TWO FAvoRITEs WON.
And Two Were Defeated in Grand Cir
cult at Cleveland.

Cleveland, July 10.-Favorites divided
honors with outsiders at the grand cir
cult races at North Randall track here
yesterday. Four events were carded
and in only two did the so-called class
of the field perform according to form.
Baron A, top-heayy favorite in the
2:07 pace, won handily in two straight
heats.
Farra. who received most of the back,
ing in the 2l2 trot, also disposed of his
field without trouble
Empire Direct, conceded the 2ils pace
before the flag fell, was never in the run
ming, and O'Brien Boy, liked only by a
few, captured the event.
Cheney thought by the experts to be
the likeliest entry in the Fasig stake
race, the big event of the days program,
was dfstanced in the very first heat. Cas-
cade, who finished eighth in this heat,
won the next two without trouble

SPORTING NOTES

Another attempt will be made to take
the lightweight fighting championship
honors away from Willie Ritchie. Jack
Brittou of Chicago is the latest as
pirsnt. Britton proposed the affair and
accepted an offer of a $4,000 purse from
the West End A. c. of New Orleans
for a 20-round bout with Ritchie to
take place the latter part of September
The Chicago fighter has greatly i'm
proved of late and is in hopes of Civ
ing the present title holder a hard run.
A year ago Ritchie had trouble in out
pointing Britton in a four round bout.
The grand circuit is now under full
way and will attract the interest of the
American sporting public from now un-
til late in the fall. The season started
in the West. The scene is now at Cleve-
land, working its course eastward. Pros
poets are especially bright for better re-
suits in the races than ever before.

EXCHANGE OF STATEMENTS.
Only Development After Long Confer
ences in Railroad War.

New York, July 10.-Long conferences
of the eastern railroad conductors and
trainmen's representatives were held Mt
their headquarters yesterday but the
only development bearing upon the
threatened strike OF the 100000 men IN
volved in the wage dispute with the
roads was a statement by President W.
G.. Lee of the Trainmen's brotherhood
containing further arguments for the in
creases demanded. This drew forth a
reply from Chairman Elisha Lee OF the
conference committee of managers.
Neither statement threw further light
upon the probable outcome of the dis
pute, both sides apparently marking
time in view Of the meeting here next
Saturday Of the employees committee of
1000 which is expected then to ratify
the overwhelming vote OF the men for
strike and bring the controversy to a
crisis.
President Lee OF the trainmen in his
statement made comparison Of freight
conductors and traanmen's wages in
various sections of the country Based
on 1Ghour day and l00-mile run,
he said. western conductors received
S4.1s day and trainmen $2.78 and in
The SOUTH the respective wages are S4.lu
and S2.75, as against only s3,663 for
conductors and S242 for trainmen in
the east.
President Lee elaborated on the
wealth Of the eastern roads and their
great tonnage and declared: 1--WE want
to be paid what the others are getting
and we are here in a body for our
rights"
Chairman Elisha Lee of the man
ayers committee in reply stated that
"The asked for increases would amount
to s17,000,000 annually, following a
previous wage appreciation in 1910 of
s30,000,o00' and that the principal ar
gument for higher pay based on the
wages of similar employment west and
south is fallacious, because these high
Ell rates were secured through coercion"

SETTING FIRE
Dramatic Statement Made
To-day by an English
Suffragette
MRS. EDITH RIGBY
GLORIED IN 1T
She Gave Herself Up Vol
UNFAIRLY to the
Police

Liverpool, Eng, July 10 "A dramati'
confession of incendiarism was made by
a well-known militant suffragette, Mrs
Edith Rigby, wife of physician al
Preston, in police court to-day. Mrs
Rigby declared that it was she who on
July burned the country residence OF
Sir William H. Lever at Rivington, caus-
ing damage of 100000. She also con-
fessed to being the perpetrator of the
outrage at the Liverpool cotton exchange
July 5, when bomb exploded, but
caused little damage.
Mrs. Rigby surrendered voluntarily to
the police. When arraigned to-day, she
gloried in her achievements. She was
remanded for further hearing.

Bulgaria Throws Up Sponge
GREEKS ARE VICTORIOUS.
Seems To Be Established By Dispatches
To London.

London, July l0.-Out of the welter OF
conflicting stories from the Balkan bat
tlefields. it is almost impossible to sift
the truth. This was markedly illustrat
cd last night, despatch from the Daily
Telegraph correspondent at Uskup, dated
Tuesday night, reporting that there had
hardly been any fighting in the last few
days, while Belgrade dispatches report
ed further Servian victories, the latest
-advices from the Seryian capital assert
ing that all the Bulgarians who had in
yaded Servia had been driven back across
the frontier.
There seems to be little doubt that
General Ivanoff's army is steadily re-
tiring before the victorious Greeks and
ii is reported that the Bulgarians have
evacuated both Kavala, where the Greek
feet is operating, and Dedeagatch.
Whether there is any truth in the
Vienna reports to the effect that Bull
gara has applied to the powers to ar
range peace is not known, but 1t would
appear not unlikely, since clearly things
are not going we'll with~the Bulgarians
and the outbreak of cholera at many
points in the field of operations, com.
bined with the exhaustion of the armies
by the fierceness of the struggle, is cal
culated to render some such solution
welcome to the combatants. This is
especially so because OF the uncertainty
of the policy of Roumania, which is
now reported to be equally ready to
attack either Serva or Bulgaria, as the
occasion may demand, in order to pre-
vent disturbance of the Balkan equilib-
rum.
The problem of dealing with the dead
and wounded is serious. The nursing
resources in Belgrade are woefully in
sufficient. and all accommodations there
are distressingly overtaxed. II is stated
that the Servians have permit<d
pause in the operations to allow for the
removal of the wounded and the inter
ment Of the dead as well as the carry
ing out of sanitary measures to prevent
a spread of cholera.
The Greek government has made ur-
gent representation to the European
governments against massaeres and atroe-
tiles. alleged to have been committed
by the Bulgarian troops and irregulars
on unarmed villagers at Bogdanza, Mig
rita, Guevgheli and elsewhere in viola
ton of the international laws of war.
This appeal declares that in the event
left to their fate, Greece will be obliged
to take rigorous measures to put an
end to Bulgarian atrocities.
A Greek official statement asserts that
instead of 10000. as alleged by Bulgaria
General Ivanoff's army consisted of
100000 men.

