Tho United States auxiliary cruiser Scor

to Guanocn, Vonczucln, tho nearest port to
tho scene of tho trouble between tho rival
asphalt companies. It recently left La
Cuayra (tho port of Caracas) ami brings tho

situation Is described uh being serious. It
Is siil'd that tho emphatic protests of tho
government nt Washington havo been de

Tho most hotheaded of tho foreigners In
Venezuela go so far as to say that If tho
Washington authorities do not take steps to
protect American citizens, now all foreign
ers may ns well leavo the country. Tho ofll
cers of tho Scorpion nro quoted as saying
that the diplomatic corps nt Caracas is
unanimous on this point, ns nro nil the
foreigners. They admit, however, that tho
United States minister nt Caracas, Francis
II. I.oomlK. Is working vigorously in the ef
forts to arrange matters.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19. Tho tnaguates of
tho new American association completed
their meeting nt tho Hotel Marlborough
tonight. Tho final dotalls of tho organiza
tion havo been completed and temporary
ofllcors chosen. The national agreement
has been signed.
The promoters of tho new organization,
tbo association's committee, consisting of
Mossrs. Watklns, Irwin, Koch nnd Havener,
met two members of tho national board
of arbitration, Messrs, Koden of Doston
and Hart of Chicago, who had power to
act. Tbo constitution of tho new organiza
tion was gone over. It conformed In ovory
way to tho terms of tho national agree
ment, except In relation to drafting. When
the conferenco ended tho announcement
was made that tho league had granted Its
protection. Tho exact status of tho now
organization has not been ofllctally ngtecd
upon. In tho matter of classification the
new American association will practically
bo on tho snmo footing ns tbo old associa
tion. As to the matter of drafting plnyers, the
National ngreement was modified In that
It gives to the owner of each club In tho
American association tho right to reservo
nny llvo players at tho end of each year.
All tho terms of tho agreement entered Into
by the big league nnd tho new association
are to run for one year, with tho privilege
of renewal. This was dono to conform
with tho ten-year agreement of tho Na
tional league clubs, which explro at the
conclusion of 1001.
Statement by Jlr. M'ulUlnw,
At tho conclusion of today's session W.
II. Watklns of Indlnnnpolls, who has been
chosen temporary president nnd secretary
treasurer of tho new association, said:
Wo nro sntistled with tho miccess we
havo met. Wo lmvo urrnngod our circuit,
effected a permanent organization nnd re.
celved tho protection of tho National
league.
Tho prdtectlon granted us In tho matter
of drafting Ih ample. Under our agree
ment the very best part of nny of o.ir teams
may bo retained by tho club owners. Any
llvo that may bo picked uro exempt from
drafting.
Tho league lias met us fnirly nnd granted
nearly all wo asked for. Our organization in
In tho host slinpo posslblo llnuuclallv. Our
schedule, meeting will be held very soon
ufter the regular schedule meeting of the
league. It probably will bo In ouo of tho
cities In our circuit. Our constitution con-
rorms cnureiy n ine national arret ment
except us to tho right of drafting. Our
players contracts will bn uubHtautlall)' tho
same as thoso of tho National league.
I fully expect to sco u new boom In tho
national game.

The question ns to who tho permanent
officers of tho new association will bo Is
problematical.
Ilcforo adjourning n board of directors
of tho new association was chosen. It con
sists of Havoner of Milwaukee, Koch of
Detroit, Irwin of Boston nnd White of
Washington. As to tho makeup nt the
various teams, It, Is probable that tho Na
tional lengue teams will turn tholr sur
plus players over to the American associa
tion. When tho new reservo rulo, which
limits tho net number of players to bo car
ried; by each team to sixteen, goes Into
effect on April 1, thero will be nt least
ninety lenguo players on tho market.
These, or tho majority of them, will bo

Mr. Ritchie, It Is understood, was espe

doctor to camp 'n th" mountains and to live
largely on Grape-Nuts food. My caso was
pronounced tuberculosis of the bladder by a
fomous Now York specialist, the best au

Hue.
"I went Into camp and used Grape-Nuts
ns I would meat, bread or potatoes. I was
careful not to over-eat, but used the food
threo times a day, nnd at the end of 10
weeks, went for a new examination, when
not u trace of tuberculosis could bo found.
My physlclnu looked nt mo nnd said, 'I don't
b'ellevo there Is such a marvelous caso as
this on record.'
"Roth the doctor and myself give Hie
credit to tho Grape-Nuts food. To bo sure,
I took outdoor oxerciso nnd this no doubt
helped ine some, but with all the outdoor
air and exercise In the world, I could not
build up my blood to n condition where It
would kill off tho bacilli unless I had good
food of the character of Grape-Nuts to do It
on. For family reasons, I Wish to avoid
having my namo appear in public print."

