CHEF SHEDECK REFUSES
TO Be RESPONSIBLE
Shedeck Says He Absolutely Refuses
To Be Responsible For Any Action
Taken by Officer Woolery.

"I absolutely refuse to be response
BILE for the actions Of Mr.. Woolery, the
new man appointed by the council to
take the place OIL Mr.. Gaines,' was the
statement made this afternoon by
Chief of Police Shedeck when asked
what he will do in regard to the change
in the personnel Of the police force.
"The council, or the committee which
brought up Woolery's name for re-
nomination and election, did not con-
sIlt with me one way or the other.
WOolery was simply put on the force
without one word one way or the other
from me and / don t propose to leopard
ize by bondsmen in this way" con
tinued the chief. Every time man
wants to make an arrest he has got to
run to certain members of the council
/ it appears. They appointed Woolery
without even saying one word to me
and at the same time they expect me
to be responsible for the actions of
man with whose selection had moth
ing to do.
Another Police War.
From all Appearances it seems that
another local police squabble is pend
ing. Mr.. Gaines, who was deposed by
the council last night, stated this after
noon that the row first took form in
Mayor Sleeves office when the Was
hom affair was talked over by the
mayor, the police committee, Wassorn
and himself. "Wassom caused the
trouble said Gaines this afternoon.
"He kept calling me liar and other
names during the session we had in the
mayors office until l up and slapped
his mug. This all occurred after Was
som had been arrested for drunkenness,
and it all took place right in mayor
Sleeves office. During the examina-
ton of myself and Wassom, Wassom
would not let up calling me all kinds
of vile names / warned him to cut
out the rough stuff but ne kept it
right up until finally boxed his ears
for him."
Shedeck Sore.
The chief of police is out Of humor
with the manner in which the council
let Gaines out and appointed Woolery.
He declares that the members Of the
council had no legal right to place
man on the force without consulting
him. He states that he was elected
by the people and, according to the
city laws, he is responsible for all OF
the policemen while they are on duty.
For this latter reason, declares the
chief, he does not feel that he can
rightly be held responsible for Woolery.

Talk of Accident Until On Witness
Stand-Bodies Are Held.

Montreal, June 2.-That investiga-
tion of the Empress of Ireland disaster,
with the loss of nearly 1000 lives,
would await the convocation of the
high court of inquiry June 9, was an
nounced here today, A preliminary in
vestigation was planned originally but

of trade; Sir Adolphe Routhier, of the
Quebec admiralty court; Chief Justice
Mcleod, of the New Brunswick admir-
atty court, representing Canada, and
possibly Lord Mersey, who presided at
the Titanic inquiry in England, repre-
senting the British government.
Captains Kendall and Andersen, re-
spectively, of the Empress of Ireland
and the Storstad, which rammed ana
sank the Empress, refuse to discuss the
disaster further until they appear as
witnesses at the formal investigation
The members of the crews of both
ships have also been warned not to talk
except from the witness stand.

MED|ATORS UNEASY
OVER CARRANzA'S
FIERY STATEMENTS
Declares at Durango He Will
Not Tolerate Interference
in Mexico's Affairs
REPORT SAYS HUERTA
HAS FLED CAPITAL
Administration Officials Ap-
parently Not Excited Over
Conference Deadlock
By Fred s. Ferguson.

lNu ~ Il BuoVhs
Niagara Falls, Ont, June General
Carranza was regarded here today as
having preeipitated crisis in the
American Mexican mediation oegotia-
tiOns.
The GA. B. c." mediators seemed
considerably perturbed over the rebel
leaders fiery declaration from Durango
that he would not tolerate their inter
ference in MexicO's internal affairs
nor agree even to consider President
Huerta as candidate for reelection.
The mediatOrs unquestionably were
annoyed as well as perturbed. Having
once refused an invitation to take part
in the negotiations, they intimated that
Carranza could not now expect to force
his way in.
Mexican ENJOYS Uneasy.
The Mexican ENJOYS, awaiting the
mediators decision concerning Car
appeared distinctly uneasy. Reports
that they We're themselves ON the verge
of withdrawing were not credited by
persons in close touch with the situa-
tion, however. They were believed to
be very anxious to reach some sort of
an agreement which woREdS save the
dictator's "faee" and the impression
was that they would remain as long a.
there was any hope of doing so.
The American ENJOYS continued to
insist on the rebels admission to the
negotiations.
If it proved impossible to agree on
this question it was not known whether
or not efforts at mediation would end.
Even the mediators and ENJOYS were
uncertain.
By William G.. Shepherd.
Vera Cruz, Mex, June 2.-The rumOr
that President Huerta and his family
had fled Mexico City was persistent
today.
This rumor was not only unconfirn.
ed but there was evidence that Huerta
was in Mexico City later than the date
on which he was supposed to have taker
flight.
Nevertheless, the members of party
of Mexican refugees who arrived today
from the capital expressed profounc
astonishment when told that the die
tator's family was not on the steam
ship Ypiranga, which sailed last nigh
for Havana.
Left on Special Train.
"We know said one of them posi-
lively, "that President Huerta s family
left Mexico City on special train ;
week ago Saturday and that Huert;
left on another special train last Wed
nesday. Both trains were guarded b.
soldiers.
And although he finally admitted
that this account was based on wha
Others had told and not his own per
sonal knowledge, the speaker stuck t.
his story even when indications wer
called to his attention that the presi
dent was at his post later in the weei
than Wednesday. He added that wne,
he left the capital, the general publ
was convinced also that the dictate
had fled.

