Chicago, Jan. 19.-President Ban
Johnson of the American league re-
turned this morning from Cincinnati,
where he has been in attendance at the
meeting of the Nataional Baseball COM
mission He gave the reasons that he
had for asking for the resignation of j.
Ed Grille from the National Board of
Minor leaguers.
= f'It is not personal matter between
Grille and myself, by any means,' said
Ban. ''The trouble started year ago
when the minors were asking for new
draft rule, and Grille was one Of the
most bitter writer's at the time in con-
demning the American league for the
attitude we felt forced to take.
j Griffiths Disliked by Ban.
"Tebeau, Griffiths and Stallings
were so bitter against the American
league that they were ready to do most
anything and the conduct Of Griffiths
was such during the summer that the
national commission felt for the good
of baseball he had to be put out of the
game.
"We talked this matter over then
and the minors agreed that only men
who were acceptable in every way
would be put on the national board
again. When Grille was elected he
was not agreeable to me OF several
others. It was found that he wanted
the Glass A leagues organization con-
tinued for g. purpose inimical to base
ball and his conduct, altogether, was
such that he was not fitted for the place
on the national board which should be
made up Of men who are willing to de-
eide cases on their merits and not for
personal purposes.
Toledo to Quit Glass A.
"Chairman Herman made the
minors promise last summer that no
man would be named on that board, but
would be perfectly agreeable to every
member of the national commission.
Grille resigned, The draft rules We're
all accepted before he resigned. Now
Hermann, the real owner of the Toledo
club, has ordered Grille, the president
Of the club, to withdraw the club from
the Glass A organization.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Reaches the ISthmuS Of Pan
anna Several Hours Ahead
Of Time.

Conlon, Nov. 1.-THE first
trip of an American president
outside of the boundaries of the
United States was successfully
consummated this afternoon at
half-past l, when the battleship
Louisiana, having on board Pres
ident Roosevelt and his party,
dropped anchor in the harbor of
Colon.
The Louisiana, which arrived
ahead of schedule time, was con-
yeyed by the Tennessee and
Washington, and the three yes
sells anchored about a mile from
the dock during a heavy rainfall.
Owing to the fact that the Lou
isiana arrived ahead of time,
neither President Amador, of
Panama, nor Chairman Shonts
was on hand to welcome Presi-
dent Roosevelt. They left Pan
anna at half past 4 in a special
train for Colon, and at half-past
8 tonight boarded the Louisiana
and extended a cordial greeting
to Americas Chief Executive,
In President Amador's party. be,

voyage had been pleasant and un'

tomorrow. He stated that he
proposed to look into the Jamaics

ANNA GOULD DIVORCED
Is Separated from the Count
She Purchased Several
Years Ago.

Paris, Nov. 14.-The tribune of
First Instance of the Seine, Judge
Ditte presiding, at noon to-day
granted a divorce to the Countess
de Castellane formerly Anna
Gould, of New York; and gave
her the custody of her children,
who, however, will not be allowed
to be taken from France without
the consent of the father.
The judgement was handed
down as soon as court convened
by Judge Ditte. and is a complete
vindicatlon for the Countess. She
is given custody of the children,
only usual rights. to see them and
share in the control of their edu-
cation, whic b was not contested,
being granted the count.
Anna Gould, the youngest
daughter of the late Jay Gould,
was married to Count Boniface
de Castellane, the eldest son of
the Marquis de Castellane, at the
New York home of her brother,
George J. Gould, March 4, 1895.
Miss Gould's dowry was under
stood to have been $18,000,0O0
and it was further stated that her
income was 100000 a year.
Immediately after the marriage
the couple left the United States
for France, where the extrava-
CANT manner in which they lived
attracted considerable attention.
About five years after the mar
rage the Count and Countess de
Castellane were reported to be
financially embarrassed, 1t being
alleged that the count had already
spent about $7,000,000 of his
wife's money. An adjustment of
affairs of the count and countess
became necessary and considera-
BILE litigation followed with the
result that the Gould family in
tervened and the income of the
countess was cut down to $780,
900.

president Has the Plans
Mapped Out.
SUBJECT OF WEALTH
And Its Encroachments Will
Be Discussed in Coming
Message.

Washington, D. c. Nov. 10
President Roosevelt has plenty
of work cut out for Congress this
winter. His animal message is
going to start the country anew
on the subject of wealth and its
encroachments.
He is going to ask for legisla-
ton that will still further curb
corporate wealth and also compel
individual wealth to recognize its
obligation to the country.
Taxation of large wealth is to
be one of the Presidents most
strenuous demands upon Con-
gress.
He has not outlined his ideas
very definitely, even to those
close to him, but his speeches on
the subject last spring fairly rep
resent his present frame of mind.
The President is determined to
insist more vigorously than ever
on a further extension of the
National Governments control
over corporations.
He will have great difficulty in
getting the Senate to meet his
views, but the experience of that
body with him on the rate bill last
winter is not likely to give Sena-
tors much confidence in their
ability to withstand the gatlfng
gun bombardment they will have
from the White House.
Ordinarily, the coming session
would he a short one, ending on
March 4, when the present House
goes out of existence. But Sen
ators and Congressman alike rea'
lize now that there is no end fol
Roosevelt until all the work is
done.
March 4, therefore, may mean
the beginning of a new session,
but it will have the unfinished
work of its predecessor on its
hands.

Park Hotel Destroyed.

At O'Clock Monday morning
the Park Hotel, which stood rear
the Rock Island depot, was de-
stroyed by fire, including prac-
tically all of the furnishings.
The building belonged to Mrs. j.
G. Holcroft of Pineville. 1t was
valued at about $1,000 and was
insured for $3.50.
Mrs. S. Clay occupied the
house at the time of the fire and
lost all of her belongings except
a few pieces of furniture. Her
loss is about 81. 900 with no in
surance.
The fire originated In the bed
room occupied by Mrs. Clay and
her daughters. One of them had
made a fire in the fireplace and
had gone to the kitchen, leaving
the others asleep. She left some
long pieces of kindling on the
hearth and the fire was COM
municated from this to the paper
on the wall. She heard roaring
and ran into the room to find the
walls and the ceiling aflame and
the sleeping inmates almost suffo.
Gated. They escaped through q
window.
This makes the fifth heavy loss
by fire in Winfield in less than
two months, the total loss of the
five fires footing up something
like 100000. The great need of
a system of water works becomes
apparent when one takes a look
at these figures.

Winfield is Catching it
Hot and Heavy.
Two IN ONE NIGHT
Five Fires in Less than Two
Months With Losses
Of $4,000

The saw and planning mill oi
Mr.. G. II. Elliott, located neal
the Louisiana and Arkansas
depot in this city, was completely
destroyed by fire at about 10
o'clock last Sunday night.
About 10000 feet of lumber was
also destroyed, the whole entail
ing loss of about 81, 900 with no
insurance.
The origin of the fire Is un-
known, but it is supposed to have
originated from sparks dropped
into some shavings or sawdust.
The entire mill was in flames
when the fire was discovered and
there was no possibility of saving
any part of the mill or planer,
A new building was under con.
structlon near the old plant, to be
used for new machinery. 1t was
saved from destruction, only the
framing having been put up. II
is probable that the plant will be
rebuilt on a better and larger
scale. -
