THREE BIG BEARINGS II Cr.Ti Fares, Baggage Mo nopoly and Compress Rates Up This Week. Three Important matters ori-sset for hearings before the railroad cdmmls- tlim this week, beginning with the cash fare proposition Tuesday. This question was brought to the at tention of the commission several months ngo by John A.

New York,’ Dec. 9.—Beginning to morrow and for nearly tho balance of tho week magnates -of the National League will be In session at the Wnl- dorf-Astorlo, where they will do some baseball legislating, but possibly moro posing around the round tables In the big cafe. With tho exception of re-electing Harry Pulliam president of the league, which will be done unanimously, os de served, and the awarding of the Na tional I/ague pennant to the Chicago Club, there Is little work laid out for the legislators to do. President Pulliam has come out with a statement that he will recommend that the pitcher's box. heretofore the "mound," bo reduced to the level of the diamond, and also that he will advocate a big retrenchment In the number of double-headers and will also endeavor ave It made cpmpulsory for clubs to play as many innings In future games as daylight will allow. Another reform will be Introduced by President Dovey, of the Boston Club, In which ho will fix a number of players any major league club may draft In any one year. President Ban Johnson, of the Amer. lean League, advocated a similar plan two or three .years ngo when the minors were kicking over the traces. There does not appear to be any de sire on the part of the magnates change the playing rules. The general feeling Is that it Is best to leave well enough alone.

Cooper and oth er Atlantans, who have returned from Washington, where they attended the Rivers and Harbors Congress and the National Council ef Commerce. "While nothing definite so far has been done In regard to the sub-treas ury," said Mr. Cooper, "events seem to be shaping themselves* so that there will-be a chance to establish a sub treasury In Atlanta. Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou In his annual report urges congress to enact legislation which will distribute over the country the Immense sums of currency now held In the reserves of the large cities. If his advice Is taken It will mean that there will be a need for a Sub-treasury In Atlanta” The Atlanta delegation mentioned the sub-treasury proposition to Sec retary Corttdyou In a merely casual way at one of the receptions, but the Savannah delegation got busy and went In a body to his office to present the matter formally. The secretary said to the Savannah cltisens that >u present nothing can be done regarding the loca tion of the sub-treasury, and then, re marked: "Moreover, I suppose thnt Atlanta will be heard from at the proper time.” Secretary Cortelyou received cordial ly the Invitation to visit Atlanta, which was presented by President Pope, of the Chamber of Commerce: David Woodward, L. A. Ransom. Hecretaiy Cooper ami Judge George Hlllyer. It will bo several days before the secre tary will know whether he can come In January as he said he hoped to do. The meeting of tbe Rivers and Har bors Congress and tee Council of Com. merclaj Bodies promise great results for the benefit of the country, accord ing.to Mr. Cooper’s belief. At the lat ter gathering the Atlanta delegation was one of thirty-three from the more Important cities of the country. L. A. Ransom was awarded a signal honor In being named a member of the advisory committee of the newly formed organi zation. 850,090 against Echols and otherir-on a charge of malicious.prosecution.
