.GYPSEY SEARCHES
FOR LOST DAUGHTER
SAYS SHE WAS STOLEN BY a
BAND THAT he THINKS IS
At BIRMINGHAM.

Thomas Speerio, gypsey, was in
town today looking for his daughter,
Annie, who was stolen by a band Of
gypseys near Indianapolis about four
months ago, according TO his story.
Speerio appears to be quite an in
telligent fellow. and Ia much affected
by the loss of his daughter, and has
statements from police officers from a
large number of towns and cities in
Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee,
which show that he passed through
those places in search for the missing
girl, which he is prosecuting indus
triously and intelligently. He called
at the local Iolice station and consult
ed the officers, but if the party passed
through this city it must have been in
the night as they seem not to have
been seen. A statement from the
Chief of Police at Nashville shows
that Speerio visited that city about
three weeks ago on the mission which
brought him to Columbia. He expects
to overtake the band at Birmingham,
as a fair will be held there early in
October, and he is now headed in that
direction.
The daughter is 13 years old, and
Speerio says that she was abducted
without his knowledge, otherwise he
would have killed the person making
the attempt. He says the girl is I'M
able to speak English, and he does
not speak very plainly himself, but
he has no dificulty in making people
understand him.
The band is said to have number
of fortune tellers among them, and
Speerio thinks they will surely be
found at the Birmingham fair.
Speerio was pronounced type OF
gypsey, if there are any to be found in
America It is said that there are but
few of the simon pure gypseys liv-
ing, and all, or nearly, of them, are
found in Europe.

NEY WHICH PERMITTED HER
TO COLLECT PART OF INCOME

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Robert Win
throp Chandler has revoked the pow
er of attorney he gave Lima Cavalier
to collect the income from his estate
under the famous antenuptial agree
ment. This statement was made to-
day by Sidney Harris, Chambers at
torney, who said that notice of the re-
vocation had been served on the trus-
tees of the estate. No other action
is needed, Mr.. Harris declared, to give
effect to the revocation, and it will
not be filed in an Office of record.
This move is intended to make 1t
impossible for Cavalieri to obtain an
income from the three trust funds set
aside for Chandler.
Within two or three days Mr.. Har-
ris intends to answer the summons
and complaint filed by attorneys for
Mrs. Julia Chamberlain Chandler,
Chambers first wife, which questions
the legality of his agreement with his
bride. Mr.. Harris would not indicate,
however, what will be the nature Of
his reply.

MAY ORGANIZE
BASEBALL LEAGUE
SEVERAL or THE BEST PLAYERS
IN THE COUNTRY READY
TO REVOLT.

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, Sept 27.-There is q
great deal Of talk going the rounds In
sporting circles Of the organization Of
another big league" of professional
baseball clubs. This is not the annu-
al gossip that is heard everyfall and
winter but the players themselves are
taking the matter up, and have made
certain demands on the national base
ball commission. Unless the demands
are granted, it is more than likely
that about fifty Of the best baseball
players in the country will revolt,
form a league of their own, secure
lnew talent, and place a club in eight
of the largest cities of the United
States. This, if it should be done.
will make twenty-four ball clubs
which may be classed as the perfec-
ton of baseball playing.
Nothing definite has been done in
regard to the matter as yet. Howev-
er, the following players are among
those mentioned as being in the new
Organization: Chase, first basenan,
New York Americans; King, catcher,
Overall, Brown, Reulbach, Pfiester,
pitchers, Chicago Nationals; Wagner,
lshortstop, Pittsburg; MatthewsOn,
pitcher, Merkle, f1rstbase, New York
Nationals; Breshnahan, catcher, st.
Louis Nationals; Krause, Bender and
Plank, pitchers, Philadelphia Ameri-
cans. and Donovan, pitcher, Detroit
Americans. Several other prominent
players, it is believed, will join the
new association, which gives the play
er more liberties than the present ar
arrangement.

Starts Training at Mona Springs-Sul-
Ivan Persona Non Grata.

