KELLEY BOOZE OVER
| FRIGHTENED THREE
Magnates Keep Apart in an
Effort to Keep the
..F Peace.

Special to The Journal.
Milwaukee, March PA week ago
it was the general opinion among base
ball men that regular meeting of the
American association would be held
in Chicago on March 26 and that the
owners would vote on the question of a
president for the year 1906. Of course,
an election Of this kind is really I'M
necessary, as President j. D. O'Brien
holds over for another year by virtue
Of deadlock between the two factions
in the association. President O'Brien
would have preferred to be elected in
the regular form and to get the various
magnates together once more, but there
is feeling now that it will be better
to let matters stand as they are and
take no more chances of having another
rupture, which might result if an effort
was made to hold meeting Of all the
magnates on the day mentioned.
When the board Of directors met in
Chicago last Sunday they appointed a
committee to draft schedule and pre-
sent the same to the association for
adoption. It was intended at that time
to hold meeting in Chicago Monday
for the purpose Of adopting the sched-
uIe, but it is evident that some Of the
magnates are skeptical about going that
far just prior to the opening of the
baseball season. However, the commit
tee in charge Of drafting the schedule
is very well agreed as to dates, etc.,
and it is just possible that meeting
of, all the magnates will be held in
Chicago either Monday or Tuesday.
| Would FIJI ht It Out.
There are a few Of the magnates
who would prefer to have all the own
ers gather in a room at the Grand Pa
cifc hotel in Chicago and thrash out
their troubles to finish and let the
victorious side run the association to
the best Of their ability. They are of
the opinion that this continual wrang-
ling will do much harm to the associa-
ton in the end, and for that reason
they prefer to have settlement of
some kind rather than to keep up the
eternal war that has been going on for
the past year. The great fear just now
, is that in case Of regular meeting
> the Kelly matter would come up for
consideration and might result in the
exploding Of another bomb, and as
President Kelly of the Minneapolis
club has threatened to tie up the as
,, ISOLATION with injunctions in case an
effort was made to bar him from the
;, playing bench during the season, it is
plain that the more reasonable mag
: mates want to avoid an experience OF
this kind!
Directors May Act.
In the event of no meeting being
:. held the board Of directors will adopt
! schedule as prepared by the commit
tee and take mail or telegraphic vote
t on the same. In this manner the sched
ule can be adopted without the risk
Of any smashup at league conference
The baseball fans who take an Interest
in the association affairs would much
prefer to see the magnates get togethel

Big Bill Sullivan to Scrap with the
Amateurs.

Special to The Journal ~
Milwaukee, Wis, March 24.-The
American association umpires will have
ample training before the opening Of
the regular season on April 18. Presi.
dent O'Brien has advised each one Of
the staff to get all the practice possible
previous to the opening Of the season,
as he considers it just as important to
have the umpire 60 thru some prellm-
mary work as the players. Accordingly
the umpires have notified President
O,Brien that they will offciate at exhi-
bition games as follows:
John j. Egan, exhibition games at
Toledo.
Jack Haskell, games at Kansas City.
Clarence Owen, games at Columbus.
Steve J. Kane, games at Louisville.

Are the Railro a DIS G Q ttin q
Arrogant Again

Into the numerous complaints
that have been received that rail
roads are increasing dividends
while failing to give adequate car
service the Interstate COmmerce
Commission which is holding ses7
sions in Washington, is about to
start one of the most impOrtant
Investigations in its history. 1t
will take up the question of in-
creased dividends in connection
with assertions that they are the
result of unduly high rates. In
connection with the shortage Of
cars there are intimations that
some shippers are favored at they
expense of others.
One point that is made by many
complainants is that where rail
roads are practically in combina-
tion, as is the case with the anthra-
cite lines, instead of taking all the
traffic they can get and providing
Facilities Tor 1t. they are saving
money on rolling sto k and favor
oring certain shippers in certain
localities. Ii This can be estab-
lished it will prove The existence
OF u widespread EVIL that the rate
bill was designed to check, and
make necessary recommendations
to Congress for the passage OF a
law empowering the commission
to compel railroads to supply cars
and rolling stock for all traffic
offered.
Another thing that might well
6e looked up is the new practice
of having shippers when ordering
cars, make known in advance the
exact parties to whom they will
be shipped. as we'll. of course. az
their destination. The latter
would not be so Objectionable, but
to furnish the former information
would be to give the transporta
tion companies a little too mucl
leverage and a great deal to,
much possible power over tn,
business of the customer. 1t il
said that a certain railroad alreael,
adopts such system and on Ger
tain occasions holds upthe deliver,
of empty cars intended for custc
mers who are on the railroad
black list. Certainly this is
case for the Interstate OOmmerc
Commission.
