uonal and American leagues gained cur
roncy yesterday, when the statement was
made upon authority which appeared to
be reliable that plans were about completed

pected to bring disaster to the American
league. The proposed circuit is to include
clubs IN New York, Boston, Washington,
Baltimore. Louisville, ST. Louis, Indianapo-
lis and Milwaukee and meeting Is to be
held today to complete the organization
Arthur irgin is to have the Boston fran;
chise Al Sphinx the one In st. Louis and
Harry Quinn that in Milwaukee, while
Harry Pulliam will be awarded the Louis
vile plant The place OF the meeting,
which It IL believed will be held today, Is
not known. nor r. the personnel of the
hackers In Washington, Baltimore and New
York.
With the revival of the American associa-
tOn IL Is AYerred that both minor leagues
planned the Western league and the West

declared on.

claims as a great victory.
According to this decision. brides need no
longer vow to obey their husbands at the
marriase ceremony. unless they choose to
do 20. The Privy Council declared 1t to be
optional with the female to omit the little
word that binds her to subject her will to
that of her liege lord.
The Society Of the New Woman worked
zealousiy for the removal of the objection
able term from the marriage form. and
the lawmakers Of Norway agreed to favor
them with a decision making the VOW OF
obedience optional.
As the new woman Is very strong. nu-
merically. in Norway. thanks to Henrick
1bsen and his theories of emancipation, 1t
will be Interesting to note how many women
will omit the binding clause over which all
this fight has been made and which was
strongly objected to by some of the Kings
councillors.
The society which has just achieved this
victory will keep satiseics Of all brides who
confine themselves to love and honor
their future husband and do az they please.

Of their own volition. agree to submissive
