Washington, Nov. 22.—Some of the
Cuban generals, who have been assist
ing the Americans in the efforts to dis
arm ami send to their homes the in
surrectionists in the late revolution
ary movement, appear to have digni
fied and legalized the crime of horse
stealing, in the most ingenious man
ner, according to the reports iha
have reached the war department.
When the rebel soldiers surrendered
their arms, they were told that they
might keep their horses until they could
reach their homes. Now these horses
bad been stolen mostly, and the in
dividual soldier was told that he
must return the horse to its owner, if
the latter could show that the animal
was registered according to the Cu
ban law. Bach of the soldiers was
given a certificate describing the horse
and the conditions under which he
might be returned to the real owner.
Two facts made this reclamation
well nigh impossible in most cases.
In the first place only a small propor
tion of the horses In Cuba ware regis
tered, so that, no matter how thor
oughly a farmer could identify his

horse in the possession of one ol' these
1 rebels, he could
net
obiaiu possession
of the animal for lack ol the registra
I tion certificate. In the second place,
ths disbanded rebels before returning
I to their homes, tcoU care to exchanga
horses, so that an animal stolen in
Santiago wculd net be returned to that
province but would find a home in
Pinar del Rio.
This state of a flairs was made worse
according to the report, by the action
of some Cuban generals, actually is
suing certificates in blank to the dis
banded soldiers, so that it was pos
sible fcr them to continue indefinitely
to steal horses, all that was necessary
for them to do being to pick out a
likely horse, make »ure that it was
rot registered, fill
ta the
blank certi­
ficate with the description of the ani
mal and defy the owner to reclaim it.
It is only fair to state that the in
surgent generals deny indignantly that
they have given away any of she blank
certificates, but the fact is stated in
the report that such certificates have
actually been found In the hands of
disbanded soldiers.
ELECTED OFFICERS.
Special The
BwbIbk
Time*.
Devils Lake, N. D„ Nov. 21.—At a
meeting of the directors of the First
National bank of this city, H. E. Baird
was elected president, Howard Whip
ple, vice president, and Felix Routter
was re-elected cashier. The First
National was the first bank establishes
in Ramsey county.
WINTER SPORINEWS
FOR THE
FAN
Fred Clark May be Succeeded
at Pittsburg by Leach as
Manager.
It. septus to lie an accepted fact that
the Highlanders will train at Atlanta
next spring. The New York papers
have announced the fact without any
qualifications, in spite of the fact that
the Atlanta club lias refused to
acknowledge that the deal has been
closed. Griffith trained at Atlanta in
1903 and 1904. and has been wanting
to get back to Piedmont ever since
Cleveland nos?d him out there two
years ago. His opportunity canie last
summer when the Atlanta club found
itself in need of a good pitcher, and
Griffith loaned them Hushes, who
made good in the Southern league and
Kept the Atlanta club in the race.
There is no longer any doubt that the
conditions on which Hughes was
loaned to Atlanta were that the High
landers would be permitted to train
there next spring.
While the presence of the High
landers at Atlanta will compel the
Cleveland club to go farther south
for their preliminary work, it is more
than probable that the Naps will make
arrangements to stop off at Atlanta
for a few days to break the jump
north, and Manager Lejoie thinks that
this can be easily arranged, because
the Highlanders are scheduled to play
in Columbus on April 4, and in order
to do this they will probably leave
Atlanta not later than April 1. As
Cleveland is scheduled to play in Day
ton on April 5, Manager Lajcie can
very easily spend two or three days in
Atlanta enroute to Dayton. The one
best bet is that Atlanta will be glad
to welcome the Naps after three
weeks of the Highlanders. Manager
Griffith has the reputation of being
just as tantalizing in a city where
his team trains as he is on the Ameri
can league circuit during the cham
pionship season, and it is a good bet
that the Atlanta club officials will
have their patience sorely tried by
Griffith's strenuousity during his stay
at Piedmont nest spring.
ii Frank Clarke decides to retire
from the management of the Pitts
burg team nex season, local interest
in The Pirates may be augmented by
the selection oi a Clevelander to fill
Clarke's shoes. Tommy Leach is now
favorably mentioue! as a possible suc
cessor of Clarke, and in this connec
tion the Pittsburg Gazette-Times has
the following to say:
"If Clarke decides to quit baseball,
President Dreyfus will have another
man to lead the Pirates. It is 10 to 1
that he is already selected, and his
name may happen to be Tommy Leach.
The latter made a good record as
manager of the Pirates on the barn
storming trip. He exhibited the ag
gressiveness of a Mugsy McGraw with
out the latter's violent language and
at. times unreasonable actions. Leach
is popular with players and a local
player to the backbone. Now, all this
is guess work, but pretty good guess
work at that. Not a word has been
said about the matter
by
club officials, but tiisy are all prais
ing Leach, and that means some
thing."
When the rules committee meets
this winter they ought to provide
some definite rule for the playing of
double-headers next season. In the
last campaign, especially in the Na
tional league, many double-headers
were played, in which only seven and
some times even five innings of the
last game were gone through. Such
contests are a joke. They are an in
justice to the public, and should be
stopped. Nine innings constitute a
gams according
to
the rules, and if
the days are too short to play eigh
teen innings when double-headers are
scheduled, with the first game begin
ning at 2 o'clock, then every double
header should be started at 1 o'clock.
Five inning games are unsatisfactory
to the fans who pay their money to
see the sport. What would be
thought of a theatrical manager who
deliberately incurred the risk of hav
ing to cut oft the last act of his play
on account of lateness? The Ameri
can league did not offend their pa
trons in this manner, and there were
very few instances during the season
when the first game of a double
header was not started in plenty of
time to permit the playing of the full
nine innings in the second event.
George B. Dovey, the new owner of
the Boston National league club, has
been a ball player and a patron of
the game from his boyhood. For the
last ten years he has been located in
St. Louis and Detroit as one of the
right-hand men of George Kobush, the
millionaire street railway magnate of
Detroit. Mr. Dovey's first connection
in St. Louis was with the St. Louis
Transit company, and later with the
St. Ixiuis Car company. This connec
tion Mr. Dovey has resigned. Mr.
Dovey i.i 45 years old. He was for
several years associated in the rail
road business with the late Albert
Johnson, brother of Mayor Johnson
of Cleveland, and the financial hacker
of the old Brotherhood league In 1890.

