Will Be Finest in Country.

Chicago. Jan. 30.-Charley Comiskey.
owner of the Chicago Americans. SAYS
that the new home of the White Sox, at
Soth street and Wentworth avenue, will
more than compare favorably with
FORBES field in Pittsburg and Shibe park
in Philadelphia. The Old Roman says the
new park will be formally opened on July
and that work on the grounds will be
started as soon as the frost leaves the
ground
Without exception the new park will
be the finest in the land" said Comiskey.
I'VE shall profit by the experience gained
by Ben Shibe and Barney Dreyfuss, who
have built great parks in the last two
years. The new stands and bleachers
will have embodied in them all the fea-
lures that make Forbes field and Shibe
park stand out among the most magnif-
cent baseball plants in the country"

Berlin, Jan. 30.-The Reichstag was
the scene Of an angry demonstration
of protest Saturday, when in the
course OF speech Her Won Oldenburg,

feet. protesting with shouts of mon
strous!" scandal" "impudence" and
breach of the constitution" The spec
tators joined in the uproar, which last
ed for several minutes.
Finally Herr Schrader. the venerable
Liberal member, secured attention and
made formal protest against Olden-
burg's remarks, which, he said, consti-
tuted a grave insult to the Reichstag
and to the Emperor and army.
The Conservatives, on the other
hand, had greeted Oldenburg's words
with laundering applause.
Herr Singer, Socialist member, speak
ing to a point of order, said that he
assumed that the President had not
heard the remarks of Oldenburg.
He assumed that the President had
not heard Oldenburgs declaration
otherwise he would have vindicated the
honor of the Reichstag. Prince Won
Hohenlohe, who was presiding, admit
ted that he had heard the words OBJ
jecteG to, but said that he understood
the speaker as meaning only to indi-
cate the degree to which military dis
cipline must be carried.
Oldenburg Immediately confirmed
this Interpretation of his statement
and added that he wished to show how
in extreme cases discipline would be
required of the army without regard tc
the constitution.
Herr Basserman, National-LiberaI
leader, said he recognized in the Of
fensive words contempt for the

with determined opposition. From a
political point of view Republican wa
tiers seemingly are becoming muddied
by several investigations which are in
progress, and the minority members
appear not unwilling to let this pro-

such as that being made into the af-
fairs of the interior department and

some effect on plans to amend land

Arizona and New Mexico statehood bill.
Other Investigations, sucn as those re-

the postoffice deficit and the causes Of

minimize the chances for complete

BOSTON WILL CLAIM SHARPE.
Lake Wants Former Newark Player If
Clarke Does Not.


Boston. Jan. 30.-"Bud" Sbarpe last
year with Newark and now on the re-
serve list of the Pittsburg club, may
be the first baseman of the Doves next
season. Manager Fred Lake says that
if Fred Clarke asks for waivers on the
former Indian he will claim Sharpe.
Bud was with the Boston Nationals
several seasons ago, being used in the
outfield, however, and not on first
base. After being dropped by the Doves
Sharpe went to the Tristate League
and then to the Eastern. Last year he
played splendid ball, and he was con-
sidered the best first sacker in the
Powers organization.
Sharpe was expected to be Pitts
burg's regular first baseman this year,
but after the Pirates bought Jack
Flynn from st. Paul Manager Fred
Clarke decided that he would not be
able to use Bud" Waivers are to be
asked on Sharpe in the next few days
and when they are requested Lake will
put in claim for him.
The Doves now have two men who
are able to play first base-Beck and
Kane-but Lake prefers Sharpe to eth
er of them. Manager Fred was sweet
on Kane for a long time, but fears
that the recent injury received by JIM
my in a basketball game in Pittsburg
may affect his playing. According to
Lake, there is absolutely no chance OF
Sharpe being allowed to return to the
Eastern League this year 1t was at
first rumored that Bud was to be
sent to Jersey City by the Pirates and
that all the National League club were
willing to waive on him.

NO ACTION NECESSARY
BY Government for Shooting Of Escap
ing Prisoner at kittery.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The navy de-
partment probably will deem it unnec-
cssary to take any action respecting
the killing of one and the wounding of
two inmates of the naval prison at
Portsmouth as a result of their dash
for liberty. The bare facts of the cpl
sode are the only advices which have
reached the department.
The commandment of the station will
appoint board of inquiry and if it is
borne out that the shooting by the
guards was in performance of their
duty to prevent the escape of the pris-
oners, the act will be considered justi-
fable and the department will take no
further cogniZance of it.
