Chicago, March 19.-What purports

Johnson, by securing possession of Il
certain letter, forced Charles w. Muir
ply TO trade Tinker to Cincinnati
thereby securing Frank Chance for the
American league, was published re
Gently in the Post.
According To the story. Johnson did
not hesitate to use the information H.
had secured for another avowed pur-
pose to force Murphy into a corner
The letter had been shown to him
upon his declaration that he would u.s.

go to the American league. but in
sisted upon getting Tinker. He hap
been dickering with Murphy, but the
deal had fallen through because of the
alleged exorbitant demands of Muir

At this time the other magnates
were assembling data connecting MUIR
ply with the umpire scandal which
caused the decapitation of Fogel. They
needed a certain letter i'm the posses

derstook to secure this letter and lie
sent word To the sporting editor of
the Post that it was his duty to clean
baseball to reveal the letter. No
mention was made of the Tinker
Chance deal. but the request was
based on high moral grounds. lie
claimed he wanted to bring Murphy
before the commission and Dust him
on his own testimony contained in tho
letter. with this understanding, he
was shown the letter. or permitted
to make a copy thereof, and departed,

Murphy was given his choice of turn

the former course, getting the best

 Standard time, which has now beeen adopted by nearly all civilized nations. is a great convenience to all. hut especially to railroads and travel 1ere thereon. Be fore the introduc- +ion of standard time there were near Iv three-score standards in use in the United States and Canada. Local or '.sun' time and railroad time" differ ed widely, and in consequence railway time tables were much more harrow ing compilations than they are now although some people will say that this is impossible.
 The true local time of any place is slower or faster than the standard time as the place is east or west of the time meridian. Thus, Boston's true local time is sixteen minutes fast CT than eastern standard time, and BuffaIo's is sixteen minutes slower, the seventy-ffth time meridian being midway between Boston and Buffalo. The only important city in which To- cal and standard time absolutely agree is Denver which is on the 1O5th meridian, that of the mountain sec ton.
