Shea has been purchased by the Indians.
Last heard of the Portland backstop

sumably Mike Lynch couldn't set along
wnnout jjanny.
Shea has been with Lynch for wr

at lacoraa lor three years, and then
moved over to Seattle, whete they were

Spokane, where "Baker and Shea'
prored a big factor in Spokane's Crat

winner In 110.
Later Shea went back to Seattle and
still later was given a trial by the San
Francisco Seals, only to land back in
tho -Northwestern League with Victoria
in 1912. when Mike Lynch signed to
manage the Bees in the Spring.
Now Lynch is boss at Spokane, and,
Jo and behold, Danny tiails along be
hind him.
Shea is wintering in Portland, and
says re Is Immensely pleased to get
back to Spokane. His stgrlng will
mean a releaao for either Hannah or
Altman. probably the latter.
first Aid to the crowd" measures
are being- applied to the Portland Pa

ball park, and by the tine the "play
ball" cry resounds from the field next
April 14 far.s can be assured that foot
ball qualifications will not be neces
sary to insure a seat in the park on the
Pig days.
One new turnstile Is being Installed
at the grandstand, and one In the
bleacher entrance, giving a total of six
at the main door, besides the two pass
gates, in addition three turnstiles are
being rigged out opposite first base at
the end of the right field bleachers,
and these will be utilized on opening
ami holiday occasions.
This will give a total of six turn
stiles for regular use, as against four
last season, and a maximum capacity
of nine turnstiles when the bleacher
auxiliaries are uncorked.
V
Dan Howley has been purchased
from Montreal by the Oakland Coast
club, according to news from the East
.Philadelphia paid Portland quite a
snug sum for "Long Dan" last Winter,
but Dan didn't make good.
In addition to a bunch of coin JIc-
Credle got from the Phillies Southpaw
Stanley and Catcher Loan, so it ap
pears that Mac didn't get the worst of
the barter.
With Howley to take Mltxe's place
on the backstopplng corps, the Oaks
shape up as follows at this stage of
the race:
Catchers. Howley and Alexander;
pitchers, Malarkey, Geyer, O'Brien,
Killllay. Prultt and Abies; first base,
Xess; second base, Devlin; shortstop.
Cook; third base, H'etling; outfield,
Mlddleton, Zacher and Coy; utility,
Ksylor.
Walter McCredie said on bis return
from Columbus that Devlin intended
releasing Buck O'Brien, but it seems
he hasn't done so yet.
Mlddleton halls from the Western
league, where he had a batting aver
age of .360. and is being groomed for
left field. Hank Butcher hit .33 for
Denver last year, and here's hoping
for Oakland's benefit that Mlddleton
Kets off better than did Butcher when
he came West for Portland from the
Naps.
Lou Nordyke, the veteran North
western Leaguer, is to coach the base
ball teams at the University of Wash
ington in the Spring. Horr has not
offered Lou the job as yet, but said
when In Portland last week that he
vould likely do so. The job pays
about $400 or 3500.
Harry Ostdiek doesn't know whether
he will umpire in the Northwestern
League next year.
"I have given the matter no thought
yet." said Harry, the other day in
Spokane. "I have not made application
to president Jones for reappointment,"
MILLIONAIRES ARE THICK
Kngland IIwk 4000 Who Pen Bank
Hoik In Seven Figures.
LONDON. Dec. 10. There are now,
according to the Inland Revenue Com
missioners, more than 4000 millionaires
in the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Ireland. That is to say, there
are 4143 Britons with an Income of
SiO.000 or more a year. Such &n in-t-onie
capitalized at 4 per cent equals
11.000.000. and it is on this basis the
commissioners make their estimate.
A "millionaire" in Great Britain is a
person who possesses a million pounds
sterling, equal to $5,000,000, or the
equivalent thereof in income I2i0, 000.
Of this class there are no fewer than
211, Judged by their Income returns,
of the number Sis have Incomes of
J'.'CO.OOO to 3325.000: 37- have incomes
of 3323.000 to 3360.000: 53 have in
comes of S3t0.000 to tSOO.OOO. and
have Incomes of I500.OOO or over.
There are ll.fOO Britons with 125.000
or over yearly income.
Last year 10S British estates of 31.
000.000 or over paid death duties; and
In the past 10 years death duties have
been paid on no fewer than 81 es
tates which have been individually
valued at 35.0oo.000 or more.
What a tremendous amount of Brit
ish money is invested abroad is shown
by the fact that the income alone last
yesr drawn by Britons from their for
eign securities totalled 3520,000,000.
REQUESTS OUT FOR NUNS
Parisian Petition for Their Return
to Hospitals as Xorses.
PARI3. Dec 10. Efforts to have
nuns restored to their old places as
hospital nurses are unceasing. This
week a great petition to this effect,
bearing 167,343 names of citizens of
Paris and the environs, wis presented
to the Municipal Council. As the hos
pitals are about to be reorganized, the
petition asks that places be reserved
for the sisters, and says:
"The petitioners have no political
design; our sole desire la to permit
slek persons who ask to be attended
by the sisters to have their wish. We
do not wish to interfere with the
rights of the present staff of the or
ganization, but we think that patients
have also a right to express their
wishes, and that their rights are equal
to loose of the staff."

AVLOXA. Albania, Dec 10. (Special.)
Among the many serious questions
awaiting solution In this country the
most pressing, for the moment, is that
of the maintenance of the great host
or refugees who have fled from Alba
nian regions occupied by Servians and
Greeks. The number or these has great

practiced by the Servians after the re
cent Albanian revolt In the district of
Dlbra, where numerous Albanian and
Bulgarian villages were tetallv er n.rt-
ly destroyed, and some weeks ago ex
ceeded 100,000.
After the withdrawal of the Serbian
troops from the districts on thla aide

Austro Hungarian ultimatum, many
thousands returned to their ruined vil

providing food and shelter for the
nomeiess fugitives .has become urgent.
In the course of a tour through the
districts of Kroia, Tirana. Klbasan and
Berat a correspondent had an oppor
tunity of personally Investigating the
condition of these unfortunate people
ana ot witnessing their misery. 6ev-
rai villages on this side of the fron
tier were burned by the Servians after
the receipt of the ultimatum. Devasta
tion was everywhere visible In the dis
tricts traversed by the invaders. About
7.000 refugees had arrived at Tirana
from the Dlbra district. Some . 6000
have returned to villages on the Alba-
ian side of the frontier, but 12.000 re
main, of whom a large proportion are
totally destitute.
The Servian troops during their re
treat put to death a great number of
ead men of Albanian villages. In some
instances wholesale' executions took
place, scores of prisoners being bound
and shot or dispatched with the bay-onet.
NSURANCE FIELD IS LARGE
4)
ewer Than One-fifth of Adult Eng
lishmen Have. Policies.
LONDON. Dec. Id. England is still
almost a virgin field for the life ln-
urance agent.
According to an article In the Stat is:
The natiun's income haa doubled In
the last 30 years, but the premium In
come of the life offices In this period
as Increased 221 per cent. From all
the data available it is apparent that
he savings of the British people for
the current year will not be far short
of 3J.000.000.000. which is equal to
nearly 345 per head of the population.
in the pa-it year the total contribu
tions made by the nation for the pur
poses of life assurance amounted to
about 3260.000.000.
Excluding interest on Investments
and calculating only the premium in
come of the life offices, the country
now paying more than $5 a head a
ear for life assurance premiums.
against 32 a head 30 years ago.
The number of ordinary policies for
urns of more than SaO Issued at the
present time is only slightly below
.000,000. the average a policy working
ut at about 31415.
If allowance be made for duplicate
policies, the number of persona In
ured for any amount that would make
moderate provision for wife and chll-
ren probably does not exceed 2.000.-
000, and may be even less, as those
who Insure usually possess several pol
teles. .
Thus only about one-fifth of the
male population Is yet able to make
reasonable provision against the un
known future, and the remaining four
fifths make practically no provision
whatever.
