HENRY WILL LEAVE.
Topeka Baseball Team Loses It's POpu-
lar Catcher.

Jack Henry viii not play with the
White SOx this season. Grow and
Cooley are negotiating with Mike Roach
former eastern star, to take his place.
Henry announced to Crow that he will
leave tonight or tomorrow for Williams
port, Pa, to join the independent league
of that state which is supported by a
number of baseball loving millionaires
The crack Topeka catcher has been
handed some big advance money BY
this league and will go there at sal
airy of $3.50 per month. Crow gave out
this figure and says he knows that It is
authentic.
Henry is under contract to Topeka,
however, and has also been given ad-
vance money Crow would not say this
morning whether he intended to black
list him or not for jumping.
Il shall talk over the matter more
with Cooley" said Grow. Henry feels
that he is obliged to go to this outlaw
league because of the advance he mas
received. He says that he has no JoD
here to support himself until the base
ball season opens but that If he goes
to WiIliamsport he can get a place IN
a hotel which VIII take care Of him. 1
don't think that he really wants to CO.
but feels obliged to on account of his
advance. So far as what we have given
him is concerned, I think he viii pay
it back all right If he makes good there.
But we have his contract to play with
US and can put him cut of baseball Tor
good if we want to. I'll know in a few
days what we will do
Crow today arranged for two exhibit
ton games in Topeka, on April and
z. with the St. Paul American Assoeia-
ton team. He has ordered the White
Sox to report on April 1 for practice
one month before the season opens.

NO INQUEST HELD.
Letters Found in Pockets Indicate
Swans Suicide was Planned.

No inquest will be held over the
body Of George Swan, who committed
suicide IN a sensational manner Mon
day afternoon while in the custody Of
Deputy Sheriff Carl Lawson. Coroner
H. H. Keith received a telegram this
morning from Swans mother, Mrs
NJ. Swan, of Weatherheld, Okla, stat
ing that she would arrive some time
this evening to claim the body.
An inquest is not considered neces-
sary, as letters found in his pockets
after Swan had killed himself revealed
the fact that he contemplated sui
eide, and Miss Roe Wooden, a girl
who works at the Copeland hotel, told
police officers this morning that she
and another girl and a man who was
Swans "chum" sat up with him Sat
urday night to prevent him from COM
hitting suicide at that time. Swan
was respondent over the certainty that
he would be returned to the Hutchin-
son refOrmatory, from which iustitu-
ton he was a parOled prisoner, on ac-
count of a fight which he had in
North Topeka. He had been working
for few days at the Union Pacific
hotel, and closed his enga cement
there by fighting with the night clerk.
A fight is considered a violation OF
parole, and Swan knew that the pa
role officer would be after him as
soon as the occurrence was reported
to the institution.
