LEAGUE HAS ANNUAL MEETING Louis C. Conor and Ted Sullivan Are Tendered Respective 5w Praa ' rhlses Meeting Genuine I-OTe Feast. The Western league held Us annual meet ing Wednesday at the 80I1IIU hotel In Omaha, awarded the pennant of 1907 to Omaha, and voted to add Kansas City, Kan., and St. Joseph to the circuit, mak ing eight Instead of six teams. It voted to give the Kansns City franchise to Louis C. Connor, who lives in Kansas City, Kan., and conducts a commission house In Kaosas City, Mo., and the St. Joseph franchise to Ted Sullivan, the veteran who la at home wherever there Is a base ball Ham. Each man muat plank down J2.G0O before ha se cures his franchise. Mr. Connor offered to produce 'his yesterday; Mr. Sullivan has until Saturday. The circuit committee meets In Chicago Saturday to confirm the action of yesterday. The schedule commit tee will then meet. , I "We will have the elgM trashs, I feol 'certain, and If Mr. Sullivan does not take the St. Joe franchise somebody else will. Of Mr. Connor's Inking the Kansas Cty franchise there Is no doubt." This statement was made by President Norrls L. O'Nell at the conclusion of the meeting. It was voiced as the sentiment of all the magnates. These men were at the meeting: Presi dent O'Nell of the league; President Rourlto of Omaha; George Tebeau and R. R. Burke of Denver; Ducky Holmes of Bloux CKy; Guy W. Green and John Dey Smith of Lincoln; Joe Cantlllon for Dea Molncs, Ted Sullivan and Louis C. Connor. Tho meet ing lasted from the middle of the afternoon until about 8:30. It was pronounced by all as a veritable "love-feast," harmonious In every respect. Net Heaulta of the Meeting. The directors of. the league, Tebeau, Holmes and Cantlllon, held their executive session and, Uien the other magnates Jolnod In the deliberations. Aside from the ex pansion of the circuit, the constitution was revised in such manner. President O'Nell said, aa to modernize but not vitally ohange Its provisions, and arrangements were made for the meetings of the circuit and schedule committees In Chtaago. Most of the time was taken up with routine work on the constitution. In discussing the schedule a popular sentiment developed favoring April 15 an(the beginning of tho season. President Rourke of Omaha was placed on both the circuit and schedule commit tees. The others of the circuit committee are Mike Cantilllon, George Tebeau and O'Nell; the schedule committee, Mike Can tillon and Tebeau. - The old board of direc tors, Holmes, Tebeau and Joo Cantlllon, was re-elected. The magnates all tried to get out of town last night. President O'Nell left on the Northwestern for Carroll, la., on base ball business. Mr. Cantlllon had to hasten te Chicago where his mother was believed to be dying. Ted Sullivan went to Chicago, where he hopes to bo 'able to cinch his entrance into the league. Pueblo had no representative present. Mr. Burke held its proxy. Frank Selee Is again in ex tremely poor health. Rourke la Well Pleased. "I am pleated with the outcome of the meeting,;'., was Hie .statement of President Rourke . of ..Oniaha, "Omajia. received fair treatment and steps taken Indicate a pros perous and harmonious season for the league. '. The meeting really was a love feast, he best Western league meeting ever held"." Mr. Rourke's seAtlments were those gen erally expressed. ' "I feci certain we did no' one an unfair ness," said President Q'Nell. "Wo are fac ing a good year. I have done riy best to expand to eight teams and am convinced of the success of my efforts'. If Mr. Sulli van 'does .not take St. Joe but I thlri k he will someone else will.". "I want to get Into St. Joe,", said Ted Sullivan, the old patriot whose name has been familiar In fcase ball since the latter part of the '70s. "I know the town has not had the best of records as a money maker, but I have certain' assurances of co operation there and believe I can make it go. I will go back to Chicago and make my final decision by Saturday." - . The magnates chose to give Mr. Sullivan only a one-year franchise. This he vig orously objected to. TeWau Is Turned Down. Mr. Connor encountered the most stub born opposition of George Tebeau to the ad mission of Kansas City, but Tebeau was voted down. Mr. Connor admitted ha "made concessions." The fact is Mr. Connor is apparently a clean-cut business man, doing business on business principles and he made Mr. Tebeau "see" things. He made Mr. Tebeau see that a team In Kansas City, Kan., would not Injure, but benefit the American association team In Kansas City, Mo.; that Kansas would permit Sun day base ball and afford a place fur Te beau to play his Sunday games. He also made Mr. Tebeau see that sentiment In both Kansas Cltys Vas not pro-Tebeau, but favorably disposed toward Mr. Connor. 