Strasburg. Germany, Jan. 5.-The
fiat declaration today by Col. Won
Reuter- of the 99th Infantry, who is
now being tried by court martial on
charges arising out of the trouble be-
tween the military and civil authori-
ties at Zabern, Alsace, that the civil
laws were non-existent so far as the
troops were concerned and that they
were the sole judges in certain sit
uations, was the outstanding feature
of the testimony today. He was pre-
pared to order citizens shot in the
streets if the disturbances continued.
An interesting light was thrown on
the military conception of what con-
stitutes disorders by the testimony of
Lieut.. Schad of the same regiment,
who Is also being court martialled.
Schad ordered the arrest of civilian
as he stated on the stand, Because
suspected him of having laughed"

by the Federal Reserve Organization
committee consisting of Secretary NC
Adoo Of the treasury department and
Secretary Houston of the department
of agriculture. On this committee un-
der the new law devolves the re-
sponsibility of mapping out the region

bank in each. To aid 1t in reaching
its decision the committee today be-
gan a series of hearings which will
be continued three days more in New
York and subsequently in other i'm
portant financial centers-
number of New York's financiers
gave their opinions on the subject to-
day. 1t quickly developed that the
committee had difficult task on It's
hands, and that it probably would be
impossible to satisfy both New York
and the rest of the country. Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the City
National Bank, said he thought the
committee would find 1t impossible to
work out a plan that would fulfill all
requirements.
TT presents almost an insolvable
problem" said Secretary McAdoo
when Mr.. vanderlip had given his
opinion as to the manner in which the
regional reserve district should be
drawn up.

favored the creation in New York of

will be filed tomorrow with Associate
Justice Haley of the supreme court,

National Commission Now Ready
To Face Players Demands==Gives
No Hint as to Its Attitude.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 5.-Afaer TAX
ing ND the requests of the baseball
players fraternity, one by one, and
discussing them thoroughly, the Ma
tional Baseball Commission and the
committee from the National Associa
ton of Minor Leagues adjourned to
night ready to represent solid front
when the committee of players present
their case tomorrow.
No announcement was issued as to
what demands had been conceded or
denied, but on good authority, it was
stated that not more than four of the
demands will cause any friction at to-
morrow's meeting. Probably the most
important announcement was that the
meeting tomorrow would be open to
both public and press. Many believe
that this augers well for the players.
1t was announced previously to the
Joint meeting that the only request to
which the minor leagues objected was
the one that asks that 10 days notice
be given players before their release.
There are several requests which the
majors do not favor, but just what
these are the major league officials re-
fused to divulge.
Before the joint meeting the Ma
tional Commission was in session most
of the day. Chairman August Herr
mann and Secretary John f. Bruce
were reelected and both submitted
their annual reports. Secretary Bruce
reported that the total money hand
led by the commission from all
sources,s including the worlds and diff
ferent city series amounted to $685.

New York, Jan. 5.-The oil tank
steamer Oklahoma broke in two amid
ships without warning at 7.30 o'clock
Sunday morning south of Sandy Hook,
and a large number of her crew of
some 40 men perished.
The stern section in which was sit
uated all the heavy machinery of the
vessel and on which there were 32
members of the crew, sank immedi-
ately Eight members of the crew
were rescued by the Hamburg Ameri-
can Line steamer Bavaria, whose cap
tain said some of the Oklahoma's men
told him that they saw an open boat
put away from the wreck with eight
or 10 men in it.
This information was contained in
a wireless dispatch received tonight by
the Hamburg American Line here
from Capt Graalfs of the steamer
Barvarian, which was heading for Bos !.
ton with the eight survivors of the
tanker on board The message. which
came by the way of Siasconsett, said:
"On Jan. at 6 A. M, We sighted
signals of distress of a vessel. The
wind was north northeast, with a ve-
locity of As miles an hour. The
seas were high and rough. At dawn
we saw the forepart of a steamer float
ing on the water. 1t was the tank
steamer Oklahoma from New York.
AT s A. NJ. we were close to the
wreck and lowered a boat with six
men who succeeded, after great eff
fort, in seizing rope that was thrown
to them from the Oklahoma The men
of the Oklahoma lowered themselves
into the boat, quite exhausted by their
experience of the last "a hours.
Capt. Gunther stated that last Sun
day at 7.30 A. NJ. during heavy wealth
er and without any previous warning,
the ship suddenly. broke in two be-
hind the bridges. In about 22 min
utes the after part of the ship, with a
crew of 32 men, sank into the deep,
the stern pointed upward with the
propeller twirling. The forepart was
kept atloat by the bulkhead, the stem
up to the rear edge protruding from
the water. The lifeboats either went
down with the ship or were smashed
Immediately after the catastrophe.
ON the evening of January 4, a
Spanish steamer (probably the Manuel
Calvo) had appeared in the vicinity
of the Oklahoma, but was unable, ow-
ing to the bad weather, to accomplish
anything. Immediately after the Ba-
