SULLIVAN STANDS PAT.
A. A. U. MoguI Simply Won't Recon
slider Resignation from Conn
nish."

NEW YORK. Sept. THE chaotic
state into which the affairs of the
state boxing commission has fallen
was unrelieved today. Chairman Jas.
e. Sullivan refused to reconsider his
determination TO resign and the diff
ference existing between the two 9TH
er members remained unadjusted.
There are many aspirants for Sui
livan's place, among those mentioned
being Patrick Conway, president OF
the Irish-American A. c., and Clar-
ence Farley OF the A. A. u. II was
thought by some, however, that Gov.
Dix would reorganize the committee
and make Commissioner Frank
O'NeiII chairman.
The only bright spot on the boxing
horizon was evidence OF reform
among the promoters. At last they
have seen that their original attitude
was murderous with the golden egg
laying goose as the victim, so now
the game may have chance In New
York In spite OF its friends.

"The greatest pitcher, ever saw"
said Manager James McAleer, OF the
washington American league club.
McAleer referred to Walter John
son and made the statement above
when asked TO compare Johnson with
the pitchers who have gone and those
now pitching.

He never needs a knuckle ball, q

Baseball has q hold on the CUBAN

needs to learn that many Cubans
stayed away from the games the Ath
ietics played on the island last year
because they didn't like their uni
forms, to realize the Cubans have
opinions OF their own.
Matty Mcintyre Of the White sox

will bear me out In this.
Anyone who has ever seen Mo
Intyre knows what an abundant crop
OF black, curly hair he possesses,
which. by the way. he wears rather

Hair like Matty's was a rare sight

districted over the child's absence, has
searched constantly.

Governor Harmon Appears
Before Grand Jury.
LEGISLATORS ARE WORRIED
Several offered to Testify in Order
to Become Immune From Ar
:. rest, hut Their Offer Was
Refused.

Columbus, o., May g. Governor
Harmon went before the Franklin
county grand jury and is supposed to
have told ali he knows regarding the
alleged boodling in the OHIO legisla-
ture The governor was in the jury
room about ten minutes.
Several assemblymen went to Pros
ecutor Turner and Attorney General
Hogan and offered to testify before
the grand jury, but their offers were
not accepted. These proposals We're
taken as an indication OF panic
among the solons and a desire on the
part of some TO get in early for a
bath.
Among the grand jury there appear
ed a number of prominent officials,
including G vernon Harmon. The wit
ness room was crowded with detec-
tives, lobbyists and corporation repre-
sentatives. The latter propose to tell
how they were held up or how efforts
were made 10 make them fork over"
money to get bills through committees
and then passed or TO have the re-
verse process brought about.
Detective Burns. head OF the organi-
cation which has ferreted out the cor
ruption, was at the court house Tor
some time. This is the most corrupt
assembly he has ever been called on to
investigate, he told reporters.
In the house every member of the
calendar committee, against which
much suspicion has been direcred, re-
signed save DR.. George B. Nye, who
Saturday had detectives arrested for
Offering him brides. The designations
were submitted to the house, but the
members were disposed to avoid any
responsibility for the personnel OF the
committee which had been appointed
by Speaker Vining. Action on the re
signations therefore went over.
1t developed when Governor Har.
mon opened envelopes supposed to
contain the bride money which Nye
says he received that the bills were
not the marked ones which the detec'
tives say they had handed to Nye
The amount, 5000, was correct, how.
ever. In this connection 1t also has
developed that while Nye received the
money about three weeks ago he did
not turn it over to Speaker Vining un
til last Saturday.
A singular indication Of the unrest
existing in the assembly came when
the senate, which has been reaction
airy and has blocked almost every eff
fort of Governor Harmon to secure
progressive legislation, put through
( two of Governor Harmon's pet bills
the measure for a central board OF
control for state institutions and the
bill providing for the direct nomina
tion of United States senators accord
ing to the Oregon plan.

Beverly. N. j.. May 3. Francis
Riley. farmer near Charleston, sew
eral days ago missed roll OF 81 bills
amounting to $40, which he had laid
on table, while he took wash at
the pump before going to town to pay
several bills.
When he looked for the money il
was missing lie was positive that NO
one had entered the house. Besides
himself, Tige, a pet fox terrier, was
the only living creature in the room
While feeding his chickens, Riley
saw Tige quite distance away, busiiy
scratching. Curiously he went to in
yestigate and found that the dog was
trying TO bury baby's rattle.
Riley's curiosity was aroused and
he had an inkling that Tige's cache
might contain other articles. He dug
into the hole and brought out such
things as spools. rattles, blocks, bones,
etc. Lastly he saw his roll OF bills. So
overjoyed was Riley that Tige was not
even chastised.
