Three years ago when I opened si little office 6 feet by 9 feet on William street to sell real estate without a noble (For Sale) sign the majority of the real estate men thought that it was impossible. They don't think so now. The (For Sale) sjgn is a thing of the past We must do business with the times. For instance: Would you buy a house on a street where there are (9) or more beautiful (For Sale) signs? I wouldn't Because I would think and so would you that there is something wrong with the neighborhood, or with the property itself.

PROPERTY WILL ADVANCE. That old tale that's been going around for years among real estate owners, "If no use me buying anything, I wish I could sell my own." Will be a thing of the past, just like the horse-car and the stagecoach. That Tale will reverse to: "I WANT TO BUY."

A careful reading of the agreement printed show that the American and National leagues, assume all the power and practically elt on the organisations of which P. T. Powera Is the head. President Farrell of the New York Bute League and President 8exton of the "Three Eye" league, remained over In Buffalo today to talk things over, the Hon. Patricius having gone to New York last night.

When asked about the agreement as elgned by Harry Pulllam and Ban Johnson, Mr. Sexton said that It didn't suit bis people at all, or at least It didn't suit him as their representative. "I didn't sign the agreement as the representative of my league and neither did Mr. Powera nor Mr. Farrell, and 1 think we practically agreed a to the Injustice of the document signed by the presidents of the two big leagues," he said.

"I am not going to go Into any criticism of what waa done or how It was done at this meeting, but if my people, by whom I mean the patrons of the game where I come from, approve of It ana the otner aetegaies irom me minor leaguea do, there "will be no whimper from me. We wanted a reasonable drafting price with a two-year clause. It was Ban Johnson himself who originated this idea when he was at the head of the Western League, and who got It through. The Western was then minor league. Now, however, when he is president of a big league himself he turns that proposition down hard.

The agreement set before ns take way the Independence of the minor leagues. During the late baseball war they asserted their Independence and managed their own affairs mighty well. The minor leagues were never In such good shape and the patronage was never so large as It Is this year and BISONS WON IN SINGLE III Piled Up Seven Runs in the Fifth Inning When Fertsch Went Into the Air.

Each side chose an Inning In which to put forth the supreme effort the Broncnos doing all their work In the very first period, when they engineered three talliesand Ferry fate seemed to be sealed. He was pulled together, though, and after that the visitors could do little with him. Fertsch' turn came In the fifth.

He went so high Into the air that his feet have hardly touched the ground yet. A lot of passes to first, some desultory hitting and finally Luskey's timely double with the bases full resulted In seven runs. With this lead the Bisons went to sleep contentedly. The Bronchos play a postponed game here this afternoon. Next come the Baltimore Orioles, and then there will be some doings.

And the Hon. James A. Hart was with him when he did It. The minor league magnates can sit down for a few days and think over the action of the American and National League committees. Then, If they discover that they don't like the new national agreement they can Just sit down again and do some more thinking.

That'll be the best they will get Pat Powers' eohosts will undoubtedly ratify the new agreement There Isn't much else for them to do.

Representatives of the Nation al, American and National Association of Minor Leagues participated in the conference. -With the draft of an agree ment drawn up by the minor league representatives before them, the major magnates drew up a carefully worded agreement and submitted It at the final meeting. This agreement will be acted upon at a meeting or tne National Association of Minor. Leagues to be held within the next 10 days. President Farrell of the New York State League, who acted as spokesman for the Minor League representatives, declined to discuss the possibility of the adoption of the agreement by the minor leagues.

The National League magnates were not so reticent. James A. Hart of Chicago, a representative of the National League, said "We have conceded practically every demand of the minor leagues. They will have absolute control of their Internal affairs. I think the members of the National Association of Minor Leagues will see the matter In the same light at their meeting, to be held within the next fortnight." The new agreement is signed by President Pulllam of the National League and President Ban Johnson of the American.

They, with Garry Hermann of Cincinnati, as chairman, will form a national committee to adjust such matters as may come up for settlement between the major and minor leagues. The agreement Is in nine sections. Some of the more Important, of them are as follows: Section 1. The circuits" of each major league fhall consist of the following cities: National Boston, New York, Pittsburg, Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati; American League, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington.

