A warrant was issued yesterday in
Ossining for William McDonough, de-
tective, accused Of classifying an aft
davit used by Warden Osborne Of Sing
Sing to remove former Keeper J. j..
Kennedy, following a clash in court be-
tween Osborne and Police Justice Irv-
ing Valentine.
The Judge rebuked Mr.. Osborne and
ordered him off the witness stand be
cause he gave evasive answers when
quizzed as TO whom McDonough worked
for and where he lives.
you're not only not frank" said the
Judge, "but you are not truthful. You
are attempting to conceal evidence of
crime and shield a criminal. Get off
the witness stand. ! don't purpose 70

"But," protested Mr.. Osborne. II

"Spread nothing on the record"

termine if there was ground for enter
tanning Kennedy's charge of perjury

Kennedy talked on prison affairs with
him in violation of prison rules. Ken

At the close of a lecture In the
Church Of the Messiah, at Park Avenue

Warden Osborne made a plea for funds
to defend the twenty-one prisoners
who, after having been tried and SEN
fenced by the Mutual Welfare Court.
were indicted by the Westchester
County grand jury.

Warden Osborne warned District

"Those fellows in the prison have
had q glimpse of another life, and
they won't easily have 1T taken away

Test Boards Powers.
rpy Telegraph 70 The rrIbuns.l

Albany, Dec. 5.-Colonel William
Hayward, who was appointed Public
Service Commissioner last April, will
succeed Edward +. Mccall as chairman,
il became practically certain tonight
Governor Whitman finished to-day his
opinion, which will result in the re-
moval Of Mccall tomorrow morning
unless his resignation Is received in
the mean time. Colonel Hayward's ser
vice in the commission has given him
An insight into its workings, and he Is
friendly to the Governor. These two
considerations, friends Of the Governor
say, carry great weight with him.
1t developed to-day that, while Com
missioner Robert Colgate Wood was al
most sure 70 go along with Mccall,
Commissioner George V. S. Williams
was likely to stay. Woods ousting will
be due to his holding Of stock in pub
lice service corporations after he be-
came commissioner. As for Williams,
it is learned on good authority that the
evidence so far brought out against
him is not considered of sufficient seri-
BUSINESS to put him out Of Office, and
that to accomplish this the Thompson
committee will have TO prove greater
shortcomings.
Colonel Hayward, it Is said, IS friend
" TO Williams and has convinced the
Governor that if the latter has laid
himself open to criticism 1t has been
through errors of judgment rather
rather than an intentional violation OF
the law. Williams's opinion in the
Brooklyn gas rate case and his vote TO
merge the Edison Electric Illuminating
Company and the Amsterdam Heat,
Light and Power Company, 1t is SAID,
raay be looked upon in this light.
Oliver c. Semple, assistant counsel 70
the commission, will in all probability
succeed Hayward as commissioner, and
Woods place, il is expected here, Will
be taken by Travis Whitney. Mr.. Whit
ney has been secretary OF the commits
sion since il was created, and Governor
Whitman considers him exceptionally
well informed on public utility affairs.
With Hayward as chairman and these
two men as members, Governor whit
man will have complete control Of the
commission, and it is understood that
he will then put into effect many of his
ideas concerning the regulation of pub
lie utility corporations. One thing that
has troubled The Governor has been the
failure # the commission TO have its
orders carried out. 1t is expected that
he will insist on starting criminal &C
ton to rest the commissions powers.
Colonel Hayward tried il without re-
suit. because of the numerous techni-
calities brought up by the corporations
affected.
The Governor also believes that the
1st District Commission has too large
a force. With the subway nearing com
pletion, ne considers that the. commits
sion can get along with much smaller

A baseball player with a high
or uncomfortable temper is q bad
baseball player. No man who
cannot control hts temper should
be permitted to play baseball on
major or minor league team.
There seems to be a tradition
among some of the baseball
players that a player is privileged
to attack and beat up spectators
or the public generally. Each
season brings out several fragrant
cases. Last season one of the
Boston Braves heroes" beat up
man who was just off a SICK
bed. Two of the st. Louis play
ers attacked man who resented
their approaches to his wife. One
Chicago player slugged a specta-

cases.

players on the lineup, our Tigers

score yesterday, and almost cop

Considering the crippled condi-
ton Of the Tacoma team, and the
tact that Leo MoQuarry played

dissatisfied with her team today.
Grant, by the way, was the
horo of yesterdays game. He
made the only scores that the
Tigers got. 1t was in the seventh

and McQuarry had singled, tina,
little Don Grant slipped a splen-

base line. He scored Butler and

caught Grant at the third sack.
Tho Victoria runs were Ill
oarned. In the third inning KEEL

Hogan walked. Stevens hit
through Menges. Then Butler
forced Hogan at third, and Men,

play of 1t. But his throw to first
was poor and rolled away past the
sack. Stevens in the meantime
had stopped at third to watch the
game. He didn't start running

retrieved the ball. It was easy for
HawOrth to put Stevens out at
the plate. Had the big fellow
