SOX TOFRISGO.
President Comiskey Has His
Spring Trip Planned.
Will Take Thirty Players in
March to California.
IN A SPECIAL TRAIN.
Will Stay a Month In the Coast
Cities.
Side Trip to Seattle and Port
land to Be Taken.
Chicago, Jasa. 2. When the White Sox
"Went to California last February In
their own speoial train they set a prece
dent for high flass travel among base
bull teams. Bfcit next March they are
going to elaborate on that famous trip.
Negotiations are under way and It
looks certain that a duplicate of the
Overland Limited will be chartered for
the trip. A whcfle month Is, going to be
spent In California, and the members of
the Sox team may, before returning
east, visit Porttemd and Seattle. Those
cities have offered President Comiskey
some rich guara ntees to bring his team
into the north wsst, but he has not de
cided on that detail.
A year ago th Sox went straight to
Los Angeles in their special train. A
switch In arrangements will be made
this tlmve, and the former champs of the
wo'ld will hike straight for Frisco,
starting from here about March 1.
A year ago the' Sox spent most of
their time in southern California, their
real headquarters being Los Angeles.
That arra ogements " didn't please the
Frisco fans, who saw too much of the
second team when they wanted to see
the stars In action. This time the first
squad will give the Frisco fans all the
parries they want, and in fact all of
California wall have plenty of oppor
tunity to see the first team, as during
the thirty days to be spent there the
whole state wall be covered thoroughly.
There will be plenty of time left over
for a trip to Portland and Seattle, but
Comiskey Isn't quite certain at this
time whether he wants to send his team
up there.
The customary southern Junket will
be omitted from the Sox programme
next spring. A few dates may be played
in Texas, but that old journey up the
Mississippi valley will not be made. In
all probability games will be played in
Fan Antonio, Fort Worth, Houston and
Dallas, but from Texas the sox will hop
north fast and acclimate themselves
with half a dozen games north of the
Ohio river.
It Is figured to send one section of the
team home through the middle west
and stops probably will be made at Salt
Lake City, Denver. Omaha, Des Moines
and other cities.
The league season will open April 14.
It is the Cubs' turn to open In Chicago
and for the Sox to play their champion
ship series "on the road."
Thirty players will be taken on the
trip. .AH of the men on last year's team
and several new ones will be taken for
a try-out. Last year Comiskey regret

IS EAGER TO BE SCED.
Ban Johnson Offers to Help Secretary
Thomas by Paying the Costs.
Chicago, Jan. 2. B. B. Johnson,
who, as a member of the national
commission, dug up most of the evi
dence in the ticket scalping case, said
he was afraid that Secretary Thomas
of the Cubs wouldn't bring suit against
him, as Thomas had threatened to do.
"I'll send Thomas my check to help
get the suit started," said Johnson.
"And I will promise him that, once
started, I will prevent the suit being
dropped. It will go through to a
finish. And when it's over the fans
will know who received the tickets."
Mr. Thomas, who claims that he is
being made the goat in the row over
the seat sale for the last world's 6eries,
is undecided whether to begin the
damage suit against Johnson. His at
torney had advised him to go slowly in
the matter. Thomas Is not quite cer
tain Just at present whether he has
grounds for a suit.
Nothing more damaging than angry
words resulted In the talk about going
to law. Thomas assistant. Ticket
Seller Cooke, thought he might cut in,
too, with a lawsuit. He says he may
sue Johnson for defamation of char
acter. He has sought legal advice
and, according to his story, is likely to
start action against the president of
the American league at any time.

Death of A. H. Case Noticed Abroad.
The following is from the Maui
News of Honolulu:
A. H. Case of Topeka, Kan., father
of D. H. Case, died Monday, December
7, 1908, in his eightieth year. He was
a practicing attorney of Kansas at the
time when Kansas was only a territory.
He passed through the free soil and
pro-slavery excitement preceding the
admission of Kansas to statehood, that
historic period which gave prominence
to that noted leader and American
character, John Brown of Osawatomie.
When Quantrell, the noted southern
guerilla, invaded Lawrence, burning
the town and killing hundreds of de
fenseless citizens, Mr. Case was among
the armed northern men who respond
ed to the call for help from Lawrence,
and entered the smoking ruins of the
wrecked town shortly after the gueril
las had left and while yet the bodies
of the slaughtered victims lay In the
streets.

