NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-War or
peace? Which shall it be?
On the meeting of the Federal
league moguls, which is scheduled to
open today at the hotel Biltmore,
probably hangs the immediate answer
OF the baseball struggle.
Ostensibly called simply as a meet
ing Of Federal league club owners,
the conference is known positively to
be an effort to call off all hostilities
between organized baseball and the
new league. The Federals-or at
least most OF them-want peace. They
didn't make a fortune last year and
In fact some OF them dropped large
and copious chunks of mazuma. Old
er and wiser heads among them are
figuring that peace on any reasonable
terms would mean money saved.

Market Closes Irregular-New
Haven and Gould Shares
Go Lower.

NEW YORK, July I1.-Further
acute weakness In New Haven shares
was the feature Of the early deal
ings on the stock exchange today.
Within the first half hour the stock
declined abruptly on small dealings
70 55}5, compared with yesterdays
low price OF 5Sh. Ontario and West
ern, a New Haven subsidiary, also
fell to the lowest quotation in some
years. Otherwise price changes were
mostly nominal. except for Canadian
Pacific, which recovered a point Of
yesterdays loss and Baltimore and
Ohio, which rose as much Gould is
sues were not especially conspicuous
although Missouri Pacific reacted
after an initial advance and soon
went lower than before. Chesapeake
and Ohio and Missouri, Kansas and
Texas also established lower prices.
Trading was in diminished volume
owing in part to the small attend
anee Of brokers on the exchange.
Noon-Another selling movement
occurred today In New Haven, Chess
apeake & Ohio, the Gould issues and
some obscure stocks producing new
low records. The selling appeared
to be largely of bear origin, following
an announcement that the Interstate
Commerce Commission had ordered
the st. Paul road to reduce rates be-
tween Minnesota and North and
South Dakota points The closing was
irregular
Recoveries were made by high
grade stocks and some of the low
priced issues rebounded ] to points
The movement was checked, however
by sudden declines in Western Union
and American Telephone and Tele-
graph. which fell from ! to over 2
points respectively.

Passaic Farmers Fall Into
FreehoIders' Tax Trap

PATTERSON, July 11.-Innocent ad-
vertising for land for a colony farm
proposed by the Passaic County
Board Of Freeholders will probably
add about s1,000.0OO to the tax rate roll
in the farming districts. even though
the board doesn't make a purchase.
Nearly a score of property owners
have offered sites. After delving into
the records of the Passaic County
Board of Taxation President Wollen-
berg, of the freeholders, found that
practically all of the sites offered at
from $4,000 to 100000 were assessed
at about fifty per cent. of the price
asked by the owners. This has been
brought to the attention Of the Tax
Board, which will probably increase
the assessments when the tax books
are prepared in September

lis. The match was largely one Of
service. in which Johnston out
manoeuvred Murray. While Johnston
showed an advantage in service, MUIR
ray made number Of very clever
gets, and 1t was mainly through
Johnston's experience that he was
able to obtain a victory after thirty
two hard-fought games.
Other matches in the third round
We're won by Norris williams, who
beat George M. Church. at 81, 6-1,
and by Karl Behr. who scored over
p. P. Larned. at 81, 6-2. Although
Williams appears by the score to
have had very one-sided victory,
Church gave him a fairly good fight,
as most of the games went to deuce.
Williams was wonderful in his plac-
ing, and in the long run he was en-
tirely too much for Church.
