WEDNESDAY,
MANAGER IEIDY
RETURNS FROM
SCOUTING TRIP
Manager George Leidy, who has been
making a trip trough various sections
of the country since the close of the
season in the’ Texas League, arrived
back in San Antonio this morning. The
trip was made solely for the purpose of
looking over a number of young bait
players in the Class C and D leagues
wok will have to supplant those who
advanced to the higher leagues this
fall and, while a number of the most
promising may be given a trial next
spring wdth the Bronchos, it is yet too
early to make any definite announce
ment.
In speaking of the trip, Leidy said,
•‘While I have looked over many young
ball players since leaving this city, 1
have not as yet signed any and may
not do so until next spring. There are
a number of players who would fit in
nicely here but I have made no ar
rangements as to their purchase.
“In eveqy section of the country
there are leagues containing players
who will advance this year but until I
< ollect my players here for the prelim
inary work for the 1911 campaign, 1
cannot make any definite announce
ment. I will say, though, that the fans
will see a number of fast players here
next season.
“I visited a number of cities in the
big league circuits and all of the teams
are playing great ball. Particularly is this
true of the Cleveland team, which has
a number of players who were formerly
of the San Antonio team. The best of
them all is Hohnhorst. You should see
him in action up there. He has the fans
of that city crazy about his playing.
He is covering all the ground around
the first sack and covering it as well
as any of the first basemen in the
league. But it is with the bat and on
the bases that he shines. He is hitting
at a .450 clip, is running the bases with
the best of them and has all of the
catchers watching him at all times. His
batting has been hard and timely and
he is one of the main factors in the
fine playing of the Naps at the pres
ent time.
“All of the managers and players
who have been in Cleveland since Honn
horst arrived there declares that he will
make* good and should be one of the
best first sackers in the business.
“Then there is Blanding. 1 saw him
pitch against the Athletics, the pennant
winners of the American League this
year and he certainly delivered the
goods. It looks as though he will suck
there from his two performances for
his work was high-class in every res
pect. In his first game he opposed John
son and secured a shut-out but his vic
tory over the Philadelphians was his
best performance for the champions are
playing fast ball. Adams and Knaupp,
two boys from San Antonio, are also
playing well. •
“It is now a certainty that the Phil
adelplua Americans will not train here.
I had a long talk with Connie Mack
and he will not make such a long train
ing trip. At the present time it is un
certain which team will train here but
I think that I will get one of the teams
to bring their players here for their
preliminary work next spring.”

“DIG OP" SAYS
BURLINGTON
TO SHIPPERS
Special Dispatch.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 28.—The shipping
public is expected to contribute an ad
ditional $6,483,960 annually to the Bur
lington route freight revenue for the
next four, five or more years, accord
ing to F. F. Ward, general manager of
the road, who testified before the inter
state commerce commission today fol
lowing closely upon the statement de
clared that the shippers should pay for
the mistakes and blunders of the rail
roads.
The statement created a stir and was
considered the most vigorous defi issued
by the western roads at this hearing
w'here shippers are battling against the
threat of roads to increase freight
tariffs on different commodities.
“Isn’t your road in first class condi
tion?” asked Attorney J. H. Atwood,
representing Kansas City district ship
pers.
“Well, it depends upon how’ many
classes you have for the roads,” said
Mr. Ward.
“Isn’t it a first class service?”
“Yes, but it could be better.”
Attorney Atwood read an advertise
ment which in glowing terms, praised
the character of equipment and service
of the Burlington road.
“Are you in accord with that?” the
attorney'asked after reading the adver
tisement.
“I am not the advertising man, he
replied. “He has exaggerated the excel
lence of our equipment as he has no
wav of knowing what we have to con
tend with. Our service is good, but I
want to make it better.”
Adjournment of the hearing by Inter*
state Commissioner Clark will closely
follow upon the testimony of G. O.
Mav of New York, a public accountant
and who is familiar with the earnings
of railroads of the United States and
Europe.

