INDICTMENT OF
 ROGERS NOT TO
 BE PROSECUTED
He Charges Prosecutor With Being Actuated With
 Animosity.

New York, April 29-For the first time in nearly 5 months, or since the poisoning of her babies on Dec. 29, 1914, Mrs. Ida Sniffen Walters Rogers is free from the restraints of the law. Eight weeks of that time she was in the hospital a prisoner, seven months she spent in the Bronx county prison and the rest of the time sre has been out on $7,500 bail under the stipulation that she should not leave the state. With the dismissal of the second indictment against her she now is a free woman.
 'FI want to go where there are flow ers," Mrs. Rogers said, when the yer dict of the jury was announced and her husband Lorlys E. Rogers, said he would take his wife to the country to rest. The Rogerses now are living at 3440 Broadway with their eight m nonths-old baby, Lorida.
 An indictment is still hanging over Rogers head, however. growing out of his relationship with Mrs. Rogers before they were married and is based on the law prohibiting white slav- ery.'' District Attorney Martin said that in all probability Rogers would not be prosecuted on this, as he had married the woman.
 Rogers was indignant at District Attorney Martins remarks about the white slave" indictment and waxed especially bitter when MT. Martin as- serted that he always symp athized with the woman he was trying to send to the electric chair. Rogers made the following statement: \
 'I have read in the papers a state ment tpurporting to come from Dis trict Attorney Martin. It does not surprise me, though coming from any other source under like circumstances it would. In it he has the effrontery to pretend he is pleased with the verdict, after having displayed through out the entire trial a manifest anim osity.
 Nov he announces that he will arrange to dismiss the indictment against me. What he means is he does not dare to do anything else. He does not dare to come into court and submit the evidence upon which that indictme ent was procured. He knows that on the evidence he had before the grand jury there is not a Dis trict Attorney in the state, excepting 2 himself who would have permitted such an indictment
 'tI do not wish the indictment dis missed. I wish it to be tried. but Martin will not dare to trYsit. He has been afraid to try it from the very minute it was found. He never in- tended to try it when he obtained it.
 ''I made every effort that I legally could to get it tried during the months of February, March. April and May of last year. Martin now uses subsequent events as a reason for not trying the case. But if it was a crime then it is a crime now and it is his sworn duty to prosecute it. If he had a. prina facie case then he has it now. He knows he never had one and therefore will not try me.
 'tI have no way of forcing him. but what I will do in this direction I will do.''

BULGARIAN RULERS

The first ruler of modern Bulgaria was Prince Alexander of Battenberg, who was elected to the sovereignty of 8 part of Bulgaria thirty-seven years ago today, April 29, 1879. An insur- rection against Turkey broke out in 1876, and Russia. took sides with the Bu1gars. A fter the war Ia treaty was signed whereby part of Bulgaria. was constituted an autonomous prin- cipa1ity under the suzerainty of Tur- key, the remainder of the country be- ing made into a separate province called Eastern Rumelia. Prince Alex ander had to cope with many diff cu1ties, and in 1886, following the revolution by which Eastern Rumelia was annexed to Bulgaria, he was fore ed to abdicate. In 1887 Prince Fer dinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was called to the vacant throne, in opposition to the wishes of Russia, and he has since thrown off the last vestige of Turkish authority and established himself as Tsar of Bull garia. Tsar Ferdinand has now ex- tended his sway over Serbia, having conquered that country with the as sistance of Germany and Austria. Russia's opposition to the election of Ferdinand to the Bulgarian throne seems to have been justified by re- cent history.

KANSAS CITY
 AS A MAJOR TOWN

Ban Johnson's declaration that Kansas City is a town that will soon have to be 4eckoned with by the ma jor leagues recalls that the metropo- lis at the mouth of the Raw has had varied major league history. The passing of the Federal League has left the Kansas City fans to the en- joyment of Glass A minor league ball, but they are confident that this is not to be a permanent condition. It will be thirty years tomorrow since Kansas City began it's first and only season in the National League The Cowboys had a pretty fair ag7 gregation, but they finished seventh in the pennant chase. This was not
 major league town. however, for in 1884 it had a club in the outlaw Union Association, taking the place of Altoona, which dropped out. Kan sas City was also represented in the old American Association, a major ming a pennant. In 1900, the first year of the American League, Kan sas City was a, member After that the possession of Kansas City was fiercely disputed by two minor cir cults, the American Association and the Western League, but the former finally won out. Then came the Fed eral league, and last year the Kan sas City club was Hberally supported by the fans.
 Several other American Association cities have had experiences in the majors. Louisville was a charter member of the National league, but was dropped after two years, but was again in the pioneer circuit from 1892 to 1900.l The Kentucky metro polls was also in the American Asso- citation from 1882 to 1892, and won the pennant in 1890. Milwaukee was in the National Leag que in 1878, and finished sixth because there were only six clubs in the league. In 1884 Milwaukee was in the Union Assoc1a- tfon, and since then it has had br1ef experience in the American League. Indianapo Minneapolis and St. Paul have also basked for a br1ef period in the fierce light that beats upon major league municipality.

