Col. Rupert Denies Gilmore's
Statement Regarding Yankees

NEW YORK, January 90
James A. Gilmore, president OF
the Federal League, gave out an
interview Saturday to the effect
that Col. Jacob Rupert. jr.. told
him Mt French Lick In December
that the price for the Yankees
was $2OO,OOO. In reply to this as
sertion, Col. Rupert said:
ST Mr. Gilmore has been quot
ed correctly he has told a DELHI
crate falsehOOd. When 1 met him
at French Lick we did not dis
cuss the Yankees In any way. He
offered TO sell me the Kansas
City franchise at a very low hg-
ure, promising to give me the
strongest team I'm the Federal
League to be located in New
York.
81 told Mr. Gilmore that I did
not care to have anything
to do with the Federal
League. and that IL decided
to become financially Interested
in the national game 1t would be
with organized base ball exclu-
siyeIy. 1t is hard to believe that
Mr.. Gilmore has lied In this mat
ter. but if he made the remarks
published he is guilty.

The new owners of the New York
club seem to believe in doing things in
the proper way. Yesterday Manager
Bill Donovan. accompanied by Scout
Joe Kelley. left New York for the south
in search OF a training quarters. The
average ball club would not send two
men on such a mission, but it seems
that Kelley is to be more than scout
for Donovan. He is to be consulted on
most things concerning the playing end

Mike Mitchell has been given a
chance to pick the club he wants to
play with. Manager Griffith Of the Ma
tionals is not going to carry the vet
eran outfielder. and as the New York
club, to which Griffith presented Mitch
ell. has turned him back Griffith has
written Mike to name the club he
wants to play with and that Griffith
will make an effort to place him there.
AS yet no reply has been received
from Mitchell. 1t is not the intention
to sell the veteran to any minor league
club. though II he chooses to go to one
he will be allowed to make his own
arrangements, and as he will not cost
such a club any purchase money he
may be able to get himself a much
better contract than is given the aver
age player in the minors.
Though 1t is more than a week ago
that Joe Boehling was handed the
three contract proposition to con-
slider, nothing has been heard from
him since. Boehling, it is believed. is
giving the matter lot of thought. and
he may also be waiting to find out

capable, loyal ball player, and Griffith
would be standing in his own light to

All things considered, Foster is as Valu-
able as any man on the local team.
The New York Sun had five prominent
New York attorneys interviewed yester-
day TO get their opinions of the outcome
of the Federal League suit against or

after perusing copies OF the affidavits fur

substantial case was expressed The eX-

which the Federal League operated IS
furnished by Umpire Cusack. erstwhiie

Furthermore, 1t was minated that the

point in question was the case of Roger

The Palace team seems to be better
ing it's lead in the National Capital
Bowling League with every set it rolls.
1t is winning pretty nearly every match
in which it figures. and last night was
no exception, when 1t took all three
contests from the Potomacs.
Palace got a set of 1929 in defeating
the Potomacs, next to the best of the
evening Its games were 55S, 544 and

Nationals Get Good Scores.
The Nationals of the Arcade circuit
registered the highest team game and
team set. They knocked down 54o pins
in their first contest, got $40 in their
second and then followed those two up
with the biggest count of all-5S6. The
total of the scores gotten by the Ma
|tionals was 1850.
Brandt, Gheen, Boss and Hawksworth
all rolled we'll for the Nationals. Brandt
made a set of 347. the best, while the
other three secured totals of 1888, "a
and 343, respectively. Boss knocked
down the most pins in one game-i52-
Brandt's scores were 119, 106 and 122.
Elicit Gets High Set.
jim Ellett's good bowling was mainly
responsible for the clean sweep gotten
by Fifth over Gorsuch in the Interde
rominational. Incidentally, there was
only one other set registered that was
real close to that of Elicit. Elicit
proved a real anchor man for Fifth,
with scores of 140. 106 and 40. His
total was 366.
James of the Neslines in the Southeast
organization connected for counts Of
Ill, 1913, 121, the total being one pin
less than that of Ellett-365. Duganne
of the Accounts team in the Reclama-
ton circuit also did some good bowling,
being the big factor in the clean sweep
made by his team. Duganne got games
of 1874, 11S and 112, for a set of 1854.

Between 25 and rs Members of a

variously estimated at between 25 and

Frank was serving a life term for the
murder of the girl.
The mob was orderly, but worked
with quick precision. Eight automo-
biles took the men to within short
distance of the prison. First all wires
from the prison, and all except one
from Milledgeville were cut.

