PITCHER POWELL'S INSTRUMENTATION
 MAY PROVE COSTLY
Injured In Basketball Con- test Pittsburg Club Will Cut His Salary.

Pittsburg, Jan. 15.-Pitcher William Powell of the Pittsburg baseball club. formerly of Springfield. who has for some weeks now openly defied the own- CTS of the Pittsburg champions by playing basketball, was Wednesday right seriously injured in 8 game against Homestead. He was brought to the floor and so badly; hurt that he had to be assisteds from the hall. and physician yesterday gave the athlete advice to remain quiet for a week. Or something more serious might develop. Besides being hurt otherwise, one of Powell's eyes was injured in the mix up, and this is considered serious by the physician.
 The accident has been expected by President Barney Dreyfuss, who prom ises to make an example of Powell as a disobedient member of his baseball squad. When he heard. that Powell had been hurt, Dreyfuss said:
 Powell will only find how foolish he has been when he comes to sign his contract I know what salary the Pittsburg club paid him last year. 1 know what salary he is getting as a basketball player, and will deduct at least his basketball salary from what he is to get next year. He can take it or leave it.''
 It has been but a few days since Powell paid a visit to President Drey- fuss and had stormy interview with him over basketball Powell tried to rules in basketball it was next to inn possible for a player to hurt another. Dreyfuss refused to be convinced and Powell refused to quit the game, claim ing favoritism, in that Hans Wagner is permitted to play and he was not.

THE RIVALS TO
 BE PRESENTED BY
 B. H. $. STUDENTS

Lovers of Joseph Jefferson and those who will be glad to see again Sheri- dams comedy 'tThe Rivals soon to be given by the Seniors of the High school will be interested in the story of the plays career.
 On it's first appearance in London, January 1775, it met. not with the appreciation of the audience of today, but with scornful silence or criticism of some of the parts, but more es- pecially to the lack of discriminating actors. The first difficulty Sheridan himself corrected, for the second trou- ble, new players were found, who made the scenes thoroughly alive. Before the close of the eighteenth century the play had made enthusias- tic friends in Boston and New York. It was not, however, so mildly popu- lar as now, until Joseph Jefferson made it a part of his repertoire. Un- shortened, strong actors were given 1 important lines, and the part of Bob Acres was made famous. Many will remember the splendid presentation 1 in 1896. with an all-star cast touring l the country.
 Since the death of Jefferson the play has not been quite so popular but one needs only to remember that alere one meets again Mrs. Malaprop, the irate Sir Anthony Absolute, the low
 CT Captain Absolute, and the roman l tic Lydia to know that "The Rivals can give a bright afternoon or even- l ing.

ICE WATER RUN
 FOR THE ELKS
Feature of New Million Dol lar Building of B. F. O. E. In New York.

New York. Jan. 15.-Masons, Odd city are said to be suffering from jealousy as a result of stunt in- troduced in the new million dollar home of the Order of Elks now under construction. The innovation is run ming ice water. A third faucet has been installed at every basin in the house, and no longer will the distant tinkle of the slowly approaching pitch CT tantalize the thirsty Elk. This happy condition is assured by the es- tablishmelt of a private refrigerat- ing plant.
 The Elks' new home, at 1oS-116 West Forty-fifth street is to be a twelve story building. With a front age of 100 feet, it will have granite base. with limestone and brick above. A marble vestibule, a lodge room 75 feet square, a solarium with glass roof and bowling alleys in the base ment will help make this one of the handsomest of the Elks' houses call for 216 bedrooms and 160 baths; the bedrooms will have white trim and mahogany doors.
 Aside from the running ice water the Elks house will have unusual heat-resisting appliances. The con- struction is of the latest all-fire-proof type The steel frame will be en- ,losed in hollow terra cotta blocks like those used in the .sskyscrapers of the downtown financial district The partitions, also, will be of fire proof hollow tile, so that a fire, even if one starts, cannot spread. The worst it could do would be to burn out one room. Fire extinguishers are to be installed throughout the build ing

Especial from. United Press. )

Boston, Jan 15.-Refusal of the fam fly of Richard Olney, secretary of state in the Cleveland cabinet to give out information as to his condi- ton and their instructions to the at tendants at the Corey Hill hospital to keep silence, are grounds for the be- lief here today that MT. Olney's con dition is of the gravest. It is not de- nied that he has for days been at the point of death and rumors that he was operated on at the Corey Hill hospital last night meet with no con- tradiction.

BUSINESS FAILURES IN

Two Hundred and Two Concerns Went to the Wall With Liabilities Aggregating $2,232 900 -Fftysi six Were Manufacturing Concerns Which Owed Most of the Debts. Financial Fabric Stronger, But Opportunity to Go Into Business" Greatly Less.

Statistics of commercial failures, in 1909, which have been compiled by leading commercial agencies, show that the number of failures relative to the whole number of concerns in business is gradually decreasing. It is also shown that the number of new concerns engaging in business is much less than in earlier periods. The number of concerns failing in Connecticut were POP. They had as- sets of $1,231, ,00O, and liabilities of $2,352, 1000. There were no banking failure in the state. The bulk of the liabilities in Connecticut were those of 56 smaller, or larger, manufactur- ing concerns which went to the wall owing $1,755, ,000. The 143 trading concerns which failed owed but $532,0O0.
 The total failures in the United States were of 12,294 concerns which owed $154, ,603,0O0.
 But seven years in the past 35 have shown fewer failures and smaller lia- bilities. The modern system of cred

STEAMERS DOCK.
 HAZARDOUS TRIP
aISpecial from United Press.

New York, Jan. 15.-Creeping in after a hazardous and retarded trip across the Atlantic, the steamships St. Louis and Lusitania docked to- day. Both ships bore evidence of the heavy seas through which they had plowed. Slight damage was done to the bridge of the Lusitania and she had to content herself with an average speed of less than 20 knots an hour. One of the passengers on the St. Louis was Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Great Britain. who arrived nearly 24 hours after the fu- neral of D. O. Mills, his father-in- law, to attend which he left London.
 The actors of Sir Charles Wind hams company were also aboard the St Louis. Miss Maud Allan, the Diaphanous-dresse dancer, came in on the Lusitania She is billed for 50 performances. She is said to have carried all her costumes in small handbag.
