Their Slender Income.

Chicago Tribune: On his way home
ward from the shop where he toiled
at his daily vocation Billiger Mcswat,
carrying into effect a stern and sinister
purpose he had cherished for months,
stopped at barber shop and had a
portion Of his beard removed.
Half an hour later he entered the
humble dwelling which. in bristling de-
fiance OF newspaper style cards, he
called his home.
Mrs. McSwat was sitting in an easy
chair and gazing pensively at the fire
that burned cheerfully, but economic

Then she sank back nervously into

BASEBALL HEADS
MEET TUESDAY

On Tuesday the baseball heads from
both the National and American
leagues win gather at New York to
thresh out bundle of questions on
the national pastime. At this meet
ing the National league magnates will
hide themselves in the quiet seclusion
Of dark parlor where. between sips
over their wine cups, they will elect
their president for the coming year.
Tom Lynch, present incumbent, is
willing to take another whirl at the
game, while others will stand around
and hope for the best. Lynch looks
like "sticker" at this time, although
that old dark horse" gag is getting
to be common thing in baseball these
days, and perhaps Horace Fogel or
Charley Ebbetts will drag a stranger
into the ring for the job. At any
rate, stormy session is sure to fol-
low the first taps for time, and during
the session several questions will be
brought up that will interest the minor
league heads. The drafting rule wills
be dealt with, as will the question OF
classification for the American asso-
leagues. AS usual, Charley Murphy,
the A. A. Stage of baseball, will be
on hand prepared to fight for or
against everything brought up, and
incidentally to spring about a thou
sand suggestions for the betterment
Of organized baseball

scandal, the main business OF the sew
eral big baseball meetings here dur
ing the next three days win have TO
do with the year in new baseball.
Members OF the supreme council Of
the game, heads of several leagues
and presidents Of many clubs are al
ready in the city holding informal
conferences which reflected a current
Of harmony and optimism.
New business of the week viii In
clude action by the national commits
sion on the elevation of the Ameri-
can association. the Pacific Coast lea
que and the Eastern league to the
now double A" class. The respective
presidents OF these leagues--Chiving-
ton, Ewing and Barrow-have all ar
rived in New York and with Sec. j.
III. Farrell of the National Association
of Professional Baseball Clubs, were
in consultation Saturday.
The league representatives express
ed confidence OF favorable action on
the new rating Mr.. Barrow also be-
lieved the proposal to call the Eastern
league the International league owing
to the fact that II includes two Cana
dian clubs, would go through.
Harmony was also the theme of the
National league magnates. Opposi-
ton to the reelection of Pres. 7. j.
Lynch of the National league was GER
tainly not evident i'm the magnates'
conferences. 1t was said generally
that Mr.. Lynch would be reelected
at the meeting Tuesday, and Mr..
Lynch himself said Soft the cleo
ton was conducted on business
basis"
There was also peaceful talk about
the protests about the long schedule.
August Hermann Of Cincinnati said
he was in favor of the 154game sched-
ule, but would be glad to see the sea-
son closed earlier.

regarded as a most important and far
reaching departure.
Men who are skeptical regarding
the commerce court declare that that
body will soon disabuse the commits
sion regarding it's authority in this re-
gard However this does not neces-
sarily follow, since the commerce court
has shown disposition In a few cases
TO go even further than the commits
sion in some directions. The general
feeling here is that this latest de-
cision OF the commission will prove
very popular among shippers, and, at
the same time, will not be seriously
fought by the railroads
In its decision the commission held
that no railroad has a right to de-
liberately retain the cars of another
line for indefinite periods under any
pretext whatever The commission
also held that the placing OF embargoes
against cars being sent Off the lines
of the owners is unlawful. The formal
decision OF the commission referred
TO the practice of railroads retaining
the cars of other lines ais stealing"
The obvious purpose of the commission
is to eliminate this practice among
railroads. which is quite general at
certain times Of the year. It is be-
lieved that the railroads will, as a
general rule, welcome the commits
sion's order requiring that this prac-
tice be stopped, just as most Of them
were more than willing to comply with
the federal anti pass legislation.
Commissioner prepared the decision.
Speaking of the Illinois, Missouri case.
which Is intended to apply generally,
he said:
"The complainant here was entitled
at all times to send its coal to points
upon the Missouri Pacific and through
other connections at st. Louis to points
upon their lines. 1t Is not adequate
defense for the Illinois Central to say
that this route was closed because of
the dishonorable conduct of it's con-
nections. The burden rests upon these
carriers to keep their highway between
the mine in Illinois and the factory in
Missouri open and to devise some
method by which this can be done.
The coal mine is entitled under the
law to rely upon the carrier main
tanning it's route irrespective OF the un-
