foolish over the job. Twice before he
had the whole affair framed up, and
could have stepped into the pilots
house merely by saying the word.
When EVers was deposed Bresna-
han was called in by Charley Muir
ply, and informed of, what was COM
ing off. There have been lots of stor-
les about the i'll feeling between the
two athletes, but how far this is
wrong in Bresnahan's case can be
seen when it is stated that he pro-
tested strongly against dropping
EveTs.
He pointed out to Murphy that he
would be starting something he
couldn't get away with, especially
with the Federal Leaguers ready for
battle. Subsequent developments
bore out Rogers prophecy.
But when Bresnahan recently
made a proposition to the Cub own
.ers, naming the terms on which he
would manage the team for the next
three years, he was turned down cold.
Seemingly, the West Side steerers
can't profit by the mistakes OF other
organized big wigs last winter.
They won't gamble with little of
their money, and the outlook for
anything better than a fourth place
team next season is dark.
Heinie Zim is another athlete who
is causing the Cubs some worry. He
blew into the offices yesterday and
demanded that all the fines assessed
against him during the summer be
rescinded. He had made the same
demand before, and Thomas told him
to see Manager O'Day.
For some reason, Zim couldn't get
in touch with Hank, so he gave his
Ultimatum directly to headquarters
yesterday. After a wordy war, in
which Tim was not careful of his
language, he stormed out of the Of
flee with a threat to desert the team
if the coin is held out on him.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-10-24

Honestly, Zim is only partly right.
Twice during the summer he drew
the gate for throwing a ball into the
gTandstand. That was just pure GUS
sedness and he deserved a fine.
A few times he really was put out
because of too jealous efforts to win
games. If the Cub bosses should
split the difference with Zim diplo-
matte relations could be resumed and
both sides would be getting a square
deal.
President James Gilmore of the
Federal League was reelected yes
terday for a five-year term and was
also made treasurer of the Organi-
zation. Lloyd Rickert of st. Louis
was reelected secretary.
The Feds had a long session be-
hind closed doors and at it's close
there seemed to be perfect harmony
between the magnates. President
Madison of Kansas City retained his
franchise, though there was a move
ment to shift he club to an eastern
city. The shift may follow later, and
if it does Madison will be compen-
stated for his labor and coin in boil
steering up the western end of the new
league.
All of the Federal heads denied
there was a peace movement on foot,
and the Wards and Weeghman de-
MED they had any intention of pUr-
chasing the Yanks and Cubs, respec-
lively, unless ample provision was
made for every man in any way con-
nected with the Federal League.
Even the umpires will be looked
out for and must be taken care of by
organized baseball if peace comes.
Gilmore reiterated his statement
that the Feds were not hunting
peace. But the general trend of the
remarks of all the bosses indicated
that peace would not be given a swift

Property Damage

Property damage in Nuervo Laredo
will reach 100000 Among the build
ings destroyed were the United States
consulate, municipal building, post
office, theatre, the flour mill, one of
the largest in this section of the
Southwest: the railroad shops of the
Mexican National Railway and other
smaller structures.
Late tonight the fire was still burn
ing, with no chance that it would be
controlled until everything had been
wiped out. Kerosene and other com
bustibles, literally used, fed the flames,
which otherwise would not have been
extensive owing to the adobe construc-
ton largely used.
Mexicans Shot

resulted in the death of two men en-
gagged in the undertaking. One Next

the foot and wagon bridge. Another

departed, order was restored in Laredo,

Not Prepared Yet
To Invade Mexico
Says Sec. Garrison

Washington, April 24.-"We
are not prepared to invade
Mexico under present condi-

This was Secretary Garrison's
explanation of the war depart
nent's refusal to authorize
Gen. Bliss to seize the interna-
tional bridges at Laredo, FL
Paso and other points on the
Rio Grande. In the secretary's
opinion, such an invasion of
Mexico would be an act of war

limited by the phrase "under
present conditions"

Rebel Cause Threatened

Carranza was told that by assuming
a hostile attitude he would draw all
Mexico into a war; Huerta would be
perpetuated and the Constitutionalist
cause would be lost in the melee.
Four countries, including France and
spain. came forward with inquiries
about possible means of mediation be-
tween the Huerta government and the
United States, but Secretary Bryan
said these advances could not be de-
scribed as "overtures'' and he was
inclined to attach little Importance to
them. The position of the American
government is firm, that an offence
against its dignity and national honor
has been committed and that repara-
ton must be made.
Hold Only Munitions of War
Signs of uneasiness abroad because
the United States, though not having
declared a blockade or state of war,
is exercising jurisdiction at Vera Cruz

would be made to interfere with the
