lem prior to this race. In the second
heat Of the race The Outlaw won in
ala IA, which again reduced the

"BILLIES'' TALK
JARS CIRCUIT
Tri-Stater Doesn't Bla m e
WiIIiamSpOrt for Dropping
Club
New York Dispatch says


The most surprising announcement
since the organization of the league.
is that Williamsport will probably not
enter the 1911 race. That city has
been one of the most important fac
tors in Carpenters fold for years.
Never experiencing a losing team and
always coming forward with any
amount of money necessary for play
ers or other expense the Million
aires" are about ready to CALL quits
Lack of patronage is given as the
cause The hackers of the club are
firing of paying out salaries and de-
flcits from their own pockets. II
stories believed in many Tri-State
cities are true regarding the salary
expense of the team the "Billtown"
directors can hardly be blamed.
The fact that the Williamsport club
never allowed the matter OF expense
to count I'm getting the best possible
material for the team in recent years
has aroused the enmity of the other
clubs. At the league meeting in Ian
caster before the opening Of the pres
ent season a ruling was adopted
which made it possible to drop from
the fold any team on a majority vote
of the directors. 1t is said that this
ruling was made with the express
purpose of making it possible to get
rid Of Williamsport at any time the
league directors so desired.
Now, however, there is every like
lihood that the club will withdraw
at the end of the season on its own
accord. The other cities, and Presi-
dent Carpenter himself, it is said,
would not be averse to dropping the
club.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Tie President Who Turned
Night Waterman
BY "Holland."
BY "Holland.'

Shortly after General Chester A.
Arthur succeeded to the presidency
of the United States, he took into his
cabinet, as Secretary of the Treasury,
Charles J. Folger. whose predecessor
in the portfolio, William Window, had
resigned in order to undertake a can
vass for a seat in the United States
Senate from Minnesota. For years
President Arthur and Judge Folger
had been intimate friends, and with
the latter a member of the cabinet
that friendship served to secure Mr..
Folger unannounced entrance to the
Presidents room at any hour of the
day of night. The president, too,
showed his friendship by calling upon
his Secretary of the Treasury in
formally whenever the spirit moved
him. General Arthur. incidentally, was
as unconventional and informal in his
relations with his cabinet as Lincoln
was with his, and he was the first
president in years to accept invita-
tons of a social nature at private
houses.
It so happened that one afternoon,
about an hour after the Treasury De-
partment had closed for the day, the
President, having some business to
talk over with Judge Folger, deter
mined to call upon him at the depart
ment Walking thither unaccompanied
and gaining the long main corridor or
the building. he made his way along
the deserted passageway to a point
near the door which opened into Sec
rotary Folger's private office. Here
he met p man who seemed TO be of
some minor authority.
DO you know whether or not Sec
rotary Folger is in his Officer" asked
the President.
"No. sir. l do not" was the reply.
We'll, are you employed here in the
Treasury Department"
Yes. sir, I am. l am one of the
night watchmen, and l have just gone
on duty"
do you suppose you could find out
for me whether or not Judge Folger
is in his office? I'll stand watch for
you while You are doing So"
Yes. sir, I will try to find out for
you" And suiHng his actions to his
words, the night Waterman disappear
ed. leaving the President Of the
United States standing guard in the
corridor OF the Treasury building
Presently, the night Waterman re-
turned. mo. sir, Secretary Folger is
not in. He has been gone for about
half an hour"
II thank you very much" said the
J President. He touched his hat to the
| man before him and was leaving.
when another night Waterman came
along the corridor and, with a pro-
found bow, paid his respects 10 the
/ President Of the United States. In an
other moment the newcomer had turn
ed 10 his fellow employe. DO you
know who that was I bowed to-" he
asked.
NO, 7 do not" was the reply, but

STATES HIS POSITION
Mayor Gives His Side of Controversy
Over Cleaning the Cutters

Mayor M. j. Scholey in an interview
this afternoon stated that he did not
desire to have any clash with the com
mittee on streets and alleys. The
mayor declares that all he is asking to
have done is that seven men be put
to work to open up the CATCH basins.
He states that this is the proposition
which he made to the street commits
sioner and to the committee in charge
of street work and that he never made
any suggestion for cleaning cutters.
The matter is now a question of
veracity between the mayor and the
members of the committee as several of
the members of the committee insist
that the mayor desired to open up the
street cutters. The mayor on the come
back insisted that he never desired
to make a large expenditure of money
or employ large number of men but
desired that the catch basins be open
ed up so that the walks would be left
free of water.
The mayor in his interview declared
that he did not have any political pur-
pose in putting the men to work.
