clubs headquarters in the Trement
building. Carrigan went up from his
home in Lewiston and was accom-
panied by Michael McDonough, the

Manager Carrigan had an hours
conference with the two club owners,
and was given to understand that he
will be in full charge of the team both
on and off the grounds. They assured
him that everything would be done to
furnish him with the best talent to be
had for money.
Scout Patsey Donovan was called in
to express his opinion of the new men

services next season.
Carrigan said the Red Sox will play
no exhibition games at the home
grounds this year, but will finish the
exhibition season at Cincinnati April

uled for the opening game. This means,
of course, that the usual Red Sox-

and leave there about the last Of the
month nlavinp eYhihition games on the

er next year and Joe Quirk will pass
up his connections with the club he
has passed two years with. Robert

Rome, Dec. 1.-THE death of Cardi-
nal Rampolla, former Papai secretary
Of state, was not made known to Pope
Plus X until this morning. Cardlnal
Merry del Val and Monsignor Giovan-
nj Bressan, the Pope's private secre-
tardy. went to see His Holiness at an
early hour, intending to break the sad
news as gently as possible. But when
the Pope heard the name OF Cardinal
Rampolla coupled with the Word IN
disposition" he grew pale and begged
them to tell him the truth without hes
itation, as anxiety and uncertainty al
fected him more han anything else.
The two prelates then told him that
Cardinal Rampolla was dead.
AS recently as Saturday the Pope
had received Cardinal Rampoila, who
was then apparently in his usual good
health and spoke lengthily about many
affairs.
The Pope later issued the following
statement:
cardinal Rampolla was one Of the
greatest men in the church. He had
become even greater since he retired
frem state affairs.
The Pope ordered that the highest
honors should be paid to the deceased
cardinal.
on. Sunday evening last, Cardinal
Rampolla received Silas McBee. former
editor OF the Ghurchman, and his wife
Of New York.
He discussed with them the question
of bringing about a better understand
ing between all the religious seets.
Cardinal Rampolla was the closest
collaboration with Pope Leo XIII in the
movement for the reunion of the Chris
tan churches When Pope Leo was
dying a cablegram was received in
Rome saying that the American Prot
estant congregations were praying for
his recovery. Cardinal Rampolla took

POSED AS DAN mAcK's NEPHEW.
Voice Over Telephone Said LET Him
Have Money" and Nichols Did.

Lewiston, Me, Dec. 17-Frank Nc
Gillicuddy, said to hail from Bath'
paid a visit to Lewiston the first days
of the present week. He is gone and
with him has departed As good dol
lars, which he secured from Proprie-
tor Nichols Of the Hotel Rockingham
The police have been informed of the
circumstances and are making an ef-
fort to locate the young man.
The visitor from down river used
the name McGillicuddy to his own ad-
vantage by claiming relationship with
Congressman MeGillicuddy of Lewis
ton.
According to Nichols. who has re-
ported the affair to police headquar-
ters, he was informed through the tel
ephone last Sunday that Congressman
MeGiHicuddy was speaking. The con-
versation is alleged to have been as
follows:
My nephew, Frank McGillicuddy, is
in Lewiston on a good time and l
wish you would look oat for him.
Frank McGillicuddy soon appeared,
and those who are in position to
know say he was having good time.
The following day Nichols again
was called to the telephone.
This is the congressman. Is Frank
there?"
Sure" said Prop. Nichols
We'll, boys will be boys" said the
voice, adding, IF he should need any
money before l get over there, let
him have some; don't give him more
than fifty, though; all right
1t wasn't a great while after that
when Frank appeared. He did need
some cash and s45 would just about
make him good. Mr.. Nichols let him
have it, receiving an Il. o. NJ" for
the amount and which the young man
signed D. J. McGillicuddy.
The only fly in the ointment is
that Congressman McGillicuddy was in
Washington and has no nephew Frank.

