CHICAGO, Nov. lett is up to the Board
of Arbitration of the National Association
of Minor Leagues to decide at a meeting
to be held tomorrow morning whether
there shall be peace or war between the
American Association and the Western
League. The peace conference to-day,
which did not adjourn until 9 o'clock to-
night, failed to change the situation.
The American Association-all clubs being
represented, Indianapolis by w. II. Wat
kins and Charles Ruschaupt-met at the
Auditorium Hotel this morning and received
the report of Watkins and Bryce, who rep
resented the association at the New York
meeting.
The association decided to make no
changes in the proposition for peace and to
stand by the original proposition-for the
Western League to vacate Kansas City and
Milwaukee and the association to give w.
II. Van Brunt, of the Western League, a
half interest in the Kansas City association
club.
The Western League met yesterday and
decided to submit a new proposition-to pay
the association SIC, 1000 to vacate the two
cities, but not to sell out.
The two propositions were submitted to
the Arbitration Board, which went into ses-
sion at 4 o'clock. President Hickey was
called before the board to tell the history
of the organization of the American Asso-
citation. he showed that the association,
and not the Western League, was entitled
to Kansas City and Milwaukee. Van Brunt
was not present, but was represented by
President Sexton, of the Western League.
Sexton said he would vote as a member
of the board. If the matter came to a vote.
No vote was taken.

ISOLATION will stand pat. 1t will not accept
any amount of money to vacate Kansas

fight with renewed energy before relin-
gushing the cities. The Western League
says it will not accept the American Asso-
cations proposition. 1t is believed that a
Arbitration favor peace, and unless a Gem
promise can be made-and Hickey says 1t
can't-the board will no doubt declare peace
over Van Brunt's wishes. 1t may be neces-
sary to force the Western League out OF
the National Association TO do this. The

not voted on. IL the board does not de-

schedule. The Western Leagues second
proposition is that the American Associa-
ton give up Kansas City and the Western

YOUNG WOMAN'S BRAVERY
SHE STRUGGLED WITH A NEGRO
WHO ATTEMPTED TO ROB HER.
Later She Notified the Police by Tele.
phone, and They Captured
John Daniels.

Miss Jennie Gunit is a heroine in police
circles. She is the young woman who was
attacked by a young negro on North Ala
bama street Saturday night. His purpose
was robbery. He saw her chatelaine purse
and seized it. Miss CUNT did not faint.
Neither did she run away She seized the
chain with one land and the negro's throat
with the other. He struggled and found
that she was a match for him in nerve and
strength. 1t required an extraordinary eff
fort for him TO get away.
Miss CUNT did not even then faint. She
gritted her teeth and hunted a telephone.
She called Bicycle Patrolmen Griffin and
Hull. She calmly and lucidly told them
accurately about the negro and they were
SO inspired by her description n so full
OF admiration for her conduct that they
went out and found the negro without much
difficulty.
The negro is John Daniels and Miss CUNT
positively identified him as her assailant-
The police think a little more of nerve and
promptness like hers would lessen the as
saults of this kind.

OF the unusually large number OF divorces

ing the term that closed last week. and
because of public criticism by a prominent
local attorney 10 the effect that che MIN
listers are largely to blame for irydiscrim-
inateIy marrying any couple presenting
itself without any inquiry as to- morals
previous marital relations, ETC., rhe Rev
William p. Pearce, pastor Of the FIRST Bap-
fist Church OF this city, tonight preached
a sermon on wholesale Divorce
He said that the conditions. plain as
they are painful. reveal the fact that
America is the land of wholesale divorces
and that this Is one of our greatest
scourges. In this state statistics snow that
there are 10 per cent. as many divorces
as marriages, while in lkhar county alone
there have been 102 divorces on the Circuit
Court docket within a year, two-thirds or
more of which have been granted. The
causes OF divorce he ascribed to lack OF
home training, too much liberty for chill
dren and too youthful marriages, also the
secularization of marriage and divesting 1t
OF its religious character. Instead Of grant,
ing divorce for cruel treatment, one OF
the most common causes, he advocated pun
ishment by the courts; nonsupport by send
ing the guilty one to the ~workhouse; habit
ual drunkards TO the stoneyard and those
who sell to them TO be heavily fined or i'm
prisoned; the bigamist to the penitentiary
and the home destroyer also summarily
punished.
AS the remedy, he thought, more uniform
and righteous enactments by our legisla-
lures, less pliable laws, good counsel on
the part OF the lawyers. more firmness on
the part of the judges. less publicity by
the press, a recognition Of the difference
between legal separation and legitimate d.
vorce, but more particularly he considered
advisable the establishment Of a marriage
board, as advocated by Attorney Aaron
s. Zook. of this city, consisting of five in
telligent ard good men and women, to re-
ceive the application of persons contem-
plating marriage six months before the
license is 60 be granted and thus fOrestall
hasty and thereby often prevent ill-advised
marriages.
Unless the American people study this
sociological subject and do something to
stem this increasing divorce tide" he
said, "our} blood-bought and blood-conse-
Grated Republic will go down through de-
cay of thei family. as did ancient Assyria,
queenly Persia, majestic Rome and beau
1iful Byzattium."
