The fact that the American League
Is out for "a 154 game schedule for 1910
and the National League for 16S has
caused some talk as to how the worlds
series would be arranged next year or
whether there would be any at all. 1t
Will mean that the junior major circuit
must start the eason quite some later
than the clubs in the Lynch circuit
This plan will be necessary in order to
have the winning clubs in both leagues
meet. in the worlds series as soon as
possible after their respective league
seasons have closed. If the American
Leaguers finish the season a week or
ten days ahead of the National
Leaguers it isn't likely that the john
sonites would wait that time to start
the series. 1t would be a great dis
advantage to the Americans. Both
leagues had better adopt schedules of
the same length and not jeopardize the
worlds series.

iHg to America. Mr.. How. who is known
as the millionaire Hobo" went to Lon

WIFE WAS A FORGER.
For This Reason Fred Rowland Hill
Asks for Decree.

New York, July 24-F'red Rowland Hill,
scion of a proud Colonial family, has OBJ
tanned an annulment of his marriage to
Eugene A. Hill, daughter of a banker of
Ridgefield, N. J., on the ground that
when he married her two years ago, while
she was teaching a Sunday. school class
in Paterson, n. J., she had already served
a three-year sentence on conviction Of
forgery.
MIR Hill testified that from the time he
was married until he left his bride he had
been worried by some one who had forged
his name to many checks. Employing de-
tectives Mr.. Hill said that the result was
that his wife signed admission that
she was the author of those checks.
In the same statement, which was sub
mitted to court and which was backed by
the records of the Bedford reformatory
in this state it was shown that Mrs. Hill
had been married in 1901 to Simeon Har-
old Baker and that it was while living
as his wife that she was convicted of for
gerry and sent to Jail. On being released
and after Baker had obtained a divorce
she went to live with her sister in Pater-
SON assuming her maiden name and in
the Sunday school there she met Mr.. Hill
Mr. Hill testified that he believed she was
single and knew nothing of her former
trouble.

Another Important Witness for the
SuttOns Reaches Annapolis.

Annapolis. Nd, July 24.-Pending
the resumption of the investigation
into the death of Lieutenant James n
Sutton of the marine corps before the
naval board of inquiry here Monday,
counsel for Suttons mother and sis
ter were occupied today in examining
the testimony so far taken with view
to a more rigid cross examination OF
the remaining naval officers to be
called as witnesses.
The testimony of Chauffeur owens
which yesterday indicated that young
Sutton had tried to avoid a fight with
Lieutenant Adams and the other off,
GERS. who were taken to camp in
Owenss car on the night of the shoot
ing has thrown the first light on the
affair from a witness outside of the
service. The principal points Owens
testified to went far to strengthen the
theories of those who believe the
young man was slain. Suttons moth
err and sister, Mrs. Rose Parker. were
very emphatic in their declarations to-
day that the facts would Yet be
brought to light to show that Lieuten-
ant Sutton was stripped and beaten to
death on the night of October u,
1907.

marine corps at Norfolk who is said to
be an important witness for the SUIT

Street Railway co. 1t was written as
reply to an order issued to the
company to raise their tracks on
Eighth avenue between Kansas ave-
nue. and Harrison street to conform
to the grade of the new paving just
put in on that street.
1.-The whole situation" reads the
letter. sis covered by our franchise
ordinance which provides that the
company once having placed it's
tracks to grade, any expense incurred
thereafter by raising or lowering said
tracks shall be paid for by the city.
The city has in several cases recog-
nized this provision of our franchise
by paying the expense of raising
tracks necessitated by changes in
grades, two recent instances being on
Madison street and on East Sixth
street. So. the matter rests entirely
with the CITY and not with the To-
peka Railway Co. Our track on
Eighth avenue was built according to
the grade established by City Engin-
eer McCabe."
