STORIES OF FIST|C ENCOUNTER

tauqua circuit, and had devoted but
little, if any, of his time to the work
of the commission. The rumor went
SO far as to connect Mr.. Gardeners
name to letters supposed to have
been written to the President and
Secretary of State Bryan, calling at
tention to the continued absence Of
the Governor from his post of duty.
Gardner is also reported to have told
Gov. Glenn that the commission had
already received rather unfavorable
criticism at the hands of Congress
and that if he persisted in travelling
around the country delivering lectures
that body would probably abolish the
commission altogether,
Both Made DeniaIs
Both parties of the alleged encoun-
ter when seen today entered most
vigorous denials of any serious alter
cation having taken place between
them.
Il do recall said Gov. Glenn, that

my colleague, Senator Gardner. He
had chaffed me to some extent by re-

that the discussion became very heat

blows struck, and neither of US re-

very next day and have been the
warmest kind of friends ever since
Senator Gardner confirmed the story
related by Gov. Glenn and denied in
the most vigorous terms that he had
ever written to the President or Sec
rotary Bryan complaining about the
time spent by Gov. Glenn and the lee
ture platform.

he said, lis telling a falsehood. 1t is
none of my business what Gov. Glenn
does with his time, and it is none Of

BASEBALL NOTES

Ralph K. Masterman, reckoned the
best school boy as well as the best
semi professional catcher in Maine
last season. and who was reported as
reserved by the Lewiston New Eng
land League Club for next season,
may play with Portland in 1915. The
Lewiston team has no claim on Mas
terman's services whatever so says
the big backstop, who is now a stu
dent at Kent's Hill Seminary. He is
a free agent and thinks very favor
ably of Portland and already has
talked with one Of Hugh Duffy's rep
resentatives in regard to playing in
Portland next season.

gives energy. The season occurs in
Europe as well as in this country. 1t
is there called st. Martins summer.
The reason we should have dropped the

ing violated in the vicinity of the canal.
Secretary Daniels of the navy depart
ment prepared to order destroyers from
Charleston or from the west coast of
Mexico. according as Col. Goethals might
indicate.
Administration officials did not inter-
pref from Col. Cocktails message that
the situation was urgent, and sent for
further information in order to be adj
yised more fully concerning the general
situation at the canal.
Some officials thought that Col Goeth-
ais might have asked for the destroyers,
not necessarily for any specific violation
OF neutrality. but in order to be able
more effectively to enforce neutrality if
beliigerent warships made their rendez-
vous in the vicinity of the canal. De-
stroyers have been stationed outside the
harbors of New York and San Francisco
