SHEEHAN LINES BREAK.
Indications That There Will Be an
Election at Albany Soon.

Albany, n. Y, March 2S.-The Sec
ond Democratic legislative caucus fail
ed to select a candidate for United
convene tonight. Twenty-Five candi-
dates were voted for, William F. Shee-
han leading, with a vote of 2S-less
than a third of those taking part.
Those receiving the next highest votes
were Augustus Van Wyck, Z; 1sador
Straus, 5; John J. Fitzgerald, 6, and
Daniel F. Cohalan, 4. Governor Dix
received one ballot.
Ninety of the 116 Democratic mem
bers of the legislature answered the
roll call.
Several members who have figured
as strong advocates of Mr.. Sheehan' S
candidacy acknowledged in declaring
their votes that his election had ceased
to De a possibility and that the recon-
vening of the caucus released them
from whatever pledges might have
been incurred by attendance upon the
first caucus. This was the general i'm
preston among the Sheehan advo-
Gates, who expressed the opinion that
the reconvening of the caucus tonight
would mark the beginning of the end
of the most protracted senatorial con-
test which this state has ever known.
Several of the members scored the
insurgents for their failure to attend
the caucus The general opinion in
both the Democratic camps was that a
Democratic senator would be elected
in time to take his seat when the eX-
traordinary session of congress con-

sideration at the present time. For
obvious reasons it would be unwise to
load the road down with new heavy
bond issue, until it has been shown
how large an amount of fixed charges
the company may be expected, reason
ably to shoulder. AS the new improve
ment which are to be made here and
there begin to bring results in larger
earning capacity, naturally the COM
pany's ability to carry a heavier
amount of fixed charges will be re-
vealed. That will be taken advantage
of to issue further bonds from time to
time for additional improvements, when
it becomes evident that they can be
accomplished to the advantage of the
company.
Probably surplus earnings of the cor
poration will form the basis of the bet
terments, which will be made. For the
past two years, under the management
of Vice President Clarke, the company's
earnings in excess of operating ex-
penses. fixed charges and taxes have
been used to a considerable extent in
improvement work, and this policy will
be continued, it is said, even in a more
pronounced manner in the future Ad-
ditiOnal funds, however. will be pro-
vided from bond sales from time to
time, as in the discretion of the man.
agement, it seems wise to do so. But
the amount of new bonds which are
sold will probably bear a very close
relation to the improvement in earnings
which may be revealed. In other words
the company will not be burdened with
fresh capital charges beyond what it
can easily stand.

the Camorrists, the adjournment of
which on Friday interrupted the re-

many threats of what is in store for
one who violates his VOW as a member
of 1.-The Beautiful Reformed society
A few correspondents seem bent on
making sport of the situation. Then
there are the inevitable theatrical
propositions. One who described him
self as Sam Charing, an agent at Milan
of an American theatrical house, offers
the informer 5000 a day for the privi-
lege of exhibiting him in the United

This impressed Abbatemaggio, who

RoURKEs OLD PITCHERS BACK
Ihey Are All Going Good-Ban Park
Named Rourke Park

Omaha. March 2s.-AIl tho old
pitchers are back and sure of their
JOBS again this season, if they keep up
the way they have started. Rhodes,
Kelley, Fentress are all twirling in
hne shape, and Danny Dreamer Dur
bin is the terror of the batsmen. Hall,
the new man, works well, and Patton
is, coming along better than last sea-
son. Patton was sick a part of the
winter and lost some twenty pounds,
but he has gained fifteen of 1t back
already and Omaha food seems to
agree with him.
Kelley and Sindelar, two of the
youngster twirlers, are putting in the
ticks well, but their jobs are still un-
certain. Kelley seems to have speed
and few curves. but he is working
the stiffness out of an injured back
right now and can't put in the ticks.
Sindelar is going better than last
spring, but may need more develop
ing before fit for class A league.
Joe Lott, the Omaha amateur, is in
fine shape and will stick here for the
summer. Lott is practicing hard and
improving his batting-his ambic<on is
to be a great hitter rather than gT>s +
pitcher.
Rourke Park has been chosen as the
name of Omaha's new base ball pavil-
ion. Miss Enid Valentine, daughter
of c. c. Valentine, who lives at the
Winona apartments, won the season
ticket for the new name.
A committee of base ball players of
the Omaha squad voted on the name
Saturday and chose Rourke Park
from the hundreds of suggestions Of
fered. Here is Miss Valentines letter:
Omaha Baseball Club:
"As the name Rourke is inseparable
from baseball in this community. l
suggest as the name of the new park,
'Rourke Park
ENID VALENTINE.''
Miss Valentine and her father are
enthusiastic fans, SO the season ticket
will go to live booster.

That's What Schreck Says of Carl
Morris. White Hone.


Sapulpa, Ok, March 2S.-Sapulpa is
alive with ring followers here to attend
the fight between Mike Schreck of
Cincinnati and Carl Morris of Sapul-
pa, the Oklahoma white hope"
Morris did little training yesterday
although his quarters were crowded.
He skipped the rope awhile and after
few minutes of shadow boxing, he
announced his training was at an end
and he was ready. Every one in the
camp then shook hands with Carl and
gave him a cheering word.
''I'll win the big fellow told them
all.
Schreck himself, will tell you Morris
has a "cnance" but that is all. Mike
declares Morris will have to go back
to his job on the railroad after today's
fight. Lack of experience, you KNOW -
Schreck told the questioners.
The fight is scheduled to go fifteen
rounds There are several prelimin-
naries and the men probably will net
get into the ring until 4 o'clock.
Edward W. Cochrane of Kansas
City, will referee the bout. The bet
ting is four to one on Morris with even
money that Schreck does not stay five
rounds. Few wagers have been laid.

MERKLE HITS 'E1SI TOO HARD.

Would Ease Up.

st. Louis, March 2S.-Who ever
heard of a ball player hitting the ball
too hard to suit his manager. That's
what Fred Merkle, Toledo boy, who
plays first base for the New York
Giants. is charged with by Manager
John McGraw McGraw wishes Merl1le
wouldn't clout the sphere to the far
reaches of the lot every time he con-
meets with it.
Merkle batted .292 last season, and
this spring is hitting harder even con-
sidering the brand of pitching he has
faced, than he did in 1910. But while
he is getting his hits with charming
regularity, he drives the ball so far
that the outfielders play extra deep for
him Many times he is held at first
base on hits that would mean two or
three bases to other batters.
