Eastern League and American
Association Again After 'AA'
R~ank-Decisi0ns.
CHICAGO. o Il

CHICAGO, Nov. Is.
THIS is the first "big day" for the
minor league owners and officials
who have gathered, in Chicago
for the annual meeting of the National
Association of Professional Baseball
Leagues. Today the first session Of the
association was scheduled to begin in
the Auditorium Hotel and the disturb
ing question of reclassification was ex-
pected to be one of the chief matters
brought up.
Although the Western League was
given to understand yesterday by the
National Board of Arbitration, which
will be in session for several days set
Ting disputes between players and
clubs, that it would not consent at this
time to retire the league from Glass A
to Glass B, members of the Western
were not entirely at their ease today,
due to the report current that the
executive board would refer all matters
pertaining to Reconsideration to tn
general meeting of the association.
Managers and team owners were e
pected today in the annual conference
for trading players and looking up new
material of every kind. There were
several points which the Board Of Arbi-
tration has decided to refer to h May
body, but these are now being for
gotten in the fight between the leagues
over the Reconsideration.
The Eastern League n the Amerf-
can Association seek to be put into q
class by themselves-Class AA. This
the others are fighting.
Baseball managers protests occupied
the attention yesterday of the national
arbitration board of the National AS
ISOLATION of Professional Leagues. In
addition representatives of the Western
and the Three-I. leagues made siren
uous appeal to the board that their
classification remain undisturbed.
Under a former decision 1t was
agreed that every ten a %reclassi-
fcation of the leagues should be made
to regulate drafting and sale opportu-
mites. Large territories populated by
/ ZOO, 900 or more persons could be In
class A, those Of 400.0 900 or more in class
B, etc, now that the 1910 census has

The contemplated action of the de-
partment follows an investigation
which has been conducted by it's spe-
cial agents for some months. Initial
proceedings will begin before the
grand jury at Chicago, probably next
week, and may contemplate both
civil and criminal actions.
The firms mentioned in connection
with the matter include Swift and
company, Morris and company and
Armour and company, all big packing
house concerns, and all of whom it is
said. are interested in the National
Packing company. The three first
named concerns are commonly repre-
sented to control the National cor
poration for their common benefit.
The aim of the department has
been to ascertain the relations be-
tween the several firms, individually,
and the National Packing company to
determine whether they have operated
to control the prices of fresh meats,
which, according to almost universal
complaint have been going higher
and higher. From the fact that pro-
ceedings are to be instituted, the in
ference Is that the officials feel salts
fed they have a good case.
One possible method of action may
be that suit to dissolve the COM
pany, under the Sherman antitrust
law. as an organization, operating in
restraint of interstate trade. Pro-
ceedings against individuals also may
result.
The investigations conducted by the
department. resulting in the deter
mination to proceed in the courts
against the alleged combination, had
their inception in an inquiry into the
practices of one of the western rail-
roads in making shipments for Nor
ris and company. which, it has been
charged, amounted practically to re-
batting.
These were gone into fully at the
time and the conclusion resulted that

KILLED TH1RrY-FNE YEARS OLD.
WHILE THE WOMAN WITH WHOM


Wellington, KaS., Jan. 22.-J. l.
Vandaveer, 61 years old. is on trial
fo- the murder of William Cam, a
farmer, 35 years old, August Z. 1909.
1t is alleged Vandaveer suspected
Cam of paying undue attentions to
Mrs. Vandaveer, who is 81 years old,
the mother of twelve children and
has several grandchildren. Wanda
veer lost money in a picture show,
in addition to losing his wife's affec-
tons. He will set up insanity as
his defense. He laid in wait beside
a hedge for Cam for an hour and a
half, at the edge of town and blew
his shoulder to pieces with a shot
gun as Cam was going home about
midnight.
Cam lived several hours but refus-
ed to say that Vandaveer shot him,
although it is believed he knew Van
daveer had found him with his wife
and had warned him.
Proved the Shooting.
The state closed its case this morn
ing after having proved that Van
daveer shot William Cam. known
among his acquaintance as Buster"
because of his great size. The de-
fense is now being made.
Mrs. Fred Cam, mother of the dead
man, her face hidden by heavy black
veil and her hands trembling, told for
the first time today how sh. knew her
son had been shot.

Mrs. Cam then told of how her
sons faithful gray mare. Maud, which
was hitched to the buggy in which
he rode when shot, ran home with
him. as she often had done before.
Cam was late slayer sometimes
and as he lived with his parents,
only mile and a half from town.
Maud was trained to know the route
quite we'll.
Vandayeer Had Made Complaint.
Cam was shot while close to the
Worden nursery, half way between
George Horsley. an ex-Wellington po-
liceman. told of having been inform
ed by Vandaveer Of CAMS attentions
to his wife and that he cautioned
him and at one time had chased him
from buggy where he sat with Mrs.
Vandaveer. Vandaveer had a revol-
yer. Cam weighed 240 pounds and
his running that night was not a rec
ord breaker. Mrs. Vandaveer said
Cam had taken her into his buggy
because her shoes hurt her.

was called to the Vandaveer home, in !!

