^resident W. Abbott Witman. of th-i !

??er? talking u\er matters w?h ine
owi?ere oi me Richmond lrauchise in

in? oitiet, of bocretary Mormn R. '
ii..l? Which lasted for several houra.
All of ine bids for tne plant at Lee

?> tual award of the contract has been
i. itponed until Monday, tins action
?III bc largely perfunctory, for the
r ?- .ii that the successful bidder Is
Known;
President VVItman Is the superlative
degree of optimism. Tiuil he has
a . uindlng faith In his league no oni
who ulih with him for as long as live
minutes can doubt. He Iu-ih Just com- I
pleted a irip over the circuit, and has
1 ind everything In gocd shape. One
or two ?f the manager.- have started
training already. Harry Stelhfelt,
manager of the Cincinnati ciub. has a ,
7i imbcr of his men at West Baden
jw :king them out, while Jack O'Cdh- '
m>r, wiio 1? to manage the Cleveland '
club, will leave for the South Monday.
"They say (meaning, of course, the)
enemy)," said President Wltman. talk?
ing over the table while Handling a
hearty meal, ??that there Isn't a chance
'. r our league to latt. They also say '
that we will never play ball. How?
ever. tlvjy1 have established a war fund
with which to tight an organization
of which they have so low an esti?
mate. It strikes mo that such meth
i Is contradict the published state?
ments which hav0 appeared In several
of the papers prejudiced against us.
These statements, which, by the way. i
may always be seen in such publica- i
t'.on.? as are mors or less controlled i
the big league, are probably the i
result of the 'war fund.'

realize that we have me aosoluto

he hudn't believed that Richmond was j
a great town he erilalnly would noli
have selected tola city as his rewuro '
lor the work ho did In organizing tha '
league.
Thinks Well of Loudgraf.
".Speaking of that fellow Landgraf, I
want 10 say that he Is one ol the
siiuaresi, gameal, cleanest and most
hustling man 1 h-v-- ever known in '
baseball. He never knows when he 's
licKi.d, Will flglit .'or a game of ball
lrom the tlrsi li.n:ns to the last, and
is a great juuge- or ball players. Hu
might not give Richmond a pennant ,
winner, but he will be so close to tno !
top that the fans will know he is in
the race.
"I have absolutely no objection to |
tho published glories about the league. )
because 1 know the calibre of men 1
air, dealing with. In each of the clues 1
the francnlse Is controlled by sub
Btanilal business men, not phllanthiop
Ists. They know what tuey are go?
ing against and they believe they have
a winning proposition. Every where,
on all sides, we aie receiving from the
fan?the fellow Who pays?assurances
that we will be welcome. Though I
have said it a hundred limes 1 want
to repeat that we are noi going to
encroach on anybody's preserves. We
are simply going tu offer baseball for
the public. If the public likes our
wares the public will buy. If the pub?
lic does not like what we offer then
the public will not buy. Wo aro go?
ing to respect everybody's contract,
und wo win demand thai our contracts
be protected and respected.
"If It Is a crtniif for business men
to etiler Into a legitimate business,
risking their dol!;-.is and their time In
the hope and belief that tho venture
will bo a success, then the United
Stales l>!Ugue- Is guilty of a crime. AS o
do not, however, believe that the pub?
lic feels this way about It. We 'lo
not concedo that any body of men has
a God-given right to say to any othei
body of men thai you can't engage 'n
this business because we were in It
Br?t. We believe that such a prin?
ciple la against true democracy and
against that spirit of competition
which is tile very warp and woof of
our commercial Inslltul'ons. It is
wrong economically; it is wrong
morally. That is the belief of tho
I men who compos,, the United Stales
League.
"We arc willing to lot the public
be the final Judge. The only thing in
which wc can be wrong is our faith in
the fair-m'ndedness of the public. We
might be wrong In our business Judg?
ment, but most of us have made suc?
cesses in our other businesses, and we
are willing to take u chnnee. Finally,
we are going to give big league base?
ball at moderate prices, and this, wo
think, will fill a longfelt want and n
public demand. 1 want to thank all
of the people ot Richmond for the
kindness they have shown our organi?
zation and to tell them that we will
try to show our nppreclntlon by giving
them good baseball."
E. C. Landgraf, the nctlve man In

