Loses 500 on Location of
Lobster Palace in New
York City to Local Man.
WIRES HOME OFFICE

Salesman Seeks to Recoupl
. Spectacular Bet by Inform-'
ing House of Loss of Dia.
mOnd Wallet.

a. bet sof 800 to 81. offered at ths
Westcott hotel by J. Rogers, salesman,
for New York diamond company.
that certain swell lobster palace"
in Giddy Gotham was located at the
corner of Forty-ninth street and Broad
way, and lost when investigation show
ed the cafe was located at Forty-eighth
and Broadway, financially crippled the
sporty Mr.. Rogers, and the Pinkerton
detective agency is now attempting to
ascertain his whereabouts.
The Pinkertons got on his trail after
Rogers wired his company, following
the loss of his long shot" bet. that
he became separated from a case OF
diamonds on a Pennsylvania train,
somewhere between Hamilton and
Richmond.
Rogers charge that he had lost q
number of valuable gems is not be-
heved by the local police, who say that
while he was in this city he displayed
collection of sparklers worth thous-
ands Of dollars.
Backs His Statement.
Rogers made his spectacular wager
last Friday night. apparently for the
purpose of impressing several travel
ing men and Richmond youths with his
precise knowledge of the gay white
way. A local young man, however,
disputed with Rogers as to the loca-
tion Of famous lobster palace"
whereupon the diamond salesman, af-
ter displaying a case of diamonds
which blinded several people assem-
bled in the poolroom. haughtily Of
fered to bet 800 to 81 that his dis
putant was wrong.
Producing a dollar bill. with the
remark that he would risk eight bits"
on the short end Of a 1O0-to-1 shot,
even if he knew he would lose, the
Richmond youth covered the bet. A
New York newspaper was found, and
an advertisement in it showed that
Rogers location of the cafe was incor-
rect. whereupon he told the stakehold-
er. in most unconcerned manner, to
cash" to the winner.
Wires Robbery.
Apparently, however the unconcern
displayed by Rogers in parting with
his roll was feigned, for he lost no
time in wiring his firm that he had
lost case of gems. The next morn
ing, early, the local police say. he call
ed on a local jeweler. told him he had
lost 800, needed the money badly and
would sell him any diamonds he had
at actual cost. The jeweler was sus-
picious. however. and refused to ac-
cept the tempting offer.
When the Pinkerton agency tele-
phoned Chief Goodwin Saturday morn
ing to locate Rogers. the chief went
at once to the Westcott hotel and
found Rogers had checked out. and
has presumably left the city for the
east Whether the Pinkertons have
yet been able to locate him the chief
does not know.

Young Rockefeller Says Holdings Are
Not Majority of Stock.

WASHINGTON. April 6.-John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., today denied before
subcommittee of the house on
mines and mining that the Rockefeller
holdings in the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company constituted majority con-
troll. He admitted that he was mere
ly dummy" director representing

control of this concern was the chief
factor in the Colorado coal strike
Rockefeller said that he was only SO
much of a stockholder as would quail
ify him as a director. He said that
the company paid no dividends for
many wears until in 1913 it had ac-
cumulated about Is per cent of which

S21,50O FOR REPAIRS
Washouts on Liberty and
Straight Line Pixies Call
for Several Hundred Dol
lars Repair Work.

Twenty miles Of the National road
through Wayne county are now COM
pleted by the road department., at an
average cost of SIT a mile. The road
is in the condition of a new one, and
will be kept in that condition. w. o.
Jones, highway commissioner, super
vised the work.
The road has been graded and rolled
with the steam roller. The old ma
terial, which had been forced by trav-
ell to the sides of the road, was utiliz-
ed, and with the grader scraped to the
crown of the highway. No new ma
terial was used. BY May l every mile
of the 240 constituting Waynes coun-
tvs free gravel and macadam roads,
will have been gone over with the
graders, some parts twice. The work
is progressing rapidly, the assistant
superintendents being able to secure
plenty of help. After the first grading
the roads will be kept in good con-
dition continually.
The roads department will have
about s21 900 to spend during the year.
Mr.. Jones expects to leave $4,000 at
the close Of this year with which to
start next years work, but sees place
to spend all of the remainder of the
$4,000 expected.
One of the big repair jobs the de-
partment will undertake Is that on the
liberty pike near Beeler's hill. There
was a $500 washout on the road while
it was under construction by Contrac-
tor Hipskind, and through court
case, the county must pay for the re-
pair. There will be a fill on the
Straight Line pike costing 5000, and
another on the centerville and Abing-
ton pike costing almost as much.
At the end of the summer all coun-
ty roads will begraveled for the win
ter. This is expected to be as big an
expenditure as the spring road work

FIRST GAME TO LOCALS
Fourth Of July Contest With Millions
Of St. Paul Won by Score
of 2 to O.

