American League ami National League Baseball Magnates Do Not Think Then' is Enough lioom for Another Club But There May Be, and O'Brien Will See. (By Leased Wire to The Times.) Chicago, Dec. 30. The American Association of Baseball Clubs has at last gone on record as favoring a change in Its present circuit so that Chicago will have a place on the list. St. Paul is the club that Is slated for transfer. At the annual meeting at the Auditorium Annex yesterday af ternoon it was decided by unanimous vote that such a change would be an excellent move, and President J. 1). O'Brien was authorized to confer with the national commission at its meeting in Cincinnati on January li and try to arrange such a deal. The idea of the national commis sion considering the proposition was laughed at by President Ban John Bon, of the American League, who declares that a proposition to give up territorial rights in Chicago or any other city must be decided by a vote of the clubs in the two major leagues. "The national commission does not have the authority to pass on a change in the circuit of any of the leagues," said President Johnson. "The vote of every club-owner in the American and N'ational Leagues would be required for such a grant, and I know that the American league magnates are opposed to such Invas ion." . ;" The proposed change of circuit was the principal topic discussed at the meeting, but after adjournment mum was the word on every hand. The magnates have decided, it is hinted, what action they will take, but have agreed to remain silent until after the national commission and the ma jor leagues have glveu a final answer.

Two brothers named Clark and two brothers named Rader bo came Involved In a difficulty and both sides used knives with deadly effect. The two Clark brothers and one of the Raders are dead and the other Rader made his escape afer the encounter He was not serious ly injured.

"James Walker (colored), 24 yearn old, 6 feet 6 Inches tall, weighs 125 pounds, dark clothes and derby hat. Last seen carrying two leather tele scopes containing about $15,000 worth of Jewelry." While the police and Plnkertons searched yesterday for Walker, Walk er hunted through the financial dis trict for John A. Lansell, whom he had accidentally missed. It was Walker's first day on the jewelry circuit, and he and his em ployer got separated, Lassell put the police to work to And Walker. With a heavy grip In either hand, James tramped until he got tired. Then he returned to the subway sta tion at John street and Broadway, where he had last seen Lassell. There he sat o.i top of the jewelry. He waited rtr three hours, and then made his way to the Church street police station. There James dumped his valuable burden on the floor, "Welcome to our statlon-hoUBe!" shouted Lieutenant Cullom; "we thought you ran away." "Ah had a fine chance to runned way wld dls yere load." answered he motioned to his baggage. When Lassell arrived 20 minutes later he .was so overjoyed he scarcely could .peak.

Cumberland, Md., Dec. 30 Some of the persons whose names have been posted on the saioons as habit ual drunkards threaten to bring suit for damages against the individuals supposed to be responsible for the lists. It is asserted that when a saloon-keeper is notified not to sell to a person alleged to be a habitual drunkard, it is for his own informa tion and not to be spread broadcast. The head of the blacklist is a Tor-, mer ''prominent business man and a nephew of an admiral of the United States navy. It is feared by many that subsequent lists may appear and embarrass some prominent persons. OFFICERS TAKE 2 B ADR And Also Destroy Two Large Distilleries THE MEN IN WAKE JAIL MR. DOCKERY ON THE RECENT ELECTION To the Editor:--Ve have survived three elections in the city of Raleigh within the year just ending:' the mu nicipal, .the bond, and the dispensary election, - ,. ' The anti-dispensary election was a certainty from the 'first, because the town of Raleigh is naturally for pro hibition. The fight has been waged and won. and hard feelings should be cast aside. The battle was manly, not fierce, and no animosities should be harbored. Liquor Is no longer straight goods, and it is now up to the drug, the soft drink, and the tiger to quench thirst. There were hard workers, with and without pay, on both sides. . In sev eral Wards, notably both divisions of the third, the prohibitionists had zealous workers who did manly serv ice, but in no ward did anybody do greater service on the other side than Mr. F. W. Kohler in his ward. He butted in against a proposition he probably did not understand. Un like others he did not changS his mind when the wind was shifting, but stood his ground, and goodhum- oredly went down. He is a German who came here seven years ago and took charge of the Melrose Knitting Mill, when it was in adverse circum stances; and by his faithful and in telligent service the mill has be come one of the most prosperous in the state. Kohler has earned the gratitude of the stockholders and the good will of the employees.. He has a neat home, tastefully furnished, and is one of those sort of Germans any country might welcome as desir able citizens. He is well and favor ably known all over the city of Ral eigh.'- , '. Being a public spirited citizen he naturally has some little political ambition, and last May was a candi date for alderman in his ward, and but for the Interference of outside of ficial influence would have been elect ed having lost by only two votes. At the next election he fought for the dispensary, chiefly because his former gratuitous opponents had, after hesitation, taken the side of prohibition, but good naturally he accepts defeat. And the south can find no better class of Immigrants than these sturdy, thrifty Germans, who know nothing 'hut to be industrious. A. V. DOCKERY. Johnson County Moonshiners, with Gun at Plant, Nabbed by Olllcers and Brought to Knleigh .Much Good Beer Poured on the Ground Not Able to (iive Bond. Deputy Collector J. 'P. It. Adams and Deputy Marshal A. F. Surlei yesterday lodged in Wake count. jail J. N. .Lee and J. II. Hayes, two men who were caught blockading in Johnston county. The officers swooped down on a still eight miles south of Benson and nabbed the men before they had time to flee. At the plant, which had a capacity of forty gallons a day, was found a shot gun, but this was not used as Mr. Adams beat Lee and Hayes to it. Besides roping in these men the officers destroyed the plant, together with 1,000 gallons of beer. . .All day Saturday Lee and Hayes made efforts to raise bonds of $300 each. They were unsuccessful, how ever, and today are confined in Wake county Jail to await trial on the charge of blockading. : On Saturday Officers Adams and Surles made another successful raid and destroyed another large still. This was three miles south of Ben son, in Johnston county, and had a capacity of forty gallons.! Two hun dred gallons of beer was destroyed. The blockader escaped. Thaw's Case is Complete; Trial Set for Monday. (Continued from First Page.) will be one of the strongest points in t '-cumulative evidence tending to show that : Thaw was out of his mind on the night of the tragedy... This witness is John J. Donnelly, of WUkcsbarre, Pa, The defense law yers in carefully going over the names of the audience, so far as they could learn of them, who were on the Madi son Siiuaie when Thaw killed White, ran across' Donnelly and investigation showed that while he, had been over looked at the first trial, nevertheless lie had a closer observation of Thaw just before the shooting than anyone else on the roof of the theatre. For the first-time.. It. will be disclosed by this witness exactly what was Thaw's facial expression, what his actions as he ' strode onward to send, White to his. death.

