ON AGAIN, OFF AGAIN LIVE WIRES IN SENATE
MORE TROUBLE BETWEEN BIG
 LEAGUES.
Eastern Division of National League Refuse to Sign Peace Pact and
 Cincinnati and Pittsburg May
 Make American 10-Club League

Cincinnati.- Jan. 13.-When the con ferees of the National and American Baseball Leagues adjourned here last Saturday night nothing was heard but declarations of peace. The National con ferees were as confident as the American. although the former did not have pleni- potentiary powers The spell was un- broken until midnight when John T. Brush at Indianapolis. was heard. from regarding. the dissatisfaction of the New York club. On Sunday there were ru- mors from the Brooklyn club. on Mon day from the Boston club and today from the Philadelphia club. the two latter not being regarded as serious If the four eastern clubs should hold out next Mon day against the Pittsburg,4 Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis clubs the result would he tie. which Is held to be the same as a negative vote. When it was announced on SatuAday night that the agreement then reached. was practically final. it was thought that Barney Drey- ftIs was here representing Philadelphia as well as Pittsburg. but Colonel Rogers and other Philadelphia interests are re- ported now as saving Dreyfns had no power to bind them. 1t was thought that the vote on ratification next Monday would never be less than five to three and most probably six to two. as no opposi- ton was expected from Boston. What Is taken now 10 be most significant declaration Is that 4nade by; 'Hanlon who says:
 ''The peace agreement cannot be ratified hy a majority vote of national league club owners under the national leagues constitution. .H-',
 Notwithstanding the adverse reports that are current Hermann and Robinson say they are still confident that the national league next Monday will ratify the agreement. 7. 70. .
 soden of Boston. is counted on as for ratification.
 August Hermann. president of the Gin cinnati club said today. according to The Times-Star that if the National League at its meeting next Monday did not ratify the peace pact with the American League he would get out of the national.
 J. F. Bruce, attorney for President Ban B. Johnson of the American League St. Louis American team said If the National League did not ratify the peace compact that the Cincinnati Club would be taken care of.
 If New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston should refuse to enter into the agreement 1t is said there will be a split in the National League which will result in the owners desiring peace with the American League on the basis agreed upon joining hands with the American and. completely severing all connection with that branch of the National repre- scented by the objeeting faction. The plan suggested by President Johnson of ten club circuit might be carried out by having the western circuit made up of Cincinnati. Chicago, St. Louis. De- troit and Cleveland and the eastern division of Boston, New York, Philadel- phia, Washington and Pittsburg.

 SENT OUT.
Reception at Auditorium to Be Thrown Open to People of the
 state--Route of Parade :.
 Announced.

The citizens of Montgomery who are ar ranging the ceremonies attending the in-> auguration of Governor Jelks next Mon- day would have 1t perfectly understood that every citizen of Alabama Is invited to participate in each feature of the oc- casion and that no printed invitations are to be sent to any one.
 This was the unanimous sentiment which prevailed at a meeting of the Committee on Arrangements held at the rooms of the Commercial and Industrial Association last night.
 The occasion is to be given over to citi- zens of Ala bama and the citizens of Ala bama of every degree and station in lite are urged to come to Montgomery and participate.
 The great reception to be rendered Gov ernor Jelks at the Auditorium Monday night is an Alabama affair and every citizen of the State i5 invited to be pres ent without formal invitation. The Floor Committee will prescribe certain rules to be observed by persons who expect to dance on the floor but no restriction VIII be placed upon onlookers.
 The Committee on arrangements is so anxious that every citizen will understand that he is expected to visit Montgomery and participate in the inaugural cere- monies that the newspapers of the State are requestd to give the general invitation and information the widest possible cir culation.

