DREYFUS IN GRAFT CASES

Ordinance Affecting Pittsburg Baseball .’Park Btill Awaits Action. Pittsburg. Dec. 29.—There is an unconfirmed report to the effect that Barney Dreyfus, president of the Pittsburg Baseball club, is to be an important witness in the graft cases. The park Is located in what was Allegheny prior to the consolidation of the cities and beside annual tickets for all members of the Allegheny council only a nominal license was demanded from the baseball management. When the cities were consolidated the number of coftnciimen was so Targe that annual passes to all was considered too heavy a burden and none was issued. Thereupon a practically prohibitory license ordinance was introduced, but it has never been finally acted upon.