Reno, New, June 23.-Jim Jeffries
played baseball this morning with his
entire staff of trainers on the little
park adjoining his camp at Mona
Springs. The big fellow is delighted at
being able to play on a regular dia-
mond and romped like a colt when he
entered the enclosure today
JenrieS played hard and his trainers
watched him closely to see if sharp ex-
ercise in this high altitude would af-
feet his wind. They were delighted to
note that the fighter showed no evil
dence of distress.
A punching bag platform has been
put up and is now ready for use and
the floor Of the open air pavilion at the
springs has been padded and covered
with canvas.
All is now in readiness for boxing and
if Jeffries carries out a plan he an
nounced early in the day, he will do a
good bit of ring work this afternoon
He said he intended to take on all of
his sparring companions in quick sue
cession for two or three rounds each,
and without resting between the re-
lays.
John L. Sullivan arrived here this
morning from San Francisco and was
given a warm welcome by large
crowd at the station.
With the site surveyed and staked off
ground, the arena at Big Fight prom
Uses to materialize rapidly within the
next few days.
Promoter Hester said today that Sam
Langford and his manager, Joe Wood
man, probably would arrive here to-
night or tomorrow morning from San
Francisco.
Because of strained relations between
John L. Sullivan and Jeffries and Cor
bett, caused. it is said, by harsh COM
ments by Sullivan in his newspaper
writings on the big fight, it is under
stood that Sullivan will not visit Mona
Springs until assured he will receive a
friendly reception.
Tex Richard says he will endeavor to
straighten out the misunderstanding"
between the men and it is understood
he has advised Sullivan not to bother
Jeffries or Corbett until he has poured
oil on the turbid waters
Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast.

day from Chicago. Jones believes the
Milwaukee fighter will be here in time
to witness the big fight.

BAKERS CALLED IN.
They Give Certificate of Good Charac-
ter to BIeached Flour.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 23.-Millers
and bakers testified at the bleached
flour trial in the federal court here
today in opposition to the govern
ment's charge that the process of
bleaching flour aduIterates the product.
Prof Lucius E. Sayres. dean of the
school of pharmacy of the University
of Kansas and director of drug an
alysis for the Kansas board of health,
testified that he had eaten bread made
from bleached and unbleached flour
and that he was unable to detect any
difference between the breads from the
two products. He said he had used
bread made from bleached flour in his
home and found that it did not affect
the digestion of his wife. whose "di-
gestion is very susceptible to the eff
fects of extraneous matter in her
food" From this he concluded that
the process OF bleaching -four did not
injUre it.
On cross examination Professor
Sayres admitted that -four whether
bleached or not was not poison
whether taken in large or small guam,
titles. This testimony coutradicted
evidence given for the millers earlier
in trial
Pierce Butler, government attorney,
drew an admission from 7. J. Hol-
bridge, Kingman, Kan. miller, that
bleaching of flour made from wheat
containing yellow berry made it look
practically like flour made from Tur-
key wheat. On cross examination,
Holdridge testified flour made from
wheat containing yellow berry was in
ferior to Turkey wheat flour. The
point Attorney Butler tried to empha-
size was that bleaching hid inferiority
Adolph Boultes and F. H Hohengar-
ten, st. Louis bakers. testified they
could see no difference between
bleached and unbleacheI flour so far
as dough was concerned. L. NJ. Shore
croft, a flour merchant of Clinton, Ia,
said he found his trade liked bleached
flour best.

Lige Wooley the little center fielder
Lige has returned with an attack Of
grip and malaria, hoping to wear 1t
off by a weeks rest. He is lying at his
rooms this afternoon and when seen
by a reporter explained that it was
the same old malaria which confined
him to his bed three davs in Denver
and two in Wichita on the last pre-
vious trip. He has lost ten pounds in
weight in the hot sun and says his all
ment seems to have affected his knees
most, so that it is almost impossible
for him to walk about.
Lige was shifted by Cooley from
center to left to save him the long
runs. but an Omaha physician adj
vised Cooley that if he didn't want to
lose his fielder for the season he had
better give him a rest. The direct
news Lige brings from the team is
that Kunkle has sprained his knee and
can not play, that Kerns has an in
Reilly is still out of the game with his
ankle and that Harris has to play an
outfield.
Schmidt has replaced Kunkle at
third. Boles has to play short and
there is no relief for Kerns, though
Henry was used Wednesday, Kahl has
sore arm and can hardly get the
ball across, but has to stay in.
By way of assistance in the time of
hard luck, Cooley has secured Steve
Ragen, not the old Stevie. but an out
fielder from Birmingham. Raglan is
expected to play today.

I'VE had an exciting moment COM
ing over the Swabian hills when we
were compelled to ascend sharply by
lifting the rudder.

THE immense vessel steered as
easily as a motor car without the
least trace of swaying.
"As it rose from Lake Constance at
Friederichshafen at daybreak a light
rain was falling. but it soon gave way
to brilliant sunshine. A little later the
airship passed over the vast eXpanse

After the airship reached the

crowded with people whose cheers
were family borne up to the Voyagers

Smith Auto Strike Is OFF.

Inc union wage schedule is not an
issue In the Smith automobile factory
Oh thls city winch is now being oper-
ated as an open shop with union scale

dlrnculty between men and managers
on account of the request of the man
ayers that the master workmen give
instruction to their helpers as they
were doing to the regular apprentices.
The union men and apprentices walked
out and for a long time nonunion men
were employed exclusively. Under the
recent organization of the company
the question was dropped and most of
the workmen are members of the
union, all getting standard scale of
pay. The machinists union has de-
clared the strike off.
