the staff of umpires, was today elected

stional League Club, who was well ac-
quainted with Mr.. Lynch when the new
president of the league made his head
quarters in Cincinnati. Mr.. Lynch has
been interested in a theatrical enter
prise He has not been active in base
ball since 1896.

directors elected today is the entrance

place of President Dovey, Of the Bos-
ton club. Hermann, of Cincinnad;

NO PROOF THAT
COOK REACHED
POLE, IS REPORT
News Agency Informed That
Danish Scientists Were I'M
able to Find Evidence.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 1S.--The Asso-
ciated Press is informed by high au-
thority that the C, mmittee of the Uni
versity of Copenhagen, in its pre-
urinary examination of his records,
failed to discover proof that DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook reached the North Pole.
A preliminary report was made by
the examining committee at a secret
session of the consistory of the Univer-
sity today. The consstory listened to
the report, which provoked an animated
discussion. Il appears that the data SO
far submitted are not held sufficient to
establish the explorers claims.
The result of today's discussion was
a request on the part of the consistory
tnat the committee continue its work.
The University body will leave to the
investigators proper the matter of max
ing public later the results of their in
quiries. ~
In the meantime, it is announced by
an official of the University, the con-
sistory will not make public any COM
munication based upon information re-
ceived orally from the committee at
today's meeting.

GIRL CULPR|TS
REPENT PAINTING
PRINCETON CHAPEL
Professors Daughter and Chum,
as Well as Their Parents,
Say They're Sorry.
Especial to the Newalk sLar.l /

PRINCETON, Dec. 1s.-Now that the
mystery of the handwriting on the wall
of Miller Chapel, in red paint has been
solved, all Princeton is torn between
curiosity and sympathy, with a dash of
vengeance contributed by some of the
theological students. over the fate of
the two young misses who have con-
fessed they are the authors of the
dreadful deed
Miss Catherine Trowbridge, 1S. is the
daughter of Professor Augustus Trow
bridge, and her chum, Miss Elizabeth
Howe, of the same immature age, is
the daughter of Emerson dowe,
prominent resident Of Princeton. The
girls took advantage of the absence of
their parents to paint that portion of
Princeton red which almost everyone
believes should have been immune from
desecrating hands.
Now Miss Trowbridge and Miss Howe
have said they are sorry, and their
parents have said they are sorry, but
it is the generally accepted belief that
the incident was not closed with those
expressions of regret Just what act
ually happened, however in the Howe
and Trowbridge homes will, perhaps,
never be known.
The text of the legends with which
the chapel was adorned caused even
more CONSERVATION than the shade of
the paint. They have become history
by this time, but will bear repetition

pULLMANS HURLED DOWN
ENHANCEMENT in WRECK.
Passengers Have Narrow Escape
from Death.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-Train No. 81. on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad the Oriental limited. was
wrecked today at Western Springs.
ILL.,, near Chicago, three sleeping cars
rolling down an embankment. No per-
son was killed, but many We're injured.
Few of the injured, however, are Sc
riously hurt.
Two women passengers were the
worst injured. One of them sustained
a broken leg and the other a broken
arm. Other passengers who were hurt
received cuts from broken glass and
We're bruised and shaken up.
The train, which came from the Pa
cific coast by way of st. Paul, was
running rapidly, being seven or eight
) hours late. When near Western
Springs a broken rail sent the three
sleeping cars rolling down an embank-
Iilcnt ten or fifteen feet, pitching the
cars on their sides in the ditch. The
fact that no person on board the train
was killed seems remarkable to all who
were in the accident.
Although the weather was nearly
zero,l the passengers suffered little from
the cold. Relief was promptly at hand,
and the passengers were able to dress
before leaving the cars, notwithstand-
ing that the coaches were in the ditch.
There were some fifty passengers in
the forward day coach, which stayed
on the rails. and thirty occupants of
the sleeping cars, which were over
turned Passengers declared tha the
escape without one fatality was won
derful, in view of the speed and weight
Of the train.
The broken rail, termed by railroad
ers SNAKE rail-" instead of piercing
one of the cars, coiled up beneath the
coaches and was in confused tangle
beneath the second car when they
swline across the tracks and stopped.

