of professional baseball as operated
under the National Agreement. This
measure however, died in the commit
tee TO which it was referred. AS there
hac been no agitation on this matter
recently, / assume that these who were
behind it have concluded not to make
further efforts in that direction.
The attitude of the commission rel
ative to this investigation was prompt
ly and clearly defined. A thorough and
IMPARTIAL inquiry by Congress or the
Federal or state courts Will be wei
coined by all connected with the game,
in full confidence that the result Will
demonstrate that national agreement
baseball is conducted on sound business
principles, with due regard to the con-
stitutional and statutory privileges
and rights of all parties engaged in 1t.
The report states that the worlds Sc
ries of 1918 was conducted in a spirit
of true craftsmanship; ticket scalping
was minimized and the New York club
was cleared by the district attorney of
that city of charges of conniving with
scalpers. The Chicago city series was
q success, the report says, but the
Cleveland Pittsburg series suffered lack
of patronage because application for
the sanction of fhe National Commits
sion was too long delayed, resulting
in a detrimental effect on publicity.
The st. Louis series was a failure
from every standpoint" it was not
played under the auspices of the Com
mission and came to no decision be-
cause of a row on the field, Hermann
states.
Correspondence of the Commission
was heavier than during the preceding
year. but the number of decisions re-
quited of it was smaller. Appeals from
decisions of the National Board in
creased, despite the fact that the per-
centage of reversals in former years
was small. The Commission still has 20
cases under consideration.

VIEW GREAT BRITAIN'S
ACTION As TO GARDEN
ENDORSEMENT OF U. S.

Washington, Jan. Announcement
that Great Britain is about to transfer
Sir Lionel Garden its minister at the
City of Mexico, was regarded by ofil-
cial Washington as a substantial man.
Hesitation Of the purpose of the British
government to remove every obstruc-
ton to the execution of the plans of
President Wilson for dealing with the
Mexican situation.
At the state department it was de-
MED that any protest had been made
by the United States TO the British
foreign office against any of the acts
or utterapces aseribed to Minister Car
den. From other sources, however, it
was learned that Ambassador Page did
seek information at the British foreign
office, some time ago. regarding the at
titude of it's representative in Mexico.
About the time this occurred a semi
official statement was issued in Lon
don repudiating a statement attribut-
ed 10 Sir Lionel that President Will
sons policy towards Mexico would not
have been adopted had he not been in
ignorance of the facts.
Officials here expect the transfer OF
the British minister. in view of the
lack of sympathy he is said TO have
shown with the American line of ac-
tion. to have beneficial effect in i'm
pressing the Huerta government with
the fact that there is to be no division
among the powers from which it might
expect to profit.
Sir Lionel first became a figure in
the relations between the United States
and Mexico when, upon his arrival in
Mexico City just after Huerta had i'm
prisoned many deputies and proclaim
ed practical dictatorship he present
ed his credentials. His action was con-
strued in some quarters as q virtual
recognition of Huerta and his govern
Sir Lionel contended, however, that
Huerta had been recognized provisions
ally previously to that, by his home
foreign Office. His action, none the less
was not regarded as favorable to the
attitude Of the United States. 1t was
generally believed in official quarters
that some indication OF the displeasure
with which Sir Lionel's action was re-
garded at Washington was conveyed ia
the British foreign office.
Regarding the renewal of rebel activ-
ity in the neighborhood of Tampico. a
cablegram from Rear Admiral F'letch-
er which was received late TODAY
though dated Saturday, said it was
feared another attack was to be made
upon the town.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 5.-A distinct
warning to the Federal League not to
infringe on what clubs in the Nation
al Agreement consider their rights, is
given in the annual report of August
Hermann, chairman of the National
Baseball Commission, made public here
today.
THE Federal League, which operated
clubs in 1918 in territory occupied by
National Agreement clubs did not
attain prosperity or prestige" the
report says "A passive policy
has been pursued by the Com
mission and the leagues directly
affected toward the organization, but
If the contractual and reservation
rights of National Agreement clubs are
not respected by its (Federal League)
promoters it may become necessary to
employ strenuous measures for the pro-
lection of the interests of major and
minor league clubs,
Rivalry will not be resented so long
as league and club rights are not ignor-
ed, hut Illegal and unsportsmaniike in
reference with, and utter disregard of
established privileges of National
Agreement clubs will justify the adop-
ton of vigorous defensive methods"
Herrmanns statement is regarded as
the answer of organized baseball to the
projects of the Federal League, whose
spokesman, including James A. Gill
more, have declared that while they
respect actual playing contracts held
by National Agreement clubs, they will
disregard the much discussed reserve
clause, which they hold to be Illegal.

A BILLION FEET OF
NAT. TIMBER SOLD.
Gigantic Project Launched
By Forestry Service--Pur-
chasers Will Construct 200
Miles of Railroad.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Sale of q bill
lion feet of standing timber from the
Kaibab National Forest in northern
Arizona, with authority for the con-
struction of 200 miles of railroad by
the purchasers through one of the
richest sections of the West, was ap-
proved today by Secretary Houston OF
the department of agriculture.
Bids will be received up to the mid
die of June this year; then three
years will be allowed the successful
contractors for building the railway.
The timber will be cut gradually over
a period of 25 years.
This project is the most gigantic
launched by the Forestry Service since
it's creation. So carefully have the
service officials mapped out their plans
that by the end of the contract pc
riod the land first barred by the cut
ting will have re-forested by a new
growth and the scenic beauty will re-
main unmarried.
Recognizing the difficulties which lie
in the limited transportation facili-
ties, the service decided that the con-
tractors should be allowed to con-
strtuet a railroad connecting Colorado
and Utah with the Grand Canyon,
which heretofore has been accessible
only by the southern approaches.

