Hamilton (United Press staff correspondent) New York, Nov. 7. Bent on doing 'several things to the national agree- uient, primed with suggestions of many I forts, broken in pockctbook, but not j in spirit, the minor league baseball j magnates of the country begin today i to step into the limelight. They are on their way to New Orleans, where a I week from todav they will open their annual meeting. ! The minor leagues have been in a bad way for a long time and many a bush I town mogul has been spending his nights without sleep trying to figure out a plan whereby baseball cau be made to pay in the smaller cities of the country. Nearly every one of them has plnnucd some sort of a suggestion and the air at New Orleans is going to be full of them. Ko-distriHitig plans are part of the rumors flying around regarding possi ble re organization of the small cir cuits. These reorganizations as planned call for splits in present circuits that are almost unbelievable. Drastic meas ures will l)e suggested and there are some magnates who believe at least a part of them will be adopted. The minors feel they have not been getting the right sort of treatment and they wnnt some changes in the national agreement. Alson Dave Fultz has a hone to pick with the magnates, and some new demands already arc in os session of the national board for sub mission at the Aew Orleans meeting. The minora some of them want representation on the uatiousl commis sion and this is another question that will get lots of attention. ed by us iCnd as a reprisal the town of Kheims was shelled, ' the statement said.

(From the National geographic Magazine) Athos, a (ireek peninsula jutting out into the Aegeau sea, is a stronghold secure against femiuiuists, suffragists, suffragettes and ladies militant. To put it more plainly, an ancient law for bids any female creature to set foot on the soil of the sacred mount. As one might suspect, of course, in a world inhabited by descendants of Kve, that Inw has been broken. There are leg ends of inquisitive empresses who were miraculously prevented at the door from defiling certain monasteries by their intrusions. There are other leg ends of monasteries subjected to fast ing, humility and purification by reason of some such uninvited guest. Kveu the furred and feathered colon ists of Mount Athos are supposed to leave their harems at home. Neither cow nor hen wakens the echoes of the monastic community, and the monks' kitchens are supplied with milk, butter and eggs from thoir distant farms on the mainland. The dispiriting effects of celibacy are nowhere so visible as among the army of tomcats that haunt the cloisters. After extensive experiments British manufacturers have found that paper can be economically mndo from a grass that grows freely in Biirmn.

The flood of bal lots which will sweep either Wilson or Hughes into the presidency March 4. be gBn rising early today. While publicly sponsors for the re publican and democratic organizations declare entire confidence in the vote, privately they ore very much at sea. In no previous election has there been such Ttl. Av.comP''e tasck of indication of which WBV the straws blow. The "silent vote" nas been more silent than ever before. Since the campaign opened about Aug- 576 192'nstlO there have been half a dozen dif 391 197lferent "trends" to public sentiment, overlapping at times. Today both sides were claiming the benefit of such a cur rent. The most unusual eleventh hour de velopment iu connection with the elec tion was in the betting. Wall street prides itself on having always picked a winner, I'd until midniuht the odds have favored Hughes. But today they opened with less advantage to the re publican nominee almost at even money. At the Waldorf, Tex Rickard, discard ing for the nonce the role of fight pro moter to act as bettinff commissioner. couldn't place money except at even odds. More republican cash was in evi dence than democratic. It was estimat ed that at least 47,000,000 will change hands on the verdict of the voters todnv probably the largest sum that has ever been wagered on a presidential election. But if the odds here were slightly in favor of Hughes, messages from certain mid-west cities indicated a complete eversal. In Cleveland, for instance, betting commissioners here said Wilson ruled the favorite. The American people may expect first complete city returns from two or three small hamlets in Massachusetts, which have had the proud distinction of be ing first to be mentioned in half a dozen elections. . In the pivotal state of New York, first returns are expected from Buffalo, where voting machines are expected to give the result immediately after tb ( nollu close ut 5 n'elnelc. .

Many people are under the impres sion that the leaves of the trees and creepers turn red or yellow or purple or brown under the action of frost, but the truth is that frost has nothing to do with the change. The leaves in Sep tember and October begin to change loug before we have frost. It is merely the ripening of the leaves, just as J erl much trnnKlA in Rnl,,i.il. i o,,,i ' roundine couutrv bv their Inwlessness THE FIRSTRETURNS (Continued from page one.) into Chicago this afternoon from all sections of the state indicate that the womans vote iu Illinois would approxi mate 750,000 and would probably be the controlling factor in the disposition of the slate's electoral vote.

Richardson. . In March of 1888, he wus appointed by Governor Pennoyer superintendent of the state penitentiary and his man agement of this institution reflected great credit ou his advanced ideas.
