Last night T ho curtain dropped on tho City Polo league, the last, game of the season being played by the Ktnpires and Crescents, resulting in a I to :-t victory for the former team. The result, of this name tied the Crescents and Creeks for second place. The Kibbeyp, by playing fast, consistent polo from start to finish won the- championship in a common canter, leading their nearest opponents by points. Between the Crescents, Creeks and Umpires for the past four or five weeks It has been a nip and tuck fight for second place and when the gong sounded tho close of the race last, night, a blanket could have been spread over these three contestants. The Bcall--view team got away bad and were almost out of the running before they struck their stride. The last two weeks this team has been playing good jolo as shown by the fact that last "Wednesday evening they took the Kinbeys In a 5 to 4game. Had the seanon lasted three or four weeks longer the southerners would have been well Tip in the running. So successful has the city league been this season that it is an assured fact that the league will bo re-organfz-ed again next fall with six instead of five teams in the field. In the Sunday lsnue of the Palladium, an all-star city league team will be picked. Before he league game last night the Greeks nnd the Beallviews played an exhibition game, the former winning 3 to 1.

AHEPRACTICING HARD Captain Allison Puts Baseball Candidates Through Preliminary Training. IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED. The high school base ball team was given another hard workout yesterday after school hours at the public school play grounds. There were some twenty candidates out, so that Captain Allison divided the men up into two teams. Allison ami Clements twirling for the one team and Johnson for the other. Forling officiated at the back stop and did remarkably well. The hitting by both teams was far below par and it looks as if a batting net would be of good use to the majority of the men The fielding was fairly good, but nothing to boar.t of. Although it is rather early. Captain Allison hopes to make a better showing next week and expects the m(jn to exhibit some of their fine points, as the squad on th- whole is a likely looking bunch. After practice Capt. Allison had the men jog around the track a couple of times to end things up properly. Tho next practice will be held next Monday evening and "everybody out," is the decree of the manager and the captain. PARTY VOTE PASSES BILL Id SENATE (Continued From Page One.) amendment was adopted prohibiting any national bank from investing its funds in stocks or other securities of a corporation the officers or directors of which are officers or directors of the bank, and providing a penalty of imprisonment of from one to five years. The proposition to insert a provision for a government guarantee of deposits in national banks was the subject of an extended debate, and was defeated. Another amendment offered by Mr. La Folletta prohibited loans by national banks to its officers or to any corporation the majority stock of which is owned by the officers of the bank. It was rejected. Knox Makes a Protest. An amendment by Mr. La Follette to punish by from one, to five years' imprisonment any falsification in bank securities was adopted, but was protested against, by Senator Knox as already provided for by existing law. House Leaders Are Silent. Republican leaders in the house were very reticent about predicting the course of the Aldrich bill in that branch of congress. Speaker Cannon refrained from making comment, and some of the chiefs of the majority were equally silent. Enough was gathered, however, to justify the prediction with the reasonable certainty that when the bill goes to the house from the senate it will bo referred to the committee on banking and currency, despite current report that jurisdiction over it might be given to the committee on rules.

TJ. State Democratic Chairman Says He Thinks Local Man Would Be Elected to Congress From This District. FRIENDS DESIRE TO SEE KUHN RUN. Minister States That He Has Given the Proposition No Consideration, Whatever His Chances. YVhen asked today regarding an interview, with Stokes Jackson as to the probability of his candidacy for congress, the Rev. T. II. Kuhn, of this city stated he has given the proposition no consideration. It is known friends of the candidate for governor have importuned him to continue in the political field and try again for the congressional plum in the Sixth district. Whether or not he will entertain the proposition is unknown, even to Mr. Kuhn. Mr. Kuhn was the last opponent of James E. Watson, the republican candidate in this district, and. the number of votes polled by him marked him as a strong candidate. Stokes Jackson, of Greenfield, democratic state chairman, is one o fthe most influential democrats who thinks well of Mr. Kuhn as congressional timber, and it is his opinion that the preacher politician could be elected to the national legislative body next fall if the democrats of the Sixth should see fit to nominate him. 'Mr. Kuhn. is an excellent campaigner," said Mr. Jackson yesterday, wrben he was asked his opinion of the Kuhn congressional boom, "and I believe he could be elected in the Sixth this year. He made an unusually strong race against Mr. Watson the last time the latter was elected, and the experience he gained from his recent race for the nomination for governor would make him still more able to put up a hard fight for a seat in congress. ''One of the strongest points in Mr. Kuhn's favor is that he is absolutely elean politically. He is one of the best campaigners in the state and wherever ho goes he makes friends. Of course he is well known all over the Sixth district, and the fact that he received L'O.c.i") votes to ll.in3 for Mr. Watson in the last race proves that he is popular with the people. "The democrats of the Sixth district were much disappointed that Mr. Kuhn failed to get the nomination for governor, although they are, heartily for Mr. Marshall and they don't want Mr. Kuhn to get out of politics altogether. "I don't know what Mr. Kuhn's attitude will be toward this suggestion that he become a candidate for the nomination for congress. I haven't seen him since the talk started. But I do believe the people of the Sixth district will make every effort to get him into the race." The date for tho Sixth district democratic congressional convention has not been named. AUTOISTS PREPARE FOB BUSY SEASON Wayne County Club to Hold Annual Meeting. On April 21, the annual meeting of the Wayne County Automobile club will be held for the purpose of electing officers and preparing a program for the season. At the present time there are over one hundred automobiles in the county, of this number about eighty are owned by Richmond people. Owing to the financial stringency the local automobile market this spring has been dull. DEPOSITIONS TAKEN Witnesses From Williamsport To Appear in SmithVaughan Proceedings. CASE TO BE HEARD SOON.