house here, held meeting to discuss
the outcome OF the threatened boy-
colt. The butchers were of one
opinion in welcoming a strict boycott.
IN the hope that IT would force down
ward the price of meat on the hoof.
Several vigorous speeches were
made and one of the leaders,, George
F. Smith. claimed that whiskey is the
real cause of high prices. He said:
III Is the farmers fault the meat
and principally pork is as high as it
IS, and the people can blame whiskey.
Ihe farmer will not raise nogs which
he has to fatten with corn when he
can sell his corn to the distilleries for
a much greater profit than ne could
realize by putting It into his hogs. It
naturally follows that the demand for
pork becomes greater and the supply
less, hence the advanced prices"
Thomas Toomey, .out of work, who
was arrested for stealing 81: worth
of meat from butchers wagon will
probably be released from his cell
through the crusade of the boycott
leaders. When he was visited in his
cell today he said:
MY children must have meat. 1
have six children. l am not going to
let them starve. / can't buy meat.
but | can get it,
The effect of thel boycott, as the
union men figure, allowing one pound
of meat to each person, would mean
that 100000 pounds less meat will
be eaten each day. than has been the
case. In the thirty days the figure
will be 13,500,000 pounds. Figuring
the price of meat at is cents a pound
the loss to the dealers in thirty days
would be $2,025, 900.

is believed that the four men who held
up the Missouri Pacific train No. &
last night near Eureka, thirty miles
IRON this city, will be run to earth
today. ,~y7 ~
Blood hounds were put on the trail
today, the dogs beings brought from
Jefferson City. 1t is believed the four
men are hiding in the foothills near
Eureka. The men had three hours the
start of their pursuers, but the coun-
try is wild and inaccessible and the
officers think they were unable to
reach place of safety before the
pursuit started.
just now much the men got from
the mail car is unknown. TWENTY-FIVE
sacks of mail were ripped open and
hundreds of letters were rifled, while
many other letters and packages are
supposed to have been carried away.
The safe In the express car resisted
all efforts Of the robbers to open It
with jimmies and crowbars and they
did not attempt to use an explosive.
Two of the bandits boarded the
train. which is due in st. Louis at
l0:40 from Kansas City, at Pacific.
nine miles west of Eureka at 1O:15.
The other two tagged the train a mile
east OF Eureka in lonely spot with
red lanterns. As the train slowed
down, the two on board climbed over
the tender and covered the engineer
and fireman. The engine, mail coach
and combination baggage and express
cars were cut of, after the express
messengers and mail clerks had been
ordered from their cars.

bullet carried away his hat and a lock
OF his hair. With one of the robbers
at the throttle, the engine and two
cars were run to Castlewood, six
milse distant, where the four took
their time about rifling the mail. The
water was let out of the boiler and
the engineer and fireman were or
dered to walk east for fifteen minutes
under threat of instant death. The
quartet then disappeared into the
woods. The stranded passenger
coaches,' three in number, lay on the
main line until 2:30 o'clock this morn
ing, when they, together with the
engine, baggage and express cars
were brought into st. Louis by
freight engine. The engine and two
cars with 1t were not located until
the engineer and fireman ran six
miles back to it, after getting their
orders from the hfghwaymen.

Washington. Jan. 22.-Pennsylvanis
has come forward with Representa-.
tive Martin E. Olmsted as the candi.
date of the delegation for the speak.
ership of the next congress.
The formal announcement of the
informal decision of the Keystone
state Republicans was made yester.
day. Coming from a delegation which
is regarded as made up of the regu-
lars of the regulars, the stanchest
supporters of the house organization
it created more than ordinary inter-
est among the members of both the
majority and the minority. Members
Of the organization who were not dis
posed to take a serious view of the
recent announcement of Representa-
tive Dickema of Michigan that he
intended to be candidate OH ac-
count of his comparatively short SER
vice in the house, professed to see
considerable significance in the at
titude of the Pennsylvanians.
A poll of the delegation showed
that most of its members who are
willing to express an opinion, even
though not for publication, are in
favor of Mr.. Olmsted's candidacy.
Representative Dalzell, according to
the gossip of the delegation, is not
altogether pleased with the develop
ment of the Olmsted sentiment. It
is understood that he would not be
averse to being a candidate himself
should he fight for the speakership
become a "free-for-all."
10 Delay Official Action.
1t is altogether probable that the
Pennsylvania delegation will take no
official action on the subject of Mr..
Olmsted's candidacy for long time.
The members are not yet ready to
make formal announcement of their
intentions. They merely want to be
ready with a candidate should it be-
come apparent that Speaker Cannon
will not be a candidate or that the
opposition to him is too strong to
be overcome. They do not intend to
lose any advantage in the event of
an open field at the beginning of the
Sixty-second congress.
1t developed yesterday that .consid-
cradle opposition to Speaker Cannon
really existed in the PENNSYLVANIA
delegation. This opposition has no
relation to the issue which has
acquired the popular definition of
"Cannonism." The charge of autoc-
racy, which has been brought against
the speaker by the insurgents and
the Democrats, plays no part in the
program of the Pennsylvanians.
Their attitude, according to frank
explanation made by one Of the
the delegation, is based
on the doctrine of revenue only.

of the public funds, es-
