PHILIP wEINsEIMER CASE ARGUED.
Man Convicted of Extorting $2,700 to Call
Off Strike Appeals-Decision Reserved.

The appeal OF Philip Weinseimer from the judg-
ment OF the Court of General Sessions, convicting
him November IS. 1884, OF having extorted S2.7OO
from George j. EsSig, a contractor. argued
before the Appellate Division yesterday afternoon
The defendant sentenced to states prison for
not less thars year and eight months more
than two years and eight months. but had since
been out bail. and present a spectator
during the argument. Decision was reserved.
According to the testimony in the case Essig had
a $4,000 contract TO build an apartment house at
I'D street and Riverside Drive the erection of which
was being delayed by strike of plumbers union.
Weinseimer was charged with trying TO extort from
Essig 5000 and of actually eXtortinS $500 TO have
the strike called off.
Mann Trice. counsel for the defendant. made his
argument yesterday almost entirely the law. and
did not attack the testimony brought forth at the
original trial He said that ii had not been proved
that Weinseimer had anything to do with calling
the strike off or that he could have prevented the
sumption of work. and that merely attempt to
"beguie" Essig out Of money was not crime.
Robert G. Taylor, Assistant District Attorney,
argued that from the facts in the feloniOus
Intent clearly proved. He deplored the fact
that In the original trial II had not been clearly
proved that Essig had believed WeinSeimer cOud
make good his threat to prevent the resumption OF
work. and that Essig had not been questioned more
specifically on this point But he maintained that
would have been brought forth at the original trial

Hinged on Eligibility Rules.

John c.. Ross, manager OF the association foot
ball team at Columbia University, and vice
president of the Intercollegiate Association Foot
ball League who was mainly instrumental in ar
ranging the recent soccer carnival in this city,
and who has had misunderstanding with some
of his players. made the following statement
yesterday:
In connection with the trouble in association
football at Columbia, deem IL my duty. both
IN Justice TO the university and to myself, TO
state that 1 have been Observation-Disclosures, in
regard to my alleged resignation as manager OF
the team; second. as to certain acts OF my man
agement
The entire matter can be summed I'D by the
statement that this deplorable state of affairs is
the result of my refusal to countenance infrac-
tion of the eligibility rules of the university by
the players. For this have no apology to offer.
Officially, 1 continue as manager of the team
and as such 1 have not sanctioned forfeiture or

BASEBALL NJ EN MEET
Routine Business at T7cO Sessions of
National League.

The annual meeting of the National League
of Baseball Clubs convened at the Hotel Vic
toria, I'm this city, yesterday, and two sessions
were held. Those present were George 3.
Dewey, the new owner of the Boston Club;
Charles W. Murphy. of Chicago; Barney Drey-
fuss, of Pittsburg; Garry Hermann. of Gin
cinnati; Frank De Haas Robson and Stanley
Robson, of St Louis; William Spottslink, of
Philadelphia; Charles II. Ebbets, of Brooklyn,
and John t. Brush OF New York.
Although the meeting had been called for Il
o'clock it 2:3O o'clock before President
Pulliam called the session to order. After the
roll had been called and George B. Dewey. the
new owner of the Boston club, had been intro
duced 10 the assemblage. w. w. Conant and
Arthur II. Soden the retiring Boston owners,
were elected 10 honorary membership in the
league. The meeting then adjourned until
o'clock. in order that the managers might have
an opportunity to attend the testimonial benefit
10 Henry c. Barnabee at the Broadway Theatre.
Mr. Barnabee for years was well known fan"
in Boston.
The withdrawal of Arthur II. Soden. who has
been connected with National League baseball
for thirty years was cause for regret. He has
been closely identified with the government OF
tine sport since the league was organized in 1876,
and has never missed an annual meeting. lie
was one of the bitterest opponents 10 any form
Of gambling at baseball games years ago, and
has lived to see the game entirely divorced from
betting.
At the evening session President Pulliam read
his annual report. and said that financially the
last year was the best that the National League
had ever had. The following resolution was
then offered by Charles II. Ebbets. of Brooklyn,
and unanimously adopted:
Resolved That it is the unanimous vote of
this league that President Pulliam he most
heartily commended for his untiring efforts in
enforcing proper discipline upon the National
League ball field during the year 1906.
A committee was appointed 10 arrange din
ner in honor of \. Ii. Soden and William Cam
non, retiring members Of tho league. The din
ner viii be held at the Waldorf-Astoria tonight.
The league adjourned to meet again at
O'clock to-day. when officers viii be elected.
The slight opposition to the reelection of Harry
c. Pulliam as president seemed TO have disap-
peared.
One deal was announced last night in the
exchange of Richey, second baseman; Flaherty,
pitcher, and one other player of the Pittsburg
club for Abbatichio second baseman Of the
Boston club.
Barney Dreyfuss president of the Pittsburg
club was highly elated the deal, but he
declared that he knew nothing about il, for the
reason that the entire matter In the hands
of Fred Clark, manager of the Pittsburg club,
and Fred Tenney, the new manager of the Bos-
ton club.
Mr.. Dreyfuss also announced that Clark would
be the manager of the Pittsburg club next sea-
son. He has not yet signed a contract" said
Dreyfuss, "but have his assurance that he will,
and am satisfied"