The plaintiff seeks to recover $10,000 as balm for her injured feelings Drought about by a breach of promise 1 to marry, which she says the defen dant is guilty of. Practically all doubt as to the certainty of the case being heard in Wayne county has been abandoned. The trial has been set for April 13. This is expected to prove one of the most important and most interesting cases during the April terni of court. Nothing will be left undon by both parties. Wilfred Jesup has been assisting the counsel for the defendant in the preparation of testimony.

IS LIKELY Appeal From Action of County! Commissioners Will Go To Circuit Court. WASHINGTON TP. CASE. An appeal from the action of tho court of the county commissioners in j granting the petition of a number of the residents of Washington township for the construction of a free gravel turnpike, will be taken to the circuit j court. The commissioners have no recourse under the law other than order the constriction of a road, when the petition complies with the law. The petition now- "i file did tats in every detail, it is claimed by those who are promoting the project. The opponents will base their claim for an appeal. niton the assertion that some of the signers to the petition are not resident free holders in Washington township. The opponents of the road are has j ing their attitude upon an interpreta-i lion of the law provided by atto'neys j they have retained. The matter, which at first promised to go through without any opposition now bids fair to create one of the largest furors that has sg'rred a township in this county in many years. The entire township would have to bear the tax for the cost of the road construction and it is claimed only about one dozen families would derive any benefit trom the road. ACCUSED OP COWING" WITNESS Attorney Freeman Resented Accusation. In connexion with the case of Mary vs. Fred McGuire in the Wayne circuit court this morning, attorney John F. Robbins became somewhat pro voked by the proceedings and turning upon Perry J. Freeman, pauper attorney, accused him of "cowing" witnesses. Mr. Freeman resented the remark and placed his objection before the court. Judge Fox rapped for order a number of times before the heated conversation between the two attorneys subsided. Unaware to his father, Byram Robbins, who was appearing as counsel for McGuire, had informed the court of his withdrawal from the case. The senior Robbins came into the court room later and judged Freeman had attempted to take advantage advantage of his client. McGuire was summoned to court to explain why he had not complied with the decress of the court that ho pay in a certain sum of money for attorney's fees for his wife. McGuire stated he had no money. lie said he earned about $6 last week, but had to spend it. A8RAMS SERVED W IN PRISON This Is Disclosed by Prosecuting Attorney. The prosecuting attorney has been informed that Joseph Abrams, the young man arrested at Cambridge City and charged with the theft of a horse, has served two years time in the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus. Abrams retained counsel a few days ago, but they have withdrawn from the casa and his interests now are being attended to by the pauper attorney. Abrams claimed he hired a horse r.nd rig from Banning, the liveryman, with the intention of taking his wife to ride. Instead, he became intoxicated and drove to Cambridge City, where he attempted to dispose of the outfit. Deaths and Funerals. THESING Clara F.

JOHNSON TALKATIVE Prospective Presidential Candidate States His Views On Situation. NOT SEEKING NOMINATION. St. Paul, Minn., March 2S. Governor Johnson Friday made a specific declaration that while he has not sought and will not seek the democratic nomination for president he will not refuse the honor if it is tendered him. This statement was made in a letter to Swan J. Turnblad, publisher of the Minneapolis Swedish-American Post, who had asked Governor Johnson for a declaration on the subject. The Governor's letter to Mr. Turnblad is as follows: In reply to your inquiry as to my plans in connection with the democratic nomination for president, let me say that I do not believe that any American citizen should be an active; open candidate for the nomination to the presidency. Any American would appreciate ihe high honor which could come to him in being selected as the standard bearer of his party. I am not unmindful of the high honor which has been paid me by the people of Minnesota, and if the democratic party of the state desires to present my uame to the next national convention I am sure I would have no objection; but even if Minnesota were the only state to declare for me at that time I should still feel' that the distinction was one of the greatest which could come to me. I have nothing, and will do nothing, in the way of organization to bring about this end, and shall not be a candidate in the souse of seeking the nomination. I desire it understood that in no sense am I to be a candidate for the purpose of defeating Mr. Bryan or any other man; that the only consideration which would induce mo to allow the use of my name would be the feeling that I might be necessary to the cause. I have written you fully, that you may thoroughly understand the situation. In order that there may b no doubt, I would say. in answer to your question, that, if a nomination came to me. I certainly should not refuse it. JOHN' A. JOHNSON. MUCH SUGAR COATED Statements Are Issued From Germany in Regard to Hill Case. AMERICANS TO BLAME. Berlin, March "k. The matter of the acceptance by the German government of Dr. David Jayne Hill, nowAmerican minister at The Hague, as American ambassador to succeed Charlemagne Tower, continues to hold public interest. The foreign office deals with the affair by denying that any expression adverse to Dr. Hill has come from the German side, dec'aring that he is persona grata, and that all statements in a contrary sense are inventions put into circulation by designing Americans. It states that the opposition to Dr. Hill is American and not German. Charlemange Tower's Part. Mr. Tower's part is explained to have been confined to a transmittal to President Roosevelt of the Emperor's definite communication. It happens also that his majesty at about the same time requested a distinguished personal friend of President Roosevelt who is now- in Germany, to write to the president concerning his majesty's unwillingness to receive Dr. Hill. Both of these communications were sent at the express wish of the emperor. It is just possible that the Foreign office is not aware of the second communication, which is probably etlil in the transatlantic mail.
