M'GRAW DRAWS $1.0C0 FINE FOR PART PLAYED IN ATTACK ON TENER.

John J. McGraw, manager of het New York National baseball club, has been fined $1,000 and censured and reprimanded by the board of directors of the National league for approving an interview, subsequent ly published, containing an attack upon John K. Tener, president of the league.
 The action was taken as the re- suit of the demand for an investi- gation of the case of the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers As sociation of America, after McGraw had signed a statement repudiating the interview when brought before the league on charges filed by Pres ident Tener.
 O.K.'d Newspaper Article.
 The finding of the board, as an nounced, states that witnesses in the room with McGraw at the time of the alleged interview did not hear the remarks attributed to him. McGraw is held responsible, how ever, upon the grounds that he au- thorized and indorsed the state ments contained in the interview when he accepted the original man uscript for his approval and re- turned it with the remark that it was "all right"

Hans Won RlrichroGer, one of the
two principal partners of Bleichroder
& Co., bankers, Berlin, Germany, died
a short time ago at the age of sixty
four.
The banking firm of Bleichroder X
Co, came into international prominence
when it helped Bismarck finance the
war against France, and Hans Won
Bleichroder was ennobled at that time.
His son. Hans. Jr.. was killed in action
on the Warsaw front, August l, 1913.
At one time the son was secretly en-
gagged to Princess Sophia of SaX-Wel-
mar. who committed suicide in 1913 be-
cause, it was alleged, her father, Prince
William, would not permit her mar
riage. Young BleichrOder studied bank
ing in New York in 1910. The marriage
was opposed not so much because
Young Baron Won BleichrOder was be
meath the princess in rank, but be
cause he was a Jew and refused to re
nounce his creed. The elder Bleich
roder is said to have been worth more

Hone for Benefit From War.

The Boston park shelters about 1,4oo
animals, ranging from elephants, but
falo and lions to guinea pigs. There
has been a little falling off in numbers
since the war began, as the European
dealers, through whom most of the
supply of wild animals came, have In
many cases been put out of business
by war conditions. 1t seems quite like
ly that the war will force the business
of supplying wild animals into new
channels, and, perhaps, bring Amer
lean geological gardens into close reia-
tions with the source of supply, espe-
cially in Africa. which excels all the
rest of the world in the variety ana
abundance OF. its large animals,
