Jim Gilmore Favors
Stovall in New York

THE ball grounds of the New York
Federal League Baseball Club will be
built in the backyard Of the site puf-
chased by us on Monday. 1t Will oc-
cupy only a portion of the territory We
have purchased. but 1t will be the
largest amusement park in this coun-
try" This was the statement OF Jamee
A. Gilmore TO the baseball writers. We
went into this proposition with our eyes
wide open," he continued. We knew
what we were doing every second OF the
time. and the whole proposition was
figured out with every possibility con.
sidered carefully.
The statement that the grounds were
secured contingent upon the closing OF
One Hundred and Forty-third and One
Hundred and Forty-fourth street ds too
| ridiculous to be refuted. 1t Is on a par
| with the rumor that we do not actually
control the grounds. but are biuffing,
said Gilmore. You may say for me
that We have bought all but a few
plots of ground. which are tied up for
the time being. On these. however. W.
have secured the necessary option ana
|everything il In readiness for the order
to build. This order will be issued by
IJanuay Is or January 20. and the

the New York team Is scheduled to play

has not paid 81. $50 900 for mere bal

sum, and will make whatever use OF thai
ground seems most advisable. after leav

WOMAN KILLS SELF
SHOCK KILLS SISTER
Third Member of AIlenvilIe
Family May Die as Result
of Suicide

Grief over the tragic death of Mrs.
Annie jackson. who drowned herself
in Whitewater river at Allenville early
Thursday morning, caused the death of
Miss julia Christian, a sister, at her
nome in that city yesterday.
Mrs. Riley Minor, another sister, is
seriously i'll at her home in AlIenville,
due to the shock of the two deaths.
Mrs. Jackson, who was 80 years of
age, had been suffering from acute
melancholia for several days. While
her family were asleep, shortly after
midnight Thursday morning, she left
her bed, dressed and after writing a
farewell letter to her relatives, start
ed for the river.
She plunged into the water, where
the river winds through the city, but
heavy cloak which she wore, kept her
aflOat and she drifted down the stream
for a distance of almost 4 mile She
died of strangulation as she founder
ed in the water. When the body was
found, it was still above the surface
Of the water, but had lodged IN some
2~dcrbrush.
Her hat was found on the bank OF
.he stream where Mrs. Jackson had
icaped into the water. Believing that
The woman had gone down at that
point, a corps Of men spent several
hours dragging the river. A farmer
found the body.
Miss Julia Christian attempted to
take her life by swallowing poison
when she learned that her sister was
dead, but the acid was taken from her.
Her death occurred at o'clock this
morning, and her demise, according to
he attending physician, was induced
by the shock.
Mrs. Riley Minors condition is re-
gardod as critical and it is feared that
she will not survive.
The two sisters, who formerly lived
in Cape Girardeau, visited this city
Wednesday afternoon, in an effort to
purchase morphine, which, it is said,
both used. They visited the City Drug
store, but j. n. Wolsey, the manager,
refused to sell them the poison without
a prescription from a physician. They
left the store and returned to Allen
vile.

efforts of President Wilson. He naic
tribute to Senator Reed Tor his ac.i
vity in this fight.
He euIogized Senator Stone and told

He urged allegiance to thc Presi-

fought from 1904 to 1906. and we had
another panic in 1907. but if all Am

To the Editor of The Tribune:

/ 10 the Editor Of The Tribune:
am sorry if | attended "A Reader
of The Tribune" l did not mean to
critizise all German American women,
but rather those who do not seem to
understand what is necessary to be-
come an American citizen. Surely "a
Reader of The Tribune" will hardly
sanction the letter written by an
American German woman, in which
she wishes her President a pleasant
honeymoon among the submarines.
My letter was meant for the likes
of her. l would advise that she and
the rest of her kind should read a part
of Mr.. Wilson's Notes to Germany,
dealing with Humanity, and | hope, if
there skulls are not too thick, that the
meaning of those notes will penetrate
to their brains, and teach them to be
more human in the future.
It may be possible that we Ameri-
can housekeepers are not as compe-
tent as the German housewives, but We
are good students, and willing to learn.
If "a Reader of The Tribune" would be
kind enough to conduct a column in
this paper, teaching US how to wash
dishes, sew buttons, etc, she will have
our everlasting gratitude.
An American Woman.

The avenues over which must pass

necessary to protect the honor and the

public, and satisfied to leave the ques-
ton of what is reasonably necessary
