players have not secured berths but
they will leave as soon as possible

$4,000 SUIT
FILED Against Jesse Calvert Of This
City by Lawrence L. Williams Of :
the County for Alienation Of
His Wlfe's Affections.

In the Mason Circuit Court yester-
day Lawrence l.. Williams NJ the
county filed suit against Jesse Salvert
of this city through his attorney NJ. j.
Hennessey for alienation Of his wife's
affections. He asks for $4,000 and
costs and all proper relief.
The petition states that Calvert had
been a visitor at the plaintiffs home
quite a number of times while he was
present and also during his absence.
He claims that the trips were made
for the purpose of misrepresentinR
him to his wife and had induced her
to mistreat and abandon him and to
finally secure a divorce. The divorce
was secured in the Mason County Cir
cult Court. His wife now resides in
the county.
Mr.. Calvert is one of the most popu-
lar men in this county and has always
been very prominent in every move
for the good of the community. For a
number of years he was a member Of
the Board of Education Of the Public
Schools of this city. He does a great
deal of stocktrading and counts his
friends by the score.
The case will no doubt attract a
great deal of attention all over the
county by the many friends OF both
parties

MATHEWSON
Il Traded to Cincinnati nj Last-Big
Deal Agreed on After a Confer
ence Lasting, Two Hours.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 2s--Presi-
dent Hermann announced today that
he had agreed with President Harry
Hampstead and Manager McGraw, OF
the New York Nationals, to trade
Charles Herzog, manager Of the Reds
and Outfelder Wade Killifer to the
Giants for Christy Mathewson, Out
fielder Rousch and Infielder McKech-
ME.
Herzog's contract with the Reds
stipulated that any deal affecting him
must have his consent.
1t was not expected that there
would be the slightest hitch, as 1t was
known that Herzog preferred going to
New York above all other cities. 1t is
believed that several days ago, when
AIcGraw and Herzog conferred, the
question of salary and contract was
decided upon. 1t is possible that there
may be consideration Of bonus to
Herzog, but this is doubtful.
The big deal was agreed upon after
Hermann, Hampstead and McGraw
had conferred for more than two
hours.
Herzog has been manager OF the
Reds since the season of 1914. He
probably will play third base for the
Giants, his old position on that team
After a short conference with Her
zog McGraw stated that Herzog had
agreed to go to New York, and that
the deal with the Cincinnati club was
closed.
The trade as made is said to be the
original proposition made by New
York, with the important exception
that the clause which would have per
mitted the New York management tc
recall Mathewson after two years has
been eliminated. 1t was said Mathew.

The contractors, vastine, holland &

turn out will be moved 10 the Sixth

they will carry out this plan. but lit

Yesterdays Commercial Tribune
says: while fishing for a new in

to show his ability? The practice this
lad has shown every indication of hav-
ing all the requirements of a good in
fielder, and while the management,
knows two of the present players will

vent a waste of money in buying some

S50O,OOO CARGO OF
SALVERSAN ARRIVES
England, France and Germany
Lift Embargo on Drug in
Response to Appeals

NEW YORK, May 26.-In the hold of the
Nieuw Amsterdam, which arrived in port
wednesday, there is a 100000 cargo A
few zinc-lined crates hold II all Carefully
packed inside these creates, in tiny, hermet-
icaly sealed glass tubes is salvarsan a
drug. the manufacture of which is carried
on exclusively in Germany and one of the
first commodities on which England and
her allies laid an embargo.
Save for an almost negligible quantity
which arrived in in New York last Decem-
Der the Nieuw Amsterdam's cargo is the
first shipment of the drug to reach North
America since the beginning of the European
war.
To prevent speculation in the drug II will
be sold only to reputable physicians and
hospitals No drug store or commercial
chemical house will be able to purchase it.
Within the last few months the price for
a single ampule of the drug has been $50
Less than a week ago an ampule was sold
for 500.
It required great efforts to get the Nieuw
Amsterdam's consignment through. APP
peals were made first TO the Foreign Office
in England, and later Ambassador Sharp,
on December of last year the two
Governments agreed to allow S1.000,000
worth of salvarsan to come out of Germany.
The German Government had likewise laid
an embargo on the drug. An agent of the
company which has the sole right of dis
tributon of the drug in the United States
made a special trip to Berlin to lay his
plea before the German Foreign Office The
matter was presented to the Emperor, who
ordered ION the grounds of humanity"
that the consignment be allowed to leave.

of terror by wringing her hands, in which
process she managed to slip from her fin
gers several diamond rings and dropped
three bracelets from her wrists. II was
dark and the robber did not notice the
