|.JIM' O'ROURKE TO HAVE SALARY
League Managers Rise to Idea that Secretary Is
 Worthy of His Hire
Salary Limit May be $2,00o

The directors of the Connecticut League in conclave, yesterday, at last got wise to themselves, taking note of the work some of the officers have to do to make the organization what it is They voted to give Secretary James H. O'Rourke a yearly salary of $500. The salary was entirely unsought by the local manager, and is but small remuneration considering the amount of work the secretary has to do. There is not another league in the country to-day, even among the Class D or ganizations, that does not pay, secre- tary. It has been Jim O'Rourke all along who has fought the legal battles of the organization, he being the guid- ing spirit the many years of it's or ganization. President W. J.. Tracy refused to accept remuneration for his office, as he desired not to establish a precedent, as he did not think the work connected with the office was worth it. In declining to accept any reimbursement President Tracy in formed the directors that he would not accept the office for another term. President Tracy was not among those elected to office yesterday. he being elected a year ago.
 There was no opposition to the plan of fixing a salary limit that will be lived up to but the directors were anxious to have it stated that they do not intend slashing salaries. The salary limit is supposed to be $2,OO0 month which is high for Class B league and the league directors em- phasized the statement that there is no idea of cheapening the league or taking any step backward. The idea is to put the league on a business basis.
 Though no plan was adopted. the sentiment seemed toe favor the meth O1s IISad b1r fba Tri-Sf9ta Tea cna and after the meeting it was predicted that the Tri-State plan will be chosen. That scheme is to place an individual salary limit and if the Connecticut League adopts it. a $200 limit is almost sure to be adopted. The plan also carries with it a rule that not more than four teen players Skali be carried by any Club after the first month of the sea- son when try outs are in order.
 The only deal torn off at the meet ing was the result of a complaint put in by, three EIolyoke players to the effect that they haven't been paid in full. Catcher Ahearn was one of the trio. and as a result was given over yoke owed him $50. McCabe clamed the same and Pitcher Joe Sindler, $250 Trea surer Winkler told the di- rectors that Ahearn was fined $50 for a fist fight with Files and that Mo Cabe was docked. the same for a run
 in with Romer.
 Owner Durant of the Authors offered to pay what Ahearn claimed. provid- ing Winkler would give him a clear title to the player. Winkler quickly snapped up the offer. The directors voted McCabe's claim valid, the fine still standing against him. Winkler explained the Sindler case by saying that there had been misunderstood ing He had paid Sind1er's doctors and hospital bills after the little pitch CT had broken his arm and had agreed to pay Sindler certain sum weekly. Sindler's claim is for his full salary. =

RAGS IN FLUEN
 SET HOUSE AFIRE
Owner in Hospital Damage Sm all Gov
 cred by Insurance.

Fire broke out in an empty fat of a four family house at 35O- -352354 Bun nell street this morning shortly after g o'clock The fire department was callled and the firemen found that the blaze had eaten between the walls and travelled from the ground floor to the attic. Chemicals were used in putting out the blaze and the loss will not be more than $50. The building is owned by Philip Sakowitz who is in the hospital suffering from tumor. His wife occupied one of the flats with two small children.
 Although it looked as though an in cendiary had built fire upon the bare floor of the vacant tenement Chief Mooney upon inquiry learned that rags had been stuffed into the chim- ney hole so that the fue would draw for the fires of the other tenants. The rags undoubtedly took fire and drop ped to the floor.
 The firemen in pulling away the clustering found conditions that show ed that the house would take fire sooner or later. The wooden joists were built up close to the chimney the same as in many cases where fires have been started in frame houses during the past few years.
 The fire worked into the apartments of Otto Mohs on the second floor of the building but did little damage. The loss upon the building is covered by insurance.

CUNNINGHAM OPERATED IN

Especial from United Press.)
 Springfield, Mass. Oct. 19.-Bernard Cunningham, who was arrested in New York yesterday on indictments involv- ing the obtaining of money under false prtenses is wanted in Springfield for relieving Charles O'BrieE of Hartford of $2,0G0 in exchange for worthless mining stock last September.

