Instead of Increasing the number of crimes punishable by death tho movement Is to abolish the death pen alty altogether. 1 have no sympathy with kidnaping or kidnapers, but believe they should bo promptly and effectively dealt with by means of n good, stiff penitentiary sentence, but with a death penalty attached It would be Itnposslblo to convict them be fore a Jury If they were apprehended. Kven tho optional death penalty, to be determined by a Jury, would not accord with modern Ideas. I expect to sec some legislation on acted on kidnaping, but the death penalty will bo cut out." Iniiiinturr Apportionment Hills. The apportionment bills that have al ready been Introduced by various mem bers of thtlr own uccord as thu product cither of their own figuring or of some mathematical constituent all strike terror to tho representatives In various districts that tiro being shifted around like pawns on a cbessbourd. Tho apportionment com mlttes will have to toko theso bills and work them out nnew Into some practicable scheme. In nil probability tho apportion ment bill, when It comes up for final action, will have to bo brought before tho caucus and wade n caucus measure. "A great many people want to know'," said Chairman Lindsay of tho republican stato commltteo, "when the bill favored by tho committee will bo forthcoming, and have token It as a matter of courso that the .ommlttoo or Itn officers will prcpnro an apportionment bill. I do not believe this Is ono of tho duties of tho committee, and If we did prepare ono It would have no more claim for tho support of tho republl can members than any of them, I be lieve, however, that tho matter Is so Im portant that It nliould be delegated to a committee of representative men familiar with nil parts of tho state nnd with the political complexion In various counties. Thoy might bo members of tho legislature or might bo outsiders raited In to nsslst with' advice, but they should proceed only after the most careful Investigation and ccrsultntlrn with tho Interests of every cctlon. Tho trouble with most of the bills prepared by the Individual member Is, that while they strike It all right In their Inimedluto localities, they fly wido of tho mark In moro distant parts of the state The next apportionment will have to hold good for at least three legislatures to come and It Is of great Importance to the pnrty and to the people generally."

Frank Dcllaas Robinson of the St. Louis base ball club gave out the following statement concern ing tho withdrawal of MrGraw and Robin son from the National Baso Ball nssocla- lon: Before the last meeting of tho National association was held nt Chlengo last winter McOrnw and Robinson hnd both signed egular National Icnguo contracts to play bnse ball with the Baltimore Base Ball compntiy, Mr. I Inn 1 on president und Mr. Von Dcr Horst treasurer for. tho baso ball season of 1900. This wns done on the same Ighl, nnd that same night McGrnw, to gether with Mr. Peterson, tho president of the ucw club thnt had been organized Baltimore, started to attend the meet ing of their association. As Is well known to nil, McGraw and Robinson had previous this time deserted the Baltimore Baso Ball company nnd had become the prime movers In the now National movement, They had never Intended to remain with thnt club, but, on tho contrary, sent pri nt o letters to Mr. Hanlon of the Balti more club, asking If he would meet them some place. Mr. Hanlon decided he would meet McGrnw und Robinson and hear what hoy had to say. This wns after the new baso ball company had been Incorporated nnd had elected ofllcers, and gone so far as to effect n lease of the ball grounds. which was the property of Hanlon, Von Dcr Horst nnd others and had been Itn urocd to over $3,060 In cash. .Meet llutilnn nu the Unlet. "McOr.iw and Robinson stated to Hanlon that they did not want to play ball with he new National association or become connected with It If they could mnko suit able nrrangcmentB with Mr. Hanlon nnd Mr. Von Dcr Horst. At the conference held by Von Der Horst and Hanlon, tho two said they would llko to inoko n contract with him to ploy ball with the Baltimore club for tho season of 1900. The propo sition submitted wns: McGrnw said ho would sign n cbntrnct with the Baltlmo.