11 j also made Mr. Tebeau see that the West ern league was no longer a one-man affair. Kansas City. Kan., comes in with the clear understanding that schedules will be so arranged that neither Western league or American association teams will suffer, conflict being avoided. This was mutually satisfactory. Another vital consideration to which Mr. Connor had to agree was that his park should be five miles from the Missouri state line. This caused no excite, ment. Mr. Connor had taken the precau tion to supply himself with two parks, one in the heart of Kansas City, Kan., the other at Wyandotte, the required distance from the Missouri line. Something of the Teams. "I haven't much time tut nn up players, but if money will do it I will gut a cliain plonehlp team," Mr. Connor promised. "1 will at least not flnisii below seoond place. I have a manager In uiuid, but as I t Is under contract somewhere else I cannot disclose his name You will have do caiike to regret the admission of my town' "If I complete the deal I will put In, a good team, one that will play ball and draw crowds," bald Ted Sullivan. "Really, while we are always expected lo boost our own towns, I never had aa good an outlook as I have at Bloux City; 11 makes me want to smile all the time,' waa Ducky Holmes' testimony. , "Lincoln will be right up and coming nil the time," quoth Mr. Green. "We will have much the same team at Denver," said Mr. Burke, "and I believe that with the association of last year the men will be able to do better work.' We are getting an old-timer, a major leaguer, for field captain, but I cannot name him now. Kidle Wheeler played good ball, but lacked experience for the position of man ager. Of Pueblo I cannot speak with au thority, bur I learn that Patterson, who managed Oskalooaa, la., last year, will play' first and manage the team. I think they wll( have a good club." Joe Cantlllon said of Des Moines: "Certainly is In not mean to dispose of Des Moines. ' Why should wT It's a good town and we we going to make It better We will have a good team. I want Charley Dexter for manager1; I think he Is the best man we can get fur the place, but my brother, Mike, opposes my Ideas some what. However, I think Dexter will be our manager." Ducky Holmes will field captain and manage his own team and Fox will captain Green's Lincoln' bunch. ' Omaha will, of course, be led by Buck Franek. Tebean la Rat t'noa. Certainly George Tebeau, If events of the meeting are as reported and as they seem to 4e,'was "sat upon." In the early part of the day, when asked about the expan sion proposition, -tin said with a self-complacent smile: v '" "There's nothing to that elght-teftm talk. The league will continue with six teams." In thenvenlng after the meeting he said: "The meeting was harmonious end I am satisfied with the deliberations." The' loague was expanded. There Is a firmly-grounded belief that Mr. Tebeau waa not satisfied, bul, being a diplomat, would not admit It.. Mr. Connor, the Kansas City man, made an excellent Impression upon all. He Im pressed the magnates with the fact he meant business and was able to lay down his hand with Mr. Tebeau In Kansas City. C11AXCK REPLIES TO FOXY NED Cnb Manager K plains the Facts of the Overall-Wleker Trade. Though it la getting to be an anolent event In base ball history the Overall Wicker deal between Chicago and Cincin nati continues to be a matter of discus sion. Hero Is a story from tho Chicago Tribune that must be of Interest. . , "1 would trade a bat bag for Mike M.tchell If the other side was agreeable." In these words Manager Chanre of the champion Cubs yesterday took exception to the criticism recently leveled at him by for mer Manager Ned Hanlrm of the Cincinnati team anent the trade of Pitcher Bob Wicker for Pitcher Overall and a bonus of K,W0. "The reflections cast on Overall and my self by Mr. Hanlbn are entirely without foundation." said Chance, "and his state ment as published Is Incorrect. Before Overall had ever prayed with Cincinnati 1 had- played against him out on the coast, and when I heard he hud been signed by tho Reds. I suggested to Manager Selee that ho should try and trade Wicker for him. Mr. Selee approached Ourry Herrmann on the matter and the deal was settled, sub ject to the consent of Joo Kelley. Kclley at once said that"tinv Ditcher uoort enmiirh for Chance was good enough for hltn and. uueicneo. me trade. . "Overall accordingly went to Cincinnati, where Manager Hanlon made the great mis take of trying to overwork him. It does not follow that' because a man Is big he can stand as much work as a smaller man. Hanlon Insisted that Overall was over weight and forced him to take five mile spins around the park after practice, with the result that Overall was overworked and unable to do himself Justice. He would pitch throe or four Innings and then would tire, with the result he was criticised both by Hanlon and the Ohio papers. "At the time I did not think Wicker was giving the Cubs the bost service he was capable of. and for that reason was ready to trade him. Up. to the time a trade of pitchers waa