CALLS
FOR PARTY PEACE
Issues Appeal to Democrats of
Tennessee.
SHOULD END TROUBLES
Wilson Tells Them 1t is Their DUTY
to Compromise All Differ

Washington, March 14.-An appeal
Tor party harmony among Tennessee
Democrats was issued by President
Wilson tonight. The authorized
statement issued from the White
House says:
MY Judgment is very clear that
IT Is the duty OF all Democrats in
tennessee to accommodate any dif-
ferences they mey have had In the
past and stand solidly together for
the sake OF the prestige and success
or the party throughout the nation.
me nation Is now accepting the SER
wee OF the party as OF the highest
peneht to 1t, and every Democrat
should consider It part of his duty
and privilege to contribute to the
hearty team work which has In re-
cent months made the party SO ef-
fective In the nation.
AS 1 see the situation the causes
which divided the party In Tennessee
no longer exist. The thought OF every
Democrat should ncw be bent very
earnestly towards means OF union and
cooperation ard common national
service. I do not see how, otherwise
the Democrats of the State can null
with the Democrats OF the nation or
the country be enabled to Judge what
tennessee thinks OF the present ad-
ministration at Washington"
The presidents statement was call
ed out by the fact that some Tennes-
see Democrats, including Senator
Shields, believe the recent prohibition
law enacted in that State makes the
fusion OF Independent Democrats and
Republicans which twice elected Gov.
Hooper (Republician) no longer nee
essary.
The prohibition issue divided the
party, and it is understood Demo-
Gratis believe that If Gov. Hooper
should be supported for third term
even more drastic laws may be passed.
The president sides with those who
believe the issue to have been closed
with the passage OF the present law.

NV York, March 14.-The passing
OF the United States Express COM
pany, which its directors yesterday
voted to dissolve, will throw $1,000
persons out of employment They
received in salary and wages approx
imately $6,00O,000 n year.

In the large offices, have grown old

The prospective dissolution will af-
express service covering 32.93S
miles of railroad with between 5000
and 5000 stations, according to a
statement made public today by Dun
can |. Roberts, president OF the com
pany since January, 1913. Mr.. Rob
erts denied that the parcel post vas
responsible for the proposed liQuida-
ton but said that the new rates fixed
by the interstate commerce commits
sion was the chief factor in infuen-
cling the directors. Mr.. Roberts also
blamed State rate commission which
he declared ordered rates in some in
stances lower than those fixed by
the interstate commerce commission.
Continuing, Mr.. Roberts said: There
is no quarrel over the parcel post ;
1t fills a want the express companies
never could, with the utter imprac-
ticability Of rural deliveries by them
The fault lies with the change in our
rates"
The stockholders, under the plan
of liquidation, the terms of which
remain to be decided, will probably
get more than the present market
value OF the stock as the company's
liquid assets are valued in excess of
$S,000,000. There are 1 ,556 stock
holders of record, OF which 74O are
women. The largest individual block
$1,000 shares. is heald by the estate
OF the late r. II. Hartman. The Platt
holdings OF $50 shares are much
smaller than was generally believed.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Nov. g.
Yesterday afternoon a large crowd
gathered at the baseball park to wit
ness what had promised to be one of
the most interesting baseball games of
the season, a contest between the 18th
Infantry and an AlEOahu team that
has been organized by A. L. Castle for
the series with the Tigers.
At exactly 2:39, as the umpire was
preparing to announce the batteries,
an innocent-lookiug cloud turned over
and dumped enough water on Seho-
field Barracks to irrigate the Sahara
desert Those who were not fortunate
enough to be in the grandstand or to
find some place Of refuge from the
downpour We're drenched to the skin,
but we're probably saved from what
might have been disappointing game,
for the All-Oahu team was not the ALI
Oahu team that had been advertised.
Blondy Williams, Henshaw, Lai Tin,
Lang Akana and Argabrite were all
absent, and the aggregation that had
been gotten together to back up Tod
Sloan was no match for the 25th In
fantry. 49, .-.f

FOOTBALL TEAM
TRIMS ARTILLERY

! Especial Star-BuIletin Correspondence
, SCH0FIELD BARRACKS, Nov. g.
The football team of the 1st Field Ar
t;llery suffered their second defeat
yesterday morning, and this time at
the hands of the I'd Infantry from
Fort Shafter. The score was to 0.
The I'd Infantry took the offensive
| from the start; and it was seldom that
the ball was on the infantry's half of
the field. 0utplayed and outgeneraled
the wagon soldiers stuck to the pre-
historic game of bucking the line,
which gained them nothing, for they
made but two first downs in the en-
tire game, and were never within
striking distance CT the infantry's
goal. The I'd Infantry, on the con-
trary, held their real strength in re-
serve and dabbled with end runs,
forward passes and low, bounding
runts, waiting for a bit of good luck
to give them possession OF the ball
within striking distance CT the artil-
lery goal. The opportunity came Lut
once. Early in the fourth quarter,
with the ball On the artillery's 35-yard
Inc, Newton, the feet infantry quar-
terback, received the ball on a for
ward pass from Bailey and carried
the pigskin to within seven yards of
the artillery goal Bosworth's at
tempt to circle right end was smoth-
cred. A plunge through right tackle
gained two yards. Bailey carried the
ball around left end to the one-yard
line and en- the fourth down Friend
carried it over the goal line for tie
only score of the game. Bailey failed
to kick goal. The ball hit the goal
post, then the cross bar, but fell in
side instead of going over. ".- i
The interference developed by the
I'd Infantry back field was better than
anything of the kind that has been
seen at Schofield this season, and the
end runs by Connolly, Bailey, Bos-.
worth and Newton behind well-fornl-
ed interference were the, most specta-
cular features Of the game. The in
fantry gained from scrimmage total
CT 134 yards as compared to Sc by
the artillery, and made i've tirst downs
to the artillery's two, OF the five
forward passes tried by the infantry
and the two by the artillery only one
resulted in any gain, but this one
was largely responsible for the IN
fantry's six points. Newton's punts
were longer and better placed than
either Moore's or Halls.
The artillery team has shown but
very little Improvement with the pro-.
gresS of th2 season, but it is rei-her

Luck Yee's luck held yesterday aft
ernoon, when the skies refused to hold,
and a downpour put an end to what

for the Travellers in the second spasm,
and another in the fourth, gave Sam
Hops men commanding lead, and it
isn't probable that they would have
let the game get away from them as
they did the day before in the Punahou
contest.
When the Travelling Chinese and the
Oahu League Chinese came together
yesterday afternoon, there was prob
ably more bitterness and more rivalry
between the two teams than between
any two organizations that have met
on a local diamond for many a long
month Lang Akana, who quit the C.
A. Us a while back. appeared in uni
form again jhss to have the satisfac-
ton of getting crack at the Travel
ers, with whom he is at loggerheads.
IN fact, Sam Hopp refused to play the
Oahu league picked team with Akala
in the lineup, which shows just about
how the rivalry pot is simmering.
The game opened with Luck zee on
the firing line for the C. A. us, while
the reliable Apau was warmed up for
the Travellers. The first three Trav-
elers to face Luck were retired in
order, on close plays at first, and the
fans settled down to watch an exciting
contest. When the local Chinese came

The second inning was sad one
for Luck zee. He just couldn't locate
the plate, and walked five men, TO the
tune of four runs 1t might have been
all right at that. had Izai Tin handled
an infield grounder of Apau's bat per-
fectly, but he juggled the ball just
long enough to put the big fellow on
first, and from then on Luck zee was
up in the air mile.
With the third inning it started to
rain, and the players were washed off
