Anarchists Believed to

Demonstrations and rioting in connec-
Barcelona continue at various points in
France. Italy and Austria, partaking
largely of an anti-clerical character.
In Vienna it was necessary for the police
to fire on the mobs in order to disperse
them. In Milan and Florence many per-
sons were wounded in cavalry charges.
In Paris King Alfonso was burned in ef-
figy. and the authorities were kept busy
dispensing socialistc gatherings.
In Rome there were struggles between
mobs and police. Priests were roughly
handled on the streets. The Vatican is
closely guarded by Italian troops.
Following the example Of French labor
unions on Wednesday, boycotts were de-
seaports of Italy and Brussels.
Two bombs which were found In BARGE
Iona exploded in the possession of the
authorities, but without serious damage.
All Europe in Upheaval.
Ferrers execution has weakened the
Europe, has aroused republicans. angered
radicals and infuriated anarchists to a
pitch where they will stop at nothing.
In England no public manifestation of
sympathy for Ferrer has been made yet.
but the feeling grows. even among con-
segvative men, that in shooting him the
Spanish government acted with grievous
precipitancy.
1t is greatly feared that the anarchists

regard of appeals for clemency for Ferrer
is regarded as a grave blunder. and an
outburst in Barcelona is expected at any
moment.

active section They say his only aim
was to inculcate anarchist and secular
ist doctrines by educatfve methods.
Rioting In Vienna.
Dispatches tell that there was rioting
in Vienna. A great crowd gathered, lis
tened to infiammatory speeches. cheer
ed Ferrer and yelled Down with their
Catholic majesties of Austria and
Spain!'' When the police tried to dis
perse the meeting they were fired on and
replied with a volley. Several persons
were wounded.
At Rome the feeling against the cleri-
calls has induced the government to put
extra guard over the Vatican.
The Spanish embassy in Vienna is
guarded by d large force of police ard
troops
In Trieste, Austria, the great majority
of wo-kinsmen struck for the day. Only
one evening paper appeared and nearly
all the shops, cafes and theaters were
closed. Thousands OF strikers paraded
th- streets with black flags, shouting
.'Ieath to Alfonso. Death to the pope.
The greatest disorder continued through
out the night.
In Brussels the socialists declared a
boycott against Spanish goods and re-
solved to keep the flag at thei: head
quarters at iialf-rast until the execution
OF Ferrer is avenged.
Such is the news from all over the con-
tinent.
The Swiss police warned Madrid that
four Spanish anarchists left Geneva yes
terday. SwitZerlnd is the haven of all
active anarchists during a storm or until
they want to raise one.

His Interest IN Army.
Gen. Drum was largely instrumental IN
founding the Army Mutual Aid Assccia-
tion. which gives immediate relief to
widows and orphans OF deceased officers
and for more than twenty years was Its
president and one of it's most Interested
workers. He was charter member OIL
the Aztec Club composed of survivors OF
the Mexican war. and a member OF the
Loyal Legion.
Gen. Drum took an active part in
securing the construction OF the electric
railway that passes his farm, and was
it's first president, until 1892, without pay.
He used to say that his life had been one
of such great activity that when he was
retired from the army he had TO nunt
around to keep himself busy and let HIM
self down easily. Later on. however. ad-
vancing years and a growing interest in
the simple life which he found around

Gen. Drum was very fond Of reading
the histories Of other lands. He once
said:
best histories he can get of the Roman
republic. He will see in it the likeness
of his own country including it's mis-
takes, and the mistakes we are making
will assume graver Importance to him. -
Although an ardent advocate Of peace.
he still believed in the army he had served
SO long and SO well.

helps the cause Of peace to have 1t so.''

Spanish Minister Vague
in Defense of Execution

Special Cablegram to The Star.
MADRID, October 15.-Senor Allende
Salezar. minister of foreign affairs. today
issued statement in which he has sue
ceeded In saying little in many words.
The gist of the statement follows:
Those who before the discovery Of
Ferrers retirement were already raising
their voices against his arrest. who, with
out waiting for the trial and examination
OF the evidence, declared Ferrer innocent,
were TO be expected. If the sentence OF
death was pronounced, to do all in their
power 10 represent the sentence as an
outrage. against the rules Of Justice
Among sections of the public and for
eign press interesting themselves in the
questions of internal order in Spain there
are two classes-those who approve the
events at Barcelona in July. and those
who were persuaded in advance that
Ferrer, educational reformer, had
taken no part In the events to which l
have referred
Ferrer Not Proven Innocent.
The statement then goes on to point out
that F'errer's counsel had not succeeded
in disproving the fact that Ferrer was
actually concerned in the Barcelona re-
bellion, on the strength of which the
court judged him as having actually TAX
en- part and directed the acts of the re-
bellion. for which crime he ought to un-
dergo capital penalty.
In conclusion the statement says:
The trial was conducted by competent
authorities. and the established formaIi-
ties were observed"
The quaintest paragraph in the state
ment Is that in which the foreign minister
states:
ITO this sentence Spanish opinion is nat
uraily better informed than public opin-

FAMOUS SULKER FACES

So Disposed.
BY PAUL II. BRusKe.

