one-day honeymoon in Albany and went to the Bronx to live.
 Were Living Happily.
 The mature looking Oscar obtained a taxicab drivers license and the two were living happily in their furnished room when relatives, after a long search, found them.
 Last night they were taken apart, and the problem they tried to solve themselves will be handled by the cold process of law.
 Oscar was arraigned before Magistrate Farwell and was held in 5000 bail for a hearing May 10.
 The boy, clinging to his love for the girl, refused to believe that she was his sister. Because of the lapse of years and the involved cir cumstances of their separation, he said he felt mistake could have been made.
 "They told me she was my sister but I didn't believe it," he told the magistrate.
 Oscar started to tell his story, but was advised by the magistrate to say no more until he had obtained q lawyer.

Walker of Douglas county, to change his will just be- fore his death, and leave his $40,- 900 estate to . Methodist hospital at Rice Lake instead of to his rela- tives, the Wisconsin supreme court has upheld a lower court decision cancelling the will under which the religious organization would have profited. The decision, written by | Justice Walter c. Owen. upbraided the ministers flor using their spiritual calling to further temporal ends"
 Justice Owen in the opinion
 pointed out that the ministers not
 only used undue influence to get the estate from relatives to whom it originally had been willed. but
 also succeeded in turning the dying
 man against his relatives.
 If such undertakings meet with the approval of those ministers to

MAJOR LEAGUES
GIVE ATTENTION
TO DRAFT RULE

NEW YORK, Dec. IL tP-While
managers of major league clubs
started casting about in the player
market today, club officials gathered
here for the annual meetings of the
American and National league focused
a good share of their attention on
the tangled draft situation.
The draft, which the majors depend
on for a good share of their new
material, was a salient topic this
afternoon when the steering" COM
mittee, representing both major cir
cults, met with Commissioner Lands.
What decision on policies, if any,
was reached by this steering group
was not disclosed. 1t was indicated,
however, that the majors will insist
on retention of a draft arrangement
with the big minor league circuits
accompanying such insiStence with a
threat to leave these circuits "out
in the cold" on player transactions
unless the draft relations continue.
This struggle between the majors
and 'AA" minors, including the
international, American Association
and Pacific Coast leagues, has been
going on for some time. 1t was
brought to the fore recently at Dallas,
Texas, when the minor league con-
vention demanded that these big cir
cults, along with the Western and
"Three Eye" circuits, abandon the
modified draft relations now ef-
fective with the majors. Under the
modified draft, the only players sub
ject to recall by the majors are those
who have served previously under the
"big top" The full draft entities Clle
majors to choice of all the material
The modified draft enables the big
minors to hold their newly developed
stars and sell them for high prices
such as in the recent case of Cissel
infielder, sold by Portland, Ore, tc
the Chicago White Sox for a reputed
$123, 900. .e
The big minor circuits consistently
have baked at restoration Of the full
draft. They are expected to maintain
this stand even though it leads tc
another baseball conflict. Wha'
tactics this conflict may involve
largely depend now on the actor
