J AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETING Magnatet Decide that Postponed Garnet Huit Be Played on Nii Trip. WARM SESSION IS EXPECTED TODAY rropdiril Consolidation Scheme I hat Will Leave Krrrral (lab Ont la thr Cold Mar tome t CHir.VJO, Nov. 22. Thr American Hnso MnP league met In annual session here today and dc.pl!e the avowed state ment of Charles Comlskey. president of tin- local club of the organisation, two dins a (to, that the American league was on the verge of disruption, today's session was as hormonlmis as a family reunion. Routine business occupied the time of the m.tgnates at today's session and another meeting will he held tomorrow. 'What business Is to ronie up for consideration tomorrow Is problematic. All the members of the Icncuc tonight seemed averse to dis cussing the affairs of the organisation. There, was an apparent feeling of unrest among the magnates, however, and the general belief tonight Is tha the proposed amalgamation of the American and Na tional leagues will conie up- for consider ation. Should this proposed scheme be sprung upon the magnates, tomorrow's session will be a warm one, as, according to reports of the proposed plan, should the deal go through It would leave several of the t-lubs of which the American league Is composed out In the cold. Plan of Amalgamation. The plan of amalgamation, It Is said by those In a position to know. Is for a com bination of the two present melor leagues into a major and a minor league. In Boston, Philadelphia and Pt. Louis the teams of the American and National leagues are to b consolidated, and In the other cities where the two leagues re main the National league ctubs are to be taken Into the new National league, and the American league cluba are to be thrown back Into the minor league, whloh Is to take the name of "American league," hut which Is to belong to class A of the minor leagues. If this plan should be carried out It would leave Comlskey of the Chicago club and Farrell of the New Tork American league out of the consoli dation scheme. A knowledge of the pro posed scheme came to Comlskey only a few days ago, and this la said to have caused his attack on President Johnson Monday night. According to the proposed amalgamation plan, the new National league would be made up of eight of the best cities In tho country, with President Johnson of the American league aa the president of the new organization. One of the prlnclpnl arguments against the proposed amalgamation Scheme la that the American league last year enjoyed the most prosperous season of Its existence. Nearly all the members of the league attended today's meeting. The board of directors first held a meeting In President Johnson's office and went through the formality of awarding the pennant to Philadelphia. Playlaar ot Postponed Games. It was nearly 1 o'clock when the mag nates got together to take up the business of the league. The flrat matter considered was a change In the constitution. After considerable discussion. It was agreed that postponed games on the flrat trip must be played on the aecond trip and that post poned games on the aecond trip must be played on the third trip. Another matter that was definitely Bet tied was that in the future the ' annual meetings of the league will be held on the first Wednesday after the aecond Tues day In December each year. T. W. Somers of Cleveland was elected vice president of the league, and Chicago, I Washington, New York and Cleveland were chosen to represent the league op the ruie committee, which will meet a similar com mittee of the National league some time before tho opening of the playing neason next year and remedy any defects in the present rules. Those present at today's meeting were President Ben Shlbe, Manager Mack, and Secretary Hough of the Philadelphia club; Frank Farrell of New York, F. J. Nevln of Detroit. President J. F. Kilfoyle. Sec retary W. Berhard. and Charles AV. Somers of Cleveland; President R. L. Hedges and John K. Bruce of St. Louis, Hugh Mc Breen of Boston, Manager Jacob Stahl of Washington, and Charles Comlskey ot Chl cugo.

