A delegation was present, from Atlantic, la . asking for a franchise, as was a rep resentative from Hiawatha, Kan. The director were not able .o deride on ths matter of Increasing the number of team In the league at this time, but Vsssed a resolution that If tha league was Increased both Hiawatha and Atlantic would be admitted. However, at thla time It seemed to be tha opinion of those present that the league would be confined to six towns, the same as last year. Fred Carey was elected president of Mink league and Fred Hull of Marysvllle. Mo., secretary and treasurer." It was decided to hold another mect:ns In a short time to decide as to the matter of Increasing the number of teams In the league. All directors present reported thlr towns had raised the guarantee but Shen andoah, and there a few business men plfdsed the amount necessary. During the meeting there was a stormy session between Director Tolle of Falls C:ty and Lafe Htggina of the Auburn team, In which the latter charged the former with encouraging a rough team In playing dirty ball, thus winning the pennant last season. T. A. Wilson, president of the league for last year, refused re-election, as he was going to travel next season for his health. It was one of the most enthusiastic meet ings ever held since the organization of the league. Isbell Says He'll Move if Sunday Men Win Pueblo Fans Who Want Western Again Get This Answer from ' Wichita Manager. WICHITA, Kan., Dec. . (Special. )-Tn reply to a request from the business men of Pueblo, Colo., to move the local West ern league franchise to that city. Frank Isbell, owner of the club, has written that he will transfer his team to Pueblo under proper Inducements, If the antt-Sunday base ball law Is passed In this state or if the south end citizens force him to move hi ball park. Roy Corhan, a former Pueblo ball player, who played with St. Joseph last season, opened negotiation with Isbell for the transfer of the club, but he was authorized to do so by Pueblo business Interests. He tated that Pueblo fans would gladly give a bonus to the magnate who would take another Western league franchise to that city.

THIRD BASE BALL LEAGUE MOVEMENT PRACTICALLY DEAD Little Probability that Matter Will Ha Disease at Iteettaaj of Miiialri Next Week. NEW YORK, Dec. .-Th gathering of the big base ball magnate for their an nual meeting here next week is believed likely to develop the statu of the "third league" bate ball movement. From what can be learned In advance, there seems to be less worry among the club presidents than there was a few weeks ago regarding the moves of D. A. Fletcher, promoter of the proposed rival organization. If the re port of ground lost by Fletcher In his effort to corral star player and secure other support for the so-called outlaw cir cuit are confirmed when the magnates get together, there is aald to be little likeli hood of offldal cognisance being taken of th third league proposition.

Mrs. Payne says that he was a very fine looking and approachable young man, and that he had the good will and admiration of the people of all classes. He was a frequent visitor in North Hampton, coming down to give boxing lessons and exhibi tions, and was very popular among the younger element. In demeanor Mace was particularly free from vices. Mrs. Payne's husband, John Payne, who died about twenty years ago, was a particular friend of Mace, and some of the other prominent fighter of the day, and witnessed most of the champion's bat tles. He was a close friend of Joe Close and backed him for his first fight. While Ooss was visiting In this country during Mr. Payne's lifetime he came clear to Ne braska to see the latter.

To the Editor of The Bee: If Mr. Boyles Is quoted cor rectly by your reporter, he corroborates my idea that a commercial course should be Installed In the first and second year In our high school. He says, "Although most of our pupils are Otnaha people, they are those who are not eligible for high school, or they are those who have spent two or three years" there." Now of the approximate 00 pupils that are entering our high school, only about 200 graduate, so that about 400 are dropping out during the four years and these are probably the one who are making up the majority of the matriculate In the com mercial colleges. They drop out from our high school because they either can not afford to continue their studies or thev have no inclination for the academic courses but have a deelre to take up com mercial branche In order to make a live lihood at the earliest poHsibie opportunity. For these students, a thorough course in commercial branches should be installed free of charge and save the poor parents of the girl and boys the tuition fee of from $M to $125 which Is charged by the commercial colleges. Mr. Boyles also state that there Is only a small percentage of graduates from the eighth grade who enter the commercial colleges. Assuming that his statement Is correct. If an opportunity Is given to those children to take up a commercial course In the high school in tha first and second year free of charge, probably a majority of them would avail themselves of that opportunity given them In our high school, and while the boys and girls would take up the commercial course In the high school, they would be compelled to take other branches prescribed In the curricu lum, such as English, commercial math ematics, spelling, history, etc., an? thus broaden their sphere cf knowledge which in Mr. Boyle' opinion I so essential in the makeup of good business men and women, and rightfully so. I am glad that Mr. Boyles Is of the opin ion that the installation of the commercial course in the high school will help his college financially, n was never my In tention nor my desire' to hurt any of the commercial colleges In Omaha. My resolu tion in the Board of Education was not for that purpoee and I also never Intended to make our high school a competitor to any commercial college. All I desire Is to bring to our high school students which never enter the same or to hold In the high school the ones who are dropping out dur ing the four years, and to give them all a practical course of studies, free of charge, whereby they could earn a llvell- B.nd .Wh"e they are takln s udies in the high school, to give them also the academio branches of practical value which they do not receive in the commercial college. I have no quarrel with Mr. Boyle nor with any of the other commercial colleges and if the Installation of the commercial course in high school will help them fi nancially. 1 am Blad of lt and , am Bure that no member of the Board of Education will begrudge li.

