Paine's manner of conducting his
bureau is somewhat similar to his pre-.

strength of this he was ordered to
close up his office in the fourth floor
of the Meeker Building, 1872 Market

Late this afternon Mr.. Paine denied
that he would close his office, despite
what the police might say or do.
Outside of two clerks, a Typewriter

however, a pile of interesting circulars
relating to the manner in which he has

MINORITY REPORT ON
PA. CAPITOL SCANDAL ?
Rumor of One Started in Harrisburg
Because of Long Session of
Commission Today.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. 16.-The
capitol investigation committee, which ex-
poets to deliver its report to Governor
Stuart today. went into session at 10 a m.
for the final consideration Of the docu-
ment and to aflix the signatures of the
members OF the commission. II was ex-
pected the session would be a brief one,
but to the surprise of those who are
watching the proceedings the commission
took recess for one hour at p. m, and
1t probably will be late in the afternoon
before the report is placed in the hands
Of the Governor.
The protracted session started rumors
Of possible friction, one OF them being that
Senator Dewalt, n Democratic member,
had at the last moment presented a
minority report. Much secrecy surrounds
the meeting and the rumor of the minority
report could not be confirmed

HARDIN NOT in RACE
DENIAL OF TALEABOUT CUB
ERNATORIAL CANDIDACY.
Has Not Been Asked; Doesn't Expect to
Be- and Is Not Thinking of Cover
norship He Says.

John r. Hardin, whom dispatches from
Trenton have placed in the race for Demo-
cratic gubernatorlal honors, today made
an absolute denial Of the truth Of any
of them. He laid special emphasis ON the
fact that he would not enter the race for
the nomination.
Nobody has asked me to be a candidate
for the nomination for Governor. and the
thought of the governorship is farthest
from my mind" Mr. Hardin told an
EVENING STAR representative today.
These dispatches said, too. that the can
didacy of Mr.. Hardin would be announced
in few days. That was denied also by
Mr. Hardin. as was a statement that he
had changed his mind after having made
"A previous announcement that he would
not take the nomination. His declination
OF an offer OF a Supreme Court Justice
ship has been construed by those who
have framed the latest story to mean that
the leaders have had him In mind all the
time for the nomination. All these stories
Mr.. Hardin denies absolutely. He also re-
fused place as Yice-Chaacellor. The
terms Of both these places are longer
than the three years Governor has. and
is surrounded by greater dignity.

CHESTY PLAYERS
ON THE JOB

DETROIT, Sept 27.-Tyrus Cobb,
the right fielder of the Detroit team, Is
said to be chesty. He has the reputa-
ton among ball players of being the
freshest youngster that ever broke into
the big league, and there are some
few old timers who are fast falling into
the sere and yellow of tho has been
class, who say that Cobb broke his
way into the big league class with
jimmy.
Well, Mr. Cobb has a perfect right
to go around with an abnormal chest
expansion. His work this year entities
him to strut up and down with a Tom
Sharkey frontage
The Detroits play swell game, but
Cobb is the SWEETEST player in the
whole swell mob. The Tigers sparkle
collectively, but Cobb throws off in
dividual sparks that make him the
feature piece of the entire fireworks.
There is no department of the game
in which he does not excel.
Men of long experience in baseball
have found it almost lnvariable that
the "Chestiest' players are the best
that are made. Chestiness denotes
confidence and if that article isn't
the thing that pushes a player along
and wins games then baseball is lawn
tennis or heanbag.
The chesty fellows, those who think
they are better players than anyone
else, are the ones who succeed in tho
great majority of cases.
Mike Kelly was the freshest
youngster on earth when he broke into
professional baseball so was Arlie
Latham; so was Roger Bresnahan, and
so We're hundreds of others who have
made their mark. There are different
ways of being "chesty" and some
players make themselves more prom
inent than others in displaying 1t; but
chestiness is confidence in ones own
ability, and counts every time.
Christy Matthewson has been ac-
cused Of having a "swelled head" and
McGraw, Jennings, and. in fact, the
whole Oriole crowd, which even in
cluded the modest Willie Keller, was
said to be the freshest of the fresh.
But they all got there. Whenever a
player forgets to be chesty he can be
put down as going back. Old ball
players decry any exhibition of undue
freshness" or what they consider as
such, on the part of new leaguers,
but all the same it is those tabasco kids
who stir the "has- beens" stumps more
than occasionally, and keep the game
up to the "chesty" point, where it be-
longs.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 27.-In
the pink of condition and ready for
their battle, which will be for the
lightweight championship Of the world
Joe Cans and Jimmy Burns await the
call to the ring of the Pacific Athletic
club tonight Big Jim Jeffries will be
III" third man in the ring and viii re-
coive $1,000 for his services as referee.
Cans is naturally a heavy favorite
but, considering the Importance Of the
bout the betting has been unusually
small Few of the ring experts are
able to figure how Burns has any
chance of winning the fight. He is
good at infighting and has a hard
punch, but in cleverness ard all-round
experience Cans is in every way his
superior. Burns boxes on the lines of
Battling Nelson. He is just as rugged
and is thought to be harder hitter
But he is not as good in his defense.
He boxes in an upright posture and
for a clever and scientific fighter like
Cans he should be easy to get at The
general opinion is that tho champion
should be able to dispose of the Chi.
cago fighter in a short time.
The fight will be a 20-round affair
and will be the second time in one
month that Cans has defended his
title. The colored fighter came out of
his recent contest with Britt without a
mark, and since then has been train
ing faithfully so that he is in excellent
also has been in training for some
weeks and the reports from his quar-
ters are to the effect that he is in the
best of condition. The contest will be
at 1876 pounds, a weight which suits
both fighters.

ENTERTAIN BIG
EASTERN ELEVEN

PORTLAND, Sept. 27-In Issuing
sylvania for a series of two or more
football games in Seattle during
Christmas week, the University of
Washington is entering upon the big
gest undertaking ever attempted in
Northwest football circles, says the
Journal. Washington guarantees all
of the expenses incident to the trip of
the Pennsylvania collegians, expecting.
that they will be covered by the large
attendance the games will draw from
all over the Northwest
Whether or not the Quakers will
come west depends on the condition of
the team at the end of the long east
ern engagement. Washington has taxi
en- actively to rowing in the past five
years and it is believed the football
challenge will result in an invitation
to Washington at the annual regatta
at Poughkeepsie next spring.
The last eastern team to play foot
ball on the coast was the crack Mich
igan eleven, which smothered STAN
ord university at Pasadena in the fall
OF 1900 by score Of 40 to 0. That
year Michigan rolled up a grand total
of $50 points without being scored
upon. Greater expense will be invol-
we'd in the Washington enterprise,
owing to the continental journey. But
Seattle Is in the habit of doing big
things athletically Last year the
North Division High school team was
brought out from Chicago to be de-
feated on the Seattle gridiron and in
the GLOWING spring a championship
baseball team from the Seattle High
school toured the eastern states.
There is a likelihood that in the
event the University of Pennsylvania
is unable TO make the trip westward.
an all-eastern eleven win be made up
to meet the washington athletes.
