HERMANN MEETS
DISCOUNTED ONES
Cincinnati Magnate Holds Conference
With Brooklyn Club Owners.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Although the
National league will hold a special
meeting at Cincinnati on Monday, a
majority of the magnates are in the
East, and several of them held an i'm
portant conference last night in this
city.
August Hermann, president of the
Cincinnati club, who was chairman Of
the National leagues peace conference
committee, was among the number. He
met Ebbets, Hanlon and Won der Horst,
Of the Brooklyn club, who are finding
serious fault with the treaty Of peace
established with the American league.
The Brooklyn men insist that Keller,
Donovan and Kitson shall be turned
over to them, and threaten to resort to
the courts.
John T. Brush. president of the New
York club, was expected in town to-
night, but up to late hour he had
not registered at the Victoria hotel.
Hermann is particularly anxious to
see Brush and convince him that in
losing Delehanty, Davis and Elberfeld
the New York club was not unfairly
treated.
Barney Dreyfuss will be here, to-
gether with Harry Pulliam, president
Of the league. 1t may turn out that
Soden and COnant, of Boston, will come
over for a preliminary conference be-
fore going to Cincinnati.

MONEY IS SENT
TO FINLAND
Sufferings of Famine-Strick-
en- Ones Appeal to
Relatives.

In the majority of the Norwegian
and Swedish churches in ST. Paul next
sunday collections will be taken up
Tor the famine stricken sufferers of
Sweden and Finland. Last year the
crops in these two countries were
total failure, and as result hundreds
are deSutute and in many cases dying.
Finland is the greatest sufferer, but
Sweden did not escape the scourge of
FAMINE, the northern part especially
being put to such straits that letters
from natives to relatives in the North
west tell OF famine and suffering un-
precedented
Because of 4 late spring, followed by
heaVy rains and much frost, hay, grain
and all kinds of vegetables fairly rot
TED In the ground, leaving the inhab-
1tantS with nothing to face the severe
winters. Bread of unripe grain, husks,
straw and bark is their only means Of
sustaining life, and in some instances
even this is lacking. Thousands have
already died and the mortality rate
is increasing.
Between the churches and individual
contributions st. Paul has already sent
$4,000 to the Fatherland and this will
De supplemented later by a general of
ferIng. The money is sent to Chicago
and there invested in food and provi-
slons, which are shipped to the suf-
ferers.
Finland is in Russia, but that coun-
try pays little attention to the Firms
within its borders. They are not even
permitted to emigrate, and every sub
terfuge possible is resorted to by the
inhabitants to escape.
Rev. Mr.. Sundquist, Of the Swedish
tabernacle, says reports received by
him tell Of terrible suffering His
church has already contributed nearly
$500. Many Of the other Swedish
churches have given like amounts.
minneapolis so far has sent $4,000 to
the sufferers of both countries.

SPECTATOR SUES
YALE STUDENTS
Man Who Was Relieved of Football
Tickets Wants to Recover.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 16.-
Three Yale students were arrested to-
day in a civil action brought by Sid
ney Troeder, of Roxbury, Mass, a
speculator, who sold tickets for the
Yale Harvard football game last fall.
The students are Bradford Els
worth, of New York; William R. Ortiz
vein, Of st. Louis, and Harold NJ
Sawyer, of Bridgeport, all members of
the senior class in the academic de-
partment. Troeder claims that while
handling football tickets, on the night
of Nov. 20, he was assaulted by the de-
PENDANTS, and that diamond pin and
twelve tickets were taken from him.
He demands damages in the sum Of
$4,000. In the city court recently the
three students mentioned were con-
victed and fined for assault upon
Troeder. Bonds were furnished for
them today, and the case will come up
at the February term of the superior
court.

WISCONSIN SOLONS
MAY STOP FOOTBALL
Senator McDonough viii Probably In
troduce Bill to Prevent Contests.

