district judge, who sat in the court for the eastern district of Missouri in
 place of Circuit Judge Sanborn of St
 Paul, who had charge of the receiver ship proceedings in the start and who
 instructed the receivers to bring the
 restitution suit If they found that the
 evidence justified such action.
 On January 22, 1914 the receivers of the Frisco filed suit in the federal
 district court for more than Sl4.000,-
 000 against ten men who were direc
 tors of the Frisco from December 1,
 1909. 10 June l. 1910 During that
 time the Brownsville road was pur- chased The ten men sued were B.
 F. Yoakum, former president of the Frisco board of directors, James Campbell of st. Louis. vice president of the Frisco. and head of the North American Company which instituted tae receyership proceeding and sev- en other former directors of the Frisco w. K. Bixby of st. Louis, A. S. Greig of St. Louis, B L. Winchel of Chicago, E. B. Thayer of Boston and C. W Hirard and Frank Trum- bull and Hans Winterfeld of New York
 On March 20, 1914, the Frisco re- ceivers filed with Judge Sanborn an agreement made with A. T. Perkins, syndicate manager of the St Louis Union Trust Company for the can cellation of notes he'd by Perkins purchase of the New Iberia Northern and the New Iberia, St. Mary and Eastern lines which were promoted by syndicates in which Frisco off cials had been represented. The agreement provided for the cancella. ton of various Frisco debts aggre- gatng $f,6OO,0OO and for the return of the New Iberia roads to the syndi- cate that promoted them.
 The St. Louis and San Francisco was thrown into the hands of receivers on May 27, 1913.
 Soon after the receivers were ap- pointed, the United States senate or dered the interstate commerce com mission to determine the causes of the recevership
 After mucn documentary evidence had been studied an oral hearing be- gan in St Louis last November In this hearing directors of the Frisco told of the syndicates of which they Aad been members that had promot- ed subsidiary lines in Louisiana ana Texas and sold them to the Frisco at a profit The interstate commerce commission submitted it's report to the senae Januarty 26, 1914. This re- port attributed the insolvency of the Frisco to disproportionate capitaliz. ation, the acquisition of new lines, of the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico and other Texas lines; requirement of the stock of the Chi cago and Eastern Illinois, the sale of securities at prices "so low as to deplorably weakened credit or an eXtravagant arrangement with banks to whom large profits ac- crued in the purchase of the bonds and their subsequent sale to the pub lie"

st. Louis, Nov 10-Suits to re cover $ll000.00o from directors and former directors of the St. Louis and san Francisco railroad were dismiss ed in the federal court hero this aft eInoon
 The dismissal suit which was filed by the receivers is part of the plan of the receivers to disclaim a liability of the Frisco railroad on a $2600O,00O bond issue of the New Orleans, Tex as and Mexico railroad.
 That it was the intention Of the re c5ivers 10 disclaim that bond issue was published several months ago and plans for the dismissal of the suit then were under way. These plans were halted by the death of James Campbell, one of the defend ants m the suits.
 13e situation was outlined in the federal court today by Loomis John. ou attorney for the receivers. He announced that the dismissal of the uit would not preclude the filing of 2 similar suit and that such a suit might De refiled after the liability of the Frisco on the $2G,00Q,0oo bond issues had been determined
 Tha receivers desire 10 contest the liability of the $26,o00oO0 bond issue and felt that to do this effectively they should dismiss the $14000, GOO restitution suit against directors and former directors. 1t was felt that the receivers could not consistently 9 aim that the road was not liable for he bonds, if they claimed that the officers of the road had exceeded heir authority in making the pur- hase of the st. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico road which included a guarantee of the bond issue. If the bond issue was Illegal there was nothing to restore to the Frisco on the part of the directors
 The attorneys for the receivers is sued the following statement:
 "ln as much as the dismissal Of this action will deprive the defendants oi the opportunity 10 meet the charges If fraud We deem 1t but just to them to say that We nave made an ex baustlye examination of the matters entrusted to us.
 "Wa found that in the so-calleC Brownsville and Iberia deals Cfor tht latter of which settlement has beer madel there was in our opinion ar excessive exercise of authority by tn, directors for the results of which, 1T the case of the Brownsville, the di rectors probably could be held ac couutaUe, and that certain of then also might be held accountable fo 1 profits made ya of the deal if tn. courts shuu decide that the Prise, Is fable at all on account fthe New Orleans, Texas and Mexico division bonds.
 We have failed. however. to fint and judging from the information lhat We have, we do moi believe tha any of the directors of the St Lout and san Francisco Railroad Compan, have been guilty of any actual. wilfu or intentional fraud in the administra uln of the affairs Of the company.'

