The Mechanics lam pasted him rude1y for II runs in six rounds. Thereupon Jerry Connell took the mound and gave Bridgeport one run in two innings. He allowed five hits and one pass.
 Johnny Barron did the honors for Bridgeport. He didn't have to exert himself but managed to hold New Haven to ten hits and with good sup port would have let the enemy down with one run. The fielding of the Mechanics was enough to make a COW laugh. They made up for this, how ever. by viciously assauIting the Vic tor. The details:

has been employed by John 3. Weller,
counsel for Joseph Clifton Trees, to OBJ
tain the exact facts relative to the death
In New York OF Mrs. Emily Wewees
Felis. who was employed as nurse and
COMPANION for Mrs. Trees.
Mr.. Trees is president Of the Arkansas
Natural Gas Company, and Is at tho head
of several other oil producing companies.
He is considered one OF Pittsburgh s
wealthiest men.
This Is an attempt at blackmail. said
Mr.. Weller to-day. In speaking or the re-
ports from Philadelphia. Those IN the
conspiracy evidently think that because
Mr. Trees is wealthy he can be fright
ened into giving up an immense sum or
money TO silence the charges ABOUT the
death OF his wife's nurse. We have infor-
nation to prove that there is gang
working TO blackmail Trees. and II the
time comes when we are called upon TO
prove II we'll produce the proofs. IL Is
one OF the most dastardly things j ever
heard of -
Mrs Felis was in the employ OF the
Trees family for nearly four years. MIS-
Trees has been an invalid, and the nurse
was her companion day and night. II IL
said the attachment between the TWO
was one OF unusual affection. Mrs. Fens

on the ground floor Of the Criminal

came up. but he was sore at the
whole graft game then and wouldn't
listen to the offer Donnclly told him.
said Sipp, that II ne wanted 20 come

across in "Foley's."
Sipp Finally Convicted.
That was the first time he had ever

officers put in bill 10 the city for S54

which would he that the inspector
could thereafter report that the hotel

even looked like violation OF the law.
1t was all a game for the insiders,
the way Sipp described II. and although

twelve years he conducted his hotel

Secretary of Navy Stricken with
Fever at Summer Residence.
Hamilton. Mass. June 22-Secretary Of
the Navy George Won L. Meyer, who ar
rived here from Washington q week ago,
is Ill Of typhoid fever.
Mr.. Meyer on the advice Of his physi-
clan came to Hamilton for rest and
treatment for stomach trouble which has
attacked him frequently since his i'll
ress during his last visit to England. He
then suffered from ptomaine poisoning,
and, 1t is said, has never fully recovered.
Secretary Meyer left Washington late
last week for his Hamilton summer
home, following an illness Of several
days. He hoped by the change TO the
cool air OF Hamilton to throw OF the
intestinal trouble which was causing his.
illness. Mr.. Meyer travelled in the cart
Of a physician.
A few days after Mr.. Meyers depst-
tEe from Washington Il was charged
in a newspaper dispatch from here that
the Secretary had feigned illness merely
as an excuse to get out OF Washington
and away from the White House. be-
cause OF his intention, II was stated, to
leave the Taft Cabinet. His alliance with
the Roosevelt forces was declared TO be
imminent. Mr.. Meyer caused a denial Of
these charges to be issued both in Wash
ington and in Boston.