Crelghton had many attainments and was
accounted ono of the most erudite theologi
cal historians of tho day. Yet none could
roll u cigarette more deftly or retort more
quickly In up-to-date slang. Ho woro his
learning ns lightly ns a flower, but his
nddrcsscs to tho clergy wero hardly over
equalled. In ruling his episcopate during
tho troublous times of tho keen, ritualistic
controversy, ho avoided stern lcgnl meas
ures, yet generally secured obedience to his
will. Ho was nn nthlcto In his youth nnd
rowed In nn Oxford eight, but ho was more
famous for his velveteen cont than for nny
achievements. Children ndored him nnd

"Sam" Lewis' humor took n fanciful turn.
Whenever ho Baw nn opportunity tb make
llfo nilsornble for Bprigs of tho nrlstocracy
ho never missed It. Once ho was able to
taunt his victim he did not seem to care
whether ho got his money back or not. Yet
a beggar never asked him for alms In the
street without n substantial reply. Ho fre
quently said he hnd so much money that he
scarcely know what to do with It. Tho
true character of tho man Is best Judged
by his enormous bequests to charity which
havo not been cqunlled In tho recent his
tery of England. It seems he devoted his
llfo In robbing tho -nobility In order to
enrich tho poor. Lewis lived In a fine
Iioubo in Grosvcnor square, where his wlfo
entertained lavishly. His tight trousers,
sporty clothes nnd Immense diamonds gnvo
him tho appearance of n "flash" racing

Wednesday, when several thousand city
cnb drivers were tho guests of tho Society
for tho Protection of Animals nt a public
bnnquet. This function was tho direct re
sult of tho Individual efforts of Mrs. Anna
Conover. Though Danish by birth, sho is
the widow of a former resldont of Wash
ington, who wns onco secrotnry of tho
Amerlenn legation In Madrid. Mrs. Con-
over was many years a resident of London,
where sho became a local celebrity ns tbo
manager of tho Olympla theater. Rotlrlng
from theatrical life a few years ngo, sho
settled In London, whero sho was prominent
In many humane and philanthropic societies.
Coming to Paris tn October last for a brief
visit, sho was horrified at th cruel treat
ment of tho horscB. She talked to every
body and wroto to tho newspapers urging a
citizens' movement to abate tho cruelty.
Sho met on nil sides the snmo reply:
"Thcro's no uso of doing anything, It Is
Impossible to correct this evil. Frenchmen
nre Instinctively cruel to animals."
I'ndtscouruged, Mrs. Conover, begnn n
vigorous campaign. Alono she visited tho
prefect of pollco nnd obtained tha issuance
of orders to arrest coachmen maltreating
their borbcs. Then sho paraded tho
principal thoroughfares, alert for every
cracking whip. However crowded tho road
way, Mrs. Conover was undeterred. When
she ordered nu arrest, policemen found that
no trilling was allowed.
Instead of returning to Ixmdon, sho ro
mnlncd hero until every policeman nnd
every cabblo on tho bouiovards know her
nt tho first glance. Her farao soon spread,
until tho constant reiteration by tho news
papers of tho work she was doing won tho
EngllBh-Bpeaklng colony's cordial support.
Thon many grandees, dames of tho
Faubourg St. Germain, became Interested
nnd lent tbo prcstlgo of their names to tho
movement. At this Juncture somebody dis
covered thero was a socloty for the protec
tion of anlmalB nlrondy existing. Shamed
Into action, this organization fell Into linn
behind Mrs. Conovor. who finally conceived
tho project of appealing to the hearts of the
19.000 Paris cabmen through their stomachs.
Wednesday's banquet was the result. Prlzen
were distributed to thoso eabblen tenderest
