ZIG LEAGUERS are not satisfied
- with their gleanings from the
- Coasters fold In the last week
Henry Berry of the Angels has re-
ceived a half dozen offers from the va
rious teams in the two major organ
izations looking toward the purchase
of several of his good men. Doubtless
the other teams in the league also have
received similar feelers, but it Is noted
that more attention has been given by
the scouts To the Angels than to any
other team in the league, probably for
the very good reason that in the line
up of the champions are contained
more promising youngsters.
Not content with annexing Koestner
for delivery after the season is ended,
the majors are now after three others
of the men at present drawing down
salaries on the champions payroll The
most prominent of these Is Franzel
Hosp, the clever little Dutchman whom
wise critics place in the top ranks OF
the pitchers of the Coast league. Hosp
is a methodlcal Woodworking pitcher
with nothing of the sensational in his
makeup. But he has proved grand
HEAVIER, and the scouts have not failed
to take notice of this fact. He prob
ably will be sold to an eastern team
before the season closes.
Bert DelInaS, Tie AlSel 6HOIlSlOpt
has come under notice of the eastern
ers also, and they think so well of him
that several good offers already have
been received. However. Berry will
take good. long think before he
parts with the boy who possesses the
best throwing arm of any shortstop In
the league.
Orendorff, the regular ctacher, has
been spotted. He has been handling
"a hof h "A
spread abroad. and the third of the
trio undoubtedly will be offered "a good
chance in the east.
But no immediate delivery for me"
says Berry. IT want my players to
finish out the season, and that is the
only basis on which I will consider n
sale"
From clever little Jimmy Austin at
San Diego, where he is training for his
fight with Red Corbett, a beach-town
scrapper, comes a neWsy little letter
which his friends may be glad to read.
1t runs as follows: Sporting editor,
The Herald Just a line to tell you
about my bout here with Red Corbett
next Monday night. l am working
hard for the battle, as Corbett has
every advantage of weight and strength.
But l think l have good chance to

my sparring partner, and will be be-
hind me when l go into the ring. l am

there will be no trouble over that.

Frank Dillon and Henry Berry are
dreaming, eating, living nowadays. It's
a mighty good start in the right di-
rection. -
Truck Eagan's beautiful assist in the
third inning when he ran over behind
the pitcher, leaped into the air,
brought down a bounder and threw
Goodwin and the side out while still
in the air. was roundly applauded by
the fans.
Wheeler was sent to short when Del
mas was retired from the game and
Ivan Howard was placed at second.
It looks as if Howard had recovered
his batting lamp. Yesterday he made
the first hit in twenty-five times at
the plate, but kept up when he finally
got away from the post, making three
spanking singles during the day. They
counted largely in the scoring.
Koestner started off in wild fashion,
but gradually steadied down until the
eighth, when he went bad and was re-
lieved by Nagle. Lengthy Walter was
never in better form, and pitched
steady winning contest. However, as
the Angels were ahead when Koestner
was sent to the bench, he will get the
credit for the victory. which shows how
much a pitchers game average tells Of
his performances.
The Godwin~Howard- -Orendorff trio
worked a beautiful play in the third,
catching Bernie Bernard at the plate
on the throw in of a long hit.
Breckenridge got an easy assist in a
novel manner. Smith banged the Dali
straight toward him on a grounder, and
Brack stuck his foot in the way, the
ball bouncing to Eagan. who was thus
enabled to throw the runner out.
Haley and his coacher made laugh
able mistake in the sixth. Coy hit a
high single to Beall, and Haley ran to
second, but started back, evidently In
the belief that Beall had caught the
ball He was nailed at second.
Henry Berry received word from j.
Cal Ewing, president of the Coast
league, that Umpire McGreevy is as
signed to Los Angeles for another week.
This is good news. for Macs methods
of handling the field in mastery
manner have made a hit with the low
ers of clean baseball. More power to
you, McGreevy.

DRUGGIST SUES

CAMDEN, Jan. ga fervid love let
ter was read in the Court of Chancery
here yesterday, when Mrs. Eta S.
Doughty appeared as respondent in di-
Yorce proceedings brought by John T
Doughty, a Melville druggist. The case
was continued today.
The low letter, Doughty said, had
been penned by his wife to a one-time
bosom friend, Thomas Evans. a manu-
facturer, who is named correspondent.
Evans's wife heard read the letter adj
dressed to her husband.
The druggists attorney produced a
letter, which the husband said his wife
admitted having written to Evans. He
had found the envelope partly concealed
by a pile of magazines, he said. On it
he discovered the words. "Mr. Thomas"
which aroused his suspicious.

