national militia, and a prince elected by
the people and confirmed by Turkey
with Europes consent. Ferdinand was
elected prince in 1891. He has always

Dreytus and

In Vote on Tie.
Board in Session to Finally
Decide the Famous Giants
Cubs Game.

CINCINNATI. Oct. "a meeting OF
the Board Of Directors OF the National
League Is being held here to-day to
consider the protests OF the New York
and Chicago clubs with reference to
the disputed game of Sept. % played
at the Polo Grounds in New York City.
The Board consists Of Messrs. Her
mann, of Cincinnati. Dreyfus, OF Pitts
burg: Murphy. OF Chicago; Ebbets. OF
Brooklyn. and Dewey. Of Boston. All
IRE present, but Murphy Is barred from
taking part In the meeting because his
club is interested in the controversy
under consideration.
Umpires O'Day and Emslie, who OFF,
ciated at the questioned game. were on
hand to present their evidence in per-
son.
Adjournment was taken till after
noon, but before doing so Murphy and
Dreyfus were eliminated from the vot-
ing on the ground that they were in
terested parties. This matter was dis.
cussed at considerable length. but IL
was felt that there should be no
shadow Of interest among those who
would be called on to to decide the
contested game.
When john T, Brush. president OF the
New York Baseball Club, was asked
about the story thaa he would bring a
civil suit in case the National League
directors decided against him In the
contest for the New York Chicago tie
game in New York, he said that he
refused TO discuss that subject until
after, the, directors had announced their
decision"

MRS. HAMS WILL
Be A WITNESS IN
CAPTAINS TRIAL
Prosecutor Returns From In
tervieW With Her as Grand
Jury Takes Up Case.
FIGHT OVER CHILDREN.
Mrs. Hains'S Lawyer Fails to
Appear To-Day, But May
Take Ii Up Later.
FIGHT OVER CHILDREN.

The case against Capt. Peter c.
Hams jr and his brother. T. Jenkine
Hams, for killing William E. Annis
came to life again to-day. These were
the developments:
The October Grand Jury OF Queens
County which is to indict the Hams
brothers, was sworn in by Justice Gar.
retson in Flushing, and went into
session after listening to the charges
of the Court in the County Courthouse
at Long Island City.
District-Attorney Darr!n. Of Queens
returned from Boston, where he had a
long talk yesterday with Mrs. Peter c
Hams, as a result of which she will
probably appear as a witness for the
prosecution in the trials Of both the
accused men.
Counsel for Mrs. Peter c. Halns de-
faulted in the Kings County Supreme
Court in a motion for the custody OF
the Hams children, alimony and coun-
sci fees by failing to file, at the ap-
pointed time, an affidavit setting forth
The claims OF Mrs. Hams.
News PIeases Hainses.
The news that the affidavit of Mrs
Hams had not been filed was received
with qualification by the lawyers for
the defense OF the Hams brothers. Gen.
Peter c. Hams said at the office OF
John F. Mcintyre:
Il do not think the affidavit will be
filed in advance of the trial of my
sons. Why, in her affidavit Mrs. Hams
even accused me of threatening to
shoot Annis on sight. In another
place In her afiidavlts she swears that
she was drugged when she made her
confession of her relations with Annis
to my son and me and remembers
nothing about it. Now, II she was
drugged at the time she made the con-
fession and cannot recall what hap
pened there, how can she accuse me
of making threats against the life of
Annis. when l did not see her after
that occasion and would have had no
cause to make any such threats be-
fore"
The October Grand Jury OF Queens
County has little business before 1t
outside of the Hams cases. Nearly all
the routine accumulate during the
summer was disposed of by the special
Grand Jury which was discharged last
week.
Not to Go Before Grand Jury.
District-Attorney Darrin does not ex-
pect to use Mrs. eter c. Hams or Mrs.
Annis as witnesses before the Grand
Jury. He looks to establish for the
purpose of indictment simply that An
mis- was murdered by Cent. Hams with
malice aforethought and that T. Jen-
kins Hams was an accessory before
during and after the fact.
The default of Mrs. Hains's counsel
in the Brooklyn Supreme Court to-day
in the matter of fling an affidavit does
not mean that the attempt of the wife
OF Capt Hams to collect allmony and
counsel fees in the divorce suit and Sc
cure the custody of her children has
been abandoned. 1t may be renewed at
any time.
