FREAK LAWS ARE PASSED

Topeka, Kan, June 4.-The publi

peculiar things. Lincoln's birthday

be elected county attorney under the

publication. This law probably would
not prevent the governor or a successor
from signing the death warrants of
the prisoners now in the penitentiary
who have been condemned to be hang
ed, but no governor will ever do 1t.
One of the freak laws is in relation
to burglar equipment. 1t provides
that any person found with nitrogly-
cerine. dynamite or any tools or imple-
ments adapted for breaking into safes
In his possession is liable to arrest.
Under this law man might be ar.

a vault door in the state house should
get out of order and the state should
send to Chicago for an expert with a
kit of tools to open the safe the man
could be thrown into jail the minute
he landed in the state.
Another freak law is the one which
absolutely prohibits any person from
entering upon or lettering upon the
property of another without first get
ting written permission from the own
er. 1t was intended to keep hunters
of of farms. but it will operate to
keep off picnic parties. botanists, or.
in fact, anybody who may go out for

NEW MANAGER.
Jimmy Casey May Succeed Joe Kelly If
Brooklyn Is Willing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Jimmy Casey,
the Brooklyn Clubs third baseman, is
| slated to succeed Joe Kelley as manager
of the Toronto Club Of the Eastern League
next season, provided the management
can make satisfactory arrangements with
President Ebbetts, Of the Brooklyn Club.
Negotiations looking to Casey's transfer
to Toronto are now on between President
J.. ]. McCafferty. of Toronto, and Ebbetts.
Casey played in Toronto as a catcher in
1897, and was very popular with the fans.
Next to Joe Kelley. he was probably the
most popular player that city ever knew.
While Kelley has not signed with the
Boston Nationals, he will undoubtedly
manage that team next season. Since KEEL
ley notified the Toronto owners of his in
t%entions they have been on the outlook Tor
a manager.
During the meeting of the National AS
ISOLATION In this city two weeks ago the
position was offered to Kid Gleason, but
Manager Murray, of the Philadelphia
Club. refused to negotiate for the Kids
release. Casey has been in Toronto for
several days, and would accept the posi-
tion. That he is competent is the uni
versal opinion of baseball men.
Just what the Brooklyn Club will do
with the infeld, should it decide to let
Casey go, can only be conjectured. 1t is
altogether likely that Alperman will be
over to third base and Pattee,
Mcmillan. Zimmerman or one of the 9th sr
nav men tried at second. 1t is said that
several deals involving the Superbas are
slated to TAX place during the National
meetingg in this city next month.

AUTOISTS ENJOY SMOKER.
Local Club Members Dine, Smoke and
Listen to Addresses.

Members of the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club and their friends enjoyed
a smoker given by the club last night
In it's clubhouse, at Broad and
Chestnut streets. After listening to three
well-known speakers, the members and
their guests retired to the banquet room,
where refreshments were served, after
which they enjoyed a novel vaudeville turn
furnished by well-known New York per-
formers.
The first speaker introduced was Freder-
lex II. Elliott. secretary Of the American
Automobile Association. Mr.. Elliott spoke
on the membership in general of the Amer
lean Automobile Association, and of the
benefits to be derived by its members. He
also congratulated the New Jersey club on
its large membership. which is the second
highest in the United States.
The next speaker to address the assem-
blage was Charles T. Terry, chairman of
the legal committee of the American Auto
mobile Association. He spoke particularly
on the automobile laws Of New Jersey, and
said that they ought to be repealed or
amended so as to allow automobilists of
other States to run through New Jersey
without going TO the trouble of registering.
He was followed on the platform by w. g.
Crosby, chairman of the legislative COM
mittee Of the New Jersey Automobile and
Motor Club. This ended the speechmaking
for the night.
All arrangements are completed for the
clubs 24-hour endurance contest, which
will take place on Friday. More than TWEEN
ty cars are entered for this race, and 1t will
probably be the most successful contest
held by the club. Mayor Haussling will
fire the gun for the start of the race. He
will be assisted by Mayor William Card
well, of East orange.

PARIS, Nov 13.-The tenth automobile
exposition at the Grand Palace here was
inaugurated yesterday by President Fal-
Heres. It is on a more magnificent scale
than ever before, the electrical display
both inside and outside the palace being
especially striking. The exposition this
year is noticeable for the great Increase
In the number Of low-powered, Moderate

the monsters in size and speed is evidenced
by the reduced number exhibited and the
general cut in prices of from 30 to 10 per

varsity team used the strongest forma-

only one touchdown was made.
