The following is what the Manchester
Union has TO say about baseball for the
coming season, and seems to have hit
the tack on the head in a remarkable
way. "There is nothing new in the base
ball news of the big leagues. Johnny
Evers still chews tobacco, Ty Cobb con-
tinues to edge out all other players for
space in the newspapers, Maranville is
still known as Rabbit Eight teams
in the National league, seven teams and
the Athletics in the American league,
will be peunRnt winners in 1917"
The Worcester team in the Eastern
league has surplus staff of moundsmen,
with nine drawing from the payroll.

Supreme Court Decision in

Washington, April l0.--Determinine
the important question regarding control
by patentees of retail prices of their
products, the supreme court yesterday
pronounced unlawful the "limited Ii
cense" plan under which the Victor Talk
ing Machine company and many other
products are distributed.
In another similar patent infringement
suit of the Motion Picture Patents com
pany against the Universal Film Manu-
featuring company and others the court
held invalid restrictions of the patents
company upon the use of competitors
films in its projecting machines The
court held that patent grants for ma
chimes give others the right to use them,
subject to the patent right, with ANY
appropriate material or supplies" This
overturns The courts decision in the Dick
nimeograph case The court did not dc.
eide legality of the Victor plan of limit
ing distribution solely through licensed
dealers.
Justices McKenna, Holmes and Vande-
vantcr dissented from the decisions in
he Victor case. The Victor license plan
was held TO be mere price fixing, (which
would work injustice to the purchasing
public and designated to avoid the courts
previous decisions. Justice Clarke an
noanccd for the majority that the Dick
miIneograph decision, which greatly ex-
tended the so-called patent monopoly"
81 patentees, was overruled The new
decision greatly restricts rights OF pat
2ntees To fix prices os their products or
restrict the use of unpatonted articles
with patented machines. The new Clay
ton act was the ground given by the
majority for overturning the Dick mime
ograph case and thus circumscribing the
of patents.

Alfredo Cocchi, SAC West 127th Street,
in the hope of finding some clew to
the missing Ruth Cruger. worked all
day yesterday without getting appre-
ciably closer to the solution of the
mystery.
The box which the diggers struck
shortly before they abandoned work on
Tuesday was unearthed yesterday. 1t
was full Of rags. A torn shirtwaist,
two rusty spades and quantity of
white powder, believed TO be chloride
Of lime, were also turned up. The
powder will be analysed.
Mrs. Grace Humiston, attorney for
the Cruger family. who has been direct
ing the excavation, was told yesterday
afternoon that the vault was merely
the bed Of a naphtha tank. After in
vcstigation the woman lawyer an
nounced that she didn't believe it and
ordered her diggers to proceed with
the work. They will be back at work

By 3 of Democratic

Washington, June Reinforcement
of the proposed Federal woman suf-
frage amendment by a vote of 3 to 2
was given to-day by five Of the ten
members OF the Democratic National
Executive Committee in informal ses-
sion after a regular business meeting
had adjourned.
Mrs. Abby Scott Baker, of Washing
ton. press chairman of the National
Woman's Party, was given a hearing
by the committee. and made plea for
support of Federal amendment. Then
Representative Glass. a recognized
opponent of the cause, moved that the
committeeman ask President Wilson to
recommend 20 Congress immediate sub
mission of the amendment 10 the
states.
Committee members said Mr.. GLASS;
action was facetious and that the vote
had no significance other than to repre-
sent the individual attitude Of mem
bers. since the committee was not for
mally in session and less than a quorum
was present.
They said Chairman Vance c. Nc
Cormick, W. W. Marsh. of Iowa. and A.

100000 More Enroll
In City for State
Military Census

Two hundred and fifty thousand more
New Workers enrolled yesterday for
the state census. This makes a tota'
registration so far Of 100000. II
approximately the same number reg
lister to-day-the last day of the first
week of census taking-the total will
have reached just half the number OF
those between the specified ages esti-
mated to live in New York. +. p.
Goodrich, ceusus director for the city,
has put this number at 100000, but
Captain G. G. Henry, the state ceusus
director, thinks it is only 100000.
In any case, with all the delays and
confusion due to the lack of of blanks
and their improper distribution
throughout the city, there seems every
likelihood that the census will be COM
pleted here ten days hence, on sched-
ule time. The possibility of further
delays has been greatly reduced by the
receipt Of authority from Albany u
have the needed blanks printed here.
Contracts have already been let TO
local printing concerns for 100000 ad-
ditional blanks.

