MURPHY FORCED OUT
GOVERNOR TENEE AND c. p. TAFT
PUT CUBS OWNER OUT or
BASEBALL.
EvERs is CAUSE or SALE
Discord In Big League Stirred by Chi
cagoan In Attacks on Others Is
Suddenly Ended by His ResIgna-
ton.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Charles Webb
Murphy has sold his stock in the Chi
cago National league club (the Cubs)
and has resigned as president and di-
rector of that organization. His hold
ings in the Chicago club have been
purchased by Charles P. Taft.
An announcement carrying the news
that Mr.. Murphy had sold out and quit
the game was made In Cincinnati Sat
urday following a meeting between
Gov. John X. Tener of Pennsylvania,
president Of the National league, Mr..
Taft, Harry Ackerland Of Pittsburgh,
stakeholder In the Chicago club, and
John Conway Toole. director Of the
Boston National league club and legal
adviser to the National league.
There have been various reports as
to the amount of money that would be
required to buy out Murphy's control
of the club. Some have set the figure
at 100000; others at $750,O0O. Frank
Chances ten per cent. of the stock in
the Cubs ~as bought by Alderman
when Chance quit for $4,000.
The crisis which forced Mr.. Murphy
out of the control of the Cubs devel-
oped IL days ago, when Murphy sud
denly deposed John Eyers as manager
of the club and named in his place
Hank O'Day, the National league um-
pire.
The manner in which Evers was
bounced stirred up an unprecedented
flood OF criticism. which recalled Muir
phys earlier action in getting rid of
Frank Chance, and there arose a gen
eral demand that Murphy get out of
the game.
The withdrawal of Murphy came
after fourhour conference in Gin
cinnati, solving situation that had
grown decidedly delicate In National
league circles. While the conference
was in session the presidents of seven
National league clubs were also meet
ing and discussing the possibility OF
an amicable adjustment OF the Eyers
case.
Charles W. Murphy's career as a
baseball magnate extended over a
period OF little more than eight years.
During that time he gained more noto-
riety than any club owner ever had in
the history of the game.

When the noise had quieted down,
Judge Clark finished reading the YER
dict. Senator Gore was standing when
the judge began to read. At the mo-
mentous words he stepped back as if
dazed and his wife seized him in her
arms and Rugged him convulsively.
Tears sprang from her eyes and sobs
shook her frame.

is my strengthened belief In the fact
that truth always triumphs."

and was attended by her husband. She
and some of her attorneys left the

shipwreeks and Courts Martial.

The custom of holding courts martial
in the British navy after every case of
shipwreck has a curious origin. In
1741 the Wager, one of Commodore
Anson's vessels. was wrecked off the
coast of Chile. most of the crew being
saved. The men and some of the jun
ior officers held that they were no
longer amenable to discipline because
their pay ceased with the wreck, but
the captain. whose name was Davy
Cheap, differed, treated them as mutt
neers and shot one of his midshipmen.
He was then deposed. and most of the
crew made off in three of the boats.
Later when it was proposed to proceed
against the so called mutineers the law
officers of the crown decided that the
men had been correct in their view.
This discovery led to the framing Of
section 81 of the articles of war. which
provides that in the case of shipwreck,
destruction or capture by the enemy
ship is held to remain in commiss IN
pending inquiry by court martial.

WEDOMOOD's MASTERPIECE.
~ Ie His Reproduction Of the Famous
Portland VaAe.

FQTStGUd Vd9Sa
Sir William Hamilton was an au.
thority on Roman and Grecian antiqui.
ties. His fine collection of them and
his great book on the subject prove
that assertion. He wrote to Wedg.
wood about that much admired work
OF ancient art (the Barberini vase) In
these terms: Except the Apollo Belve-
dere, the Niobes and two or three 9th.
ers of the first class marbles, do not
believe that there are any monuments
OF antiquity existing that were execut-
ed by SO great an artist" This is about
the highest commendation that could
be bestowed, and when we consider
that such work, so soaringly emf
nent, was successfully initiated by one
Of our own artist potters it is surely a
ground for national qualification.
The original vase came into the pos
session of the noble Italian family Of
Barberini, hence its name. 1t was
acquired by Byres, the antiquary, and
then by Sir William Hamilton, who
brought it to England in the year 1884
He, in turn, sold it to the Duchess Of
Portland. Her descendant, the fourth
duke, deposited It in the British mu-
scum, owing to which fact it Is best
known to Englishmen as the Portland
vase. It was lent by the duke to
Wedgwood to make his copy from.
The body of it had been much disput-
ed, but he found that it was glass. He
was not glassblower, but had in
vented his wonderful jasperware by
that time and decided his copy should
be made Of that substance It was a
tremendous task and took some three
years in the modelling by lakewood
and others. The cost was never re-
couped BY the subscriptions.
It is justly esteemed to have been
Wedgwood's masterpiece. 1t has been
reproduced by his successors and by
other potters, but, of course, they have
not the same market value as those
lmade by the great Josiah himself. w.
Turner in Westminster Review.
