League Dy the Braves ana the price
was $4,000. Little Alex had been in
the big tent before with the White |
Sox and slipped back because he did |
not take baseball seriously.
There was some doubt about the |
wisdom of, the Brave ownership in
paying such bunch of coin for him.
But his work in the third league, and |
most of it has been against pitchers
who were good in the two older cir
cults, proves he would have been
worth all the money, and more.
In his last five games on the North |
Side Zwilling has poled IA hits. His
average, already well over the 300
mark, has embed materially. And a |
large proportion of the wallops have |
been for extra bases. His three yes
terday included brace of doubles.
ZWiIling" would have made good |
with any team in any league. He |
swings naturally and meets the ball |
squarely. And he is paying strict at
tention to his work. In the field and |
on the bases he is a wide-awake |
young man, !
Some of Tinker's young pitchers
are lucky fellows. They are learning |
the business under the most advan-
tageous conditions. For they have the
backing of a strong hitting club,
which has the faculty of punching its |
wallops where the most results will |
be secured for the run column.
These fellows can be left in there to |
take their medicine if the enemy is
swatting, as Tinker feels his hired
men will ultimately bat out a victory.
Such assistance fills the younger
pitchers with confidence, and already
Irwin LANCE is developing into a real
HEAVIER. A good share of his success
is due to the strong team back of him,
and the confident feeling his mates
have given him is just as valuable
as the runs provided.

ON
EQUAL RIGHTS
NEAR SUFFRAGE
RES LUTIONS

Washington, March 24.-Senator
Thomas of Colorado, chairman of the
Senate committee of Woman Suffrage,
assured suffragist leaders today that
his committee would take up for con-
sideration in the near future the Bris-
tow and Shafroth resolutions, intro
duced last week after the defeat of
the resolution providing for submits
sion of Constitutional amendment ex-
tending suffrage to women.
Leaders of the woman suffrage
movement had asked the Senator for
q hearing, but this he said today would
not be necessary as the committee is
thoroughly informed on the subject.
The Bristow resolution is identical
with the Chamberlain amendment, de-
as favOrs this over the Shafroth
amendment, which Proposes that suf-
frage be granted to women in any
state whenever it is approved by a
majority after the subject has been
submitted to the electorate on petition
of eight per cent. of the voters of the
state.
THE Bristow resolution" said Sem
ator Thomas. lis identical with the
recently defeated constitutional amend
ment and in my judgement, is the
only one to be reported favorable to
the Senate. 1t cannot be improved on,
either phraseology or purpose"

Little Chance to Observe
Strategy of Torreon Battle

Washington, March 24.-With the
beginning of actual battle on a com
paratively large scale in central Mex
leo, army officers here find themselves
deprived of the much desired oppor-
tunity to study the features of the
campaign through trained military OBJ
servers on the field. Since political
recognition has not been accorded by
the United States to either Federals
or Constitutionalists, there is no way
by which American officers might be
detailed to witness engagements as in
ordinary ways.
There has been no exhibition of any
real strategy at any time in this south
ern campaign, or, indeed, since the be-
ginning of the present revolution, in
the opinion of general staff officers.
The nearest approach to anything of
that kind may be developed if Gen.
Benevides with his Constitutional
forces in the turning movement which
he is reported to have undertaken by
swinging in from the east below Tor
reon to cut off a retreat of the Fed
erals toward the Mexican capital, in
the event they are driven out of Tor
reon by Gen. Villas onslaughts.
The Ainey resolution calling on the
President for information regarding
the protection of the lives and prop
erty of foreigners in Mexico probably
will come up in the House tomorrow.

Martial Law Declared in
DepeW, New Y0rk-SOldierS
Disperse Strikers Gatherings

Depew. N. Y, March 2L-This village
was placed under martial law tonight
although the day had been one of the
quietest since the strike at the Gould
Coupler Works began two months ago.
The order was issued by Col. Charles j.
Wolf of the 74th Regiment at o'clock.
Crowds of strikers and their sympathiz-
ers who had gathered on corners were
dispersed and the soldiers were under
orders to drive men from saloons when
ever they thought trouble was brewing.
General Samuel NJ. WEIGH, Maj. George
c. Diehl and Lieut.. William Gardner of
the Fourth Brigade staff, spent several
hours in conference with Col. Wolf and
his staff at the office of the coupler COM
pany before martial law was established.
Rumors that an organization of foreign
ers was shipping arms and ammunition
to the foreign strikers had considerable
to do with the step. 1t was feared most
of the foreign residents of the village
were already armed and that an outbreak
If one occurred would be extremely Sc
rious.
The only sign of demonstration today
was at the time when a lieutenant in
command of a squad had difficulty in
breaking up a small crowd. At the COM
mand to charge with fixed bayonets the
group broke and fed.

Democrats w airy of
Belfast Politician
May Attempt Gust
ing Delega tes
Declare Him Not a Democrat
And Traitor 10 the Party

Belfast, Me-, March 24.-It is SAID
here that Hon. Edgar F. Hanson, once
the mayor of the city of Belfast and
his followers, will be storm center
at the Democratic State convention at
Portland's city hall next Thursday. An
effort it is said, will be made to pre-
vent Mr.. Hanson and some of the del
egates from the city of Belfast from
participating in the convention, al
though they were elected in the Dem
ocratic caucus held in that city last
Saturday evening.
Those who don't want Mr.. Hanson
to have a word to say as to the plat
form of the Maine Democracy, declare
that he is no longer member OF the
party, that by his own admission ne
supported Hon. John A. Peters, the
Republican nominee in the congress
sional fight last fall, and that In the
Belfast municipal election this spring
he was opposed to the Democratic
nominee for mayor, ex-Bank Commas
sioner Robert f. Dunton.
And then again the antl-Hansoh
Democrats aver that he is organizing
a new party, Woodrow Wilson party,
although they claim that the 5l,eoO or
so men in Maine who voted for Wood
row Wilson electors last November are
charter members of the Wilson party,
or at least they ought to be. The anti
Hanson Democrats also claim That a
few of the delegates chosen at the
Belfast caucus are regularly enrolled
as Republicans, and therefore have
no right to deliberate in a Demo-
cratic convention.
Should an attempt be made to Gust
the Belfast delegates from the con-
yention of the Democrats, there is sure
to be some fireworks as Mr.. Hanson
has a very good vocabulary. But Just
the same there is feeling of hostil-
itv among some of the Democrats of
the Third District against the former
MAYOR of Belfast.

sion OF the steam whaier Herman,
which left San Francisco today for the
North. The Canadian government is
sending the whaler to the relief of the

/ Toxic. March 24.-The resignation OF
fbe Japanese cabinet today has given
rise to considerable discussion in po-
IiticaI circles in Japan. The radicals
consider the disappearance of Admiral
Count Gombei Yamamoto's cabinet as
a blow to the system of clan govern
nient and they are fighting the inf1u-
ence of the old Conservative bureau
cratic groups represented by the sat
suma and Choshu factions IN behalf
of what they term truer constitu-
tional regime. The Emperor TO-DAY
conferred with a number of the elder
statesmen and with the Maquis Salon
II, former premier. The view is gen.
orally expressed that either the Mar
quis Satonji or Raron Takaaki kato'
a former foreign minister, will be ask
ed to form the new cabinet.
