New York, Nov. IS.
Messrs. Byrne, Brush, Hart, Van
Der Horst and Young, the committee of
National Base Rail league, has
made the following report to the na
tional board of professional base ball
associations: The fundamental prin
ciple of the national agreement, os
originally drawn anil which Is now in
operation, is a respect for territorial

flat upon the floor und was perfectly
rigid. The coroner's physician claims
that the body could not have been
brought here in a trunk from another
city, as confessed to by Holmes, for the
reason that it was stiff, und a body once
bent does not again become rigid.
Furthermore If It had been la tho
trunk It would have shown murks of
where It hud been doubled up, and no
such marks were upon the body. The
theory Is advanced that the body found
was really thut of Pltzel, and not of
nny one else. As a basis for this theory
It Is argued that Pltzel and the other
conspirators plotted to disfigure the
former by burning the face with some
chemical und then culling In a phy
sician to prescribe for his injuries. A
body was then to be procured und simi
larly disfigured as Pltzel was, and then
it was to be given out that the man had
died of his injuries, and It wus trusted
thut the attending physician would not
discover the fraud, and would give a
certificate of death in accordance with
the facts told by the conspirators.
' The Various Theories.
It is supposed that Pltezl had his fel
low conspirators administer chloroform
to him so that he would not feel the pain
of the burns when they were Inflicted,
and that he was either given un over
dose and died from the effects or was
killed while unconscious by his treach
erous friends. Another theory in sup
port of the belief is that a man resem
bling Pltzel was decoyed to the room,
chloroformed and killed, and his face
disfigured so us to render Identification
more difficult.
Another suspicious circumstance, as
viewed by the detectives, is that Mrs.
Pltzel wus home "on u visit about a
month ago to her parents in Illinois
and she said nothing about the death of
her husband. In the neighborhood of
Thirteenth nnd Callowhill streets, no
body could be found today who remem
bered or knew unythlng about Pltzel.

Tunkhannock, Pa., Nov. IS. By the
mistake of a flagman two freight trnins
collided near Hornets Ferry, on the Le

morning. Engineer Freeman, of the
west bound train, was badly injured,
and his fireman, George Smith, had a
leg broken while Jumping from the en

pulled over on the west bound track to
let the United States express, which
had the light of way, pass. The engi

saw no flag, hence the collision.
GRKS1IAM DOUBTS IT.
The Latest Eastern Horror Tale Doesn't
Receive Much Credence.
By the United Tress. ,
Washington, Nov. 18. Secretary
Oresham says he has heard nothing of
ficial of the rumored atrocities In Asi
atic Turkey, whereby It was claimed
10,000 Christians, men, women and chil
dren, were massacred In cold blood by
Armenian unbelievers, and ho does not
think they are trustworthy. The United
States consulate at Slvas Is but L'."0
miles from Bltlls, and our agency at
TrebIzor.de Is only 2i'0 miles away.
It Is thought most Improbable that
such widespread butchery could occur
without these consular ofilclnls hearing
of it and reporting upon It.
one county did the new act cause direc
tors to shorten the school term and re
duce the teachers' wages. Dr. Sehaefer
declares there is no Justification for this
short sighted policy In view of the fact
that the legislature added half a million
to the annual appropriation.
Mauuul training in the school is rec
ommended and reference is made to the
improved school architecture. An ex
tension of the high school system to the
townships districts is recommended; as
Is also a law authorizing directors to use
a portion of the annual appropriation
for the purpose of establishing und
maintaining school libraries.
Training the children for citizenship
and Instilling Into them a love of our
country Is urged by Dr. Schuefer, who
commends the patriotic orders for caus
ing Slum and Stripes to bo displayed
on school buildings. He says, however,
that the girls and boys should be taught
what the flag stands for.
One of the dangers to the school sys
tem upon which the report dwells Is the
peril of sectarianism. He says "It Is
eleurly not the function of the public
schools to give sectarian Instruction.
Tho genius of our state and national
constitutions demands in all schools
supported by taxation, the separation
nnmelv, to employ only teachers or their
own religious faith or political party or
secret society, cannot be too strongly
condemned."
The statistical summary shows the
number of school districts in the state
to be 2,413; number of schools, 24,541;
number of graded schools, 12,869; num
ber of superintendents, 123; number ctf

Lmcrson Osborne Confesses Having As

DeuJ in a Hollow Log.
By the United Tress.
Shuron, Pu., Nov. IS. The mystery
surrounding the recent assault on Mrs.
John Jack, of Kilgore, has been partly
solved by the confession of Kmerson
Osborne, a prominent member of the
Sandy Lake United Presbyterian
church. Mrs. Jack, about three weeks
ugo, disappeared from her home und
und wus found three days later In u
hollow log half deud. She said she had
attempted to take her own life by
beating her head with a stone.
This did not satisfy the authorities
and they arrested Osborne. Yesterday
he broke down nnd confessed all, say
ing he had made the assault, und,
thinking ;Mrs. Jack (was duUt 'hud
placed her In the log to cover up his
crime.
Osborne Is a brother-in-law of Mr..
Jack, ami. It Is alleged, she Is making
I every effort to shield him. Her object

for championship honors.
The interest which base ball arouses
in any city is based absolutely on local
pride. The essence of value to a cham
pionship Is entirely to the city to which
the victorious club belongs.
Experience has demonstrated that
whenever and wherever territorial
lights have been Invaded and rival
dubs established, the clement of local
pride Is absent and Interest In both de
stroyed. It Is this which makes u re
spect for territorial lights a principle
which wo must uphold.
Today thu future of base bull Is con
fronted by a new condition, a condition
which. In every particular, Is us harm
ful and, in many respects, far more
dangerous than open dishonesty or fla
grant dissipation. That Is, treachery
within the lines. Today ami for months
past we have had men identified with
professional base ball who, for years,
have been the beneficiaries of the game,
have received liberal compensation for
the work they have done, earned their
livelihood entirely and absolutely from
the opportunities afforded them by
clubs npd organizations operating
under the national agreement, and we
find und now know that these men, dur
ing this time, have persistently been
identifying themselves with schemes
und combinations, the sole objects and
sole purposes of which are to weaken
and perhaps destroy the splendid fabric
of our nutlunul game w hich it has taken
years of effort, anxiety and large out
lay of capital to construct.
