Chicago, April 16.-Replying to
charges of mismanagment and falsif.
cation of accounts made against Rob-
ert B. Armstrong. former president Of
the Consolidated Casualty Company,
by John F. Roche, a New York actu-
airy at Charleston, w. Va, Mr.. Arm
strong issued a statement, saying in
part:
"The report of Mr.. Roche reflects
the hostility which the company has
encountered from it's inception. For
practically two years there has been
apparently an organized effort to as
sassinate the company. These guer'
lila methods OF the competitors of the
company were encountered on every
side and enormously increased the
expense of organization. have been
warned scores of times in the last
two years that the Consolidated and
myself would be put out OF business.
"The president of n surety COM
pany, member of the Surety Trust,
told me that the only hope that the
Consolidated had in continuing in
business was to join the Surety AS
ISOLATION, otherwise known as the
Surety Trust. More recently have
been warned that the failure to main
tain rates would mean annimilation
of the Consolidated.
""This warfare of combined interests
on the Consolidated prevented it from
being licensed in a number OF states
where it had spent money and time
TO secure stockholders and a com
plete agency organization. Tempta-
ton had been very strong during the
last year for me to throw up my
hands and abandon the company.

a matter of duty to the stockholders.

nothing to my knowledge in the con-
duct of the company that has been
irregular. If mistakes were made.
they were mistakes of judgment. and

Gratis as Well as Republicans.
Washington. d. c., April 15.-Sena-
tor Elkins, exercising. as usual, the
same courtesy toward Democrats as
towards Republicans, yesterday intro
duced to the Supreme Court c. o,
Striebe, of Davis, w. Va, whs was adj
mitted to practice in that court.
Among his constituents in West Vir'
ginia it is not generally known that
Senator Elkins Is a lawyer. He is
better known as a railroad man and
capitalist, but he has been a lawyer
since early manhood.
In his earlier days Senator Elkins
practioed as a young mar in New
Mexico and was for a time district
attorney of that territory. Not only
did he practice law there, but he prac'
ticed at a time when the official Ian
guage of the court was Spanish and
all his motions and pleadings had to
be made in Spanish.
Owing to lack OF practice he has
lost some OF his ability to speak Span
ish but he still retains some knowl.

used in connection with his law prac,

From The World of Friday;

From The World of Friday;
Considerable stir was created IN
limestone circles yesterday evening
when 1t was noised abroad that repre-
sentatives of at least three of the big
companies operated in Berkeley coun-
ty were stopping at the hotel.
1t has been rumored for some time
that a combination of Interests was
on foot and the gathering of these
representatives put color TO the pic
ture.
Those who are on the inside have
nothing to say. The presence Of Mr..
Daniel Baker in Martinsburg Is not
significant and his interests here Of
ten bring him to M%artinsburg, but the
presence of representatives ~ the
Blair the National and the
Security led the people to believe that
there was something doing.
The gentleman visited the Standard
quarries this morning, and afterwards
went to the Baker quarries at Bunker
Hill, and then down to the Security
plant and arrived at the Blair plant in
time for dinner. The trip was made in
an automobile and they made a pretty
thorough inspection of all the work
ings in the county.
Mr.. Baker left on No. 5 this morn
ing. When seen by a World man he
very willing said that Messrs. Morris
and Stevens, of the American Lime
Company, who had come down here
with Mr.. McLanahan to see what Ber-
kelley county stone was like, and as
he had known them for many years
and they were old friends he came up
from Baltimore yesterday and this
morning accompanied them over the
Standards property.
The gentlemen who were here from
Central Pennsylvania are interested
more particularly in lime. They left
this afternoon over the Cumberland
Valley for their homes at Tyrone and
H~olidaysburg.

TOUCHING SECOND"
Evers New Book Appeals to Player
and Fan.

800
When Merkle failed to touch second
in the memorable game between Chi
cago and New York in 1908, 1t was
Johnny Evers who called the nmpire's
attention to the blunder that cost the
Giants a championship.
This was characteristic of the Chi
cago second baseman. He is conceed-
ed to be one of the greatest tactlcians
of the game. Nobody knows more
about inside baseball.
In collaboration with Hugh Fuller
ton, Mr.. Evers has just put this knowl
4dge into a remarkable book, called,
appropriately enough, Touching Sec
ond." The serial rights have been
purchased by the Philadelphia North
American, and Touching Second will
appear in The North American prior
to its publication in book form.
Seldom have instruction and enter
tainment been so cleverly combined
as in this work. The diamond star
who want to play the game better,
the youngster who wants TO learn
from the ground up, the ran VINO
seeks to improve his knowledge of
baseball, and wants a thousand ques-
tons answered, while at the same
time revealing in hundreds of entertain
ing stories of diamond heroes, a all
get what they want in this important
contribution to baseball literature.
The history of the game, baseball
law, personality of the players, how
the various position sshould be play
ed, stories of notable games. exposi-
tons OF the rules and a host OF other
. themes are treated.
The first instalment will appear In
The North American OF April "a, and
thereafter 1t will be a regular Sunday
feature. Order your North American
