PHILADELPHIA. Aug. S-Conster-

ional league club as a result of Pitcher
Brennan developing a case of diphthe-
ria and being quarantined.
Not only will this prevent him from
taking part in any game for some time.

mainstay OF Dooin's pitching staff who
has been living with Brennan, may also

The disablement of these two stars,
admittedly the best pitchers the club
possesses now, will materially affect the
Philadelphias' chances of remaining in
the first division.

done well with a strong team. But
there is no use of taking any
chances, and the Cracker club will
have to strengthen with the addi-
ton of four or FIVE real pitchers
before next season starts.
It HERE is one Consolation-the
Crackers have couple of play
ers they can recall The best of
them is Erskine Mayer. THE Scis-
sors' has done wonders in the Vir-
ginia league. There is great likeli-
hood, however, that he will not be

call back is kid" Wolfe. This lad,
yanked out of job as shipping
clerk and planted on the Atlanta
diamond this year, absolutely with
out professional or semi profess
sional baseball experience, looked
mighty good. He has had a year
of experience now in league ball
Next spring he ought to be a useful
citizen. He certainly knows how to
field a ball
The Crackers have a few other
players planted here and there, but
Mayer and Wolfe seem to be the
only ones who make any difference.
Ira Hogue looked like a star when
he was turned back this year, but
he hasn't done anything this sea-
son. and seems to be hopeless.

DEMANDS DELEGATES AT
LARGE. VOTE FOR TAFT.

oyster Bay, n. Y, May 1.--Colonel
Roosevelt announced his decision in
q statement copies of which he tele-
graphed to each or the eight dele
gates at larg elected yesterday. The
statement follows:
I'm Massachu usetts the ballot CON
tained the names OF eight candidates
fer delegates at large with, printed
under each, the words, Pledged to
vote for Theodore Roosevelt, and also
contained column in which the
voter was to express his preference
az to whether | or Mr. TAFT should
be nominated as president. 1t would
seem unlikely tnal =, majority of the
voters would both vote for the dele
gates pledged to me and at the same
time express a preference for Mr..
Taft, but apparently this is what has
happened
such being the case ana on the
assumption that the preferential vote
Is for Mr.. Taft, / hereby announce
that / shall expect these delegates at
large to disregard the pledge to sup
ra-. me and support Nj Taft; and
shall Immediately write him and urge
him with all the emphasis and insis-
tence in my power to take the course
indicated and support Mr.. Taft in the
convention.
I'm this fight ] am standing for
certain great principles which | re-
gard as vital to the present and fu-
ture welfare of this nation. My sue
cess Is of value only as an incident
to securing the triumph Of these
principles. Foremost among these
principles is the right of the people
to rule and the DUTY OF their repre-
scntativcs really To represent them,
in nominating conventions no less
than executive OF legislative officers.
II the majority of the rank and file
of the republican party do not wish
me nominated, then most certainly
do not wish to be nominated.
MY aim has been to get the genu-
inc expression of the genuine desire
precisely as, If nominated. | should
desire to get at the polls the genuine
expression of the majority of the
whole people; because my only pur-
pose in being elected president woulC
be to put into effect certain principles
and policies which ! ardently believe
and which | could not possibly put
into effect unless | had behind me
the hearty support of the majority of
our citizens"

interview tonight. said he believed the

He said there was no chance of a

Ambassador Calero, who arrived

"Thef revolution in Mexico" said
Mr.. Calero, will be put down within
the coming three months. II was

brigands of the Morelos state.
THE Indians sold their land. which
the new owners fenced in. and when
their money was gone the Indians,
supported by .brigands and natives Of
a lower state, attacked these land
proprietors, stole, killed and commit
ted other atrocities. The government
was called in 10 suppress these up
lisngs.
1T is not real revolution of the
masses against the government, but
an uprising of brigands and Indians

100000 of Collateral Trust

Denver. May Judge Henry {.
Riddle, of the district court late this
afternoon appointed ID. c. Dodge and
IS NJ. Herry receivers for the Denver.
Northwestern & Pacific railway, (Mof-
fat road, upon application of the
Denver Railway Securities Company
the holding company OF the road.
Then upon a request of the executors
of the estate of David II. Moffat the
court appointed a receiver for the
Denver Railway Securities Company
and named W. w. Watson.
According to w. G. Evans president
of the Moffat road. the actions were
taken to protect creditors of the DEN
yer Railway Securities Company, the
Colorado Utah Construction Company
Pacific railroad.
The Denver Railway Securities
Company was unable to pay principal
and accrued interest of $3.500. 600 of
collateral trust notes due at the
Equitable Trust Company in New
York today. A one-half interest in the
securities company is owned by the
estate of d. II. Moffat who indorsed
notes of the company for $4,000, 900.
OF this amount $4,000 was paid off.
The estate was thus liable for SO, 500,
600.
Mr.. Evans says that the railroad
was under heavy operating expense
during the months Of January, Febru-
airy and March because of unusually
deep snow on the continental divide
Negotiations, he said We're under way
with a Boston and New York banking
firm to take up the notes and then
with a Paris firm of French bankers,
but failed. He expresses the belief that
under the receivers the Moffat road
can earn interest upon a reasonable
capitalization and by building Den
yer connections.
David II. Moffat in March of 1902
first announced his intention of build
ing into the rich Uintah basin and to
salt Lake City. Work on the road
was begun late in that year. BY the
summer of 1903 the track was laid
and the road running to the foothills.
Later in that year the line was COM
pleted to Tolland. several miles this
side of the summit of the continental
divide.
Thereafter little construction was
done for several years. Mr.. Moffat
tried to raise funds in the east but
was unsuccessful. 1t was rumored at
that time that the Hartman interests
We're opposing the Moffat road. He
did get financial support and in 190S
the line had been completed to Var
nony, 146 miles west of Denver. In
January of 1910, the Denver Steam
boat Springs Construction Company
was organized to complete the roads
to Steamboat Springs about 1S4 miles

to Steamboat Springs. Since then no
work has been done with
the exception of the laying of a spur

MI. Seberlich was not on the slate
of Taft delegates, but had his name
entered on the ballot as an indepen-
dent pledged to Taft.
The name was placed Immediately
above the slate of eight delegates AT

many voters, following down the
column voted the name of Sleberlich
