Through the purchase of fifty more
shares of the Newark international
League Baseball Clubs stock Charles
H. Ebbets, the Brooklyn National
League magnate, has acquired a con-
trolling interest with George l.. Solo
mon in the local club.
Mr.. Ebbets bought out H. Clay
Smiths stock just as he said he
would in an exclusive story pub
lished in the Evening Star earlier In

forty-five shares, and the other five
shares purchased yesterday by Mr.
Ebbets We're previously owned by a
Chicago business man, a friend oil
Smiths.
Mr.. Ebbets also made an offer to
President and Manager Joe McGin
nifty for the forty-five shares con-
trolled by McGinnity. Whether OF
not he will sell out Immediately is n
matter which only McGinnity him
self knows, for he was very peevish
today and hung up the receiver when
his interviewer pressed him closely
over the telephone.
That McGlnnitys reign as manager
In Newark Is doomed Is foregone
conclusion, since Ebbets and Solo
mon now have control of the club
Mr.. Ebbets is not desirous of forcing
MoGinnity out of the club as a stock
holder but MeGlnnity's partners are
satisfied that he did not get the best
out of the material he had this year
and that the clubs affairs we're not
handled as smoothly as they should
have been.

plans or even admit that he was

New York, Jan. 1O.-Recognizing
that there is serious danger of the
ruined Equitable Life building walls
collapsing at any moment and crush
ing the American, National bank
building at 12S Broadway, Fire Chief
Kenlon at 2:10 O'Clock. this afternoon
ordered the police to- clear the struc-

No one is permitted to traverse the
streets on the Cedar street side of the
Equitable building, as the walls on
that side are bulging two feet, and
their collapse is expected momentar-

Should the walls tumble down un-
expectedly great loss and damage to
the bank building would follow, and
the police propose taking no chances
of catastrophe. The falling Of the
Cedar street walls would precipitate
the front walls of the Equitable