SHORTAGE IN IDAHO TREASURY.
Investigation Shows Former Treasurer
Began Taking Cash During His
First Term

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 16.-An additional
shortage of $11,171 is uncovered in
the state treasury steal as a result of
the manipulations of o. V. Allen, de-
Ifaulting state treasurer, and his form
er deputy Fred M. Coleman, both of
whom are serving indeterminate SEN
fences in the state penitentiary as self
confessed embezzlers; and the end
not yet.
This announcement is made by
James S. Bogart, expert accountant
directed to establish definitely, if pos
sible, the total shortage so that the
state can recover from Aliens and
Coleman's bondsmen, in a report to
these two officials Saturday.
The shortage found by Alex. p.
Ramstadt, president of the public util-
tiles commission, when he first took
charge of the treasury department
after Allen and Coleman had looted
the trust funds, was s92,517. With the
added shortage found by Mr.. Bogart
the total shortage is $103,6S8.
A significant feature of the Bogart
report is that the shortages discovered
date back to 1912 In making his in
vestigation Mr.. Ramstadt did not go
back that far. The treasury was there
fore being looted during the first term
of o. V. Allen, as well as during his
second term.

Cancer Immunity Hoped.

New York, Aug. 16.-The Rockefeller
institute announced Sunday a discov-
cry by two of it's investigators where
by immunity from cancer, it is hoped,
may be obtained. The investigation
was conducted by DR.. Murphy and DR..
John ]. Morton, over a period of two
years. They discovered that in the
white lympth cells of the blood there
are the necessary factors in making
animals immune fro mcancer. A de-
cided increase of the white lympth
cells gives absolute immunity, the ply
sicians declare. The investigators
treated several mice with serum of
lympoid tissue and say the number of
white lympth cells in the animals al
most doubled within few days. The
increase OF the cells can either be nat
ural or through the injection of lymph
tissue.

Dried Vegetables.

Sliced or cut vegetables dried by
special processes, so that they will
keep for long periods in various eli
mates and also be economical to trans
port, are now being manufactured;
and the United States army is trying
out quantities of them in the hope
that they will solve the problem of
furnishing good vegetables at reason
able rates to the troops at distant
posts. says Saturday Evening Post.
The process is called dehydrating,
meaning that the water in the vege-
tables is removed. Before cooking,
the vegetables are soaked in water un-
til they take up as much moisture as
they had when fresh. The soldiers
have not objected to dehydrated po-
tatoes and onions, and soldiers in prac-
teal campaigning have always been
found to be quick and keen critics of
new food schemes. For one thing,
these prepared vegetables look almost
exactly like fresh vegetables after the
cook has fixed them up, and the taste
has not been found to be materially
changed.
Potatoes and onions are the favor
lite vegetables of commissary officers,
and so the army tests have been on
those; but dehydrated carrots, corn,
beets, tomatoes and turnips are also
available. Several processes. each
either patented or secret, have been
developed to extract the water from
the vegetables without injuring the
texture or framework OF the sliced
goods.
Large amounts of water are taken
from all the vegetables. One pound
of dehydrated potatoes represents six
and a half pounds of fresh potatoes
and an equal amount when prepared
for cooking, and one pound of dehy
drafted onions represents 10 pounds
of fresh onions. Consequently, deny
drafting is not only valuable by max
ing it possible to keep the food, but
helps greatly in the transportation
problem. Great quantities of canned
vegetables were used in the Spanish
war in spite of transportation trou
bles, and the new idea should be oil
immense value in another campaign
Attempts have been made to serve
the troops with some form of dried
vegetables, but in the past a desic
Gated form was tried. DesiccateC
vegetables are fresh vegetables dried
and powdered, and perhaps partly
! cooked. Such vegetables keep and are
easy to transport; but trouble comes
in getting the men to eat them.
In the Philippines desiccated vege
tables were served to the soldiers, bu
they would not eat the mush, because
it did not look or taste like the rea
thing. The new system, which deliv
ers the prepared foods sliced or Gu
in fairly large pieces, overcomes the
objection.

The Steel Industry.

The steel industry developed a new
phase. A high premium was estab-
lished on open hearth steel. The steel
companies bid upon 100000 tons steel
rounds, one eastern plant quoting
upon $4,000 tons in one day. Steel
for high explosive shells is now held
at $3.50 to Do a pound, against $3.50
to 81 pound month ago. A further
advance is probable next week.
Russia will pay cash at New York
for the rails recently ordered. Sew
eral shells contracts for Great Britain
and Russia were closed. France
bought 5000 tons blooms, while Italy
wants $4,000 tons small ingots, 10000
tons of rails as well as steel scrap and
pig iron. West Autsarlia ordered TO-
900 tons rails, while India, China and
Japan bought more American tin
plate. The Union Pacific is to buy s.
600 cars.
More life was evident in pig iron
with sales of $4,000 to 100000 tons.
