secutive election and he was three

election" said Captain Christine
Evanson of the woman's corps, "be-
cause we believe him to be a kind,
Christian gentleman. He has al
ways had a kind word or some

could not vote, we did the only
thing we could, prayed for him"

Magnates Again at Peace
0'Brien to Train Umpires.
Special to Tho Journal.

Special to The Journal. &E.
Chicago, March 2e.--The adjourned
session Of the board Of directors Of the
American association was held today,
and matters pertaining to the organlza-
ton were considered without friction Of
any kind. The board prepared Its. re-
port and was called at 1880, with near
ly all members present. "a
The election of a president was first
on the program, and Joseph D. O'Brien
found no opposition after months of
nous Vote. The election Was the out
come Of number Of conferences in
which all the warning factions of the
association agreed that it was foolish
to jeopardize the interests Of the asso-
citation by longer delaying the election
of officers.
It was decided that the case Of Mi
chael Kelly, whose desire to be receg-
nized as president Of the Minneapolis
club caused deadlock at the last an
nual meeting, will not be taken up this
year.
The magnates were in a more pacific
mood than at any meeting held since the
spring Of 1905, and there are indica-
tions that they will get together now
and live In peace, at least for the bal
ance Of the season.
Columbus, Indianapolis, Minneapolis
and Toledo, which refused at first to
accept the schedule prepared, changed
their minds after considering the dates
thoroly, and they appear now to be sat-
isfed.
President O'Brien says he will call a
meeting Of umpires for Columbus or
Toledo just prior to the opening Of the
season, and give them final instructions
regarding rules, etc.

DEATH RATE HIGH
March List Will Be Largest in City's
3D. History.

March will have long death roll and
the list is likely to exceed 26O, which
will be the highest monthly record ever
reached in this city. Altho there have
been no epidemics there is an unex-
pected increase in deaths, which may
possibly be explained by the fact that
the city is larger than ever.
Of late there have been, an unusually
large number of deaths from tubercu-

There have also been more violent
