STIELOW, CLEARED.
SOBS AS he HEARS
SLAYER CONFESSED

In his cell In the death house at
Sing Sing prison at 10 o'clock this
morning. hours after the news had
been spread broadcast. Charles T..
Stielow learned for the first time that
another had confessed n part in the
murders for which he was sentenced
20 be executed.
He had heard during the nisht that
Irving King was being questioned IN
the jail at Little Valley. N. Y. about
the murder Of Charles Phelps and
Margaret walcott on March 81, 1915.
but the news brought to him to-day
that King had made q confession
came as y complete surprise.
Warden Osborne and Deputy War
en- Spencer Miller took the good news
to the death house. When they en-
tered the steel-barred abode stielow
pressed against the door Of his cell
and waited expectantly. AZ the War
den stepped forward. smiling, Stie-
lows face frightened.
Good news. Stielow!" the Warden
said. king has confessed"
"For moment Stielow's face
seemed actually aglow." Mr., Miller
said later. He held TO the cell door
for a full minute looking at US and
unable to speak. Then the tears came
and he sank back sobbing broxeniy
and almost Historically. Ths other
men called out congratulations TO him,
but no could do nothing but cry for
several minutes.
when he became quiet we told him
that OF course necessary court pro-
ceedings would take time and that he
would have to remain IN tho death
house for while"
II have had twelve months OF 1,
now and a month more won't make
| any difference" Stielow said. ''bu,
please take out my thanks to every.
body who has helped me. am glad
they have all found out that l did mo-
kill those people"
As Warden Osborne and Mr.. Mile,
started away from stielows cell 9
babel of congratulations again brok,
out IN the death house. Then sud
denly the calling ceased and almos
at the same moment the inmates
turned and shouted after the warden
who was going out the door:
warden, Warden, please conn
back and help us, will your Oh
please come back and help u.s."

YEAGER TO BE RELEASED.
Skecters' Manager May Land Job
 with Newark Club.

Montreal, Jan. 29.-Joe Yeager will be given his outright release by the Montreal Baseball Club, so that he can secure a managerial berth, ac- cording to President Lichtenheim, who has returned from New York, where he was attending the Interna- tional League sessions.
 Yeager was loaned to the Jersey City club by the Royals last season, and acted as manager for the Skeet- CTS. He may land the berth of man. ager with the Newark club in the event a club is placed in that city.
 The Royals are likely to train at IIackensack again this year, Lichten- hein said. He has secured Jack Ga dore, the big right-hand pitcher, from Brooklyn, and has Sammy Smith and Fullerton.

CHICAGO NOW OWNS CUBS.
Weeghman Buys Last Block of Stock
 from Ackerland.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-All the stock of the Chicago Cubs is now owned by Chicago men. Charles Weeghman purchased the block owner by Harry Acl1erland, the Cincinnati and Pitts burgh fan, yesterday for an amount said to be nearly double the price he paid Frank Chance for it in 1912. What the price was the Cub president would not say.
 If Ackerland received $80,00 for his ten shares he made close to $60,- 900 on his investment in three years In 1913 and 1914 the Cubs paid big dividend and also a small one last season, so it is known that Ackerland made a profitable move when he took the stock of Chance when the latter had his trouble with Charles w. Mur- phy.
 Manager Tinker of the Cubs is fig uring on selling extra players to St. Paul and three of the International clubs.
 Secretary Harry Grabiner an- nOunced yesterday that the first team of the White SoX would play the Mill lers at Minneapolis on April and 9.

Looks to Foreign Countries.

Although the activity of several
 mines may enable the production of
 1915 to be trebled or quadrupled in
 1916, there is little prospect that do-
 mestic deposits will make more i'm
 portant contributions of ore. Manu- lecturers of ferromanganese, as well as of dry batteries and flint glass, must continue to look to foreign coun- tries for most of their ore supplies. Unless important new sources of ore are found. there is little prospect for reduction of prices of ores and fer romanganese to the average of pre- vious years until the end of the Flu ropean war. Efforts are being made to conserve during refining the man ganese contained in raw pig iron, thereby reducing the amount Of fer that must be added to make steel. If these efforts are sue cussful, they will mark an important advance in steel metallurgy.

NO WILLARD-JOH FILM.
Circuit Court of Appeals Rules
 Against Fight Pictures.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 29.--In an opinion of Judge Bingham of the circuit court of appeals, the federal law forbids the admission of the Willard fight pictures into the United States. A decision yes- tcrday upholds the action of Judge Hale of the district court at Port land in dismissing the application of the Kalisthenic Exhibition company, Inc, of New York, for a restraining order against Collector Emmons of Portland in refusing to admit tthe film.
 Judge Putnam says Tt is plain that the film in any form is barred until there has been some positive action or the part of the treasury depart rnent to regulate it's use in some man. ner which the public morals justify and support.''

GIDEON CASE TAKEN
 UP BY BAN JOHNSON
American League Wires Griffith For Full Information Regarding In
 fcldcr's Sale to Tanks.

Chicago, H., Jan. 29.-Manager Clark Griffith has threatened court ac- tion to recover the services of Joe Gedeon, second .baseman of whom he was deprived by the recent peace set clement President Ban Johnson of the American League last night wired East for all details in the case of this player so that he may be able to help solve the tangle in which his circuit has been involved owing to this intricate case
 The Philadelphia National League club has put in a claim for the serv- ices of the player. The Phillies' off, clals contend they drafted this in fielder from tile Salt Lake City team, but Griffith declares he had an op- ton on Gedeon's services and that he exercised the option before August 15
 In the peace agreement between the Feds and Organized Baseball en- tered into at Cincinnati recently it was stipulated that the Feds were to be responsible for the players under contract and to have the right to dis pose of these players to any clubs in Organized Baseball.
 The Feds put most of their players in the hands of Harry Sinclair, who assumed their contracts
 Both the New York Yankees and the Washington Senators now claim Gedeon, while the Phillies look upon him as legltimateIy drafted athlete.

NO ACTION TAKEN ON
 BARRED ATHLETES
Joint Committc Hears Case of Dis qualified Baseball Players-Matter
 To Be Left To College Opinion.

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. 29-No decision was reached last night by the Harvard Yale Princeton eligibil- 1ty committee in charge of the cases of the five Yale athletes who were suspended from college athletics last fall for recovering board while play ing baseball at Quogue, l.. I.
 It is expected that the reinstate- ment of the athletes will be left for Yale to act on and the opinion pre- vails on the Yale campus that their reinstatement will be made before the baseball season opens.
 The committee opened it's session at o'clock yesterday afternoon and heard evidence on Quogue conditions for four hours. The committee con- tinued it's session until II o'clock when it adjourned.
 The committee included Deans Briggs of Harvard and Mechanism of Princeton and Professor Robert Corwin, Chairman of the Yale Ath- letc Committee. Yesterday after noon Milburn, LeGore, Pumpelly. Easton, and Rhett, the five disquali- lied players, stated their case before the committee.
 President Crocker of the Yale Base ball Association said that he believed the fault of the players were merely technical and unintentional and not in violation of any rule violating pure amaturism. William Ross Proctor. IT,, Chairman of the Yale News Board, and several other undergradu- ates testified in favor of the disquali- fled players.
 President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale University was at the afternoon ses- sion and Vance Mccormick, the for
 mer Mayor of Harrisburg, now a member of the Yale Corporation, was

six months of 1915. although they were normal during the next three months. For the first nine months of 1915 the imports were 40,S63 tons, compared with 62,333 tons for tho same period of 1914 and 99,752 tons for the same period of 1913. This shortage has forced two important steel producers, Jones & Loughlin Steel Co.,, of Pittsburgh, Pa, and Maryland Steel Co.,. Sparrows Point, Md, to devote furnaces to the man ufacture of ferromanganese. This Is noteworthy because most of the do- mestice ferromanganese has hereto fore been made by two subsidiaries of the United States Steel Corpora ton, although several more firms have occasionally contributed. During the year the price of ferromanganese has almost steadily risen from $70
 ton in January to $115 a ton in De- cember. Small lots are reported to have been sold at $120 a ton in De- 1 cember.

LARGER MANGANESE
 PRODUCTION IN 1915
Shortage Of Ore Indicated by Rise
 in Domestic Prices

Washington, Jan. 29-The mang- anese ore and metal industries con- tinue to undergo readjustment, but the impetus given the domestic in- dustry on account of the shortage of foreign ore has not brought forth the production that had been expected Important exploratory york and pre- parations for milling have been car- ried out at several mines in Virginia, Tennessee, Colorado, and California, but except in the case of one mine this has not yet resulted in production. A close estimate of the production in the United States for 1915 cannot be
 made, but it is very doubtful that it exceeded 5000 tons, as compared with 2,635 tons produced in 1914, accord ing to D. F. Hewett. of Nle U. $. Geological Survey. The shortage of ore is indicated by the rise in dornes- tic prices. During 1915 ore contain ing 50 per cent. manganese and adapted to making ferromanganese has sold as high as S2250 per ton, which compares with SIP per ton, the price paid a few months before the war began. The shortage ill high grade ores for use in the man. ufacture of flint glass and dry batter ies has been keenly felt and several dry-battery plants have been forced to close down. One producer in San Miguel County Colorado, reports tho sale of a small tonnage of ore con- taining 80 per cent. manganese dio- xide and less than i per cent iron, at $65 ton f. o. b. at point of ship lnent.
 Consequence of War.
 One consequence of the war has been the great change in the sources of imports into the United States. For the three years prior to 1915. India supplied slightly more than one- third of the omported tonnage which averaged 309.6S tons a year, while Russia and Brazil supplied about equal parts of the remainder. During the first ten months of 1915, Brazil supplied 181,- 25S tons out of the total of 192,~ 286 tons imported. The receipts from India were about one-twelfth normal and from Russia, negligible. In other words, receipts from Brazil were more than twice the average for the three preceding years and partly made up for the failure of supplies from Russia and India. The most recent information up to June. 1915. shows that although the Indain mines are being operated, the production is about one-fourth that of the pre- ceding year.
 Even under normal conditions in the United States. about one-half of the supply of ferromanganese is im- ported and the other half is manufac- tured largely from imported ores. The restrictions placed by England upon l the exports of ferromanganese great l ly reduced the imports for the first