FORMER CENTRAL
STAR CASTS HIS
LOT WITH FEDS
al WickIand, Who Was With
Dayton Last Season, viii
Play With Tinker'S Team
Hendrix With Chicago.
Rr JAslEs CLARKsoN.

CHICAGO. Jan. 29.-The National
league has lost another player, and
strange enough. the player was the
property of the Cincinnati club, the
organization that gave the Federals
their first lease on life when Il al
lowed Joe Tinker 20 slip from the
ranks Of organized baseball.
Al Wickland. young outhelder,
purchased by the Reds last fail from
the Dayton club in the Central league,
Wednesday signed contract 10 play
with Tinker's Feds We know the
young man signed. for we were in the
Fed offices when the notary was called
In with his trusty seal.
Tinker SAID Wednesday sa-t Wick
land was one or the brightest a.ojOr
league prospects ne has seen in years.
He's only a yOungster. but the short
time he was I'm the National league
last fall he showed all OF the ear
marks Of a regular guy.
The Cincinnati club in particular is
feeling the sting OF the Independents.
How lovely everything would have
been for the ranks OF organized base
ball had Garry Hermann given Tin
ker another managerial contract for
the 1914 season. There is no getting
away from the fact that Tinker's sign
ing with the Feds was tbs opening
shot OF success for the new league.
When ball players throughout the
country saw that Tinker had jumped
they commenced TO take the Federal
league seriously.
Tinker emphatically denied the re-
port Wednesday that Claude Hendrix,
former Pittsburgh pitcher. recently
signed by the Chicago Feds, would be
sent to the Kansas City club. Joe
says there's nothing TO that report
and that when ne signed Hendrix he
signed him for the Chicago club and
that he Will positively play here.
Charles Sorners, president Of the
Cleveland club. was still in Chicago
Wednesday. He conferred with Ban
y. Johnson and Tom Chivington,
president OF the American assOcia-
ton. at various times in the day.
Somers evidently has something up
his sleeve. IL may be in connection
with his Toledo American association
franchise; then again. it may be that
he and Ban Johnson are silently pre-
pairing the plans of attack TO be made
by organized baseball on the Feds.
SOmers said he had heard nothing
from the three twirlers, Falkenbcrg.
Blanding and Kahler, who are believ-
ed 10 have recently become Federal
league property. but ne spiked the
yarn 20 the effect that Ray Chapman.
Cleveland infielder, was contemplate
ing signing with the independents.
lie declares that Chapman turned in
his signed contract at least a week
ago. Chapman signed up for two
years.

Public Takes to Bouts of Light

All Kinds of Offers.

CHICAGO, Jan %. - The boxing
public continues to remain crazy over
1873 pounds combatants. 1t has ever
been the case and always will be so
long as the grand old mitt game
flOurshes in various parts of this
great country. A short time ago it
looked as though the legitimate light

all because Willie Richie. who grab
bed the title az 1873 on a foul, boosted
the notch and made it impossible for
the real members of his division TO
cope with him. But right here in
Chicago the 1873 pound lightweight
union was formed and since that
time the boys of that weight have
been listening happily to the merry
clink of the coin in the box offices.

the 1873 Founders, take notice of the
demand from promoters the country

TWO CANES WON
BY SINGLE SCORE
First Baptist Five Takes Six
teen to Fifteen Contest
While Trinity is Six to Five
Victor Over St. PauPS.

Two OF the highest games of the
season were witnessed on the Y. NJ. c.
A. gymnasium flood Wednesday night
when the First Baptist five took the
athletes from the First Presbyterian
over in a 1915 game and st. PauPs
quintet bowed to the five from Trim
ity, with the close score of six to five.
In the afternoon the youngsters from
First NJ. +. were defeated by West
minister. seven to one.
Neither of the evening games was
marked with exceptional basket
shooting or rapid team work. But
the two teams were at each other
from the first whistle and as fast as
one would garner a goal, the other
would tie the count. 1t was found
first game that the score stood IA to
Ii. making ii necessary that another
two minutes be played to determine
the winner Toy of the Baptists was
the successful bidder caging the
ball in the last second of play, after
a free throw had put the eMthodlsts
a point to the good.
The second game was replete with
fast action and rapid floor work, but
the basket shooting ability of the
participants was decidedly at fault.
Either lack of practice, or the for
wards being completely out of form.
was the cause of the remarkably low
score.
The afternoon game was won by
the lads from Westminster. seven TO
one. 1t was a loosely played game.
