Those two. both stars last year were
the property OF the Boston National

1913. having quit the national pastime
In a hum the previous season. At the
beginning of this season he was i'm
portuned by George Stallings, the
Braves manager. to Join the club.
Rarfden. though. caught the majority
OF Boston's games last wear and was
ranked as one of the best receivers in
the National League.
During last winter Federal League
agents WHISPERED offers into the ears
Of both Campbell and Rariden. They
listened and began to fall. as the Fed
agent named sums much in excess Of
the salaries thew were receiving at
Boston.
Boston last season was down and

the worlds series money. And the
prospects for 1914 were not much
brighter at the time the new leagues

The British embassy here today is
sued the following statement on the
instructions from the foreign Office:
Currency is being given to stories
emanating from German sources Of ut
terances unfavorab1e to the British
case by ex-ca binet ministers. labor
members and others in England. These
statements are probably largely based
on a speech which Mr.. Burns was al
legged to have made, but which was an
entire fabrication invented in Ger
many.
ANY labor members and others who
may have suggested that it would have
been better for this country to remain
neutral did SO as private persons ana
not as representing any party.
Arthur Henderson,. now chairmaN
of the labor party. has made strong
speech in support of the government.
w. Cook spoke equally strong in a
similar sense at Mr.. Churchilfs meet
ing on the 11th and the parliamentary
committee of the trade union congress
issued a manifesto September ap-
proving the manner in which the labor
party had responded to the appeal
made to all political parties to give
their cooperation in securing the en-

The protest was in the form of dis

fairs to the French ambassador. 1t
read:
Bordeaux. September 20, 1914.
Without the possibility of even the
shadow OF military necessity being
invoked, and for the mere pleasure OF
causing destruction, the German troops
have submitted the Cathedral OF

this famous basilica is nothing but a
heap of ruins.
cit is duty of the government OF

MAY HEED THE PRESIDENT
Congress Likely to Pass Alaska Coal
Leasing Bill Before Ad-
journment.

Upon request of President Wilson the
democrats in Congress will attempt to
include the Alaska coal leasing bill in
their program Of legislation to go
through before this session adjourns.
Senator Simmons was in conference
with the President today and learned
of the Presidents wish to have this
bill made part of the certain legis1a-
tive program. The President regards
the bill as an emergency one owing to
the situation in Alaska as to COAL
With winter at hand a shortage OF
coal is threatened in Alaska because
of inability to get all the coal that is
needed from British Columbia. The
European war is partly responsible for
this.
Senator Simmons informed the Presi-
dent as to the legislative status at
this time He believes that IT is pos
sible to get the rivers and harbors bill
out of the way in three or four days
and then the Alaska bill will be al
lowed to come up. Mr.. Simmons has
had some informal talks with Senator
Burton. who is opposing the rivers
and harbors bill. and the two hope to
bring about concessions that will let
the bill go through.

.LASSON PEAK VOLCANO
AGAIN BURSTS FORTH
Explodes in Sharp Thunderclap and
Rocks Houses Nine Miles
Distant.

REDDING, Cal, September 21.-After
night of muttering and rumbling.
Lasson peak exploded today in a sharp
thunderclap. which rocked the houses
at Macomber Flat. distant nine miles
from the mountain.
The eruption today is the forty
eighth since the prehistoric volcano
awoke to life May 80. and the first that
has been accompanied by an EARTH
quake.
At the time the shock was felt-3
o'clock in the morning-the activities
of the mountain were not pronounced
enough to make themselves visible
from a distance, but at 6 o'clock a
vast volume of sulphurous. ash-laden
smoke and steam was seen pouring
from a fssure one mile below the
older vents.
The mountain now has four craters-
the ancient one, still sealed: the new
main crater. adjacent: a third crater
formed by the eruptions of the last
three weeks not far below the main
crater, and the f1ssure blown open
today.
Twice yesterday the new craters
spouted clouds of smoke, but today
they were inactive, while the lower
vent was furiously busy. Smoke and
floating ashes veiled the entire noun
tainside.
