Tbat the Chicago publlo la generally more
Interested In the bunch of Box, which la

which Is with Comlskejr la shewed by the

cago papnrg are coming to Omaha to look
after the movements cf the younger mem
bers of the WWte Box crowd.
Captain Franck, expects to have his men
! In excellent condition for the game Friday,
for no game has been scheduled all week
and the man have had simply to condition
themselves by removing the acre spots
Which the gruelling practice of last week
Inflicted. The players are all working1 hard
and conscientiously and If hard work will
bring about the desired results the Omaha
team should surely be In condition.
Fa will send the best he haa Into the
'. game Friday, for It would be quite a
feather In hla cap to beat the World's
Champion. This haa been done and may
be repeated Friday.
The figure crank is at It again and this
time he Is working out the relative busl
neua of the various members of a big leagru
ball team. Of course, the pitcher and
catcher are conceded to be the king bee
hustlers because of the burdensome nature
f their Jobs. But so far as fielding chances
go the first bixcman has them all beat.
Here's the way the crank figures the
average chancea per game:
First Nine........ JO. 6

Third base ... S3
Shortstop 5.7
Catcher ' S I
Pitcher It
Center field 8 1
Ieft field 2.1
KJfht field f.l
Outside of the baseman and catcher
It will be noted that the middle fielder,
second baseman and shortstop are the
busiest persons, showing a tendency on the
part of the batsman to turn the ball
straight back the way It came,
George Perrlng probably will be retained
a utility man for the Cleveland team this
year. Reports from the training camp
' which was recently broken up at Macon,'
CI a... are to the effect that both O'Brien and
Perrlng. the two Infield utility men on
whom Lajole was relying, have been slow
In rounding Into condition. O'Brien haa
. been suffering with rheumatism md Per
, ring has had a bad arm all spring. Perrlng
went Into one game to bat tor a pitcher In
' the last Inning and made a hit. stole a
base and made a run. A good record for
a lame man.
"I have been greatly amused," saya Presi
dent C. W. Murphy of Chicago, "by the
- selection of an all-star Infield by a certain
writer,' who named Donohue, Lajole, Turner
and Collins aa hla Infield. I would not
, 'trade the Cub Infield for thla all-star aggre

Editor of The Uee: The Fort Omaha team
Is fast getting into shape but la not ready
to be clusslfled In either A, B, C or D, but
would prefer to let future scores decide In
what class we Belong. We ask this be
cause we will have so many men In the
lineup we did not have last season that
the future munt Judge our damnification.
Hints and aoressorlt-s are now oeing pur
chased and when the team is properly
fitted out we shall be faithful to tradition
bv pluylng as many games aa our duties
and the weather will consistently permit.
Our own diamond is In excellent shape,
hut contrary to the sentiments of one of
Omaha's dallies, expressed yesterday, we
do not desire to fence it In nor to charge
an admission fee; the game Is being fol
lowed for' purely recreative and competi
tive purposes and as long as there Is
standing room on Fort Omaha s grounds
for a spectator we don't mind picking up
the remains of the popcorn and peanut
lings on the following day. therefore, come
and bring your friends with you.
To the silent Mollys, and to any Team
who itiny favor us with games In the fu-
ture. we desire to say that 'rootu g is
not considered the most Insignificant fea-
re of a baw hall game, and wherever the
Signal Corps team plays this , season, it
will he attended ty a contingent tnat win

