WAGNER HAD 4 SCHEME
He Would Sell the Senators and
Bolt the Big League.
The WnsbinEtOnian Was Ready to
Back New Association Club in
Philadelphia Rogers Made Him
Withdraw Forcinc Down the
Price OF His Baseball Franchise

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-When the National
League baseball men get together next
week indications point to lively time for
at least one OF them. The statement made
last Monday by a prominent League club
owner that Wagner of the Washington
club. had made arrangements to back a
new American Association club at Phila-
delphia, after he had disposed OF his Wash
ington franchise as part OF the circuit re-
duction plan, has stirred up hornets nest.
From further information given today
the magnates have decided to investigate
these charges against Wagner and several
of the club owners declare that they have
sufficient evidence in hand TO make things
warm. According to these latest state
ments a League agent carried TO John ].
Rogers the information that Wagner was
the real hacker of the proposed Philadel-
phia Association club, and that he would
be represented by other persons unknown
to baseball.
Rogers hunted up Wagner and warned
him that IL he associated himself in any
way with the rival organization he would
not receive one dollar for his Washington
franchise. Accordingly Frank Elliott who
is regarded as Wagners counsel, and who
had promised Association men that he
would provide funds for the Philadelphia
end. withdrew entirely from the scheme,
which was taken TO mean that Rogers had
carried tie day with Wagner.
Since Monday an agent OF the circuit
committee has been looking more care
fully into the matter, with the result that

A Substitute Measure offered BY Rep
rescntative Barhan

Representative Barham of California yes
terday introduced combination bill IS a
substitute for the Pacific Cable bills now
before the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce. The, committee
is considering two bills. one providing for

ship.
Mr.. Barham's bill provides for a cable to
be constructed by private Corporation

year in return for the free transmission
of all Government messages. Should no

subsidy offered, the bill provides that the
Government is to construct the cable at
a cost not TO exceed 81, 600.
Opinion in the committee is divided be-
tween Government and private ownership.
with additional opposition to fixing the

is excessive. A vote will be taken in the
committee on Tuesday next to decide which
bill shall be reported. and it is feared IL
the committee is divided on the bill re-
ported that no cable legislation will be
enacted this session.
