PRESENTED CHILD
 ID CLAIM ESTATE Countess KwiIecki Being Tried
 on Serious Charge ANOTHER W0MAN'S CHILD She Occupied the Witness Stand All During the Day and Wildly Ges-
 ticulated as She Answered
 Questions---Famous Case.
ANOTHER WOMAN'S CHILD

Berlin October 26.-The trial of Countess Isabella Weiserka Kwilecki, belonging to rich and aristocratic Polish family, on the charge of pretending to have born son over six years ago, and presenting him as the heir to an estate at Weioblewe, province of Posen, consisting of 10000 acres and having yearly rental roll totalling $l5,OO0, began here today. The count appears at the trial charged with being an accessory to the crime. The countess was arrested January P of the present year, and the count was taken into custody August D. One midwife and two women servants were also placed in the box as accessories.
 Countess Kwilecki is defended by sev- eral Polish lawyers. Very great interest is manifested in the case here, as the ac cused are well known in the higher aris- tocratic circles She was born in March, 1846, married the count in 1864, and bore him three children, the last in 1879. Then the count and countess claim the latter gave birth to son which is the cause of the arrest. The son is said to have been born January F, 1897. The prosecu- tion claims that the latter is the son of peasant girl, Pareze, in Austrian Silesia, who is present as witness and a claim ant for the child.
 The session of the court today was occupied with taking the testimony of the countess who is of aristocratic ap- pearance. She stood erect, holding a lorgnette in her right hand, and geshcu- lating excitedly with her left hand while answering questions put to her by the presiding judge. The countess pleaded not guilty, and sweepingly denied all complicity in any criminal act But the countess was finally cornered by the judge She was unable to give satisfac- tory explanations of many suspicious cir cumstances and some damaging accounts were brought out.
 The trial Is expected to last long time. t
 Count Mssjslaw Kwilecki, member of the Prussian house of lords, and his son, Count Hecktor Kwilecky, a member of the reichstag, contested as next of kin the legitimacy of the countess son about twenty years previous to her arrest, but after a sensational trial at Posen she wss acquitted and the countess and the count, her husband, continued to live quietly on the Polish estate, spending the winters in fashionable Berlin society. The pros ecuting attorney, however, continued his investigations, and it is said obtained fresh testimony and the re-arrest of the countess followed It is alleged that the countess had women of high rank as ac- complices. These, whose names have not been disclosed, are said to have procured an illegitmate child for her.

Lucas, president of the Pacific league T. H. Murnane, presi- dent of the New England league. and M. P. Sexton, president of the Western league.

 Title is Qualified,

Title is Qualified. From this section it will be seen that from September 1 to October b each year the title of every minor league club to its players Is qualified, and that any major league club has a positive right to draft any minor league player, providing the conditions of the above section are adhered to.
 Our finding Is that the drafting of play CTS during the prescribed term must take precedence over everything. and that in all instances where players have been drafted during the drafting period, and all of the conditions of section are compiled with, the players belong to the clubs by whom drafted.
 We find therefore, that the following players in addition to those about whom there is no dispute have been regularly drafted under the provisions of the agree ment and all conditions complied with. and belong to the clubs by whom drafted:
