BRUSH w1THDRAws INJUNCTION
Base Ball Peace Agreement May Be
Ratified Today,

Ratified Today.
1t was after s o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the National League magnates went
into session at Cincinnati The meeting
was set for 10 o'clock in the morning, at
which time both the minority and the ma
jority reports were to be submitted to the
league proper.
President Hermann was ready at that
time with the majority report, but Brush
and his followers retired to remote spot
in the hotel and. with the aid of blue pen
ellis. started in to reduce the report which
they had prepared the night before
This required seven hours While 1t was
going on Messrs. Hermann. Hart, Robson
and Dreyfuss were walking the lobby Of
the hotel. saying things to themselves about
Brush. 1t seems that the impression had
been created that Brush was purposely
wasting time in the hope OF firing out the
members Of the peace side of the league
But in this he failed. and 1t only served to
make them more determined to win.
Brush's first step after the league went
into session was to state that he had ar
ranged with his lawyers in Philadelphia to
withdraw the Injunction proceedings This
action was entirely voluntary. The with
drawal OF the Injunction was the first step
backward for the obstructionists. 1t was
plain that the New York and Brooklyn
clubs saw the handwriting on the wall
They seemed to realize that they would
have to submit to the action of the COM
mittee. regardless of their desire to get q
compromise.
When the player question finally came up
for discussion. the Brooklyn club contended
that 1t WOULD never consent to the ratifi-
cation Of the agreement unless it was given

New York club did not put in a claim for

citation Explained.
Lionel Fl. Graham OF the Baltusrol Golf
Club, was chosen president Of the New Jer-
sey State Golf Association at the annual
meeting in New York city yesterday, and
the various committees are to be named
by him at a later date. It Is Mr. Graham $
third term. Baltusrol was chosen as the
place for the annual championship and the
dates selected were June 4, and 6, provid-
ed they are sanctioned by the Metropolitan
Golf Association. Thirteen of the sixteen
clubs belonging to the association were rep
resented by delegates, and five new members
were elected as follows: Country Club Of
Atlantic City, Arsdale Golf Club, East
Orange; New Brunswick Golf Club, New
Brunswick, Cape May Golf Club and Mad
ison Golf Club.
Important action was taken regarding the
new handicap system for rating players
and the recommendation Of the executive
committee was unanimously carried The
change is radical one, and the new sys-
tenn promises to become the standard meth
cd for amateur handicapping throughout
the country.
Briefly. it is proposed that clubs adopt as
basis for their handicappng the par score
Of their links Theoretically this system is
correct. In practice, however. 1t will be
found impossible to represent accurately
the playing values of different holes in
whole figures. In fact, Mr.. Graham ex-
planned that where there Is any unusual
discrepancy the members Of the handicap
ping committee will personally play over
course in order to determine the proper
par score.
Club handicaps, as rule, are at present
based on the boyle Of the course or the play
Of some scratch player. This system Is in
accurate and inadvisable from a handicap
committees point of view because boyle
is altogether too elastic. On the other
hand par Is based entirely on the playing
length Of hole, and in using the par score
the association is to make use Of the fol-

The Saengers thought they were gone in
the second game, since the Business Men
were so close up from the very outset
that the Germans could feel their hot
breath, but they managed to pull out by a

the final frames, and but for a missed

William kirmse, a member of the
bridge gang working near Littleport,
was taken suddenly i'll Thursday night
with cramps and kind of cholera.
His case was SO severe that he had
to have the members of the crew
wait upon him and Mr.. Clifford was
called and consulted. He told them
he had medicine in the form of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy that he thought would
help him out, and accordingly several
doses were administered with the re-
suit that the fellow was able to be
around next day. The incident speaks

LESS WHEAT WILL BE
PLANTED FOR NEXT YEAR

The general crop summary for the
week just closed according to the
agricultural bulletin for Illinois is as
follows:
Rainfall, in ample quantity, occur
red in nearly all sections during rhe
week, a few localities only, reporting
lack of moisture. The soil is in good
condition, and considerable fall pillow
ing has been done. Reports Indicate
decreased acreage will he planted
in wheat. The temperature has been
below the seasonable average, the
mean daily deficiency ranging from ,
to 5 degrees, according to locality.
Corn has made advancement, but the
growth has not been commensurate
with the backward condition of the
crop. The nights have been too cool
for rapid growth Conjecture is al
ready advanced that the ripening Of
much of the crop depends upon the
late occurrence of frost. Some fields
are in such a backward stage that
fodder only will he secured. The
pressing need of the crop at the pres
ent time is warm weather.
The threshing of oats is still in pro-
gress but the work has been delayed
by wet weather. The output is very
uneven. ranging from average to
very light yield. The quality is gener-
ally good. but considerable complaint
is made of light weight grain.
Favorable reports are received with
regard to the quality and yield of

EXPRESS EMPLOYEES MAY
YET DECIDE TO STRIKE

The eXpressmen of the country have
not abandoned their efforts to secure
an increase in wages, and it is posi-
BILE that strike may yet be ordered
in case there is no compliance with
the demands made some time ago.
NO radical action will be taken at
once" says II. c. Hill, financial secre-
tary of the eXpressmen. 1--WE shall try
to induce the committee of the COM
panies to reconsider their determine
tion not to treat with us. No strike
can be ordered except on vote of the
members.
1T seems to me that the companies
are standing out for what they call
the principle of the thing. They do
not wish to have anything to do with
us as a union. Our agreement is rea-
sonable. We do not ask for recogni-
tion nor for an exclusive contract.
The working conditions and terms of
are such as would ordi-
narily be observed by any concern.

pated by the companies, which pre-
pared for it by increasing their

rwo Cents Postare to EnrIand.

After years of negotiations it is be-
Heved now that two-cent postage be-
tween the United States and England
is about to be arranged. The enor-
nous increase in business between
these two countries during the past
few years justifies the reduction in
postage. The enormous increase in
the demand for Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the best evidence of its pop
ularity. Thousands of persons are
using it today for stomach, liver and
kidney disorders to the exclusion of
all others. because they have tried it

Five Year Lease.

The new city office of the Rock
Island System at 1929 Second avenue
is rapidly being rounded into a thing
of beauty as well as serving the re
quirements of the road as never be-
fore in this city.
The finishing touches will be COM
pleted III few days, and then the
public will be invited to formally in
spect the quarters, and mayhap City
Passenger Agent f. IL. P!ummer and
Commercial Agent L. l.. Goff will have
something in the line of circus lemo-
made to refresh the palates of those
who drop in On them during receiving
hours. This is not a promise, how
ever.
The Office has been leased for a
term of five years from Weyerhaeuser
IL Dcnkmann, the owners, and has
been rcmodelcd to meet the needs of
the reads business, new plate glass
front being one of the most attrac-
tive features.
The FURNISHINGS are substantial.
and mostly all new, the desks and the
like that were used in the old office at
1913 Second avenue having been made
over 10 harmonic with the new Ell
fects. All the furniture is quarter
sawed oak and the counter has Il
marble base Green prevails in the
wall decorative scheme.
Plenty of Light.
At the rear of the office proper Il
room has been Partitioned off for stor-
age purposes. Windows at the front
and east side afford excellent light
for the working force. Il feature lack
ing in many railroad offices.
Mr.. Plummer's desk is located at
the front at the left of the main en-
trance, while Mr.. Golf has the north
ern portion of the room. Both are
comfortably situated, and are most
proud and happy in their new sur
fOundings. c. {. Pratt, Jr, is Mr..

great satisfaction to those response
BILE for the opening of the downtown

road has been justified in the incrcas-
