Furman Smith of the Carolina AssO-
citation advocated the adoption Of n fat
drafting price from the four classes Of
leagues. and the matter was referred to
the national board for action. This idea
was first advocated by President F. r.
Carson of the Central League, the idea
being that if player from a class ID"
league is considered worthy Of draft by
a major league club then he is worth as
much to that club a class "A" play
er.
A. ID. Helms of the Roanoke Virginia
League) club asked that the classified
ton of n league be based upon average
population of it's cities rather than upon
the entire population of its circuit. The
question was referred to the national
board. Helms advanced the theory that
the present rule did not do justice to
leagues having only four or six clubs
in their circuits.
Following Is the present basis OF clas-
sification and that proposed:

ALICE WEBB DUKE
IN POLICE COURT
Former Mistress OF Millions
Apparently Insane.

Chicago, Sept 2.--In the unkempt,
Illusion haunted woman whose fever
ish lips answered to the name of Alice
Webb Duke in Judge Gimmell's court
here there was little to remind the
spectators of the former wife of Bro
die l.. Duke, the millionaire tobacco
man.
Mrs. Duke was arrested charged
with having failed to pay a $40 auto
mobile bill. In her cell she sang for
hours snatches from grand operas.
Judge Gimmell, on the statement of a
physician that the defendant Is In.
sane, held her for examination as to
her mental state.
Does that mean l am irretrievably
insane?" pleaded the woman
mo, no; not at ALL" replied the
judge, as one answering child.
The former mistress of millions was
brought into court by policeman. In
her well worn brown skirt, soiled
shirtwaist and the neglected coiffure
which she attempted to smooth occa-
sionally with grimy hand she was
part and parcel of the sordid police
court picture.
Led to the bar the woman raised
her long, thin arms In a gesture of
supplication and In q low but distinct
ly audible voice repeated the Lords
prayer. Then she began singing
Nearer. My God, to Thee" in a re-
markably sweet voice.

MELVILLE DOUBTS REPORT

Such an Expedition.

Such an Expedition.
Philadelphia, Sept Rear Ad-
Smiral George w. Melville, U. s. ~.
kretired. who conducted several expedi-
lions into the Arctic regions, was in
8clined to discredit the report from
Copenhagen that the North pole had
been discovered by Dr. Cook.
II did not know Dr. Cook had an
Ioutfit available for that purpose" he
Rsaid, "and l do not think that report
Ecan be true. DR.. Cook has been wan
zdcring in thcse parts for some time.
III Is just possible the story emanated
from some Danish skipper who has
returned from the North"
/ When asked what would be the
value OF the discovery II the authen.
Eticity OF the report was confirmed Ad-
miral Melville said:
"For one thing It would put an end
i to the Arctic fad. The only use to
which the discovery could be put
would be Of scientific nature. II the
exact place OF the pole had been To-
Gated It would be possible to send q
party Of scientists there and by erect
Ing pendulum and measuring It's
movement and later removing the
same pendulum to the equator for sim
tlar measurement there the exact
weight OF the earth could be COM
puted. The attraction OF the earth TO
heavenly bodies and vice versa would
also b. thereby determined"

Delegates. all baldheaded, were

While we did not attack the wig
makers we adopted resolutions that
prohibit the wearing of wigs. We
also adopted rule that makes it
compulsory for every member upon ala
occasions to go hatless between April

in Eighteen Months.


New York, Sept. 2.--For years DR..
Frederick A. Cook has given his attcn-
tion to Arctic explorations and in
1872 was surgeon of the Peary Arc
tic expedition and In 1879 surgeon
of the Belgian Antarctic expedition.
He has received numerous decorations
from the geographical societies of Eu.

the polar field.
DR.. Cook started on his present ex.

ing from North Sydney, c. b., on
board the schooner John H. Bradley
The party was reinforced with sledges,
dogs and Arctic equipment at Etah,
Greenland, whence they sailed March
3, 1908. DR.. Cooks plan was to set
aside all tradition by making the dash
to the pole during the winter months,
when the elements are considered
least advantageous for an advance
northward.
Nothing has been heard from DR..
Cook for the last eighteen months. A
special committee of the Arctic club
has, however, made careful calcula-
tions upon his probable whereabouts
and had reached the conclusion that
DIR. Cook had discovered the pole.
1t was DR.. Cooks plan to make his
base of supplies or permanent camp
at Annatoak, in Greenland, about
twenty miles north of Etah. This
would place him about 1000 miles
from the North pole. The last news
received from him was dated March
IL, 1905, when he was near Cape
Thomas Hubbard.
