Hermann Reads the Letter.

The above circular letter was sent to
at least one newspaper in practically
every city in the country. A copy fell
That Cincinnati German figuratively
rose and bumped the ceiling. He be-
gan a spirited correspondence with
Ban Johnson asking the American
league president to cooperate in eff
forts to drive Fogel out of the exposing
business.
Mr.. Johnson replied that 1t appeared
to be up to the National league pri-
marily, and not matter upon which
the national commission could act un-
less Fogel happened to include the
American league in his attacks. 1t is
Johnson's impression that FOgel will
confine his expose" to National league
affairs Johnson apparently is eager to
take a crack at Fogel, and will do so
with considerable enthusiasm if Fo-
gel will open the door by criticising
Johnson's league.
johnson Discusses the Case.
Il don't think any reputable news
paper would care to publish stories
written by Horace Fogel," said Pres
ident Johnson. He not only has been
kicked out of the National league. but
has been thoroughly discredited so far
as baseball is concerned.
THE man who offers these Stories
for sale says Fogel is going to show
how the newspapers and public are held
up and defrauded by the baseball or

craftsmanship In its makeup, be-
ing Interested only to the extent of
dollars and cents and regarding il
solely as a commercial proposition.
Mr.. Fogel will show the baseball
players have been reduced to a con-
dition of serfdom by being rated as
club assets and traded and sold as hui
man chattels by these sporting COM
mercialists; how the public is made
the prey of and how the newspapers
are being worked for columns upon
columns of free advertising, which all
the mercantile advertisers in this
country could not buy for love nor
money. He will also show how play
ers have only In recent years been
approached to throw games; how this
machine is manipulated" from the
inside and umptres lntinnidated in the
interest of one particular club to win
and for what purpose, and make other
startling exposures of transactions
which belong to the shady class.

character Told by the Chin.

The shape of the chin is of consid-
cradle Importance in reading charac-
ter. A chin smooth and round de-
notes a childlike disposition and a
yielding will. The oval chin is an
indication of an artistic, sensitive ma
ture, with some talent along those
lines, while the angular chin denotes
the scientific, practical nature. The
protruding chin always means COM
bat1veness, determination and power,
and the receding chin denotes the
weak will, and the straight chin also
denotes weakness.

ASKS GOVERNMENT
WIRE OWNERSHIP
Representative Lewis Urges Bill
Be Introduced.
CABINET MEMBERS DIFFER
Attorney General Strongly Opposes ".
S. Control, But Feels 1t Is Likely
to Come Unless Competition
Is Restored.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Right on the
heels of the American Telephone and
Telegraph company voluntary offer to
divorce itself from control of the
Western Union, a direct move in the
proposed plan for the government to
own and operate the wire lines was
made in the house.
A resolution directing the post office
committee of the house to consider
and report a bill for the purpose of
vesting in the United States monop-
oily of the function for communication
for hire by electricity, with certain eX-
ceptions,' was introduced by Repre-
sentative Lewis of Maryland. This is
the forerunner of the bill to be offered
by Chairman Moon of the postoffice
committee providing for government
ownership and operation of telephones
and telegraphs.
Constitution Vests Rights in U. S.
The resolution sets forth that the
conveyance of communications is a
postal function and has been vested
by the Constitution in the government
of the United States with the object
of providing the people with the cheap
est and most extensive service feas-
ible. 1t declares that postal rates on
letters in the United States are among
the lowest in the world, Will he
rates for messages by wire tt gh
private agencies are among the nigh
est.
1t asserts the duty of the govern
ment and the common practice of ma
tons to be the 'postalization of tele-
graph and telephone services
The resolution prescribes that the
bill to be reported from the house
committee shall provide for the APP
preparation directly by statute of the
telephones except farmers lines on
January 1, 1918. They are to be taken
in charge by the postmaster general,
the properties to be appraised by the
interstate commerce commission.
Will Make Annual Payments.
Four per cent. per annum upon their
value from January 1, 1915, is to be
paid quarterly to the owners until
payment of the award of valuation
Payment of the final award is to be
made from the federal treasury, which
shall issue three per cent bonds to the
necessary amount.
The licensing of existing telegraph
and radio companies to continue their
business and of railway telegraph cor
railway purposes is provided for. The
postmaster general is to license states,
counties, cities, corporations and indi-
viduals to make extensions of tele-
phone lines subject to the right of
acquisition by the postoffice depart
ment.
The merit system is to be applied to
all employees
In some quarters the buzz of spec
ulative discussion was regarded as an
indication of the fight that some of the
conservative members of the cabinet
will make against government owner
ship of public utilities. 1t is known
that Attorney General McReynolds is
strongly opposed to government own
ership, but feels it is likely to come
unless there can be a restoration of
free competition in public service

SEEKS S26,OOO,O0O
FROM RAILROADS
Thirteen Carriers Sued by State
of Missouri.
100000 ASKED FROM M. P.
Overcharges Before Rate Laws Vail
dation Reach That Sum According
to Attorney General Barker
May Go to Supreme Court.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 22.-The
state of Missouri will demand SIG, 000,-
900 from 13 railroads, whose injunc-
ton against the operation Of the law
limiting rates on passenger traffic to
two cents a mile, and the law fixing
maximum freight rates, were ordered
dismissed without prejudice" by the
United States Supreme court.
Papers in suits for $6,000000, ask
ing 100000 each from the Missouri
Pacific, the Wabash and the Santa Fe,
were sent by Attorney General Bark
er to the appropriate state courts.
Federal Judge Mcpherson read
from the bench an order in conform
ity with the Supreme court decree,
which ordered the dismissal of an in
junction granted in favor of 13 roads
against the operation of the two laws.
Suspends Earlier Order.
Late in the day the judge suspended
the entry of his decree until January
10. The attorney for the railroads an
nounced that he would advise his eli
ents to appeal to the United States
mus to compel the judge to retain
jurisdiction over the suits, which
should be fled to cover claims Of
overcharge by the railroads, covering
the differences between the rates
charged and the rates under the laws
which were upheld and dating from
the issuance of the injunction.
j i -.
hearing tried to have Judge McPher-
son retain jurisdiction over the suits
and asked him to limit the liability
of each road to the $4,000 bond
which it had filed to indemnify per-
sons affected, if the injunction suit
were lost. The judge refused. Had
he agreed it would have made the
maximum liability of the 13 roads
100000
Sues for 100000.
Between Judge McPherson's actions
in the morning and his action late in
the day, Attorney General Barker of
this state announced from Jefferson
City the filing of suit for 100000
against the Missouri Pacific After
Judge McPherson's later action, Mr.
Barker announced that he would file
similar suits against the other II
roads That would make a total of
$26,0O0,000 sought by the state of Mis-
souri,.
Frank Hagerman, attorney for the
roads, declared that the later order
of Judge Mcpherson acted as a stay
against the filing of further suits by
the state. The reply of the attorney
general from Jefferson City was the
sending by mail of the papers in two
other 100000 suits to be filed in ap-
propriate state courts.
Papers in suit for $4,000, 900
against the Wabash railroad were sent
to La Plata. Papers in a similar suit
against the Atchison, Topeka e Santa
Fe we're sent to Kirksville. This will
make it possible for the suits to be
filed actually today. The suit against
the Missouri Pacific will be filed at
Macon, where the papers have been
sent
The roads to be sued for $4,000
600 each include the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy, the Missouri, Kansas
e Texas and the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific.
