BOUVENin BRINGS UP STORY OF
SAM CRAWFORD.
FROM WAHOO TO WORLD FAME
"Wahoo" 8nm Crawford , One of the
Greatest Baseball Datsmon In the
World Today , Originally Played on
the "Kllllan Brothers" Nine.
From "Wnhoo" Bum Crawford , one
Of tin ) greatest baseball batsmen In
tlni world today and who recently
> inndn additional faino for himself by
liln Htellar work In the world's chain-
jilonahlp Kcrlcs , A. L. Kllllan of Nor
folk nan jimt received a series of pho
nographs of the Detroit "Tigers , " In
cluding Crawford , which are highly
gained au a souvenir.
The more highly docs Mr. Kllllan
Trlzo the aeries of pictures from the
fact that Bam Crawford , whoso uamo
md fame are now on the lips of every
enthusiastic atid well posted baseball
fan In the country , got his baseball
In an amateur nlno orga
nl/od by Mr. Kllllan and his brothers
xi t Wahoo Mime jears ago and known
us the "Kllllan Brothers nlno. "
It was on this team that Sam Craw-
foul 11 rut played real baseball and
J'miii his Ufoits on that Kllllan club
that he IIIIK ilbcit b < > uipldly In the
baseball world.
If Ham Crawford comes west this
winter tolHlt ! IH ! old ft lends and ac
quaintances , he will Include Norfolk
In his Itinerary. Ho used to play base
ball In Noilolk when ho was on the
West Point team.
When He First "Made Good. "
It was In a game between the Kll
llan brothers baseball team and a Ne
braska university team one summer's
afternoon that Sam Crawford first
"made good. " One of the Kllllan boys
was pitching and , in attempting to
throw a fast ball across the diamond ,
in tiomo manner snapped a ligament
In his arm. Sam Crawford had never
thrown a ball across the plato but ho
was installed as an emergency tossor.
Ho fanned live university meu In two
innings. The Klllian team won the
ame , 12 to G.
That was Crawford's Hrst game with
Krovvn up men. From that time on he
ascended in the baseball heavens until
Jio has become today a star of the
llrst magnitude.
Stopped Cigarettes.
.Tubt to what extent A. L. Killlan of
Norfolk contributed to the world-wide
lame of Sam Crawford may never bo
< > \actlj determined , but It Is certain
* th.it his contribution was considerable.
Tor Mr. Kllllan Induced Sam Craw
ford , then a "collln nail" fiend , to give
T \ ' up cigarettes. It was the promise of
41 $5 pair of bhoes that induced Craw
ford to suspend hlb cigarette smoking
for a little while. Ho got the shoos
4uid from that day to this he has
touched none of the llttlo white cylln-
tiers. He Is a gicat athlete ab ho Is ,
Jwt it is open to debate whether , if ho
had continued to smoke incessant clg-
suettes , his mubcles would be .so bard
nnd bis eye bo clear and his mind so
quick on the babeball diamond today
: ib it actual ! } is.
In his note to Mr. Killian , Ciawford
lonmrKb that he hasn't seen his old
friend for a long time and adds that
its
lie thought perhaps a bunch of tigers
would bo acceptable. He knew bis
friend's tender bpot , for Mr. Killlan is
nn enthusiastic lover of the national
same.

BARNHART HIS OWN ATTORNEY
Defended Himself in Case Brought
Against Him.
The police couit trial of Attorney
H F. Barnhart , interrupted Tuesday
afteinoon when the defendant-attor
ney cleaned out the court with a chair ,
was resumed yesteiday afternoon
vvhon Mr. Barnluut appealed in court
rte
appaiently willing to let the trial proceed -
ont
coed without an ) forcible adjournment
on his part.
The hearing yesterday afternoon
was on the original complaint filed in
police court by the chief of police.
No mention was made of the Tuesday
fracas when the defendant threw a
chair at the judge and cleared the
court room until the arrival of the po
lice. In one corner of the room , how
ever , a pile of broken chairs was a
mute reminder of past hostilities.
Law was substituted for the sway
of foice yesterday and the hearing
proceeded quietly. Mr. Barnhart
showed proper confidence in his own
ability ns a lawyer by defending him
self. He held the trial within ; al
limits , cross examined the es
and placed himself on the stand.
Mr. Barnhait admitted that his
course In the previous day's trial had
reflected moio credit on his athletic
prowess and ability as a chair wielder
than on his discretion or judgment
of the moment The Norfolk attorney
said that he was sorry for his action
when ho ejected the court , that it was
all done In a fit of anger over what
ho considered a very unjust arrest.
The chaigo against him , Mr. Barn'
halt said , was wholly groundless and
It was because he had been annoyed
and hauled Into court without cause
that he lost his temper , became thor -
oughly angered , broke up the court ,
considerable of the court furniture
and fought the police to a standstill.
ill.as
The complaint against Barnhart was
an alleged family disturbance. No
disorderly conduct on his part could
be shown , ho maintained , and direct
evidence on this point was rather lack -
ing.
Police Judge Elseloy at the conclu -
slon of the case spoke of what luhe
know of the matter and assessed a fine
of $5. $
The flnnd attorney announced that
ho would appeal from Uio fine because
it was not cupported by the evidence.
Later ho said the matter would ce.bo
settled by the payment of the fine ,

