Ever since District Attorney Whit
man began with his investigation of
the police grating scandal after the
Rosenthal murder every movement of
his has been carefully watched by de-
tectives supposed to be in the employ
of the grafters in and outside Of the
police department He was followed
wherever he went and every person
who called at his office or To whom he
spoke on the street or in any public
place was closely scrutinized and fol-
lowed with a view Of learning the pur-
port of his conversation with the Dis
trict attorney. Persons who were
suspected of knowing something about
the grating were approached by the
detectives of the grafters and warned
not to give any damaging information.
After the trial of the ROsenthal MUIR
Gcrers District Attorney Whitman
hoped that the watchers would be
not realized. The watchers continued
to shadow him until their persistence
got on Mr.. Whitman's nerves. He has
determined to put an end 10 this es-
pionage and to find out by whom the
men watching and shadowing him are
employed.

for him along this line. Further
more, he takes up the work with
an abundance of enthusiasm, and
the well wishes Of all interested,
who believe that the Georgia au-
thorities made a ten strike when
they landed him.
Wahoo Was Baseball Star.
Regarding his ability in baseball,
little need be said. He has played
the game from all angles-f1rst as a
member of school teams at Has
kell and Carlisle, and later in pro-
feSSional ranks. Indeed, had it not
been for the fact that he well-nigh
had leg yanked off in a football
game with Villa Nova in his last
year at Carlisle, which incapaci-
tated one of his knees, 1t is likely
that he would be following the
game as a professional today, and
would doubtless be drawing his
monthly stipend from the Golfers Of
one of the clubs in the major cir
cults.
At least one member of the At
lanta ball club is in a position to
vouch for Wahoo's ability. Harry
Bailey was his teammate in the
Ohio State league a few seasons
back, and no doubt recalls that
Charlie used to hit 'em a mile"
In fact, an investigation of the rec
ords of that circuit for the season
Of 1908 will show that the Chief led
the league with a fat average Of
.348. when the organization includ-
ed several players who have since
been drawn to the majors.
AS further evidence that he was
very valuable man and a capable
leader, it may be stated that he has
captained more than one profess
sional team
While his performances on the
baseball and football fields are
matters of public record, there have
been some several incidents in his

are interesting. to say the least.

TROTTING ASSN SESSION
NEARLY ENDS IN RUCTION

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.--Proposed changes
in the racing rules OF the American Trot-
ting association came near disrupting the
organization at special congress yester-
day
lhe first fight. which lasted an hour and
half, was on the admission of proxy
votes The proxies finally were allowed
to be admitted
The next struggle was over the adop-
tion OF rule one. of the long list of rules
TO govern racing under the auspices OF
the association for 1913. These rules were
revised. rearranged and amended by the
committee on rules last month and were
recommend for adoption
Rule one declares that all trottinE and
pacing races shall be governed by the
association rules and bylaws and MEM
bers shall not adopt or be governed by
rules or bylaws which conflict with them.
This means that the rules must not be
amended to fit local conditions and on this
the disagreement centered.
Charles Downey, of Indianapolis, finally
moved that rule one he deferred until all
other rules were acted on, and his motion
prevailed.

When youngster on the reser-
walton, he lived with his grand
mother who made persistent efforts
to bring him up on the strait and
narrow" and would frequently tell
him of some black demon Of huge
proportions that snorted fire and
that this demon would take keen
delight in devouring him If he
failed to do as he was told. He
grew up with a very vivid impress
sion Of this demon, to say nothing
Of a consuming fear.
When the Demon, Chased Him.
At the age of twelve years, it
was decided to send him to the
Haskell school at Lawrence, Kans.
He was to make the trip in COM
pany with two or three other boys
who had previously been in school.
The train on which they were
scheduled to make the trip left
about midnight. Now, up until that
time he had never even seen a rail-
way train. Presently the engine
rounded a curve and hove into full
view.
1t is probable that the fireman
was stocking the engine at the time,
or, at any rate, flames appeared to
shoot forth from a dozen different
sources. 1t took Charlie barely a
second to decide that this was the
being to which grandmother had
referred, and it likewise took him
less time to decide on the proper
stunt under the circumstances.
Some one found him in a nearby
ravine early the next morning.
His friends, however, waited for
him, and the party took q morning
train. He admits now that he is
no longer gun shy" and that the
midnight "choo- choo" has no more
horrors for him than it does for
the average Knight of the Grip
who frequently finds it necessary
to desert his Ostermoor in the small
hours of the morning in order to
make a connection for Kennebunk-
port or some other out-of- thew
point.

GEORGIA AND VANDY MAY
PLAY AT PONCE IN FALL

ATHENS. GA, Feb. 19.-The University
of Georgia and Vanderbilt will probably
meet again in football next fall. and If
they do Atlanta will draw the big game
since the completion or the Georgia
schedule last fall, regrets have been ex-
pressed from every side that the two
teams were not scheduled TO meet. Espe-
cially were Georgia students and alumni
anxious for another game, as il is be-
lieved the Red and Black will turn out
the best team in its history and that
some of last falls lost honor could be
redeemd.
Overtures were made this week to the
Vanderbilt authorities for a game some
time next fall. very likely on Saturday
before the Thanks giving game, as both
teams are idle on that date.
A reply from Vanderbilt is expected to-
day, and ii is hoped that the Commodore
will be favorable for s. game
