Mr. Barnabee for years was a well known "fan" In Boston. The withdrawal of Arthur H. Fodon. who lias boon connected with National League baseball for thirty years, was cause for regret. He has been closely Identified with the government of the sport since the league was organized In 1876, and has never missed an annual meeting. Ho was one of the bitterest opponents to any form :>f gambling 1 at baseball games years ago, and has lived to see the game entirely divorced from betiiug. At the evening- bbsbloii President Pulliam read his annual report, and Bald that financially the last year was the best that the National League had ever had. The following resolution was then offered by Charles H. Ebbets, of Brooklyn, and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That it is the unanimous vote of this league that President Pulllam be most heartily commended for his untiring efforts In enforcing proper discipline upon the National League ball fleld during the year 1906.

Mr Dreyfuss ;i!sa annooni M that Clark would bo the manage r ol the Plttsburg club next sea son.

Ixmisvllle. Dec 11.— The National Pure Food Commission has received from lbs whiskey rec tifiers a substitute for tho tentative standards of whiskey which it has advanced. The eubatitutes stato: "Whiskey*" is the alcoholic distillate from fer meDted grain. "Straight whiskey" Is that which has been aged, matured or refined In wood. "Blended whiskey" Is a compound of whiskey of different ages, or is a mixture of whiskey with neutral spirits, to which harmless coloring or harmless flavoring may be added. Colonel Thompson, who spoke for the straight whiskey interests, engaged the attention of the commissioners and tho audience from the p»art. Ho said, in part: People who drank the oldtlme whiskey dM not have stomach disorders us they have now from drinking rectified whiskey. An old whiskey is better than a new. The older it is the better and more wholesome It is. > Before the introduc tion of whiskeys made from high wines or recti fied cologne spirits with oils and flavoring ex tracts a man never had the "Jimjams." He never drank to excess. His wife allowed him to 'stay at home. One drink did not create a thirst for another. The average man did not gat drunk. PHILIP Man Convicted of Extorting $2,700 to Call Off Strike Appeals — Decision Reserved. The appeal of Philip Welnseimer from the Judg ment of the Court of General Sessions, convicting him on November IS. 19Oi. of having extorted $2,700 from George J. Essig, a contractor, was argued before the Appellate Division yesterday afternoon. The defendant was sentenced to state's prison for not less than* one year and eight mouths nor more than two years and eight mouths, but had since been out on bull, and was present as a spectator during the argument. Decision was reserved. According to the testimony in the case Esstg had a SIMM contract to build tin apartment house at ~2d street and Riverside Drive, tho erection of which was being delayed by a strike of a plumbers' union. Wetnseimer was charged with trying to extort from Easig 13.0U0 and of actually extorting &70V. to have the strike called off. Mann Trice, counsel for the defendant, made h!a argument yesterday almost entirely on the law, and did not attack the testimony brought forth at the original trial. He said that it had not been proved thai Weinseimer had anything to do with calling the strike off or that he could have prevented the re sumption of work, and that merely an attempt to "beguile" ENrig oat of money was not a crim<j- Robert G. Taylor, Assistant District Attorney, argued that from the facts la the case felonious Intent was clearly proved. He deplored the fact that in the original trial It had not been clearly proved that Essig had believed Weinselmer coud make good his threat to "prevent the resumption of work, and that Essig had not been questioned more specifically on this point. But he maintained that would have been brought forth at the original trial. Automobiles. We have Imported and ready for immediate delivery One S3 h. p. Limousine $7 500 One 32 h. p.
