INTEREST IN CUBS
New York, March 4.-Charles
Weeghman, hacker of the Chicago
Federal League club, will become the
owner of the Chicago Cubs before the
end of the week, according to re-
port here today originating from a
source closed to Charles P, Taft. This
disposal of the Cubs is the method
chosen by the National League to
avoid a destructive financial fight
with the >Federals.
Governor Tener will arrive here
Friday. Charles P. Taft will also be
on hand, and the report today declar-
ed they would meet Weeghman and
arrange the sale of the Cubs.
Weeghman, it is said, has no inten-
ton of dropping the Federals ''cold,"
but a part of the deal will be recog-
milton of the new league in some way.
Whether this will be the assuming
of all Federal League contracts by
the National and the disbanding of
the new organization, or its admis-
sion into organized ball with revised
circuit to form a new major league, is
not definitely known.

First ward; Eugene Brady, council
councilman, Third ward.

Nabbed While Staging Battle
in Imitation of Europeans

Evidently jealous of the attention
which European military operations
have been receiving in the newspa-
pers, Edward Monahan, thirty years
old, laborer, of 226 Sanford avenue,
East Orange set out early this morn
ing to attain a little notoriety for
himself and incidentally to spoil the
sleep of practically the entire Elmwood
section of the city. Aided by a muir
demonstrating 44-calibre revolver of
army pattern and a pint flask of
Kentucky's choicest product, he staged
a "battle's which routed residents
nearby from their beds and caused a
hasty and general boiling of shutters
and doors.
Six shots in rapid succession gave
the first intimation of what was COM
ing. Heads appeared at windows only
to be hastily withdrawn, and six more
shots followed almost Immediately.
Those who retained sufficient calm to
count them declare that about forty
shots We're fired before the end, which
came as suddenly as the firing had
begun. Attracted by the shots, Po-
liceman Kendell, of this city, came
across the line to investigate He
was Joined by Sergeant Mcdonald
and Policemen Vandergrift and Sham
non of East Orange. After a search
the officers heard groans from the
bushes beside the road in Brookside
street, and an investigation led to the
discovery of Monahan, apparently ex-
hausted.
He was taken to police headquarters
and charged with being drunk and
disorderly and violating the city or
dinanee regarding the carrying of
firearms. This merning he was held
in $500 bail for the grand jury by
Recorder Mott in the East Orange Po-
lice Court.

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 22.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. who is chair
man of a special committee of fed
Grafton executives in session at the
Hotel Strand, to devise ways and
means of diverting internal conflicts.
declared the belief that the European
war will not materially affect Ameri-

IT see no reason now, with the sit
uation steadily improving so far as
the export trade is concerned, why
American workmen should suffer
through any lack of employment be-
cause the nations of Europe see mt
to go to war" he said. zone result
of that futile struggle of great armies
of men, throttling industry all over
Europe, may be to convince Ameri-
cans that it is wiser to stay at home
and invest their surplus funds In
substantial enterprises on this side
of the water. Another practically
certain result is to open the markets
of the whole world to american COM
MERGE. 1t seems to me that the SPLEEN
did opportunity that now presents It,
self for the manufacturers OF this
country to develop trade in South
America and Asia must bring an era
of great mercantile prosperity. More
machinery and more plants and more
operatives will be needed, and labor
will share in the good times.

VIM. L. Ludlam, Banker, Urged
to Run for MOntclair MayOralty

Efforts are being made TO induce
William L. Ludlam, of Claremont
avenue, Montclair, to accept the
Democratic nomination for mayor of
the mountain town. Mr.. Ludlam is
not anxious for the nomination, but
the Democratic leaders are urging
him strongly to accept. That Mr..
Ludlam would be strong candidate
Is acknowledged by everybody. He
is engaged in the banking business in
New York and has lived in Montclair
nearly all his life, and is prominent
socially.
He is secretary of the Montclair
Civic Association, having held that
Office for many years. He is MEM
Der of all the leading clubs in the
town, is president of the Woodrow
Wilson Club. of Montclair, and is
prominent in church and charitable
circles. While taking an active part
in the politics of the town, he has
never accepted office. Should he al
low his name to be used for the office
of mayor, many believe that his cleo
ton would be assured.

Kearny Poor Excursion to
Be Held Early Next Month

The second annual free excursion
for women and children of Kearny
will be held early next month to
Rockaway Beach, according to Coun-
Gilman William F. Davis, chairman Of
the committee. Last year the excur-
sionists numbered 720, and this year 1t
is believed double that number will
avail themselves of the opportunity to
obtain a free outing. Mr.. Davis is
negotiating for chartering the steam
boat Minerva 1t is planned to leave
one of the docks south of the Clay
street bridge and, returning, to land
at the Clark wharf.
Councilman Davis believes $500 will
be sufficient to conduct the excursion.
This will include the hire of the
steamboat, music and refreshments.
If enough money is not voluntarily
subscribed by residents of Kearny, 1t
is likely an entertainment will be held
to raise the balance.
Rev. Robert C. Clark is secretary
and William Yates Is treasurer. Con-
tributions may be sent to the forego-
ing officials or to Mayor Robert e.
Torrance, Town Treasurer Burton e.
Garfield, Town Clerk William B. Ross,
Councilman James ]. McAteer and