Amby Mcconnell a Manager

Old Amby Mcconnell, who useo to
 cavort around second base for the Red Sox and the White Soxs is now
 manager. Mcconnell has been en-
 gagged as the 1916 pilot of the Utica
 club of the New York State League.
 This is his thirty-third birthday, as
 he was born at Williamstown. N. Y,
 April 29, 1883 He played at Beloit
 College and at Rutland, Vt, and Dal-
 ton Mass, before beginning his pro-
 fessi ona1 career in 1904 with the Troy
 club in the New York State circuit.
 He was g. crack second baseman and
 batted 31S for the Trojans, and in 1905 he wore the Rochester uniform. He was sent back to the State league
 in 1906, playing with Utica, but in 1907 he landed with Providence and batted .S20 for the Saints That per formance won him a job in the ma jors, and in 1908 he was the regular second baseman of the Boston Red Sox He remained with Boston until the middle of the 1910 season, when he was swapped to the White Sox, along with Harry Lord. He had a fairly good year with the Comiskey- ties in 1911, but then he began to slip, and he is now back i'm the league where he started, although with the added emoluments and hOnors of 8 mana gerial berth.

GUGGENHEIM SUIT ONLY
 ONE OF MARY CLASHES IN FINANCIERS' FAMILY

terested- The company was then hav- ing some of the financial troubles that finally resulted in it's going into a re- ceivership.
 Under the non-commital designa- ton of "Chuqufcamata Prospect Will liam expects to show the brothers con ceaIed the enterprise now embraced in the Chtli Copper Company, capitalized at 0,000,0OO It was not until the end of 1912 that William woke up, he says, to the fact that M. Guggenheim Sons had perfected plans for the de ve1opment of what is said to be the largest deposit of copper ore in the world, and that he was not in on the enterprise.
 Why, you've released your share in that,' was the explanation William obtained when he demanded one, and he was reminded that on Jan. 4, 1914, he and Benjamin had signed an agree ment waiving all claims to profits in The Andacol1a Prospect, the Las Con des Prospect, the Chuquicamata Pros pect and the South American Explor- ation.
 ''Yes, but I didn'V know what the Chuquicamata Prospect was,'' Will liam is said to have expostulated, a. C. cording to this account, that led to the discovery that Daniel Guggenheim practically planned the entire Chilli Copper Company Prospect in June, 1911, while taking a rest in Vichy, the mineral water resort in France.
 For three days at that resort, Will liam contends, Daniel Guggenheim was in close conference with Albert c. Burrage, the Boston lawyer and promoter, and Pope Yeatman, a Gug- genheim metallurgica1 expert, who afterward became chief engineer in the Chile Copper Go. and the Chile Exploration Go.
 MT. Burrage at the time of the Vichy conference was in control of practically all the copper ore lands embraced in the Chuquicamata enter prise,
 The conference resulted it is said, in Guggenheim agreeing to take over all Burrage's holdings. Burrage was to have a 23 per cent. interest in the corporation, and was also to be di- rector and an officer. He is now vice president and director of the Chile Exploration Go. and a director in the Chile Copper Go.
 William Guggenheim expects to show that the promoters ofhthe Chile Copper Go. made a book profit of $75,OOO,0O0 in the organization of the company. A prospectus issued last May gives it's assets as $114, ,3O6, ,711. .34. No financial report has been issued since then because, it was said at the company's office yesterday, the proper ties are still under constructionP' The par value of the stock is $25. It was listed yesterday at $23.

New York, April 29-Silence prevail ed in the offices-newIy housed three floors of the Equitable building regard to the $10,O00,O0 suit for dam ages William Guggenheim has brought against his five older brothers, the ''smelter kings.''
 In the financial district it was the general opinion that compromise or settlement is out of the question. Dan iel .Guggenh elm. the second son, who holds the dominating position with the Meyer Guggenheim sons-WtlliaIn eX- cepted-haS declared, it was said, for fight to the finish.
 The suit, it is said, is the last of @ series of serious differences between Daniel and William. The youngest son has never been willing to join the others in conceding leadership to Daniel, the other hand, with the exception of Benjamin, who perished on the Titanic, Williams brothers have always been disposed to regard him as a dreamer and theorist.
 ''The relation that Joseph bore to the other sons of the patriarch Jacob is exactly the position that William Guggenhe elm has always held among his brothers,'' a confident of one mem Der of the family explained yesterday. Benjamin and William were always closer than were any two of the others
 From the standpoint Of w 1lllam Guggenheirn, an account is available of the formation of the Chile Copper company, which is the bone of conten- tion in the $1O, ,O00,O00 suit, that may be summarized in this w9y:
 Up to the latter pait of 1911 there were practically two factions among the Guggenhefm sons, William and Benjamin being on one side and the others under the leadership of Daniel on the other. Since 1900 William had been virtually, if not nominally out of the partnership and had been giv- ing his attention to other affairs. Ben 5anin, although retaining his partner. ship in M. Guggenheim Sons, had been
 voting most of his time to the In- ternational Steam Pump Co.
 Benjamin was instrumental in bring ing about a new understanding among the brothers by which William came back into active participation in the firms affairs.
 William Guggenhrim expects to show that in 1911, when he was read n1itted to the. partnership, the other brothers, except Benjamin, under the direction of Daniel, concealed from him the fact they were about to en- gage in a copper enterprise in Gnu qufcamata, Chile, that promised to yield enormous returns
 To prevent William from inquiring too closely into the Chi1ian venture, Daniel advised him, he charges, to at tend to the International Pump Co-, in which Benjamin was so heavily in
