FOR GETAWAY
Old Fox Refuses to Com
ment on McGraw-Stone-
ham Rumor.
BY GEORGE L. NORELAND.

ny "Ns"AhNAH
President Griffith Was not like the
weather yesterday. the former was
all smiles. while the weather was
down in the mouth.
The Old Fox would uoS say why he
was so happy. AS only one mail was
delivered and that very early. II was
not stated whether no had received
any contracts in the bstch that the
carrier leg. Perhaps it was some
telegram he had received; but any
how. he was merry chap. II might
also have been the fact that he is to
leave Friday with Mrs. Griffith and a
few players that made him feel so
good. However he was in happy
frame of mind just the same.
Maybe by this time tomorrow he
may give out some dope about some
player who has decided to retire from
business and put in one more year OF
drugery Of playing ball
Refuses Comment.
President Griffith would make no
comment on the reported quarrel be-
tween Stoneham and McGraw. 1T
seems queer to me If the report Is
true that two business men who have
SUCH a SIdIu team "hN
would permit a little argument over
business get them into hot water.
hope the report is not true" is oil
the Old Fox said.
Big Ed Flaherty. the local boy. VINO

this year. is hard at work up at the
Georgetown College grounds getting
his legs in shape. Ed will depart for
New York Friday to visit his wife,
who is in New York, and Will then
proceed to Albany to join Boston
when they pass through the upstate
capital city en- route South from
Boston.
Besides the reported quarrel be-
tween the Giants owners comes re-
port that Coils. Huston and RUPERT
have had a disagreement What is in
the wind up New York way that
causes them to act that way?
Local Players to Report.
II would not surprise any of the
folks up at headquarters if one or
more of the boys should drop in to-
day. They all like 10 spend a holi-
day at home, and as every one was
respecting washingtOn's Birthday yes
terday it may be that the players
did likewise. But as that is past and
they have nothing else to do except
report. and some of the boys have
never been in Washington before,
they will want to spend a couple OF
days here before t'ey leave for
Tampa. The jamestown, n. Y,
bunch. Erickson, Greenaae and Carl
son will be here on time.
No word was received from Martin
or AltrOck as to- their trip by boat.
Both said before leaving that they
would send word how they stood the
rrip- \ funny thing happened at
Baltimore when Martin. Nick and the
Eroundkecpcr arrived 10 start on the
trip. All went aboard and about the
time the boat was ready to depart
the CClOred Gentleman who mani

guessed that he had not better go

MOVE AGAINST
VOLSTEAD ACT
Burlington Men Organizing Branch of
Personal Liberty League -
Will Quiz Candidates.

BURLINGTON, Aug 6.-Candidates for
congressman and senators in Vermont
are going to be asked to express their
sentiments on the 18th amendment, ac-
cording to the statement of several OF
Burlington's butiness men who intend
to form a branch of the Personal Lib
erty League in this city. In other worls,
they will be asked to state whether they
are wet or dry"
The informal committee that is behind
the movement will not as yet divulge the
names of those seeking to establish the
league but they claim to have a large
following among local people of all sorts
of political allegiances. The movement,
they say, is not a political one. 1t IS
concerned only in repeating or modifying
the Volstead act on the grounds that 1t
conflicts with the natural privileges and
personal liberty of the people.
Communication has been established
with the New York office and within a
few days blanks for membership will be
in the city. As soon as these arrive a
campaign viii be started to. enlist as
many persons as possible in the cause.
All of the candidates for congress and
the candidates for senators, democrat and
Republican, viii be publicly asked to take
a definite stand on the prohibition ques-
ton and state whether or not they are
for the repeal of the 18th amendment
The league is not local organizatlon'
nor one founded since the prohibition
law was passed, but has existed IN New
York and other states for some time.

BURLINGTON, Aug. 6.-Curtis S. EN-
cry Of Newport, candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor, addressed
members of the Burlington chamber of
commerce at a luncheon given yesterday
in the dining room of the Hotel
Vermont. He was introduced by Levi
p. Smith, vice president of the chamber
of Commerce. In his talk Mr. Emery
stressed the agricultural plank in his
platform. He said that he believed it
is in agriculture rather than in smoke
stacks that the future of Vermont lies
Like Frank w. Agan, who spoke at
former luncheon here, Mr.. Emery took
up the liquor question in candid man
ner Although he declared that it is
not an issue in the state campaign, but
since it has been introduced Mr.. Emery
wished to make himself clear on the
subject, He said that while Mr. Agan
had stated that he stood on his 1.-TWO
feet on a wet platform, he, Mr. Emery
stood absolutely on a dry platform. IF
Mr.. Agan requires hip boots to stand OH
his platform you can walk on mine in
silk stockings
Mr.. Emery also advocated the restor-
alton of the country school houses, max
ing them a community center, the adop-
ton of a less centralized school system,
better roads throughout the state, es-
pecialIy in the rural districts, and the
use Of every means available to keep the
hillside farms of the state occupied in or
der that all the land may be utilized to
the fullest extent.
Ia closing his talk Mr.. Emery made a
strong appeal for keeping down cam
paign expenses. He told of the corrupt
practices act which he himself introduced
into the legislature AMI which Is now a
law lie said that lie thought this law
had raised the standard of the press of
Vermont Mr.. Emery said that although
he is spending no money on newspaper
advertising and has no paid workers in
his campaign more state papers are advo-
eating his candidacy than that of any of
the other candidates. He said that his
campaign expenses up to August /
amounted to 1893 and that Mr.. Agan
had announced his camnaign expenses IN
to the same date as slightly above 81 300.
Mr. Emery stated that he had asked Mr..
Hardness and Mr.. Rabbit, who smoke on
the same platform with him in Hardwicll

of their cvucnses, but that they had skill