Of st. Paul Won by Score
Of 2 to o.
Backed up by perfect support in
the field, Buck Johnson added another
ternoon, when he applied the kalso-
mine brush to the Milton Athletic
Clum team of st. Paul, and emerged
victor in a pretty pitchers battle with
Mikiski, by score Of 2 to 0. The
game was the fastest and cleanest of
any played here this season, and
abounded in sensational plays.
From the start it was evident that
the game would resolve itself into a
battle of pitchers, as Buck was never
in better form, and Mikiski, the south
paw star Of the visitors, had every
thing at his command. His curve
ball broke in beautiful style. Time
and again he would slip over third
strike, just clipping the corner of the
plate, and the batter would pass it up.
In seven Of the nine innings played
just three men faced Buck, fancy
double play wiping two off the sacks
in the fifth inning. Ten of the visit
ors were forced to hit three times at
the ozone and retire to the bench by
Buck during the course of the pas
timing, and Zenzzius, the corking lit
tie short stop was the victim every
time he went to bat
Facing a left handler for the first
time this season, Mikiski had the To-
calls guessing during the greater part
of the game. Altho not using great
| speed, he had splendid control and
| worked the corners in great shape.
Several batters nearly broke their
backs going after his slow benders.
Altho they got men on the bases
several times early in the game, the
locals found it impossible to work any
one around until the seventh inning.
Then the fireworks were lovely.
| Dean started the inning with a
corking drive over the left fielder's
head for two bases. Lamb struck out
but the catcher dropped the ball
and threw Geo. out at first. Dean
took third on the play when the third
sacker fumbled the first baseman' S
throw. Buck then won his own
game by laying down a bunt, and
beating it out, Dean scoring. Nord-
strom also hunted and beat it out
Buck moving to second. Both men
advanced a base when Picha threw
to second with no one covering the
sack. Then with the infield playing
in, to cut off run, Bill Holmberg
singled passed short scoring Buck
Nordstrom also scored but was called
out for failing to touch third base
With two out in the eighth Harsted
doubled to left, but died on that base

Notes Of the Came


Manager Kennedy of the visitors
stated after the game that that was
the first time the Millions had been
shut out since the organization of the
team, several years ago.
The game abounded in sensational
fielding. The fourth and fifth innings
saw two lightning double plays, one
by each team. In each case the first
baseman was the pivot of the play.
With one out in the fourth Harsted
got a life on Sweeneys error and went
to second on a bobble by Grogan.
Dean hit to Sweeney and was pegged
out at first. Harsted tried to take
third on the play, but great throw
to Sweeney caught him.
Mann singled to start the fifth. He
was forced at second when Dean made
a nice one handed pick up of Gro
CAMS grounder, and shot the ball to
Bob Johnson. Mikiski hit to Dean,
and was thrown out at first. Grogan
rounded second base, and a rifle shot
throw from Harsted to Lamb caught
him a couple of feet off the base.
The Milton outfield had nary a
chance during the game, showing that
the locals were not hitting the ball so
aWfully hard.
Geo. Harsted's wonderful work at
first base was one of the features of
the game. Once he went out in right
field and speared foul fly, and again
he went over to the edge of the wire
fence for another one.
But the best play in the whole
bunch was made in the seventh in
ming. With two men out Picha walk
ed, and Mann caught the ball on the
nose and it sailed out into right field
for two bases. Grogan hit a SHARP
grounder between first and SECOND
that Harsted handled clearly. Their
Buck and Grogan raced for the sack
the former beating Grogan by inches
and taking Harsted's perfect throw
for the third out.
Neal McGrew contributed three
| swell catches in left field. On eac1
occasion he was forced to sprint be
fore reaching the flying pill. Carlson
and Billy Holmberg also handled thu
only chances they had, in perfec
style.
But one man tried to steal on Oh
bic and that was in the first inning
He was turned back so far that thu
rest of them took notice and playet
safe.
Geo. Lamb played snappy gam
turnout, and pulled two corking goo
plays. With one out in the fourth h
went out in short left and captured ;
fly from Anderson's bat, that Nigh
have caused trouble had it fallen safe
as the next man singled. In the fift]
inning, Lamb sent slow roller dow
the first base line, which Grogan field
ed and held, waiting to tag Lamb. TIL
latter fooled him, however, by slidin
under him and arriving safely at first
Bob Johnson had less to do than h
usually has, but handled his chance
in faultless fashion. In fact the tear
played errorless ball, some thing the
failed to do before this year.
