The Ohio-Pennsylvana meeting is
on today at Youngstown and though
there is little likelihood of the O.-P.
giving pu any of its territory repre-
sentatives of the Marion club are
there, and IL is also expected that
President Quinn will attend.
The Marionites Will try to impress
upon the magnates there assembled
In the necessity for a revision of the
OPP, the Pennsylvania in West Vir-
glnia, the Central and the Ohio state
leagues. There will be q plan pre-.
sented. whereby each league could be
benefited. But it is not expected TO
bear fruit.
President Sam Wright, of the O.-P.
is critically in and will be unable to
attend the meeting. 1t is possible
that he will be too III to continue as
the chief executive of the organiza-
ton in which event Henry p. Ed
wards, of Cleveland, sporting Editor
Of the Plain Dealer, will doubtless be
the choice.

STARTS A
NEW SYSTEM
Menacing Problem of the
Unemployed may be
Solved.
Ry limited Press Wlre.


London, Feb. 1.T-England's new sys
tenn of labor exchanges, by which 1t Is
hoped greatly to amelicrate the coun-
try's menacing problem of unemploy-
ment were put in operation today for
the fret time. Exchanges were
opened in various places through
England and so much Is expected
of them that the press generally re-
fers to the movement as an epoch
in England's industrial life.
The exchanges will try to bring the
job and the jobless together Every
exchange is provided with a record
prepared with unusual care, of the
firms and Industrial plants In Eng
land where employees are needed, and
also of the number and location OF
the unemployed i'm England, with
their peculiar fitness to certain kinds
of employment.
The scheme marks the first organic
ed. scientific attempt In England tc
solve the question of providing work
for the thousands who are idle. The
exchanges are counted on to save the
unemployed the expense of search
ing for work -where II Is already
known that no work exists.
The exchanges will pay the cost
OF transportation TO the field of en-
ployment.

|ROWDY BALL
DOESN'T PAY
Most Orderly Team in the
National League Won
the Pennant.
by united preaa wire


New York, Feb. Ia compilation
of National league figures for last
season. just published, shows that the
Pittsburg team won the pennant with
but seven explosions of It's players
throughout the year, while the Brook
lyn and St Louis teams, which fin
ished sixth and seventh, respectively
suffered seventeen expulsions each.
AS consequences, fans are seeing
whether 1t pays for ball players to nag
the umpires.
The Chicago Cubs might be cited
as proof that It does pay, for the
eighteen Cubs drew work-house
sentences. The preponderence of
evidence, however. is In favor of gem
tlemanly behavior on the ball field.
Expulslons last year broke all re-
cords, 119. as against ninety-four in
1908, and 112 in 1907. President
Lynch, the new executive. has already
announced that boisterous conduct
must be suppressed and that he will
stand by his umpires to the limit
The coming season, therefore, prom
ises to set q still larger record, un-
less the players see the furtility Of
trying to bluff the arbiters.

General May be Given
a Sharp Prod.
BY United Press Wire.

Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-Two bills
as protest against the delays Of pros.
ecutors and attorneys general have
been introduced.
The first by Representative Ertley
Republican, of Columbus, vests with
taxpayer or citizen the right to in
stitute suits on behalf of the county or
the state to uncover graft on the part
of officials and to remove officials
when county prosecutors or the attor-
ney general refuses to take the initi-
ative.
Winters. Erie county, Democratic
floor leader, has bill so to amend
the Valentine antitrust law as to per-
NIT any taxpayer to file custer suits
or quo warranto proceedings, against
trusts and corporations, in case the
constituted authorities refuse or fall
to act
Ritter, Republican, Miami county.
also has introduced a bill to oblige
the attorney general to codify the
new laws as fast as they are enact
ed and to keep them codfled year In
and year out. This Is expected to OBJ
viate the enormous expense of codlfy-
Ing commissions every decade or 50
demanded for indexlng and annotat-
and the almost prohlbitive prices now
ing the new statute code.

ESTATE VALUED
At 12O,000.000
Exact Income of the Heirs
of Gould Made Known
by Receivers.
BY United Press wire.