GET PROTECTION
Deal in Baseball Amounting
Almost to Revolution Said to
Be Under Way.
(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.1
Cincinnati. O.. March L?According to
storlts carried by afternoon papers here to?
day a new deal la baseball, almost a base?
ball revolution, :s under way, and within
the next few days. It :s raid, that trie far.a
uiouiid the great circuits will possibly be
electrified by :ui] dljc.osurcs of the details,
and those details may mean tne moat re?
markable alteration of existing cond.lions
since lbs American League cut loose eleven
years ago.
The aeal may result In the new Columbian
and possibly the United states Leagues
coming under the protection oi the uatiunal
agrei meat. The story, which Is guld to be
seimoitlclal, states that Chairman August
Herr ma no, of the .National Baseball Com?
mission, would reseat the matter to mat
body lor oitlclai consideration. It follows
In part:
"A new deal In baseball, whereby the men
?who have been trying to break into tho
baseball lin.ei.ghi. will come in aa auxlll
arlea'und warm friends of the old1 magnates.
!.? under way and under fair dlucussiou. The
angles: are:
"Utilization of the ball paries in the one
club ca.os of thi major leagues for the
younger league games during the absence
of the senior teams.
"Acceptance of a club on tho north side of
Cbleago, balanced by the withdrawal of the
Junior league from St. Louis.
"The new league to have a chance at the
extra players who are now turned back by
the major.-, mnny of them practicably un?
tried tor lack of proper opportunity.
"The new league- to be run end managed
wholly by its own promoters, thus avoiding
the idea of ?syndicate baseball,' as would
be the case If the older leagues went father
than the leasing of parks and advancing ot
protection."

Bring Out Big Political
Battle.
Washington, March I.?It Is almost
certain tlint before the on<l of tho
present week Congress will see one
of the most Interesting political lights
pulled off In many u day, and Con?
gressman John Lamb, of Virginia, will
be chief rlngmustcr and timekeeper.
The tight Is coining with the agricul?

lending bet?re the House, and Is re?

sidetracked to give way to certain

j Storm warnings are displayed, and j
I clouds huvo been gathering around |
Secretary Wilson und tho department
for months. Many members of the
j House who do not like the way things
I In the bin department huve been run
I hing have been patiently biding
their time until the ngricuiuural up- j
I propriatlun bill should be reached to ;
give vet,, to their feelings. Under
this procedure, when a man is given
a certain limit ot time he Is at liberty
to discuss ulmout unything he liken,
und as the udminlairuilon of Secre?
tary Wilson's department is Btrlctly In !
keeping with tno bill It will be almost
impossible to cut off speakers becauso
of unparliamentary prucedunl or any- |
thing like that.
Captain Batnb, when asked to-day
whut range the coming storm prob?
ably wouiei take, candidly said that ho
did not know; that there wero many
members who wished to speak, and ho
had no ideu whut they would ea.y or
j w Ithin wnut limits they would confine
their remarks.
There ure certain members who want
I light as to why President Taft has
never done that house-cleaning which
it has teen was needed when Dr. Wiley
wus figuring in the limelight recently. :
As yet. however, ho bus dune nothing,
and on tho heels of this comes the I
Florida evernlades scandal und a

But moro than all, there are some
who ere Impatiently waiting for an

I They say he Is the man they are after,
I and that much of tho present discon?
tent and disorganization In the forces
of the department are due to him, und
to the fact that he has Secretary Wil?

Ono thing is certain, when Captain

rested to-day on the charge of mur?
dering Hartwell Anderson, a young
married man, who was shot In .Mrs.
[ Barnes's bedroom at her home. 1114
I.Twenly-flrst Street. Monday afternoon.
I Two hours after the arrest, a coroner's
jury was cmpannclled. and after hear?
ing tho evidence of the attending phy?
sicians and Chief of Police Mitchell
and Detective Pearson, returned a ver?
dict to the effect that Anderson came
to his death from a pistol shot wound,
und that the Jury believed the pistol
was In the hands of Mrs. Barnes.
Anderson wus shot near the. right
temple, the ball entering the head
und splitting In two, ono-half going
lnt6 his brain, und the other half Im?
bedding in his skull. He never re?
gained consciousness, and died at mid
li ght lust night.
It wus not until thirty-six hours
after the shooting that the police be?
gan an investigation, tho Barnes wo?
man telling thein ut tho stnrt that An?
derson nad come to her house drunk,
borrowed a pistol and gone to the bed?
room and shot himself. She still sticks
to the story..
Jealousy is tho motive which the
police ascribe, they claiming that An?
derson was friendly with another wo?
man, and that Mrs. Barnes was Jealous
of the other woman. Tho dead man
leaves a widow and live little children.

