| WOMAN BASEBALL MAGNATE
! BY RoBIsoN's WILL
His Niece Receives His Stock in st
Louis NationaIs-Nsw Situation in
BASEBALL.


Cleveland, o., March .2s.-By the
will of M. Stanley Rosibon, late pres
ident and principal owner of the ST.
Louis National league baseball club,
probated here yesterday, a woman will
succeed to his stick in the club and
become a baseball magnate. She is
Mrs. Helen Hathaway Robson Britton,
daughter of the late Frank De Haas
Robson, brother of Stanley Robson.
Three-fourths of the estate, includ-
ing all the stock in the ST. Louis club,
goes to Mrs. Britton.
She is not certain whether she will
retain her interest in the club Her
future action will depend largely on
the attitude of the other National
league owners. The present situation
is unprecedented in the history of the
organization.
Mrs. Britton is 80 years old and the
mother of two children, boy and a
girl Until recent years she was a
frequent attendant at the ball park
and understands the game thoroughly.
Hermann Sees Nothing to Prevent.
Cincinnati, March 2s.-August Herr
mann, who is one of the directors of
the National league, said when told
that Mrs. Britton is likely to be presi-
dent of the st. Louis club and there
fore become q member of the National
league, that there is nothing in base
ball rules to prevent her from serv-
ing.
Nor will there be any National
league member seek to prevent the
young woman from serving" Herr
mann said. Should Mrs. Britton ever
attend meeting of the league direc-
tors as president of the st. louis club
she would be accorded more than the
ordinary courtesy. But imagine that
some time, but not in the near futurA
there will be change in ownership or
at least in active management that
will result in a man becoming presI-
dent of the st. Louis club"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
STOCKS MOVE UP AND DOWN. /.
Rises Of the Early Trading Followed
by . Reaction.

New York. March 2s-The rather
hollow and professional character of
the stock market was again strikingly
Illustrated today, whom prices made
another upward move in the earlier
trading, only to lose all the more in
the latter part Of the day. Noteworthy
exceptions to this outcome were the
Canadian group, which were active and
strong under the leadership of Cana

high record on fairly extensive buying,
much of which was credited to London
and Montreal interests. Wisconsin

sources, but, the movement was not

teresfs, winch have seldom shown

In the active group, such as United

buying and selling, the bears making
series of drives in the final hour
which resulted in material losses in
these and other prominent stocks The
decline was attended by rumors con-
nected with next weeks reassembling

to retire their commitments pending

has been much speculation in exchange
recently and todays reversal was ac-
cepted as reflection Of this condi-

with April l interest and dividend re-

Flagg, on Bail, Brands
Arrest as an Outrage

ing in Jail from late Saturday, when
they were arrested on Federal warrants
charging them with using the United
States mails to defraud investors, Jared
FlaCg, broker; Daniel n. Morgan, for
mer treasurer of the United States, and
other associates, obtained their freedom
on bail this afternoon. They declare
they will fight their arrest, which they
denounce as an outrage, and will bring
suits against the Federal officials re-
sponsible for alleged false arrest
In the meantime the Federal grand
jury which is now ir session took up
consideration of the case against Flagg
and his associates. A score of Gus
toners of the concern and its former
employees were summoned and ques-
toned regarding the methods pursued.
One important witness is missing. She
is Madeline Russo, nineteen Years old,
and secretary for Jared Flagg. 1t is
alleged by the Federal officials that she
was instrumental in interesting a num-
tion of the Flagg schemes which were
of the blind pool variety. Miss Russo
is said to have very remarkable man
ner and mind, and the postoffice Of
fiCials declare she had most to do
with planning the opera tions of the
concern.
Meanwhile Flagg's customers and the
Federal officials are trying to get pos
Session of 100000 cash which Flagg
Federal officials had hoped to find from
Flaggs books, which they seized when
they raided his offices, the Ioca ton of
this cash, but failed. 1t is now be-
heved this money is in a safe deposit
vault somewhere.
