The late r. II. stearns, head Of the
great mercantile firm which bears his
name, was pre-eminently a self.made
man, and his praises as sung by the Bos-
ton Transcript furnish an incentive to
many another and younger man. Says
The Transcript: "The life Of the late
r. H. Stearns was full Of years and
honors. Flo was emphaticallY a self
made man, the founder Of his own for
tune, and he founded it on the indie.
struetible base of industry, integrity and
foresight. Like many Of the merchants
Of the old school. Mr. Stearns' first cap.
ital was his hands and bis brain. He
began in a small way and built up a
great business by his large comprehen-
sion Of the needs, tastes and develop
ment Of the public. Nor did be in the
application his business demanded ignore
the duties Of citizenship He did not con-
tent himself with passive citizenship.
He had served the state and the city
with credit in the legislature and as
member Of the school committee. Such
careers as that Of Mr.. Stearns present
few episodes that arc spectacular; rather
do they teach the value to the public Of
the life Of the good citizen and good
business man as the promoter BY indi-
vidual effort and example Of the common
weal.''

DISPUTE OVER PITCHER VAUGHN

NEW YORK, Aug. 21s-It would ap-
pear that the case of Pitcher James
Vaughn, which has aroused consider
able feeling between the two major
league clubs has not reached an end.
The New York American league club
which maintained that it has legal
claim to Vaughn's services will resist
any attempt to take the player away.
1t is said that President Ban Johnson
will soon receive an affidavit signed by
Vaughn to the effect that he was told
that the National commission would
award him to the Louisville American
Association club, which would then
turn him over to Cincinnati. But the
New York American league club has
documentary proof meanwhile, it is
said. that Vaughn was never released
to the Macon club, which sold him to
Louisville and to Brooklyn. 1t is fur
ther contended by the New York club
that Garry Hermann, owner of the
Cincinnati club, according to baseball
precedent, should have voluntarily de-
clined to vote on Vaughn's case and
should have left the matter entirely
to the judgment of President johnson
and President Heydler.