of Washington is going to witness
some rattling races to-morrow night
goes without saying. The entries
prove this. It will bo tho final ap?
pearance of college track stars In'

Stockholm, and many of the runners!
who will bo seen in apc?on here aroj
likely to bo chosen on the American"
team.
Actlvo training for tho athletes |s t
at an end. Prom Virginia comes the1
report that "Pop'" Lannigan. the vet- I
eran trainer, has picked hin relay'
team, but the make-up has been with- ;
held, tho "Old Fox" waiting to aco 1
the handicaps before making tho names
public. He Is puzzled for the iirst
time In his i,fe. being In doubt vvheth- i
er it would be wiser to mnko a bid '
for the point trophy, or, as he culls
;it, "cinch" the relay raco agalusti
! Georgetown.
I This - due to tho fact thet there
1 Is no much cinss in the mile and half-1
I milo runs, in which are entered tho
pick of runners from Carlisle. Prince?
ton. Yale, Hopkins and Cornell, the'
latter being represented by John Paul
Jones, the Washington boy and world
famed athlete. Lannigan is anxious to
send Cooke, the star hulf-miler. In
tho two longer races, but if ho does
this he will have to abandon the Idea,
of running him on tho relay teirti,
which will be greatly weakened by ilia
absence.
Lannlgnn Is auro Virginia will win
with Cooke us a member of the relay
team, but Georgetown thinks other
I wlaoi It has been six years slnco tho
? Blue and Gray has triumphed over an
Orange and Blue four, and George
I town's supporters arc looking for the
upset to occur Saturday night. It Is
I said that Captain Todd and Quy are
? suro of places on tho relay, the other
two men to be chosen from Cooke,
Tbole, Briggs, File and Hawklrs, ac?
cording to the handicaps received Iii
other events In which they are en?
tered. .
College events will not make up the
entire program. There will be relay
races for clubs and schools, besides
scholastic races from the RO-yard up
to the quarter-mile. School and club
athletes are eligible to compete In the
open handicap events. Manager Kings
ley has also added to the list a 50
and a 600-ynrd novice.
One of tho most exciting events on
the card will undoubtedly result 'n
the 50-yard invitation hurdles. Ktghl
runners have been nominated for this
classic. They are Idler, the greatest
hurdler In the South to day, who will
wear Hluo and Gray of Georgetown i
Thorpe, the pride of Curllsle; Horrax,
the Johns Hopkins stnr; MeDonough,
South Atlantic outdoor champion:
Platt, Yale's Intercolleg'ate represen?
tative; Ward, Virginia's mainstay; Gol?
den. Georgetown's coming youngster,
and Bacon, of the Fifth Regiment of
Baltimore. It Is the classiest tlcld that
has ever started In a hurdle race 'n
this city, and a new Indoor record for
60 yards may be looked for.

Tho condition of J. W. Gregory, who

An effort to get a reconsideration
of tho vinegar bill, which was de?

point of ordor. Although it was stated
that this measure was backed by what
Is known as the ''cidor lobby." It was
heartily IndorBCd by Deputy State Food
Commissioner B. B. Purcell. The analy?
sis was made by Dr. Harvey W. Wiley,

people who have been constant visitors,

kept from the doors and repaired to

constant appeals from thoso Interest?

j light to-day when the plaintiff upon order
of the Supreme Court tiled u bond for costa.

Mr. Ilyan. The suit grew out of the Inves?
tigation conducted In this city In March.
1W>, Into the conduct ?? erstwhile District

ply to f;ucstlonn put by Mr. Jeromo gavn
testimony which, In substance, charged
Thomas K. Ryan, who was then In control
of the Metropolitan Railway system, with
bringing about thu nomination of a certain
Supreme Court Justice.
In answer to the charges by Julien, Mr.
Ryan muted later In an Interview that
"there is not the slightest truth In the as?
sertion; none whatever."

so the defendant conveyed the Impression
that Julien had committed perjury while