-o club belonging to Hanlon nnd Von Der Prbrst If ho were paid a salary of $5,000 for the season, Robinson would sign If ho were paid 13,200 for tho season and In nddltlon they stntcd thnt If McUrnw wero released or his release sold to any cliib n the National league he wns to recclvo $3,500 In nddltlon and If Robinson wns sold he was to receive $2,500 In addition. "At tho tlmo this proposition wns made to Mr. Hanlon he snld be could not glvo them an nnswer until ho had consulted with Mr. Von Der Horst. I had been In Baltimore before and nt this very time. Von Dcr Horst called mo Into a conference nnd submitted tho proposition that hnd been made by Mc Grnw and Robinson. Van Dcr Horst then nnu tuero dccinied mat no would never agree to nny surh terms, stating thnt It was an outrage If thn Baltlmnrcs were compelled to pny this kind of a bonus for tho return of what they considered their stolen prop erty. I finally suggested to them thnt it was not right thnt tho Baltimore club should stand nil of this loss. Itohliinuu Tn ken lliiuil hi Dent I sltfd I thought the National league would share In the loss and help reimburse tho Baltimore club In caso Hanlon nnd Von Dcr Horst accepted tho terms of McGraw and Robinson, and both Hanlon nnd Von Dor Horst snld If I would telegraph to mem bers of tho National league asking them If the National Icnguo would stand by them In this matter nnd slmro tho loss with them and get their consent to do so, that they would ncccpt the terms proposed by McGrnw and Robinson, Tho latter also agreed that they would break up tho now National as soclatlon and drop them entirely, this bo- Ing part of tho consideration. I consented to telegraph to tho members nf the circuit commltteo of the Natlonnl league and did so, nnd getting replies from them that they would stand by the Baltimore club. Mr. Hanlon then again met McGrnw and Robin son nnd accepted their terms and they both signed National leaguo contracts calling for tho amounts stated, namely: $5,000 salary for McGraw and $3,000 salary for Robinson. Hanlon then mado a separate contract with McGraw and Robinson whereby they agreed to be released to any other National leaguo club If they wero paid the Amounts stated, uninely: McGraw, $3,500, and Robinson, $2,500." MeGraiv Miikcs Futile Trip to ChlciiRo Aftor McGrnw and Robinson had signed the contract McGraw took tho train, ac companled by Mr. Peterson, tho president of his new baso ball organization, and started for Chicago, where they wero to attend the meeting of the National asso ciation. It wns McGraw's Idea to break up that association at that meeting, but ho found Qulnn nnd Havener, representing the Mllwaukco club, Spink, Schnefcr and Heckle, representing tho St. Louis club, Anson representing the Chicago club, Rlchter representing the Philadelphia club, and others nt thn meeting when It wns called to order. Theso persons, It seems, had each brought with them n bond, for, I think, the sum of $5,000, which each club wns to put up as a guaranty of good faith, nnd they were bo strong In believing thnt their new movement would bo a success thnt McGraw found It Impossible to carry out his plans at that meeting. McGraw at this meeting had Peterson nnd himself put on a commltteo to see Mr. Koch for tho Philadelphia parties and to sco If they wr.ro ready to put up their bond and sign tho agreement that had been drawn by tho association and nlsn to select tho eighth city to represent tho league. This gave McGraw the opportunity to carry out his plans and ho, cither beforo leaving Chicago or whllo on tho road, wired to Mr. Hanlon to meet him tho following nlghl. In Baltimore nnd ho would explain mattoru to him. Ilahlon met him and McGraw told Hanlon thnt ho would go to Philadelphia to put up their guaranty Immediately nnd If thoy did not do so ho would telegraph Ansen that ho wns through with tho whole matter. Tho St. Louis ball club, after the Na tlonal leaguo mooting held Inst spring In Now York, purchased the rclenfe of Mc Oraw, Robinson nnd Kelster. paying tho sum of $1G,500 for the same. In addition to this amount, thn St. Louis dub had to pay and did pay McOrnw's salory for the sea son of 1900, $.",000, nnd Robinson's snlnry of $3,200. Tho St. Louis club had to ns sumo nnd pny and did pay to McGraw the sum of $3,500 on account of his release, nnd to Robinson $2,500 on account of IiIb release, nnd paid for n man's service for running their caloon while they wore nway during tho ball season. The amount of $14,250 was paid for tho release of MrGraw and Robinson. Sloni I lly Out of tin (in nir, SIOl'X CITY. In.. Jan. 13.