New York, Dec. 30- Startling de velopments today in the New Jersey swamp mystery show that the beau tiful victim whoso nude body was found in '-slimy -waters at Harrison had been struck twice on the hack of the head with some heavy instru ment, cinders thrust into her mouth to gag her and then hurled faco- downward, while alive, into the stag nant pool to drown. These Tacts were revealed by a be lated autopsy which has given the slayer four day's start of the police. I hat the girl died struggling was shown by her clinched teeth. The first blow probably rendered her un conscious, but she revived, renewed her struggle for life and tried to make an outcry. It was then that cinders were forced Into her mouth and she was again struck on the back of the head, leaving her un conscious and helpless. After her clothing was stripped from her she was ruthlessly thrown Into the pool. Unconscious as she was she did not have a -chance Tor life. The cold wa ter may have revived her long enough to give a Tew gasps and to inhale the foul water and mud, which were Tound in the lungs. Then she died from suffocation. With the mystery as to the cause of the girl's death cleared at this late hour, the police of Harrison, now cer tain that murder has been done, have something to work upon and to day expect to make another arrest. Arthur Thompson and Frederick Klrkman, the two boatmen who lived on the yacht Idle Hour, a Tew hun dred yards from where the girl's body was Tound, are closely confined In the Harrison Jail. It Is likely that a reward for the arrest of the slayer will be offered today. A man who said he wag from Jer sey City, but refused to give his name, looked at the body in the morgue early today and swooned. Miss Pauline Newman. e,V.

Durham, Dec. 30 A young man by tho name of HIgsbee, 15 years of ago, son of George Rlgsbee, a farmer, accidentally shot himself in the east ern part of this county, near the Granville county line, Saturday night. The loud passed through his left arm and entered the side of his head and face, making wounds that are seri ous. It is feared by physicians that the wounds will prove fatal. The young man Is now In Durham. The first news of the accident came here when a physician In that sec tion, Dr. Ward, wired Dr. Joe Gra ham to hurry to him to assist In an emergency case. Dr. Graham hurried there and then came back with the wounded boy following. The left arm will probably have to be ampu tated If young Rlgsbee lives from the wounds in his head. He was hunting with several small boys, and neither of these witnessed the accident. As Rlgsbee Is unconscious a true story of the affair cannot be secured at this tluio. (Bv Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, D. C, Dec. 30. John G, Capyrs, tho brilliant.' young republican politician of South' Caro lina, has not yet been confirmed by the Senate to be .commissioner of iiir ternal revenue, which office he has been holding for some months under a recess, appointment, and whose name was sent to the senate before tho holidays. There is much specu lation over the matter among Caro linians, here especially. "Who is behind the block that stopped him in the Senate?" Is being asked. It is explained as a mistake but; such things do not occur often. There is more to it. . Mr. Capers, a son of Bishop Ca pers, of South Carolina, is a very bright, affable, you ng lawyer. He was district attorney in the Palmet to state for a term, but Roosevelt cut off his official head for cause. Immediately after that Capers came to Washington to practice law. What happened then is interesting. The office of commissioner of internal revenue was ready for a man who could and .would take it for about three mouths, . Capers, being a man of special I raining and peculiar .fit ness for t.'-,e place, was taken up by Cortelyou or some one else not the president and Capers has been a big man ever since. People In North and South Carolina heard more of him than they did of the president. Here he has talked much and made many friends, but be went so far as to speak ill of Mr. Taft and to criti cise the administration.-': Now comes the hold-up,' which may prove an ac cident, but, on its face, it is signifi cant. It is known here : that Mr. Wright, of Louisiana, to whom the place wa3 offered, will arrive soon to claim It. There is sonio mystery, about the author of the hold-up no ono seems to know who did It. If the south and the west nre for Taft, lie stands a good show to be the next republican candidate. The south and the west are for Roose velt: congressmen here from the west say that, the rank and file of tho party worship tho president, and will bo for his man. a? Special Offer!
