K0PF BACK WITH MAJORS
New Britain Boy Member of Balti- more Club Bought by Cincilmati- Was Formerly With Athletics.

After a season in the International league, William L. Kopf of this city, who has been playing with Jack Dunn's Baltimore club, has been pur- chased by the Cincinnati club in the National league and will report to that team at once. KOpf will be given sl tryOut in the infield and under such a capable leader as Christy Mathew son it is believed by his local friends that his stay with "the big fellows" will be permanent.
 At the outset of the present season, Connie Mack surprised the basegall world by announcing that Kopf was to be shipped back to the minors, as it was considered that his work of last season had earned for him perma- Eent place in the Athletics infield. Any rough spots that may have been noticeable in Kopf's work have been smoOthed out through the careful handling of Manager Dunn, Kopf's playing was highly spoken of by base ball writers in the International cir cult, and recently the Baltimore Star rinted a story to the effect that the fro oOklyn Robins were hot on his trail

ABOUT THAT SOLDIER BAG.
Chamber of Commerce Issues State mcnt Concerning Relief Plan.

Following a thorough investigation of the plan to canvass the city tomor- row for waste materials, which was recently announced in the press, Secretary A. H. Andrews of the Chamber of Commerce today issued the following statement regarding the propositions
 As a result of the Investigation conducted by the Chamber of Com merce regarding the collection of junk for a New Britain Soldiers fund the Chamber has been informed by an officer of A. G. Hammond Camp, United Spanish War Veterans that the project is being run and financed by out of town parties; that A. G. Hammond Camp was approached and offered a certain amount per ton for the use of their name in collecting, without their incurring any expense or obligation; that it was not the in tent of the camp to donate the amount received by them for the relief of the dependents of the New Britain soldiers serving at the border; that half of the fund was to be used for the
 
 some worthy project; that A. G. Ham, mond Camp had no knowledge of the staten ents used on the bag claiming the fund was for the relief of the de- pendents of the soldiers.
 Tt appears that the project is being run by out of town business interests, who have no interest in the project except in the value of the selected line of discarded material which was to be collected.
 'There appears no occasion for raising a fund for the relief of the dependents of the soldiers, as the city is caring for that, and no occasion for adding to the fund raised for the comfort of the soldiers, as there is now a substantial amount in the hands of the treasurer of that committee and only about 25 per cent. of the amount collected has yet been ex- pended.
 There is no reflection whatever on the A. G. HammOnd Camp as they acted in good faith in the matter.
 Ut is obvious that the kind of material which would be accepted in the proposed collection would be worth a considerable amount per ton and if our citizens contributed gen erously, a very handsome sum would be raised, providing the entire amount was turned over to some worthy local charities.'

They suddenly became embroileu in an argument when Lavina is said to have whipped out razor and made a slash at Andrechio's throat. The lat ter lodged back in time to save his Jugular vein, but the keen blade rip ped across. the flesh of his face.
 Immediate complaint was made to the police and a search was instituted last night. Lavina lives at 17 Cherry street but he did not return and as yet has not been located

STRONG FOR LANDEERS.
Democrats Begin to Show Life for
 Coming Convention.

The political pot in democratic cir cles in this city began to bubble more freely today, gossip indicating that the members of the party intend to put in the field strong ticket. Interest centers in the selection of a senatorial candidate, and from what could be learned today George M. Landers seems to have the inside track for the place without opposition but whether he can be induced to accept is still a matter of conjecture. It was learned from an authoritive source to- day that had the selection been made at the recent convention of the party in this city MT. Landers' name would have been put forth for the place.
 Interest in the candidates for repre- sentative is not so keen as yet, but a few names being heard in connection with the nominations. At this early date Edward o. KilbOurne and c. F. Wainwright seem to be lea ding and it is consensus of opinion that they will be the choice when the adjourned city convention is held.