Cleveland. Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis. Neither major-league circuits shall be changed without the consent of the majority of the clubs of each major league. It Is further provided that there shall be no consolidation In any city where two major-league clubs exist; nor shall any club transfer or release Its players for the purpose of Injuring or weakening the league of which It is a member; provided, however, that the circuit of either major league may be changed by transferring either of tha above-mentioned franchises to some other city on consent of the majority of the clubs of each major league.

Provided, however, that the sum of S2500 be paid to the league of which said city was a member. Section 2. The party of the second part hereby guarantees that none of the leagues in its-membership shall establish or maintain a club In a city on the circuit of either major league or within five miles of the limits thereof, without the consent in writing of the major league club or clubs located therein, and recorded in the office of the secretary of the Na tional Commission. Jersey City excepted. ARTICLE VI.

Section 1. All parties to this Instrument pledge themselves to reMbgnise the right of reservation and respect contracts between players and clubs under Its protection. Section 2. Any club or league which harbors a player who refuses to observe his contract with a club member of any party to this agreement or to abide by Its reservation, shall be considered an outlaw organisation and its claims to contractual and territorial rights ignored. Section 8.

The right and title of a major-league club to Its players shall be absolute and can only be terminated by release or failure tq reserve under the terms of this agreement by the club to which a player has been under contract. When a major-league club serves notice of release on one of Its players, he shall be Ineligible to contract with a club of another league If, during ten days after the service of such notice of release, a club In Ill-luck keeps tagging right on behind the Bisons. Shoddy Shaw has been added to the list of the maimed. He turned his ankle yesterday and had to leave the game. Luskey took his place and made a two-bagger that put the game on the safe side.

Walter Burnham Is Just now throwing his eighteenth consecutive conniption fit There were baseball stories chasing each -other around the room at the Iroquois yesterday. One of them was that Mllllgan had been sold to the New York National League club for 1000. Stalllngs nailed that one, saying that none of his players would be sold until the end of the season.

He has received offers for Atherton, Mclntyre and German. Stalllngs' hope that the drafting price In the new national agreement would be low. but that any minor league player could he held for two seasons, didn't go through.

Tersely and comprehensively, this agreement la an agreement which hasen't been agreed to, and as it stands la a blank outrage. "I will though, that the National League representatives on the committees were inclined to grant us the protection we wanted, but the piratical methods of Ban Johnson got In some of their deadly work.

He, with Comtskey and Killllea came to the conference with an agreement which had been drawn up and studied for weeks and waa already printed and ready to be signed. I understand that the National League men ripped this to flinders, and that as signed by two of the three sides to the question is a vastly different document from the one brought here by Johnson, but even as it is it won't do. It is framed so that Johnson can steal playersf rom the minor-leagues and cast loose the high-priced men he has saddled the American League with himself. In this system, however, he loses sight of the strength of the minor leagues and their ability to pay salaries themselves and thus make purchgasrs-'t'ome pretty high.

Adolph Rebadow, transfer tax appraiser for Erie County, today was asked the cause of the falling off In transfer tax collections under the State law, which has been the cause of criticism made by Democrats of the administration of the law. 'The falling off Is due to the few large estates passed upon by the Surrogate in late years," said he.

"The collections in any one year depend upon the number of rich men who die. If few wealthy men die the collections are small. If qiany die collections are large. They fluctuate in this county the same as in others. The criticism of the appraiser Is not fair.

He cannot go out on the street and kill rich men to increase the revenues of the State. "Lately the proportion of taxes collected to the number of estates appraised is smaller than in years gone by because the appraiser has examined more closely Into small estates, some of which paid no tax. The cost of appraising estates has been decreased since a regular appraiser and attorney have done the work. The appraiser gets 83O0O a year and the attorney 81800. The total yearly cost In Erie County is 848O0." Thomas Penney Is attorney for the transfer tax appraiser of Erie County.

The falling off In collections since 1897 is shown In the following table: Amount No. of Year. collected. Estates. 1897 8123,980.81 130 1898 87,984.07 i.
