MA TER OF MONEY!
NOT THE QUESTION
In the Dispute with Ty Cobb
But Discipline is In
yolyed in 1t,


DETROIT, Mich, April 16-Diss
cipline not money is the all important
question in the dispute between the
Detroit American League baseball
club ard its star player. Ty Cobb,
who is now under suspension because
he refused to accept the terms Of the
1918 contract. This declaration was
made by President Navin today in a
signed statement which says:
''The difference between Cobb and
the Detroit baseball club is not a
matter of money. There are funda-
mentals involved, principles Of dis
cipline recognized in all walks Of life.
1t is conceded by everybody That Cobb
is the best baseball player in the world
and Cobb is also the best paid base
ball player in the world, but this is
not the issue. Mr.. Cobb did not make
baseball Baseball made him a
player cannot be bigger than the game
which created him. To give-in to Cobb
now in his present attitude would be
to concede that he is greater than the
game himself for he has set all its
laws at defiance.
Cobb instead of reporting for
spring practice and giving the club
the benefit of his knowledge and his
playing organized transforming
team and went through the South
starring himself with daily ultimatum
to the club. If Cobb can persistently
defy the, laws of the game, what effect
will he have on the other players?
We may as well turn the club over
to him and eventually the league. If
Cobb does not like the room some
hotel clerk gives him, he quits the
club for week. If he does not like
what silly man in the grand stand
yells at him he punches his face and
is out of the game. If he does not
feel like practicing he stays away
from the park. He has grown to be-
l!eye that his greatness precndes his
being a subject to club discipline.
Il think Cobb eventually will recog-
nIze his fault. He demands $4,000
for his services and then he goes to
the other end of the country COM
planning that no representative of the
Detroit Club has been sent to talk
business with him. Cobb is an en-
ploye of the Detroit Baseball Club.
He knows where its Office is. In the
past we have put up great deal from
him. 1t has now reached the point
where there must be show down."

Against the New Income Tax
Law of the United

AUTHOR OF THE BILL
Undertakes to Show That All
Such Complaints Are Ac-
tlally Groundless.

WASHlSGToN April 16.-Repre-
sentative Hull, OF. Tennessee, author OF
the income tax law, declared today
that complaint OF life insurance COM
panies against the provisions Of the
law were groundless. One contention
of the companies is that dividends
which would be taxed under the law
declared by mutual and participating
companies are not dividends in the
commercial sense. but
Are Simply Refunds

ed with the annual premium, held In
trust and at stated periods returned
10 policy holders,
The ways and means committee con-
tends that an exhaustive Mrestigation
of insurance companies shows that the
earnings of companies from previous
investments and holdings are nearly
as large as the amounts which are an
nuaily distributed as DIVIDENDS ana
that it does not appear that a,separas
ton of

is made for the purpose of ascertain
ing the funds available for dividends.
The committee holds that policy
holder is not promised refund but
a surplus in the profits and the plea
that the dividend is refund of the
portion of the premium rather than
a distribution of the actual surplus of
the company derived from all sources
is not consistent.
Upon that basis It is held the in
suranee companies are in position
to declare dividends which will CON
form to the commercial definition of
dividends.

CAUCUS FIGHT AGAINST
FREE WOOL NOW BITTER
Ohio, Indiana and West Vir-
ginia Democrats Want
Fifteen Per Cent.
UNDERWOOD TALK
Sees President Wilson and
Then Expresses Conf
dence in the Fight.
10Y AssoclkTrD parsn

WASHINGTON, April Fifteen
per cent ad valorum duty on raw
WOOL was the slogan of the organized
opposition to the administration free
wool when the Democratic caucus re-
sumed consideration of the tariff bill
today. At an early morning confer
ence of Democrats from Ohio, Indiana
and West Virginia and many of the
western states it was determined to
stand by their
Decision to Fight
for a fifteen per cent duty, which they
claim was the original Judgment of
the ways and means committee before
consultation with President Wilson.
Representative Ashbrook, of Ohio,
was selected TO lead the fight on the
caucus floor. Though the opposition
claims TO have the sympathy and sup
port of fifty Democratic members the
administration leaders insist that they
cannot muster that many votes on an
amendment to change the bin as pre-
scented to the caucus.
Underwood Confident.
Chairman Underwood after an early
conference with President Wilson to-
day expressed confidence that the
tarlff bill would be approved by the
caucus without important changes
within the next three of four days. Tfe
said the Democrats would permit the
minority to be fully heard.
There will be amendments from
our Republican friends he said, "but
the bill will pass the House as it is
approved by the caucus and with only
few minor changes. You can not
write tariff bill with 1900 items
without forgetting to cross e and
to dot an & here and there. Unequal
tiles viii creep in and they will have
TO be adjusted"
Clark Talks.
When the caucus resumed consid-
Grafton of the bill, several attempts to
alter the proposed reductions Of
duties on collars and cuffs were de-
feated.
4 wish there were some way of get
ting at steam laundries through the
tariff BILL said Speaker Clark. They
can ruin perfectly good collar with
the greatest ease. There may be some
combination between them and the
collar manufacturer
