BAY JORNSON 0N Ji¥ HART| American Loagne Prosident Discusses the National League Magnate, DEPRECATES ANY SORT OF WAR TALK Inducing Players to Jump Contracts s the Meanest Sort of Tacties, Even If Practiced by a BDase Ball Prestdent. CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—President Ban John- | Son of the American league returned from 8 visit fn Ohlo today full of confidence. The | last few days he spent in Cincinpati and in | Cleveland. In the latter place he held a conference with Charles Somers regarding the new American leagus grounds fn the east. As o result of their meeting Somers agread to go east with Johnson next week to close up matters in Philadelphia, Balti more and Washington. The two American leaguers will be stationed in Philadelphia, while the Natlonal leugue magnates are in sesslon in New York ‘“There has been little change in affalrs since I loft,” sald Johnson. “We are fol- lowing our carefully lald plans and have no reason to change them. There has been no understanding between the leauges and the conferences between Mr. Hart and myself were not what (hey wero represented to be. We talked simply regarding grounds. Mr. Hart had no authority to talk for the league and did not claim to h No agreement betwaen the two leagues has been drawn up by us and 1 am not sure that there will be one. We can get along without one and have prepared ourselves for every emer- gency. President Hart has boen talking about a possible war and outlining the course tho | Natfonal league might pursue in case of a clash. His remarks aro thoroughly antag- onistic to the best Interests of base ball, a8 well as to any league which courts pub- Mo patronage. Ho fs quoted as saying that Natlonal leaguo magnates tould buy any | player they chooso from the American league | and have him break his contract with the | club he had signed with. Such methods, while not uncommon in the history of Na- tional lcague base ball, are of tho vilest sort. In common law the man who causes another to break a contract is as bad as the man who brenks the contract. Why this should be considered any better be- cause they are base ball magnates I do not seo. Natlonal league mcthods have done great injury to base ball and will continue to burt the game it they are employed. 1 ehould blacklis# any player who jumps his contract and score a blg mark against the man who caused him to do it. Just such methods drove the best president the Na- tlonal league ever had from the office, and 1t bids fair to send the present executive into retirement.” GLOOMY DAY FOR FAVORITES Five of the $1x Races Carded at Oak- 1and Go to Horses Not Plcked by the Public.

IN SLUMS OF A GREAT CITY Jacob Rifs Draws a Picture of Squalor Existing in Hab tions of the Poor, 1tul Omaha people turned out in such num- bers Thursday night to hear the lecture of Jacob A. Rils that Boyd's theater was crowded to the limits of ita capacity to acommodate the audience. Mr. Rils lec tured under the auspices of the Young Men's Christlan association and his con- tribution to the course thus far provided by this organization was of the satisfactory sort characteristic of those that have come before. Mr. Rils talked upon a subject near to his heart—the slum and tenement districts of New York. For many years he has studied the lives and characters and surroundings of the inhabitants in the overcrowded settlements, and tho re- sult of his experiences and observations as told by him, while Interesting, wero none the less startling. Mr. Riis was aided in the dellvery of his lecture by stereopticon views of the scenes described DIED, STAFFORD—Fannie A, wife of J. R.