LAFOLLETTE
MASTER Of
SITUATION
Special Dispatch
Madison, Wis., Sept. 28.—8 y one of
the neatest coups in the history of Wis
consin politics, Senator LaFollette to
day is master of the whole republican
situation in the state with every candi
date on the state ticket pledged to
support him and his policies.
Upon a motion of F. E. McGovern,
candidate for governor, the convention
by a viva voce vote endorsed LaFol
lette for re-election to the senate and
every candidate pledged himself to the
cause. The victory was made complete
when it was voted to allow every can
didate not present to signify his sup
port by letter.
Those who don’t toe the mark will
be signed out for defeat by the LaFol
lette men.
The platform will be adopted today
and the resolutions committee spent
most of the night discussing the va
rious planks. The county option plank
is the one which is giving the most
trouble.
The democratic convention faces a
big split when the members reassembled
today. Their trouble also is the county
option plan. The fifht is the result
of the great showing made in the pri
nfaries by two candidates for gover
nor on county options in platform.

CERTIINLY ENDS'
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Few Doses Make Kidneys Act
Fine, Ending Backache and
All Urinary Misery,
Kidney disease is the most dangerous,
because the first symptoms are seen in
other parts of the body before anything
wrong is noticed with the kidneys them
selves.
Some of the symptoms, though, can
not be mistaken; for instance, sick, un
healthy kidneys cause thick, cloudy, of
fensive urine, full of sediment, irregu
lar of passage or attended by a sensa
tion of scalding. The back aches con
stantly, or there is dull misery in the
sides and loins, headaches and dizzy
spells may occur, nervous twitchings,
disturbed sleep, inflamed or puffy eye
lids. weakness, bilious stomach, heart
palpitations or the sufferer is often
weighted down by a feeling of languor
or fatigue.
1 The time to cure kidney trouble is
while it is only trouble —before it set
tles into Diabetes. Dropsy, Gravel or
Bright’s disease. The moment you sus
pect the slightest kidney, bladder or
urinary disorder begin taking Pape’s
Diuretic as directed, with the knowl
edge that there is no other medicine, at
any price, made anywhere else in the
world, which will effect so prompt and
thorough a cure.
Don’t, be miserable and remain in
danger another moment because of a
lame back or clogged, inactive kidneys
or bladder or urinary misery; all this
will surely go after you take Pape’s
Diuretic for a few days.

DR. SIMMS’ RESIDENCE ON ALAMO HEIGHTS.
For the past four nights the resi
dence of Dr. G. W. Simms, on Encino
avenue, Alamo Heights, has been
guarded by Special Deputy Sheriff W.
A. Mitchell, fear being entertained that
the mysterious attempt to burn it will
be tried again. Despite the keenest
watch, however, Deputy Mitchell has
seen no one of a suspicious character.
At 4 o’clock Saturday morning of

PLATFORM BEING
FORMED BY NEW
YORK DEMOCRATS
Special Dispatch.
Bochester, N. Y., Sept. 28.—The
democrats started in today to build a
platform and select a man for the
gubernatorial nomination for the demo
cratic convention which will open here
tomorrow. Mayor Gaynor’s second let
ter, in which he said that he would re
fuse the gubernatorial nomination, has
left what the leaders term an open
field with Bepresentative Jas. J. Hav
ens, apparently leading, in the estima
tion of many of the up state lieuten
ants.
The committee on platform met this
morning to consider a draft which Edw.
M. Shepard brought with him. Some
of the tentative planks closely re
sembled the policies urged by Theodore
Roosevelt in his new nationalism
movement, notably the one pertaining
to direct primaries.
State Chairman John A. Dix said to
day that the convention would set a
new mark in democratic ranks for har
mony. Until this morning not a single
contest had been filed with Secretary
Mason, of the committee. Following a
conference in the Whitcomb house,
Leader Murphy announced that Tam
many would merge its sentiment with
the sentiment of the balance of the
state.
“Tammany does not come here to
fight upstate sentiment,” said Nr.
Murphy. “We are here to unite and
stand shoulder to shoulder.”
William M. Gaynor, the present
mayor of New York, has refused to ac
cept the democratic nomination for
governor and is not a candidate for
the office.
Gaynor was almost certain of secur
ing the nomination when the defegates
assemble here for the state convention
and the news that he would stick to his
duties in New York city was a severe
blow.

operated, the probability is that as

It is authoritatively stated that the

owned by R. H. Russell. The attempt
at arson is a profound mystery, there
being no one against whom suspicion
