Early Dope Wins Pennant
For Montgomery PYetzels

Montgomery, January S.-(Special.)-
That no expense is spared to give Mont
gomery the best ball team in the South
ern league is evidenced by the statement
of President r. J. Chambers that $l750
has been spent in a week for new players.
which, however, is only small part of
the money thus put out in the search for
and purchase of new players. Ryan will
take no chances on a wait to the last
moment, but is starting out with enough
good ones to furnish a field of rich pick
ings when the final day of selection is
reached.
Several contracts are now on the desk
of President Chambers for approval by
Secretary Farrell That of Sam Weems.

HISTORIC FLAG IS
SOLD AT AUCTION
J. p. MORGAN is SAID TO BE THE
PURCHASER OF THE FLAG THAT
ONCE FLoATED ON THE cHEsA-
PEAkE'S MAST.

London, January 30-The flag of tho
American man-of-war Chesapeake and
the "Balaklava bugle." two of the most
valuable war relics of a collection of
antiquities that belonged to the late c. G.
Middlebrook. were secured today at the
auction sale Of the collection for Amer
lean buyers. The Chesapeake flag was
captured in the fight with the British
ship Shannon in 1913, and there was good
bidding for the faded and torn piece of
bunting, the authenticity of which is
vouched for in a written history of
ownership since Midshipman Grundy of
the Royal navy came into possession of
the trophy, nearly a century ago. The
flag was sold for $3.50 to a London art
dealer, who also purchased the bugle for
$500. 1t was upon this instrument that
the order to the famous light brigade TO
charge at the battle of Balaklava was
sounded. The dealer admitted that these
highly interesting curosities had been
purchased by him for different parties in
America. but more than this he would
not say. There was a rumor that he was
acting for Cornelius Vanderbilt, but this
WIS SQDStdDlldlly Q6Hleu anu L<ohNOh
does not yet know into whose hands the
flag and the bugle have fallen.
When the time came today to put up
the flag the auction room was so crowded
that many persons were unable to obtain
admission. AS soon as the sale was
made. after spirited bidding, there were
loud calls in the auction room of docs
it remain in England?'
This being answered in the affirmative
by someone who did not know that the
English dealer was acting for an Amer
lean there was at once an outburst of
loud cheering. This was quickly quoted,
however. when the purchaser corrected
the mistake.
1t has been understood that the Amer
lean government had intended to make a
bid for the Chesapeake flag, but 1t was
later decided from Washington to leave
the matter of the purchase In the hands
of patriotic societies or private citizens.
According to the Tribune the Chesa-
peake flag goes to ]. P. Morgan.

DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED.
Amusement Is Created Over Debate
On House Policemen.

Washington, January 30.-The urgent
deficiency appropriation bill was passed
by the House today The total amount
carried by it is $23,664 45O, or $4,000 less
than as reported by the committee. The
largest single reduction was that of $780,
900 in the clothing fund of the army
When the session was resumed today.
only few pages of the bill remained 10
be disposed Of Included in these was a
provision for the appointment of "a add-
tional policemen for the new House office
building. Chairman Tawney urged the
provision because of the necessity for
protecting such costly government prop
erty and of guarding the reputation and
honor OF the members"
Mr.. Mann of Illinois opposed the pro-
vision, and 1t was stricken out on a point
OF order after considerable discussion.
An animated debate arose over the para
graph of the bill providing for the APP
pointment of "a policemen for the new
House office building. In pursuance of
his policy of attacking new Legislation on
appropriation, Mr.. Mann maintained that
that number of men was not needed. Mr..
Tawney strongly defended the provision
because, he said, the men were needed
not only to KEEP the peace, "but guard the
reputation and honor of the members.
Mr.. Gaines of Tennessee amused the
House when he exclaimed
What in the name of God will the peo-
pie think of us members?'
He said it would be better to have a
criminal court in the building, and be
done with it. If police had to be appoint
ed he thought the number should be re-
duced, and the men who get the places
"should be given dark lanterns and hicl-
DRY sticks, and be made to walk and
not sit"
Mr.. Tawney interrupted to inquire If Mr..
Gaines would appoint the reduced num-
Der suggested by him from Tennessee.
II can take half dozen from Tennes-
see and make even this House behave'
retorted Mr.. Gaines, amid general laugh
ter.
Gould they make you behave?" voice
was heard to say. but Mr.. Gaines either
did not care to reply to the question or
1t was lost to him In the laughter which
followed.
Mr.. Fitzgerald of New York ironically
referred to the number of policemen at
the White House, and said they num-
bered 90. but Mr. Mann said he could see
the distinction between guarding the ma
TONS chief executive and a public build
ing that was occupied most of the time
The provision finally was stricken from
the bill on point of order by Mr.. Jones
of Washington.
The bill was then passed.