broached with Cincinnati I did not know If Overall would he willing to come to Chicago, and asked Hanlon If It was agreeable to him to have me approach Overall on the subject, to which proposi tion he agreed. "I have never made It a practice of tam pering with the players of other teams, as, naturally, I have objections to other managers tampering with mine. I told Hanlon that Wicker's record for the pre ceding season stood -for Itself, and lie him self, khew how successful Bob had been. The trade was on the level, and had it been possible to get more money to boot wo would have beort .quite Justified In taking It. Hanlon is trying to covr up his mis takes by laying the blane where It dous not belong. "Overall, when ho came to the Cuba, told me lies arm waa weak, and I turned him loose to report when he felt his arm was In shape. There Is ho harder worker on the team than Overall, and he la left to use his own judgment In. the matter of the work he does. This rule, I may say, ap plies to most of my players. If a player 'aa not sufficient brains to look after him self in this respeoV I de- not want him on my team. - ir "Jn eddition toUhls I might add that Mr. Hanlon, In the pre'senee of President Mur phy and myself, sahl the Overall was muscle bound and could not raise his arm higher than his shoulder when pitching." President Murphy yesterday received the signed rontraot ef Blalno Durbtn, who is at Hot Springs, Ark. Overall was around headquarters yesterday and Is suffertaig from granulated eyelids, for which he may have to undergo a slight operation. WITH TUB. LOCAL HOWLERS.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 0.-Wardl Hana han, 2o years old, an invalid, was burned to death In the home of bis mother In Kansas City, Kan., early today. His etothtug caught fire from an overheated stove. He was unable because of his malady lo speak or move any part uf his body aad when Ma mother found Mm he waa a mass of flames. The flames were smothered with a blanket, hut he died without regaining consciousness. FISH LUStS POINT (Continued from First Page.) been the same, and Its executive officers, with one exception caused by death, have remained the same from that day to this. The relations between the I'nlon Pacific and the Illinois Central are now what they were when Mr. Fish waa In power and as sisted In shaping, and consented to such re lations. Nor Is any change intended, If the affidavits of well-known and reputable men may be considered as true. The bill, how ever, charges many things which may happen to the detriment of toe Illinois Cen tral and ls stockholders If the Union Pa cific) and the becurlllea company be per mitted to vote at such meeting; but no facts are alleged or proved which even lend to bring about sucn results. Courts of equity act on facts alleged and proved, and not on fears, or su.posed prophesies. If It were not for the fact that the name of Harrlrnan Is a name to conjure with these allegations would not be taken so seriously. There are many things stated In the bill as to the Intention of the defendants which It put In force, or even attempted to be put In force, would call upon the court to intervene; but a diligent search of this record falls to show mat such things exist In any form. The complainants say that if the Union Paciflo and the Securities company are permitted to vote at the coming election, tho hold of Mr. Harriman upon, and his dom ination over, the Illinois Central wiil be strengthened and that finally the Illinois Central will be reduced to a servient posi tion and will be given the lean end of the carrying trade. But they fall to allege and prove facts supporting these allegations. While Mr. Fish may rightfully desire to remain a director of the Illinois Central, und to that end may use every lawful means In the power of himself and his friends, he has no right to that office un less he Is legally elected thereto. Hence, his defeat, It It comes from the lack of valid votes, s no legal Injury to the civil or property rights of Fish or those of his fellow complainants. Not Keepers of Conscience. As private citisens the complainants are not keepers of the public conscience, nor are they the conservators of the rights of tne public, i To sustain this bill It Is not sufficient for them to show merely that the act complained of la a public wrong; they must also show that by the doing uf such act they will suffer a special Injury to their civil or property rights. This elec tion of directors at the coming meeting cart work no legal wrong to the complainants and no special Injury to any of them Is proved which calls for the Interposition of this court. The court thrn asserted that the findings and opinion of the Interstate Commerce uommisalon are not evidence In this case and declared that he had no power to en force the Sherman act, and quoted numer ous legal decisions In support of his as sertions, tl'he decision then continued: There is put one ground upon which this bill can be maintained. If the Union Pa cific had no right to buy, hold or own stock In the Illinois Central or in the Se curities company, or either of them, and IS inirUUIllg , ill line election wnouy wiinoui right, then I think bona fide stockholders without alleging irreparaoie injury may ask she oourt lo throw them or it out. This brings us to the question, Is there in the public policy of this stute a prohi bition against the voting by a foreign corporation of stock In a domestic corpora tion, which stock It purchased and paid for and holds under an express power granted to it by the state of Its creation. The court declared that corporations per se are not debarred from buying and hold ing the stock of other corporations and said, that the fact that the purchaser might be a foreign corporation and the stock that of a domestic corporation could not change the rule of law. Foreign Corporations No Different. He said: The reason why purchase of the stock of the Illinois Central by the Union Pacific and the Railroad Securities company are Invalid, If they ure invalid, must tin found elsewhere than In the fact that they are foreign corporations. . . The court denied that there Is any rule of the American common law prohibiting one corporation from holding stock In an other corporation when the first corpora tion has in Its charter specific power to do so. In this case, he said, It was proved and not denied that the Union pacific and the Railroad Securities company each has express power granted to It by the state of Ha creation to buy, own and bold stock In other corporations. The court then entered upon a long and extensive discussion of various statutes regarding the holding of stock by corpora tions In other corporations. declaring finally that such holdings are not prohib ited by law, nor opposed to public policy. He then said: The right of the Railroad Securities com pany to vote Us Illinois Central stock ia unimpaired by the fact thut the Union Pacific owns practically all of its stock. So long aa the voting power of the Securi ties company Is used In a lawful manner and for lawful purposes, It Is immaterial who owns the stock. The decision further declared that tke Union Pacific and the Illinois Central are not competing, but connecting lines, and that the Union Paclfle, under its charter and the laws of Utah, has a clear right tc own shares of stock of Illinois Central which Is purchased In 1906, and that it has the essential right to vote that stock at meetings of the stockholders of the Illinois Central, unless the right is forbidden by the laws or public policy of Illinois. Law la JVet tpeelflo. The .court said. In conclusion,' on this subjeor: . -, Such prohibition does not exist unless It affirmatively appears. It is not estab lished by the mere lack of legislation upou that subject. In concluding his decision Judge Ball saidi - The usual office of a preliminary Injunc tion Is to continue the status quo until the Una hearing. To sustain this prellmlnsry Injunction and thus prevent the Union Pa cific and the Railroad Securities company from voting their stock at the coming elec tion, would be to change the status quo before the right of these corporations to own and vote such stock has been fully and finally determined by the court. With these conditions barred out, the meeting might result la an entire change of man agement of the Illinois Central. To dis solve the Injunction and to let the action of the court In regard to the ownership and voting power of this stock await the final hearing, means no more than the contlnuanoe of the present management with the change of one director only, and he eight of the director defendants swear, will be an able, competent man, neither controlled nor connected by or with the Union Pacific. 1 am of the opinion that the Securities and the Union Paciflo have foil rnii.ni.in of the shares they iold In Illinois CentraC Including the right to vote that vote at the coming meeting of the stockholders and that such right lo vote la not forbidden by the statutes of this state nor by de cisions of our supreme court nor by the policy of Illinois. . ' The motion to dissolve the injunction Is allowed. The attorneys for Mr. Fish agreed that the opinion of Judge Ball could not be appealed from. "It is a nonappealable order," said At torney Farrar, between puffs from a large black Havana, "the merits of the case must now be tried, a decree entered and lEfeDEiTOai: K7A EsatodtMnal ir.':ar.im the best uzessan NATURAL LAXATIVE WATER CONSTIPATION then we will be able to take an erpoa,l." "Will you go ahead to try ths rrtt 0f the caseT" waa asked. "Yes," replied Attorney Farrar. "When?" 'As soon aa the matter is reaohed.

Harrlmsn declined today to comment rn the Illinois Central decision until he had time to read th decision in full. "I hope It is so clear cut as to" remove all doubt," he said.
