CHARGES OF
SCALPING ARE
HARD TO PROVE

NEW YORK, Dec. august Herr
mann, president of the Cincinnati Club,
and chairman of the National Baseball
Commission, prepared this morning to
take up the worlds series ticket scan
dal witl~the commission. Our inyesti-
gators have looked into this thing very
carefully" said Mr.. Hermann, but
it's a difficult matter to trace all the
different charges we hear to their
source. Many of the allegations have
been investigated, and in some cases
nothing was found to show that they
were founded on fact. If anybody mas
any real evidence in thi. affair, the
commission will be glad to obtain it,

tails of the deals whereby Solomon Is

the negotiations are closed will not be

The price to be paid by Solomon,
and everything else, was decided upon
in a manner satisfactory to all. To
what extent, however. that Solomon

New York man has not yet severed his

do so In the near future.

AND SAC CALAMITY
Stony Hearted Thieves Undertook to
Stea. the Entire Flock of AIS Tur-
keys for HoItviIe Barbecue.

Imperial Valley citizens whose
mouths are even now watering at the
thought of the delicious turkey that is
to be served free TO the public at the
famous New Years barbecue at Holt
vile, little know how close their fond
hopes came to being blasted. Some
miscreants without the fear of the
wrath OF an hungry people made n
bold attempt the other night to steal
the entire flock OF AS turkeys being
fattoned for the great New Years
feast. Happily. they were deferred
from their foul purpose-no pun in
tended-and were driven away into
outer darkness by several shots fired
by the trusty turkey guards.
This fine flock of turkeys is being
kept at the ranch of p. w. Brooks,
where the birds are receiving daily
rations that just simply can't prevent
the turks from putting on about n half
a pound of flesh per day.
AOOul iuluulSHl tHc .~ouiu-oe tuT-
key thieves crept up to the corral and
made plans for capturing the whole
bunch of birds. But wise foresight
had placed a night guard on duty and
the thieves were discovered. The call
to halt was given, and when the ma
rauGers took to their heels they were
followed by several shots. No trace
of blood was found the next morning,
SO the shots must have gone wild. But
meanwhile, the people Of Imperial Val
icy have an extra cause for thankful
neSs-their New Years dinner is safe.

the election Of 1904 the story has been
continuously published and never de-
MED, except by you, that you asked
e. H. Hartman to contribute money
to aid in your election and that he
thereupOn raised or contributed $3.50
600 to the national committee fund.
Kncwing this to be untrue, ] several
times suggested to my superior officer,
G. n. Bliss, then treasurer of'the ma
tional committee, that the facts in the
case be plainly stated
Mr.. Bliss always believed that the
books and accounts of the national
committee We're private, and, al
though always carried on by him with
the highest sense of integrity and
honor he never, like all of his con-
temporaries, would consent to any pub
licity. This feeling has been changed
in the last few years by the laws re-
quiring full publicity in elections. 1t
seems, therefore, to me, that now, in
justice to you, the facts in the case
ought to be known.
Everyone knew and conceded that
in the election of 1904 you would carry
the state of New York by large plu-
rality, but it was generally believed
that Mr.. Higgins would be defeated
The Democrats centered their efforts
on the election of their candidate for
governor. About week before the
election, Mr.. Odeil, then chairman of
the New York state committee, came
to Mr.. Bliss and told him that unless
he had $250,000 from the national
committee the state ticket would be
defeated. Mr.. Bliss told Chairman
Odell that he had no money to give,
but would see what could be done He
visited e. H. Hartman at his office
and explained to him the urgency of
the situation as told by Odell
"Mr. Hartman thereupon called up
several of his friends on the telephone
and next day handed Mr.. Bliss $780,
900. Mr.. Bliss himself raised 500, 900.
This sum of $24O,OOO was handed di-
rectly to Chairman Odell, and never
in any way went into the treasury of

charge the presidential election. |

representatives in the field, while
there will also be representatives of
the grammar schols in each of the five
towns. In addition to these most or
all of the country district schools will
have representatives in the contest,
with the result that the valley will be
thoroughly searched for subscriptions.
The beauy of this is that no one can
lose. If in any district only one man
should subscribe through the schools
representative for the Press for ten
years, the pupils of the school will
receive So toward the purchase of ath-
letic equipment. If only one person
should subscribe for one year the
school would receive 80 cents
Many persons have declared this to
be the most liberal contest proposition
they have ever heard of, and if any
school fails to get its portion of the
hundreds of dollars in commissions
that will be distributed it will be the
fault of the school pupils and patrons
Because the Press desires every school
to share in this benefit it urges you to
send at once for blanks.