than he received last. 1t is matter of
record that he was the best paid man on
the 1907 team, with no record to Justify 1t,
III the opinion of President Chambers. He
will have to play cheaper than year
ago, or take the chances that come to
a man held by a club but not willing to
play. In other words the Moose" must
play at the figure offered him or be sold
where the management thinks best. 1t Is
said that he has been very busy with the
directors in an effort to get his old salary
retained. Baxter is a good player, very
fast and very popular and can keep the
pace if he will, it is thought. For that
reason his work of last year was sur
prise to those who have kept line on
him.
The Montgomery team has money in
the bank, can buy any player 1t desires
and is in such shape as to be entirely
independent. This is result of the bust
ness Judgment of the last season when
men were sold that were sure to be taken
away and when everything possible was
done to cut down the closing seasons ex-
penses. I'VE are fixed with the money
to get what we want and who we can
said President Chambers. Mr.. Chambers
also says that work now being done on
the grounds will make them the best in
the circuit the coming season. They are
being graded and rolled, with a covering
of sand to make them smooth.

CHINESE PAPER IN TROUBLE.
Competitors Quit and Others Cannot
Be Found.

New York, January 3o-There is trouble
in the office of the Chinese Reform News,
the only paper printed in Chinese in New
York. Sometime ago some of the COM
positors of the paper lost their jobs, and
now the immigration authorities have re-
fused to allow new compositors imported
from China to enter the country. Their
coming would, it is claimed, violate both
the exclusion and contract labor laws.
Setting type on a Chinese paper is not an
easy job, and even in China compositors
are difficult to obtain. In an ordinary
newspaper several thousands characters
are used, and it is, of course. hopeless
to expect that anyone but Cinnamon, and
a well educated Chinaman at that, can
ever fill the position. The editor of the
paper is appealing to the authorities to al
low his men entrance to the country, and
hopes that some loophole In the law may
be found.

1STS AMONG THE POLITICAL
MALcoNTENTs, AND SEVERAL
LEADERS ARE SoNED.

Lisbon, January 30.-For the purpose of
patch is sent to the frontier for trans.
mission:
Lisbon is outwardly calm, but there is
a steady increase of nervousness and ex-
citement among all classes of the popula
ton, owing to the constant rumors of
plot and counterpart and the persistent
activity of the police, who daily and
nightly examine the houses of suspects
and make arrests. On the night of Janu-
airy Is there was bloody fight in a small
restaurant on the outskirts of Lisbon.
Suspecting the presence of a crowd of
consprators the police aides raided the
restaurant. The authorities were right in
their surmise and they found the plotters
armed with revolvers.
The policemen were met by volley Of
bullets and one of them was killed and
four were wounded. The conspirators
managed to keep the guardians of the law
and order at bay until they made their
escape. Later the same night score of
suspected agitators were arrested and i'm
prisoned in one of the fortresses.
There is almost a reign of terror among
the republicans and the dissident progress
sists and several of the leaders Of these
narties. INCLUDING Deputy Almerdia, ex-
Deputy Costa and Viscount Roberta have
been thrown into prison. The house Of
senior Alpoin, another Of tho dissident
leaders. is under constant police surveil-
lance.

ANOTHER NEW YORK
BANK In TROUBLE
RUN is MADE ON THE ORIENTAL
BANK, A STATE INSTITUTION,
AND THE PRESIDENT HOPES TO
WEATHER THE STORM.

New York, January 9O.-President Hugh
Kelly of the Oriental bank, state in
sttution, which withstood a run today,
gave out a statement tonight that he be-
lieved the bank would open tomorrow for
business. A meeting of the directors will
be held early tomorrow morning, he add
ed, at which the question of opening
will be definitely determined. The an
nouncement was made after a meeting
of the president and several of the di-
rectors of the Oriental bank at the for
mer's home.
Following the closing last night of the
New Amsterdam National, and the Me-
chanlcs and Traders, state bank, there
was a run on the Oriental bank during
the day, which it successfully wthstood.
All depositors were paid promptly DUR
ing the day and it was given out at
the close that the bank would be able
to secure all the assistance necessary to
tide 1t over the run. as it was under
stood that friends of President Kelly had
come to his aid with 81, 900, 00O and that
he would be able to secure further as
sistance If needed from the clearing
house.
Just before midnight President Kelly
said:
81 am unable to state tonight other
than my personal belief, which is that
I think the bank will open tomorrow
morning for business, but the meeting of
the directors of the banking house will
decide the matter one way or the other.
Much will depend on the banks clearing
house debit tomorrow morning"
Several depositors who had not been
paid off at the close of the banking hours
today had representatives waiting in line
outside the banks doors throughout the
night tonight to keep their places for
them. The temperature lowered around
degrees above zero and the walters
suffered severely from the cold. The ORR
entail bank is state institution, capital
lied at $4,000 and previous to the panic
last fall carried individual deposits of
81. $4,000, but this has been largely re-
ducsd during and since the panic.
