WITH THE LEAGUE
LEADERS IN C|NCY
LOOKS AS IF PEACE BETWEEN THE
NATIONAL AND AMERICAN WE'RE
IN SIGHT AT LAST.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Cincinnati, Jan. Io.-After being in sep
arate conference last night and again this
morning at their respective hotels, the Joint
conference of the committees OF the Ma
tional and American Baseball leagues was
resumed at II a. m. today. The drift of
sentiment before the conferees went into
executive session was that both sides had
carefully considered the different questions
since adjournment last night, would adopt
some specific order of business today and
proceed in a parliamentary way on mo-
tions to consider the different matters in
dispute and If favorable action was Sc
cured with unanimity on the leading points
at issue, then the attorneys would draw
up some peace pact" in accordance with
the motions carried for final adoption.
The meeting opened today with all feeling
cheerfully hopeful, quite different from the
meeting yesterday when each side doubted
the sincerity of the other and neither side
could see any prospect Of accomplishing
any peaceful results.
None but the eight conferees were ad
mitted to the conference room again TODAY.
Among the additions to the groups in the
lobby today was Pat Powers OF New York.
president OF the National Association of
Ball clubs. He is advocating another con-
ference soon between the committees of
National and American leagues on one side
and of all minor leagues from contract
jumping. He wants the old national al
lance re-established under more restricted
provisions.
Looks Like Peace
Shortly after ! o'clock the doors of the
conference were opened wnen Chairman
Hermann said the conference had agreed
on all leading matters at issue and would
proceed with details and construction of
articles of agreement and conclude its
work before taking any recess. He re-
fused to give any details and insisted that
the conferees would have nothing to give
out of the ordinary until or o'clock
tonight.
1t is generally understood that the terms
Of the peace agreement are as indicated In
these dispatches last night, that the line
was drawn on the conditions existing at
the time of the truce proposed at the meet
ing in New York last month, and that the
conference refused to go back into what Il
called "The ancient history of grievances
considering nothing that ante dated the
recent trust.

jury was issued by Judge Willard Nc
Evan late yesterday upon a petition by
the states attorney, declaring its belief
that there exists among certain coal op-
orators, owners and dealers combination
injurious to the public trade" and that
in consequence great distress and suffer
ing prevails among the poor III the COM