DINGER HERMANN TESTIFIES
Former Commisioiir of Land Cffioo Tails
of Life and Wort.
ENTERED FEDERAL SERVICE UNDER GRANT
Resrret Lose of Notes Which WtiU
Hare Shown Contents of Letters
Destroyed on Leaving;
Office.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-Blnger Her
mann, on trial for destroying publlo reo
trds, testified In his own behalf today.
At the suggestion of his counael Mr. Her
mann gave a brief.aketch of hla career.
He waa born In Maryland In 1848. went
to Oregon when he was IS, taught school
and worked on a farm, studied law and
waa admitted to the bar In 1886. That
year, he was elected to the state legis
lature. In 1871 President Grant appointed
him receiver of publlo moneys In the Rose
burg land office. He waa elected to con
gress In 1SS4, and served twelve years, until
the election of Mr. McKInley as president.
"President McKInley kindly selected me
or was It unkindly," remarked ' Mr. Her
mann, "aa commissioner of the general
land office."
After leaving the land office In 1903, Mr.
Hermann said, he had twice been elected
to congress, his last term expiring March
4, of this year.
Mr. Hermann emphasized the fact that
during his publlo career ha took great pains
to travel over his state, and In these
travels ha made many friends. These
friends wwte him many letters and he
had never refused to answer a letter. Aa
a consequence, he said that when he went
Into the land office as commissioner In
18S7, he was receiving on an average of
ten to thirty letters a day, mostly from
his Oregon friends,
tenographer .on Stand.
E. P. Hough, who waa stenographer In
the land office under Mr. Hermann, cor
roborated Chris Miller as to being present
In a Portland restaurant with Mr. Miller
and Rlttenhaus when Mr. Hermann asked
these young men If they had kept their
shorthand note books. He said Mr. Her
mann's words were:
"I wish you boys had your note books,
then we could ahow to the world what
was In those letters."
Hough said he did not remember that
Mr. Hermann 1 made any remarka about
the destroyed letter book at that time.
Aa to this Incident. Mr. Rlttenhaus tes
tified that only himself and Muller were
present at this interview with Mr. Her
mann, and that Mr. Hermann- asked
minutely regarding what had been done
with the deatroyed letter books and with
the waste paper In his office.
E. H. Cortes, who was a messenger In
the land office during Mr. Hermann's ad
ministration, testified to finding two or
three old letter books tn a store room of
the office, the letter books being those of
Senator Carter, who was once a commis
sioner of the land office.
Mr. Hermann then resumed the stand,
and explained that the first day he took
up his duties as commissioner, ha waa
brought a letter book marked "private"
by Mr. Hough, who had been assigned as
his stenographer. It waa explained to
him, he said, that It was the usual custom
for 'the commissioner to use a private
letter book for his personal correspondence.
Mr. Hermann , said .that . he corresponded
considerably with hla family In . Oregon
and that he' wrote hla aon, Schljler Her
mann, many letters. He said, he had de
partmental business to transact for hla
constituents and Oregon friends In prac
tically every department and every bu
reau of every department of the govern
ment. He said his mall waa always opened
and on his desk when he arrived at the
office and that very frequently he would
find lettera relating to mattera In the gen
eral land office which required an official
answer among his personal lettera Theae
lettera were alwaya sent to the proper
divisions for reply and all auch repllea
were written for him to algn.
Wanted to Be Senator.
Mr. Hermann admitted In anawer to a
question by hla attorney that he had had
aspirations to become United States sena
tor and that be corresponded with many
persons In Oregon to keep In constant
touch wltM the political situation there.
He said his personal correspondence waa
increaaed by the fact' that he had written
a pamphlet describing the western bound
ary of the Louisiana purchase and that
he had sent many of these pamphlets, to
gether with a "few kindly llnea." to hla
frlenda In Oregon' and the weat. Requeata
for state maps, Information about home
stead entries and letters from persons who
had contracts for surveys, Mr. Hermann
aald, were written to him personally, to
which ha replied personally. It was this
character of correspondence that was
copied In hla private letter hooka. The
official correspondencs of the land office,
Mr. Hermann explained, originated In the
thirteenth division of that office, where
the letters were written. These letters
were brought to him dally for his signa
ture. They numbered from 160 to 360 a
day. He aald he signed these letters with
out reading, elmphy looking at the Initials
In the corner, so to see that they came
from the proper Individuals In the various
divisions. During his administration of
the land office, Mr. Hermann said, he did
not remember having looked Into one of
hla personal letter books. The only ue
they were put to waa to obtain the ad
dress of some correspondent. He said about
a year before his term expired he noticed
that these private booka were Increasing
on the ahelf very rapidly and that too
many unimportant lettera were being
copied In theae booka.
Mr. Hermann explained the frequency of
the vislta of 8enator Mitchell by aaying
that Oregon seemed to have more land
matters to attend to than almost any other
atate and that Senator Mltchell'e colleague.
Senator McBrlde, was physically Incapaci
tated to get around much. -

