NEAR HIS sWEETHEARTs DOOR.
A II Year Old Youth Kills Himself
Because Not Allowed to Marry.


Burlington, Kan, Dec 1.-wayne
Fulton, youth from Kansas City,
Kan. committed suicide here Monday
afternoon by shooting himself through
the head with a 3S-caliber revolver
dying an hour later Young Fulton
was infatuated with Edna May Wood
who was his schoOlmate at Kansas
City until she moved here with her
parents a few weeks ago. Her par
entS forbade her marrying him or
corresponding with him. He left his
home Friday without telling his wild
owed mother where he was going and
came here to see the Wood girl
He had threatened to kill himself
and had also threatened to kill w. H.
Wood, the girls father, and the girl.
During the afternoon he hired a rid
ing horse from the livery stable and
rode around the Wood home firing his
revolver. He then turned the horse
loose and went into the yard, going to
the back door, where he knocked. and
when Mr.. Wood came to the door, he
retired to the back yard and shot him
self. The bullet entered the head back
of the right ear and lodged on the left
side. The coroner's inquest last night
found a verdict of suicide.
Wayne Fulton was IA years old.
That. he was not responsible for his ac-
tions is the belief of his mother, Mrs.
Grace Fulton, a widow, 1136 Waverly
avenue, Kansas City, Kan, and friends
in a street car accident at Sixth street
and Minnesota avenue on January IT,
1907. Since that time he frequently
manifested symptoms of mental de-
rangement. He had been under the
constant care of a physician
The boy left his home in Kansas
City, Kan, about o'clock Friday
morning. When he failed to return
Friday evening his mother became
worried and notified the police of both
Kansas Citys. A few months ago he
left home and was gone for several
days.

NEW UMPIRE FOR NATIONAL.
S. p CusacIx of the American Associa-
ton Is Signed by Pulliam.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-The Ameri-
can league will have the double UNI
pire system next year and Ban John
son will announce the names of his
staff shortly. The National may also
have the double system if PuIliam can
secure enough good men.
The latest umpire signed by the Ma
tiona1 league is s. P. Cusack. who has
had experience in the American asso-
citation and the Eastern league. Gu
sack is a Chicagoan and was highly
recommended to Pulliam by managers
and players who live in that city. Last
season the National leaguers had six
umpires, so the enga cement of Cusack
gives them one more arbitrator, pro-
vfded Jimmy Johnstone does not re-
sign or get the hook.
In future the scheme of switching
men from behind the bat to the bases
will not be followed. The man with
the keenest eyesight will call balls and
strikes. Emslie thus probably being
slated for field duty all year Lani-
gan, the umpire from the New Eng
land league, is not likely to be on the
National league staff He is slow in
covering plays, and Pulliam does not
want a referee of this kind.

EmpOria Expecting Natural, Ar
ticle in Every Day.
Strong City Ditch Diggers Are
at the Edge of the City.
PIPE is SLOW COMING.
Trouble in Getting Shipments
From the Ohio Factory.
Present System of Fuel in Town
Is Very Unsatisfactory.

Emporia, Dec. 1.-The ditch digger OF
the Strong City Gas company, which is
TO supply Emporia with natural gas, is
within four miles of the city limits.
The pipe is being rapidly laid, and can
be laid much more rapidly than the
ditch can be dug The ditch digger
goes at the rate of three-quarters of i
mile per day, while the pipe laying
gang Of fifty Austrians and Hungarians
lays the pipe at a rate of more than a
mile a day.
The main difficulty with the situation
is the fact that the pipe is slow in COM
ing from the factory. In the beginning
the Strong City company had trouble
getting the Youngstown, Ohio, company
to jar loose with its shipments of pipe
and 1t was only after much delay that
it finally came through. The work of
laying the pipe Is a small matter once
it is On the field. The pipe on the line
toward Emporia is laid a quarter of a
mile past the Santa Fe depot at
Plymouth, and the pipe layers could
easily catch up with the digger in a
short time.
At this end of the line, the work is
being pushed by J. o. Patterson, Alfred
Gregory and Mr.. Wilson, who have it
in charge. The work at this end has
been slow, but there is no reason to
think that these men will not do their
best toward getting natural gas into
the town. The present unsatisfactory
state Of things, with the gas falling at
almost any time in the day or night, is
mighty tiresome. After the pipe has
arrived-and some of it has arrived
the city company says it will put a
force of $50 to 200 men to work digging
the ditch and this force will be able to
tear up a large chunk of earth in a day
The work will then proceed at a rapid
rate, and the belt line which will be put

PICKS AN AI.L-sTAR ELEVEN.
DIR. Charles Mccarthy, a Badger Foot
| ball Coach, Gives His Choice.


Madison, Wis, Dec. 1.-Dr. Chas.
Mccarthy, one of the exponents of
new football, and a Badger coach, Sc
leeted an alI-western eleven. Recog-
nizing the open style as the kind of
attack that wins, DR.. Mccarthy has
confined his selection largely to mem
bers of the three best new football
teams in this section of the country
Chicago, Wisconsin and Illinois.
In selecting men for the various po-
sitions he laid special stress on the
fact that players adapted to the new
game, the kickers, the open-field run
ners, the flying tacklers, and the men
who can execute the forward pass
quickly and accurately, naturally have
the call. His team follows: gL

FOR ANOTHER MAJOR LEAGUE
New York Hears That Tebeau Is
Working in That Direction


New York, Dec. Further proof
as to the scheme on foot to organize
another major league made up of the
promoters of the American association
and Eastern league, was learned on
excellent authority yesterday, was be-
ing made by George Tebeau, who con-
trolls the franchises of the Kansas
City and Louisville clubs of the Ameri-
can association and the Denver club
in the Western league. Rumor has
it that Tebeau has been negotiating
for the purchse of the Buffalo club of
the Eastern league.
1t was said some time ago that Te-
beau tried to sell his Kansas City club
to Clark Griffith, but the deal was not
closed. Since then Tebeau, who is al
ways making some sort of trouble in
baseball circles, thought that by secur-
ing Buffalo it would enable him to
swing a combination between the
American aSSO Ociation and Eastern
league into a new major league cir
cult. In accomplishing such a scheme
it is said that Tebeau would have the
backing Of Ed Hanlon, the owner of
Baltimore, and Hugh Duffy, who con-
trolls the Providence club. Tebeau, if
he should succeed in getting Buffalo,
could easily transfer his Louisville
and Kansas City clubs to Chicago and
Pittsburg, respectively, and thereby
form the nucleus of a new circuit.
Tebeau has made good money out
of minor league baseball in recent
years, and has lately made it plain
that there is no good reason why there
should not be another big league to ri
val the National and American in the
struggle for patronage. If there is
anything in these persistent rumors
it will be developed soon after the re-
presentatives of the American associa-
ton and Eastern league hold a con-
ference with the National commission
on December 5.
