President in Fact
AS Well as in Name

New York. Dec. n-John x. Tener.
governor of Pennsylvania and newly in
stalled president of the National League
of Professional Baseball Clubs, ridiculed
the idea that the game was controlled
by a trust in a brief statement issued,
today, incident to a business meeting of
the league.
There is no such thing as a baseball!
trust" he said. ORGANIZED baseball is
a natural outgrowth OF an endeavor to
build up the business and put the game
on the highest plane. There has been
no desire to crush competition"
The governor repeated that he was go
ing to be president in fact as well as
name. He had insisted on this, he said,
before he assumed office. During the
next year." he said, Il shall give my
attention only to the most important
matters affecting the league as whole"
Routine affairs only, faced the club
owners at today's session of the league.
The demands of the Players Fraternity,
it was announced, would not be consid-
cred, having been referred instead TO
President Tener. who in turn will place
them before the National Commission at
a meeting to be held, Jan. 5, in Cincin-
natl. The governor said. however, that
he was in favor of retaining the reserve
clause In contracts to which the players
object.

gun in the Senate, tonight, Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska lead in the
rency oratory which has occupied the
Senate day and night, for nearly two
weeks, Senator Hitchcock began the
presentation of his amendments to the
bill, declaring in dramatic speech
that he declined to consider the meas
ure completed by the Democratic eau
Gus as unalterable.
Senator Hitchcock quoted from Pres.
Wilson'S book, THE New Freedom"
to show that the President was on rec
ord against caucus and committee leg
islation, and was in favor of the con-
sideration of reform measures In the
full light of publicity"
Il have no purpose to delay the
consideration of this BILL" said Sena-
tor Hitchcock. But / deplore the
tendency of senators on both sides of
this chamber to regard this bill as
foreclosed to amendment by the action
of the Democratic caucus. The Pres
ident has proclaimed time and again
that discussion in public was above all
things the most important considera-
ton in legislation.
Senator Gallinger. Republican lead
err, suggested that the President had
approved of the caucus on the tariff
bill and had also approved the caucus
on the currency bill
Il doubt that" said Senator Hitch
cock, emphatically. Il shall not be-
lieve until l hear the votes cast here
that men who have assured me that
they would not be bound against their
convictions by any caucus will stultify
themselves and come in here to vote
against the things in which they be-
lieve."

Both of the meetings were at

We Is, the veteran leader, was the
principal speaker at the Brooklyn

Other speakers were States At
torney Nicholas H. Green, Ridgely
P. Melvin, counselor to the County
Commissioners, and Benjamin Wat
kins, Jr., candidate for the State
Senatorial nomination. DR.. Wells,
among other things said:
1.-The organization was proud of
its record and that its members were
confident of the support of the peo-
pie at the primaries. Though gre at
improvements have been carried out
in the county and many reforms in
troduced, the progressive element
was engaged in campaign of SANDER
and villifcation.

was conceded by both Republicans
and Democrats to be absolutely nec-

ed progre ssives are now going around
saying that the taxpayers money
had been squandered when the old
building could have been restored at
less than half the cost, which they
know to be untrue.
Over at Harman's the voters were
stirred by addresses delivered by
Messrs. John II. Gels, candidate for

EQUALIZATION OF TAXES.
.Siaie Commission to Support Bill al
Coming Session Of Legislature.

The State Tax Commission, ap-
pointed by Governor Goldsborough,
has agre ed to support a bill to be
presented to the next Legislature, by
which equalization of taxation
throughout the State will be made
possible.
The members of the commission are !;
Henry F. Baker, Baltimore county,
chairman; j. Barry Mahool, Balti-
more city; E. Stanley Gary, Balti-
more city; j. H. Gambrill, Jr., Fred
erick county; William M. Cooper,

Tue recomme ndation of the COM
mission, which will be embodied in a
forthcoming report, will be the crea-
tion of Central Board of Control
and Review for the State, through
whose instrumentality taxes will be
equalized. One of the Objectionable
points in the present system the COM
mission has found, is double assess.
ment of property in many municipal.
tiles. The assessment is low tor
State taxation and high for municipal
taxation.
The differences be tween these two
rates are appalling. 1t is obvious
that il the assessment for state taxes
was as high as for municipal taxes,
the state would derive greater reve.
nue.. The equalization of these as.
sessments and of the consequent tax.
alton is one of sthe main object:
