Wanted Peaceful Settlement.

This Mr.. Gilmore was not willing to do
hi,t he was prepared to go over the
case with Messrs johnson and Tener as
the heads Of the leagues involved. Mr..
Gilmore stated that President Johnson
was to take the matter up with Gov.
Tener but since that time he haG not
heard from either of the major league
executives. he therefore assuming that
Gov. Tener had vetoed the proposed con-
ference.
Under the circumstances the Federal
Lea que felt that in self-respect it was
compelled to go through with the KILL
fer case. particularly as it was abso-
lutely assured of successful issue OF
the case This confidence was based upon
the fact that killifer'S agreement with
the Federal League was straight three
wear contract with the release clause
eliminated entirely, whereas the Phila-
delphia clubs justification for killifer 8
reclamation was based on the reserve
clause in his old contract which incor-
porated the ten-day release clause of the
formal national agreement contract.
Not Anxious to Get Into Court.
However having no animosity to or
ganized ball, and no particular anxiety
for dragging base ball into the courts,
the Federal League, in its proceeding in
the Killifer case, had left the door open
| for adjustment without resort to ex-
IRENE measures, by simply asking for a
hearing on an application for an injunc-
ton against Catcher killifer
AS the date for this hearing is set for
April 8, there is ample time for the law
yers and the principals on both sides
to reach some agreement whereby judicial
scrutiny of the base ball contract may
be avoided. If this is not done Presi-
dent Gilmore declares the case against
Killifer will be pushed to the bitter end.
and will be followed by similar proceed
ings against Blanding. who also signed
straight contract.

GILMORE IS OPPOSED
TO A BASE BALL WAR
Head of Federals Says Killifer Case,
Brought in Self-Defense, Can
Be Settled Peacefully.

During the Federal League. schedule
meeting in Baltimore Monday and Tues
day President Gilmore of the Federal
League made two important statements
which appears in this weeks issue of
Sporting Life. One was a decara-
ton regarding his stand on the contract
breaking question and the other was a
heretofore unknown, and therefore start
ling, phase of the killifer suit. President
Gilmore stated that he is as much OPP
posed to contract breaking tactics as he
was at the start of the war and that in
this he but echoes the sentiments of his
entire organization.
He stated that he was misquoted or
misunderstood in his famous order of re-
prisal, which was not designed to go into
immediate effect, was not so issued to his
subordinates and has not been attempted
as yet, all reports to the contrary not

council just a little hasty. If the
student body really wants athletics and
can show that it will support the
teams, we don't believe that the trus
tees will deny that which makes col
1cSe life so enjoyable and causes SO
many fond "reminiscences and everlast-
ing remembrance and love for our
alma mater.

action. 1t is not too late to win our

ing policy. Let our slogan be 'ath-

now being started"
Baltimore is to get the A. A. [. cham
ponships this summer. The games will
take place at Homewood Field, which is
the athletic field of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity. That is the only place in Balti-
more where such an event could be held,
there being no other ground suitable.
This fact brings to mind the conditions
here. 1t is rather unfortunate that there
is not in Washington single place where
any event of this kind could be held.
Washington is probably the only city of
real prominence in the United States
which does not boast at least one good
outdoor running track. This is the ma
tons capital, supposedly the center of
interest, and yet from an athletic stand
point it is in a ridiculous position. Wash
ington is today not in a position to have
any event of an athletic character that
would require tirst-class accommodations
because of lack of suitable quarters
and the total absence of any kind of a
track, at least, a track worthy of the
name.
When will somebody take interest
enough in that condition to remedy it?

FREE TOLL REPEAL
CORRECTION MADE
IN HOUSE TUESDAY
Interstate Commerce Commit
tee Puts New Clause in Act
Replacing Faulty Section
Vote on Substitution ID to 2

WASHINGTON, March 10. - The
house Interstate commerce committee
Tuesday by a vote of II to . adopted
a second section TO the Sims bill re-
pealing the free tolls clause OF the
Panama canal act, the new section
correcting an omission in the original
measure.
The correction relates to section 5
OF the act, wherein this language oc-
ours:
when based upon net registered
tonnage for ships Of commerce the
tolls shall not exceed S1.25 per net
registered ton nor be less, other than
for vessels of the United States and its
citizens, than the estimated proper
tionate cost Of the actual maintenance
and operation Of the canal, subject
however, to the provisions of article
19, of the convention between the
United States and the republic Of
Panama, entered into Nov. IS, 1903"
Language Altered.
This language is altered to read in
the amendment adopted Tuesday:
when based upon net registered
tonnage for ships of commerce the
tolls shall not exceed S1.25 per net
registered ton nor be less than rs cents
per net registered ton, subject. how
ever, to the provisions OF article 10,
of the convention between the United
States and the republic of Panama,
entered into Nov. IS, 1903"
The sentence which follows this Ian
guage in the act reads:
IF the tolls shall not be based upon
net registered tonnage they shall not
exceed the equivalent of S1.25 per net
registered ton as nearly as the same
may be determined nor be less than
the equivalent OF % cents per net
registered ton"

ASQU|TH'S PLANS
LESSEN TENSION
Prospect of Civil War AS Re-
sort of Anti-HOme Rule
Forces in Ulster Province
Less Formidable.

LONDON. March 10. - Although
radical unionist leaders declared Tues
day that the government proposals in
regard to home rule and Ulster prov
ince, made in parliament Monday by
Premier ASquith. were unfeasible,
there was an appreciable lessening Of
the tension.
The prospect Of civil war in Ulster
province as a last resort of the
protestant anti-hOme rule forces, also
seemed less formidable.
Newspapers with q leaning toward
the unioniSt cause in Ulster, were di-
vided in opinion, but some urged a
cautious course in the belief that the
ASquith proposals opened the way to
settlement of one Of the most
troublesome questions of the century.
The fact that the electors Of the Ul-
ster counties were given opportunity
TO say whether they wanted exclusion
from the operation Of the home rule
was satisfactory TO most Of the union
ist papers. but the time limit of six
years exclusion was bitterly attacked.
However, the declaration Of Sir Ed
ward Carson. chief Of the protestant
anti-home rulers in Ulster, that some
progress had been made toward a So
luton, was accepted as an indication
that the Ulster uniOnistS would event.
ually accept some proposition based
upon the proposals made by the gov
ernment in the house committee.
The view was held among some Of
the enti-hOme rule chiefs that any
thing might happen" within six years
which would enable the uniOnists to
remove the six year limit Of exclusion.

1t is a matter Of common report at
the post that the animus of the en-
nifty against KOehler entertained by
certain officers who are pressing the
charges against him, is his action in

character from New London.
Maj. Koehler, testifying in his own

is the victim of a conspiracy on the

with the wives of enlisted men had
been a scandal at the post and whose
