Wild MAN FOUND
Missing Poughkeepsie Man Discover
ed in a Cave in Mountains After
an Absence of Ten Years.
Especial to The Citizen. }

POUGHKEEPSIE, Sept. 90
Barking like a dog and running
around the country without any
clothes, a wild man was subdued and
placed under arrest here to-day. The
once civilized man lived in a cave in
the Cawling mountains. He has been
identified as Arthur Britton, who
disappeared from here ten years ago.
Britton was taken to the hospi-
tai, where he shouted and it was
some time before anything could be
done with him. He was given some
thing to eat and he disregarded both
knife and fork. Britton's body is
covered with long downy hair and his
beard is also of considerable length.
Physicians state that Britton looks
the nearest to being a wild man
than anything they ever saw.

THE SAFETY OF HONESDALE AT STAKE

Dangerous Condition of Lake Lodore Dam---
Action Taken.

The recent heavy rains bring
forcibly to mind the safety of
Lake Lodore and its dam,
which was condemned by Far

the State Water Commission,
of Harrisburg, after an eXami-
nation made a year ago. Upon
complaint made to the State
Water commission Engineer
Gannett visited the Lodore
dam and reported to the State
department of water ways that
Lodore was in a very unsafe
condition and recommended
that the Lodore Improvement

head with a new dam. Since
then, we are informed, no steps
have been taken to better the
conditions. Mr.. Gannett stated

National System
of Baseball Is
Not Great I rust

NEW YORK, Nov. EVERY now
and then some individual entirely un-
familiar with the system of organiza-
ton under which baseball operates,
makes the giarfng blunder OF refer
ring to Ii as trust. and making 1t ap-
pear that the club owners rule the
players In high-handed manner.
John b. Foster. of the New York
Evening Telegram, takes the follow
ing fan out OF these charges:
ANY one in the National league or
the American league who would be
frightened away from a much-needed
investigation because of silly clap
trap about either Of these organiza-
lions being trust or conspiracy
against trade deserves To have trou-
BILE.
The National league. the Ameri-
can league, the international league,
the American association. and all
other leagues are no more trust
than any society or organization put
together for the purpose OF regulat-
ing a game or pastime.
ANY person who wishes to organize
base ball league or baseball CLUB
has that privilege, but there Is no
reason under the SUN why the Ma
tional league. the American league or
any other league should be compelled
to recognize that organization IL II
doesn't care to do SO.
''It might as well be contended that
secret and benevolent organizations
must recognize their members inter-
changeably simply because they hap
pened to be secret organizations.
There Isn't an element In the major
league which corresponds in any
way TO trust. The clubs are indi-
vidual companies. usually fighting
with some spirit and occasionally with
some acerbity TO win championship
the purpose for which they were
brought into activity.
ANY method which tends toward
syndicating or pooling would make
these leagues In the nature of trust.
1t Is the individualism of the clubs
which Is the backbone of the sport.
Whenever there Is a disposition TO
pool issues more than one baseball
critic will have a little something to-
say about It"

Engineer Boiling. the city attorney

committee yesterday afternoon grant
ed the Smith company an extension
of eight months for the completion
of Mayo's bridge.
Mr.. Smith, in presenting his case,
showed that he had been up against

dition. Two freshets had interfered
with work on the bridge during the
summer, and the bottom OF the river
was not inst like it was believed to be
by Mr.. Smith when he made his con-
tract. nor did the city engineers de.
partment know what the contractor
was liable to hit when he dug for
the foundation nf the. bridge.
After looking Into all these things.
the city engineer was of the opiafon
that Mr.. Smith had probably had lots
OF Unforeseen things to contend with.
and he felt that the eight months
might he allowed him, with all due
consideration.

phatic protest has been entered by

Washington and Lee eleven, on fhe
ground that the men played profess
s!onal baseball in the Appalachian

technic institute and Washington ami
Lee meet here Saturday in their an

ing between students Of the two
schools have been heightened by this
action on the part of Virginia Poly
technic institute. Washington and
Lee is unusually confident of win
ming this year from Virginia Poly
technic institute, and local alumni
Of the Lexington school say that the
Virginia Polytechnic institute move
comes with very bad grace at this late
hour.
On the other hand, Virginia Poly
technic institute adherents point to
the following clause in the contract
between Virginia and Polytechnic in
stitute and Washington and Lee. coy
ering the coming game:
That no player be allowed to par
ttcipate in this game who is not n
bona-fide student. or who has receive
ed any emolument. directly or in
directly, for his athletic services"
Representatives of the Virginia
Polytechnic institute athletic council
have gone to Lexington. it is said, to
take up the question in dispute with
the Washington and Lee ATHLETIC au~
thorities. Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute will play the game Saturday
whether Raftery and Bone appear in
the Washington and Lee lineup or
not. but the manager of the tech
team is quoted as saying yesterday
that the playing of the protesteH
players by Washington and Lee may
have some effect on the athletic re-
lations between the two institutions in
future.

CHURCH HILL KIDS
HANDED THE kIbOSH
MUST KEEP Off THE GRASS ON
BIG CHIMBORAZO
PARK

Despite a plea by Councilman Sui
livan. supplemented by petition sign
ed by everybody living around Chin
borazo park. asking that the children
of that section OF the city be Permitted
TO play on the park. the committee
on grounds and buildings last night
turned down the proposition.
Members of the committee present
were Messrs. Melton, Atkinson. Mitch
ell. Umlauf and sullivan.
The various members of the com
mittee declared in short speeches that
they were the friends of the children,
but they could not see why they should
play in the parks.
Mr.. Sullivan showed that all the
real cities in the country provided
places in the parks for the children,
and stated that he could not see why
lChimboraxo park. the largest park in
the city, could not prove to be q
haven FOR the youngsters who other
wise would have to walk the streets
or be tempted into worse places be-
cause the city would not offer them a
place for recreation.
The most emphatic opponents of the
proposition were Messrs. umlauf and
Mitchell. Mr.. Mitchell Is on record
as having said that he did not believe,
in the Fairgrounds proposition for
children, and 50 far as he was con-
cerned the paraphernaiia used In the
Fairgrounds could be burned up.
Mr.. Sullivan said he was somewhat
surprised ut Mr.. Umiauf
Mr.. Umlauf Is on the Fairgrounds