MAJOR LEAGUE BASE
 BALL PEACE CERTAIN
ALL MAJOR AND MINOR LEAGUES OF ORGANIZATION HAVE CON.
 FIRMED THEIR LOYALTY.

Omaha, Mob, Nov 10-All talk that the National Association of Base ball Clubs, which includes in its mem bership any minor league of coase- quence in the United States and Canada, would as a whole or in any part break away from organized ball was set at rest today when they pledged themselves to support the national agreement The resolution placing the association on record was disposed of without a dissenting vote. The action of the convention relieved a high tension and the satisfaction felt was evidenced by the convention making little attempt to transact any other business during the remainder of the day
 None of the members of the na tional commission was willing to talk about the future of the Federal league but nearly every delegate was willing to admit that the minors were quite out of sympathy with outlaw baseball. It was apparently understood also that if any further attempts vera made to keep the Federal league in the field the members of the organ zation alone would have to bear tn, responsibilities.
 B B. Johnson returned to Chicago tonight satisfied with the result of his visit.
 Governor Tener and President Au- gust Hermann will remain in the city until the convention closes Thursday
 Other matters of routine nature will occupy the convention during the remainder of the sessions. The Can adian Northwest league and the Can adian league have asked for permis. sion to close their parks during 1915 on account of the European war.

Biq Demand For Cotton.

New Orleans. Nov 10-With i'm porta1t southern spot markets show. ing advances of from one 10 three siXteenths of a cent a pound today, the attention of the cotton trade was centered on the demand for actual cotton, in support of the interest aroused by developments which ap peared to point to the reopening of the future markets within the nex, few days.

SUMMARY OF
 THE WAR NEWS

The battle in West Flanders and for miles to the south in French territory continues with unabated fury. There apparently is little change in the general sit uation but each day of the fight ing has meant encouragement oi forces at certain places, which in the end must be of vast impor- tance when the opposing armies come 10 grips in the final strug- gle.
 The advantage is claimed by both the Germans and the allies and it is possible both believe they have made gains at the points where gains are certain to count in the end Meanwhile there unquestionably has been great loss in killed, wounded and prisoners.
 King George has sent to Field Marshal Sir John French his con gratulations on the pluck spirit and endurance shown by the Brit ish troops against vastly superior forces, and expresses confidence in the final result.
 The official statement from Berlin declares the western cam paign is making satisfactory but slow progress, that 500 French and English prisoners have been taken in the vicinity of Ypres, that further south the German troops have repuised strong counter attacks by the British and are advancing, and that in the Argonne region favorable progress is being made.
 The situation in the eastern arena is somewhat uncertain owing to conflicting reports. From Petrograd it is stated the Austrians continue their eyacua- tion of positions to the southeast of Lemberg in Galicia and in Bukowina With respect to the latter territory it is said that with the exception of garrison of re- servists no Austrian troops are left.
 On the other hand a Berlin dis patch by way of London says of ficial reports from Vienna an nounce the evacuation of the greater portion of Bukowina by the Russians, who are being pur- sued by the Austrians,
 Professor Fares, the British government representative with the Russian army, without giving details or the result of engage. ments, says:
 The theater of the recent op- erations Gin Russian-Polandl is of crucial importance Here Austria and Germany join hands and se- rious reverses compel them either to retreat on divergent lines or to expose one or the other of their capitals
 The loss of the cruiser Emden and the bottling up of the Roe nigsberg have rejoiced the British public.
 Advices from South Africa re- port the further rounding up of rebels. not far from Pretoria, where an additional 120 have been killed or wounded.
 For the first time since l700 there has been an execution in the tower of London Carl Hans l4ody. German spy. who lived for a time in the United States. was shot.
