ON THE RACE TRACK.

GOVERNOR HASKELL
MAKES HOT CHARGES
okLAHOMA'S EXECUTIVE SAYS
THE ILLINOIS STEEL COMPANY
OFFICIALS ARE EVADING THE
ORDERS OF THE COURT.

Guthrie, OKLA, January 6.-Follow-
ing the fighting of the fling of suit
for $4,000 by attorneys representing
Cornelius s. Loder OF New York
against Governor Charles N. Haskell in
the United States circuit court Gov
ernor Haskell made statement in
which he charges that "Loder is mere
ly a cheap clerk" and a dummy for
the Illinois Steel company" He denies
ever having realized single dollar
from the transaction, which was the
purchase of the steel rails for a rail-
road he was promoting. Continuing
the governor charges the Illinois Steel
company officials with evading court
orders in refusing to produce books.
He charges a conspiracy on the part of
FL. C. Prick and the board of managers
of the steel company. In closing the
signed statement, Governor Haskell
says
1.-THE whole matter is an individual
transaction growing out of a large
volume OF business between the Illinois
Steel company and myself, and it will
be tried and determined as a private
business proposition.

BASEBALL MEET
IN CINCINNATI

Cleveland, o.. January 6.-The arbi-
tration board of the National Associa-
ton of Minor Leagues will meet here to-
morrow for the purpose of adjusting
disputes in connection with the re-
districting of the several leagues, thus
avoiding threatening split owing to
the alleged refusal of the eastern team
of the Ohio and Pennsylvania league
to play with the Western and South
ern leagues. The board is composed of
Chairman J. H. Farrell of Auburn, NJ.
Y; Michael Sexton of Rock Island, III. !;
Tim Munan of Boston, ]. H. O'Rourke
of Bridgeport, Ct; j. c. Ewing of San
Francisco, d. NJ Shively of Kansas City
and j. d. O'Brien of Milwaukee. Mag
mates representing the Ohio and Penn
sylyania, the Interstate and the Cen
trail leagues, will be here. The storm
center hinges about the Ohio and Penn
sylvania, while the others are waiting
for developments with the arbitration
board ready to act.
Cincinnati, January 6.-More interest
was shown in the proposed conference
between the representatives of the
minor leagues and the national base
ball committee than in the other bust
ness OF the national meeting before
baseball Headers came together today.
The certainty that Chairman August
Herman and Secretary John Il. Rruce
would be reelected without contest
and the knowledge that there is little
routine business to be disposed of ma
turally turned attention to the minor
leagues. Ned Hanlon and Judge
Kavanaugh represented the class A
leagues, DR.. F. S. Carson is here for
the class B clubs, d. M. Shively for
class C, and Frank Baumeister for
class D. Changes in classification for
The American association and the East
ern league and the proposition to give
the minor leagues representative on
the national commission were much dis
cussed, but no formal action had been
taken by the minor representatives
prior to the meeting. 1t was not be-
lieved that any attempt would he MADE
by the minors to force recognition Of
either point nor did there seem to be
any prospect of serious differences over
ether matters.
That President O'Brien of the Amer
:can association would ask that his
organization be permitted to place a
team in Chicago had been announced,
but it is understood that the commits
sion has no authority in the matter and
will be simply able to explain to him
the steps necessary to be taken to ac-
complish that purpose.

ANOTHER BLIND
TIGER CAUGHT
SoUTHSIDE SALOON MAN SAID HE
WAS SIMPLY TRYING TO DIS
POSE OF SOME OLD STOCK HE
HAD ON HAND.

Judge Feagin will be confronted by
two more blind tigers this morning. Of
ficers Morrow and Taylor captured the
second one of the year yesterday, and
won two of the hats which the chief has
offered for blind tigers.
The officers charge ]. S. Ferguson, a
white man, with running his saloon, in
the face of the prohibition laws. They
state that yesterday afternoon while
passing the saloon formerly operated by
Ferguson on the corner of Avenue B and
Twentieth street, they noticed negroes
congregating in the rear of the restau-
rant next door, and by watching closely
they saw Mr.. Ferguson handing the whis-
ky out of the back door.
When they walked up ]. G. Briggs, an
other white man, was making a pur-
chase, and both confessed. 1t is said that
Ferguson told Chairman Copeland of the
police commission that he was just try
ing to get rid of his old stock

SPEAKER CANNON
FIXES COMMITTEE
TEMPERANCE PEOPLE SAY HE
HAS ARRANGED MATTERS so AS
TO KNOCK OUT PROHIBITION
FOR WASHINGTON.

Washington, January 6.-(Speciai.)-
That Speaker Cannon has packed the
District of Columbia committee against
district prohibition bill is declared
by temperance advocates. There is no
doubt that a district prohibition bill
would pass the House if vote upon it
could be had.
The opponents of such a measure will
make practically their entire fight be-
fore the committee and have had their
hands materially strengthened by
changes the speaker is declared to have
made in the committee personnel.
These changes, it is believed, will re-
suit in the bill being smothered in
committee, the House membership
falling to get direct vote upon the
subject. w. S.
