DENIES DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST WHITE CLERK
Adjutant General Andrews
Submits Report to the Sec
rotary of War.

Adjt. Gen. Andrews has made a report
to the Secretary of War in which he de-
clares that there is no basis for the
charges recently made by Elgin II. Bla-
lock. a white clerk in the record division
of the adjutant generals office. that he
had been Disseminated against in favor
of colored clerks in the same office
Mr.. Blalock is the president of the Fair
Play League" of the District, one of the
objects Of which is the segregation of all
colored employees In the government serv-
ice. He interested Senators Thornton of
Louisiana, Johnston of Alabama and
Sheppard Of Texas in his case At their
instance the Secretary of War called on
the adjutant general for a statement Of
the facts in the case.
Transferred to Meet Emergency.
Although the report of the adjutant
general has not been made public, it ap-
pears from the records of the department
that Blalock and twenty other clerks, five
of whom are colored, were transferred
from the Ford Theater building to the
War Department proper, to meet sud-
den increase of work, and that they had
been gradually sent back to the Ford
Theater building as the work on which
they We're engaged was completed.
1t appears also that five of the clerks.
including two colored men, had been re-
tanned on duty at the War Department a
week or so longer than the others, in
Guiding Blalock.
No Reflection Intended.
The adjutant general is undertood to
have reported that there was no inten-
tional discrimination against Blalock
and the others in that action and that
the fact that two colored clerks were
among the five clerks kept at the War
Department after Blalock and the others
had been sent back to the Ford's The
ater building was simply an incident of
the service and was not in any way a
reflection on Blalock or anybody else.
AS soon as Secretary Garrison has had
time to read the report of the adjutant
general, he WILL it is understood, send
copies of it to Senator Thornton and
the other members of Congress interested
In the case.

SETS ASIDE M0RGAN'S SALE.
Commission Finds That His Arm
Was Not in Condition.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. September IT,
Having completed the wor in connection
with the drafting Of players by the major
league clubs from minor leagues. the ma
tional base ball commission yesterday
turned attention to routine matters. One
of the cases to come before the commits
sion is that Of Cy Morgan. who was sold
to Cincinnati by Kansas city. When it is
alleged his arm, was lame and he was
utterly unfit for work. The price agreed
upon was $4,000, half Of which has al
ready been paid. President August Herr
mann of the Cincinnati club. as soon
as he heard Of Morgan's alleged condition.
held up the second payment and brought
the case to the attention Of the commits
sion. with q view Of obtaining a refund
of the money already given for the
player.
The commission set aside the sale of
Morgan and ordered that the Cincinnati
club be reimbursed for any expense 1t
had gone to in securing the player. Man
ager Carr of the Kansas City club and
Morgan himself testified that his arm
was not in condition when ordered 10 re-
port to Cincinnati.
AS soon as the winners of the races
in the National and American Leagues
are known the commission will meet
again TO make arrangements for the
worlds series. This was one Of the topics
touched on yesterday. but the base ball
leaders decided to postpone action until

In setting aside the deal by which the
Cincinnati club secured Cy Morgan for
$4,000. because the pitcher was paysi-
cally unable to perform his duties, the
national commission has set q splendid
precedent.
Misrepresentation of players con-
dition when a deal is made with another
club should not be tolerated II 1t was
proven that Morgan was unfit to work
when he reported to Cincinnati, It was
absolutely just for the commission to set
the deal aside and have the money paid
for the player returned to the Cincin-
natl club.
1t seems strange that ball clubs in
their deals with each other should have
to have the supreme court Of base ball
decide their differences. 1t would seem
that such transactions would be open
and above board, for the game Is NOT
helped when misrepresentation are ex-
posed. sport which lives because OF

ally show falling off in their work In
the next campaign. Griffith realizes that
he cannot afford to jeopardize any Of his
teams strength. for with a break he ex-
poets to be nearer the top OF the process
sion next year than he has been this
and to have a player or two go stale on
him as result Of long trip might be
q disastrous proposition.
1t may develop that Griffith has picked
up much better ball player in Spencer
than was generally believed. In the few
games Spencer has shown here he has
failed to display single weakness other

His strongest recommendation seems to lie
In the fact that the youngster has nerve

will be greatly improved If Griffith is
fortunate enough to pick up another
hitter of the Gandil type goes without
saying. HIS team needs just a little
more offensive strength to give it the
balance it requires. The pitching on
the whole this year mas been far above
the ordinary. and it would have stood
out still stronger had the hitting OF
the team been a bit harder. Most
of the games which were won resulted
from the TACT that the pitching was
strong enough to make mediocre ex-
hibitions Of hitting sufficiently pro-
ductive to overcome the few runs the
pitchers allowed.
But for the fact that McGraw Sc
cured Demaree, the young Southern
Leagne pitcher, last fall. the chances
are that his team would not now be

Demaree has a splendid record in this
race. having won fifteen games out OF
eighteen. which, it is plainly to be seen

CONNECTICUT co. TO REMOVE POLES
 ON BARNUM AVE.
Especial to The Far4ner.)

Stratford, June 6-As no one ap- peared at the special selectmen' s meeting held in the town hall at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon who was opposed to the Connecticut company rem owing some of its poles on Barnum avenue, the selectmen will give the company permission to remove the poles specified and the company's feed wires will then be re-strung bn the present poles of the S. N. E. T. com pany After the wires have been re- moved from the Connecticut com pahys poles on the avenue the poles will be taken down, making several less poles on the street.
 It will be remembered that last fall there was an agitation started to re- Barnum avenue in groups of three or four poles every fifty feet or so. The matter was taken up with the Public Utilities Commission and as a result several poles were taken down. Now that permission has been granted the Connecticut company to remove it's poles, more will be removed, and it is expected that the United Illuminating company will in the near future re- move it's poles and place it's wires on the same poles with the telephone and the Connecticut company. The street as a result will be greatly improved as far as looks goes, for the groups of three and four poles which line the highway now are anything but artistic or beautiful in appearance.
 The residents of the vicinity who appeared at the hearing were all in favor of having as many of the poles as possible removed and as the object of the Connecticut company's petition was to remove some of it's poles on Barnum avenue near King street, ev- cry one was in favor of letting the company do this.