ROOSEVELT BARS CAT ASHES.
Refuses One Residuary Relic of Wo
man Who Killed Herself.
New York , Nov. 5. Public Adminis
trator William M. Hoes has disposed
of the cntlic legacy left by the late
Mrs. Lulu B. Glover , excepting the
fishes of a cremated kitten. He has
failed to get rid of this interesting
relic. Piesldent Roosevelt , to whom
Mrs. Glover , who committed sulcldo
In her apaitmcnts at 2089 Lexington
avenue on Dec. 10 , left her estate , has
firmly refused to add the funeral urn
which contains the ashes of the feline
pet to his stock of curiosities.
Although It Is not within the pro
vince of the public administrator to
deal with the estates of those who
have made wills , Mr. Hoes at the re
quest cf the president , took charge of
the pioperty left by Mrs Glover. He
said today that he had found the es
tate was valued at more than $0,000 ,
and that within the last few days Pres
ident Roosevelt had notified him that
he would give the money to a char
itable institution.
But the uin which contains the ashes
hh
es of one of the many cats of which :
Mib. Glover was fond Is too much like
a white elephant to appeal to the pres
isk
ident. He notified Mr. Hoes last week ;
that 'he expected him as executor of
ofa
the estate of Mrs. Glover to find a
resting place for the ashes of the kit
Itto
ten. Mr. Hoes has offered the relic teat
several phvslclans. He has found that
theie Is no gencial demand for the
10n
ashes of kittens , so he has taken
charge of the urn himself and Is using
It as a paper weight.
Accoidlng to law the cremated kit
ten Is the property of Presldeat Roosevelt
velt and he may nt any time he is '
es claim the icslduary ashes. Is ,
Mr. Hoes Is sure , the president has
no intention of doing. Mr. Hoes says
he will keep the ashes if ho is unable
to persuade anybody to accept them.
Mr. Hoes' efforts to discover rela
lives of Mrs. Glover have extended
over a peilod of several months , but
have been fruitless. At this time
there Is little more known about the
woman than was known when she
was found in her apartment after she
had tried to kill herself. She died in
the Harlem hmpital , leaving a will
which gave her estate to President
Roosevelt , many photographs of whom
were among her belongings.
Mrs. Glover had a penchant for cats
tsre
At her death several live ones were
found In her rooms , and several days
later there was discovered the urn
which contains the ashes of the kitten

Hold to Answer Charge of Attempts
Blackmail of Storz.

the penalty of having his family da
itroyed , was given his preliminary
hearing bafore United States Commls
loner Anderson and was bound eve
to the April term of the t'odeial gran
Jury in $1,000. $
The character of the proceeding * Ir
the United States commissioner1 ! '
oouit bore no relation to the alleged
attempt at blackmail , but related
wholly to the accused using the malls
for a scheme to defraud. The Ques
tion of blackmail 1s one that will have
to be considered under the state laws.
Mathias Stefan , with his wife , child ,
brother and other friends , were pres
ent at the hearing. Karl Stefan act ;
ed as Interpreter for his brother and
the accused enteied a vehement plea
of not guilty to the charge. He ad
mitted there was a strong similarity
between his own handwriting and that
of the incriminating letter. The plea
of Karl Stefan for his brother was full
of earnestness , and he gave a short
history of his family , showing that
none of the family name bad over be
fore been accused of wrongdoing. An
Important witness was a twelve-year-
old girl named Frances Rcos. She
had lived with the Stefans while her
own mother was In the hospital and
loyally defended her friend against
the possibility of his being guilty of
tbo crime charged against him.

Week With His Mother-ln-Law.
Des Moines Nov. . " '
, 2. "I'd rather go
to the penitentiary , judge , than live
at home with that mother-in-law hov
ering over mo , " said James Wairof
diamatically , as ho extended his hands
In supplication to Judge Mathies in
police court.
Walrof had been arrested under
Iowa's new law which makes wife de
sertion a crime. But he was the first
man yet arraigned on the charge of
wife desertion to place the responsibil
ity on his mother-in-law.
"That may possibly bo true , and
again It may not , " replied Judge Ma-
thles. "It Is true there are mothers-
in-law who would justify a man In de
serting his homo , but In this case you
have failed to show it.
"It is the judgment of the court
that you remain at your homo closely
locked within the same house with
your mother-in-law for ono solid week.
If at the end of that time you can show
that you have been sufficiently pun
ished , the court may not take any fur
ther steps with this case. "
Walrof sought to reply , but was not
permitted. Jurists say the sentence
is the most
remarkable ever pro
nounced in an Iowa court
