FIRE CATCHES IN
STORAGE SHEDS
Firemen Are Called to Morris

age Confined to Stock.

The storage sheds of Morris & Lewis
at Second avenue and Twenty-third
street were in danger yesterday after
noon for a time when some scrap pa
per and rags caught fire in one OF the
sheds near the alley. The firemen were
called to the scene at 1886 and extin-
guished the blaze within a short time
Had the fire got a better start seri-
GUS blaze would have resulted. Shacks
are crowded together in this vicinity
and would make excellent fuel for
large confagration- II is thought that
one of the employees threw burning
cigarette or cigar stump on the floor OF
the shed. The damage is confined to
the stock OF rags and paper, the build
ing escaped the flames
The fremen were called at IL O'Clock
today to extinguish a sawdust fire at

Plan Is to Await Outside Capt.

Are Arranged.

Ell Paso, Texas, July 2f.-The south
gun, according to advices received at
Juarez. Villa was still in Chihuahua
City this morning, but was expected
to depart south within 4s hours. and
his army of $4,000 was reported en-
training for the journey to Queretaro.
where three divisions OF the constitu-
tionalist army will converge for tri-
umphant entry into the national capi-
tai.
According to constitutionalists here.
advices from Monterey say General
Gonzales, commanding the eastern di-
vision. is moving his troops to San
Luis Potosi, within easy reach OF
Queretaro. Obregon's western divis-
ion is at Guadalajara. 1t is thought
railway communication with the capi-
tai is intact. Constitutionalists will
approach no closer than Queretaro to
the capital until final arrangements
for the transfer of government from
CarbajaI to Carranza.
CarpdJai May Resist.
Washington, D. c., July 21.-Provi-
sional President Carbajal does not in
tend to surrender Internationally to
Carranza and will concentrate his mil
itary forces to resist invasion rather
than to permit the constitutionalists
to--enter Mexico-City without previous
agreement not to wreak vengeance on
the lives and property of those who
supported Huerta. This is the tenor
of information from authoritative
sources in Mexico City to Washington
diplomats. 1t has spread a feeling of
pessimism in some quarters over the
possibilities of an amicable settlement
OF the revolution. -
FederaIs Concentrating.

OPEN CONFERENCE
ON IRISH TROUBLE
Delegates of Political Parties
Are Received at Palace
by King George.

London, England, July 21.-Great
crowds gathered outside Buckingham
palace to witness the arrival of va
rious party leaders who are to partici-
pate in the conference inaugurated by
King George with view to bringing
a peaceable settlement OF the Irish
home rule question. Eight men who
represent various parties, liberal.
unionist, nationalist and Ulsterite,
came in motof' cars with the exception
of the marquis of Lansdowne, who
walked. Speaker Lowther of the
commons will preside. King George
received the statesmen and shook
hands cordially with all.
Probably this is the first time Red
mond and Dillon, Irish nationalist
leaders, ever exchanged greetings with
sovereigns. AS has been the practice
the nationalists will remain away
from functions where they would like
ly be brought in contact with roy
atty, since the personal feeling among,
politicians of the United Kingdom nev-,
er ran SO high as at present The
atmosphere of the gathering has not
been otherwise than extremely chilly,
and formal. After brief conversa>l
ton the king withdrew about noon.l
leaving the conferees to their delibera.
tions.s
The conference was in session about
an hour and a half and adjourned To.
meet again tomorrow.
Preparations were made today by
the chief unionist organizer for the
general election. He sent orders to
his constituencies to prepare for an
election three weeks after the confer
ance, as the leaders are convinced
that no matter what may be done at
Buckingham palace, the house of COM
mons soon must be dissolved.

of the Fourth district of Illinois"

He said he had already forwarded
his resignation to Governor Dunno and

"Unfortunately,'' he said, 81 came
to this house a poor man. Fortunate
ly for myself, however, taking into
consideration the charge against me.
1 leave this house poor man. 1 have
been compelled during my services
here to borrow money from friends.
1t so happened that afterwards they
became opponents of legislation which
passed this house affecting their busi-
ness as pawn brokers and liquor deal
ers. 1t is true 1 have not had educa-
tional and social training and advan-
tages other members may boast

for circulating matter for manufac-
turers; that McDermott had claimed
he received $500 from local pawn
brokers to work against the federal
loan shark law and $4,000 campaign
from the Brewers associ-
alton. McDermott's defense was that
the money he received from the pawn
brokers was personal loans; that the
brewers contributed only $500 out of
personal friendship. The majority of
the investigating committee recon-

guilty of acts OF grave improperly,
and added that his training and asso-
Citations have not given him ethical

Restraining Hal Chase From
Going to FederaIs.

New York, July 21.-Owners and rep
resentatives of the eight American
league clubs are assembled in extraordi-
nary session here today for the pur-
pose of shaping a policy to meet the
threatened strike tomorrow of players
meeting not a word for publication was
spoken by any of the magnates, with
the exception of President Ban John
son. Their attitude however, was one
of war. Johnson said he had nothing
to retract from his declaration yester-
day in which he asserted every Ameri-
can league park would close its gates
all summer if necessary in case the
players struck.
President Fultz of the Players fra
ternity, whose strike ultimatum was
placed before the magnates today, held
many brief conferences with directors
OF the players organization. He de-
clared the players remained firm in
their demand that the national commits
sion rescind its ruling in the Kraft
case.
I'VE hope the trouble will be settled
peacefully" said Fultz.
Ebbets Averts Break.
Owner Ebbets of the Brooklyn Ma
tionals, who is a large stockholder of
the Newark International club, an
nounced a settlement while the mag
mates were in session to determine a
course of action in case of the strike
of players. In settlement of all claims
on Kraft, the Nashville club will re-
ceive $1,000. Ebbets announced. 81
made arrangements without request or
instructions from either the American or
the National league" Ebbets said. 81
settled the case myself because 1 did
not want to see troubles between or
ganized baseball and the players"
President Fultz of the players fra
ternity expressed qualification at the
outcome.
While the American league was still
in session, Ban Johnson was informed
OF the settlement.
That's up to Ebbets. 1t is his busi-
ness, not mine. ] don't see where the
American league is involved in the
controversy in any way" said John
son.
Kraft recently declined to obey
an order by the national commission
to report from the Newark Interna-
ton league club to the Nashville club
of the Southern association and was
suspended. Kraft maintained that by
joining the Nashville club he would
receive $3.50 per month less than is
paid him by the Newark club.
FederaIs Win Chase Case.
Buffalo. n. Y, July 21.-Organized
baseball suffered a legal defeat today
when Justice Bishell granted a mo-
tion to vacate the Injunction obtained
by the Chicago American league club
restraining Hal Chase from playing
with the Buffalo Federals.
Lack of mutual obligation and the
so-called 10 day clause of the contract
whereby a club could terminate the
contract on 10 days notice, while the
player was bound under several pro-
visions of the national agreement"
formed the basis of the decision va
eating the injun nction.
Justice Bishell denied that organized
baseball was in violation of the Sher-
man law.