MI-O-NA
RELIEVES STOMACH MISERY
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY

If the food you ate at the last meal
did not digest, but laid for a long time
like lead on your stomach, then you
have indigestion, and quick action
should be taken.
of course there are many other symp-
toms of indigestion, such as belching up
Of sour food, heartburn, dizziness,
shortness Of breath and foul breath,
and if you have any of them your
stomach is out of order and should be
corrected.
Ml-o-na tablets have cured thousands
of cases Of indigestion and stomach
trouble. If you have any stomach dis
tress Mi-o-na will relieve instantly.
But Mi-o-na, unlike most ~so-called
dyspepsia remedies, does more than re-
lieve; it permanently cures dyspepsia or
any stomach trouble by putting energy
and strength into the walls of the stom-
ach, where the gastric juices are pro-
duced.
A large box of Mi-o-na tablets costs
but so cents at r. T.. Petty's, and are
guaranteed to cure or money back
When others fail Mi-o-na cures. IT is a
producer of flesh when the body is thin:
il cleanses the stomach and bowels,
purifes the blood and makes rich red
blood.

MOVING PICTURES
FAILED TO MAKE
JURY IMPRESSION
Ingenious Defense in Damage
Suit Proved Boomerang-In-
jured Boy Gets $500.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Despite NOV
ing picture evidence, introduced by
counsel for the Coney Island and
Brooklyn Railway Company in the ac-
ton brought against it by Stephen Nc
Gorty, 10 years old, a jury in the Su-
preme Court, Brooklyn, yesterday
awarded The lad $500 damages.
The boy had been injured by being
thrown from d trolley car by a conduc-
tor in 1905 and the moving pictures
showed him running, boxing and wrest-
ling, although it Was claimed he is per-
manently injured.
Justice Aspinall, when Lawyer Kuhn,
for the company, moved that the YER
dict be set aside as against the weight
of evidence, said:
Il shall not grant that motion off
hand. ! do o think the verdict vas
necessarily against the weight of evil
dence."
why, your honor, the pictures were
perfectly clear objected Mr.. Kuhn.
"As clear as portraits" replied JUS
LaAI AEEiAetilt oul Ilit lliOliOllC VI Allt
pictured figures were perfectly under
the control of the operator. He could
make the boys motions as slow or IS
violent as he pleased. The boy might
have gone through the positions of a
boxing match slowly and painfully. and
the operator could make it seem like a
wild and reckless battle. The jury knew
all these things, Mr.. Kuhn.
Then it was shown that this boy
was persuaded to take off his brace by
the offer OF 30 cents. He was tainted
before his p%laylnates with being a cow
ard, m with being a discredit to the
irish race. DO you believe there is an
Irish kid in this town worthy of the
blood in him nc wouldn't have done
his best when challenged that way? !
don't.
mo. Mr.. Kuhn, it was a novel and
ingenious use of evidence, 1t was the
first time, / think, that the moving pic
ture invention has Deer used in the
trial of a case. [ think it may be the
last time
One OF the jurors said to the reporters
later:
Some Of us thought it was a shame
to trick q little fellow like shat. That
didn't help any to keep down the size
Of the verdict. Some of us happened to
know a few things about moving pic
lures"

SAY PRISONERS
SOLD COCAINE
TO NEWARK BOYS
Police and Detectives Sure They
Have Gang that Operated
in City's Centre.