EVIDENCE AGAINST
 HILL FILING UP
Box in Which Murdered
 Girls Remains We're
 Found Sold to the ''Pro-
Special from United Press.)


 : Fall River, Mass, Oct. 19.-Search for the missing head of the girl whose dismembered body was found near Tiverton, R. l., and for the knife with which it was cut off, were the princi- pal activities of the police of this city and Tiverton today in their efforts to solve the mysterious murder of the woman they maintain was Amelie St. Jean of Woonsocket, R. I.
 The search for the knife and for two rings the St. Jean girl wore centered about the office of Professor" Frank Hill, held here with Wilfred Thibeault, a chauffeur, on charges of murder: Already nearly every movable article in Hills office has been carted to the police station in an effort to preserve them uninterfered with for the trial. If the head of the murd cred girl, is found, the police say they have sl1ffi- cient evidence against Hill to well warrant his being held. So far this consists, however, only of pieces Of clothing alleged to have been owned by Hill which were found with bloody clothing said to have been worn by the St. Jean girl, and a square box in which the limbs and torso of the slain girl were carried, according to the DO lice theory, to Tiverton to be spread about the countryside. This box, a Greek friuteur. has been identified as one sold to Hill some time after the alleged killing of Amelie St. Jean. Still, however, there is no positive identification of the remains and there will be none until the missing head is found To fill the blanks in the chain of evidence every effort of the police is today being made.
 Thibeault's alibi. which completely accounts for his time during the days on which the girl must shave been slain, has. only been corroborated by police investigation. All of Thibeault's S clothing has been seized and is being examined by Professor Whitney, a specialist He reports that no blood appears on the shoes. On the result of these examinations, Fuller and Gray, Thibeau1ts attorneys, are likely today to move to secure his release. No report on the, condition of the dead girls stomach. which also was sent to Professor Whitney for analysis, has yet been made to the authorities here. Rumors are current that another ar rest is likely in connection with the case. Another man who is declared to have been responsible for the St. Jean girls delicate condition is being sought by the police and only the pro duction of an impregnable alibi, it is said, will prevent his being taken into custody.

"JEFFRIES WILL KNOCK JOHNSON'S
 BLOCK OFF SURE''
Special from United Press.)

Chicago, Oct. 19.-"Jeffries will meet Johnson just as soon as details for a bout can be arranged; and he will knock Jacks head off sure.'
 The above statement from Sam Ber- ger. recently sparring and vaudeville partner of Jeffries, is being discussed by fight fans to-day following Berger's s Sojourn in town between trains on his way to New York. Berger left last night for New York where he expects to meet Jeff Thursday and begin oper- ations for signing final articles for the fight with Johnson.
 That bout out west looks queer in good many ways" in commenting on the Ketchel-Johnson fight "It was a mistake to send Ketchel against a man so much heavier than himself in the first place. It was just putting money in Johnson's pocket
 New York, Oct. 1e.-when James J. Jeffries steps off the Lusitania Thurs day he is expected to find awaiting him, Jack Johnson. Friends of the negro champion declare he will "camI on Jeffries' trail'' until the latter signs articles for a fight or admits that he will not return to the ring. Word re- ceiVed from the west to-day states that Johnson is hurrying east, intending to challenge Jeffries so soon as he lands and inasmuch as the last word from JCILEiSS dIlSI IlS tHc~ T0Su-I Ol the Ketchel-Johnson fight was that ii was up to him now, it is expected fight articles will be signed within a week.
 There can hardly be any quarrel over the division of the purse as Johnson has repeatedly declared he will "cut the money any way Jeff says Both Johnson and Sam Fitzpatrick believe the negro is the white mans master and Johnson is expected to suggest that they fight winner take all, with a side bet of S10,00O.
 IL is just beginning to dawn on the experts here that Johnson is real fighter. His frequent hippodroming has been lost sight of in the account of his last performance and it is agreed that the fight between the two will be the greatest in the history of the prize ring since the John L. Sulli- van Paddy Ryan battle.
