BASEBALL PEACE
GIFT FOR FANS
Federal League Passes With
Signing of Agreement; One
Point Left With Committee

Cincinnati, o., Dec %. 49, The
Christmas present of the National
League to the baseball fans of the
country is peace. After a two days
conference, which ended at o'clock
last night, the joint peace committee
of the two warning factions came to a
final agreement on all details with eX-
ception, and the peace agreement
was signed and sealed by both parties
to the conference.
The Federal League no longer
exists. Its suit against the National
Commission in the United States
court in Chicago will be withdrawn
at once and the league which came
within an ace of disrupting the ma
tional pastime vanishes into history.
The only point on which final settle
ment was not reached is the terms
on which the International League
shall regain it's lost territory in Balti-
more and Buffalo. This matter was
freely discussed and was finally left
to q committee of seven members,
who will meet in this city on January
8, at the time of the annual meeting
of the National Commission. This
committee was given full power to act
and both sides agreed to abide by its
decision. Whereupon the peace agree
ment was drawn up, signed and seal
ed, and the cruel baseball war was
officially declared to be a thing of
the past. The provisions in brief fol-
low:
The Provisions
That all Federal League players
are made eligible to play in organ
lied baseball.
That the Federal League assumes
all the contracts of all of it's clubs,
as a league and not as individual
clubs.
That Charles Weeghman, president
of the Chicago Federals. will pur-
chase the Chicago Nationals from
Charles p. Taft.
That Philip Ball, of st. Louis, will
purchase the st. Louis American
League Club.
That the Ward interest in the
Brooklyn Federal League Club will
be reimbursed, both National and
American League assuming this
burden.
Those who signed the agreement
were: August Hermann, chairman of
the National Commission; President
John K. Tener, Of the National
League; President B. B. Johnson, of
the American League; President Jas.
A. Gilmore, Of the Federal League:
President Charles Weeghman, of the
Chicago Federal League club; Harry
Sinclair of the Newark Federal
League Club; Secretary ]. IT. Farrell
of the National Association; Presi-
dent Edward Barrow, of the Inter-
national League, and President Thos.
Chivington, of the American Associa-
ton.
When asked what disposition would
be made of the suit of the Federal
League against organized baseball
charging violation of the antitrust
law now pending before Judge Ian
dis in Chicago. President Tener of
the National League, acting as
spokesman, said: THE suit will be
withdrawn"

WOMEN TO STUDY
HEALTH PROBLEMS
Medical College Will Give
Course in Elementary Medi-
cine For Mothers

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 81. - The
first course in elementary medicine
and health problems ever offered to
the lay public has been arranged by
the Woman's Medical College of Penn
sylvania for the benefit of clubwo-
men, social workers and mothers of
families in Philadelphia The course
will consist of lectures by the fore
most specialists and educators of the
teaching staff of the college, deliver
ed in the ordinary untechnical Ian
guagc of every day life.
1t will cover all the ordinary prob
lens which women have to deal with
III keeping themselves and others
well. The health of the individual
viii be first eXhaustedly discussed.
then the health of the family will
be taken up and afterward matters
pertaining to the health and SANTA
ton. of the community. The instruc-
ton given will enable students to
recognize symptoms of any of the
more common forms of ailments and
apply appropriate first aid treatment.
Students will also be taught to recog-
nize vicious and unsanitary conditions
at a glance and their remedy.
The establishment of the new
course was the result OF n sugges-
ton made by DIR. Richard c. Cabot,
of Harvard University, during an ad-
dress in Philadelphia to the effect
that all women social workers ought
to have at least the rudiments of a
medical education. AS q result
committee of clubwomen and social
workers of Philadelphia, headed by
Miss Mary Ingham, was formed to
make arrangements for n course
which would supply the instruction
needed. Women of Philadelphia in
terested in matters of health and
sanitation took up with the idea at
once. Applications for enrolment of
the new course We're received from
women in all parts of the city.
Long Felt Want
The new course will supply in
struction, the absence of which has
long been felt and lamented by such
prominent women in social service as
Miss Jane Addams, of Hull House
of Chicago, and Miss Florence San
Vile of the Consumers League of
Philadelphia. It has been felt for
years that the most serious question
which social service workers have to
meet in the course of their duty are
questions relating to health and sani-
tation. Leaders in such work have
complained from time immemorial
that young men and women appli-
cants for positions under them have
not been fitted in any way by educa-
tion for the work they were to per-
form and that when brought face to

Uncensored War News
Procured by Miss Keller

New York, Dec. 23.-Miss Helen
Keller and other blind persons in the
United States are obtaining uncensored
news from the capitals of belligerents
in Europe in newspapers published for
the blind in London, Paris. Berlin and
Vienna, according to Mixs Keller.
These newspapers are not censored,
she says, because they are printed in
shorthand Braille, point type used
for the blind which the censors are
unable to read.
These uncensored accounts of con-
ditions in the -varring countries tell
me the true S ntiment among the
working people and the intolerable
conditions that surround Them" said
Miss Keller. Their hearts are almost
at the breaking point
Miss Keller made this explanation
to show how she obtained information
concerning the war disclosed in n
speech she made recently on prepared
ness.

his most urgent advisors to make
the race for governor, while doing
everything in my power to re-elcct
Luning to his present office If |
can see the above program carried
out shall feel happy. Then it /
can further succeed in my desire
to get Gilchrist for the senate, |
shall be supremacy politically hap
py."
Fits us exactly, In our refer
ence to Luning and what Ran
dolph said of him, it was not our
intention to disparage Knott's
candidacy for governor, but sim
ply to show that Luning is of CUB
ernatorial size. 1t may be little
previous" to hint it, but Luning
will be a good man to follow
Knott as the states chief execu-
tive.

A Matter Of History

held in Ocala in August 1907

announced for United States Sen
ator. Mr.. Park Trammell an
nounced for United States Sena-
tor. Albert w. Gilchrist announ-
ced for Governor. Afterwards
Mr.. Trammell came down and ran
for Attorney General, he support
ing Governor Broward for the
Senate and Mr.. John Stockton of
Jacksonville, for Governor. They
supported Mr.. Trammell for At
torney General. There were only
two candidates for Attorney Gen
eral. Mr. Trammell won out in
the first primary. He then spoke
for Mr.. Stockton and for Cover
nor Broward between the primar-
les. Four years later Mr.. Tram
nell was elected Governor. His
entrance into the senatorial race
weakens Senator Bryan.
While governor, Hon. w. S.
Jennings entered the race for
Senator. Governor Broward did
the same thing. Both were de-
feated. When Senators were
elected without primaries several
governors of Florida tried to be-
come senators. All have failed.
Floridians have always required
their Governors to fill out their
terms of office before announcing
for another office.
While Governor, Hon. N. B.
Broward was even defeated for
the position of delegate to the Ma
tional Convention. After he ceas
ed to be Governor he was nomi-
mated in the primaries for United
States Senator.

in office, has ever been elected to |