Railroad employees are not in the gov
ernment employ.
Attorney General Wickersham held
this in an opinion deciding that such
employees were not entitled to be
brought under the regulation which
establishes an eight-hour working day
in all departments of the government.
1t was pointed out that the Panama
Railroad Is private corporation,
chartered under the laws of New
York. although the United States holds
the majority of the stock, and Col.
Goethals, chairman of the Isthmian
Canal Commission, is president with
other government officials constituting
the directorate.
Charges of irregularities in deal
ings between John Burke, COM
missary manager for the Panama a
nal work, and contractors who have been
furnishing supplies are being inyestigat-
ed by the government. So far as the in
vestigation has gone no loss to the gov

amount of money involved has not been
determined. Broadly, the department is
investigating to determine whether he

At the Canal Commissions offices 1t
was stated that as the investigation into
the charges against Burke is still IN pro-
eress. to disclose the governments pur-
poses at this stage might defeat its OBJ

It is admitted officially, however, that
for the last six months the inquiry mas
been in progress based upon charges pre-
ferred by Charles r. Walker, FORMER
subordinate of Burke's in the comrnis-
sary department, alleging thai MS supe-
rior officer was demanding and receiving
large commissions from persons Win
whom he had placed large contracts for
food and other supplies for the eanai

nod awarded contracts to the Colon I'M

Defense Opens in
The KellOg Case.

New York, Dec 1.-THE government
closed its case this afternoon against
Robert Kellogg, erstwhile piano sales
man, charged with using the mails to
defraud writers of song poems.
Kellogg then took the stand in his
own defence.
Many composers of popular songs,
Kellogg testified, have the gift of mu-
sic, but are not musicians. "Often the
best they can do" he testified, ''is to
pick out music for their songs on a
piano with one finger. / revise the mu-
SIC of such compositions and put into
good condition. The writing of music is
an inspiration, and it some times takes
weeks to write the music for even a
popular song. / wrote about 1900 songs
during five years. My receipts amount
ed to about $500 month";
Several witnesses who sent their
naems to Kellogg testified in his be-
half. Among them was John B. Van, an
elevator starter.
1T is great mystery where my in
spiration comes FROM" he said. Il
prefer poetry writing to elevator start
ing, but elevator starting is more GER
tain Of its pay than poetry
Tho titles of some of the songs sent
to Kellogg, as testified to by witnesses
who asserted they were satisfied with
his publishing efforts, were: La Grippe.
Kerchu"; THE Drunkard's Pay; '"The
Millionaire's Grief; when My Moth
er Used the Slipper" and Under the
Old Mans Table Again"

to the theft of the painting Mona
Lisa" was furnished to the French po-
lice by Jean Guiffrey, now curator OF
the Museum of Fine Arts at Boston,
Mass. and formerly assistant conser-
vator of the Louvre.
Pierre Marcel, who is charged with
a mission Mt the Louvre, makes this
declaration today. He says M. Cuff
frey at the time wrote giving the
reasons why the picture must have
been stolen by one of the men employ
ed In the framing OF pictures at the
Louvre. The director of the French
National Museum, Eugene Pujalet, was
impressed by NJ. Guiffrey's reasoning
and informed the police. M. Marcel
adds that If the clue had been ade-
quately followed the Mona Lisa"
would have been discovered long ago.

School House Disgrace.
IF they have any children, they will
say something must be done. If they
have a heart they will say something
must be done" This was part OF
the remarks of L. A. Jack, Esq, in
discussing the conditions existing at
the Grammar school building at Lis
bon Falls at the meeting of the Board
of Trade there Tuesday evening.
Charles F. Mann, referring to the con-
dition of the floors, said; Il have bet
ter floors in my hen house. He
thought it would be waste of money to
try to repair the building. If the floors
were repaired the ventilation would
still be bad and if this We're remedied
it would be poorly lighted and not
properly heated and yet an addition
would have to be built as it is too
small for the scholars who now attend.
If all these things were to be done,
you would still have nothing.
That Orr's Island Bridge.
The discussion of the Orr's Island
bridge will be re-opened before the su-

county commissioners last October
The matter will be referred by the su-
preme court to committee of three
as provided by law and their decision
as far as facts are concerned, is final.
A further appeal on questions OF law
may still be taken if necessary. Mr.
Wilson said that he was convinced
that the decision of the commissioners
would be reversed, when the facts as
he knows them are presented to the
special committee.
