Blederman was not about the place
and declared they did not even
know him. The officer however,

New York rings by order Of Gov.
Whitman. There are all sorts of Tu-
mors flying regarding the mix-up,
and some of them are not pleasant.
Darcy has gone to Washington to
interview Gov. Whitman and ask the
executive to relent. Les claims he is
a patriot and is giving a share Of his
income to the British war fund. He
claims to have donated something
like G15O,O0O, which would be ap-
prOXimately three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars Of our money. And even
temperamental champions have to
go some to drag down sums like that,
even with the ring game on the Dor
der of insanity.
Whitman says he barred Darcy be-
cause he is a Stacker. That would
listen all right if we were at war as
an ally of England, but under the
present circumstances it has a very
fshy sound.
