Minnesota lost game to Chicago while on

the compliment to the Chicagoans. Brenna Is

the visitors will have trouble before the game

yesterday afternoon in $500 bail each for trial
in special sessions charge of violating the
penal code. McGoyern and Britt fought ten
rounds In the Madison Square Garden arena on
the night of May %.
Besides the fighters, Henry Pollock and Tim
Hurst were also teld. the former being man.
ager of the exhibition and the latter referee
of the fight. Twelve ticket Spectators and
walters also were sent down town for trial.
The ticket Spectators are charged with abetting
the fighters and the, walters with selling liquors
without license.
In his opinion holding the accused, Magistrate
Breen said: 1.-The uncontradicted testimony Of
two police officers shows that charges Of ad-
mission were made. There seems to have been
a defiant and reckless disregard of the penal
statute under the supposed protection Of de-
lusfve subterfuge. The farcical legerdemain in
the pretended initiation of multitude Of So
called members was crude attempt to MAKE
the law mockery.

4 Surprise was lacking among the members of
the University Of Chicago baseball team when
the scheduling of "a football game for next fall
between Chicago and Minnesota was announced.
Rumors of such a game had been current at the
midway school for some time before the nine
started on Its travels.
Coach Stagg yesterday announced to the play
ers that they would hear some schedule news
about Saturday and called their attention to the
growing friendIiness between the gophers and
The lnaroons. The two hints were sufficient to
inform the members OF the team, and their
only surprise lay in the fact that the announce

MEET AGAIN
FRIDAY NIGHT
School Board May be Convened
to Try to Adjust Deadlock
Over Contractors.

Another special meeting of the
Board of Education may be held
Friday night of this week, President
Walker told NEWS reporter today,
in the effort being made by Messrs
Walker, Crowell and Peterson to ad-
just the difficulty over the awarding
of the contracts for repairing the
heating and sanitary system in school
No. 2 and for furniture for schools
Nos. and s. Mr.. Walker said,
however, that there hardly seems to
be any use of calling a meeting un-
less the three members of the other
faction give some indications of ac-
cepting their proposition or submit
some proposition of their own where
by the difference of opinion which
has existed for months might be set
tied.
Chairman Crowell, of the build
ing committee, at the special meeting
last Thursday night, suggested refer
ring the furniture question to three
disinterested men and abide by their
decision, and he proposed Albert Le-
on, George West and Richard Mar
tin, as told in the NEWS. The idea,
however, did not meet with much
favor from Messrs. Sturn, Moore and
Massopust, but the latter said that
he would have something to offer at
the next meeting. The three last
named commissioners do not want,
thew say TO settle the heating and
sanitary question first, but want to
take up both that and the furniture
matter at the same time. The pres
ident and chairman of the building
committee, together with Commits
sioner Peterson, urge that the heat
ing and sanitaries will need to be
put into the school first, during the
construction work, whereas the fur
niture does not have to go in until
the repairs to No. 2 and the addi-
tion to No. are complete.

BOSSES FEEL
ENCOURAGED
Say They Are Gaining Ground
With the Open Shop Idea
Union Men Say Little.

The agitation of the labor question
between the contractors and carpen-
ters remains practically unchanged.
Many non-union men are being
brought into town and number who
are persuaded by the delegates not
to work are leaving for other places.
1t is said that some of the largest
contractors in town are not having
any trouble to get men now.
1t is reported that one firm put on
nineteen new men yesterday, and
turned away five, who sought other
contractors for work. The bosses
also claim that some of the men who
nave been strong in the union have
left it and gone back to work for
their old employers.
In talking with some of the con-
tractors this morning, they said that
they are progressing better than they
expected with their work and intend
to open up several more large jobs
in short time.
When the union men were seen
this morning they were not inclined
to talk. but said that the union men
will not be allowed 10 go to work on
the French Nuns Home in Totem
Vile, as long as the contractors who
are doing the mason work remain un
fair, or until they give up the job.
The mason contractors say they are
going to finish the job.

WIFE is DEAD,
TOTTEN HEARS
Young Bride Left Middle Aged
Husband Over a Year Ago
Been Dead Three Months.
Special to the EVENING NEWS /:


TOTTENVILLE, July 18:-Word
has been received here by John Tot
ten, of this place, that his wife, who
disappeared from Tottenville about
a year-and-a-half ago, died in New
York city April "a last.
Totten had known nothing of her
whereabouts since the time she left
Tottenville. She had left him once
before, soon after their marriage,
claiming, it is said, that she could
not keep house on 50 a week and was
forced to go out and work again.
At the time of their marriage she
was but young girl about nineteen
years old, while he was over fifty.
They lived for a time near the old
Billopp house opposite the Perth AM
boy bluff. He had heard nothing
from her since her disappearance un-
til he received a letter from her rela-
tives several days ago telling of her
death.
The marriage caused no little talk
here and, when the young wife dis
appeared, great sensation was
caused and much publicity was given
to the affair by the New York and
other papers. Totten ielt his loss
keenly.
