Macknac Island, Mich, July 22-The final session of the conference of the American peace centenary committee opened with a brief recital by the hotel orchestra, harmonious as music, but dis tlnctly discordant to the dominant note of the conference, which was peace. In the absence of instructions. the musicians gave the battle hymn of the republic, Marching Through Georgia and Dixie with the greatest martial en- thusiasm The delegates took it with a smile. although there was no applause Adjournment was taken subject to the call of the executive committee, which ex- pected to call meeting of its members at Niagara Falls in September or October
 A special resolution commenting the eff forts of President Taft and President Will son to attain the settlement of interna- tional differences by arbitration was adopted
 A feature of the celebration, which has been arranged by the centenary commit tee, will be a banquet at Ghent Belgium, January 6. 1915 At the banquet there will be the same menu and the same toasts as at the banquet, 100 years before, With which the signing of the treaty of Ghent, automatically terminating the war of 1872. was celebrated
 The British celebration will begin next chrlstmas eve with church services throughout the United Kingdom, and will continue for some weeks. The first for maj observance in United States will take place February 14 1915. Along the Canadian border the celebrations will take place during the summer of 1915.

 In this connection A1r. McReynolds stated that criminal prosecutions had all ways been in mind and that there had never been ''the slightest hope that par ties guilty of criminal violations of the law would escape.

The demand of the gov ernment in connection with the Boston and Maine stock. he declared was a change in the original agreement which would have entailed on the company "a very large pecuniary loss and at the same time increase enormously the difficulty of reorganizing the Boston and Maine railroad"

Fly REUBEN \. LEWIS

Following In the wake of LaRue Kirby, First Baseman Mickey Coyle of the Chat tanooga club will hurdle to the Federal league. The Lookout first-sacker will jump to the Indianapolis club within the next few days. While he has not an nounced the fact to Manager Harry Nc Cormick Coyle has reached a definite decision and has arranged terms with the Indianapolis Feds.
 Kirbys hurdle was lacking in diplomacy. but not so with Coyle. He has announced that he will give the Chattanooga club five days notice of his intention, for the Chattanooga club could dispose of him with five days of grace. In his humble opinion, Coyle believes that others will follow him to the new league and that next season 20 players, now cavorting in the Southern, will hold positions in the Federals
 Pm going to the Indianapolis club in the Federal eague,' Coyle, stated last night While I haven't given the Chat tanooga club notice, intend to real soon. when the opportunity presents itself. After five days notice has been given, l will leave the club. In this manner injunc- tlons will be avoided if they should care to take these measures. The reason is obvious. l can make more money''
 When asked whether he believed that others would follow Kirby to the Fed erals Coyle replied : in the affirmative. At least 20 players in the Southern league this year will be in the Federal next year know of only one who will go there before the season is closed here There are lots of men in this league who are just as good as some drawing salaries in the majors. l understand that a num- Der have agreed to join the Federal league teams next season.

MINORITY REPORT WILL RECOMMEND
 SEATING OF JONES

Washington. July 22.-Four democratic members of the Senate banking and cur rency committee who are supporting Thomas D. Jones' one of President Will sons nominees for the federal reserve board, practically had completed their report on the nomination tonight and it probably will be submitted to the Senate tomorrow. The majority of the commit tee already has reported adversely.
 Nothing had been heard tonight from Senator O'Gorman of New York, who was said to have been in conference with Paul M. Warburg, another nominee for the board, relative to the latter's ap- pearance before the committee.
 Senator Blair Lee of Maryland one of the committeeman supporting MT. Jones. made public an individual report that he will submit to the Senate. He referred to the majority report as "un- fair in several particulars and de- clared:
 That the majority of the committee are bent on extreme measures, that their attitude Is dangerous one towards both the peace and industry of the country is evident from their criticism of this nominee'
 Referring to MT. Jones' relations with the Harvester company, Senator Lee as serted:
 Every act of MT. Jones in connection With that company seems to have been entirely proper. He expressly states that he is not in sympathy with these big con solicitations and that he is in thorough accord with President Wilson's policy in destroying monopoly
 Apparently MT. Jones and others with him have restrained monopoly from the inside, which should commend him"

Having signed LaRue Kirby to a Fed eral league contract in Mobile, Scout Campbell. representing the insurgent cir cuit is sweeping upon Birmingham. It was his intention to journey direct from Mobile to Birmingham to seek interviews with the stars of the Barons and further pickering with the Lookouts. He is due to arrive today
 It is not believed that a single Bir- mingham ball player will jump their con- tracts to join the Federals. Their es- teem for Rick Woodward, the owner, and Carlton Molesworth the manager, is too high As one Baron expressed himself last night Tt would take something more than money to make me break con- tract with Rick Woodward and Moles- worth. l have signed a contract to play the season out and l would go to ex- treme pecuniary loss rather than disap- point him. Although you hear that the player Is out for the money only, it is all mistake. l don't believe that single player would leave Woodward if the Federals offered round, substantial sums."
 It Is not believed that Pete Knisely would listen to the F'ederals. Mickey Coyle stated that he believed Scout Camp bell would seek an interview with the DutcHiiiail ana attempt 10 lure h1m to the Feds. But Knisely is assured of a position in the National league next sea son and 1t Is not believed that he will spurn the chance.
 While it is to be doubted that the in- surgents would make substantial offers to many others, Birmingham has several players who would do well in the Fed eral circuit. Mcdonald refused an offer with the St. Louis club in the spring. Some of the pitchers might be sought.
 But, anyway, Scout Campbell is on his way.
