ROCER'S CASE GOES BACK ID
 4 COMMITTEE
National League Directors Shunt Responsibility lu Bresnahan Claim to Peace Body of St. Louis Club for Settlement.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The claim of,
 Roger Bresnahan against the St
 Louis National league club for breach
 of contract will probably be settled
 by the arbitration committee at St.
 Louis.
 This tentative decision was reached
 by the board of directors of the
 National league. Bresnahan through
 his attorneys, appeared before the
 board and presented the claim. Af-
 ter listening to arguments for and
 against Bresanhan's claim for four
 years salary the board suggested
 some sort of d arbitration settlement,
 and the attorneys retired for an hour
 to discuss terms. On their return, the tentative arbitration plan was preached and received the sanction of the directors. The directors offic- tally awarded the penant of the 1912 season to the New York club. At tomorrow's meeting of the board. definite plans will be adopted, but it is said in all probability the case will be settled by an arbitration com mission in St Louis which under the Missouri laws will have the power to subphoena witnesses and render de- cisions binding t, all parties.
 Before hearing the Bresnahan claim, the directors decided they had | jurisdiction over such cases arising between club owners and players, and when the arbitration plan is finally adopted tomorrow, it will have the approval of the board and it's hearings will be held under the of ficial sanction.
 The claim of Umpire Clarke Rigler | for $2,200 against the Philadelphia club for services in signing Pitcher RiXey gave the directors an Oppor- 1 tunity to go on record as opposed to | umpires acting as scouts for club members and obtaining players The l claim of Rigler was placed on file. Cornelius J. Sullivan a director of the New York club was seated as a 1 member of the board in the place of l the late John T. Brush. Other mem l bers of the board present were, Herri- Imam of Cincinnati. Ebbets of Brook | lvn. Dreyfuss of Pittsburg and Mur- phy of Chicago.
 l After the directors meeting tomOr- row. the National league magnates 1 will begin their annual meeting. It is expected the first business to be settled will be the claim of August l Hermann of Cincinnati to Joe Tinker shortstop of the Chicago club in eN- change for several other players

Appeals to Newly Elected Members of Illinois Leg islature to Strive to Have Platform Principles Elm bodied in State Laws.

Is Ready for Conference At Which It Is Predicted At Least One Representa- tive from Every State Will Be Present.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-"Without traf- licking or dickering with the old parties let us fight to have our platform principles embodied in the laws of Illinois, was the appeal of Colonel Roosevelt made today to the newly elected members of the Illinois legislature. to whom he made the first speech at the progressive con ference, which opened here today and which will continue over Wednesday. The former president termed the re- publican organization of such char acter that no honest man will be in it."
 The formal opening of the confer- ence is not scheduled for tomorrow, but large number of progressive. both men and women are here. The leaders say that most of the states are represented and that by tomor- row at least one man from every state will be present.
 The largest single delegation came from New York on the special train with Colonel Roosevelt The colonel was greeted at the railroad station with cheers and shouts of he can come back"
 T am glad to have the chance to come out here and say again that We are in the fight to the end and it is idle folly for the republicans to waste time thinking of any attempt to lure us back into an organization they have made of such character no honest man be in it." Colonel Roosevelt said.
 The progressive members of the legislatures and congress have task of peculiar importance. They should make good as far as possible the platform pledges. We owe it to our selves that our pledges are kept Though they haven't control of any legislature or of congress, the prog ressive members should introduce every measuer promised in the cam paign and try hard to know how to have them adopted. We want legis- latiVe committees appointed to pre- pare in advance and have ready to be introduced on the first day of the session the bills advocated in our platform.
 Another thing we want to make our opponents who are now making loud professions by lip of loyalty to the progressive principles, show Imp or back up. They say most of our measures are uncon- stitutiOnal. Nothing pleases the re- | actionaries better than to fall back 1 on the dear old constitution

