SAYS NOT HIS WAY OF DOING
Declares He Did Not Threaten To
Brand As Rebels Democrat Re-
fusing To Support Currency

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 9.-Louis A.
Sarecky, formerly Governor Suffers
campaign secretary, under cross-ex-
animation at the impeachment trial,
told how he had destroyed practically
all of the check books, check stubs
and memoranda in connection with
contributions to the governors cam
paign fund. which were in his posses:
sion.
He also admitted emitting the, con-
tributions of prominent brewers from
the campaign statement, which he
said he prepared and which the gov.
ernor swore to and filed with the sec.
rotary of state
The cross-examination of Sarecky
was searching-an inquiry into the
most minute details of his connection
with the impeached executive and of
his handling of the Sulzer campaign
funds.
Sarecky declared he had no bank
account in which he placed campaign
contributions, except that in the Mu-
tual Alliance Trust company in New
York.
Counsel for the board of managers
intimated that they might take some
action against Sarecky for his technic-
al forgery of the governors name to
certain checks and letters But Sulzer
never has objected to Sarecky signing
checks on the account 50 friends Of
the former secretary made light Of
the yelled threat; of the counsel for
the board.
Testifying Tuesday Sarecky said
that he was not naturalized citizen
Now, however, he stated that his f.
ther had been naturalized severa
years ago and If this proves to be the
case of course Sarecky is a citizen.

MAY IDENTIFY MAN
FOUND MURDERED
Officials Believe They Have Found
Method By Which Identity Of Sup
posed Robber May Be Discovered
KNOWN AT EAST GRAND FORKS
While There Was Known as Happy"
Informed By Police Of That
ii, City To Move On

Police officials are firm in their ha-
lief that they are at last on the path
which will lead them to the dis
covery of the identity of the man
found murdered last Monday morn
ing four miles west of Scribner.
A BemidI man, formerly a resi-
dent Of East Grant Forks, called at
the morgue yesterday and at the
first glance. recognized the dead man
as being known around the Forks
where he responded to the nickname
Of Happy. The same man said he
could identify the murdered man,
thought to have been implicated in
the Thief. River Falls robbery of last
week, by a 1art on the back Of his
neck and by a gold tooth. Both Of
these were found, and are expected
to aid in bringing out the identity Of
the man.
= AS soon as possible his name will
be secured from the East Grand
Forks; police; who several months
ago requested Happy" to move an
and his travels during the last sever
alweeks traced. In this way it is ex-
pected his company recently and
whereabouts will he uncovered. s.,
- Day by day less credence is given
to the belief that the murdered wan
was connected in any way with the
Thief River Falls robbery, as the Of.
Ulcers are of the opinion that tho
three men guilty, Of that crime are
many miles from the scene Of that
daring robbery. However it is ex-
pected that arrests on both cases
will follow shortly, several suspects
now being watched. s .a.-
7 The inquest held yesterday result
ed as had been expected, that the
dead man met his death by bullet
from a revolver held in the hand of
a person unknown to jury.

Smith Back From Washington;
Signs Young Infielder Touted To
Be as "Good as Scotty Walker"

NTH believes that the Wash
ington team viii train in At
lanta this spring, There has been
mix-up over the question of
where the Senators are to board in
Charlottesville and 1t appears GER
tain that Griffith will use this :
an excuse to come to Atlanta,
which city he prefers above all
others as training camp.
1t was only matter Of supersti
ton that kept Griffith from select
ing Atlanta in the first place. HIS
team had such good luck after
training in Charlottesville, and the
teams that he has had in Atlanta
have had such i'll fortune that he
hated to make the switch on his
own responsibility. He is willing
to seize on any pretext, however.
to make the change. This matter
viii be definitely settled in a few
days.
NTH is sending out contracts
today. He has decided on the
salaries that he can allow the
players and doesn't expect any ma
terial trouble in getting the desired
signatures. OF course he knows
full well that there will be kicks,
but with a strict salary limit in
force ne can go only so far with
his players in the matter of salary
and when the limit is reached he
has to stop. The players who do
not want to sign at his terms will
have to discontinue playing base
ball.
Smith is notifying his men to re-
port March 10, He has not ar
ranged for ten exhibition games
and he wants his, men here in time
for little preliminary work. OF
course If the Senators train in At
lanta he will take on half dozen
games with them, which will give
him a comparatively full exhibition
schedule
A signed contract was also re-
ceiyed from William Dohler. the
youngster recommended by Charley
Alperman.