FEDERAL AID FOR VERMONT.
Sum of $4,000 for Permanent Road
Work From Good Roads Bureau.

Washington d. c., July 10.-Maine is
to get $4,000 from the federal govern
n1ent for road improvements, Vermont
$4,000 and Connecticut $4,000, while
Massachusetts, which could have had
$4,000 this year, if the legislature had
appropriated 100000, will get nothing
for the present.
Lyman II. Nelson of Portland. chief
of the new state highway commission,
which the governor and the executive
counsel will confirm next week, was in
Washington yesterday and, after short
conference with officials of the good
roads bureau of the department of ag-
riculture, went back to Maine with the
promise of $4,000 in government aid
for the improvement of the highway be-
tween Portland and Bath via Brunswick.
The state of Maine, in accordance with
the federal law, will double this gov
ernment appropriation and expend $780,
900 on this road.
Recently, the Vermont legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 to meet $4,000 ap.
preparation from the government and the
entire $4,000 will soon be spent on
the road between Rutland and Burling-
ton. An Inspector from the department
will go over this road next week.
In the meantime, in the hope of get
tingting $4,000 from the government,
the Connecticut legislature has already
appropriated $4,000. The department
has not passed upon Connectieut's de-
mand yet, but the chances are that ia
vorable action will be taken in the near
future and Connecticut will have $50 900
available for road improvements.
Some time ago the department noti-
fed Governor Fosss that the allotment
for Massachusetts was $4,000 provided
the legislature would appropriate $780,
000 The governor, so officials of the
department hear, turned the matter over
to the highway commission, but nothing
came of it and the legislation adjourned
without action.

BASEBALL ROW REPORTED
Between McAleer and Stahl of the Boston
Red Sox.

Boston, July l0.-There is a big row
on in the Red Sox management-a war
between President McAleer and Manager
Stahl. The outcome will be that either
McAleer or Stahl will retire from the
club.
After the final arrangement by which
McAleer, Stahl and Treasurer MeRoy
came to Boston, when the club was reor-
ganized, it quickly developed that GER
tain of the minority stockholders were
jealous of each other.
McAleer blamed Big Jake for the poor
showing of the team and this, coupled
with the fact that Stahl was trying to
undermine McAleer, led him to declare
war on the manager. He resolved to go
to Chicago and have it out with the mi
nority stockholders and has already
started on his mission. He will arrive
in Chicago next Saturday, and the indi-
cations are that the result will be the
retirement from the job of either Nc
Aleer or Stahl

funeral was held to-day at , o'clock
at the home. Rev. McIntire officiating.

PUT INJUNCTION
ON MAYOR BURKE
To Prevent Him from Voting with Bur.
lington Alderman on His Charges
Against +. N. Frechette.

Burlington, July l0.-A tie vote of six
to six defeated a motion to sustain the
charges of Mayor James Il. Burke
against F. \. Frechette, chairman of
the board of street commissioners, last
evening at meeting of the city coan
ell. His honor was restrained from yot-
ing or presiding by an injunction which
had been served on him earlier in the
day, or the result would have been dif-
ferent. The final hearing in the case
brought forth no new evidence and there
was nothing in the testimony submitted
but reiteration of evidence previously
placed before the board The defense
simply rested its case and did not pre-
sent any shing in the line OF evidence.
In the official absence of Mayor Burke,
Alderman Drew presided, but the mayor
was present and occupied the floor much
of the time. The Injunction preventing
the mayor from sitting at the board
meeting was granted Judge Taylor at
Middlebury yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Moulton, attorney for Frechette made
trip to that place during the day and
procured it. The injunction was granted
on the ground that the mayor presented
the charges and was therefore not quail
fed to hear the testimony Deputy
Sheriff Todd served the writ.
The room was crowded, last evening
and every little while applause broke
forth, showing that several OF the street
employees who were not
favorable to Gravel and Freehette were
present. Those to vote in favor of sus-
tanning the charges were Aldermen Rey-
nolds, Hall, Fugere, Crane, Walker and
Dwyer Those to vote in favor of FIRE.
chette were Aldermen Drew, Buell., Lam
son. Boucher. Dion and Duhamel,
There were no sensations connected
with the meeting last night except the
vote taken and the injunction restraining
the mayor. Mr. Moulton for the defense
took exceptions to most OF the test
mony, in case the affair should be car
ried TO the courts. Mayor Burke Occur
pied most of the time rehearsing the
charges made at previous meetings.
