JUMPS INTO SEA.
Mrs. Charles H. Wood of San Francisco
Ends Life.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. l5.-Mrs.
Charles II. Wood, wife OF banker of
this city, who died December s at Agra,
India, jumped overheard from the steam
er Iyo Maru the first night out of Singa-
pore, January s, while en- route to Hong
Kong with her husbands ashes.
This information was received here
Saturday with the arrival of the trans
Pacific liner Tenyo Maru.
Prior to leaving Singapore, Mrs. Wood
had arranged with Mrs. Esther Richard
son, friend at Hong Kong, to obtain
passage for her on the Tenyo Maru,
from Hong Kong to San Francisco.
When the lyo Maru put into Hong
Kong. Mrs. Richardson learned of Mrs.
Woods death, and received from the
captain letter addressed to her, which
was found in Mrs. Woods stateroom.
The letter said:
After all | shall not reach Hong
Kong and see you, for i am going to
look for my beloved. cannot live with
out him.
MAY trouble you to forward my
things to Mr.. Woods sister, Mrs.
Charles Musaus of San Franoiscof"
Mrs. Musaus and her husband were
at the pier when the Tenyo Maru ar
rived, expecting to meet Mrs. Wood.
Some hours later Mrs. Musaus received
a letter that had been written by Mrs.
enclosing Mrs. Woods let
ter to her, and relating the circum-
stances of Mrs. Woods fate.

passengers were taken to Newfane on

The locomotive, while returning for
the balance of the train, encountered a
snowslide which nearly buried it, and
at late hour last night it had not
been extricated.
Teams were sent from Newfane to
bring the mail and trainmen to Newfane
inn for shelter and food. Col. Davidson
of Highland Park, Ill.,, was among those
snowbound, who will have to stay a
day or two at Newfane until traffic can
be resumed. Practically all the trains
were several hours late.

Ban Johnson Thinks That
Evers Was Sorely
Abused
AMERICAN LEAGUE
HAS DECLARED WAR
Declares It's President, Who
Would Go the Limit on
Chicago Manager

! Chicago, Feb. l6.--sThe American
| league has declared war;" said Ban
johnson Saturday. I'VE will stop at
agement of the Chicago National league
club from organized baseball. 1t il, to
my mind, essential that President Tener
of the National league and Garry Herr
mann, president of the national com
mission, be clothed with absolute au-
thority to remove from the National
league any club owner held to be a
detriment to the game"
johnson, reused by Charles w. Muir
phys threat to take legal action against
him, Saturday broke the silence which
he has maintained since the Joint league
conference in New York, and outlined his
plan to maintain between the major
leagues the good understanding which,
he asserted, was menaced by the pres
ent conduct of the Cubs. The Ameri.
can league, he intimated, was prepared
to go the length OF changing the ma
tional agreement or of fayoring the for
nation OF another major league.
IL am clothed with absolute power by
the American league to remove any club
owner who is regarded as detriment
to the organization" declared johnson.
"The heads Of the National league should
have the same power. AT my meeting
in New York with Messrs. Tener, Herr
mann, Baker, Dreyfuss, and three or four
others, told them that if the National
league could not control this discordant
element here in Chicago, the American
league would not longer be able to dove
tail with their organization"
Johnson said the entire baseball world
was indignant that Evers should be
dropped few days before the team
started on its training trip. Nothing
could be more harmful to baseball" he
declared. "Evers had just been sent
South to look over training quarters and
had been commissioned to sign a num-
Der Of players--nnen whose signatures |
doubt Murphy could have obtained with
out the aid of Evers. Then he was
dropped at few days notice when he
thought in perfect good faith he had
five years contract. OF course, Evers
was dropped in accordance with the pro-
visions of his contract, and he should
have known what he was signing before
he signed it. But we don't want that
sort of thing in baseball. We want per-
feet confidence between players, owners
and the public.
"I,lly Locke witnessed the signature
to Evers' contract, and he came to me
afterward and said Evers was standing
over trap door and did not know it.
The side agreement attached to the con-
tract provided that Evers might be
dropped at 10 days notice, but Eyers
signed without reading it. We can't
afford to betay the confidence of a ball
player in that manner. This is the big
issue in baseball now, and not the Fed
eral league. | think the Federal League
comes to us now as a blessing N dis
guise. The American league has set out
to see this matter through, and we viii
not falter until it is satisfactorily set
tied
1.-THE national agreement declared
johnson, "can be changed at any time
by majority vote of the parties inter
ested. 1t doesn't require unanimous

When your blood is impure, weak, thin

Pure, rich, red blood makes good, strong
