PENNzLEAGUE ENDS
WITH GAMES OF TODAY
For the Present Year, AS Decided at
at Meeting Held in
Pittsburg.

Today marks the finish of the
season for the Western Pennsylvania
Baseball eague.
This was determined at meeting
of the managers of the six clubs of
the league held in the Dispatch Au-
ditorium in Pittsburg yesterday af-
ternoon. After considering the con-
ditton of four of the clubs which
were found to be in very wobbly
shape, it was thought best to shorten
the season by winding it up with ne
games scheduled for today.
All of the franchises were award
ed to the present holders for next
year with the exception of the
Greensburg franchise which will be
retained by the league and very
likely placed in Greensburg under a
new management next year.
President Welch. of the Clarks-
burg club who attended the meet
ing. was informed that he could not
take Short Stop ELAN and Third
Baseman Birmingham. of the Con-
nellsville team. until the close of
the season but could then, providing
satisfactory arrangements are made
with those players.
The Clarksburg team will be
maintained for some time yet and a
number of fine exhibition games Twill
be arranged for by the MANAGEMENT.

ADAM ANGRY
At Democratic Papers For Not Re-
ceiving Him With Wide
Open Arms.

Senator Adam Littlepage, who
came here from Charleston to fur
ther his campaign for the Democratic
nomination for governor by giving
out an interview that there were diff
terences between employers and en-
ployees in this State, has twenty
threed back home, having failed to
cause a stampede to his cause. He
IS enraged at some OF the leading
Democratic papers in this section
for not encouraging his campaign
and in an interview takes whack
at them, charging them with not be-
ing truly Democratic But, then
Littlepage does not constitute the
whole Democratic party and papers
of that political faith do not feel it
their duty to pick him out and carry
him around on their shoulders as the
only real Democrat. AS the Tele-
gram said Adam went home sadder
but wiser, having failed completely
to arouse the slightest interest in his
candidacy for the Democratic nom
ination for governor. Facing such
a cool reception. Litlepage will
doubtless lose hope of receiving the
nomination and will likely retire
from the race before he even gets
fairly in It,

with his empty revolver. Police
man John Nelson off duty, ran
from his home nearby and chased
him as far as Mills's store in Broad

To the Public:
The statement in Saturdays News

come down to the hotel as he wanted
to see me. 1 went down and he said
he had been accQsted by two men
on Fourth street Just south of the
street car depot. He said they stop

they would get him all the men they
wanted. He said he told them that
ne did not want anyfof their assis-

asked me if there was any danger of
being assaulted here on the street.

Self Government at This Time Dan
 gerous but Ultimately Possible.

Boston, Dec. SO.-Progress in the Philippines, political, educational, and sanitary, all tending toward ultimate government. was the basis of the address of William H. Taft, secretary of war, before 400 Boston ministers this forenoon.
 Secretary Taft spent considerable time in refuting the arguments of the so-called anti-imperialists the major ity of whose advocates, he seemed to think, belonged in Boston. He said that with only per cent of the in habitants of the Philippines sufficient fly educated to understand self-govern- ment, it would be dangerous to give the islands over at this time. He placed ultimate self-government not earlier than a generation or perhaps two of them.
 He said that great progress had been made in the last five years, but that the movement of education was held back by lack of funds.
