of the journal the explosion came.
Lawrence of Cache county arose TO
a question of personal privilege and
gave the details of an attempt to
bride him. Then there was an up
roar; investigation was demanded.
and the upshot of it all was that the
legislature adjourned without elect
ing senator.
Calhoun was familiar with all this.
He was also familiar with the gov
ernor's reasons for not filling the va
cancy. One of these was political;
the other was personal. The vacan-
cy, so long as it existed, would ad-
vertise the incompetency of the OPP
position; the governors own chances
for seat i'll the senate would be
doubled If there were two seats to
be filled at the end of his term as
chief executive.
No better party man lived than
Horace p. Calhoun. He recalled the
fight that Chall's Randolph, as presi-
dent of the senate, made to secure
the election to the United States
Senate of Judge Warwick J. Oliver
He knew of the close relations ex-
listing between the two men. He saw
it all. The appointment of Oliver
now would carry CONSERVATION into
the ranks of the party in power 1t
would also give Randolph and Oliver

When The Governor Left The State

the members of the supreme court,
all the state officials and all the party
leaders were on the way to meet the
President and escort him to the city.
Thousands had assembled at the sta
ton to yell God speed as the special
train pulled out Bulletins were to
be sent back reporting progress.
Waiting patriots were to know the ex-
act minute when the President and
the Governor elapsed hands in Chey-
enne; booming cannon were to an
nounce the entrance of the President
into the state; pandemonium was to
greet the President on his arrival.
Mayor Roylance, who never made a
speech in his life, was to present the
President with key to the city made
of solid gold.
Perfect weather was guaranteed.
On the surface not speck threat
ened to mar the glory of the coming
great day. And yet, even in human
affairs, it is the unexpected that so
often happens.

Chapter II.

The special train bearing Governor
Sharp and his party was still plung-
ing eastward over the barren street
ches of Wyoming when Judge War
wick ]. Oliver and Challs Randolph
met on the principal street corner
of the capital. 1t would be difficult
to present stronger physical con-
trast-the judge grizzled, dry and re-
fined; Randolph rough, burly and
out-spoken. The men were still ex-
changing greetings when they were
joined by Lawrence O'Neil. From
light talk the tree drifted into earn
est discussion.
Calhoun of the Times, on the op-
posite side of the street, had his at
tention called to the discussion.
There's hen on here" he confided
to himself. "When Oliver, the states
man out of job; Randolph, presi.
dent of the state sena,e; and O'Neil,
the state chairman of the Opposi-
ton, get their heads so close together
there is trouble in the air for some
one. I'll just keep an eye on that
trio"
When the three politicians passed
down the street and entered the Roy
al the newspaperman followed them.
They were seating themselves at "a
table in retired nook and still in an
earnest whispered discussion as he
entered. He took a seat near the
door.
Hello, Cal; you're around early.
What will it be today?"-this from
young fellow in white apron who
stepped up.
Hello, yourself, joe" was the re-
spouse. "What will I have? Well
now, between you and me, Joe, what
l would like better than anything
else in this world just at this minute
would be to know what the three
guys in the corner are talking about.

An Historical Story, by M. F. Cum
ningham.
Chapter I.

of the empire state of the west. The
President of the United States, the
idol OF the west, was to be the guest
of the city. Already the blare of the
horn and the explosion of the cracker
gave promise of what was to come.
Everywhere there was hustle and
rush and excitement In the armory
members of the guard were FURNISH
ing their trappings. In thousand
homes fair daughters were arming
for the conquest.
There was to be a parade in the
morning, and such a parade! Few
since the beginning Of time would
compare with it. The soldiers from
the fort, the national guard, the gov
ernor and his staff, the fire depart
ment, the police department, the
civic organizations,--all were to be
in line. But best of all, casting all
else into the shadow, the Rough Rid
ers, the cowboys and the Bannock
Indians were to swoop down upon
the city. From the ranches, the hills
and the plains within a radius of
hundred miles they were coming in
countless numbers.
o, it was to be glorious! All the
stores were to close. Citizens were
to be packed to the point of suffoca-
ton for blocks and blocks on Main
street. Flags, banners and colored
lights were already in place. The
President in an open carriage
was to ride the full length of the
line Of march that all loyal citizens
might greet him with a cheer
Even on the day before the re-
viewing stand in front of the state
house was gorgeous with the nation
al colors. There the school children,
twelve thoL 4 strong, were to be
banked in IL, form of colors of the
American flag, and there they were
to sing america" for their Presi-
dent. There also, in an open spac.
in font, the Rough Riders, the cow
boys and the Bannocks were to give
their President an exhibition of wild
life on the plains.
In the afternoon-but this was no,
on the printed programme-the Presi-
dent was to steal away for a sur
reptitious mad dash with the Rough
Riders through the country. The
dinner at the home of Senator Keith's
was to be exclusive. The party was
to include but twenty of the leading
men and women of the state. In the
evening the great auditorium was to
be jammed to the doors-the Presi-
dent was to speak. The great organ
was to belch forth "Hail to the Chief
at the opening of the meeting, and the
whole great audience was to join in
the "Star Spangled Banner" at the
close.
Little sleep for the capital this
night! Already Governor Sharp and

