BIG LEAGUE TEAMS
MAY GO ON STRIKE
Players Fraternity Issues UltI-
matun to Commission

New York, July 21-A strike OF base
ball players in the American and Ma
tional leagues may result from an ulti-
matum Forwarded to the National
Commission by David l.. Fultz, presi-
dent OF the Players Fraternity.
Mr.. Fultz, it is said, mailed orders
for a walkout of players in both the
major leagues tomorrow, uroviding the
commission by that time had not re-
scinded it's ruling in the case of Clar-
ence o. Kraft, player, who, accord
ing TO Fultz, must draw salary from
the Newark club, of the International
league, instead of from the Nashville
club, of the Southern association.
1t may be said that the commission,
composed of August Hermann, Ban
Johnson and Governor John X. Tener,
of Pennsylvania, will refuse to recog-
nize the fraternity's ultimatum, but it
is barely possible that Kraft may be
purchased from Nashville by a major
league club, a move that would clear
the present cloudy atmosphere.
Ban Johnson, boss of the American
league, however, is prepared for a
fight to a finish He said that he was
eager for the issue. He declared that
If the American league players went
on strike every ball ground in his cir
cult would be closed, all salaries
would be stopped and the striking
players would be heavily fined.

Etfie was of very romantic tenn

what was occupying her mind to her

from the girls friends. Certain school,
mates of Elites told Mrs. Stanford
that Effie was talking about lover.
He was tall and slender. with fine,
large brown eyes and black, curly hair.
His age was about nineteen. His name
was Rudolf St Clair. The informant

lover, but that he was creature of he:

Eftie said that she was used to meet
ing this lover after school of an after

Puerto Mexico, July 81. - General
Huerta shrugged his shoulders and
smiled contemptuously at the idea
that the force of 500 Constitutionalists
known to be a short distance from
here would dare to attack the city.
The military companions of the fu-
gitive former president, however, did
not display the same degree OF CONN
dence, and an extended line OF out
posts was maintained, which prevent
ed the Constitutionalists from ap-
preaching nearer.
Though agents of the rebels are re-
ported to have followed Huerta with
the intention of assassinating him,
the exile showed no trace of any break
In the iron nerve that has characterlz-
ed his every move since his rise to
power.
Now that means of getting away
from Mexican territory have been ar
ranged there is a marked change In
the bearing of all the fugitives. The
little steamship Mexico has been en-
Kaxed to carry Huerta and his family
away.
Generals Huerta and Banquet, &C.

sail on the German cruiser Dresden.
The others will go on the Mexico.
The delay in the departure is due
to the unwillingness of the govern
ment to allow Huerta to use the Next

SAY TRAFFIC IS DIVERTED
Senate investigates Charge That
Competition Is Stifled and Price
Boosted.

Washington, uly 21.-Charges that
the Pennsylvania railroad system and
its allied lines have bottled up SOUTH
ern coal fields in the interest OF the
coal trust" were up for investigation
by subcommittee of the senate
naval affairs committee.
BENJAMIN l.. Dulaney, Of Bristol,
Tenn, who made the allegations, is
connected with coal interests in upper
Tennessee.
Other charges are that the South
ern railway and other lines, at the be-
hest of the coal trust" divert to Nor
folk, New York and other middle At
lantic ports, shipments of coal which
should go to Charleston and other
ports south.
Mr.. Dulaney declared the Southern
railway had spent SIS, 100000 for feed
ers in Tennessee, Kentucky and Vlr'
ginia, tapping rich coal fields, but had
made discriminating rates because of
"coal trust influence"
The hearing was on Senator Till
mans resolution for an investigation
of the high price of coal in the south,
including the government navy yards
at Charleston and Pensacola.
That George F. Baker, George F.
Baker, Jr., Ebert H. Gary and Adrian
Iselin, Jr., conspired to prevent the
south from obtaining coal at fair
prices, was charged by Dulaney.
these men," said Dulaney, "vir-
tually control the southern railways.
They hold the controlling interests in
the Pennsylvania coal field, and it is
to their advantage to fix the price of
coal in the south as high as possible
so that anyone south of Virginia will
have to buy coal from Virginia, or Vir-
ginia coal coming by way of Norfolk
and the coastwise water route instead
of directly by rail from the mines.
"These men are trying to stifle
competition and to compel the navy to
buy at higher rates. They are trying
to close all the coal ports of the south
and they are succeeding very well.
"Some of the subsidiary roads Of
the Southern railway are used not for
carrying coal, but for carrying stocks
and bonds" asserted the witness.
"The Southern railway cannot justify
the purchase of these small roads ex-
cept for the avowed purpose of tying
up the coal market of the SOUTH
Dulaney then stated that 100000
tons of coal are shipped south every
year from Pennsylvania, and that the
south is therefore forced to buy from
Pennsylvania what it has at home in
abundance. All the coal ports south
of Cape Hateras are closed to the
southern coal trade" Dulaney cob
tinued.
