WITH NATL COMMISSION

New York. June 1.-THE case of Heine
Schulz. pitcher of the New York Amer
leans, now rests with the National Com
mission. President Frank Farrell of the
New Yorks will take action to enjoin
Schulz from appearing with the Buffalo
Federals only on the initiative of the
National Commission.
Il am going to put it up to the Nation
al Commission" Mr.. Farrell said today.
This body has absolute authority in all
matters relating to the Federal League.
On my own account | wouldn't spend
five cents over Schulz, not ever for the
satisfaction of tying him up through
law think, though. that if the Ma
tional Commission wishes me to stop him
from playing in Buffalo it will be an
easy matter. because that city is in this
state and an injunction would keep
Schulz idle at least half of the playing
season"

OF Portland Whiskey

Portland, Me, June 16,-Local IL
Quors, so-called whiskey and the 9TH
er concoctions, have for the past week
been the object of attention on the
part of Uncle Sam. Special investigat-
ors Of the treasury department have
been in the city and they have been
busily engaged in all sections.
1t has been matter of common
knowledge that the men have been
here. but Just what has been the pur-
pose of their visit, has not been given
out. II Is known, from what some of
them have said and from the places
they have heen, that they have been
looking into the quality of the liquor
being sold as well as TO the conditions
Surrounding its sale. Other articles,
besides liquors. have also been the
object &C attention on the part of the
investigators.
About all the inspectors themselves
will say Ia regard to their visit is that
the. have been here or business rela-
ting 20 she internal revenue division of
the treasury department. Though the
aouitsration OF foods does not espe-
eially come under the direction of the
treasury department, il has been in
tinated that the investigators have
been looking into the mixing of Ii
quors in Portland with a view to find
ing gut tust what has been going on.
So far as is known, Portland is the
only place in Maine that has, as yet
been visited by the investigators, but
It is regarded as very likely that 9TH
er points in Maine will be included in
the itinerary Of the investigators. Just
what places will be visited, however,
are not known.
