CELEBRATE PEACE PACT President Powers of National Asso- ciation Will Come West to Assist Pacific Northwest League. CINCINNATI, Jan. 11.—Follogving the adiournment of last night's joint confer- ence of committees of the National and American Baseball leagues there was an informal conference of the National rep- resentatives here during the night and to- day. While the time was spent largely in festivities over the declaration of peace, there was much talk about the meeting of the National League here one week hence. President Robison of the St. Louis club, who stili remains with Presi- dent Herrmann of the Cincinnati club, said the meeting next week was called simply to ratify the plans already made. It was stated by others that with five of the eight National League clubs al- ready fully committed to indorsement, no trouble was expected from Boston or the two clubs of Greater New York. The National League absentee to-day was James A. Hart, who returned to Chicago last night with Ban Johnson, Comiskey and Killilea of the American League. Pulliam and Dreyfuss left to-day, the latter feeling good over the agreement shutting the Americans out of Pittsburg. Pai T. Powers, president of the National Association, also remained to talk over the plans for the future and returned East to-day. Powers says Baltimore will not be taken into the Eastern League unless there s some guarantee of remaln- | ing there. He will go to Californfa to assist the Pacific Northwest League in blacklisting jumpers as soon as the com- ing_conference of the three presidents, Pulliam, Johnson and Powers, is held to formulate an agreement and make uni- form rules for the ratification of the three bodies. ———— Can Flowers Hate? According .to a French scientist, flow- ers are endowed with passions ltke human beings and there are few among them which carnot love and hate fervently. “They have their sympathies and antipa- thies,” he explains, “and if we study taem closely we can easily find them out. Roses are passionately fond of some flow- ers and flourish when near them. On the cther hand, they speedily wither when pluced near other flowers, and we must infer that it is because the latter are not congenial to them. Hellotropes and vio- lels have a lively sympathy for each other, and in like manner there seems to be a warm friendship between pansies and carnations.” “If it can be proved that flowers can love and hate,” says a German writer, commenting on' this state- ment, “it ought not to be difficult to prove uluaz they have souls."—New York Her- al | | not | the doorways | of the stickers ¢ | the market, EXCITING GAME FOR CPECTATORS Americans Barely Nose Ahead by 2 to 1 Score.

His support was a little to the bad also, and this aided in letting in a run. Both teams lded cleverly. The only errors committed by the Americans are charged * to Coughlin at third, who managed tc make two on difficult chances. Donovan dropped a fly in the sixth. The other pair of miscues of the ational team go to Leahy and Irwin. The Nationals started in the first period and secured their only run.

TACOMA, Jan. 11.—Reports from Alaska state that the Indians have this wintep made the greatest catch of furs in recent years. It happened that these comprise chiefly popular skins, such as black mar- ten, mink, silver fox and seal. Fur deal- ers state that in spite of the large catch there is now a shortage of these furs in with the probabllities in favor of an advance in the price of 10 to 30 per cent in the near future. Alaska bear skins are no longer popular, and while they brought from %25 to $30 a year ago, according to quality, their value has now fallen to $10 and $12 where there iy any sale for them at all @ i el @ BOWEN 15 GIVEN PARTING OVATION Foreigners Join With * Venezuelans in the Demonstration.