FIVE CONVICTED
SUGAR MEN FACE
PRISON SENTENCES
Federal Authorities Now After
"Man Higher Up" in Weigh
ing Frauds.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S.-The first
convictions in the Sugar Trust fraud
cases We're obtained in the United
States Court when the Federal jury,
after being out ten hours and twenty
minutes, returned a verdict of guilty
against Oliver Splitter, former dock
superintendent at the williamsburg re-
-flnery plant of the American Sugar Re-
filming Company; Weighers Thomas Ke-
hoe, John r. Coyle. Edward A. Boyle
and Checker Patrick Hennessy.
All of the men are out today under
the same bond that gave them liberty
during the trial. The penalty for the
convicted men may be two years or
a fine of $1,000 each, or both, on each
of the two counts of the indictment,
but as the verdict contains a recon-
mendation for mercy, it is possible that
the limit of sentence will not be passed
upon them il the verdict stands. The
jury was unable to agree as to the
guilt of James f. Bendernagel, cashier
of the Williamsburg plant of the
American Sugar Refining Company,
who had been charged with passing
bribcs to government weighers.
The Federal grand jury has taken up
the question of whether certain en-
ployees of Arbuckle Brothers sugar
refinery were crininally responsible for
the nom payment of duty to the gov
ernment, which resulted in the pay
ment by the company of $695,000 few
days ago. 1t is understood that at the

SPRINGS LEAK In CRASH.

NORFOLK. Va, Dec, 1S.-The United
Safes battleship Georgia, recently in
collision with the battleship Nebraska
during fleet maneuvers, was struck by
the propeller of the collier Vestal while
coaling in Hampton roads today, caus-
ing, according to telegraphic report
from Old Point Comfort, a considerable
leak in the battleship. 1t is believed the
Georgia will have to go at once to her
home yard at Philadelphia for repairs.
The damages sustained by the Georgia
at the time. she was struck by the Ne
braska were described as inconsequen-
tial, and had it not been for the acci-
dent OF today the Georgia would prob
ably not be compelled to withdraw from
the fleet. which was today getting in
readiness for its departure Monday for

BLUEFIELDS Nicaragua, Dec. IS
The American grip on Bluefields was
frightened when Commander Shipiey, of
the cruiser Des Moines, on the author
ity of Rear Admiral Kimball, in COM
mand of the American forces in Nicar-
aqua, issued a proclamation formally
stating that no fighting would be al
lowed at Blueflelds.
Thomas p Moffat, the American con-
sui here, delivered the message to
Adolfo Diaz, provisional secretary of
state. to be forwarded to General Es-
trada. the leader of the revolutionists
and provisional president, at Rama. A
copy of it has been sent also to Gen.
eral Vasquez, the leader of the Zelayan
forces.
The proclamation quotes the letter of
Secretary Knox dismissing the Near
aguan charge d d'affaires at Washington,
and then declares that lighting at Blue
fields is prohibited because American
property and the lives of Americans
would be endangered.
The situation at Rama is unchanged.
Everybody here is praying that the
American government will recognize
General Estrada's government, which,
it is claimed, would go far toward ter
minating the struggle.

BERLIN, Dec. 1S.-A savage attack
on the American policy in Central
America was made by Berlin daily
newspaper, which is frequently in
spired by the German Foreign Office.
The newspaper insinuates that Presi-
dent Taft and Mr.. Knox, his Secretary
Of State, engineered the revolution IN
Nicaragua, as President Roosevelt and
Secretary Root engineered that in Pan
anna, and with a similar purpose in
yiew-namely, the reduction of Nicara-
qua to the condition of a vassaI to the
Washington government.
The German paper, which throughout
its remarks refers contemptuously to
Yankees has discovered that Mexi-
cos rejected offer of mediation between
the United States and Nicaragua was
due to an ardent desire on the part
of that republic to prevent the United
States from setting foot ON Nicaraguan
soil and thus s.penning in Mexico
within United States territory both
north and SOUTH
The article intinates that unless
Mexico decides to follow UP her re-
jected proposal with a protest. the ne
farious plans of the United States will
be accomplished and the first nail
driven in the coffin of Mexican inde-
pendence.
