FED MAGNATES
DISCUSS DATES

Federal League baseball magnates
resumed their confab at the Hotel
Biltnore, New York, today shortly
before noon. All of the moguls who
were present at yesterdays meet
ing were again on hand and it was
expected that all the business of the

the championship season on April 10
would be definitely settled today. p.
T. Powers said that nothing had been
done up until noontime, but the

his part he would use Stovall at first

to Call at Service,

Rev. John Mcdowell. pastor OF the
Park Presbyterian Church, of this
city, who has received call to be-
come pastor Of the fashionable
Brown Memorial Church, of Balti-
more, Nd, will announce his decision
relative to the call to members of
the local congregation at the close of

cisiop will also be made known in the
Baltimore church at the same time
He announced before going to Balti-
more last Saturday to look the field
over and preach In the Memorial
church, that he would not make any
definite announcement to anyone in
advance of his own congregation. All
efforts of his friends to secure from
him a definite statement have failed.
1t is feared however, that he will ac-
cept the Baltimore call.
When asked this afternoon to give
an intimation as to whether he would
accept tho call, Mr.. Mcdowell said:
81 can't do that; it would not be fair,
in view of the fact that 1 said I
would make my first announcement
to my own people here"

in Philadelphia only g. few hours
when he got into trouble.
The disappearance Of Miller from
Newark may lead to a solution of a
number of daring robberies that
have puzzled the local police for the
last month or SO. 1t Is known that
Miller worked with a gang OF other
desperate criminals. He is believed
to have been one of the burglars that
recently perpetrated robberies in the
Forest Hill and Woodside sections.
These burglaries have shown that
they were the work of most daring
characters, who would not hesitate
for a moment to shoot in order to
protect themselves.
Known as "Sailor Jake"
While in this city Miller was known
as Sailor Jake" 1t is said that one
time he was in the navy. His real
name was not known to the persons
with whom he associated while in
Newark. Miller was cautious about
letting anything be known of mis-
past. He always carried an auto
matte revolver and frequently
boasted that anyone would be taken
he be annoyed.
One night last week Miller and sew
eral of his associates walked into a
saloon at Mulberry and Green streets.
They were there for q short time
when Lieutenants Patrick Ryan and
John Harris, of the detective bureau
at police headquarters, quietly
stepped through a side door of the
place. Ryan and Harris have been
doing some hard work of late in an
effort to get clue to the gang that
has been raiding residences in Forest
Hill.
The moment after the detectives
entered the saloon there was an
ominous quiet from Miller and his
One of the gang had
suspected the newcomers were detec-
tives and immediately flashed an
inkling to Miller. The detectives
glanced around but failed to recog-
nize Miller from the scant descrip-
ton they had of the men who were

Ford VIII Install

According to Run1or
Motor Car Inventor Visits New
ark to Look Over
Proposition.

Henry Ford, the automobile man
and manufacturer, was in Newark
again yesterday and his visit revived
talk about Ford factory on the
meadows and also that Ford jitney
invasion of Newark is planned. He
was in the city only a short time.
w. ]. Morgan, of the Ford Metro
politan district forces, who says that
Newark will be the export city of the
country and perhaps of the work
within fifteen years, was seen at the
Ford place this morning. He would
not confirm the jitney story. but old
say that Newark needs commercial
Billy Sunday to wake the city up to
its commercial possibilities. He said
The tremendous manufacturing
facilities and advantages possessed
by Newark have not been made
known to the entire country. If
town in the Middle States of 75,000
people or less had the advantages OF
Newark they would be shouting
about 1t night and day, and they
would be spending quarter of a
million dollars a year advertising Its
advantages Don't you think that a
visit of good, road-gaged business
men of Newark to Detroit for an
interview with Mr.. Ford would be OF
advantage to Newark Has such
visit been made b yany business
men? No! AS far as 1 know, the
only thing that has been done has
been letter writing, and food OF
letters from real estate men, offer
ing all kinds OF corner lots and fac
tory sites to my employers.
I'm other words, Newark wants
something in the way of cash, in
stead of asking for something that
would produce cash for our people
As O matter OF fact, we have TO"
many bondholders and mortgage
sharks in Newark, and what is really
wanted is a commercial Billy Sunday
that would preach business hellTire
to those that will not mend their
commercial ways"

seemed that he would triumph. In
the end the superior stamina and
cleverness OF the champion prevailed.
Chambers retired fro mthe ring soon
afterward and the title which he had
held since 1872 was permitted to
lapse, and was claimed by George
Fulljames, the Canadian, Charley Nor
ton and Jack Dempsey.
Arthur Chambers might we'll have
claimed the lightweight championship
of the world. as he won the American
title by defeating Billy Edwards, who
had whipped Joe Collyer. the English
lightweight champion. Chambers has
been referred to by some sporting
writer's as the author of the famous
rules attributed to the Marquis OF
Queensberry, but this is a mistake. as
it was John G. Chambers who doped
out the code which now governs the
pugilistic game.
Chambers held the lightweight title
for seven years and retired unde-
feated. Both of his two greatest bat
ties were fought on Canadian soil. His
fight with Edwards, by which he an
nexed the title, was staged on an Is
land in Lake st. Clair. 1t was pretty
much of a fake, as Edwards, a slim,
graceful boxer, was having all the
best of the argument when the sturdy
Chambers. badly battered and all but
in. was declared the victor on a foul.
At the end of the thirty-fourth round
one of Arthur's seconds bit him on the
shoulder. When time was called
Chambers clinched and dragged Billy
down on top of him. After a few sec
onds Arthur screamed, Hes biting
met" The referee saw the marks of
teeth on Arthur's shoulders and gave
him the decision. Edwards was so en-
ragged that he biffed the referee and
then ran to the lake and jumped in.
The water was very cold and he soon
reconsidered and crawled out again.
Some of the most famous fighters
OF the period were among the specta-
tors at that bout. including Jem Mace,
Tom Allen, Ned O'Baldwin, Sam
Hurst, the Staleybridge Infant,
Barney Aaron, Tim Collins, "the Iron
Man." Johnnie Mackay, Harry Hill.
and other celebrities. representing
America, England and Ireland.
