FAIR TREATMENT

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Jan. 1.-THE
National Association of Minor Leagues
will be given liberal treatment in the
new national agreement when it is
formulated" said H. J. Killilea last
night, when asked how the two major
organizations in control of baseball
would handle the smaller leagues, as a
result of the peace compact entered
into at Cincinnati last Saturday.
president Powers, of the National as
ISOLATION, was invited to attend the
conference, and he will have a voice in
the preparation of the playing rules
as we'll as those which will apply to
the government of all of the leagues
"As the president Of the former
Western league, which became the
American league, Ban Johnson is fully
conversant with the Objectionable fea-
lures of the old agreement, and the
American league can be relied upon
to deal fairly with the Minors, which
are fully organized and able to take
care Of their own affairs"
No Hitch Expected.
Asked if he thought there would be
any hitch in the ratification of the
Cincinnati agreement between the
American and National leagues, the
Boston magnate said: ''The National
league men We're too willing to end the
now. In fact, there was not a single
clash during the session until we
struck the subject of the players who
had signed two contracts. There were
fourteen of the 'rubberlegs' to deal
with, and we asked to have six Of
them returned to the American league
clubs, comprising Delehanty, Dono-
hue, Conroy, Elberfeld, Davis and
Crawford. This request was complied
with, and we helped the Detroit club
out by giving it Elberfeld, Crawford
and Donohue."
Asked if he did not think Pittsburg
a better ball town than Detroit, Mr..
Killflea replied: ct is a great baseball
city, but Detroit is better with only one
team than Pittsburg is with two. Drey-
fuss is bound to have a good team at
any stage Of the game, because he is
out hustling for young players all of
the time. There were not enough
great players to compete against the
National league team established
there, and 1 voted against the PROPOSE
ton to transfer the Detroit club there

VENEZUELA GOVERNMENT
ORDERS A FORCED LOAN
But Money Is So Scarce That 1t Can
Hardly Be Subscribed.

WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Jan. 14.-The
Venezuelan government has ordered a
forced loan of $92, 400. being one-quarter
of the total loan contemplated. The loan
is obligatory on all Venezuelan mer-
chants, traders and bankers. Foreigners
are exempt but are coUrteouSly asked to
Contribute. The government proposes to
repay this loan, when the country is at
peace, by permitting the subscribers to it
to retain 10 per cent of the imports levied
at the La Guaira custom house upon
goods they import until they shall be re-
imburSed.
Owing to the scarcity of money in Ven
eZuela it is not believed here that this
loan can be subscribed.
ROME, jan 14.-It is officially denied
here that President Castro, of Venezuela,
has informed the powers that he is dis
posed to pay the expenses of maintain
ing the blockading squadron in Vene-
zuelan waters on condition that the
blockade be raised Immediately, and it
is also absolutely denied that Italy would
be inclined to accept this proposal even
if it were made. 1t was said that while
Italy is willing. to do everything to reach
a solution of the Venezuelan difficulty,
she considers Great Britain and Germany
having superior claims for the satisfac-
ton of insults-to be entitled to take the
lead in all measures.

PEACE PLANS MAY
NOT GO THROUGH
GrOWl Of Dissatisfied Mag
mates Becoming a
Roar.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. a.
John L Rogers, treasurer of the Phila-
delphia National league baseball club
in an interview today, denounced Pres
ident Johnson, of the American league,
as a man who fails to keep his word,
and denied that the peace committee
of the National league, which met with
similar committee from the Ameri-
can league at Cincinnati, had power to
act. The committee, Mr.. Rogers said
was originally instructed to meet the
% representatives Of the American league
with the idea of ascertaining upon
what terms the two leagues could come
to an amicabIe agreement and end the
so-called baseball war.
Asked whether or not he had been
consulted on the matter of peace
terms, Mr.. Rogers admitted having re-
ceived a communication from Chair
man Hermann, asking the attitude of
the Philadelphia club officials on five
points likely to be taken up at the con-
ference, one of them being the disposal
of the players. According to Mr..
Rogers, a most emphatic refusal was
given to even consider the last-named
proposition.
"Outnumbered 999 to l." insisted Mr..
Rogers, I'VE would never agree to give
up that which rightfully belongs to
us. If pushed, we would naturally take
the matter to court
L am at loss to ascertain what
happened, as I know nothing beyond
what was in the newspapers" said
Mr.. Rogers. He acknowledged that he
had received a typewriter report from
Cincinnati which, however, he argued,
was identical as to wording with that
given to the newspapers and contained
no explanation of the disregarding of
the wishes of the Philadelphia club.
II
''What do you make Of Mr. Herr
mann's threat to jump to the Ameri-
can league in the event of a split on
the matter Of the peace committees
act?' Mr.. Rogers was asked.
Il do not believe he made any such
statement Mr.. Hermann, to my mind,
is not that kind of man. Besides
have we not some interests in COM
mon? The National league clubs are
bound together by agreement. Such
ties are not so easily broken"
What action will you take at the
National league meeting in Cincinnati
on Monday" he was asked.
None whatever" was the reply, "as
L cannot be there. The club, however,
Will be represented. AS to what stand
we will take remains to be seen. I
never cross bridges until I come to
them. The whole aspect of things may
De CHdngeu Wnen near from Mr..
Dreyfuss. There may be certain
clauses, stipulations or agreements not
included in the general report, which
viii place an entirely different light on
the subject"
Barney Dreyfuss, of Pittsburg, called
on Mr.. Rogers today, but remained
only short time. He will meet Mr..
Rogers again tomorrow. Concerning
Mr.. Dreyfuss' visit, Mr.. Rogers said:
/ have no knowledge whatever of
any deal by which the visit of Mr.
Dreyfuss can be connected with the
sale of the Philadelphia club, although,
as l have SO often said, 1 would be
heartily glad to get out of the bust
ness"

HERMANN WILL NOT
QUIT THE GAME
Cincinnati Magnate Denies Story That
He Will Get Out.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Jan. 14.-Presf-
dent Hermann, of the Cincinnati club,
emphatically denied that he would get
out of baseball if the peace compact
was not ratified next Monday. He said:
never made such a statement and
have no intention of doing such a
thing"
The story that Mr. Hermann will do
the baby act' and refuse to play I'M
less he IS to have his own way Of
thinking is absurd, and could not come
from anyone who is at all familiar with
the mans characteristics. He will stick
to the National league, even if it should
be divided against itself, for he is the
last man to retire under fire.
Efforts to make it appear the peace
compact has little or no chance to be
ratified is just as absurd. Indications
are that it will receive a majority. if
not the unanimous vote of the National
league club owners.

Red skin Has Way of Telling
Whether a White Man VIII
Fight or Nct.t Is Ado is3

An Oklahoma man once told an
Indian that aidesperat tie white ma was
after his scalp He smiled and shook
his head, relates the Kansas City
journal. A few days later we were
talking to the white man, when the
Indian came up to join the group.
He had spotted the stranger and
knew him by sight. Without saying
a word to hinf he walked up within
arms reach and struck the white
man in the face with a rough, heavy
glove. He paused for a few seconds
and hit him again. "Ugh!" he ex-
claimed as he wheeled around and
walked away. The white man looked
at the Indian in amazement, but
made no show of resentment. Later
in the day, when we asked the Indian
why he didn't follow up the insult
with blows, he told US the white man
was coward. In explaining how he
knew it he said the mans law drop
ped" when he struck him in the face
the second time with the glove, and
that this, with the Indian, was an un-
failing sign of ccwardice.