Dec. 9.-T0 the Editor of The Bee: I notice In your editorial this morning the atatement that lory Ism in England die hard, but It Is bound ulti mately to go. That .tatement la likewlae true of America. I think you are the most inconsistent people I ever saw. On the same page you laud the liberal In Eng land and oondomn Representative Norrls and the insurgent for fighting for popular government In America. You have defended high protection, a tory policy, the liquor traffic, a tory policy, government by the vested Interests as represented by Taft and Balllnger, twin brothers to the policy of Balfour end Landsdowne, and oppose the Initiative and referendum because the people would hBve a chance to vote the saloons and brothel out of Omaha. I should think the last election would be sufficient to show you that torylsm cannot flourish In America, for while tory repub lican in nearly every Instance went down to defeat the Insurgents doublet! their rep presentation In both branches of congress. If your paper had hod Its way, we would have had a democrat elected as governor of thla state. But with a county option can didate and platform we carried the state by 15,000, while If a tory republican like Roeewater or Webster had been nominated he would have been defeated worse than the tory Burkett. I suppose I am wasting ink writing thi, as I have noted that you never give space In ycur paper to anyone except torle like Webster et al., defending Taft and Bal llngerlsm, or demociats like Bryan, oppos ing county option. But that doesn't mat ter. You cannot prevent the spread of pop ular government anywhere, In England nor In America, and yo jr paper will not gain in the long run for espousing torylsm. Your truly, B.

CENTER IS MOVING WESTWARD Tendency nf the l.araer CnmBMnlea Is to Invest Rands In ttie Regions Which r rod ace the Preinlnms. CHICAGO. Dec. . The fourth annual meeting of the Association of Life Insur ance President opened Its session here today with Paul Morton, pre'dent of the Equitable Life Assurance society, presid ing. Mr. Morton, In his opening address, proclaimed the west the future center of Insurance activities, declaring that ths "star of Insurance, like the star of empire, westward takes Its way." He said: "American life Insurance never stood so well; never was so saie or surrounded by so nmny safeguards and never of fered the public so much for Its money as it does today. The ex pense of management Is being curtailed. Economies of all kinds have been Intro duced, siid dividends to policyholder are being increased. The chief ambition of the Association of Life Innurance Presidents is to emphasize the fact that Pir.-e great life insurance companies belong to the people. and that nothing in the way of regulation, taxation or legislation can be done to In jure them, which the policyholders will not have to pay for themselves. How Business' Has liiono, "Fifty years ago life Insurance in the United Stales averaged $5.25 per capita. Ten years ago it had risen to $9 per capita and today it is estimated as amounting to about $li0 per capita. Fifty year ago tliu total outstanding life insurance carried by all old line life insurance companies doing business in the United States was less than that now carried by Illinois companies alone. Within fifty years the volume of life Insurance business has Increased from $166,0(JO,O00 to $13,7(10,000,000, almost one hun dred fold, though in that time the popula tion of the United States has Increased less than three-fold. Western people will be glad to know that as a general proposition the eastern life insurance companies are making an effort to invest their reserve fund In those sec tions of the country which produce the premiums. I know of one large life insur ance company which five years ago had real estate mortguges In only eleven dif ferent states, but which today has them In thirty-one different states. I know of one company which has $H,000,OCX) less in mortgage loans In New York City than lt had five year ago and wnich during that time has Increased its mortgage loans in other states about $18,000,000."

Mr. Morton also said the meeting Is being held out of respect fo the "v.onderful valley of the Mississippi." which "agriculturally, commercially. In dustrially; financially and prospectively Is greater than all the far-famed valleys of history, and yet lt Is only In the vestlbu'e of It Infancy, so far production And wealth are concerned; and In my opinion Is destined to hsve more political power; more prosperity; more happiness and greater In flLtnce In the affairs of the world than any other similar area on the face of the globe. "We are also here because of the very happy Investments that life Insurance companies have made in the middle west. We want those who live here to understand that while the estimate reserve held for policyholders residing In the Mississippi valley amounts to about $5S3.0ii0,000, the llf Insurance companies hav Invested In this same territory over $726,000,000; In other words, e are not, amany are led to be lieve, draining thla section of the country of its money In life Insurance premiums and taking it east to Invest, but on th contrary we hav actually Invested over $143,000,000 more In this territory than w ui urn 1 1 11 1 1 1 .iii.ii ii i trtnn iimmmmimmdmmmmmmmmmmmmmtmmtimmmmmmHlmtommum H On December 6 and 20 At tbc lowest fare ever named are the round trip fares via L. & Oilcaro St. Levi Si.
