BASEBALL LIP READER
Offers His Services to Mngr Callahan
Chicago Am.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-Manager James
Callahan of the Chicago Americans
has cast aside an offer which, If ey-
erything was justifiable in baseball
he believes, would surely bring the
1912 pennant TO his team
1t was an offer, yesterday, from, a
deaf mute, who claimed to be an adept
10 lip reading.
& " have a scheme which will make
YOUR team pennant winners, next sea-
son." was the sentence written on a
card and placed before the manager.
This is interesting at least" said
the manager TO his visitor. Then u
few motions of the fingers explained
to the south Side leader that the man
with the pennant in his grasp could
not talk In a short time the manager
was digesting the schepR for his call
er had il already written out.
1t explained that the pennant could
be easily won by allowing the mute
with a string of field glasses to take
a position near the field or under the
grandstand BY the aid of the glasses
he would read the lfps of the manager
to his men Between innings and the
players on the field in whispered con-
versations. Then by the aid of an cleo
trical contrivahee connected with the
home bench and a cone' of signals he
could let it be known just exactly
what kind of .and what tricks
the visitors were about to come out
with.
mo doubt your plan would prove a
winning one. but baseball is an hon
est game and 1 cannot consider II.

Corporation Tax law Affects Mutual

Washington. Dec. H.-ComniSSioner OF
Internal Revenue Cabell, today. deci4d
that the dividends paid by mutual AL
''partieipating" insurance companies to
their policyholders are subject to assess
ment as income under the corporation
tax law.
The companies contended, according TO
the commission that those dividends
were not dividends in the commercial
sense but simply refunds to solicyholders
of an overcharge in the insurance pre-
MUM. Sone'of them admitted, he added,
that the exigences Of business and com
petition had rssultedssin the companies

About $4,000 revenue TO the government

STRANDED WooDSMEN
Giving Bangor officials All the Care
They Really Seek.


Bangor, Me-. Dec. 2l.-Since the first OF
December. 1s woodsn1en. incapable of
doing the heavy work required of them
in the lumber camps, and stranded IN
this city without any means, have been
sent back to Boston from whence they
came, by the overseers of the poor, and
many other calls for aid from this class
of men have been received. The men that
come to the overseers for help are of a
class that cannot stand, because of their
physical condition, the rigors of winter
in the woods and are not strong enough
for the work. and the overseers are Sc
vert in their criticism of the employment
men who get them down here from Bos-
ton. s-where a majority of these men are
hired
1.-THE men hire out In Boston with little
nowledge of what they are going up
against said one of the overseers.
Thursday, "who do not seem to care
whether they are able to do the work or
spot. They get down here and then go
Mto the woods. Sometimes they are sent
back at once, but more often they are
1Ept long enough to work out their pay
for the transportation afforded them
Then they leave to go back to Bangor
that being their objective point, as best
they can They walk great deal Of
their way, and when they get here they
are broke and we have to ship them
back to Boston.
81 would not be surprised If the man
found frozen to death near Patten,
Wednesday, was one of the incapable
woodsrnen who was coming out of the
woods More than half the time the men
come here without proper clothing, and
we had one man come to us who came
down here and went to work with moth
ing more to cover his feet than pair of
patent leather shoes.
''As long as they continue to come here
to take anyone without any knowledge
of the work, we will continue to nave
trouble. The same thing has happened
before, but there have been mon. of them
this year than usual"
1t costs the citys poor department
quite sum of money to care for the men
that came here stranded to send them
all back to Boston, but the only alter
native Is sending them down to the poor
farm. and that would be even more eN-
pensive. Generally they are men who
are not able to support themselves either
from choice or from physical condition.
and the overseers feel that the city is
better off without them"
In addition to the demands Of this sort
which have been made on the oyerseers
the calls from other sources have been
heavy during the month. and quite q con-
siderable aid has been rendered through
that department.

by the prosecution. and also outlined the
questions their counsel should ask to
bring out conditions in the prison. Tes-
timony also was produced to show that

convicts attacked Miller to prevent him

convict known as Little Louis" When
Miller was on the witness stand, Wednes-
day, he told an entirely different story.
He incurred the enmity of the men, he
said, owing to the fact he had favored
Mondays and Fridays for shaving days
for the convicts and they had urged that
Tuesdays and Thursdays be the days.
That controversy, he said, resulted n
much argument and bad blood, and cul-

LOS ANGELES.
UNITED PRESS. LEASED w1RH.I


Los Angeles, Calf, Jan. 6.-Al-
though no official confirmation can
be secured it is generally understood
today that the % indictments re-
turned by the special grand jury in-
vestigating the Times explosion of
October 1, were directed against
three men.
These men are M. Ashman, J. B.
Bryson and David Caplin, at whose
home in San Francisco, the trio is
known to have met frequently.
Twenty-one persons were killed in
the Times disaster aud it is believed
the three men were indicted for each
death. =
This would account for 21 of the
indictments, The remaining two
bills are said to be against the same
men for the attempted dynamiting of
the home of F. j. Zeehandalaar, Sec
retary of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association, and of General
Harrison Gray Otis, proprietor of the
Times.