Nov. 22 After being on the witness stand before the Armstrong legislative committee on insurance In vestigation for the greater part of three days. Gag" F. TarUell. second vice presi dent of the F.qultnhle Life Assurance so ciety, finished his testimony today and Just before adjournment submitted a list of suggestions for the remedy of existing abuses in the management of Insurance companies, and for legislation designed to give the state proper control over the companies and to Insure the confidence nf the policy holders. Prominent among these suggestions was sbsoluts publicity. While admitting that wrong had been dona by life Insurance officials. Mr. Tarbell said he had no apologies to make for any of them and thst he hoped they would be punished. Tarbell Takes Rahatea. Mr. Tsrbeli was on the atand the entire day and was questioned as to the system of agencies and the commissions and other compensations allowed them for getting business. Just before the recess the fact was brought out thst Mr. Tarbell had taken nut Insuranea on his life and on members of his family and had received the agents' commission on the premiums as well as renewal commissions. He said that since he became an offlrer he had taken out fcjln.ftnn on his own life In the IVlultehle, Resides his policies In tha Equi table he had taken Insurance In the New York Life, the arrangement being made with George W, Perkins, and on this, too, he received the commission on the premi ums. He had also a policy in the Aetna and In the Travelers, on which he col lected the commissions. He said he carried Uoo.noo on his own life and W,nOO on mem bers of his family. Mr. Tarbell was emphatic In denouncing the system of rebating by ngents and stated that any agent of the Kqultable who gave rebates to get business waa dismissed. When he told of getting the commissions Assemblyman Cox asked If that was not rebating, and Mr. Tarbell said It was not, that he thought he was entitled to It. Attempts to Justify Conduct. Later, when Mr. Hughes took up this same subject, the witness Justified the taking of commissions as being similar to a merchant who purchased goods of a fellow merchant In the same line, perhaps to fill an order, snd got those goods at cost, or of a professional man treating another and charging less than the regular fees. Mr. Tarbell further said If he had done wrong he was sorry, but that he had acted in good faith. Mr. Tarbell bore out in a measure the statement of James H. Hyde when on the stand relative to the fairness of the Frick report. The aubject of advances to agents was under investigation and Mr. Hughes read some of the figures of the amount of advances to one agent In this city. Mr. Hughes asked where the Frlck committee got the figures, and Mr. Tarbell replied with marked asperity that he did not know. "They did not get them from my depart ment or the auditor's; they made their re port without ever making an Investigation of the department" he said. When Mr. TarbeH was excused he was followed by Gerald Hrown. who is at the. head of the bond and mortgage department of the liqultable. He was examined about the real estate of the society and was on the stand when the committee adjourned. Mr. Tarbell'a Suggestions. Mr. Tarbell submitted, after reading, a list of suggestions, among which were: Complete publicity.

ANNAPOLIS. Md. Nov. 22 Midshipman Minor Meriwether, Jr., of Dafajette, Da., a member of the third class of tho naval academy, was put on trial here today be fore a naval court martial on charges that Include that of tna nslnughter in having caused the death of Midshipman James R. Branch, Jr. of New York, a member of the class alove him, as a result of a pre arranged fist flght which took place on the evening of Sunday, November 6 last. The sad accident of the death of young Rrnnrh tinder such circumstances has been widely noticed, and baa called attention to tha existence at the naval academy of an unwritten code governing the student body, but quite outsldo the authoritative regula tions, and generally in violation of them. Under tha "code" every detail of these fights is fixed, the midshipmen on duty ab staining from reporting them and excusing from formation those connected with them. These facts were very clearly brought out both by the Judge advocate and In tha cross-examination by TJeutenatit Com mander Rnhlson tor the defenaa. The witnesses today Included Branch's room-mate, the referee an ft timekeeper of the conteat and all the four geeonda were examined In a greater or less degree about all the circumstances of the fight, the con nection of the code" and their Ideaa of their duty under the regulations. Midshipman A. W. Firth, who refereed the fight which was followed by Branch's death, stated that he bad officiated in nineteen such contests, and Midshipman McKlttrick testified that he bad taken part In nine. Detailed accounts were given of the arrangements by which midshipmen on duty acquiesced In absences without leave and other derelictions In order that the fights might go on, and the testimony also showed that although frequently severe in juries resulted from these fights and the recipients often had to be taken to the hospital, nothing further was ever heard of them. This the defense brought out on cross examination. It being evidently In tended to show that the authorities also winked at the code and the prearrange nient of the fights under It Hasina; Still In Voarno. Interesting sidelight to hazing or "run ning," as It Is called at the academy, de veloped from the testimony of the midship men, Meriwether had been generally disliked, he said, because he was too "ratty." That is, It whs explained, that he did not abide by tho rules laid down for tha government of the lower classmen. Some of these were that he should never enter "lover's lane," an academy walk, that he should turn all corners at right angles, should not look at an upper classman, and should answer most respectfully when addressed by one of them, that he must never touch the table nor ask for anything during a meal, and under no circumstances "fuss, mat is, to be In the society of young women. These rules and many others are contained In that part of the "eode" relat lng to the government of underclassmen Branch had been one of the midshipmen who, according to the testimony, deter mined to make life "not worth living" for Meriwether because he wouldn't abide by these rules, and from that the enmity arose.
