New Haven, Jan 26.-Though there are many people who think that Con Danaher ard the New Haven base ball franchise in the Connecticut league are to be part of each other for many years to come, another story has bobbed up to the effect that the Meriden lawyer is to get rid Of his base ball holdings here. This item the prospective buyer is Samuel Simmons, part owner of the Bridge port roller polo team. 1t is claimed Mir Danaher is inclined to consider favorably an offer from the Bridge port man.

SPIES WATCH FOR OPEN
SALOONS IN

Chicago, Dec. 11.-New tactics were
employed by the Chicago Law and Or
der league in it's warfare on Sunday sa-
looms yesterday. Instead Of devotinr
their energies to collecting evidence
merely, agents of the Organization
sought for violations of the law and
hen notified the policeman on the hear
that the state law was being violated
and it was his duty to arrest the Of
tenders. Refusals by the patroI,nen
were followed by warnings that the
league would institute proceedinps
against him for neglect of duty. So
far as can be ascertained only one no
liceman was called upon in this man
her. He was taken to a saloon at State
and Van Buren, streets at 8 a. M. and
his attention was called to the fact
that a bartender was serving intoxf-
eating drinks to twenty-five custom
ers in violation not only of the state
law regarding Sunday closing, but also
of a city ordinance requiring all sa-
looms TO close at 1 o'clock. According
to 2. J. Davis. vice president of the
league, the policeman refused to arrest
the bartender without a warrant. The
early morning expedition of the league
agents visited a umb of saloons in
the west and central portions of the
city, but reported no violations of law.
except at one place. The saloons Wis
tied included those of Alderman John

New York, Dec. 11.-New York, which

demonstrated hat it was equally eff

ular statutes. The aldermen will meet
on Thursday to modify the ordinances
so far as their authority goes.

CLOSED"
The effect of the Sunday closing
was everywhere apparent. Broadway
was deserted except for those who found
nothing better to do than to walk the
streets. h hush throughout the great
white way was painful to ears accus-
toned to the weekday noises and Sun
day ~har1nonies. Upon the doors of he
opera houses theaters, music halls.
dancing academies, skating Kinks and
penny arcades placards had been
posted. These bluntly announced that
the places had been closed for the day
tn accordance with Justice O'Gorman's
decision. At the theaters even the box
offices were closed and the advance
sales for the week interrupted.
At the various branches of he
Young Mems Christian association the
usual Sunday programs were radically
n stereopticon exhibitions

ing pictures which have been a feature
of the Sunday afternoon meetings were
suspended for the day. The services fol-

Washington, Dec. 11.-Senator Gam
bile has introduced a bill to open the
lands of the Standing Rock and Chey-
enne Indian reservations in Schuasse
county, in the northwest part of South
Dakota.
West of the Missouri about 1000, 900
acres are covered. in the western part
of the two reservations. The bill pro-
vides for three commissioners TO
praise the lands and make a clasSifica-
tion of them. They must quality in
twenty days after appointment by the
president and complete the work with
in four months.
The bill carries an appropriation for
the payment for the school lands Of
$4,000, which are to &c to the state,
and $40, 900 additional for expenses of
appraisement and any allotment of
work necessary.
The senator has had the matter I'M
der discussion with the interior DEPART
r1ent for some time and expects al in
spector will be sent TO take it up with
the Indians, looking to an agreement in
line With the bills provisions.
The act could be passed independent
of agreement, but it is thought best to
secure the Indians consent.
If the bill passes the lands will like
ly be opened next fall or early in 1903.
The lands are highly desirable for agri-
cultural! purposes and grazing, and lie
along he ilWaGkee's extension.

WHEAT JUMPS, PIT IS FRANTIC
TAKES ANOTHER Squirt Or
THREE CENTS AND TRADERS
SEEK COVER.

Chicago, May l4.-Excitement such
as has not been seen on the ooaru Vi
trade since the black rust scare OF
1904 existed Saturday. when wheat
which has been steadily advancing ior
several days, took another jump OF
more than 8 cents. Frantic EFFORTS
were made to get from under the ad-
vance by the bears. but they were met
by a demand which came from all
parts of the country and swept every
thing before it.
The high mark for the July, option
was 81 Sac. for September SO Sac, and
for December 95 1-Sc. All options
closed very close to the high mark
and with the buIlish feeling still una
bated.
The cause of the upturn which has
taken place in the last few days is
the widespread belief that the crop oil
winter wheat ibis year will show
notable decrease as compared Win
that of 1896. The prevalence of cold
weather in the West and Northwest,
which is said to be holding back the
crop in those sections; the freezing
temperature in the Canadian North
west, which, il is said. has prevented
seeding in many sections, and the
damage said to have been done in the
Southwest by the Unsuitable appetite
of the green bug also aided the rush
upwards
