
the police. who are at loss to ad-
vance a motive for the attempt to
blow up the bridge.

BETTER ORDER
And a Cessation Of Hos
tilities Reported From
Seat of Race Riot-Citi,
zens Meet and Depre-
cate Lawbreakers.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 25.-The city is
quiet tonight, following the disorders
of last night and early this morning.
There is even cessation of wild ru-
mors. AS direct result of the racial
troubles several large manufacturing
plants found it necessary to close
down today because of lack of ade-
quate help. The negroes in many In
stances refuse to go to work, and
many of them are leaving Atlanta,
saying they are going to the cotton
fields where it is safer. Three new
companies of troops arrived tonight
from Jackson, Athens and Madison,
called here by Governor Terrell, thus
Iaugmenting the gTarG Dy more than
100 men. Following the citizens meet
ing of this morning, the city council
met this afternoon and at the request
of the citizens permanently revoked
the license of 81 negro saloons and
restaurants. Most of these are on
Decatur street, the negro quarters,
where most of the criminals congre-
gate. A mass meeting of 1000 prom
inent citizens, representing the best
element of all classes, laborers and me-
chanics included. was held / the court
house this afternoon and after some
discussion, resolutions were adopted
denouncing all lawlessness, calling on
all authorities for the prompt punish
ment of all the guilty and promising
their best efforts for the full protec-
tion of life, property and womanhood.
A committee of safety consisting of
ten members was then appointed with
Captain J. W. English as chairman, tc
confer with the city police, and mill
tary and offer them any aid that might
be needed in the restoration of law
and order.

GETTING READY
At the Navy Yards for Hot Old
Time With Cuba.

Portsmouth, Va, Sept. 25.-Renewed
activity in Portsmouth navy yard to-
night indicates that Uncle Sam has de-
termined to strengthen the forces al
ready sent to Cuban waters. This is
apparent on all sides and one of the
forcements yet assembled for service
in the Cuban campaign is to be mobil-
lied here for transportation to Cuba.
| This is being done hurriedly and every
available garrison at the navy yard
and elsewhere from which marines can
be spared is being drawn upon for the
augmentation of the force that 10 to
leave here within the next few days.
One Of the most significant steps to-
ward the augmentation of the patrol
feet in tropical waters is the stir and
hustle of preparation that places the
second class battleship Texas in the
| limelight again. Since the dispersion
of the coast defense squadron of which
she was the flagship the Texas mas
been lying in ordinary at this navy
yard. The old battleship was shifted
at the navy yard today to the foremost
position on the water front and to-
night coal barges are alongside the
bunkers being filled up rapidly
as possible and stores are to be
put ashore at once. 1t is understood
that the ship will get away Saturday
morning if possible.
