SESSIONS RESUMED.
National Board of Baseball Arbitration
 Meet In New York.

New York, October 2s.-The National Baseball board of arbitration resumed it's sessions today The board had before 1t representatives of the Western league and American association trying to find an amicable solution of the difficulty. Late tonight it was announced that the board had taken an adjournment until tomorrow. without having found any definite plan of settlement.
 A fair and proper readjustment of the territory seems to be the stumbling block. It is explained that the American asso- citation with cities like Louisville, Colum-l bus and Indianapolis believed that the Western league should withdraw its teams from both Kansas City and Mill waukee. These are two of the best cities in the circuit of either organization. Last year each had rival clubs and financial disaster was the result to all hands. The Western league people are not over anx- ious to get out of either Kansas City or Milwaukee.
 The matter may be adjusted by the American Assiciation taking one of the cities and the Western league the other. Each organization would then take in an additional city to complete the circuit.

NEED MoROE VENTILATION. pr. D. E. Solomon Making Study of
 Question of Shipping Beef.

Washington, October 2s.-Dr D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal industry. has returned from a brief trip to Europe. made on a vessel devoted largely to the transportation of cattle on the hoof. The purpose was to study the effect of forced drafts for the venti- lation of cattle stalls on shipboard. Here tofore ventilation of these stalls has been secured only through tunnels, reaching to the decks. and as these have been much in the way there has been desire to do away with them.
 A system of ventilation by forcing air In by the use of electricity, therefore. has been devised. and 1t was for the purpose of making a study of this device that Dr. Salmon went aboard. His re- port has not been made public, but it is understood that 1t is favorable to at least a partial adoption of the new plan. He thinks that with the use. the number of tunnels may be lessened, and the elec- tricity used in conjunction.
