the edge of this cliff the French had con-

great cannon mounted on disappearing

learned. In all this precipitous bank

Special Cabegram to The Star.
LAHORE, India, December 1O-A cor
respondent OF Lahore paper discusses
the ways Of the Babu railway ticket clerks
and their treatment Of third-class passen-
gers. He says that the East India
railway authorities have been astonished
to discover that their former ticket Babus
have been in the habit OF overcharglng
third class passengers and pocketing the
difference between the fare charged and
the fare that should have been paid. This
practice has come to light through strike
and the substituting OF girl clerks for the
ordinary Babu. Two other methods Of
adding to ones income" IL one was a
ticket clerk were as follows: AN Ignorant
third-ciass passenger asks for q ticket to
Amritsar, for example. II the Baku has
a friend there collecting tickets he gives
the man one to Ataree. charging the
Amritsar fare. At Armitsar the man has
to pay up for travelling beyond his ticket
or perchance 1t Is discovered at Ataree
that his ticket is only for that place. and
he Is bundled out protesting and complain

self and wife to Amritsar. the Babu gives
him one ticket, charging for the two,
and tells him that one ticket is enough
for him and his party. Again there is
trouble at the journeys end and he has
to pay. II an inquiry is made, it is the
word of a Jat against the word of an
educated Babu, possibly a failed B. A.,

GIANTS NOT AFTER
BROOKLYN STARS

NEW YORK, December 10.-Emphatic
denial was given both by the New York
National League club and the Brooklyn
club yesterday to the repeatedly published
yarn that New York had offered $4,000 for
the services of Jordan and Lumley, two
Brooklyn players, and that the Brooklyn
management was on the point of accepting
the sum and permitting the men to Join the
Giants.
The New York management denied fatty
that an offer of any sum from one penny
up ever had been made to Brooklyn for
either player. The Brooklyn owners just as
emphatica1ly asserted that no offer had
been received from the New York club, and
in addition to that stated point blank that
New York could not have either player at
any price.
"I hope this will settle this story for good
and ALL" said Charles H. Ebbets, the presi-
dent of the Brooklyn club. IT am positive
that 1t has been circulated with no other
motive than to try to injure US with our
patrons in Brooklyn. Had those who have
been foremost in publishing the story
broadcast ever have made the slightest Eff
fort to have verified it by making inquiry
OF Brooklyn official as to whether New
York had offered such a large sum for
two players. and we would accept 1t, we
could quickly have given them the facts.
Jordan and Lumley will be with the Brook
Ign club next year just as surely as there
is q club In Brooklyn"

GOLF ASSOCIATION
TO MEET IN CHICAGO

NEW YORK. December 10.-For the first
time since its organization the United
States Golf Association is to hold it's an
nual meeting outside of New York. w. Fell
loves Morgan. the secretary. stated yester-
day that the meeting would be held at Chi
cago on Friday, January Is, and that the
change was the result Of petition sent
from the west. This shift Of scene was un-
expected, for the reason that some months
ago the executive committee announced
that the meeting would be held in this city.
AS an excuse for requesting a Chicago
selection the westerners claim that SO much
interest will be manifested that 1t will re-
suit In a large accession of club member
ship to the association both associate and
allied; also that a meeting held in Chicago
will be more national In scope than IL held
elsewhere. The petition suggests a west
ern meeting place at least once in every
three years.
It is likewise understood that a western
president would be most acceptable out
Chicago way. The u. S. G. A. nominating
committee, consisting OF Ardin NJ Robbins,
New York: Robert Lesley. Philadelphia
and Phelps B. Hoyt. Chicago. has not as
yet presented its ticket. According to the
constitution. this will have to be done at
least thirty days prior to the annual meet
ing.