Kid Herman Relieves in lloodoo Fig
ure—His Reasons
It takes an optimistic mind to figure
out any luck in tln» hoodoo "13" in the
lace of inunieralM' yarns and stacks
of evidence to the contrary. One must
be mighty cheerful to stick to "13"
and believe the number will bring
luck.
Yet the Ghetto optimist. Kid Her
man, now matched to tight Joe Gans.
chocolate chugger of the champion
candidates, for the title, leans heavily
on ••13." Smilingly he says it will be
that, hoodco, which in his casa is the
greatest mascot in the world, that
will overcome all the 4-11-44 and yel
low-legged chicken fetiches that the
black man and his superstitious fol
lowers can possiidy bring to bear on
the fight January I in Tonopah, Nev.
The following w'ill show a brief
list of Herman's luck "13" fights and
a few facts about them:
June 13, 1900—Bested Jimmy Rit
ter in six rounds.
Oct. 13, 1900—Knocked out Young
Brown in two rounds.
Nov. 13, 1900—Knocked out Jimmy
Cane in four rounds.
Feb. 13.—Knocked out Teddy Evans
in two rounds.
June 13, 1902—Knocked out Haich
Smith (colored) in fourteen rounds in
Omaha, Neb.
March 13, 1903—Won on a foul in
ten rounds from Tommy Mowatt.
Feb. 13,1905—Won in twenty rounds
from Ef.ily Finucane at Hot Springs.
March 13, 1905—Knocked out Dave
Sullivan in nine rounds at Hot
Springs.
In addition, the agreement between
Gans and Herman reads that the
winner is to get $13,000. Herman says
there is no way of getting away from
the combination which is expected to
bring him good luck.

came from Minneapolis last Saturday
to see the Minnesota-Carlisle game

IERRIBLE SUFFERING
Is Endured by the Many Trans
ferred to Far Off Siberia
in Last Years.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 22.—Siberian
journals are full of the horrible suf
fering which the political exiles un
dergo in Tobolsk, Irkutsk, and other
sections of that desolate land. During
the last eleven months, as many as
35,000 people have been sent thither.
About 2,000 have escaped, lint, the rest
remain to endure a living death. They
arc sent, to the marshes where noth
ing grows hut a rank grass, and where
mi trade or craft can enable them to
earn enough to prolong their misera
ble existence.
The Russian government allows
theni exactly 2 1-2 .-cuts a day. The
money sent by their friends rarely
reaches them, being "intercepted" by
the czar's officials. In summer, they
keep body and soul together with fish
caught in the rivers, and coarse rye
bread. In winter fish is worth its
weight in gold and bread unheard of.
Then they eat the grass from the froz
en marshes. Little wonder that scurvy
cholera and typhus rage among them.

This is not the worst, for they are
obliged to live in the mud huts of the

surprising that these exiles, most of
them delicately reared men and wom
en, envy their more fortunate com

political opinions ai.d have thus es
cape.! this certain, but slow, death,
known as "perpetual exile." They
have no hope for anything batter and
eannct even find a solace for their suf
ferings in work—for there is none to
be done in this frozen wilderness.
In spite of the heavy death rate,
their numbers are steadily increasing,
for every week brings out fresh vic
tims. In fact the numbers of polit
ical exiles have increased to such an
extent that the Russian government,
has decided to run daily 'special exile'
trains front St. Petersburg to Siberia.
These trains carry only political pris
oners. who are herded together like
cattle in unwarmed wagons. They
run at. the speed of the so-called "pos
tal" or courier trains.
Rebels Are Not Awed.
And yet, in spie of these terrible
sufferings, men and women in Russia
are bent upon fighting for freedom.
Within the last few weeks, 5,000
pounds of dynamite, 400,000 bullets
and 4,000 rifles ha been found by
the police, secreted in private houses
in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other
large towns. Nevet before have Rus
sian prisons and Siberian marsheB
been so crowded with political pris
oners as at the present time.
SPOILED PET
Of New York Said to be Dodging
Around Canada—A Bigamy
Charge.
New York, Nov. 22.—All the glamor
about Abbott W. Lawrence, millionaire
plunger, clubman and social favorite,
has been dissipated, and he is now al
leged to be a bigamist and wife-beat
er, hiding from the woman he wronged
in some remote corner of Canada.
When Lawrence was married to
Mi3s Georgie R. Payne, in Delmonico's
last February, he cut a swath in Wall
street circles.
Lawrence had come to Nsw York
from New Orleans, where he organ
ized the Fibre company. He posed as
a bachelor, though he had a wife then
living In Walpole. Mass.
Lawrence met Miss Payna at the
Waldorf-Astoria early last winter and
began to pay ardent suit. On the night
of Feb. 22, he- telephoned to the home
of the Rev. Dr. Henry Marsh Warren,
to request him to perform a marriage
ceremony. The clergyman got sever
al prominent New Yorkers who were
attending the banquet to act as wit
nesses. They were Talbot Root, a
Wall street lawyer F. S. Palmer,
Leslie .1. Tompkins, Andrew S. Hamer
sley and Lawrenre Griffith.
When the first wife's attention was
called to the second marriage she re
fused to believe it.
