Tener of Pennsylvania made this remark to several close friends more than a year ago, although at the time he prob- aply had no ldea that some day the National league men would ask him to accept the presidency of that storm- tossed organization. The staiement by W. F. Baker, the president of the Phil- adelphia club, to the effect that six club presidents had agreed to ask Gev- ernor Tener to become president of the league, was openiy confirmed by James E. Gaffney, owner of the Bosion Na- tignals. 1 have promised to support Baker in his plan to induce Governor Tener to accept the presidency of our league,” said Gaffney last night., “If the gov-, ernor will take the office the league will be wonderfully trengthened in prestige, while organized baseball, foo, will be greatly benefited with the gov- ernor serving on the national com- mission with Ban Johnson, also a big man. “When T sald two weeks ago that T weuld support Tom Lynch for re- election unless the other club own#'s could produce a better man I meant what 1 said. But when Baker sug- ted Governor Tener I at once de- cided to join hands with him because T felt that no better .selection could be made® It will be the first time in my life that I have voted for a re- publican.” President Ebbets of the Brooklyn club aiso confirmed the story.

Custodian of Jackies’ Funds Disappears ¢ With About $3,000. : Rome, Nov. 11,—The bluejackets of the United States battleships Utah and Delaware, now at Villafranche, and of the Vermont.and Ohio, at Marseilles, through misplaced confidence may miss a trip {o Rome, for which they have been making preparation. Alfonso Cal- derozzo, a former bandsman on the Utah, on recommendation of Chaplain William H. I. Reaney, was made the custodian of the funds which the sail- ors set aside for this purpose. He col- lected in all about $3,000. It was reported to Chaplain Reaney this morning that Calderozzo could not be found. In the afternoon Gerald A. Grifiin, paymaster’s clerk of the Utah, arrived¥at Rome. He said he had met Calderozzo at Ventimeglia, on the ranco-Italian froutier. The latter ex- plained that he would - not bhe able *to fulfill his obligations to the sailors, and Griffin urged him to telegraph im- mediately to the captains of the bat- tleships a full explanation of the sit- uation. Chaplain Reaney, after hearing this story, left immediately for Villafranche and added that even the Protestant chaplain, on his sugges- tion, had entrusted Calderozzo with funds which he had collected from some of the Protestant sailors. - , if necessary USELESS CHRISTMAS S GIVING CONDEMNED.

She and Hurley did not talk over their notes before wriiing them. Did not remember what time Hurley left that night, but did not think he stayed there all night. Did not know whether there was any difference between her writing in haste and at lelsure. Shown her notes of Sept. 9th and requested to compare them with those of July 11th said in her judgment the writing of Sept. 9th appeared more hurried. Has had no communication with the officials of the insurance company which insured Howarth's automobiles. How She Met Howarth, Her first step In getting evidemce was to go to Putnam to mest Howarth, Had had a business conversation over the phone with him a year previously. This conversation was referred to by her on May 12th. Her notes of this interview were written ds soon as she got home. Asked what she said to draw out defendant's remarks about his family, witness said she must have :;fi up to it. Could not remember ether anyone came in while they were there. They were in back room of the office. There was a desk and a bookease in the room. She asked de- fendant if he was married. and he sald he had no such intention and bad never been engaged. Invited Howarth to Lunch. On May 26th witness again went to Putnam in answer (o a letter, saw de- fendant at 1 p. m, and stayed about two hours, Her errand was to talk about the lot. Defendant sald he was not engaged and would be pleased to | come to see her. Witness asked him to come to lunch if he came after office | hours. Her memorandum did not in- | clude everything defendant sald, for a great deal of it was repetition of what he said at the former visit. She put down all she thought was of any ac- count. Nothing was sald of cards or | poker, Told defendant she was & nurse | her first visit. Shown a visiting | card, witness satd it was printed be- fore she went to Danielson. Told him on one oecasion she was an artist, and she actually had been one and painted | and sold pictures in oll before her marriage to Mr. Bennett. Cocktails at Lunch. 85 May 29th had lunch together at | her house in the dining room. Had lobster salad, and possibly / chicken. | Also had cocktails, which Mr. Hurley had brought a bottle. Defendant rapidly, I in | served himself sparingly, witness had none. Did not tell defendant the job | she deslred him to do in the west was one Attorney Perkins was to have done | and on account of his death she wished it. The plang of her supposed western property were by herself. This plan was identified and lald by the defense. Plan Explained. The cross examination was continued and witness explained the plan, after | which her statements were: Defendant stayed about three and a half hours on that visit; the first thing they did was to look over the lot; that was the | first night defendant spoke of the Put- |nam fires; they spoke of politiclans, |and defendant sald he was going to get even with them.