By Grand Army Post

Mitchell Refuses
To Take Place on
West Side Board
Names Marks, Connolly and
Van Name a Committee
to Handle 1t

Mayor Mitchell, Controller Prender-
CAST and Borough President Pounds Of
Brooklyn washed their hands OF the
West Side improvement problem at the
meeting of the Board Of Estimate yes
terday.
After the board had adopted a reso-
luton, presented by the Controller,
discharging the Port and Terminal
Committee Of any further responsible
ity in the matter, the Mayor named
Borough President Marks, Borough
President Connolly of Queens and
Borough President Van Name of Rich
mond as members of the joint confer
ence committee which is to act in
conjunction with the Public Service
Commission in any future negotiations
in the matter.
The Mayors appointment of the con-
ference committee served two apparent
purposes, in the opinion of those who
have followed the West Side matter
and are familiar with the alignment and
personnel of the Board of Estimate. 1t
served to emphasize the disgust of the
Mayor and his associates on the Port
and Terminal Committee for the Ott-
inger-Ellenbogen law, which frustrated
their work of four years toward a
settlement Of the problem, and it af-
forded considerable amusement TO the
other members of the board. There
was more than ripple of laughter.
Connolly Heads New BOARD
Borough President Connolly, who has
been consistently opposed TO the much
discussed West Side agreement with
the New York Central. which was
shelved by the Ottinger bill, was named
as chairman Of the committee. Bor-
ough President Marks, although at first
in favor of the plan, afterward Bit
terly opposed it. Borough President
Van Name was not even present yes
terday to accept the honor conferred
upon him. He has rever gone on record
as in favor of or against the old plan.
The opposition, however, will now have
full sway in the matter.
The Ottinger law provided for the
appointment of three members of the
Board Of Estimate on the joint con-
ference committee and two members
Commissioners Hodge and Hervey have
already been appointed. The Mayors
appointments surprised the opposition
members.
President Connolly first opposed the
appointment of the members OF the
joint conference committee, declaring
that il should be taken up in executive
session and that ut least one member
Of the board who had opposed the pro-
posed agreement should be on the COM
mittee. The magnanimity of the Mayor
completely surprised Connolly when he
suggested that he thought Eat least"
two members who had opposed the plan
should be on the committee. and
straightway appointed Connolly, as
chairman, and Borough President
Marks. The Mayor then said that he
would name Mr.. Van Name Sin order to
preserve neutrality"
Committee Praises Action
While others laughed. President Con-
molly and his supporters shouted that
Nov, we'll get action" Connolly de-
clared that they would get action from
the railroad or tear up the Eleventh
Avenue tracks"

John Bernard Manning, the aged de-
PENDANT in the 100000 breach OF
promise suit brought by Miss Honora
May O'Brien, took the stand in the
Queens County Supreme Court last
night and gave his version of tho
events which caused him to break of
the engagement.
Justice Cropsey, evidently fearful
that long -drawn-out trial would prove
too great a strain upon the defendants
eighty-four years, insisted upon the
night session. Manning leaned upon
his secretary's arm and heavy hick-
ory cane as he made his way to the
stand, but. whatever his physical con-
dition might be, he soon showed that
he still possessed the shrewd mental
faculties and keen memory which ena-
bled him to build up his fortune.
At times his replies were scarcely
audible, and the stenographer fire.
ouently had to read them over again
to the Jurors. At other times he
pounded his cane vigorously on the
floor to emphasize his denials, and his
white beard tapped up and down in re-
Spouse to his swapping jaw. Still again
he would rest his hands on the crooked
handle of the hickory stick and chuckle
at the Renaissance of some converse
ton with Miss O'Brien.
Says He Suspected Plot
The two strongest points he brought
out were that Miss O'Brien's brother,
James, had filled out the marriage
license, giving his age as only seventy
five, and that it was largely on the ad-
vice Of Cardinal Farley that he had
broken the engagement lie was sus'
picous, he said, that ne was being
made the victim of a conspiracy. But
il was the recounting of the incidents
on the night of the alleged proposal
December 10 last-that caused him most
amusement.
He said that Miss O'Brien and her
brother came 10 his home, at 81 River
side Drive, for dinner at his invitation,
and that he asked them TO go 70 the
theatre. They replied, he said, that
they had come there to do business.
"'You can't do business here | re-
Piled" he said Then ] suggested a
game Of cards. and Miss O'Brien and

he wanted 20 see il. When il was about

we'll play just one more game to see
whether you have me or ! have you
During the game O'Brien turned TO his
sister and said: Manning is winning,
May. You seem to be anchored won
the game.
Says She Unbuckled His Shoes
"Then Miss 0'Brien suddenly got
down and unbuckled my shoes. Il don't
want you to do that, said. 4 always
do that myself I'm doing this to
show you how we'll will take care of

skirts about me, picked me up and car
