Don't you think man ought to tell
his wife all about his business affairs"
Il should say not. A friend of mine
who was about to start ON journey bor-
rowed $50 from a rich old uncle and then

sea, crushed in a railway collision, or
something of that sort, and when his wife
collected his life insurance, of course, she
felt bound to pay back that loan"

AN UGLY CHARGE MADE.
HAROLD LEPER IN TROUBLE
1t is Alleged That the Youngster Shot
at George Hodapp-On Account of
Previous Offense Reform School is
Likely.

After having faced the juvenile
court on two previous occasions and
having been shown clemency in both
it is very probable that Harold Leper,
a thirteen year old colored boy, will
be sent to the reform school, on the
third charge which was brought
against him yesterday by the police.
Young Leper was charged with
shooting in the direction of George
Hodapp, an employe at Shofer's iiv-
cry barn, and notwithstanding the
pleas of the boy that the gun acciden-
tally went off and the statement of
the employees of the livery barn that
the shooting was accidental, the po-
lice will probably presen evidence of
such strength as to send the lad to the
reform school.
The boy resides with his uncle, Da
vid Baker, on South Sixth street.

JUSTICE FITZGERALD ORDERS

New York. Jan. T. - 1t is believed
tonight that the trial of Harry Kendall
Thaw, of Pittsburg, charged with the
murder of Stanford White, may be
transferred from New Yok to some ru-
raj couny owing to the fact that it
viii be. considerable of a task to Sc
cure jury in this county that would
be unprejudiced.
The first move for a change was
made today when counsel for Thaw
appeared before supreme court JUS
tice Fitzgerald to oppose a motion of
assistant district Attorney Francis p.
Garvin for the drawing of a special
penal of 200 jurymen to try Thaw.
They declared many erroneous state
ments had recently been printed in
Connection with the case, the object
being to prejudice public opinion
against Thaw.
Justice Fitzgerald Immediately or
dered the attorneys to make affidavit
to this fact and serve copy on the
district attorney after which he
promised to consider the matter.

Councilman Deuker following the

the suggestion of the mayor was "a
good one and ought TO be needed. but
owing TO the present low condition OF

wise to make the improvements at
this time. Mr.. Deuker. however. went
on record as favoring the repairing OF
the old market house, or even build
ing a new one when more money was
Councilman VonPein in speaking of
the matter said that the old building
should be torn down and new one
built and in view of this he lid not
think it wise to appropriate money at

ter adjournment said that the present
market facilities were poor, and they
favored the building OF new market
house such as the city needs. One CT

kets of indianapolis and Dayton and
could not help but feel impressed, in
comparing them with the Richmond
market house He said he felt asham-
ed of our present market house and
general facilities and was strongly in
favor of rebuilding new South Side
market house as well as providing
better facilities In the East End. he

ter of admitting the Tri-state league

agreement was taken up today by the
national commission and after two
hours of deliberation an agreement
was drawn up under which the form
er outlaws were legitimatized. The

be allowed to play with any clubs ex-
cepting those of the Tri-state league.
Players from the Tri-state, except con-
tract jumpers, who have signed con-
tracts with national agreement clubs,
are to remain the property of the
clubs that last signed them. All maj
or league players in the Trl-state
league, who are not contract jumpers,
are to revert to the clubs having title
to them.

the Tri-state league, was taken under
advisement by the commission and

schedule committee tomorrow to try
to avoid conflicting dates, etc.
The case of James Callahan, of the
Chicago Americans, was not consid-
