THE GRIDIRON
All Waterburys Make a Final Prop.
 o,ition to the All Brooklyn O., Team. ... -~

The match between the All-Wa- terburys and the ,Brooklyns has not yet been arranged, although it was understood that both teams had agreed to meet on Thanksgiving day. Managers Lawlor and Dunphy will meet this evening in Bauby's cigar store and will try and come to some agreement Manager Lawlor sent in word to the Democrat office this morning that he was willing to make the match, but only on the follow ing terms. He will play Brooklyns for $100 side bet or as much more of bet as they may desire, winner to take the side bet and the entire gate receipts. If however Manager Dunphy believes there should be a losing end, he will play for the win ner to take the side bet and seventy five per cent of the gate receipts, giving the loser twenty-five per cent Under no conditions, he says, will he agree to split the gate receipts. That seems to be very fair proposition. The first one is even better than the second. for the winner will get everything and as both sides arc confident of being declared the vic tor, there should be no hesitation on the part of any manager in accepting such terms.
 The All-Waterburys were out for practice last night and George Multi gan was in the lineup on one of the ends. He will undoubtedly be tried out in that position in the game Sunday down in Bridgeport The team will leave here Sunday morning and will go to Captain Bonds place in Stratford, where they will Timber up little in preparation for the game with the Acorns in Bridgeport in the afternoon.

Rear Admiral Converse Reports the
Result of His Investigation
of Naval Vessels,

Washington, Feb. S.-Admiral Con
verse today submitted TO Secretary
Metcalf a report on the results of his
investigation into the recently pub
lished criticisms Of the designs of
American naval vessels.
Admiral Converse answers in great
detail every charge 1t is not probable
that the report will be made public I'M
til the president has had an opportuni-
ty to read ii, If then. 1t may be stat
ed, however, that the report under
takes to demonstrate as clearly as fig
ures, comparisons of foreign navies
and scale drawings can establish the
fact. that the fighting ships of the
their design the best ships in the
world of their class. and that they are
today comparable on even terms with
the ships of any other navy. 1t Is de-
clared in the report that everything
that human forethought on the part of
intelligent and highly trained naval Of
ticers could do to insure this result is
shown TO have been done by the vet
eran naval officers who perfected the
designs for the vessels of the new
navy. Few, if any, of the objections
which have been found by later-day
critics were unknown to the designers
of the ships, who considered them
while the plans were being prepared,
which, it is said. represented the neces-
sary compromise between extreme
views of different schools of cOnstruc-
ton.

conspiracy cases now on trial at Har-
risburg, today made emphatic denial
that he was in any way connected with
an alleged "whitewash'' of persons ac-
cused of having committed frauds in

while attorney general, was directed by
Governor Pennypacker to investigate
the charges of fraud. During his inquiry
he received written statements from all
the men accused, denying the charges
of irregularities. During crOss-exam-

assistant to Architect Huston. testified

Remarkable Work Of Gun Crews Of
the Cruiser Maryland at
Target Practice,

Santa Barbara, Cal, Feb. S.-A new
worlds record at target practice by
the cruiser Maryland at Magdalena
bay. is reported by Stewart Edward
White, who has just returned from
there on a collier. The days average
of the Maryland was eight and forty
one-hundredths SAD hits per minute,
while steaming in battle formation at
ten knots. The shots were fired at q
target twelve by twenty-One feet at
LOO yards. The record of Sal hits per
gun per minute was made as the
Maryland, with other ships in battle
formation, steamed past the target and
returned. firing first from one side and
then from the other. 1t was an aver
age for the entire day. for the whole
battery of about thirty six-inch guns.
One of the guns on the Maryland
made an average of 1855 hits per min
ste. which is very close to the world s
record for d single gun. The worlds
battery fire record was broken. All
loading was done by hand, each shell
weighing 103 pounds and each
charge of powder eighty-five pounds.
The loading drills occupy four or five
hours each day regularly.
The four ships now AT Magdalena
under command of Admiral Dayton
will return soon to San Francisco
without stops on the way. The other
ships will remain at Magdalend bay
for the present.

OIL COMPANIES TROUBLES.
Outfit Near Fillmore 1t Attached by
Employees.

Especial TO The Herald.J
Fillmore Feb. S.-A decided setback was
given the oil industry here today. when
all the equipment belonging to the Bak-
ersfield-Utah Oil company was attached
by the employees that have not been paid
their wages for sinking the well near this
place.
The drilling has practically been aban-
doned for some time past and the rep
resentatives of the company who did the
employing and contracted for the sup
plies, etc, have made their disappearance
from here one at time, and their pres
ent whereabouts are unknown.
The company is owing a great number
of citizens of this place for furnishing
wood. hauling water, provisions and work
performed in drilling the well.
Most of these people who performed the
labor and furnished supplies are men of
families and it causes much hardship to
them.
The amount due them is $1,000 or more
and the outlook is very discouraging TO
them.
The derrick, casing and some of the
oil lands are being attached today. and
no doubt litigation will be the result OF
this procedure.
The Kearns oil well again resumed
oneTations today. and the prospects for
a successful well, according to indlca-
tons. are very flattering.
