WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Daniel J.

than score of prominent leaders ask

The conference will consider the mis-
leading labor information that causes
much of the immigration; the heads of
all important labor organizations will
participate.
Among those invited besides Samuel

ARRIVE AT MUSKOGEE TO
GO BEFORE GRAND JURORS

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Jan. 31-Wit-
nesses from Nashville, Tenn, who are
called to testify before the federal
grand jury in the alleged town lot
fraud investigation, began arriving in
Muskogee today.
Attorney S. r. Rush and District At
torney Gregg held a conference tonight
with all the witnesses now here.
The conspiracy to defraud allegations
it is said, will be based upon three
propositions: First, cOnnivance of gov
ernment representatives when the lots
were scheduled to dummies; second
knowledge of dummies of the use be-
ing made of their names; third, con-
spiracy limited to the few who sched-
uled names of dummies and subse-
quently tried to have all the lots quit
claimed for their benefit.

Last year Howard Jones, once
famous as Yale end, and now
known from coast to coast as the
man who turned out one of the
greatest offensive and defensive
machines that ever represented
Old Eli, coached the Syracuse uni
versity eleven. He met with sue
cess while coaching the orange,
and one of his men, Bill Hoar, was
picked by Walter Camp for the
mythical All American eleven. The
Syracuse eleven stood high in in
tercollegiate circles.
At the close of the season of
1908 Yale wanted Howard Jones,
and, true to his alma mater, he
surrendered a lucrative position
and went to New Haven gratis. In
exchange Yale offered Tad Jones,
who left the squad of Eli coaches
and accepted Towards job and
Towards salary, to coach SYRIA
cuSe.
Every follower of football
knows the result. The Syracuse
team, of which greatness was ex-
pected, failed to deliver Michigan,
defeated in 90S by a score of % to
4, sWamped Syracuse 43 to 0. The
team has lost every big game and
will finish with little credit.
The eleven has shown lack of
foot ball knowledge, and only the
kicking ability of Darby, one of the
veterans, has saved the team from
humiliation in the less important
games.
There is dissatisfaction in the
squad. Jones has not instilled any
great amount of spirit in the men,
nor has he in any game placed a
sure or accurate machine in the
field.
Syracuse is in the dust, and the
only hope of the students is that
next year another coach will pro-
duce greater things. 1t is practic-
ally certain that Tad Jones will not
be retained.

DENVER GAME
ON SATURDAY

There is going to be a game
and a great one in Spokane next
Saturday afternoon" stated Gradu.
ate Manager John Jones of the
Washington State College football
team today. Manager Jones Q9nd
Bob Phillips arrived in the city
from Pullman last night to make
the arrangements for the w. s. c..
Denver University football game
at Recreation park December 4.
You may say for me that there
will be a game, although there wa3
for a time some doubt as to this"
said Mr.. Jones to The Press today.
Denver will be brought to Spo.
kane by the state college, no mat
ter what the expense.
you may say for Coach KEN.
holz that the team will be in the
grandest shape it has been this
year and that it will be prepared
to play game that will make Dem
yer extend itself to the limit to
win. The game will be no walk
away for either team. AS far as l
can see, the two teams, represent
ing as they do the class of their
respective sections, are very even
ly match, and look for the hard
est football battle of the year. At
any rate, am prepared to say that
Spokane will see a football game>
that will be a fight from start to
finish, a game that will give them
chance to see two finished teams
in action and get a glimpse of the
great game as it Is being portroy-
ed by the best college elevens Of
the country.
II have been expecting tele-
gram from Denver all day making
final arrangements for the contest,
but 1t has not yet appeared on the
scene. However, 1t rests with us
and Is a question of finances and
we are prepared to pay Denver's
expenses and bring them all this
distance for this one game, feeling
that the people of Spokane and the
surrounding country will support
us, knowing that they will see al
game of football that will be real
battle"

FOUR TEAMS in
HANDBALL FIGHT

With four teams credited with
four or more victories and no de-
feats to mar their records, the S.
A. A. C. handball tournament is
becoming one of the most exciting
ever held in the city. With no
crucial games during the week, the
lineup will probably remain the
same until next Sunday, when one
of the four leaders will tumble. The
following week will finish another
duet by the process of elimination,
and then a battle royal for first
place will signalize the last few
weeks of the series.
Yesterday Powell and Cohn de-
feated Devorak and Meyer, 21-14,
21-11. Next Sunday Slate and Phil
lips will battle against Powell and
COhn.
The four leading teams are Pow
ell and Cohn, Slater and Phillips,
Bigelow and Edge, and Parsons
and Single.

LEAGUE Meeting
TO DECIDE BIG
QUESTION

Next Saturday afternoon Presi-
dent Coin and Manager Bob Brown
of the Indians will meet t4l North
western league officials In Seattle
and the momentous question Of or
ganized or outlaw base ball will be
discussed and probably decided.
Coast league officials and news
papers seem confident that the
Northwesterners have decided to
yield to the Coasters with the best
possible grace and content them
selves with what is offered them.
They are laboring under the misap-
prehension that silence means con-
sent, but they are likely to have q
rude awakening.
There are bunch of fighters in
the Northwestern league who are
more than willing to take their
chances on an outlaw club in Port
land If club can be placed there
no other way. :.

RETAIN PORTLAND FOR A PROMISE
OF PERPETUAL CLASS B BALL

I Dugdale's statements anent the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. controversy,
coming from the Seattle magnate
after sojourn of many days in the
California strongholds, are particu-
larly interesting to Northwestern
ers, for Dug has evidently had long
talks with the Coasters regarding
conditions on the coast, and knows
just about what the Coasters ask
of the Northwestern.
Above all things, the Coasters
wish to hold the position as the
base ball moguls Of the coast. 1t
seems reasonable to suppose that if
they can be assured Of a perpetual
class B league in the northwest,
they will consent to a Northwest
ern club in Portland. The Coasters
claim that they play much the bet
ter brand of ball. In that event,
they have nothing to fear from
competition in Beavertown.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1909-11-29

cation, am willing to agree"
The Coasters are after one of
two things-an eight club Greater
Pacific Coast league or a perpetual
class B Northwestern league.
Dugdale thinks that before the
Coasters will see the Northwest
erners go outlaw, or even go to an
other city in the northwest which
may render it possible for class A
league within a few years, Portland
will be conceded to the Northwest
ern, but-they must promise not to
ask for a class A classification. AS
the legitimate owner of Portland,
the NOrthwesterners only holding
the city under sufferance, the
Coasters can bring up the with
drawal matter whenever the in.

class A talk to agitate the north

sent to a class B club in Portland
next season.
This much is gathered from the
remarks of President d. e. Dugdale
at San Francisco yesterday. Dug
seemed much pleased with the stu
alton, according to the San Fran
cisco scribe (although the San
Franciscan's Interpretation of the

fected by local color and among
other statements, the Seattle man
