MONUMENTS ON

TOLEDO MEN START A MOVE
MENT THAT WILL INTER
EST MICHIGAN
PEOPLE.

Toledo Ohio, Nov. 15.-The Toledo
Society of Civil Engineers are spon-
sors of a movement watch has as ,t'
object the definite location AMI oernia-
nent mt nrqnenting of the Michigan
D1iD and the Indiana OHIO boundary
lines.
~ meeting in one % tn narrors OF
the Business Mems chgo ne societS
adc2ted resolutios authorizing Presi-
dent w. c. Clark to appoint com
mittee of five to prepare memorial
which will De presented TO the next
Ohio assembly a-Eing the legislature
t. Establish a commission to do this
work.
The engineers took this action after
Listening to a paper read 10y Joseph
I Holman, in which the assertions were
made that the present boundary lines
between Ohio and In5iana and Ohio
and Michigan are incorrect. and that
several hundred square miles that are
NOW supposed to belorg TO Indiana
should be in Ohio.
AIR. Holman said that 'Gew know
the exact conditions in regard to the
early dispute between Chic and the
territory of Michigan as to which lines
,hould be the division between the two
states or The fact that the city of To-
lCdo was traded or exchanged by
Michigan at the time the latter became
g..
insula.
Summing up the situation, Surveyor
Holman said: "In 1881 the states OF
Ohio and Pennsylvania, caused their
common boundary to be resurveyed
and marked by stone posts set at in
tervals of one mile, beginning at a
large monument ON the Lake Erie
shore. our southerly boundary is def
initely established 10y nature, being the
Ohio river at low water point on the
Ohio side. our western boundary for
the full length of the state has but one
monument to mark it's line distance
Of 200 miles or more.
"At Union City. Ohio, a thriving
town of 10000 population. they are
compelled to maintain two entirely
separate municipalities believing that
the state line ..Nns through their city
when in fact it is ~ of mile east of
the state line and rightfully belongs to
Ohio.
There are many other small towns
along this imaginary line besides many
square miles OF valuable land now a
part of Indiana which i'm reality be-
longs to Ohio. should an investigation
be made. our northern boundary has
no definite monument that have ever
heard of along it's entire length. and
in my opinion il should be just as ac-
curately located and securely monu-
mented as our corporation lines are
today"

minor LEAGUE
MACNATES meet
MEN WHO DIRECT THE pEs-
TIMES OF MINOR BASEBALL
LEAGUES GATHER IN CHI.
CAGo TO-DAY.

Chicago. Nov. 15.-Minor league
baseball owners and patrons will be
particularly Interested In the annual
meeting of the National Association
of Minor Leagues, the controlling or
ganization of all clubs outside the two
big leagues. which began at the Aud
itorium Hotel today and will occupy
the greater part of the week. At the
same time the Central League and
several of the other minor organiza-
tions will hold sessions.
The meeting of the National Asso-
citation promises To be the most i'm
portant that the organization has
held in several years. The subject of
the reclassification of the leagues,
with the 1910 census as basis. is
likely to cause some lively discussions
rules of the association are strictly
enforced several circuits will neces-
sarily be dropped to lower class.
while others will be entitled TO step
into higher grades. When the minor
leagues were classified ten years ago,
In accordance with the census of 1900,
the Western League was placed in
Class A, and the Three-I League in
Class b. Now, according to the latest
census figures, 1t is said that both or
ganizations will be obliged TO drop
down grade. Officials and club
owners of both leagues. It is hardly
necessary to state, will strenuously op-
pose any move to place them in new
classification.
A reclassification of the leagues
would entitle the Texas League to ad-
vance from Glass G. to B, while the
New York, New England and Connec-
ticut leagues could make the Class A
limit. IL is understood, however. that
the three last-named are content with
their present status.

Noted Russian is Succumbing to
High Fever Brought on by
Mental Distress and
Exposure
his WIFE Is HEART BROKEN
Mourning Over Departure Of Husband
for Unknown Destination to End
Days in Exile She Has Not
Long to Live.

Tula, Russia, Nov. 15.-The condi-
ton of both Tolstoi and wife are re-
ported today to be critical The count
appears to be succumbing to a fever
brought on by mental distress and ex-
posure incident to his voluntary exile
from home. while his deserted wife is
dying of broken heart.
Little By little the story of the au-
known. In company with his physi-
clan, DIR. Makovetsjy ne went from
Tula to the ancient cloister of Shamar-
dino in the province OF Kaluga, where
he remained the guest of his sister
Marie. The latter for many years has
been a nun at the cloister which was
founded 500 years ago. The nuns min
gle with the world, devoting themselves
to good works.
Tolstoi planned to stay one week as
the guest Of his sister, after which he
proposed to resume his wandering with
Or. Makovetsjy His destination he
refused to disclose.
Tolstoi stayed over night at the mon
astery of Optina. Before entering the
place he announced: II am the excom-
municated and mathematical Leo
Tolstoi. Is there any objection to my
staying here?"
The reply was: 1T is both a duty
and a pleasure to offer you shelter"
Tolstoi spent the day in the discus
sion of religious subjects with an aged
monk whom he had met on a visit 20
the monastery seventeen years ago.
The following morning the count re-
sumed his pilgrimage. He was clad
in a peasants suit of rough material
and wears high boots. He carried no
passports and when he left home he
took only $17 with him.
However, his daughter Alexandra,
who had learned her fathers inten-
tions, contrived to secret $3.50 in a
pocket of DIR. Makovetsjy's clothes
and if the count suffers for the neces-
saries of life, it will be because he
elects to do so.
When the count resumed mis- journey
accompanied by his daughter, who
Joined him at Shamardino, and DR..
Makovotsjy. he boarded a slow local
train preceding in the direction of
the Caucasus. Uolstoi developed a
high fever and the party was compell-
ed to leave the train at Astapova.