By Percy H. Whiting.

TIME richer by couple Of play
ers. the wiser by a lot of
tips from Clark Griffith and
pretty well satisfied with the world
in general and the Atlanta team in
particular, Bill Smith has blown
back from Washington.
He will stick out the week in At
lanta and then move on to Had
docks, Ga, on a double barreled
hunting trip-a quest after quail
and ball players. For at Haddocks
he will be the guest of George Stall
lings, manager of the Boston Ma
tionals and a man who will slip
Smith player or two, possibly in
Guiding Jay Kirke, before tha sea-
son is well under way.
of course business will be only
side issue at Haddocks, for Smith
plans to hunt every day while there
not that he's any notable slayer
of the feathered stuff (preferring
chickens). but because that's what
they're all doing there, and Bill
was never one to fall behind
WHEN Smith returned to At
lanta yesterday he found
waiting for him his first 1913 con-
tracts. One came from Jack Ker-
nan. who played with Selma last
year Herman was tipped off to
Smith by Matty Matthews. who
says he is the equal of Scotty
Walker at his best. Bill is inclined
to take this recommendation for
what it is Worth-but anyhow he
signed the man and plans to use
him for awhile In the spring, to
see what he can do
Herman has been playing ball
three years He started in the
Minnesota Wisconsin league in
1910, His averages that year were
Batting, 297 stolen bases, 35;
fielding, 915. The following year
he was in the same league, but no
records are available.
Last year Herman played nice
ball in the Southeastern and Matty
stakes his professional reputation
that he is fast enough for the
Southern.

Demon RUNS Crushing Wallops
Cost Amos Rusie the Chance of
Being Games Greatest Hurler

Hoosier Cyclone" in his prime He
was good natured. fun-loving
yOungster when he first became a
Giant and hardly took the game
seriously enough. He was easily
led astray. and il was unfortunate
that his career began at time
when discipline was lax and feeble
management prevalent. Many
players during the Brotherhood
year $500 had no thought of the
years to come In the game and
looked upon baseball season more
as a hurrah time Of pleasure than
matter of business.
This was possibly the youthful
Rusie's misfortune He was easily
tempted and was not under proper
control He pitched grand bah dur
ing 1890 One game of eleven in
nings that he worked against Char
lev Nichols. of the Boston club,
resulted in a victory for the Giants.
TO 0, Mike Tiernan winning the
game by home run over the right
field fence-the longest hit ever
made on the grounds, the spot
where the ball went over the fence
being marked by a small flag for
several years.
Rusie continued to DO grand
pitching through 1891, 02. 'o3. 'O4,
90 and 'o6, during which time he,
with Jouett Meekin. pitched the
Giants to victory over the cham
pion Baltimores for the Temple cup.
But during the years of his great
est success Amos continued his
drinking habits often to excess.
ana in 1895 he was heavily fined
for row he got into in Baltimore
during a drinking bout. He re-
fused to play in 1896 because the
fine was not RENTED That was a
big mistake, for his years lay-off
was very detrimental to his ability.
and although he reioined the
Giants in 1897 and was with them
In 1898, his once great ability had
waned, ana he was released to the
Cincinnati club. And, fatefully. II
was his old team. the Giants. that
gave him his big league congo by
knocking him out Of the box. and
the once great pitcher never came
back
Worked as Laborer.
Rusie drifted to Muncie IND.
where he worked ASA common la
borer for several years. but his
drinking habits became confirmed
ana no job in baseball was offered
him until he went out to Seattle as
an umpire, but he lost that and be-
came gatekeeper at the ball park.
but went back to laborlng when the
ball season was over
Ruse had an equal chance with
Chrisry Mathewson to become and
stay the best pitcher Of his DAY
and time, but his weak character
cjogsed his efforts and drink spoiled
his career
What an object lesson il should
be to all ball players OF the present
and future that the difference of
the careers of Mathewson and
Ruste affords One has the love
admiration, popularity and lasting
record for all the personal charac-
te1stic7 OF model ball player. a
credit to the great game that he
adopted as profession and man
OF high standing in the community.
RuSie is all that Mathewson is
not Poor Amos has nothing to
look forward 10 or back. He is
hopeless physical wreck. forsaken
and forgotten. \ discredit to base
ball and himself.