SOulu appoint HIM IL you hdu tiiS
nerve"
Appoint him if he had the nerve
Appoint who? Appoint to what Of
flee? What power of appointment
did Challis Randolph possess? True
he was still president of the state
senate, but what did that amount to.
Long and hard did Calhoun puzzle
over this while his coffee grew cold
and friends passed in and out I'M
noticed Then like flash came an
inspiration. He ran for his den in
the Times office and pulled out his
copy of the state statutes. He was
right. There it was, not in the stat
utes but in the state constitutions:
an case of the death of the gov
ernor, or his impeachment, removed
rom office, inability to discharge the
duties of his office, resignation or
absence from the state the power
and duties of such office shall de-
volve upon the secretary of state I'M
It'll the disability shall cease, or I'M
til the next general election, when the
vacancy shall be filled by election
If, during the vacancy in the office
of governor, the secretary of the
state resign, die or become incapable
of performing the duties of tile office.
Or be displaced, or be absent from
the state, the president protempore
shall act as governor until the vacan-
cy be filled or the disability cease"
Challis Randolph was governor of
the state with power to appoint a
United States Senator to fill the va
cancy!
Calhoun broke into a cold perspir-
alton as the full significance of this
dawned upon him. Governor Sharp
and Secretary of State McLennon
were both out of the state, thus af-
fording the Opposition an opportuni-
ty for coup that would upset his
:arty in the state, and throw a COM
plete wet blanket on the reception to
the President.
Still greater things were at stake.
The tariff bill was hanging in the
balance in the senate in Washington
and one vote added to the Opposition
at this time might mean a complete
rout for the national administration
Calhoun knew that it was these things
that Oliver, Randolph and O'Neil
were discussing in the Royal. He
knew, too, that action would not be
long delayed. These were not the
men to let such an opportunity slip.
The circumstances leading up to
this crisis were not to the credit of
the Opposition. 1t had an overwhelm-
ing majority in the previous legisla-
ture as result of the silver issue
A United States Senator was to be
chosen. Oliver, the Judge; Prince,
the orator, and McGraw, the mining
magnate, were the leading candidates.
The party split into three factions.

NURSING HIS ARM.

Holyoke, Jan S.-Louis Barbour, the third baseman, whom the Holyoke club loaned to New London last sea son, is located this winter in Lafay- ette. Ind. He is employed as a con tract agent for telephone company. Barbour writes friends here that he is exercising his arm daily and expects to have the whip in fine shape when the gong calls him back to the dia- mond next spring.
 Barbour started off we'll last season, but the cold breezes got grip on his throwing wing and he was handi- capped ali season. At times he played brilliantly at third base, but his principal fault was his inability to heave correctly to first base after making a stop at the dizzy corner. If his arm rounds into condition, he should be able to put up strong game next season and fill an infeld position acceptably.

Guess they must have thought it was q baseball game they were going to play" said fan last night. Some of the mem bers of the Hartford team were wrathy over New Britain's action. The rules do not provide for any post ponement on account of rain. Some of the bowlers thought the matter looked like collusion or double cross or something like that The New Haven team rolled few balls down the alleys and the umpire awarded the three games to them. Richard Herman Kirsche, who is the manager of the Hartford team, is very conser- vatiye and he said he was unable to say last night whether any action would be taken or not. He will proo- ably be asked to have the case brought up at q league meeting as some of the bowlers are in favor of throwing New Britain out of the league and awarding the franchise to some other town The standing is as follows:

EWRY REFUTES CHARGES.
Matthew p. Halpin's Accusations
 Against Jumper Fall Flat.

New York. Jan. s. The charges made by Matthew r. Halpin accusing Raymond c. Ewry, the champion ,tanding jumper of the world, with methods affecting his amateur status, fell flat at hearing before the regis tration committee of the metropolitan district of the Amateur Athletic union.
 After these charges had fallen through, Halpin's spokesman, Albert Copeland, preferred charges against Howard V. Valentine of the New York Athletic club, and they, too, were un- substantiated Decision in each case was reserved.
 When the meeting was called Halpin was asked to give specific instances of how Ewry violated the A. A. U. rules He stated that Ewry gave an exhibition at circus at Atlantic City on Aug. 24, 1907, that he had received a prize for giving an exhibition at the Twenty-second regiment games on Nov. 30, 1902, that he had received . prize not allowed by the A. A. U. for giving an exhibition at the Twenty third regiment games last year and that he had received a prize for exhib- iting at a meet at Paterson, N. J.

POLO NOTES.
That was fast enough.