New York, Feb. 1.-The examina-
ton In court of the accounts OF
George j. and Helen Gould, receivers
for their sister, Anna Gould, formerly
the Countess De Castellane end now
Princess De Sagan, to settle the debts
she inherited and incurred with her
first husband. has disclosed the exact
figures of the income of the Gould
heirs to the fortune left by Jay Gould.
Figures brought before Special
Master Berry, appointed by Federal
Judge Lacombe. show the Gould es-
tate to be valued at 100000, 900.
From this the annual income reached
its maximum in 1908, when II aggfe-
gated s4,697,529, with a pro rata
share for each of the six heirs. The
income tumbled to US minimum In
1908, when 1t amounted to only s2,-
S5t,976.
Further disclosures show that Anna
Gould. during the first four years of
her marriage with De Castellane. be-
came responsible for debts amounting
to nearly $4,000, ,O0Os AT this point,
her family took her affairs in hand.
10 protect her against a similar exper-
ience with De Sagan, her lawyers
drew up a marriage contract, exempt
ing her income from whatever finan-
cial obligations may have beset him
when she became his wife

A BRIGHT IDEA.
Unusual sasacity That Was Lauded by
the Professor.

Unusual sasacity That Was Lauded by
the Professor.
That the proverbial absentminded
professor is sometimes ably abetted by
his wife is illustrated by story told
OF Professor Bunsen. One evening
about the usual hour for retiring he
took II into his head to run over to
the club just as he and madam were
returning from an evening call.
But" said the lady. II must have
the front door locked before retire"
This emergency staggered the pro-
fessor, and as he looked bewildered at
his wife the lady, seized with an in
spiration, continued:
"Pll 60 in and lock the door and
throw you the key from the window"
This program was carried out, and
when he reached the club the profess
or related the incident to a friend as
evidence of his wife's unusual sagac-
ity.
The friend greeted the story with a
roar Of laughter.
"And why. my dear professor" he
said, did you not simply admit your
wife, lock the door from the outside
and come away|
True" calculated the learned man
OF science, I'VE never thought OF that"
The climax Of the incident was
reached an hour later when, returning
home. the professor discovered that
the lady In her excitement had thrown
out the wrong key.

Grachevsky's cell. Feeble groans fol.

opened, and it was evident that some
thing terrible had happened to him.
Smoke and the smell of burnt clothing
and flesh pervaded the building and
hung about II till the following day.
We then knew that Grachevsky had
burnt himself alive. He had soaked
his clothes and bedding with the oil
from the little night lamp and, rolling
himself up In his blanket. had set 1t

he had disarmed the suspicious Of his

Natives Of Rural Roumania.
Customs and habits directly trace
able back to the end of the stone age
are still observed by the Inhabitants
of the remoter parts of rural Rouma-

tistics show that there are still In Rou-
mania over $4,000 cave dwellings In

lion peasant folk live. These caves
are almost as primitive In their ar
rangements as the original cave dwell
ings of the stone age.
As recently as 10 the eighties millet.
the oldest lndo-Germanic grain. was
still crushed In Roumania by means
of hand mills and stored In peculiarly
shaped granarles similar to those used
by the natives Of central Africa. To-
day the Roumanian peasants still use
ancient plows. At funerals a repast
named coliba Is partaken of consist
ing OF soaked and boiled corn the ex-
act way corn was first prepared and
eaten by the tribes Of Europe.
Even today crabapples and wild
pears are the only fruit known to the
Roumanian peasant, and his vegeta-
bles are wild herbs boiled with oil
pressed from sun6ower. hemp and
gourd seeds. Medical men In rural
Roumania are still known among the
peasantry as wizards.

asserted his views of the. coming mill
thusly:
~ don't think that Jeffries and
Johnson are on the level about this
match. There is something funny
about the whole affair, The black man
can win IL the bout is on the level.
In my opinion the alleged bout looks
bad. / don't think that Jeffries could
be dragged into a ring with the black
man unless there was an arrangement
that Johnson would lay down. Now, !
never liked to have a white man fight

johnson looks like sure bet to me.
