no more than Teassure him Of her own
ignorance OF what he wished to
know.
She heard odds and ends Of .informa

freely Of the plans at hand.

From the windows she had a full

CLEVELAND AMERICANS
ARE OFFERED FOR SALE !.
- t.-.L .-. 5000 a !.
Charles v. sommers Nominal
Owner Of Team; Wants $780,
600 for Franchise.

Chicago, JAN. 5.-By planking down
$55O,O0O anyone wishing to become
baseball magnate may have the Cleye-
land American league club. OF this
amount $35O,OOO must pc in cash.
while bonds will be accepted for the
other $4,000. This is the price flx'
ed by the bankers committee, (which
controls the financial affairs or
Charles w. Somers, president, and
nominal owner OF the Indians.
The price and the conditions OF tho
sale were communicated TO Robert
M. McRoy who, with jake Stahl OF
this city. has been mentioned as pos:
sible buyers Of the franchise. Judg'
ing from the comments of McROy, no
was pleased at the turn Of affairs and
he intimatcd that this was the lowest
figure mentioned to date.
1--WE have done absolutely nothing
in closing the deal for the Cleveland
club, said McRoy I'VE have simply
talked over the matter among our
selves We will not do anything I'M
til the situation at Cleveland has
been thoroughly canvasscd. Presi-
dent Johnson and the bankers com.
mi,tce have been trying to interest
Cleveland capital in the club SO far
| believe, they have not succeeded.
"Ir it should be impossible, ~. raise
the capital for the, club AT home we
might be willing. to. SHOW Tic bankers
where there is some money ready TO
be invested in a ball club. The PRO-
position, il the price Is right, looks
attractive from baseball viewpoint,
and we might be willing to consider
the DEAL
McRoy explained, in discussing the
figures, that as he understood it, the
total amount mentioned included tho
ball club, good will, stand and real
estate. As there are 100000 worth
of bonds outstanding apparently tho
bankers arc willing to take their
equivalent, but the rest must be cash.
1t cost about 100000 to erect tho
present stand, while the ground is
rapidly rising in value.
According to experts the franchise
and players would be a bargain even
ut the price mentioned.
Although IL 10 'UCiCNCu CudL tuC
bankers would be willing to knock off
another $tJ,0C9 in order to make a
quick sale, originally they. held the
club at $577OCO, but as the baseball
market is s:agnant they Topped Off
$4,000.
That the acquisition of the club by
McRoy and Stahl would be popular
move is the belief in baseball circles.
Both would bring to the club world
of experience, while Stahl. in addi-
ton, has the prestige of a worlds
cash behind him. McItoy has been in
the game for years as secretary OF
the American league and later as part
owner of the Boston Red Sox. Stahl
has been Unidentified. with the sport
off and on for the last twelve years,
or ever since he graduated from tho
University Of Illinois. 1t is no secret
that the two can command ample cap

In the Name Of the King.

In the Name Of the King.
It was plain enough to Count Sschio
which way Kitty would head in her
flight. Her car was little more than
out of sight on the Gretzhotfen road,
ere Sachio himself was in pursuit.
Count Sachio himself was no blum.
derer, and no common thief chaser. but
a courtier and a man Of intelligence.
He knew it would be futile to make
a direct demand of the hotel manage
ment regarding the whereabouts Of
the young American. Therefore, while
he himself approached the hotel desk
to engage the clerks in conversation,
he sent two Of his own men-one OF
them Bartel, the spy, who had been
established here so long-by way OF
a rear stairway to find kittys room
and report to him what they learned.
He stood for some time making po-
lite speeches with the desk men and
the porters, asking for certain infor'
nation as to routes and distances. but
all the time burning with Impotence
that he heard no report from his mes
sengers. AS he stood, there came
news of DEMONSTRATING news enough.
There came shrieking down the stairs,
incoherent, babbling, a maid who
called out to the clerk, or to any who
would hear her!
"A man." she cried-"A man-killed
in her room-the young Americans
room-murdered-it is murder. I tell
you!"
The officials Of the hotel took
prompt action.

gressional leaders agree, II enacted

justification, in the opinion of the
brotherhood leaders, to call off the

source of the optimism that the great
industrial tieup will not occur. The

employees engaged in Interstate traffic

investigation is feature of the
presidents program, but there were
indications he would be satisfied with
enough to prevent the men from
striking and take up the remainder

House and Senate leaders had agreed
to the House bill as compromise
measure, A special rule brings the
measure up for immediate action Of
the house.
This bill makes the eight hour da,
effective December l. Violation ol
the provisions will become a misde
meanor punishable by fine or i'm
prisonment
Although the leaders gave no as
surances it is certain the strike will
be called off Immediately Congress
passes the eight hour law.
The president plans to spend all
forenoon tomorrow at the capitol te
be in close touch with the legislative
situation.

ferred with the president and chair
man Adamson. He said the govern
