yesterday in the Roberts case. Reese
Roberts sat in the dock nonchalantly
chewing tobacco. In answer to Attor-
ney-General Gray, Gill testified that
he saw the cherry tree on August 25.
He told of fitting the club with which
the Casey's were murdered TO the
piece of the wild cherry tree cut off,
and another piece that fitted the top
of the club.
William r. Hayes. a reporter, had
seen the piece of cherry tree before
it was cut off. Whortenby took him
there and he saw it detached. Gillis,
Ratledge and Whortenby cut off this
piece of the tree, Hayes said.
Mrs Baldwin was recalled and tes-
tilted that she had seen Roberts pic
ture in THE EVENING JOURNAL
and recognized him by it as the face
of the man who was at the window Of
her home in August the night of the
murder.
Constable Whortenby testified that

August %. He described his route
through the fields where he found the
tracks. He followed them to the wild
cherry tree. From there the footprints
went across a corn field and he lost

SIS WIS L.MO0RE 1

- SHINGTON, Oct. 12-Willis l..
49,. chief of the United States
Nksher Bureau, is again under fire
The charges are made by James Ber-
ry. a division chief of the bureau
for seventeen years. One of the counts
that Mr. Berry makes against Mr.
Moore is that he has pursued and is
now pursuing a policy of withhold
ing forecasts Of the weather bureau
for the deliberate purpose of Gre
ating complaints, then blaming Con-
gress for not granting additional ap-
propriations. MIR. Berry says that the
chief has reduced the number OF
places receiving the forecasts and spe-
cial warnings of the bureau by 1870,
making the total the smallest since
the year 1866, Notwithstanding there
has been no diminution in the amount
of money appropriated for this im-
portant work. Mr.. Berry threatens
TO bring all of the facts in his pos
session TO the attention of Congress
and TO demand an investigation. He
asserts that no committee of Congress
can afford to overlook the information
which he will lay before IL concerning
the management of the bureau. II,
asserts that Mr.. Moore holds tyran
nical sway over the bureau and manip
ulates the government business t.
suit his own whims rather than th'
needs OF the public.

BUSINESS MEN TO
BACK CLUB AGAIN

Williamsport has come forth with
the statement that the~Tri-State fran
chise will remain there next year in
stead OF coming TO Wilmington.
In speaking OF the situation at Will
Transport, the Gazette and Bulletin
says
Baseball is not deaa I'm Williams
port. There is every probability that
the team will be seen I'm the Tri-State
as usual when spring time comes and
II goes without saying that il will be
lighting for the top notch just as IL
has in past seasons.
Heretofore the burden of carrying
the Willlamsport club has fallen upon
the shoulders Of few men. That they
should become tired of Il is not at all
surprising. The real surprising fea-
ture of the thing is that the city of
Williamsport has never been canvass
ed to secure the money needed to iin-
ance the club and that Is just what
will now be done.
"Plans have taken shape in the past
few days by which a canvass OF the
city will be made to secure the neces-
sary funds for 1911. The men who
have been behind the club I'm the past
stand ready to do their share. but de-
cline to go any urther. Responsible
men have decided to go after the
money needed and that is all that II

American, If Johnson Has
Way, VIII Close About
October |
NATIONAL LIKELY
TO DO LIKEWISE

Notwithstanding the fact that ideal
fall weather up TO last Thursday ia
yored the post-season series between
the Giants and the Highlanders and
the worlds series between the Cubs
and the Athletics, It is almost certain
that the season Of 1911 will end much
earlier in both the National and Amer
lean Leagues than IL did this year
President ban" Johnson of the
American League has made the posi-
tive announcement that the season OF
1911 of his League will end about
October j.
Johnson has the united support OF
the American League club owners,
and what he says goes. The Ameri-
can Leagues representative said re-
Gently:
In every respect the 1910 season
has been the banner year of the Amer
ican League both financially and I'm
tho standard of play. The clubs OF
the League played to bigger crowds
this season than in any other sea-
son. The short schedule, for which
the League has always stood, prov
ed another big success, but steps
will be taken at the winter meeting
to fix a schedule that will end the
season on or about October 1"
II looks like an old-time National
League ruction when the magnates
get together for their annual meet
! ing next December. While a fight
over the presidency is expected, il
will prabably be tame compared tc
the clash over the playing schedule
of 1911. It is said that President
| Charles II. Ebbets of the Brooklyn
Club intends to once more propose {
| l6S game schedule. If Ebbets plan
goes through il is a cinch that th'
worlds series between the Athletic
and the Cubs will be the last playeI
between American and Nationa
League clubs.
ltIlooks like a good proposition Il
have the National Commission fix tn
schedule for the two leagues. In tha
way the prolonged pickering tina
marred the National League meetin
could be avoided.
President Barney" Dreyfuss of tn
Pitsburg Club announces that ne
prepared to go to the December meet
ing ready to advocate a short sea
SON He is in favor OF Hogan
schedule, and gives. several good rea
sons to his colleagues in support o
shorter season.
How the National League magnate
will take the proposition of Dreyfus
remains TO be seen. If majority o
the club owners vote for a long sched
ule it will surely be taken as an ad
mission that they do not think thei
teams have a chance to win the Ma
tional League pennant
