Short in Accounts.
A dispatch from New York last night
says: The whereabouts of John T. Hay den,
the missing secretary-treasurer of the New
York branch of Swift & Co., remained a
mystery today and tonight. Hayden dis
appeared last Tuesday, after he had turned
his books over to John Chaplin, an auditor
In the Chicago offices of Swift & Co.. who
had come east to make one of his periodical
Inspections of the firm's accounts. Mr.
Chaplin had gone but little way In his work
when he discovered that the accounts were
short several thousands of dollars. A war
rant has been sworn out for Hayden and
detectives are looking for him. The war
rant w as Issued on a complaint, formed on
the accusation that Hayden had appro
priated $10,000 which he obtained by one
check drawn on the company's account.
Mr. Chaplin, when seen at his hotel to
night. said: "The amount of the embezzle
ment is between fifteen and twenty thou
sand dollars. It will not exceed the latter
figure, although we have not completed our
Investigations. It will probably take all
of this week to get things straightened out.
The thefts have been going on since the 1st
of August.
"We have no clue as to the whereabouts
of Hayden. How he came to take the
money I do not know, though I have heard
since coming here last week that he was In
the habit of betting on the races. I can't
say. however, that this Is true.
"Hayden had authority as treasurer to
sign all checks that were drawn In the
name of the firm. He drew checks on the
various banks here in which the corporation
had deposits, and then took these checks
and deposited them In his own bank to his
own account. When he wanted money he
drew against the checks which he had de
posited to his own account. He was re
ceiving a large salary.
"Hayden was under bond, and the com
pany will not lose a dollar."

Saturday's double-header at American
League Park between the Washington and
Detroit clubs proved unusually interesting,
drawing fully 4.000 spectators. The ilrst
game went to the Senators by the score of
5 to 1, while the second was captured by
the Detrolts, 2 to 0.
Mercer did the twirling in the first game,
and if ever one man won a contest single
handed this clever pitcher did. His work
In the box was of the gilt-edged order, but
while the Senators were at the bat "Win"
put in his best licks. He was continually
in the coacher's box urging on the Wash
ington players, and as a result he kept
them on their tiptoes, the batting, base
running and fielding being all that could
be asked for. Big Sam Dungan has been
a little remiss in the way of base hits of
late, but under the prodding of Mercer he
lambasted the ball Saturday in the most
telling manner, four timely singles being
placed to his credit. Captain Clarke was
also close up in the hitting line, his single,
double and home run being unusually
timely. In the field the Senators went
about their work with a cleverness and
skill that proved disheartening to the
Tigers. No matter where the ball was hit
the lnfielders gobbled it up with precision
and dispatch, and Mercer can be con
gratulated on the way the men played back
of him.
Sievers was on the rubber for Detroit,
and in addition to being hit hard his sup
port was somewhat ragged, Qleason, at
second, falling down on two apparently
easy chances.
In the second game Patten and Miller
were the opposing twirlers, and the battle
between them was of the royal order.
With perfect support given Patten the
game would have been called ofT on ac
count of darkness, with neither side scor
ing, but the Senators went back In their
fielding, and as a result the Tigers won out
by 2 to 0. Each team made but four safe
hits, which clearly demonstrates how ef
fective the pitchers were, but while the
Detrolts played perfect ball this time Jor
dan slipped into two errors and Jack Far
rell and Clingman each had a misplay
marked against him. Sam Dungan con
tinued his good stick work, getting two of
the four hits made by the Washington
team, while Elberfeld did the same for the
Tigers.
In the first game Washington was the
first to break the ice, getting a run in the
first inning, after two were out on consecu
tive hitting by Grady, Clarke and Dungan.
In the third, two more runs went up on the
Senators' side. After Grady had gone out
on a fly, Gleason fumbled Clarke's ground
er. Dungan and Jordan followed with sin
gles and Coughlin beat out a slow infield
hit, Clarke scoring. Billy Clingman then
hit a nice single Into right and Dungan
crossed the plate.
In the fifth, Detroit got Its first and only
run. With one out, Nance doubled to left
and Dillon placed a single In the same
territory. Shaw followed with a long fly to
Waldron and Nance scored on the out.
Clar.:e's home run drive in the sixth
placed the total of the Senators' runs at
four, and in the eighth, Grady's free pass,
an out and Dungan's timely single scored
Washington's last run.
In the second game there was nothing
doing in the run-getting line for three in
nings, but in the fourth Detroit chased one
tally over the plate. Holmes beat out a
slow roller over second and went to sec
ond on Casey's intended sacrifice, Jordan
dropping Patten's good throw. Gleason
moved both runners up on a sacrifice,
pitcher to first. Elberfeld then hit a short
roller near the plate which he thought was
foul and didn't run. Clarke gathered in
the ball and retired him at first. Jordan
handled the ball a short while, and then
threw badly to Clarke at the home plate.
Holmes scoring.
In the ninth Inning Detrolts* last lun
was scored, an error by Clingman and Far
rell and an out to center field letting Ca
sey over the plate.
Washington made several good efforts to
get runners around the bases, but Miller
was the stumbling block, and when a hit
was necessary to score a run. It could not
be made.
Umpire Haskell had another good day,
his decisions being impartial and for the
most part correct. Scores:

winning stride Saturday at horns, when
both games of the double-header with Mil
waukee were placed to their credit, the
first by the score of 8 to 6 and the second
6 to 4. Both teams fielded sensationally
in the first contest and the batting of the
Quakers won the game. In the second con

fielding, while the Brewers went to pieces,
five mlsplays being charged against them.

of the last lap of the race.
The final of the ten-mile championship
was one of the beet races of the week.
Iver Lawson of Buffalo won and Is now a
close follower of Major Taylor In the cham
pionship column, in which Kramer main
tains a good lead. The sprint for home
was started with a lap to go with Kramer,
Lawson and Taylor leading the bunch.
Turning Into the straight Kramer had a
slight lead, followed by Taylor and Law
son on the outside. Lawson came at a ter
rific pace and gradually pulled in ahead of
Kramer and Taylor. A blanket would have
covered the three as they crossed the tape
with Lawson leading by a half wheel.
Kramer had the same advantage over Tay
lor. The two special prizes for leading at
five miles and leading the greatest number
of laps were won by Fenn.
The last race of the afternoon was the
one-mile handicap professional. The long
markers in the race set out a fast clip, too
fast for the scratch men as Kramer was
the only man to get within hailing dis
tance of the field In front. Newhouse took
the lead on the last lap and was never
headed, though Bowler of Chicago gave him
a close fight. Kramer came up on the out
side with a great sprint and nipped third
place from Fisher.

DOES NOT FRIGHTEN THE BOERS.
Mr. Krugtr Discusses Effect of Kitch
ener's Latent Proclamation.
The Freedman's Journal of Dublin, Ire
land, publishes an interview between Mr.
Kruger and William Redmond in Hilver
sum, Holland, in the course of which the
former president of the South African re
public, expressing gratitude for Irish sup- |
port, said he regarded the Irish as "broth
ers in opresslon," and urged the nationalist
members of the British parliament to con
tinue their "efforts In the cause of Justice
and truth."
When asked concerning the effect of Lord
Kitchener's recent proclamation and of Mr.
j Chamberlain's speeches, Mr. Kruger re
plied: "My people are not to be frightened
by such proclamations or speeches, which
will only encourage them to continue fight
ing.
"The British have used armed natives
against the burghers from the beginning,
but we have not used armed Kaffirs. It
has always been against our principles to
use the black men against the white."
Mr. Kruger emphatically denied the ex
istence of a Dutch conspiracy against Brit
ish influence in South Africa.
When asked regarding Great Britain s
promises as to treatment of the Boers af- !
ter surrender, he said: "I know Great |
Britain's promises. You In Ireland ought
also to know them. The British promise
to lend us money to put things right. Then
if it were not repaid our land would be
taken. They ask us to allow a rope to
be put around our necks and to call that
freedom- We should be slaves."
After expressing his firm conviction that
God, In good time, would give the Boers de
liverance, he remarked: "Even now we i
could rebuild our country, but to do so we
must have full independence."
He emphasised the word "full. When
asked about farm burning and the concen- j
tration campe, he exclaimed: "Why do
they flght women and children? There are
our own men to flght against. I do not be
lieve the British people know what Is being
done In their name. If they did know they
would stop it."
Mr. Kruger said nothing had been defi
nitely settled on the subject of a visit to
the United States. According to Mr Red
mond, his appearar.ee belies the report that
he is breaking down, either mentally or
physically. _