That was fast enough.
 Nothing could stop us last night.
 The fans who came out last night were thoroughbreds.
 Pretty tough to beat Boston the first time the team appeared but we had to do it.
 Providence comes here tomorrow night and as she is our next door neighbor, we will have to cut her acquaintance by whipping her good. It is long time until the middle of April and it is good betting that Waterbury will not be in the last position at that time. Up the ladder we go now with a rush. If we had John Wiley here we would beat you to a frazzle," said "Gussie" Hart last night, as he saw Waterbury running away from them. All the Wileys in the world couldn t stop that pace.
 How much odds would you give that Tim Murnane and Jake Morse don't get finger in that Boston polo pie if things run along successfully? The odds should be about 100 to a plugged nickel.
 Here's hoping that Boston makes a good debut in her home city this evening. If they want polo up that way they certainly have got the best there is. They have the leading team and all good chaps as we'll. Sutherland was right on his job last evening and he needed to be Only the brilliant work in front of the cage by that chap saved Boston from worse defeat. He took them from every angle and at all kinds of speed.
 Pretty tough on Georgie Bone lose that overtime game in his own city last night. The New Haven re- ports say that Sam Simmons opened his mouth as wide as a melon and shrieked, Well done, good and faith. full boys" when Jason made the win. ming goal.
 Poor Bill Peet, if Boston proves successful he will have cause to shed many tears. Ousted from the presi. dency, disappointed in securing a team, robbed of his franchise, he cer. tainly will have cause to shed a copious flow. Never mind Bill wait for baseball.
 Eighteen years ago the roller polo league in this section had five teams They were about evenly matched and the fans saw some good polo. The players were: New Haven, Connors Newcombe. rushers; Hill. center; Phelan, halfback; Reed, goal. Hart. ford. Smith. Sealy, rushers; Cotter center; Turnbull. halfback; Nc. Carthy, goal; Springfield Roberts McPeck. rushers; Murray. center: Canavan. halfback: Riley, goal Bridgeport. Pierce. Menard, rushers; Williams, center; Conway, halfback Smith. goal.

ATHLETES GET BUSY.
Holy Cross Track and Basketball
 Squads Resume Work.

Worcester, Mass, Jan S.-With the return of the students Monday morn ing to Holy Cross, the gymnasium took on busy look, as both the basketball and track candidates were called out for practice. The first meet for the track team will be the E. A. A. games in Boston in February. Although prac- tice was held off and on during the last term, only the most enthusiastic candidates were out and little real in- terest was shown. With Mondays call. however, hard work will be the programme for the candidates during the next four weeks.
 A large squad put in an appear ance. Candidates for the distance runs were paired off in one squad and sent on a three-quarter mile jog. This squad included Hassett, Daly, Jones, Decker, Gaffney, Coggswell, Donovan, O'Connell and Lynch. The quarter milers and sprinters formed the other squad, and after a few fast starts, were sent on sharp quarter-mile jaunt. The latter squad was headed by Captain Foley, and included Rotch- ford, Sullivan, Mains, Ryan, Sheehan, Shaw and Lawlor. Several dual meets are in view. and general revival of track interest is looked for. However, though the material for the runs looks good. there are no field men in sight, not even a jumper of known ability. Coach smith is not discouraged, but has hopes of developing a couple of dark horses for possible points. But for the present his whole attention will be centered on the relay team, as he wants to send worthy delegation to the B. A. A. games.
 The basketball squad has put in some practice The team is little out of shape. on account of disbanding during the holidays. but little prac- tice should get them in early season form.
 Practice for the baseball team can not be started until the midyear ex- aminations close. The written tests are now over, but oral quizzes are in order later in the month, and unul these come off there will he no work for the baseball men. All students who fail in these mid-year exams are ineligible for athletic competition. and when the results Of them are known there will probably be several possible candidates on the blacklist.
 Tom Seanlon. the former Holy Cross athlete. who played fullback for Fortlham this year against his former teammates. was a visitor at college Monday. He said he would return to Holy Cross at once if he would be eligible for the baseball team. but as he canont pass the new scholarship re- auirements. he will 20 out for the Fordham nine instead. He announced that he wOu.,. return to Holy Cross next fall if he was then able to make the necessary class.

STATE LEAGUE AVERAGES.

The fight in the State Bowling league is a remarkable one in that any of the first five teams are liable to jump into unexpected prominence almost any minute. The first half of the Connecticut league is completed. New Haven holding down first place by one game. The interest in this league is becoming more and more intense and is considered the most evenly contested and best league ever organized.
 Jimmie Watt still leads in individ- ual average. his mark being 195.12. Lewis is second in line with an av- craze of 1863. Charlie Johnson, cap- tain of the New Haven five. is third with an average of 1861. Jimmie Watt of Bridgeport holds the high three string record with a score of 671. Redfeld is honor man for high single with PTS.

The Ivys have succeeded the Sec ond Wards in the amateur league and they stacked up against the fast South End team last night in the preliminary game. The new name proved a Jonah to the Ivys. just as did the new name Boston in the big game. The South Ends were too fast and speedy for them and won as they wished. One of the goals cred tied to the South Ends was made by Foley of the Ivys. who kicked it in
 accidentally. The lineup and sum-
