AS a usual thing the pickpockets

cause the man captured seldom has
the loot. f'-,sr
Not but that the higher grade dips
work in such places. The difference is
that they work in groups and choose
times when prosperous passengers will
be in the majority. During the fash
ionable shopping hours and after the
theaters at night are considered har-
vest times. One method is to block
the exit as the intended victims are
about to alight and in the tumble make
the touch" Provided the victim dis
covers his loss within a minute he is
too late, because the car or train has
sped on.
Last winter a trio of dips worked

themselves in evening clothes, they

Berlin, Sept. 4.-Lidji Jeassu, crown

not make an exception of King Meme

BALLINCER TO
KILL some
Secretary's Significant Remark
About Conservation Dispute,
MAY GIVE OUT STATEMENT

Will Confer With President Taft, and
Said the Entire Matter VIII Be
Made Public-says His Department
Has Nothing to Fear From an In.

Washington, Sept. 4.-'Incidental-

close of the first day after his hur-
ried trip from the Pacific coast, "inci

The remark was made in response
to questions relative to the Ballinger
Pinchot controversy regarding water
power plants, the Cunningham Alas
kan coal entries and other conserva-
ton matters.
Mr.. Ballinger refused to explain the
purport of his remark, and declined to
further discuss the matters in con
troversy between his department and
the forestry bureau.
"Manifestly," he said, "1t would BE-
improper for me to talk on this sub
ject. The heads of the various divis-
ions of the department which are in
volved in this controversy have ali
prepared their reports, and I expect
to submit the whole question to tho
president at an early day. I could not
therefore, properly go into the sub
ject at this time further than to say
that my previous knowledge of the
situation, together with the informa-
tion l have derived from the perusal
of the reports of Messrs. Pierce, Den,
nett and Schwartz, justifies the state
ment that this department has moth
ing to fear from the closest scrutiny
of the conduct of it's officials"

there early next week. He spent much

Mr.. Ballinger intimated that he nigh

respect would depend entirely upon
the wishes of the president. He had
no doubt, however, that a full state

BUSINESS BASEBALL.
The Advent of Gate Receipts In the
National Came

iNaliOIial SamSs
The professional baseball player, as
such, was unknown before the civil
war. One finds, indeed, signs in the
newspapers Of the period that our
sporting men" drew no very sharp
line between the amateur and the oc-
casional professional. That perhaps
was only natural. Athletics were a
new thing to us. We had yet to learn
the dangers and the finer ethics of
sport. For example, the first conven-
tion of amateur clubs, held in 1859,
felt called upon to pass a rule against
paying players. There was no money
in the game as yet, only glory, but cer-
tain rich nonplaying members Of the
fashionable clubs had begun to lure
stars from other clubs by offers of
money or "jobs."
The foundation stone of professional
baseball. however, was laid when the
Atlantics, the Eckfords, the Mutuals
and the other crack teams of Brook
lyn began playing on the old Union
grounds. This arena was q fenced
basin used in winter as a skating
rink. In 1862 the owners decided to
make it continuously profitable by
turning it into a summer baseball park.
Experimentally they charged a regu-
lar ten cent fee at the gate. They
found that spectators were willing to
pay even when they raised the price
to 25 cents. Half Of these fees went
to the ground owners and half to the
clubs. So came the appetite for gate
receipts, and business had entered
the game.-Collier's Weekly.

THINK 1T MENTAL ILLUSION
Believes Cook Was Affected by Strain
and Inoanined He Reached Pole

and Imagined He Reached Pole.
Philadelphia, Sept. 4.-That DR..
Cooks reported discovery Of the North
part of the explorer, superinduced by
the monotony of a two years sojourn
in the polar regions, was the belief
expressed by DR.. Robert M. Keely, of
this city, who accompanied Peary in
his North Greenland expedition of
1901-02, and thus became intimately
acquainted with DR.. Cook.
"Those who have never seen the i'm
mensity of the Arctic zone, the jagged,
crumpled appearance of the frozen sur
face" said DR.. Keely, "can hardly i'm
agine what dangerous, and almost
superhuman accomplishment 1t is to
penetrate these frigid regions. DIR.
Cook was bent on reaching the pole
His mind was occupied with but the
one thought. Apart from any civil
lied being, he lived for months. From
what I know of the Peary expedition
and the conditions near the pole, l
can only conclude that DR.. Cook is

veracity Of 1t is a question of mental
illusion.
II do not believe that it is impossi-
BILE to reach the pole, but 1t seems i'm
probable that one man can accomplish
the feat. AS for the Eskimos, their
testimony is valueless. They haven't
even written language. They do not
even know what the North Pole
means.
Peary Was Near Cook.
"But there is one thing which will
shed great deal of light on what
must be a mooted question until con-
firmation from some other source be-
sides DR.. Cook is advanced, and that
Peary and Cook were within 200 miles
of each other, and if, as reported, Dr.
Cook made daily observations, COM
parison of the conditions Of the ice
or weather would mean a great DEAL
for 1t Is unreasonable to believe that
climatic conditions are radically diff
ferent within so small distance as
100 or 200 miles. If Peary reports an
unusual condition of the ice alone, it
will partly confirm DR.. Cooks state
mept, for with nothing short Of that
could the Pole have been reached. The
ice drift has never been northward,
according to the reports Of any Of the
explorers in any expedition. With the
object Of gaining headway with the
drift, explorers have tried to freeze
their ships to the ice MASSES, but to
no avail. Travelling 100 miles in seven
days, as DR.. Cooks story would indi-
cate, seems impossible. I confidently
believe that DR.. Cook was affected by
the strain Of his journeys, and has
come to believe that he has reached
the pole"