The police today took the pictures of
three young men for the rogues' gal
lery. The arrests revealed the fact that
in the very ccntre OF the city an extern
sive illegal cocaine business was being
transacted, with small boys the princi-
pal customers.
The arrests aroused Captain Carroll.
of the detective bureau, to a realization
of the extent of the cocaine traffic, par
ticularly as it affects children, and to-
day he announced his intention to keep
his detectives on the work Until no CO.
caine could be bought in this city.
Several big merchants in the vicinity
of the -Four Corners have frequently in
formed police headquarters that a gang
of cocaine vendors was operating in
hat vicinity. They knew this, they
said, because they frequently saw boys
between 8 and 16 years old snufing the
drug eagerly as though they had just
procured it.
Detectives Harris, Mcconnell, Ryan
and Farrell, after several days work,
found three men whom they suspected
of conducting the traffic. They made
their headquarters in a pool parlor I'm
der a cigar store at Broad and Mar
ket streets. Detective Harris enlisted
one of the youthful cocaine fends in
his service and through him made pur-
chases OF cocaine from each of the
three persons suspected, SO he reported.
When the purchases We're made the
four detectives were looking On, and
they arrested the three men. They de-
scribed themselves as Israel Leitten, 102
Commerce street; Harvey Beach, AZ
Lock street. and David Crist. 126 Ere
linghuyscn avenue All, say the police,
have become so addicted TO the use of
cocaine that they are physical and
mental wrecks.
The detectives learned. they reported,
that these men had been obtaining
their supply Of cocaine from a druggist
in New York, and had been selling it
to boys at the Four Corners for several
months. When arrested each man had
a quantity Of the drug in his posses
sion. They had it wrapped in small
powder papers, selling a powder for five
and ten cents. There were two snutfs
of the drug In a five cent paper, and
five in a ten cent paper. Five snuffs
of the drug would keep a boy under its
influence all day.
In investigating the matter Captain
Carroll verified the reports that the
majority Of victims of the cocaine sell
ers arc minors, and that among them
are many girls. One boy or girl will
spread the use of tho drug among a
dozen others in a short time, and once
a boy or girl is induced to snuff the
drug they continue the habit, frequent
ly stealing to get money to get it.
After having their pictures taken for
the rogucs' gallery the three prisoners
were taken to the First Precinct Police
Court to be arraigned on a misde-
meanor charge provided in the law
which THE EVENING STAR induced
the Legislature to pass at its last ses-
sion.

Menns Fewer snioons.

of course, it will be said right away
that the plan Of raising the excise fees
TO range between ST. 900 in cities exceed
ing 15,000 population down to $3.50 in the
smaller townships will have the imme-
date effect of driving out of business u
large number of saloons and sO-called
hotels" said Mr.. Fisk to a reporter. II
admit that this would be the result.
But it would be a good result, and one
which ought to be accomplished for
moral betterment of many communities
in New Jersey, who are afflicted with
too many drinking places, not to say
anything of the disreputable character
of a good many of them. However, ad-
hitting that the number Of places would
decrease one-tifth in number through
out the State, let us see what it would
mean.
I'm round figures it would mean that
there would be collected about a mil
lion inc a quarter of dollars less thar
my figures SHOW on the basis of present
number of licenses. The total, how.
eyer, would still be over $4,000, 900 for
the whole State. Apply the Matthews
proposition of the State taking 20 per
cent. of these fees. and you would bring
into the state treasury, 81, 200, 600. or
nearly 5000, 900 more than the threatened
deficit for this year. This would still
leave 49,, $50, 900 for the municipalities,
which is a million more han is o
being received from the liquor traffic in
the whole State.
1T strikes me that these figures are
rich with ideas for the Legislature, and
if the members of that body will give
careful consideration to them they will
find an easy and effective way out OF
the deplorable situation in which the
State finds itself"

FISK PLAN TO
HELP STATE BY
LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Chairman of State Excise COM
mission Shows Governor
How to Meet Deficit.
Especial to the Evening Start

TRENTON, Jan. 2S.-Mayor Charles
j. Fisk, of Plainield, chairman of the
State Excise Commission, provided Gov
ernor Fort today with figures intended
to provide a solution of the financial
problem now confronting New Jersey
as a result of a depleted treasury. Mr..
Fisk has calculated the amount Of
money h a could be raised in the State
from the liquor traffic on the basis Of
an application of excise fees recon-
mended by fha commission to the total
number of licenses now in force in the
State.
There are now 1861 liquor licenses in
New Jersey, from which is collected a
total sum Of 81. 700, 410. If the excise
fees proposed by the commission should
be put in force, the revenues from the
same number of licenses. as at present
classified, would be IS, 437 800, an increase
of So 2S, 062.
Considering these figures in conjunc-
ton with the bill introduced in the
Legislature by Assemblyman Matthews,
Of Hunterdon county, providing that 20
per cent. of all liquor license fees shall
be paid into the State for its purposes.
Mr.. Fisk thinks a Legislative plan may
be worked out SO as to leave the present
school moneys intact and at the same
time obviate the necessity of consider
Ing a direct State tax.
Comparative Figures.
The comparative table of figures pre-
pared by Mr.. Fisk, and submitted 10
Governor Fort, is as follows:
