Hu1te Takes HIS Grievance TO q Judge
Proceedings Of the Magnates.
Chicrgo, Nov. 13.-Failing to secure his
release from the New York Base Ball club,
at the hands of the National League, Amos
Rusie, the famous pitcher, filed bill for
an injunction in the federal court yester-
day morning in order to secure
his relase by legal process. Incidentally
Rusie's application to the court means
more than his personal release, If granted.
1t would mean that the right of reserva.
ton exercised by the base ball clubs has
no legal standing, and make an open field
at the close ct each season for the contract
ing of players for the following season.

ing Of the board of arbitration in New
York. at which the board decided to
extend its jurisdiction so that it would
include cases similar to the appeal in
the Western League. The same board
was reelected for another year. A new
board of directors was chosen, the play
ing rules committee appointed, and
Nick Young was reelected to serve
Tor term of four years in addition
to one year of his present term which
he Still has to serve. The vote con-
tinuing Young in Office was unanimous.
The board of directors chosen
consists of Friedman, Wagner, Soden,

The playing rules committee is COM

Pleads Ignorance.

Arnold, Arrested ON Suspicion,
Pleads Ignorance.
Charles Wilson, stranger from Min
neapolis, thinks an attempt was made
to hold him up at the corner of Third
and Wabasha streets, Thursday night,
and man giving the name Of j. Il.
Arnold was arrested for the alleged
crime. Wilson was also detained as a
witness in the case. According to his
story he was walking along West
Third street, when two men who were
approaching from the opposite direc-
ton split and forced him to walk
between them. AS he did so, Wilson
claims one of the men struck him a
powerful blow in the face, knocking
him to the sidewalk. He was not rem
dered unconscious, however, and at
once jumped to his feet, when he says
that one of the men remarked to his
companion, Come on, let's get out of
this. We cannot get him; you did not
hit hard enough" With that the men
turned away and Wilson ran down
Wabasha street to Fourth, where he
met officer Houska- Together they
went in search of the supposed high
waymen, and met them coming around
the corner. The men who struck Will
son took to their heels, but Officer
Hcuska caught the man claiming to be
who struck him. Arnold denied any
connection with the affair, and refused
to give the name OF his companion.
When the case was called in the
police court yesterday morning, AS
sistant Attorney Oppenheim. as is GUS
tomary on holidays, moved to dismiss
the case. Here the second tilt between
Mr. Oppenheim and Lieut. Boerner,
representing the police department, &C.
Cured over the same matter. Lieut..
BoeTner objected to allowing a man to
be released from so serious a charge
simply because it was Christmas, and
maintained that Arnold should be held.
as the police were of the opinion that
he had been guilty Of attempted high
way robbery.
Mr. Oppenfleim was very indignant
at the so-called interference Of Lieut..
Boeruer, and angrily resented his re-
marks to the court, claiming that a
police officer was not entitled to such
a privilege when the city prosecutor
had moved to dismiss the case. Not
Withstanding the wordy war which fol-
lowed, Judge Twohy held Arnold until
today
Arnold is a we'll dressed young man,
and bears the appearance of respecta-
bility, though accused of being a foot
pad. Wilson, too, is Of good appear
ance, and tells the story of the alleged
assault with the evident belief that
he was attacked for the purpose of
robbery. In proof Of his encounter he
carries a swollen and lacerated lip, as
a result of the blow which knocked
him down. Several of the police Off
Gals are Of the opinion that the affair
was nothing more than a street fight.

MORRIS SELF,s sCRAPE.
Arrested at a Bal Masque at Market
Hall

Morris Self, somewhat known locally
as boxer and physical instructor
was arraigned in the police court yes
terday nominally on the charge of dis
orderly conduct, though 1T is claimed
by the police that there is evidence Of
a far more serious charge against him.
Self was arrested at Market hall early
yesterday morning after a masquerade
ball, locked UP in room In company
with girl named Lizzie Evans Ser
geant Mccarthy says that she drank
several glasses of wine with Self and
remembered nothing more until the
police broke in the door of the room
where Self and she were found.
The arrest was made upon a report
of the janftor of the building, who in
formed the police that when he was
closing up the hall he heard some one
talking in supposed empty room.
1t Is customary in the police court
to release all prisoners on a holiday
who are arraigned for minor offenSes,
and it was the desire Of Assistant At
torney Oppenheim to thus dispose Of
the Self case, but Lieut. Boerner, rep
resenting the police department, de-
clared such a course, under the cir
cumstances, would be an outrage This
statement angered Mr.. Oppenheim.
who said that he had investigated the
case and knew that the affair was
nothing more serious than disorderly
conduct. The assistant attorney was
very Wroth at what he termed the
dictation OF the police department in
connection with his duties, but finally
cooled down, when Judge TWohy up
held Lieut.. Boerner by holding Self
for further examination

Sufferers Were Reminded Of Their
Great BenefactOr.

Christmas was appropriately OBJ
served at the hospitals yesterday, in
each of which trees We're arranged for
confined children, and presents dis

whose condition permitted Of such
pleasantly. At the city hospital the
children We're assembled in the nursery
and the traditional tree lighted for their
entertainment. The little patients en-
joyed the occasion immensely, and
when DIR. Richie entered the room at
tired as Santa Claus, with a pack of
candy and presents ON his back. their
cup Of joy was full indeed. Santa
Claus distributed his gifts to the
young invalids in the presence Of the
hospital staff, whose pleasure was al
most as keen as that Of the children.
A separate tree was provided for the
children In the contagious ward, SO
that none of the little folks might be
disappointed.
The officials Of both st. Luke's and
st. Joseph's hospitals also prepared
trees for their young patients, and a
number Of visitors were present to
witness the pleasure which Christmas
brings, even to those in affiictfon. Gifts
of friends to patients were also distrib-
uted
