A BASEBALL CLASH.
American Association and Eastern
League Representatives Retire.

st. Louis, Oct. 23.-The expected clash
in the National associa ton meeting came
shortly after the opening of the session
and resulted in the American associa-
ton and Eastern league representatives
leaving the meeting. The fight followed
the election of officers for the ensuing
year and was the outgrowth OF the
smaller organizations having jus. as
much voting power as the 'tclass ~
league.
Shortly before 9 o'clock the banquet
began and the happenings were further
forgotten. In the list of officers elected
today there is only one 'class A. man
on the list. Sexton was reelected
member of the board of arbitration, but
he is not counted now as belonging to

II years to get decision. He left
the country about three weeks ago,
and has just been Informed of the out
come.
Mr.. Maklci came to Minneapolis on
account OF a dislike toward him in
the neighborhood OF Kishiner because
he expressed sympathy for the home
less Hebrews. His attitude was con.
sidered nihilistic by some, and, al
though he is not a Jew himself, he
thought he would be better OF in a
free country.
In 1886 a boy was born TO a noble
man living near Kishnief, and, accord.
ing to the custom. a nurse was hired
/ to have sole charge of the child until
he became old enough to be placed in
the schools. The nurse was COM
PEELED to sign contract binding her
to service for FIVE years. She did her
work faithfully for two years, and
then broke her contract by marrying
young workman who was often en-.
ployed at the nobleman's house. She
had, however, been so faithful to her
little charge and had done her work
so well, that tho man brought suit in
the provincial court to make her re-
turn and comply with her contract.
In the trial in the lower courts the
case was decided in favor of the girl,
but the nobleman had money, and the
case was carried up by those mystic
rious methods known only in Russia,
until It finally reached the highest
court of the land
This august body, called the high
synod, after considerable delay and
argument, rendered a verdict to the
effect that, inasmuch as the girl had
signed the contract, SHE must return
at once and fulfill It. Imprisonment is
the penalty for refusing to obey the
courts orders, and the girl, now
prosperous matron, is in a quandary
as to her next move, for the little boy
mentioned in the contract is now oerv.
ing his time in the Russian army. Mr..
Maklei says he does not know wheth.
er the high synod looked at the date
of the document of appeal. He is Wis.
