MEETING is FRlCTIONLESS

CHICAGO, January G.-Nhat had prom.
ised to be a lively session OF the annual
meeting of the American Association he sc
ball club owners passed off quietly here
today The following things were accom-.
plished:
Thomas NJ. Chivington was unanimously
reelected president of the league, and his
term extended to five years.
Applications Of the Minnesota Wiscon-
sin Leaghe to place teams in Minneapolis
and st. Paul and the Blue Grass League
to enter Louisville were denied.
An agreement was reached to return
to the three trips around the circuit
schedule, which obtained prior to las.
year.
The president was instructed to draw
up schedule Of los games for this year.
The first games will be played in eastern
territory between April and III. the exact
date to be agreed on later.
The board of directors was increased
to eight members, and President Chiving-
ton made chairman officio. The eX-
pected fight on the election of President
Chivington failed to materialiZe. The other
three candidates-George G. Rice, Chicago
base ball writer; Charles T.. AIoll, presi-
dent of the Wisconsin-Ill Illinois League, and
an unidentified dark horse" from Co
lumbus-were represented, but 1t soon be-
came evident that Chivington had ma
joriy of the woes pledged. AS a result,
only Chivington's name was presented.
The vote was Unanimous. to o. on the
first ballot.
Long Term Opposed.
The resolution to make Chivingtons
term. five years. which was next called up
for a vote, met with some opposition.
Three clubs-reported to have been st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee-vOted
in the negative. Later Charles E. Have
nor of Milwaukee addressed the meeting,
saying he had no personal motive in vot-
ing against the extended term, but he
thought it unwise to elect any man for
such long time.
Although several managers We're pres
ent, no trades were reported. Connie
Mack of Philadelphia was one OF the
first to arrive and last to leave. but he
did not find the utility infelder he sought.
Asked If he desired man for first base,
fearing "Stuffy" McInnes would be I'M
able to play, Mack answered:
mo, indeed: Mc1nnes will be there next
season. I'm not worrying about him..

PARLIAMENT OF
CANADA OPENED
GOVERNMENT ExPEcTs~To GET
NAVAL PROGRAM THROUGH
DESPITE OPPOSITION.

Ottawa, Ont. Nov. 21.-The Domin-
ion parliament was opened today by
his royal highness. the Duke of Con-
naught. The occasion was marked
with the usual ceremonial. which in
cluded the firing Of royal salute

Rideau Hall 10 the parliament build

tion that the speech from the throne
would deal with subjects of far more
than ordinary interest and importance
TO the public led to an unusually large
attendance of visitors at the opening.
Unless all signs go astray the par
liamentary session now begun viii be
one of the most contentious and bitter
In many years. There is every rea-
son to believe that the much discus
sed naval policy win be one of the
first matters brought up. The gov

ment, ere preparing TO make vigorous
protest against imposing vast naval
expenditure. on the people without
their mandate. The government, how
ever. fully expects to get its naval
program through parliament. but on
l. after a determined opposition.
Other important subjects of the
agenda include important amendments
To the Bank Act, alterations i'm the
law of naturalization. the West In

specting the control Of western lands.
and several questions of party policy.
including that of the tariff.
The redistribution of parliamentary
constituencies made necessary by the
last census, which will deprive Con-
servative ontario of four seats and
will give the Liberal west some twenty
odd seats. may be allowed to go over
to the next session. A postponement
will, of course, precipitate a bitter
opposition from the Liberals.
From present indications there will
not be particularly heavy list of pri
vate bills at the present session. An
exception, however is the divorce
cases, which number more than 100
and thus exceed all records.

HETTY GREEN NEARS -FOUR
SCORE MARK; IS II TODAY

New York. Nov. 2l.-JMrs. Hetty
Green mistress of fortune estimat-
ed AT close to one hundred millions,
reached her seventy seventh birthday
anniversary today. The wealthiest
woman in the world does not take
much stock in birthday celebrations.
and the fact that this was the ami
versary of her birth caused no vari-
ance of her usual routine. The day
was remembered, however. with mes
sages and tokens from her son, f.. II.
II. Green, her daughter Sylvia, and
the latter's husband. Matthew A.
Wilks.
Mrs. Green has retired from the act
i've management of her vast affairs.
Such, at least, was the announcement
made more than year ago. when f..
ii. X. Green gave up his home In Tex
as and came to New York for the
purpose, as stated. of relieving his
mother Of the great burden imposed
upon her by the care of her own af-
fairs. She visits her banking offices
daily and IL is nothing out of the or
dinary for her To attend several di-
rectors' meetings between the hours
of 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. In the mean
time. Ned" as she fondly calls her
only son, continues TO spend much of
his time In Texas where he has large
railroad and other interests that re-
quire his personal attention
Had Big Fortune Early.
At the age of seventy-seve Mrs.
Green is handling the largest fortune
possessed by any woman In the world.
II the popular estimates are correct.
her fortune exceeds by some 500, ,OOO.- =
600 or more that of Mrs. Russell Sage,
who is reckoned the second richest
woman in the world
The wealth of Mrs. Green is widely
diversified. Her real estate holdings
fairly freckle the face of the coun-
amounts To millions, while in Boston,
where the foundation Of her immense
fortune was laid yeers ago by real
estate investments. she still possesses
entire streets of residence and busi-
ness property Her mortgages en-
brace some of the safest properties
in a chain of cities extending from
the Atlantic TO the Pacific. Railroads,
steamboats,. traction roads, mines of
gold. silver, copper and iron. tele-
phones and telegraphs, all contribute
10 her income, and II Is her proud
beast that not one investment is a
losing proposition.
