No Antagonism Imminent
Federal League Discussed.

Cincinnati, Jan. 6-With the arrival
today Of the committee representing
the Baseball Players fraternity the Ma
tional baseball commission and mag
mates depending on the decisions OF
this tribunal faced an interesting ques-
tion. The Players fraternity has sub
mitted a number OF requests which 1t
believes will better the conditions un-
der which 1t works To most OF these
club owners and officials of major and
minor leagues have TO objection but
few were debated earnestly previous to
the meeting of the National commission
which was called for II o'clock The del
egation from the players fraternity
consisted Of David Fultz, president;
John Miller Of the st. Louis Nationals,
Jacob Dapbert Of the Brooklyn Nation
ais. John Henry Of the Washington
Americans, and Ray Collins OF the Bos-
ton Americans. Edward Reulpach OF
the Brooklyn Nationals was to nave
been on hand but was prevented by ill
ness in his family.
There was no spirit of antagonism
shown to the rules Of baseball by the
delegates in the preliminary confer
ences in which representatives OF the
National Association of minor leagues
took a part and 1t was predicted that
the ruling court of baseball would give
out a finding that would be satisfactory
to all concerned. This decision is not
expected tonight or tomorrow. but ef-
forts will be made to expedite matters.
The jumping of Otto Knabe to the
Federal league following the lead Of Joe
Tinker Mordecai Brown and other well
known players was much-d discussed
topic today. The arrival Of President
Baker Of the Philadelphia National
league club, was awaited with interest
as it was believed he could shed some
light on the cause OF the action Of
Knabe. What action the commission
would take against the Federal league
was not foreshadowed today, the COM
missioners being content to abide by
the sentiments Of President Hermann

beginning Of the evenings program.
Once in the course of his speech-poli-
ticians said it was the best speech the
Thompson referred to w. ]. Bryan as a
presidential possibility. Instantly the
big hall was in an uproar. 1t was the
same sort of wild, frenzied outburst
that featured Bryan's campaign of 1896
when he stumped the nation as a free
silver champion. Only last night Bryan
was recounting the deeds of the nation

painted pictures Of hope in the future.

Thompson had concluded his speech. he
could find no fault with the applause
that followed his remarks. As for Mrs.
Cora G. Lewis, her speech proved fea-
ture of the evening. She defended the
work of the state administration and in
Kansas politics, declared that militancy
was unwarranted and uncalled for and
that efforts Of women of the state to
control political affairs through clubs
and local organizations was a misdi-
rected energy.
Governor Hodges talked for ten min
utes. He defended the work of his ad-
minisrration and hit back at the men
who he urged had misrepresented
facts and conditions in their zeal to dis
credit the record of his party In the
state. No mention was made by the
governor of political issues in the COM
ing campaign or Of his probable candi-
nation or for the senatorial nomination.

effective plea for harmony in state
and national politics and incidentally
to defend the work Of the educational
board and the state administration.

But the crowd was waiting for
Bryan. 1t was 10 o'clock when Toast

the guest of honor and it was several

time will be required for him to make
a good showing on the Chivington cir
cult as large outlay Of money will
be required and even with an unlim-
tied supply Of simoleons, he must use
some time and judgment in buying the
kind that can fill the bill. But give
him time and he will fill the bill. Just

A Cruise With Stevenson

Robert Louis Stevenson's Edinburgh
days have been quite thoroughly covered
by himself and others. He himself has
told US all we need to know of the south
of France, the Adirondacks and Colorado.
But apart from the cruise of the Casco
and the intimate glimpses We have had
of the life at Nalima there has been
dearth of information about the de-
sultory voyages in the Southern Pacific.
And having once felt the wltchery of
atolls and Iagoons, still, heavy nights
and dreaming lotus-liIie days, with
beachconlbers and supercargoes, and ma
tive kings and queens, We naturally wait
more OF the same thing. In the cruise
pl the Janet Ninlpl' Charles i~Tiun,r's
Sons, New York;, Mrs, Stevenson has
added a few more precious days to the
biography of her husband. True, there
is not much about him, but We get an

he dreamed his dreams, wrought his Wis
ions into words and fought his splendid
baLtle 10" l'e. Aifr.ash the book has
no great value In Itself either as litera-
ture or biography. 1t will be welcomed by
