dealings with the picture dealers, with

years, moreover, he was often called
as a "witness" by parties In political
suits, not because he had any pertinent
testimony to present, but because he

AL. c. FIELDS MINsTRELs
Popular Fsvorites Arrived in Town
This Forenoon.

Bennington is entertaining AL G.
Fields minstrel men today. and this
evening the company of funmakers
will offer the annual feast of comedy
surprises at the opera house. The
Field special train arrived over the
Rutland railroad this morning, and
as soon as the baggage and scenery
were unloaded the street parade
started from the theatre and paraded
the principal streets of the city.
The Gold band, one of the features
that Field has arranged for this sea
son, held the honor position. and
during the procession the members
offered a concert. Another program
of selections will be rendered this
evening before the regular perfor-
nance.
Field has blossomed forth as an
author this season, and his book
Watch Yourself Go By" which has
made its appearance in Bennington
has enjoyed a most remarkable sale
throughout the country. Contrary
TO popular belief, the volume is not
history OF minstrelsy nor is il a
collection OF minstrel jokes. In.
stead il is a well connected story
with his career and early life as a
basic theme.
The last chapters of the book we're
completed on the farm that Field
owns near Columbus, Ohio. Here he
also wrote the lyrics Of the entire
performance that he is Offering his

THREATENED FIREMEN STRIKE
Railroads Assert That They Have
Offered Arbitration.

New York. Jan. 2S-Elisha Lee,
representing fifty four Eastern rail-
roads in the negotiation with their
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen
for increased wages. gave out
statment yesterday reiterating the
willingness of the railroads to submit
to arbitration the demands of the
firemen. The trouble with the en-
gineers has already been settled.
The 10000 members of the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Firemen are now
taking a strike vote and it is evident
that a strike is expected by the rail
roads. The statement SAYS
Jan. 26, 1913.
A strike is threatened by the hre-
men on all the Eastern railroads.
The strike vote now being taken
among the 10000 men affected Will
undoubtedly result in a vote pledging
the men to walk out If their demands
are not granted by the railroads.
Such a strike would seriously in
terfere with, if not entirely interrupt,
the operation of all the railroads in
eighteen States, containing more
than one-half the population of the
United States.
The strike vote follows various
conferences between railroad man
ayers and representatives of the
men. The latter in their "A True
Statement" Of these conferences,
which has been circulated among the
men in connection with blank
strike ballot, say:
Evidence that the responsibility
for a failure to arbitrate all matters

THORPE ADMITS
He PLAYED BALL
FOR MONEY
Worlds Greatest Athlete Made
a Professional
MUST GIVE UP TROPHIES
Remarkable Indian Mawes Public
Apology Through Amateur Ath-
ietlc Association.

New York, Jan 27.-James Thorpe.
the Indian athlete and Olympic cham
pion, today admitted that charges of
professionalism brought against him
were true and formally retired from
amateur athletics. Thorpe's confes-
sion was contained in letter to the
registration committee of the ANA
teur Athletic Union, which met today
to investigate his case.
The letter admitted that Thorpe
had played baseball for salary ona
professional team three years ago
while he was student of the Car
Isle Indian school, but that on the
same team there were several college
men from the north who were regard
ed as amateuers, and that Thorpe dio
not realize his participation in the
| game was wrong. Thorpe added that
he earned but for the love Of the
game.
Thorpe's winning of the Pentathlon
and Decathlon events at the Olympic
games in Stockholm and later his
wonderful performances which won
for him the all-around championship
of the A. A. U. at Celtic Park last
September had stamped him the most
marvellous athlete of modern times.
In addition, his provinces as a foot
ball player had earned for him dun
| ing the past season by unanimous
choice of the leading sporting writer's
| the position of halfback on the an
nual All-American football team.
All prizes and the honors which
| hoc civ 10nQ-fhA
date from which his standing as a
professional begins-must be trans
ferred through the officials of the
| Amateur Athletic Union to the men
who finished second to the Indian in
every event. This will mean that the
trophies and points won in the Penta-
thlon and Decathlon must be given
| respectively to e. r. Bic, Norway,
and H. Wieslander, Sweden, and that
| J. ]. Donahue, United States, and
Glomberg, Sweden, will take second
places.
The loss of the six points scored by
Thorpe, however, still leaves the Unit
ed States winner of the Olympic
games by wide margin, the total
| standing-United States rs, with Fin
land in second place with 20. John
Bredemus of Princeton finished sec
ond to Thorpe in the American all
around championship and Bruno
Bredd of the Irish-American A. G.
third, and, therefore, now must be &C
corded the honors. In this champion
ship Thorpe made a total score of T.
476 points and broke the former REQ
ord of Martin Sheridan by 81 points
