NOW
POSSIBLE UNDER
new LAW
Bill Passed Both Houses and
Signed In One Day
WILL AVERT R. R. STRIKE
Board VIII Be Named at Once and
Railroad Case VIII Be
Heard.

Washington, July 16.-New federal
machinery for adjustment of rail
road wage disputes was authorized
yesterday, when the House and Sem
ate at Washington passed and the
president signed the Newlands-Clay-
ton bill just as 1t was agreed upon
Monday at the White House confer
ence between President Wilson, con-
gressional leaders and representa-
tives of the big eastern railways
and their employees. The new law
went through both houses of Con-
gress without an obstacle being put
in its way. The commissioners will
be selected as soon as possible con-
sistent with the Importance of the
appointments.
This law creates the board of
mediation and Cancellation headed by
a commissioner to which the eastern
railways and employees brotherhoods
have declared their willingness to
submit the wage dispute on account
of which $4,000 conductors and train
men have voted to strike. The union
officers agreed TO an armistice until
this afternoon pending action by Con
grsss, and officials at Washington OK
pect now to make ready TO lay their
case before the federal mediators as
soon as President Wilson makes the
appointments.
Seth Low, president of the nation
al civic federation, who was instru-
mental in bringing the railroads and
their employees together in the pres
ent dispute, is prominently mention
ed for the position of commissioner
of mediation and Cancellation. AS
the other two members of the board
are to be government officials, 1t was
regarded as probable that Judge Mar
tin w. Knapp OF the commerce court
net officers, possibly as assistant at
torney-general, would be considered.
A new phase of the controversy de
veloped yesterday through announce
meDt by the railroads that they will
ask that the board which considers
the demands of the employees take
up also the grievances of the roads
against the men, This angle of the
situation overshadows for the NOM
ent, at any rate, even the determined
stand taken by the Erie system that
1t will not, in any event, submit its
cause to arbitration. Chairman Ellis
ha Lee of the conference committee
of managers last night stated that
the railroads would demand arbitra-
ton which would take into consider
alton all question of differences be-
tween the employer and the employ
ed.
Mr.. Lee alluded to the wording of
the letter in which the conference
committee of managers agreed to ar
bitrate under the Newlands legisla-
ton. The roads were willing to sub
NIT to arbitration by board as pro-
vided in the Newlands bill, the let
ter read, "all questions of rates of
pay and working conditions" of their
conductors and trainmen. THE Ian
guage of our letter is very clear"
said Mr. Lee last night I'VE meant
and we mean just what IL says. We
feel that it is right to ask for arbi-
tration which takes into considerat-
ion the grievances Of the railroads
as well as the grievances of the en-
ployes."

STAHL DEPOSED AS
CHIEF OF BOSTON
AMERICANS
Carriaan Made New Manager
of Red S0x
sTALH TO QUIT BASEBALL
VIII Go Back to Banking But VII,
Retain His Stock In the Boston
Team.

Chicago, July 16.-"Jake" Garland
Stahl was ousted as manager OF the
Boston Americans yesterday by
James McAleer, president Of the
club. Though differences amounting
to serious misunderstanding
with McAleer were rumored causes
of Stahl's release, both manager and
president insisted that the demand
of stockholders for a playing man
ageF' was the motive. Stahl's lead
ership technically included yester-
days game. Catcher William Car
rigan assumed charge Of the team.
Stahls release was unconditional
and he will give up baseball as a
business but he will retain his Red
Sox stock. He will devote his time
in the future to his banking business
in Chicago. Stahl has played few
games this season: an injured foot
having kept him out of the field He
managed the team from the bench.
Stahl was grieved apparently at Nc
Aleer's decision to release him and
declared he had done his best to sus-
tain the teams reputation as worlds
champions. To bad luck, including
his own inability to take part in more
games Stahl attributed the compare
lively poor showing of the team this
year In connection with the news
of Stahl's release, stories of internal
trouble among the Red Sox were re-
told yesterday. fractional difference
na OF hn IN
last year, were among the causes
limited at in discussion of the mana
gers release.
Carrigan, the new manager, was
among the leaders of the faction
which, rumor says, was against Stahl
Hints of differences reached Chicago
with the arrival of the Boston team
a few days ago, but were denied by
McAleer and the manager. Stahl
WIS induced by McAleer to rejoin the
Boston team and assume the manage
ment at the beginning of the 1912
season, soon after McAleer became
president. Under StahPs leadership,
aided materially by his own prowess
on the field, the team captured the
highest honors of the national game
from the New York Nationals last
fall.
Garland j. Stahl first entered ma
jor league baseball in 1903. when he
came to Boston from the University
of Michigan. Later he went to Wash
ington, where he was manager for q
time, then to New York, and was trad
ed to Boston again when, after play

John p. Fitzgerald Coming Because
of illness
Rev. A. J. Barron has just receiv.
ed the two following letters relative
to his nephew, John. p. Fitzgerald:
zampoanga, p. /.
June 3rd, 1913.
Rev. Andrew j. Barron.
Bennington, Vermont.
Dear Sir,
1t greatly pains me to advise you
that your nephew, Mr.. John p. Fit
gerald. is leaving here on the fifth of
this month, for New York, in a very
dangerous state of health.
His ailment has been pronounced
aneurism of the arch of the aorta, by
Colonel Eide, of the Medical Corps of
the Army. There has been no Motif
cation of the seriousness of his con-
dition given Mr.. fitzgerald on ac-
count OF its necessarily depressing
effect, and he is leaving here hop
ing that some operation may save
his life. His pain is very intense and
1t has been necessary for some time
to reduce ii by the administration OF
opiates.
Mr.. Fitzgerald's arrival in New
York will probably be on or about
July 18th, and strongly recommend
that some member of his family be
in New York at the time to meet
him.
He leaves here with the most
heartfelt wishes on the part of every
member of the American colony that
the New York surgeons may be
able TO prolong his life.
Yours very sincerely,

London, July 15.-Stockings at
$4,000 pair are mercifully not
likely to become universally popular
and 1t is improbable that the fashion
which the ever fascinating Miss
Anna Held set at the London Opera
House last night will find many de-
voices.
The explanation of the great value
attached to that portion of Miss
Held's attire is that they are open

openwork usually is, diamonds have
