With the same desire to knock the
Washington club on all occasions which
crops out in so many rapers. the latest
issue Of Sporting News slaps CanullOn
on the wrist for abusing poor old John
Anderson and Mack Heydon so badly
that they had 20 jump the club last
season when they were most needed,
and defends the action OF the National
Commission for going out of its way
TO make an unjustifable and dirty crack
at Cantillon. This sounds Ike an in
spired utteranCe. and the pure white
soul who edits the paper fails 10 take
account Of the fact that Ban Johnson
allowed Captillon to sell and other
clubs to buy these players in contra
vent!on Of all the rules Of the com
mission.
In another editorial IN the same
issue. the editor seems to have mad an
original idea which he failed to have
censored. In that he takes the ground
that both Anderson and Heydon, no
matter how many their imaginary
wrongs, had no right TO jump the club,
but should have appealed to the com
mission IL their relations with Can
tillon had really become unbearabIe.
TaIs is logical and correct. It is ex-
actly what CautiIlon and the Washing
ton officials have Contended, and the
amazing thing is that It should ever
have crept into the columns Of the ST.

TEAM WILL LEAVE
THURSDAY NIGHT
Four More Home Games,
Then Month on the
Road.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

If you want 20 see the Washington
bali team, get out some day between
now aud Friday. for the club leaves
Thursday night for Boston, and will not
be back until July 2
Today will be the last chance to see
Hugney Jennings chew grass and other
wise disport himself until July p, when
the Tigers return. Tomorrow Cleve-
land arrives for a series of three games.
and when the Maps get here we shah
have seen all the clubs in the Ameri-
can League. Then viii come the real
doping on the season.
To date there has been no team shown
hera that had a cinch or more than an
excellent fighting chance for the PEN
nant. The New York Highlanders look
about as coed as any, with little
break in the luck, but they are by no
means. the marvellous ball team the ex-
cited and maudlin New York papers
would have their readers believe. De-
troit Is A better team tnan its position
indicates, but if IL wins the pennant Will
have been through a struggle as close
and as fierce as il had last year Cleve-
land is considered a most potent factor
BY the ball players, with the same old
proviso that LaiOie must show more
nagerial ability and make the club
devote more OF its energy to inside ball
than smuggling for averages.

 FAILS TO CONVENE
Neither Branch Has Quorum Roll Call in House, but the Senate Does Not Attempt Formal
 Session.

Little Rock, May 19.-The Ar kansas legislature failed to con. yene in extra session yesterday in pursuance to a call issued by Speaker Allen H. Hamiter, while he was acting governor, and there will be no extraordinary session of that body. Noon and afternoon sessions were held by members of both the Senate and house, but there was not a quorum at any of the four sessions.
 The house, at the close of the afternoon, adjourned sine die. The senate met as mass meet ing of senators at the afternoon session, and, adopting a resolu- ton recognizing Acting Governor X. 0. Pindall's power to revoke Speaker Hamiter's call, agreed to disperse and return home.

ALLEGED FORGER ARRESTED.
Man Giving Name of Smith Tried te
 Pass Bad Check in Saloon.

A man giving his name as Smith was arrested late Mon day afternoon by Deputy Marshal Joplin and turned over to county officers and placed in jail on a charge of passing forged check which he had made out for $l0. The check was made out on a blank of the Farmers and Mer- chants Bank of this city and was made payable to F. Baker, and bearing the signature of the c. B. Nall music house.
 It IS stated that during the afternoon this man Smith strolled into the saloon of Sam Carder and walking up to the bar called for bottle of whisky and glass of beer, handing the bartender the check from which to take his pay. The bartender becoming suspicious, went to the phone to ring up the bank and find out if the check was good when the man slipped out of the back door and disappeared.
 The matter was reported to the officers and late in the afternoon Deputy Marshal Joplin arrested the man down in the yards where he had gone for the purpose of making his escape in box car.
 The case came up for hearing before Squire Sam Smith Wednesday morning and he was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $500. Not being able 10 make bond he was remanded to jail.
 It is stated that Smith tried to bribe the officers, offering Deputy Marshal Joplin $ and Jailer Ambryse Bratcher $l0 to release him from jail.
 The defendant was represented by Attorney H. A. King and prosecution by City Attorney F.. J. Lundy.

SUIT FOR PER DIEM
 AND MILEAGE
Seventeen Representatives Will At tempt to Compel State Auditor Moore to Pay Them For Com
 ing to Little Rock.

Little Rock, May 19.-Suit against State Auditor Avery E. Moore will be brought in court within a short time by Speaker Allen H. Hamiter, s. J. Hunt of Pine Bluff, representative in the house from Jefferson county, and other members of the House of Re- esentative for the purpose, if possible, of compelling Auditor Moore to redeem vouchers preset ed by legislators who attended the two sessions of the house ycster- day. The real purpose of the suit will be to settle the question of the legality of acting Governor Pindall's proclamation revoking the call for an extra session of the legislature issued one week ago yesterday by Speaker Hamiter. Arrangements are now being made to bring the suit. Manda- mus proceedings will probably be brought against the auditor, who refuses to pay the legislators on the ground that there was no leg al session.
 MT. Hunt of Pine Bluff has been appointed committee of one by the men who received the vouchers to take charge of the suit. He announced last mig ht that former Governor Dan w. Jones of this city, partner in law practice of Senator John H. Hamiter, had been employed to prosecute the case.

DYNAMITE IN CLEVELAND.
.A Street Car Loaded With Passengers
 Blown Up.

Cleveland, O., May 20.--A Broadway street car was partially destroyed by a dynamite torpedo Monday night. While 25 passengers were in the car, no one was seriously hurt. A panic followed and a mad rush for the exits was made.
 A West Madison street car also was damaged by an explosion of powder on the track. The floor of the car was broken through and one woman was severely injured.
 Trivial rioting, deadlock in arbf tration proposals, car service largely restored and the refusal of the trac- ton authorities to do anything until disorder and violence ceases, marked he third day of the strike Of the con luctors and motormen on the Mu' uicipal Street Railway companys s lines.
 The company succeeded in operat- ing all lines with but slightly i'm paired service, considering the din' eulties. While no special effort was made to send cars into the suburbs vet in the city proper cars were run m a grand average schedule of nine ninutes. This is but four minutes be low normal.
 There was a marked decrease in the
 severity of the violence reported unti Monday nights explosions. In severa instances car windows were broken bS
 stones, cars were stopped and non union crews were assaulted.
