BY PREFERENTIAL PRIMARY IS
 DISCUSSED BY LEADERS OF DEMOCRACY.
MANY OPPOSED TO PLAN
Think 1t Would Interfere With State Party Organization in Many of the States if the General Primary Plan Is Adopted.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Plans for put ting into effect the presidential pref erence primary idea suggested by President Wilson were discussed here today by Democratic leaders. A plan of state primaries proposed by Joseph W. Folk, was supported by other speakers, including Secretary Red field and Secretary Wilson, Senators Owen, Louis D. Brandeis, Assistant Secretary Hamin of the Treasury Department, and John Burke, treas urer of the United States.
 A committee was named to draft d plan for the state primary method of nominating presidents If the com mittee's report is adopted at the next meeting of the club, it probably will be presented to the meeting in May of the house of governors and the committee will urge Congress to adopt Legislation necessary for mak- ing the plan operative.
 The trust question was discussed during the meeting and some differ ences of opinion arose between See retary and Mir Brandeis as to the best method of dealing with com pines. MT Brandeis insisted that his long-advocated method of vigorous prosecution was best. while Secretary Redfield held that the party should not proceed too rapidly in this work for fear it might disturb business con ditions He said that the trusts seem ed to be beginning to realize that they would have to come into line and that they might be brought under proper control without taking any chances of upsetting general business conditions
 Opposition to presidential prefer ence primaries, MT Folk told the club, had been due largely to belief that it would interfere with the rights of the states to regulate and conduct their own elections" For this reason he said he was for the state plan.
 There should be little difficulty, ' MT. Folk declared "in working ont such system and an amendment to the constitution, it seems, would not 1 be required to carry this plan into ef. feet. Congress might by law author ize presidential preference primaries to be held under the laws of the diff ferent states, as state primaries now are held
 A bill to provide for primary ele2 tions at which voters of all parties may choose their presidential nomi nees has been completed by Repre- sentative Rucker of Missouri chair man of the house committee on cleo tion of president and vice president to carr yout the administration rec concentrations The measure will b6

BALL PLAYERS
 WIN CONTENTION
PRACTICALLY EVERY REQUEST ASKED OF THE NATIONAL CON-
 MISSION IS GRANTED.
There Were But Few Vital Differ ences Between the Players and the Organization.

Cincinnati, Jan. 6-With the excep tion of possibly two minor consid erations, the committee from the Base ball Players Fraternity, which came here today, won every request of the IT it made upon the National Com mission and a committee from the Ma tional Association of Professional Baseball Clubs.
 After considering requests made by the players fraternity, baseball mag. mates and others were guests of Au, gust Hermann at dinner tonight.
 Extemporaneou speeches brought out that there are fe wvital differ ences between the players and the club owners. Ban Johnson, president of the American league. said that any disputes could have been easily and readily adjusted had it not been for the lawyer-presiGent of the fraternity, David Futz.
 During the session today the com mission laid over six and passed 1 of the requests of the fraternity. The first one not agreed upon was con corning the unconditional release of players who have received ten days notice. Players insisted that they should be free to sign with any team immediately on receipt of the noticA The commission attempted to effect compromise by substituting the word negotiate" which would permit players to negotiate with any club, but they would not be free agents
 The second request not accepted pertained only to national association players. This provided that players of that association should be given 10 days notice before they could be released unconditionally.
 The third request held for further consideration dealt with the transfer of players. David Fultz argued tha. when player is transferred the con- tract should follow the player. This request was opposed by the national commission, which declared it would not be just to the players.
 Another request objected to and passed provided tha. written notice should be given players when waivers are asked upon them. MT Fult2 maintained that there should he no secrecy in this matter, while Chair man Hermann endeavored to explain that the secret asking of waivers did not injure the player
 The fifth request held for further discussion provided for he uncondi tional release of players who served 12 years in the major and the class A leagues. Objection to this rule was made by the committee from the class A leagues, which strongly op posed it's acceptance.
 The sixth and last request held UT for later decision was that waivers when once asked shall no. be with drawn Chairman Hermann was op posed to this rule and on his motion it was passed.

ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE ON CURRENCY SYSTEM HEARS
 WALL STREET KING.
TALKS OF REGIONAL BANK
Don't Care Whether 1t Is Located In New York or Not and Is Not Par. tcular About the Strength of the Eastern Bank.

New York Jan. 6.-J. P. Morgan aligned himself today with advocates of regional bank of commandina size in the district which is to include New York. Most of the other wit, nesses who appeared at today's hear. ing before the federal reserve organi. zation committee shared MT. Nor gan's views, arguing for the estab- hshment of a regional bank In this territory which would represent 70 per cent or more of the capital of the entire national system. Secreta- ries McAdoo and Houston, who com pose the committee, intimated that they did not share this view although both said that they had reached no decision.
 Mir. Morgan indicated that the in- vitation to give his views was some thing of a surprise
 Explaining that he had not consid- cred carefully the division of the country into regional districts, MT. Morgan said he would not attempt to outline any detailed plan.
 I'm trying to see how the whole United States is to be handled" he explained That's all I'm good for" MT. Morgan surprised his hearers by saying he did not consider it import ant whether a regional bank were To- cated in New York. It might as well be in Boston, he believed. The im- portant thing, he said was to have the bank which served the New York district of sufficient size to command the respect of the business men and bankers of all countries.
 The amount of capital in this bank, which many witnesses had said should be larger than that of any member bank, Mr Morgan believed was comparatively unimportant
 Ut is not so much the capital he said, "as the assets the bank repre- sents."
 Do you think" asked Secretary McAdoo, that foreign banks would look at one regional bank in forming their estimate or at the entire system of units under a co-ordinated board ?'
 That depends on the action of the co-ordinated board" Mir. Morgan re- piled He said that if the board could show that the system was CO ordinated, foreign bankers would feel that they were doing business with one comprehensive bank.
 "The real idea" he said, "is to get the most convenient arrangement e serve the whole reserve association
 Secretary McAdoo handed to MT Morgan large white sheet of paper on which was an outline map of the country and asked him to indicate on it at a later time the points at which he thought regional banks should he placed and the district they could cover. MT Morgan looked doubtfullN at the secretary and said he feared

man who really loves America will
ask and speak in the true spirit OF
neutrality, which is the spirit of inn
partially and fairness and friend
Illness to all concerned. The spirit OF
the nation in this critical matter Will
be determined largely by what indi-
viduals and society and those gathered
in public meetings do and say, upon
what newspapers and magazines con-
tain, upon what our minister's utter in
their pulpits and men proclaim as
their opinions on the streets.
1.-THE people Of the United States
are drawn from many nations and
chiefly from the nations now at war.
Some will wish one nation, others
another to succeed in the momentous
struggles. It will be easy to excite
passion and difficult to allay it. Those
responsible for exciting It will assume
heavy. responsibility, responsibility
for no less thing than that the people
of the United States may be divided
into camps hostile to each other in
impulse and, opinion II not inzaction.
Such diversions amongst US would be
fatal to our peace of mind and might
seriously stand In the way OF the
proper performance Of our duty as the
one great nation at peace, the one
people holding itself ready to play a
part OF impartial mediation and speak
the councils Of peace and accommoda-
ton not7as a partisan but as aIfriend.
81 venture, therefore, my fellow
countrymen, to speak solemn word
OF warning to you against that deep
est, most subtle, most essential breach
Of neutrality, which may spring out
OF partisanship, out Of passionately
taking sides. The United States must
be neutral In fact as well as In name.
during these days that are to try mans
soul. We must be impartial in thought
as well as in action, must put curb
upon OH sentiments as we'll as upon
every transaction that might be CON
strued as a preference Of one party
to the struggle to another.

ourselves the restraint which wilf
