principal avenue for such business.
However thnt method is cumbersome.

the colonial Office and then back to

PULLMAN GRANTED
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
President Of National Base Ball League
Given a Chance to Re-

C6cago, Feb. 19.-Factionsl strife
in the National league of baseball
clubs was ended at the closing session
OF the magnates' meeting yesterday
when President Harry @. PulliRm was
granted an indefinite leave of absence
at his own request 30 that he may re-
cover from the nervous strain to which
he has been subjected for some time
past. In the meantime his post as
chief executive OF the league will be
filed BY John A. HeydleF, at present
secretary and treasurer of the organi-
zation.
The disagreements between Presi-
dent Pulliam and certain National
league club owners caused most of the
discussion during the closing hours Of
the conference, and while the president
liveu up to his announced intention of
remaining away from the meeting be-
cause he was weary of conflict the
leagues representatives spoke of him
as an efficient head and voted unani-
mously to grant him an indefinite leave
OF absence. To leave nothing lacking in
the way Of good feeling as marking the
last of the meeting President Charles
Murphy of the Chicago National league
club, apologized in open meeting to
President Ben johnson of the American
league, who was at the session upon an
invitation to tell what he knew Of the
alleged attempt at bribery of Umpires
KLEIN and Johnston during the clos
ing series in New York between the
Chicago Nationals and New York Ma
tionals.
The entire bribery problem proved
to be difficult TO deal with that it was
decided that the statements Of the um-
pires and all evidence in the hands of
the special committee appointed to in
vestigate the affair be turned over to
the committee to be acted upon as
that body may determine.
Chairman Herman Of tho committee
may call d meeting Of the baseball au-
thorities tomorrow to start getting to
the bottom of the scandal, but after
the close of the league meeting he ex-
pressed himself as undecided when the
matter would be called up for consider
alton. The information presented by
Ben johnson to the National league
nagnates was kept a secret for the
time being, the matter being considered
of such vital Importance TO the nation
al game that it was deemed desirable
to withhold rumors and allegations
until the national commission is ready
to report.

OCEAN RECORDS GO
BEFORE MAURITANIA
The Great Sea Queen Made The Trip
From Ireland in Four Days, Sew
enteen Hours and Six
Minutes.

New York. Feb. i9.-The Turbine
flyer Mametania of the Cunard line
came abaam of the Ambrose channel
liehtship at 1Oia5 o'clock last night,
thus completing voyage in which
several new ocean records were estag'
lished. The steamer not only broke her
own record over the long winter course
OF $500 miles by two hours and 35
minutes, but she also hauled down the
figures held by her sister ship, the Lusi
tania, and has set the new record of
four days and II hours and so minutes,
which is one hour and 46 minutes bet
ter than the Lusitania's best time over
the course. Another achievement Of the
voyage was days run Of 671 knots
which breaks all records for "a
hours run
The one disappointment OF the voy-
ago was the failure OF the ship 10 ar
rive in time to CONS up 10 her dock
last night, the fifth day of her voyage
from Queenstown. Wireless reports OF
the marvellous speed the mammoth
steamship was making on the trip had
been received here and il was hoped
she would dock last night thereby
establishing n bonatlde five day trip for
her passengers. As il was, however
beyond establishing record, nothing
was gained as the ship anchored out
side the bar last night and had 10 wait
Tor daylight before attempting TO navi.
gate the channels leading her TO her
pier.
The Mauretania left Liverpool on
Saturday night and passed Daunt's
Rock at s,45 O'Clock Sunday morning.
Between noon Sunday and noon Mon
day she made the second days run of
671 knots. The following day she log
ged 647 knots and the third day reeled
off Cos knots.
The Cunard officials make the time
of the trip 4 days II hours and six
minutes, or "a hours and 80 minutes
better than the Lusitania's time over
the long course. The Mauretania's
average hourly speed is given at 1885
miles.
