Will Hear Controversy.

Cincinnati, November 17-The statement given out in Chicago during the recent meeting of the national association to the effect that the national commission would refuse to hear either side of the contro- versy between the National association and Eastern league and American asso- ciation was branded as untrue today when Chairman August Hermann of the na- tional commission announced to President Powers of the Eastern league and a com mittee from that league that the national commission was ready and willing to hear either or both sides of the contro- versy at any time. MT. Hermann added, however, that what action would be taken when the case was heard would depend, first, upon what power the commission had and on the merits of the case. How ever, this insures the "bolters'' hearing before the supreme body of baseball.

DR. STILLMAN ON
 HUMANITARIAEISM

New Orleans, November 17.-An address by Dr. William o. Stilman of Albany, N. Y, national president, proved the principal feature of the opening day of the American Humane associations S2d annual convention, in this city. pr. Still man devoted himself to the work of the various societies which make up the asso- citation and explained the nature of their work
 ''If I were asked to name one of the greatest failings on the part of humani- tarians generally in relation to their cause' he said, q should say it lay in lack of appreciation of it's import ance and dignity as an essential part of the greatest force now claiming the in stitutions of men for it's own. It is sim ply loving all their fellow-creatures as themselves and showing it. great moral awakening which is causing hu- manity to blossom with the fairest flow CTS of disinterested helpfulness, and teach ing the children the beauty of mercy, justice and peace.
 "Without any doubt, the most import ant individual work which can engage the anti-cruelty world today is humane education and campaign for Its intro duction into our schools everywhere. By humane education we simply mean that the heart shall be cultivated as well as the mind. Brain culture will make bright citizens, sharp merchants, keen business men and possibly rogues and accom- plished scoundrels. We wish to have children taught their moral obligations and duties, particularly toward those who are more helpless than themselves.''