New York, Jan. 1.-The new year
Of 1912 will be ushered in in this city
by a celebration such as is observed
nowhere else in the world. and one
which will make the famous feasts of
Lucullus seem insignificant in compar-
ison. For many years the passing Of
the old rear has been the city's great
est night of celebration. This year,
however, two factors combine to give
1t added Importance. Since the fes-
tival falls on a Sunday it will be i'm
possible to secure liquid refreshments
except at hotels and restaurants as a
part of the dinner. For the same rea-
son there will be no all night liquor Ii
censes issued. AS a result the cele-
bration will be confined to the city's
great hostelries and guests will be
forced to order the nights supply of
champagne early. For two weeks ev-
cry table in every popular resort in the
lobster belt has been reserved for the
inevitable supper" at prices ranging
from $40 to $50 apiece and that takes
no account Of the many dollars that
VIII be spent in other ways after the
game is on. 1t is estimated that 50,-
900 people will partake of the feast in
that gilded mile of Broadway, besides
which all the rest of the world seems
tame and uninteresting on New Years
eve. Enough food will be eaten or
wasted to feed an army for a week.
and the champagne consumed would
float a battleship. The section in
which the celebration will be most
strenuous extends from Twenty-third
street to Forty-eigtth street and
reaches its climax at Longacre Square
into which Broadway, Seventh avenue,
FoTty-second street and Fo~rty-fourth
street pour an army OF jewellers and
sightseers. Around the square are
ranged the famous restaurants and ho-
tells where the fun will be most uproar-
ious. So great has been the demand

IMPRESSIVE CEREMONIES HELD
YESTERDAY AT FIRST coNeRE-

OF FORMER PASTOR.

There We're impressive ceremonies
held yesterday afternoon at the First
Congregational church when the hand
some new memorial window was dedl-
Gated to the memory Of the late DR..
Joseph f. Dudley, pastor Of that church
from 1901 until 1906. Special music
and addresses by various members of
the congregation formed the pro-
gramme of the day.
Several very appropriate musical
numbers were rendered by the quar-
tette which consists Of Misses Beard
and Champine and Mr.. Steele and Mr..
Hoaglum. DR.: Creegan opened the
services with prayer.
Rev. r. A. Beard, pastor of the
church, gave a most interesting talk on
the services and personal life of the
late DR.. Dudley. He told of his long
acquaintance with him, of his pastorate
in this city and how beloved he was
among his own people.
Judge Engerud told of his early
friendship with the late divine and OF
the great influence for good he seemed
to exert over the young men at col
lege when he attended Beloit. Judge
Engerud first knew DIR. Dudley at Eat
Claire, Wis, some twenty-ive years
ago.
Judge Spalding gave an account o
the personal side Of the mans life anC
influence he had on those with whom
he came in contact in after life. He
stated he was the typical New Eng.

That the great American hen may
soon be called upon to act as her own
expert accountant in addition to her
duty of producing eggs is now being
indicated here at the annual poultry
show through one OF the strangest de-
vices in the history of chickendom. In
future it will not besuficient for Mrs.
Hen to lay the egg, for the new re-
cording device will also make it nee
essary for her to give written testi-
mony to the effect that she has done
so by means of crayons of various
colors and recording sheets of paper
which will be furnished her. The new
recording device by which the egg
laying activities of any hen can be de-
termined consists of a small steel spur
affair which is attached to one Of ner
legs, on the end of which is fastened a
piece of colored crayon. When she
enters the specially built nest she locks
herself in, at the same time lowering
I a bar that later on makes an account
ant of her. After the egg is safely de-
posted, to regain her freedom she
must stoop to get under the mar, and
in doing so makes a mark with the
crayon attached to her leg on a piece
of paper that is placed on the floor ii
the entrance to her nest, thus register
ing the fact that the hen with the red,
blue or green crayon, as the case may
be, has laid the egg. While the device
is not likely to reduce the cost OF the
morning meal, it viii undoubtedly
work a hardship to those fowls who
do not live UP to their responsibilities
as egg producers.
