ADNA R. CHAFFEE
Hero of Many Battles Won
Promotion to Army's
Highest Rank.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 2.-Lieuten-
ant General Anda R. Chaffee Cretired),
former chief of staff of the United
States army and for years one of the
most picturesque figures in the army,
died at his home here Sunday after a
period of Inconsistencies. His body
will be taken to Washington, leaving
Tuesday for interment in Arlington

General Chaffee had been confined
to his bed for about four weeks, suf-

post at Douglas, Ariz., few days
ago Two other children-Mrs. George
French Hamilton, wife of an army
captain, and Adna R. Chaffee Jr.,
lieutenant in the army-are in the
Philippines.
General Chaffee held the unique
position of having progressed from a
private of regulars to the exalted rank
of lieutenant general. His field of
service extended through the civil
war, Indian campaigns, the Spanish
American war, the Chinese Boxer"
trouble and the Philippines.
After his retirement from the army
General Chaffee was appointed head
of the Los Angeles water board. Later
he accepted the presidency of an in
surance company, but during the last
few months he retired from active
business affairs.

ture general enlisted as private in

der age, having been born April IA.

ORGANIZED BALL

No Definite Information Forthcoming
for Few Days-WiU Have Con!

OUTLAW LEAGUE TO QUIT
Federal League Leaders and
Major Magnates Draft Sat
isfactory Peace Pact.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 2.-Armed with
the peace pact, duly approved by the
Federals and organized baseball,
August Hermann, chairman of. the
national commission steamed out of
Chicago last night bound for his ex-
ecutive chambers in Cincinnati. Chair
man Hartmann made his getaway aft
er an all-day session with Ban John
son, president of the American league,
and Charles H. WeeghInan, owner of
the Chiefeds, who acted as spokesman
for the Gilmore circuit during the two
days deliberations.
Peace was declared at the meeting
which was held under cover, but only
after organized ball agreed to make
several concessions in favor of the
third circuit, according to a tip from
the inside.
Outlaws to Quit Field.
The details of the arrangement were
not available last night, but a report
! emanating from the Federal strong
hold had it that the outlaws" would
cease to operate as a major league
and that full provision would be made
for the magnates who had affiliated
with the Fed organization.
| Scouting parties organized by the
baseball writer's and repeated tele-
phone calls to the haunts of the pow
ers that be in the national pastime
proved unavaiiing.
This secret confe. ence coming on
the eve of the annual meeting of the
American league scheduled for next
| Thursday at the Congress hotel and
| the annual session of the National
Association of Professional leagues
the governing minor body, which
starts one week from today at Omaha
will have a tremendous bearing on the
future conduct of baseball, according
to Weeghman.

In fact, the Chifeds magnate seemed
inclined to go into detail and relate
! some of the propositions that had been
put up to him, in his role of spokes
man for the Federals, but acting al
the suggestion of o. B., the North
Side owner suddenly went into a
clam-like silence.
Until the magnates step to bat with
further information dealing with the
peace pact, the fan army must hold
it's breath, happy in the assurance
thowever, that the hatchet will soor
be buried and with every prospect Of
there being but two major league bal
clubs in Chicago when the champion

English Women's
Beautiful Complexion

There is no nation in which the
woman live as sanely as do the English
and there is no nation in which the
skins are as fair and clear. Under per-
feet, natural conditions a we'll balanced
life would guarantee a beautiful and
healthy skin. But the ordinary social
and economic American life Of today
forces the system to furnish SO much
vital force for action that nerves. eyes
and compilations all suffer. In addition
to this strain many women further
abuse their skin by covering 1t with
pore clogging powder instead of doing
the wise thing-that Is, using lotion
which protects and smoothes. without
choking the pores.
The reason compilations suffer so
much in summer Is because powder
does not offer sufficient protection
against the hot sun. A plain spurmax
lotion not only safeguards the skin from
the elements. but in itself Is a beautifler
of great worth. To prepare this lotion
at home. dissolve ounces spurmax
from druggists in Y pint hot water Cor
witch hazeD and add teaspoonfuls
glycerine. This applied to the skin be-
comes invisible and imparts velvety
softness and dainty tint to rough,
faded skin, relieving that shiny, oily
appearance, and its use will insure q
clear, lovely complexion.