MADISON, Wis, Jan 16.-There is
a probability that the celebrated foot
ball fight that is being waged before
the Milwaukee school board in the eff
fort to prohibit the game in the high
schools may find an echo in the legiS-
lative halls. There is now under CON-
sideration a proposition looking toward
the introduction Of bill which if en-
acted into a law would deprive Wis
consin university of one Of it's chief
glorieS, that of football.
Senator Frank McDonough, of Eau
Claire, and Attorney D. 0. Sanborn, of
Madison, are the moving factors so far
as the matter has progressed. It is I'M
derstood that Mr.. Sanborn has agreed
to draft a bill if Senator McDonough
will present it to the senate. Senator
McDonough said he had talked the
matter over with Mr.. Sanborn, but
had reached no definite agreement in
the way of legislation.
It seems certain that there will be
some attack made upon football before
the present session concludes it's DELHI
erationS. 1t develops that the MilWau
! kee agitation has attracted far more
serious attention than the friends of
football have been inclined to credit
and there is said to be surprisingly
large amount of sentiment throughout
the state favoring some depressing ac-
ton.
There has never been any serious or
| persistent agitation against football
| and the number Of legislators who
have had their attention attracted to
the sport as a dangerous game is largk.
! There is always number of members
who have never opposed the way in
| which athletics have been INDUCED at
| the state university and there is lit
tie doubt that if the persons behind
! the Milwaukee movement appeal to the
| legislature as they threaten to do they
| will not lack for champions.

CAPITALISTS BUY
COL. ROGERS TEAM
Figure Fixed and Transfer
Will Be Made at
Once.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 16.-To-
day saw rapid progress in the negot.a-
tons to purchase the Philadelphia
team. Mr.. Dreyfuss held conference
with Col. Rogers. The latter fixed his
figure. Mr.. Dreyfuss said it was salts
factory and final action now rests on
the capitalists associated with The
Pittsburg magnate.
Clarence Wolf virtually admitted
that he is to finance the deal. When
seen he said: cat present can neither
affirm nor deny the story. You may
say, however, that Mr.. Dreyfuss is my
personal friend and that What he says
goes with me-"
AS Mr.. Dreyfuss specifically men
toned Mr. Wolf ia his interview on
Wednesday there can be no reasonable
doubt that the web known broker Will
be one OF the clubs new owners.
Neither Mr.. Dreyfuss nor Col. Rogers
would divulge the price set upon the
club nor the manner of the transfer. 1t

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 16.-
That peace in baseball is still far off
was proved tonight, when President
Harry Pulliam, ofthe National league,
was served with an injunction re-
straining him from ratifying, at the
meeting of the National league to be
held in Cincinnati, beginning Monday
next, the agreement reached by the
joint peace conference of the Amer

The injunction was issued by court Of

Mr.. Pulliam left for Cincinnati to-
night He will consult the law firm
of which Senator Foraker is a mem

salvation of the National league.
He interested himself in the base
ball game just in time to save the

I will admit that it was hard for me
to decline the handsome offer and fu-
ture he held out to me-"

not one of the lot has ever had ex-

Little Better Than n Makeshift.
The bringing together of these men
as the active and responsible man
ayers of government presents in it,
self complexity as strange as any
discoverable In this land of complex
human mixtures and strange charac-
tiers. Under it the government as it is
to-day stands as a hodge-podge, little
better than a makeshift. Never was
this better demonstrated than on the
day when the treaty for the canal was
ratified. The men behind this govern
ment-Americans identified with the
Panama Railroad-never better evil
denced their apprehensions as to the
future. They know that those holding
official positions are not the sort Of
men in whom reliance can be placed
for accurate direction, and so eager
have they been to establish contrac-
tural relations with the United States
by means of the canal treaty that it
was at first planned to land the treaty
from the steamer City Of Washington
at Colon at O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, rush it by special train to Pan
anna, have it ratified by the junta and
the cabinet, rush it back to Colon by
special train and send 1t back to
Washington by the steamer Yucatan,
which sailed at noon yesterday for
New York. This was the railroad s
own proposition, conceived in its
eagerness to bring about a condition
under which the United States rather
