RE|CNS, SAYS BARRETT
Declares Washington Will Be Bene-
fitted Owing to War
Conditions.

Declarins-that "the slogan of Pan
Americanism is abroad from the
United States to Chile and Argentina"
John Barrett. director general of the
Pan American Union, delivered an ad-
dress yesterday afternoon before the
College Women's Club, at the Raleigh
Hotel in which he portrayed Wash
ington as the Pan-American capital,
and in which he declared that Wash
ington has an extraordinary oppor-
tunity in its history as capital by
reason of the conditions in Europe.
The European war;" Mr. Barrett
said. has developed remarkable and
ing of the capitals Of the world, which
cannot fail to react for the benefit of
this city.
Faces Unique Position.
Washington faces a unique position,
first among the capitals of the Western
hemisphere, and, secondly, among those
of the whole world, in the influence it
can exert for the peace and progress of
humanity.
Therefore, if its various organiza-
tions and its people, it's College Wom-
+,
as well as its Chamber Of Commerce,
its Board of Trade and it's other civic
societies, are up and doing they can
make Washington not alone the recog-
nfzed center of International activities
for the United States, but can give it
a new place, new recognition and a
new influence among the capitals of
Pan-America and of the world.
Says New Era Dawns.
III Washington will show proper
appreciation of the higher qualities of
Latin America and Latin Americans, a
knowledge of their history, their in
stitutions and their possibilities, and a
practical spirit of hospitality, as 1t
has shown repeatedly to Europeans
and down through Latin America from
Mexico and Cuba to Argentina and
Chile, and there will be warming OF
sympathy and interest on the part OF
the Latin Americans which will make
them enjoy a stay in this capital az
much as they have heretofore enjoyed
their holidays, vacations and days OF
travel in the great capitals of Europe
"a new Pan-American era is da aWning
The slogan of Pan-Americanism is
abroad from the United States to Chile
and Argentina. Washington, therefore
as the capital of the United States
having here in It's very midst the inter-
national organization in the form OF
the American Union belonging tc
all these countries, should make every
effort to be PanAmerican in its SYM
pathy and attitude.

 According to Miller, the Federal LeagueT's reserve clause, as shown in the affidavit of Umpire Steve Cusacz, holds 2 player for ten seasons, grant ing him five per cent increase in sal ary each year and providing that he must be notified of the exercise of the option by September 15, preceding the season in question. He quoted Presi- dent Gfln1oTe's affidavit, regarding the ten day clause in which the Federal League leader declared it u11wise and ,lnbusinesslike to contract with an un- tried player for a longer time than that
 The Killifer case was cited as an in stance where 'unclean l1ands' had been found on the part of the plaintiff and in support of the ten day clause, as- contained in the organized ball con tracts, discussed the old Lajoie case, a. suit Involving Left Russell, and the MarSans case were cited.
 Attorney Miller went over the peace negotiations of last fall to show that the Federal League tried to form an alliance with its present opponents.

CHARGES FEDS WITH HYPOCRISY
George W. Miller Concludes Argument she Side of Org anized Ball in Anti Trust Sut-Ced Instances Which Federal Leaguers Had Signed Players Under Contract Organized BaE-Dcclarcs a Temporary Injunction Would Destroy an Institution Which Had Taken Forty Years to Build.

Chicago, Jan 22-Charges of 'Hurl- clean hands, and hypocrisy were made against the Federal League today by George ". Miller. who presented what is believed will be the concluding arg
 ument on the side of organized ball in the antitrust suit brought by the Federa1s> He declared that a temp orary injunction asked by the Federals would destroy an institution which it had taken organized ball forty years to build
 In support of his charges. Miller cited instances in which he said the
 Federal Leaguers had signed players
 under contract with clubs in organized
 hall: the sections of the Federal
 League contracts, he alleged, corre- spond to the much criticized ten day reserve rule; and tfae alleged justifi- cation Of raids by the plaintiff on the
 ground that the ten day clauses in-
 validated American and National
 League contracts
 Quoting at length from the, affidavit
 of Roger Bresnahan, Miller empha-
 sized the portion where Bresnahan
 said he had been told by Federal

 of the St Louis Nationals. This, the

 charges of '-uncIean hands,
 The end of the hearing was in sight tonight. It was said that when the statement by F. r. Gates of counsel
 for the F7ederaIs had been concluded,

 would take the case. None of the at ,torneys interested would hazard a
 guess as to when a decision would be
 announced.
 Miller analysed a number of raids
 made last year on the National and
 American league teams by the F'ede- rals.
 Incidentally he read list of what p,Tported to be the salaries year by year, paid by organized ball clubs to players who since hid left it's ranks for the Federals.
 He said that Lee DTagee in 1911 had drawn s1,500: S2.300 in 1912; $S,40o i'll 1913 and $7.20o in 1914. Joe Thinkers salary, he asserted, reached $500 in his last year with the Cubs-19f2 and $10.o00 as manager and shortstop for Cincinnati in 1913.
 Mordecai Brown, according to Mil 1er's figures. drew $3.50O in 1908, $4,10O in 1909: $4,500 in 1910; $500 in 1911 and S7,000 in 1912. Even with an in 5ured leg, that partly inca,pacitated him, Brown drew a salary of $4,0o0 from the Cincinnati club, which he

FEnERALs HAVE MADE
 BIG HIT WITH PLAYERS
Now Maanates Drive Men Out of Baseball Explained by Hugh s. Full

Whether it wins or loses, the Fed eral league has made loiS hit with the 5000 Baseball players of America by it's suit to enJoln the forces Of Or ganized baseball from fofibing the players under contract with the Feds
 The F'sderalg have prepared evidence that at one time Charles Ebbetts, owner Of the Brooklyn club, had more than 24 ball players blackliated, under suspension and unable to get employ ment.
 The case of Jack Harper is one pitching for the Reds at a salary of $4,500. Tn one game he hit Frank Chance three times with pitched balls, the last one rendering Chance un- conscious. Chance accused Harper of hitting him purposely and informed the pitcher of his intention of put ting him out of the business That winter President Murphy made a trade with Cincinnati, Chance insisted upon having Harper in the trade.
 Cincinnati traded Harper to Chi cago and the Cubs offered Harper a, salary of s1,500. Chance told liar per that he had him; that he either per appealed to the commission, which declined to hear his case-and he was out of baseball, and never had been back,
 Mike Griffin, Mike Kelly and Wal ter Thornton were all driven. from baseball. So was Bob Spade.
 Jack Pfesters pitcher of the Cubs for years. was waived out of the lea sue and banished when he refused to obey orders and sign for what Mil waukee wanted him to play for about one-third his salary under his Chicago contract.
 More than 2G0 players have thus been driven out of the game
 As an illustration of the power of the owners, one spring AVeral1 Brown and Pfester. of the Cubs agreed to hold out for more salary. They agreed, to stick together. Finally Murphy gave them a. compromise in crease and they signed.
 Thc night they signed an officer of the club remarked that they would pay dearly for it
 Note what happened. Murphy prac- ticaily drove Ayerau off the team. AS soon as PheSter commenced 10 weak en through an arm injured ia pitch Ing, Murphy pushed him into the minors. and when Phester rebelled he was driven out of the game When Brown hurt a leg and it seemed he was done for as a pitcher, Murphy sent him to Louisville.
 Two clubs assured me they never Waivered claim on Brown or were asked to 60 so. Later, Bill Grayson, owner of the Louisville club. sprung q sensation by producing letters showing that Murphy sent Brown to Louisville under the condition that ne never be permitted to get back into the major lea sues.

FEDERAL LEAGUE TO
 GIVE US GOOD BALL
Agent Hugh M'kiunon Says Playing Will Be Revelation to This Terri tory.