Hutchinson, Kan., Jan. 2. William
W. Weston, the man who beat a local
bank two years or so ago, through
cashing a bad check, has been caught
in Los Angeles for swindling and will
likely have to stand trial, with a good
chance of conviction.
Weston is the man who claimed to
be a Methodist preacher and was con
ducting a big revival In a Methodist
church in Oklahoma when arrested for
the crime committed here. He had all
the tools a forger should need in his
possession when caught. He was put
in Jail here and told a wandering story
of his past career, claiming to have
been a dope fiend for a part of his life.
Tim Casey, then living here, and
Rev. W. K. Biederwolf, the revivalist
who was conducting a series of reviv
als in Hutchinson at that time, both
become interested In Weston or West
wood, as he gave his name. They suc
ceeded in getting the man out of Jail
and his case dismissed, because he said
he was a preacher and because he had
the finest line of talk you ever heard.
when he needed to use it.
He is said to have gone from the 'Jail
here to a city farther east and started
up a revival business again, being quite
successful in a Missouri city. Then he
drifted out to the coast.
It was in San Francisco where Wes
ton did his work this time. He step
ped into a bank there and asked if a
check on a bank in LeMars. Iowa,
would be honored without identification
if the Iowa bank should wire to do so.
Being assured it would be all right he
soon had a boy, purporting to be a
regular telegraph boy, appear with the
proper telegram for the bank people.
He got the money and it was so easy
that he started for Los Angeles to have
a good time. But he was soon caught.
Now he is in Jail awaiting trial and the
bankers of the country will see that
he gets what is coming to him.

not answer, but shook his head.
He then went to the mirror and
combed his hair as usual and his wife
seeing his face was very pale, again
asked him if he had gotten hurt, and
he again shook his head.
He then sat down in a rocker and
from that time up to this afternoon

His physician says he will suffer no
other results from the stroke, but it
is feared he will not recover his
speech. He is 75 years of age.

RED CROSS CALL
Meeting Will Be Held Monday to Con
eider Relief Measures.
While all America is doing what it
can to relieve the distress of the suffer
ing Italians. Kansas is not going to be
In the background, calmly looking on
and seeing the other states of the union
heroically putting forth every effort to
help those poor people. That is not
Kansas style.
The American battleships, originally
intended and constructed as peace pro
ducing agents for the entire world, are
now about to demonstrate that purpose
in an unlooked for manner, by going
into the midst of the stricken district
and working effectively to restore the
courage of those people whose homes
and whose hopes have been destroyed
In that fearful calamity.
Now is the time for Kansas, which
has never had and never expects to
have an earthquake greater than a
powaer explosion or a fanatic's speech, ,
to show their sympathy and good will
by making liberal contributions.
The Red Cross in Kansas has been
organized for the express purpose of be
ing of service In Just such emergencies
as this. It is composed entirely of re
liable, trustworthy, philanthropic peo.
pie all over the state of Kansas, with
Governor E. W. Hoch at Its head, to
whom contributions may be confidently
sent, with the full knowledge that all
contributions will reach the source for
which they were Intended. The con
tributions sent to the San Francisco
sufferers are proof of that and speaks
well of the liberality of Kansas people
Contributions from Kansas will be sent
directly to the American National Red
Cross at Washington, and from there
transmitted with the contributions of
other states as long as such aid shall be
needed. A remittance of $50,000 has al
ready been sent forward from the na
tional treasury, and more will be sent
as needed as fast as it is collected.
Red Cross receipts will be sent to all
contributors, signed by the state secre
tary, Mrs. B. B. Smyth of Topeka.
These receipts are a badge of honor and
something of which the holder will be
proud in after years. j
A meeting of the Kansas branch of
the American Red Cross Is hereby
called to convene at the office of Gov
ernor Hoch on Monday afternoon, Jan
uary 4, at two o'clock, for the purpose
of taking such action as will best sub
serve these ends. The needs . of the
Italians are Imperative. Shall we listen
to their appeals for help In the depths
of their distress, or shall we turn a deaf
ear, draw our garments tightly around
us, and grasp a tight hold on our purse
strings? B. B. 8.
