is now every indication that the mem
bers Of the league in their meeting at
Muskogee will have plenty of excel

four other cities that will be required

Oklahoma City will undoubtedly hold
a berth in the league, their Texas

Bartlesville is apparently just luke
warm on the proposition and unless
they do something tangible up there
at once there is a strong likelihood
of that city being dropped from the
league when the permanent organiza-
ton is affected, in spite Of the fact
that Bartlcsville has been a good base
ball town in the past and that Charley
Hodge of that city. is doing his best
to get the business men behind tho
movement.

RUNS AGROUND
UP THE SOUND
Local Passengers Spend
Night on Coney Island Boat.

More than a hundred passengers,
many Of them women and children,
from this city and vicinity became
stranded aboard the sound steamer
Brockton when it ran agraund in Staten
Island sound just north of the B. & o.
bridge about 1-o'cloek yesterday morn
ing. The vessel was foated again when
the tide rose about 5 O'Clock yesterday
morning and the passengers were landed
safely at St. George, from which place
they boarded a train for their homes.
The steamer Brockton, which formerly
piled between New York and Provi-
dence, is one of the finest sound steam
ers ever constructed. 1t was placed in
service here by the Merchants Marine
Terminal Company on Saturday to car
ny excursionists to Coney Island and
back. 1t left on the first trip at 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon and re-
turned shortly after, 7 o'clock. A Sec
ond trip was made about s O'Clock and
the start for the return was made about
11:45 O'Clock Saturday night. All went
well until the craft struck low water
in Staten Island sound. The vessel
draws fourteen feet of water and with
a low tide the sound is not sufficiently
deep for the vessel in some places.
The ships officers took care of the
passengers who were stranded. Women
and children and as many men as could
be accommodated, were given state
rooms. All the passengers had their
fares paid for their return from st.
George to this city.
Local Agent Michael j. Donovan says
he hopes the company will not be dis
couraged by the result of the trips on
Saturday. While the attendance was
not large as had been expected, it is
anticipated it will grow as the excur-
sion trips become better advertised.
Future trips will be made over the bay
around the e~asterly side of Staten Is
land.
Mr.. Donovan was aboard the Brock
ton on its trip Saturday and expressed
himself as highly pleased with the YES
sci.

ACCUSES COP
OF SPITE WORK
Proprietor of Maurer Hotel
Arrested on Sunday Charge

Henry Nickenig, proprietor of
Excelsior Grove and hotel at Maurer,
was arraigned before Recorder Ke-
hoe this morning on a charge of SELL
ing or giving away liquor on Sunday.
The court said that technically he
was guilty of violating the excise
law and reserved decision. At first
Recorder Kehoe was inclined to pass
judgment at once, but after the de-
PENDANT had spoken and openly ac-
cused Patrolman Israel Weitzen of
arresting him for spite, he reserved
decision and released the hotel pro-
pr1etor on his W recognizance.
Weitzen made the complaint after
he caught George Dunton, forty-four
years old, of Maurer, coming from
Nickenig's place last night with six
bottles of beer under his arm. Dun
ton was Jailed as a witness. In court
this morning he stated he had gone
to Mr.. Nickenig's place for some
cheese with which to prepare some
food for himself and a friend off a
boat and that while there he had
been presented with half a dozen
bottles of beer. officer Weitzen found
the beer and confiscated it, but de-
MES he saw any cheese.
Mr.. Nickenig says he was away
from his place at the time and does
not know how Dunton came into pos
session of the beer. In court he de-
clared he did not even know Dunton
had been in his place. He declared
he always observed the law.
MI. Nickenig berated Officer Welt
zen. He severely criticised some of
the patrolman's acts, as Chief of
Police Burke and other members of
the police department have also
done. The hotel proprietor said his
disagreement with Weitzen started
about two years ago. He claimed
the policeman used indecent Ian
| guage to his wife and children and
often insulted them. He declared
| Weitzen called him a vile name one
day he saw him sitting on his porch.
Nickenig insisted his arraignment
was purely the result of spite work
on the part of Weitzen. The officer
said nothing in reply. Dunton was
discharged after the hearing.

RISK LIFE To
STOP RUNAWAY
PatroIman Tonnesen's Heroic
Action Saves Three Persons.

Patrolman Niels Tonnesen risked
his life in stopping a runaway team
of horses to save Max f1iller, his son
Isidore and the latter's playmate,
Saturday afternoon. The animals
took fright on State street near the
Lehigh Valley bridges and ran mad
ly southwark. The officer made a
leap for the reins and brought the
fleeing animals to a halt at State and
Washington streets after he had
been dragged some distance. Eye
witnesses roundly commended the
officer for his action and some even
went so far as to call up Chief of
Police Burke and praise the patrol
man
No damage was done and no one
was hurt. Mr.. Miller, who is a gro
GER at 246 New Brunswick avenue,
was driving with his twelve-year-old
son, Isidore, and the latter's play
mate when the runaway started, had
a narrow escape. 1t is believed the
horses took fright at an engine pass
ing over a Lehigh Valley bridge.

Buckingham avenue, the company
will proceed to do 50, the directors
assert. The company has selected
Mr.. Humphrey as a committee of one
to secure a suitable ferryboat for
the new system. He has two boats
under inspection, M o which will
be purchased.
For the present, the directors
state, the company will run but one
boat. Thes chedule, which will be
announced when franchise and RI
parian rights are secured, will give
quick running time and provide for
trains connection on the Staten Is
land railroad.
Make Trip in Less Time.
The directors declare that the new
company can compete successfully
with the established line because of
a shorter run across the sound,
which will be diagonally across, and
also, the accessibility Of Buckingham
emu This street is level and has
no grade, such as noticed on Smith
street neal the ferry slip. This hill
has caused many accidents and wear
and tear on automobiles, going to
and from the ferry boat. The new
company declares that the rates for
passage, including pedestrians, live
stock and vehicles, will be somewhat
lower than that of the system now
running here.
The directors will organize shortly
by electing officers and promulgat-
ing other plans. 1t is understood
that Mr. BALDWIN will he elacted Dres-
ident. The capital stock, according
to the incorporation papers, is $780,