WICHITA. Kas., April 5.-Outfielder
Pennell, one of the members OF the
club which the Tigers are scheduled to
play today, is probably the most no
torious sulker In baseball and readers
OF the Times OF past seasons may re-
call some OF the stories told Of him
by Capt Schaefer.
He is possessed OF baseball ability
which, coupled with a good disposition
would have made him one OF the shin
ing stars of the game In the big
league, but Is cursed with an inclina-
ton TO sulk on small or no provoca-
ton.
When sulking he will refuse TO move
a step for a fly ball and takes grim
delight in striking maliciously at the
first three balls pitched TO him when
at bat.
When he wants TO play he Is YER
table Sam Crawford. His good moods
and his bad are about evenly divided.
Edgar Willetts hopes that his former
teammate Is in one Of his blue spells

JENNINGS READY
TO TRY CATCHING
Announces That. If Beckendorf Il
Hurt He Will DON a Mask Him
self-Got His Start As Catcher.

WICHITA, Kas., April 5.-Now that
the two teams have split and one OF
the Tiger aggregations is campaigning
through the Indian country with Os
car Stanage, IL develops that the dig
its OF Harry Beckendorf are about the
most important portions of the first
team equipment.
Beckendorf is the only catcher with
the outfit Killifer, who is supposed
also to be quite backstop, is with
Stanage on the second team and the
only possible relief In sight is Hughie
Jennings, provided the noisy boy gets
a funk that will put him out of 1t.
Hughie states that this Is just what
he is hoping for Not that he wishes
any harm TO come TO Beckendorf; he
merely wants to show few OF his reg
ular players who have been making
sarcastic remarks regarding the old
time Oriole's present ability. just what
sort of ball player he still is yet.
IF Beckendorf gets hurt, under
stand that I'm the catcher said
Hughie this morning. And he acted
as IL he meant every word OF it.
Old-time fans and those who have
read any Of the Jennings biographies
OF recent date will recall that the Tig-
er executive got his start In the game
as a catcher. and as such debutted at
Louisville for his first trial In the big
league. Only accident ever took him
to the shortstop position. and he has
never entirely abandoned his first
love in the choice of jobs.
OF course, Hughes throwing would
be joke, so far as speed Is concern
ed, but he Is still there with the brainy
bean, and II Is more than possible that
he could make up for a share OF his
throwing deficiency in the rapidity
with which he could get the ball away
AS far as the batting end OF the
game is concerned, there would be no
difficulty regarding Hughie Jennings.
He Is a better sticker than several
right good pail players on his team
right now, as he shows once In a
while in batting practice when he
walks up TO the plate and smashes
the ball AS he used to when. as a
member of the world-champion Orioles
from Baltimore. he was one OF the
most feared men in the National
league

ship, follow:
Training or directing the training of
a ball team requires more study than
the fight for the pennant. In the first
place, the players report for training
soft. The chances are they have
spent the winter taking life easy and
have to begin at the bottom, so far
as their physical condition is con-
cerned.
To condition the body, especially il
IL is a bit fat. requires a preliminary
boiling at some place like Hot Springs
or West Baden. There the players
prepare for the work TO follow.
After the baths have cleansed the
system. actual training begins. Only
the llghtest work is permitted for the
FIRST few days. More good players
have been spoiled by overwork In the
spring than in any other way, They
overdo, because they forget that mus
Giles and tendons are far from what
they should be.

men who use judgment in training.
They have experienced the knocks,

In the south They know what they

Raw weather Is the players worst
enemy, but have taught my men not
to use their arms on such days. An
incident OF the present trip will Illus
trate this.
We were advertised TO play an ex-
hibition with an All-Star team the
last day in Hot Springs, and 1000 paid
admission. But cold. raw wind pre-
vailed, and, rather than permit the
men TO risk themselves. we did not

Ny advice is: Take no chances in
the spring. Be careful with players.
for ambition will lead them to do
things a manager can stop IL he keeps
his eyes open.
Next to getting into condition, the
inside work counts. Every bit OF in.
side work the Cubs are famous for IL
the result OF hard hours spent In prac-
ticing the tricks during the training
trips.
Spring is the time to teach inside
baseball. The players are more re-
ceptive. because they are south for
their baseball education.
Ideas OF a heady player sometimes
fail. but IL tried often enough the net
result will be profitable.
Forget the idea OF winning practice
games. They are for purpose differ
ent from the league contests. Players
must avoid exertion In these prelim-
mary battles, which are to perfect
team work and round out the training
