KANSAS CITY FEDERALS
FIGHTING FOR FRANCHISE

CHICAGO. March g. Argument
was begun to-day on n motion to dis
solve the temporary injunction issued
by the Circuit Court recently restrain
ing the Federal League from trans
fsring the Kansas City Club franchise
from Kansas City to Newark. N. j.
I'VE gave the Kansas City Club
every opportunity to protect Its fran
chise," said +. r. Gates, Federal
League counsel. 1T was agreed that
the club should raise 100000 by Dec.
10. II 1t had raised this money 1t
could have redeemed the franchise.
This Il failed to do and the league,
In order TO protect the interests Of its
other seven units, looked around for
a responsible person to take the
franchise"
John M. Zane. counsel for the Kan
sas City Club, argued that In dis
franchising the Kansas City Club the
rules Of the League were not compiled
with.
"The action which put out the Kan
sas City Club" said Mr.. Zane, was
the action of an executive committee
and not the action of the League it.
self The bylaws provide that the
directors as a body cannot delegate
authority Of this Importance. The
executive committee consisted prin-
cipally Of President Gilmore and the
action was not an expression Of the
Federal League"

WILSON WILL MAKE
 NEW APPOINTMENTS

Washington, January 2s.-Indications that difficulties between the President and the Senate over appointments would be adjusted soon were evident tonight in persistent reports that the President would make other nominations for posi- tions now filled by men whose nomina- tions have been rejected. At the White House it was said no definite decision had been reached on this question.
 In connection with the Missouri situa- ton it was reported that the President was considering Robert l.. Gregory for postmaster at Kansas City in place of w. M. Collins and shannon Douglas as marshal in place of Ewing Bland, Jr. The nominations of both Collins and Bland have been rejected, but they are serving under recess appointments.