BASEBALL SITUATION
 IN ALABAMA CAPITAL
Ragland'S Efforts to Have Montgomery in the Southern League Whistler Instructed
 to Sign Players.

though covered with honorable scars. and after weighing all the facts. 1t seems matter of simple justice that the Mont gomery franchise be given to MT. Rag land.
 When the directors of the Southern League held their meeting in Montgom- cry some months ago they were carried out to Pickett Springs and shown the site of the proposed ball park. How sat- isfied they were with all the arrange ments was proven by the enthusiastic manner with which they discussed 1t in their local newspapers after reaching their homes. On the suggestion of Alb Powell and some of the other directors. Frank Rim was signed that day to man. aga the local team. Now Lew Whistler had been signed to manage the Montgom- cry team in the outlaw league and 1t seems that the financial arrangement made with him by General Carncs was about the same as those made with the representatives of the different towns in the outlaw league. The pricipal reason Cor including MT. Semmes as one of the joint holders of the Montgomery fran- chise after the peace agreement at Bir- mingham was because General Carnes and Caruthors Ewing wished to fulfill their financial obligations with Whistler This was the reason that Lew Whistler has been named as the manager of the Montgomery team in the Southern League, Frank Rim being appointed by Judge kavanaugh as one of the umpires In the league. Notwithstanding the fact that the present muddle has seemed to block. things in Montgomery. Whistler has been instructed to so ahead with the work of signing players. and by this time 1t Is probable that he had gotten together a pretty fair aggregation, one that, to- gether with the pick of the old Chatta- nooga reserve bench. the names being given In The Advertiser Sunday morning. should make an unusually fast minor league team
 A telegram received by The Adver- tised from its Memphis correspondent at late hour last night stated that ali the votes on the .abrogaton of the Montgom- cry franchise had not been given In and that Judge Kavanaugh refused to an- nounce any of them until all were in. which will probably be today.

Even the derhzens of that prehistoric age of stone would have been touched by the awful sufferings in the past few days of that poor. misguided bird yclept the dove Of reace. Her cooing notes were changed to mournful cries while the beau- uful snow-white wings were filled with dirt-the tailfeathers were draggled. there was mournful droop of the proud head; in fact, 1t all had the ear-marks of case Of dope. President, Kavanaugh of the Southern League was madc acquaint- ca with these facts. and as he has done on several previous occasions, promptly hurried to the rescue of Southern base ball. With his usual clear-headed req soDing. he grasped the Montgomery situa- ton, and realizing the vital importance ot the magic word speed" he used seve:al cases of that valuable article. Being fully aware of the fact that the nCvc.ty. of the case required heroic treat ment. he acted-and acted quickly; and the result of his level-heaoed firmness VIII be to put baseball in Montgomery on plane at once substantial and suc- cessful-two things that were thoroughly impracticable and altogether impossible under the former novel joint franchise scheme. ,E
 From the day that Mir Rag!and first received the Montgomery franchise of the Southern League. he has worked in and out of season. early and late. to make the game 8 success here. He has paid Mont- gomery's prorata of the protection fund to the National Association, holding the receipt of former Secretary John B. Nick lin, and besides that has notified Presi- dent KavanAugh to draw on him for Mcntgomery's share of the money re- quired to reimburse Chattanooga
 When Mir. Ragland was first notified that the Montgomery franchise had been awarded to him. he stated to The Adver- tiser that he intended to stay with the Southern League through good and all; that if the league lived he would live with 1t. and If they fell he would fall with it. If the outlaw league had sue. ceeded in its attempt on the life of the Southern League. MT. Ragland. would have been out of the game as far as base ball in the South is concerned. As things have turned out, the Southern League after going through the fire, has come out

Cleaning Panama Hats.

Men who have not yet sent their last
years Panama hats to be cleaned are
likely to be late Corners, so far as sum
mer headgear is concerned. A Panama
takes about twice as long to clean and
rejuvenate as an ordinary straw hat, and
is, moreover twice as expensive. One
dealer in Madison Square notified Gus
toners last week that he could not take
any more for cleaning unless they were
left subject to delay of three weeks
One man who wanted to leave his hat
on one weeks Ieeway was told that there
were 5000 hats ahead of him. InGlIies
q other stores along Broadway revealed
the same condition of things. Two
weeks time was the shortest that any
dealer would take a Panama for cleaning.
AS it costs from 81 to $3.50 to clean and
retrim a Panama. one may form some
idea of the revenue from that source at
this season OF the year.-New York
Times.
