New York Attorney General Objects to
''Misdirected Sympathy"

The fact that. General Daniel E.
Sickles was a soldier should not de-
ter New York State in his efforts to
collect the s23,476 unaccounted for by
the gneral as chairman Of the New
York monument commission. This is
the view advanced by Attorney Gener-
al Carnlody in a letter to Mrs. Helen
D. Longstreet, of Gainesville, Ga,
widow of the Confederate general.
In a telegram to Attorney General
Carmody, Mrs. Longstreet offered to
raise S23,476 from "the ragged and
manned followers of Lee
Attorney General Carmody, among
other things said:
"Your sympathetic and patriotic ex-
pressions do justice to your heart. but
they do violence to the facts in this
case. General Sickles is being prose-
cuted by the State of New York for
converting to his own use the sum of
S23,476. He was given his own time
to repay this amount, and that time
was extended at his suggestion, with
out anw desire to embarass him.
This was history must not be used
as cloak or protection for the COM
mission of crime and it is nothing less
than misdirected sympathy to under
take to so confuse the questions in
volved as to make an ordinary prose
cution for a crime seem like persecu-
tion,and to elevate as martyr a per
son who confesses his dereliction."

At nine o'clock the banquet was
commenced and for more than an hour
the guests of the evening enjoyed the
delightful repast which Messrs. White
stone and Rammel had prepared The
number of the banqueters was so large
that all three dining rooms OF the
Ramrnel were used, almost 200 per-
sons being seated at the various tab
les. In addition la large number OF
persons who were unable to secure
seats at the banquet came in to hear
the speeches.
Thomas A. Fisher, Mayor of Alex
andria, an enthusiastic fan, presided
and much of the success OF the even
ing was due to the clever manner in
which he introduced the speakers.
In his opening remarks Mayor
Fisher paid a tribute to Mr. Griffith
who he said had been one Of those who
had not only made, but played
and helped no elevate Ihe i"a1to''a'
game He said that it was by the ef-

Constantinople, Jan. 30.-The Turk
ish note, with alterations completed,
was returned to the Austrian embassy
after only a few minutes delay and
again presented to the ambassador, to
be given by him to all the ambassa-
dors. 1t was said that the draft of
the altered note was practically the
same as the original, there being no
substantial change in Turkeys pro-
posal. 1t was explained that the al
terations were nothing more than COR
rections of mistakes incident to trans
lating the note from Turkish into

reasons for this, one was luck which
largely entered into all baseball mat
ters and the other was the plar
evolved by him of cutting out ole
players and replacing them by young
sters who had ambition. Luck en-
tered into the proposition largely wher
! he picked up such players as Shanks
Foster, Moeller and Gandil.
Mr.. Griffith stated that he had in
vested ali his savings in the Washing
ton Club and for the first time in his
life was given free rein to handle
a team according to his own ideas.
He stated that he was not satisfied that
Washington is as yet championship
club but that he was confident with
the same sort of luck he had last year
his club would not finish any lower in
the percentage column than it did IN
1912.
Joe S. Jackson, sporting editor OF
the Washington Post, and one OF the
best known baseball writers in the
business, was the next speaker and ne
was spplauded to the echo when he
announced that after conference with
Manager Griffith the Washington team
would play the Cardinals on March
31st and would give tn la,sr one hall
of the receipts of the game. He fur
thermore said that all school children
in Alexandria would be admitted free.
William Peet, sporting editor OF the
Washington Herald, whose stories
are eagerly read by the Alexandria
fans, made a graceful speech in ac-
acknowledgement of the hearty welcome
that he received. He said that there
was only one feature missing to make
the banquet even more delightful and
that was the presence OF Frank NC
Learen, whose death, he said, was a
great loss to those who frequented the
Florida Avenue Park. At the conclu-
sion of his remarks, silent toast was
drunk to the memory of Mr.. Nc
Learen.
Louis A. Dougher, better known as
the Senator, the clever writer for the
Washington Times, said that ne had
never known how great man Griffith
really was, unit he had heard the eu-
lcgies pronounced by the other speak
ers. He denied that Mr. Griffith was
responsible for the success OF the
Washington team but gave the real
cerdit to the newspaper men OF Wash
ineton who told Griffith what to do
A feature of the evening was the
speech of J. Fred Birrell whose humor.
GUS hits at the expense Of the other
speakers brought much applause.
Other speakers of the evening IN
cluded William Belts, the we'll known
umpire, Harvey Crump, manager OF
the Cardinals. NJ. T. Dwyer, DR.. Il
A. German and Robert S. Barrett.
President Sylvester A. Breen, to
whom credit is due for the success OF
the affair remained in the background
out his work will not be forgotten b!
the members of the club over which
he presides or their guests.
! A delightful feature of the evening
was the music rendered by NJ. j