 Agent Hugh McKinnon of the Fed eraI league in explaining why the new league will be superior to the Id one. said that some of
 The Federal agent has explained why the new league will be superior to the old one. He said that some of the players would be men who will get a salary of SG0u 2 month, and he told just how this would be done. Mr. Mckinnon says $600 as easy as Morton r. Plant says 45 cents, and the dollars roU of his tongue in such street and a silver dollar was dropped from q trolley car it would roll right up into Mir. ATcKinnon's pocket.
 According to the Federal seneralis- simo, the pocket edition or the Fed erals in this territory will be farms for the parent league. The Federal clubs will have many valuable men to dispose of at the end of the training season and as they will not want to turn the men over to the organized baseball people, they will require a farm, and the Nutmeg state and the state of the secred Codfish have long been known as good farming coun- try.
 Coming back to that $500 thing. Mr. Mckinnon said that the players who worked in the league here would not get over S200 a month and the differ ence between $200 and $500 would be made up out of the war fund of the parent organization. In this way the high-priced players will get the sal ary that is due them and the people will be able to soc them perform for two bits a throw
 MT. McKinnon was positive that the Federals would soon be int-enched and he said 8 definite statement of the circuit would be made in about two weeks. He said Springfield was sure to be in, Hartford was possible, so was New Haven, and Lowell and Lynn are two of the Massachusetts cities likely Go be represented. He also said that Worcester would not be included. Bridgeport is said to be likely to have a club in the new lea que.
 In Springfield 1t is said that the old Haznpden park grounds have been secured and a millionaire in Boston named Baxter is going to back the game in Springfield. This NIT. Sax ter. according to MT. McKinnon, is a man who likes to buck the trusts. The agent said that the league was not going to invest any large sum in fancy baseball parks, as all t1lev wanted was a regulation diamond and sufficient seating capacity for the multitude.
 My. McKinnon does not have as ey- tensiVe a vocabulary as President O'Rourl1e, who was formerly known as the Orator, but he has more to saw and is easily approached.

The Thames, TroubIed Waters.

Thames floods have for centuries past been recurring source of em- barrassmeni to those who have found themselves Tesponsi ble for the good behavior OF the river. Critics of half a century back were inclined to as- sign their cause, not only to the nlul- tipIication of locks and weirs and their misTnanagement, but to the many mills on the natural outlets ol the rivers flow. It is probable enough that the largely increased areas ot many of the islands in the stream have much to answer for today. Only last winter the -Conservancy cut away an entire archipelago below Sonnfns Lock

It served the three fold purposes. of weirs. mill dams and locks By it's agency the flow of water up stream could be regulated Following the building of the new bridge. there came continuous inun- dations at Lambeth and other low lying districts on the London side of Teddington.-Pa1l Mall Gazette.

AUTOISTS MUST NOT RACE
TO fires With APPARATUS
Buresu Of Fire Issues An Explanation
Of the Ordinance Of 1903 and
Obtains Promise of Cooperation
Of Police In Enforcing the Law

The Harrisburg Bureau of Fire, in
Its endeavor to enforce the ordinance
OF 1898 which Furnishes under a maxi
mum fine of $50, the practice of
autoists racing with fire apparatus re-
spending to alarms, to-day issued in
pamphlet form a few hints to motor
men, ehauffeurs, motorcyclists and
others who drive vehicles of any kind,
which. if obeyed, will keep the drivers
out of trouble.
Since the ever-increasing number of
automobiles on the streets hampers the
hremen, Chief Engineer Kinder has
started campaign to enforce the ordi-
nance and has instructed all the fire
apparatus drivers to report violations
immediately. He has obtained the CO.
operation of the police force, and all
OF the coppers will be instructed to be
on the lookout for violators.
Little phamplets containing a copy
OF the ordinance and the hints to driv-
ers are being printed and will be given
TO policemen and fremen who will dis
tribute them to autoists and others
who are in a position to violate the
ordinance. The hints given out by the
Bureau of Fire follows:
Don't speed your automobile and
race with the fire apparatus. 1t may
place life in jeopardy.
1T is imperative that the fire ap-
Paratus get to the scene of fire first.
The firemen will then do the rest.
Remember you are not aiding the
hremen with your presence. You are
only in the way.
:" You should never stop your ma
chine near the fire. Keep away, at least
SOO feet, if you are in the vicinity
of conflagration.
Turn to the curb and stop. Then
the fire apparatus can pass with safety.
- Never drive over the fire hose. If
you heed this warning you will save
yourself trouble and expense"
