Sllas Fuller Brown. aged fifty.fiye
years, ended his life this afternoon at
o'cloclt by shooting himself Mt fhis
home Mt 21G Con street, First ward.
The scene Of lthe tragedy Is a bedroom
on the second foor OF the home. Mr..
Brown was opposed to be dressing to
come over town to see about some le.
gnlS alters He made no attempt to
dress, for there was nothing totindt
cate u. II Is presumed tnat he lay
down before he shot himself. for none
of the family heard him fall, He pull
Ell the trigger OF a thirty-two-calibrc
revolver three times before there was
q discharge The first two times the
hammer struck the shells. but for
some reason they did not explode. &
Drs Cyrus and William Boyers re-
sponded to the call that was sent in
J by Mrs. w H. Brown. They hurried
TO the scene, but they were too late.
Death came instantly. Coroner Mus

place where the tragedy; occurred. He
made an examination OF the body \.
That Brown contemplate something

Boston, Dec. 6-There has been no
change in the ownership of the Boston
Hationa League baseball club since
John P. Harris. of Pittsburg, purchased
the holdings of John S. Dewey a few
weeks ago. thereby gaining control of
the organization. and according to Mr..
Harris. who was elected president OF the
club to-day. there are no deals pending.
The report that James ]. Phelan. a Bos-
ton broker. had purchased control of the
club. acting as the agent for a syndicate
Of Boston men, was absolutely denied by
President Harris. who said he had never
seen sIr. Phelan and did not know him.
At the annual meeting this afternoon
Mr.. Harris was elected president to sue
coed John Dewey. who was chosen as
treasurer, and p. r. Kelly was reelected

making desperate efforts 70 buy control
of the club in the interest of himself and
some politicians He owns the stock
that Fred Tenney formerly had, and IL
is reported made Harris an offer for his
stock. but could not see the figures set
by the latter Mr.. Russell left for New

MICHIGAN MAY
MEET CORNELL
Conference Opens Way for
Football Match.

The action Of the Western conference
outside football games shows rare
study and farsightedness. The very dip
lomatic moves makes some of the larg-
est elevens remain within the very broad
confines Of the very broad conference
NO longer shall the teams of Chicago
and Illinois face Cornell and Syracuse
on the gridiron. But il is not that the
august heads OF the conference look with
disfavor on the East. OF course not
The conference likes the East. BY ali
means encourage intersectionaI football
at the proper time.
The Middle Western idea Of "the proper
time" evidently is that year when Michi-
CAMS Wolverines viii purr and eat
crumbs that drop from the conference
table. For the placing Of ban on any
thing but inside games was aimed at
Michigan. The sagacious leaders of the
conference sought to prevent the Michi-
gan-M Minnesota match by so doing AS
the operation involved the elimination of
all games with Eastern teams, its wis
dom is evident. II calls TO mind the man
who shaved of his mustache just TO
make his imperial feel out OF sorts
At present it seems likely that the
wolverines will have perfect cause 20
settle back on their launches and enter
tain Ann Arbor's moon with joyous sere-
nades. The elimination of Cornell from
Chicago's schedule is taken 70 mean that
Michigan will seek the date. Syracuse.
finding herself without the Illini, might
be induced 10 meet the Maize and Blue
eleven. 1t is hard to imagine the con-
ference's feelings were Michigan to pre-
sent a schedule with three Eastern games
Pennsylvania. Cornell, and Syracuse.
Perhaps the season after would not see
the conference restricting its loyal men,
bers to inside" games.
