"Ianorance of the Law"

Take an innocent little statute. One
lawyer (maybe country counselor)
says it is dead Another lawyer says
1t is alive. The poor little statute
does not know whether it is coming
or going, whether it is alive or dead,
afoot or horseback. And yet mo man
can plead ignorance OF the law" A
man may go to jail If he does not
know the law-unless he is a lawyer.

NEW YORK. Dec. 14.--with three
distinct varieties Of mystery hover
ins about the guarded door ot their
meeting room. the masnates Of the
National league began their annual
meeting ct the Waldorf today. Peace
Of some sort with the Federal

to end the strife that last year won
the fans to the amateurs: the mar
keting OF the Cubs 10 the highest
bidder. should any bidder bid high.
and trades involving everything and
everyone from backstops to batbags
were the mysterious reports during
the morning.
A decided change In the attitude
OF the National league toward tho
Feds was noticeable. Their de-
meanor was sharply contrasted with
last years annual meeting when the
Feds were given small considera-
tion. Now few Of the owners would
oppose the sale of franchise to q
Federal magnate. and this conces.
sion having been made It would not
surprise many close followers Of the
sport 10 learn Of an agreement sub
ordinatinE the rederals. but recog-
mixing them and their sinews Of
war.
That the Cubs arc on the market
has been considered nn open secret.
and this fact, spl!ced with the
knowledge that Federal leaguers
have asked Owner Taft for terms,
led TO a strong suspicion that the
Chicago club would change hands.
