MAGNATES GATHER
IN CINCINNATI

Cincinnati, November 30.-President Au-
gust Hermann OF the National Baseball
commission; President Charles w. Muir
ply of the Chicago National League club.
and President OBrien Of the American
association gathered here tonight. but
each Of them denied that their meeting
had any particular significance.
None of the baseball magnates would
discuss the sale of the Philadelphia club
or the coming election of a president Of
the National league. Mr.. Murphy de-
clared that his sole reason for coming to
Cincinnati was to submit to Mr.. Herr
mann the medals which have been struck
for the winners of the Chicago Baseball
championship. Mr.. OBrien said his pres
ence was due to private business rea-
sons.
In spite of the non-committal attitude
of the baseball leaders, considerable sig
nificance was attached in sporting circles
to statement appearing in the Times
Star, Charles P. Tafts paper, to the ef-
feet that Cincinnati capital was behind
the Philadelphia deal"
Both Mr. Murphy and Mr.. O'Brien left
Cincinnati this evening
While here Mr.. Murphy held a long
conference with Charles P. Taft. but de-
clined to make any statement about the
purchase of the Philadelphia National
League club.
At National league headquarters it was
stated that Stanley Robson. owner Of
the ST. Louis National club, is quite
i'll in Cleveland and that he never made
the statement sent out from st. Louis
that he will support John Heydler for
president of the National league.
The rumor that the American association
will invade American and National league
cities is laughed at.

COY, Conner SPENDS
DAY IN VICKSBURG
Declines TO Discuss Outcome
of Election
TALKED FREELY ON TRAIN
Told Hearers That He Realized Two
Weeks Ago Amendment Was De-
feated-WlIl Spend Ten
Days Hunting.

Vicksburg, Miss, November 30.-Gov.
B. B. Conner of Alabama reached vicks-
burg on an early morning train from
Birmingh am. and missing his train here,
the distinguished but somewhat crest
fallen Albanian spent a quiet day In
and about the Hotel Carroll. To the
newspaper men the visitor was as
stoically Indifferent to the issue just
frazzled out as an animated tombstone
would be to the presence of visitors to
a graveyard. Not one word, not even
a syllable. would the visiting governor
allow himself to be drawn into as some
means of expression of his feelings
regarding the result and the outlook
for the future.
His one admission is that he is seek
ing few days recreation in the game
filled woods along Little Sunfiower
river, where the shooting surroundings
of the Swan Lake Hunting club" of
which he has for some years been a
member, will hold solace and recupera-
tive inducements for his mind and boy
Governor Conner was asked II he
would not like to meet Mayor Hayes
himself a mighty good fellow. who
would be glad to drive him through the
National park. mo, no indeed. thanks:
I am just going through, don't care to
meet anybody and don't want any at
tention whatever, please he replied.
81 WAS almost tempted when I regis
tered today to write my name Bill
Jones' ON this hotel register, but for the
good people of Alabama, as 1 wanted
to go through on this little hunting trip
to get a rest and recuperate from the
long, tedious campaign we have just
closed"
Governor Conner expects to be up in
the swamps 10 days on this hunt. He
will not be able to leave Vicksburg
until tomorrow morning, as his train for
that point runs SO that connection can
be made only by leaving in the morn
ing Today he has carefully scanned
every line he could get in newspapers
of the election results.

Saw Defeat Two Weeks Ago.

Mobile, November 30-Gov. B. B.
Conner is on a hunt. He is somewhere
in the neighborhood of Vicksburg. Miss.
Showing plainly his defeat but de-
claring that he predicted such results
two weeks ago, he left Birmin CHAM at
10:40 o'clock last night.
Governor Conner had scarcely taken
his seat in the coach when a number
who knew him gathered about and
piled him with questions. Among these
were J. Strouse, travelling man, and
E. ]. Lee of Mobile.
1.-TWO weeks ago" said Governor
Conner to Mr.. Lee, Il was satisfied that
the amendment was defeated; of this I
was more than satisfied before the end
OF the past week"
Governor Conner did not go into de-
tails as TO what had caused him to de-
ternine two weeks before the election
that the scheme would be defeated.
But you remained In Birmingham
long enough to ascertain the resJlts?"
suggested one of those around the gov
ernor.
Eyes, and why not?" replied Governor
Conner II am now going to end 1t up
with a hunt
While the conversation was under
way a well-dressed stranger walked up.
He was not acquainted with the gov
ernor.
This is awful, awful, awful. How
in the h did Governor Conner and
Judge Weakley ever expect to pull off
such a stunt as that anyway" and the
remark did not set well with the gov
ernor.
"Why are you so strongly prohibit
ton in sentiment" asked one of the
number.
Because " per cent of the popula-
ton of Alabama are convicts and this
is due to liquor" came the reply of
Governor Conner.

With the first signs of constipa-
tion you resort TO the home methods
of relief, such as hot or cold water on
arising, lots of stewed fruit with your
breakfast, etc. but what do you do
when these fail?
The majority then start on salts and
purgatiye waters. then change to cathar-
tic pills. etc. II you have gone through
these various stage you know they were
all useless, so far as permanent results
go. Now you should try lust once again
but try something practical and sensible,

pose you are trying to accomplish. Such
a remedy, as thousands can testify. is