Sir Lionel Garden, Minister
OF England in Mexico,
ApDOinted 10 Rio De JaneiTO
As Minister 10 Brazil.
Comes as Surprise In View Of Re.
cent Attacks on His Policy.

London, Jan. 5.-Sir Lionel Garden,
British minister to Mexico, is shortly
to be transferred to Rio De Janeiro,
as minister to Brazil. He was ap-
pointed to Mexico, July Is, 1913, to
succeed Francis William Stronge.
The successor to Sir Lional Garden
at Mexico City probably will be Chas.
Murray Marling, senior counsellor IN
the British diplomatic service, now ac-
credited to Turkey.
Sir Lionel Gardens transfer, which
is a promotion as far as salary is con-
cerned, although the two legations
possess the same standing in the SER
vice, would have been made sometime
ago except for the fact that the Brit
ish foreign office would not make the
change while the minister was under
fire for the alleged interview in which
he was made to reflect on the police
of the United States toward Mexico.
The diplomatic change in Mexico Will
be received with surprise when 1t be-
comes known on this side of the At
lantie, for while Sir Lionels actions
and general demeanor since the out
break of the Mexican troubles have
been considered somewhat indisereet
by the general public, nobody here be-
lieved that he had done anything to
Justify the attacks on him which ap-
peared in some of the American pa
pers In fact, it is expected that the
official statement which doubtless will
be issued when the changes are made
will explain that Sir LionePs trans
l. NJ afro in n c
discredit on the minister
Sir Lionel Garden probably will
come to England before going TO his
new post.
1t is said by his friends that when
Sir Lionel went to Mexico he was Of
fered the choice of going directly to
Rio De Janeiro or of passing six
months in Mexico as minister there
before proceeding to Brazil. sir Lion
ell decided to go to Mexico first.
Unfortunately Sir Lionel, 1t Is
pointed out, went to Mexico with a
reputation of being anti American at
time when the best understanding
between the United States and Great
Britain was vital.
Naturally the British government
defended Sir Lionel against the at
tacks made upon him, but the belief
prevailed at the same time that il
would be better to find another posi-
for him.
Charles Murray Marling. the prob
able successor of Sir Lionel Garden

ed in 1883.

Plans Afoot for Having an
international Census.
And Also Standard System Of
National Bookkeeping.
Worlds Nations VIII Nod a Con.
gress In October In BRUSSELS.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-The nations of the
world will meet in Brussels, Belgium,
next October to plan an international
census and agree on standard sys-
tenn of national bookkeeping, it was
announced today by Roger w. Bah
son, member of the executive commit
tee of the American Statistical Asso-
citation. The census and the Standard
zation of national bookkeeping are for
the purpose, Mr.. Babson stated, of es-
tablishing equitable and national rep
resentation at The Hague Peace Con-
gress.
The American Statistical Association,
it was said by MIR. Babson, has been
invited by a certain European power
to call an international conference at
Brussels of representatives of National
Statistical Associations.
According to Mr.. Babson, the pur-
pose of eventual disarmament and
world peace is distinctly in the minds
of the American committee, the Eu-
ropean power referred to and of the
other nations. Preliminary to the
Brussels conference there will be an
executive meeting in Boston, Feb. 13,
of the committee of the American Sta
tistical Association and representa-
tives of the Statistical Associations of
the 12 greatest foreign powers. This
conference will issue the formal call
for the international meeting in Brus-
sells

huge bank here. DR.. Willis expressed
the opinion that such regional bank
should be strong and self-supporting
and said that to allow to the New
York district 40 or so per cent. of the
working capital OF the system would
be out of harmony with the purposes
of the law.
Secretary McAdoo wished expressed
the opinions of the witnesses as TO
what cities other than New YORK
should be chosen for regional reserve
hanks. The common opinion was that
if the New York area be restricted to
this Immediate vicinity, banks should
be established in the East in Boston
and Philadelphia or Washington. 9th
er cities referred to most frequently
were Chicago, St. Louis, San Francis
co, Cleveland or Cincinnati, Denver
and Atlanta.
Frank L. Hine, president of the
First National Rank of New York, sug-
gested a district embracing New York,
Connecticut and northernG New Jer-
sey. Charles A. Conant, financial ex-
pert, said that the number of regional
banks should be kept as small as pos
sible. His opinion was that the en-
tire territory northeast of the Potomac
river, including PENNSYLVANIA, should
be embraced in one district. In no
other way, Mr.. Conant said, would it
be possible TO create an institution
strong enough to deal with the Joint
stock company banks, private banking
concerns and other financial institu-
tons centering in the New York ter
ritory.
Secretary McAdoo asked whether
such a district, including nearly so
per cent. of the banking resources of
the country, would not result in a top
heavy system, greatly weakening the
other seven regional banks which are
to be created
1T would be better said Mr.. Co.
nant, Ito have one strong regional
bank and seven puny ones than eight
puny banks"
AS for the ether seven banks, Mr..
Conant said he assumed that they
would be located at Chicago, St Louis,
San Francisco. Denver, New Orleans
and possibly Atlanta and Washington
A. Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
Chase National Bank, said he was a
believer in the Central Bank idea, but
since the currency law provided for a
minimum of eight regional banks he
believed that one strong bank should
be set up here. 1t was his opinion
that one regional bank east of the Al
leghanies would be better than two or
more. With such a bank, he said. as
many branches as necessary might be
established.
Paul NJ. Warburg of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co, did not entirely agree with this
view. He felt that if one bank of such
size were established here the remain
ing seven banks would be spread over
territory which, comparatively speak
ing, would be financially lean. Mr.,
Warburg suggested that the Northeast
be divided into three districts consist
ing of New England, New York and
surrounding territory, and Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland and the
District of Columbia.
