to Court Today.

ST. LOUIS. March 4.-The man who
appeared in the Kimmel case here as
George A. Kimmel. is an impostor.
Such was the decision today of the
jury in the federal court, which has

that 1t was unable to determine wheth-
er the real Kimmel was dead when
the suit was filed in 1904. The jury
was sent back to consider further the
latter question.

kimmel was the chief witness for the

sisting payment of insurance policies
for $4,000, held by Mrs. Estelle Kim
mel Of Niles, Mich, his mother. The
man, known otherwise as Andrew
White, was discovered in the state's
prison in Auburn. N. Y, where he

citation attended the meeting OF the
K l. o. league held yesterday at Gin

new ones added. The most important
addition made was the rule regulating
the signing of players. in former

ments it was decided to force every
club in the organization to sign every
player.

be set aside, which will give the clubs
an opportunity to play off postponed
