THEY DOmi IT,
Players' League Men Dissatis
fied That the Schedule
Was Not Changed.
.DIRECTOR KERR'S OPINION.
Without Conflicting: Dates Both
Teams Would be Prosperous.
SECRETARY SCANDRETT TALKS.
Hb Says That Keither Pittsburg Club "Will
Draw Crowds to the Games.
THE SPOETIKG SEWS OP THE DAI
A portion of the local contingent of the
Players National league are greatly dis
satisfied at the outcome of the meeting
called to discuss a change of the schedule,
looking to the prevention of conflicting
dates. It is claimed that should there be
but one game a day there would be money
for both teams, that the cranks would at
tend whichever team was in the city, and
that there are a great many persons who can
only go at certain times in the season and
these times are liable to come when both
clubs are away. There are hundreds of
men who only get to attend a tew games a
year on this account and it is agreed that
they would go twice as often if a team was
at home nearly all the time. To this argu
ment many add the statement that during
lone" trips abroad many regular patrons be
come weaned away and do not attend the
games npon the return of the team. It is
claimed that if there were no conflicting dates,
the enthusiasts could go nearly all the time
and thus keep up a lively interest in the sport.
WASTED PEACE, NOT WAB.
Director TV. IV. Kerr is one of the gentlemen
who favors and has always talked for a non
conflicting schedule. To The Dispatch Mr.
Kerr said:
I am now. and always will be. in f avor of a
non-conflicting schedule. It is business. We
do not want to kill the National League, and
one or the other must fail if this cutthroat
policy is kent up. With non-conflicting sched
ules both organizations could live and make
money. For my part I cannot see why this
policy of war is to be continued.
"I was not informed that there was to be a
meeting until the dav on which itwas held, and
then supposed that Hanlon or Tener knew of
it and would attend. Tener always represents
the capital of the team and Hanlon the play
ers, so I supposed wo would be well repre
sented."; The fact that Pittsburg had no representa
tive at the meeting looks very bad. Tno
Players' League people knew this citv wanted
the dates changed, and why the officials were
not notified of the meeting in time to attend
does not appear. Mr. Kerr would doubtless
have been glad to have gone to Sow York to
srate his side of the case, and being a very con
servative gentleman, would also liked to have
beard tho ether side of the case. It looks as
though the meeting was a cu: and dried in
dorsement of the present schedule.
When Secretory Scandrett, of the National
League, was asked his opinion of tho meeting
and its results, he replied:
ME. scakdbett's views.
"It could not have suited me better, and I
think it means that the fight will not last much
longer. Our team has done bad enough while
nway', but they have played better ball than the
local Brotherhood clnb. It was prophesied that
our men wonld not be able to hold their own In
fast company, but Hanlon said he bad a team
of stars and was prepared to break even with
all the crack teams in the new League. 7 he
peonlo are disappointed in both teams. Our
men won two more games on the trip than was
expected. The other team did not take as
many as they thought they would. The result
is that neither team will draw flies when they
return, and it won't take long to settle this busi
ness here. We've prepared ourselves for a
much longer siege than we will have, and every
thing looks an right at present."
Another gentleman connected with the Pitts
burg National League team said: -Pay day will
be here as soon as the clubs get to the city and
then someone will have to go down in ttfeir
pockets which will cause a squeal. It is a
question of who will continue turowing airay
money the longest and I don't believe the
Players' League backers will last forever."
.Mr. Kerr takes a very sensible view of the
conflicting dato question. The Dispatch
was one of the first papers to advocate a change.
Now that the Players' League people have de
cided not to make the change nothingmore can
be said than that it's a pity to thus endanger
the ponulanty of the sport, as with conflictinc
dates it will certainly be killed. Even if one
League succumbs at this stage of the fight it
will take years to put the game on the footing
it bad before the movement began.
EATS HE'S QUIT.
A Washington OInn Learns That Sir. Klm
Ick Is Ont oT linsrWl.
A Washington special to the Sporting Lift says:
Mr. Unlcfc. of I'lttsburg, la no longer a Leajrne
mannate. He has written a letter to President N.
. young informing him that he has disposed of
his interest in the Pittsbnrc League Unb, and
hereafter he will simply be a looker-on In base
ball matters. Mr. Mmlct probablv saw 'the
type-writing on the wall" and concluded that It
was beet for blm to stand from nnder. In his com
munication to League headquarters Mr. Minick
states that his retirement from bast ball matters Is
riucto the pressure or nrlvate business, but he has
d tsposed of his Interest In the League to a jrentlc
min who will he equally as zealous and enterpris
ing In behalf of the League's success. He adds
that he should have retired from baseball several
years ago. but the garnets so fascinating that he
lound it very difficult to break away from the
pleasant associations that cluster around the na
tional League.

THE
BOODLING IN CANADA.
The Primfr Minister of Quebec is Ac
cused of Complicity
CHABGES HADE BY A CONTRACTOB.
Money Was Necessary to Get Big Bills
Through Parliament
LACONIC BDI TELL-TALE DISPATCHES
Quebec, June 1. All the boodle ex
poses of this most prolific of Canadian
scandal seasons have been cast completely
into the shade by developments in connec
tion with Contractor Whelan's bribery of
two successive Governments of the Province.
The Mnrphy-McGreevy dock swindle of
5250,000, the Eykert land deal of 5200,000,
which cost its author his seat in the Cana
dian Parliament, and General Middleton's
looting of lurs in the Canadian Northwest,
all pale into insignificance before a scandal
that proclaims the shame of the principal
pnblic men oi the Province of Quebec.
Shorn of its unnecessary and Unimpor
tant details, this new story of national
humiliation is as follows: Some eight "years
J. P. "Whelan, of Montreal, then editor and
proprietor of the Daily Post and True Wit
nets, sieued a contract with the then con
servative government of the Province of
Quebec to build a new Court Hone in the
city of Quebec at a cost of 5170.000. Up to
the present time, however, 5700.000 have
"been paid ont to tbe contractors, and
Whelan has filed claims ior 5300,000 more.
QTJABBEI, BETWEEN PAETNEKS.
The present scandal, like that of the Mc
Greevv dock scandal, might have been suc
cessfully kept from the pnblio but for a
quarrel between partners over the division
oi the boodle. Whelan's partner in the
Court House contract was Qaniel Ford, a
practical architect and bnilder, who sup
plied most of tbe mechanical experience,
while Whelan supplied tbe nionev. Ford
did not furnish all the experience, however,
for that necessary to successful political
financiering was supplied by Whelau. Not
withstanding the large amonnt of boodle
paid out to the politicians, both partners
have already made handsome fortunes ont
of their share of the profits derived from the
Court House contract.
Whelan's iasi claim for extras, in consid
eration, it is said, of the payment of large
sums to leading politicians, he succeeded
in having referred to arbitration. Whelan
was clever enougb to take for bis lawyer
Mr. Beansoliel, M. P., Premier Mercier's
law partner; but, complaining that he bled
him too much for political subscriptions,
Whelan some time ago dropped him and re
tained in his place Mr. Prefontaine, M. P.,
another influential politician, and a law
partner of the Premier's son-in-law, Mr.
Gonin. Thereupon-Beausoliel took up the
case of Ford, Whelan's old partner, and
proceeded to pnt the Government contractor
throngh a severe conrse of cross-examination
in regard to his disposal ot certain
moneys that had passed through his hands.
He strnck a snag, however, when he insist
ed upon knowing what Whelan had done
with a certain 510,000.
JUST LIKE TWEED.
"I paid it to the boodlers," said Whelan,
"to prevent the rejection by the House of
mv claim of 5155,000."
Iteport has it that when his 5300,000
claim was referred to arbitration an an
derstanding was arrived at by which
Preiontaine, the lawyer of Whelan and
partner of Premier Mercier's son-in-law,
was to receive 10 per cent or all the extra
recovered by Whelan before the arbitration,
the appointment of which arbitration was
made by tbe Premier, and that an arrange
ment was actually made or offered the arbi
trator oi 2 per cent upon all sums accorded
by him to Whelan. The arbitration "gave
Whelan 5155,000, and it is over the division
of this amonnt between Whelan and his
late partner, Daniel Ford, that the details
of the boodling have come ont. No record
of payments made by Whelan in late years
can be lound. for books are missing, and he
claims that payments of snms aggregating f
5100,000, of which he was bled by politi
cians, cannot, for obvious reasons, be es
tablished by him.
The unsavory part of the scandal is that,
though a change of government took place
three years ago, Whelan seems to have suc
ceeded equally well in bribing both parties,
while in power, to recognize his extortionate
demands. He claims that while the Legis
lature was ip session last February he paid
510,000 to Ernest Pacaud lor the purpose of
having his item of 5155,000 pass the House.
This item was included, according to the de
cision of the arbitrator, in the Government's
estimates of expenditure, and Whelan
claims that Pacaud notified him that the
item would be withdrawn from tbe esti
mates unless he handed over 510,000.
CLOSE TO THE PREMIER.
Pacaud is the confidential friend and ad
viser of Premier Mercier. He edits L'EUo
tear, the Premier's personal organ, is his
election organizer and Secretary-Treasurer
of his party's Chief Executive Electoral
Committee. Pacaud admits reception of
the 510,000 from Whelan, but states that its
object was to buy off the opposition in the
House, not on the part ot his own and Mer
cier's political friends, but on the part of
their conservative opponents. He says he
did not keep, the money, but gave it to a
friend of th'e opposition, and in corrobora
tion of his assertion points to the tact that
from the date the money was handed him
by Whelan in Montreal the opposition to
the item in tbe House ceased.
Every member of the opposition in the
House has, however, signed a declaration to
the effect that he never received the $10,000
or any part thereof. Whelan, too, denies
that he had anything to dread from the op
position, but declares th it Pacand simply
told him he mnst pay 510,000 or the item
would not pass, from which it was naturally
understood that tbe money was exacted for
friends or members ol the Government.
A MATTER OF HONOR,
Pacaud declines to give the name of the
party to whom he paid tbe 510,000 on the
pretense that it is a matter of honor, and
that he will go to jail rather than divulge
the secret Meanwhile there is nothing but
his own word to show that he disposed of it
at all.
Whelan produced telegrams that look as
if Mr. Mercier was a party to the whole
transaction. ImmediatelyafterMr. Pacaud
received the 510,000 from him in Montreal,
he (Pacaud) telegraphed Mercier in Quebec
as follows:
"O. K."
"And Mr. Mercier telegraphed back "O.
K." to Mr. Pacaud.
Mr. Lemieux, Mr. Whelan's secretary,
corroborates his employer's storv of the cir
cumstances under which the 510,000 were
paid.
