- SUMS UP D'AULBY CASE.
Chief Counsel for Count I
proaches French Judiciary.

prO4cheS Ffench Judiciary.
Tours, Jan. 3.-Maiter Bernard. chief
counsel for Count" d'Aulby, began his
argument to-day in the summing I'D of
the case against the count for extort-
ing $4,000 through the sale Of spurious
old masters from Mrs Charles H. Paine,
Of Boston, now the Duchess de Choiseul
Pravin.
The public prosecutor yesterday with
drew the charge against Countess
d'Aulby, formerly Miss Lunt, of Boston,
who was being tried with her husband.
The Countess de Choiseul withdrew from
the case at the last hearing, and her
letters to the count were thereupon
returned.
In his address to-day NJ. Bernard re-
preached the Tours judiciary with too
completely assisting Mrs. Paine, whose
suit, he declared. was only brought in
order that she might regain possession
Of her letters. Her withdrawal came
about. he said, when counsel secured the
famous packet for her.
During his address, M. Bernard an
nounced that d'Aulby would prove his
right to the title of count after he got
out Of prison.
The pleadings were finished this after
noon. and judgment will be rendered on
January II.
1t may be explained that q French
Judge Is always assisted by two or more
assessors. Judge Dumont il one of these,
and thus he was able to replace Judge
Robert. before whom the greater part
Of the case was tried prior to his being
taken ilL which compelled his retirement
yesterday.

INSANE PATIENT ENDS LIFE.
Anna Volinsky, Who Accused Jacob
H. Schin, Hangs Herself.

New York, Jan. 3.-Anna Volinsky, the
woman who was committed to the Man.
haitian State Hospital on Wards Island,
about month ago, after she had threat
ened to take the life of Jacob II. Schiff,
was found hanging by a slender rope
from hook in the clothes room at the
hospital late this afternoon. nurse
who discovered her called physician,
but Miss Volinsky was already dead
Miss Volinsky was not considered a
violent patient. She was in the ward
where the least deranged patients are
cared for, and like most of the others in
the same ward she had little duties to
perform about the hospital. 1t was m
the course of one of her tasks that she
went to the clothes room.
DR.. William Mabon, superintendent of
the hospital, said tonight that on most
subjects Miss Volinsky appeared to be
sane Her one dangerous delusion, he
said, was the one she had nured since
she lost her job a collector for the
Montefiore Home seven months ago.
She believed that Schiff and certain
others were still in pursuit of her and
Intended to harm her.
Jacob II. Schiff was at his residence
when he was told of Miss Volinsky's
death.
Il am sorry to hear that" he said
simply. Il am very sorry to hear that"

National Commission Takes
Important Action.
HERMANN AGAIN CHAIRMAN
Important Action Taken by High
= Court of BsSeball ut Cincinnati.
wholesale Abuse Of Drafting to He
Remedied Immense Volume Of
Business Transacted at Meeting.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 3.-The national
commission. at its meeting late this aft
ernoon. passed rule prohibiting the
games after winning the worlds cham
pionship. The commission was led to
take this action following the showing
of the Philadelphia Athletics in Cuba.
The commission, however, does not in
tend to interfere in the playing of fall
games and transforming tours of other
teams, but all will be notified that they
must put regular teams in the field and
not make farce of the national game.
The commission also called a halt on
the wholesale abuse of the drafting sys-
tenn by club owners in detriment to the
advancement of the individual player. In
the future. when any team claims a
player. it must file with the secretary of
the national commission a signed state
ment that such selection is made for the
sole purpose of securing such players
services for its own team, and not under
an agreement or arrangement for his
transfer to another major or minor
league club. If. on investigation. the
commission finds the certified statement
false, and that the selection was per-
verted from its true purpose, in further
ance OF conspiracy. fine equal to the
drafting price of the league from which
the player was drafted shall be imposed
on each offending club
The commission also decided to engage
an agent, at a salary of 5000 a year,
who will represent the commission at
the meetings of all minor leagues and
associations. 1t is the purpose of the
commission to keep in closer touch with
the minors.
While a schedule has not yet been
completed, it is understood that the two
major leagues will open April II and
close October s.
The volume of business transacted by
the commission the past year was the
greatest since its organization, accord
ing to the report of Chairman Herr
mann. Chairman Hermann was re-
elected, as was Secretary John E Bruce.