MAJOR PENROSE ON STAND
Officer Does Not Believe
CnUty of Shooting;
Brownsville.
Neajroes
WASHINGTON, April 8. Testimony of
unusual Interest waa given today In the
Brownsville Investigation before the senate
committee on military affairs, the chief
witnesses being Major Charles W. Penrose,
who commanded the former soldiers who
are charged with having "shot up" the
Texas city, and Lieutenant H. G. Leckle,
who was sent to Brownsville by General
McCaskey, commander of the Department
of Texas, to Investigate facts connected
with the shooting.
Lieutenant Leckle traced the course taken
by bullets that penetrated houses In
Brownsville and came to the conclusion
that the bullets could not have been fired
by soldiers In the barracks. Major Pen
rose, who has been acquitted by court-martial,
found that the men of the Twenty
fifth Infantry were guilty. Notwithstand
ing this Major Penrose asserted hla confi
dence now In the Innocence of the men, al
though at first he thought them guilty.
Major Penrose said be was awake when
the firing began on the night of August IX
He heard two pistol shots from the road,
he thought In the vicinity of the guard
house. He testified to sending Captain
Lyon with Company D to patrol the town,
and of his return accompanied by Mayor
Combe and' hla brother, Joe Combe, and of
their statement that soldiers had done the
shooting. The witness said Mayor Combe
told him none of the men of the Twenty
fifth should be permitted to enter the town,
as he could not be responsible for the ac
tions of citlaens toward them. Thla ap
plied to officers aa well as enlisted men, as
Mayor Combe aald that the sight of a uni
form might inflame the people. Major Pen
rose said he replied that he would allow
none of his men to enter the town and
neither would hs allow a cltiaen to enter
the garrison.'
Major Penroae said be did not believe
hla men had done the shooting until the
following morning, when Captain Maokiln
found the clips and shells outside the gar
rison wall at the mouth of what Is known
as. the Cowan alley. The witness detailed
hla meeting with a citiiens' committee on
the morning of Auguat 14, when a demand
waa made for the surrender to civil
authorities of ths perpetrators of he at
tack. He told the committee that aa soon
aa the guilty men could be discovered hs
would surrender them, and that In the
meantime hs waa taking every precaution
to prevent a recurrence of ths firing.

PUERTO CORTEXZ. Honduras, March .
Vla New Orleans, April IV Ths Inten
tions of ths United States In landing
marines on the Honduras coast and the
evident latitude granted them In protecting
foreign life and property Is exciting much
comment here. It has been remarked as
especially significant that ths American
landing parties, not only here, but at
Celba and TrnJUlo, have In each Instance
plaoed a Hotchklss gun, which they took
ashore with them, so as to sweep the sea
ward approach.
The foreigners believe that this means
that the United States will not permit the
ports to be bombarded. Inasmuch as M per
cent of the houses hers and at Celba be
long to foreigners.
Cannon shot fired Into either place would
do most damage to foreign owned property.
It Is. believed that In these two ports
Nlcaraguan gunboats will be kept off by
the Hotohktss guns, while at Trujlllo,
despite the fact that' It Is a Honduran
port ths Honduran gunboat will not be
allowed to bombard In any attempt to re
capture ths port from the Nlcaraguana.
Both countries are treated Impartially In,
this respect
Powers of Commander.
Although ths powers granted Commander
FuIIam of the American gunboat Marietta,
which landed these, parties, are believed to
be sufficiently broad to prevent naval at-
tacka, yet the foreigners fear that the
Americans would not lnterefere to stop
landing parties from charging the local gar
risons and capturing ths ports. Ths fear,
however, that such captures would Involve
the horrors of a loot has been dispelled, at
least for ths ooast towns, where Americana
are stationed, hy the experience of Tru
jlllo. There - the Nlcaraguan captors have
conducted themselves in a most exemplary
manner. Reports of conditions at ths In
terior towns are not so satisfactory. ' At
Trujlllo Commander Fullam Is reported
to have summarily settled the difficulty
arising over ths burning of some of the
houses and also one between United States
Consular Agent John Glynn and the Nlcara
guana. Details about -either of these af
fairs are not available.
At Puerto Cortes the dosen marines com
prising ths landing party are quartered In
what Is, perhaps, lit the United States, the
most widely known of Honduran build
ings, namely, the Mansion, formerly occu
pied by the Honduras National Lottery
company. The marines ocoupy a large
room where the lottery drawings were
held and the Hotchklaa gun stands on the
veranda. This handful of marines Is In the
midst of about 1.500 Honduran soldiers, who
are continually busy drilling and throwing
up fortifications.
