MT. Johnson declined to say definite iy whether delay in the withdrawal of the Federal leagues suit would hold up the peace pacts being announced as signed At Cincinnati the National commission, defendant in the suit, will consult Attorney George Williams of St Louis, one of organized baseballs S counsel. To the absence of Keene Ad- iington, the Federal league attorney, was attributed failure of the third league to withdraw the suit as expect ed today.
 MT Weeghman confirmed reports that he is to get the Chicago National league club with the conclusion of peace, A meeting of directors of the Chicago FN- eral league club was held in hls office today, but what took place there was not announced.

 Using Dum-Dum Bullets

Berlin. December 20. 0.-(By wireless to Tuckeryon.)- )-"The Bulgarian govern ment," says the Overseas Agency, for the third time, has protested to the en- tente allied and neutral powers against the Anglo-French troops using dum-dum bullets and other kinds of bullets with double covers and which explode when they strike
 "The Bulgarian government says these bullets cause terrible wounds and that in most cases limbs must be amputated in order to save the lives of persons wounded by them. Macedonian hospitals are filled with such.
 The Bulgarian government declares that in future it will be compelled to make the severest reprisals against Brit ish and French prisoners in order to ob- tain respect for international law"

Figures show as plainly as anything else the difference in the styles of pitch ing used by Christy Mathewson when he was king of hurers and Grover Alexan- der who is king now.
 Matty used to let batters hit Alec keeps them from hitting.
 Matty never worked hard until he got into pinch. He let batters crack the ball when the sacks were empty or when two were out. He refused to use up his strength and energy when not in danger of being scored against He relied on his fielders.
 Alec works near top speed nearly all the time. He tightens up when he gets into hole, but works harder all through a game than Matty used to work
 The official averages, just issued, show Alec allowed 253 hits in the 376 innings

Chicago Federals, arriving here today from New York, declared a speedy set tlement of baseball difficulties was in sight
 Everything is settled between organ ized baseball and the Federal league" said MT. Weeghman, looking toward a peace agreement. If we do not come to- sether now, we never will. The end hope will come tomorrow at Cincinnati, when, if nothing unlocked for happens, the deal will be closed
 T will buy the Cubs and they will play on the North Side at the Federal park, and Joe Tinker will he the man ager. So far as I know now. no one but the present stockholders of the Fed eral league club will be associated with me. Of course this all depends on what happens at Cincinnati"
 MT, Weeghman said that it was the plan of the conference to appoint a com mittee to visit Judge Landis and ascer- tain whether the signing of a peace pact would offend the judge or render the participants liable for contempt of court
 "The suit will not be withdrawn until the peace pact is signed and sealed, said MT. Weeghman, ''and the committee which is to visit Judge Landis will ask him to withhold his decision pending the outcome of the Cincinnati meeting.'

AGAINST
CARELESSNESS

On this fact is based the wide
forceful campaign having as
it's motto, "Safety First" This warn
ing sign is carried on autos, trolley
cars,and other vehicles on congested
streets, and is conspicuously post
ed about railway stations, and now is
beginning to be seen on country roads.
The need of such reminder may be
greater in the city than in the country,
but it is a difference in degree, not
kind. 1t is we'll to post the highways
at railroad crossings, dangerous turns
or steep hills, but itwould be a good
investment to nail such a sign at the
entrance to the barn and the bull pen,
over the gasoline stove, at the wind
mill tower, and on the threshers and
s%hredders and balers. The hazards of
farm life are many and all the more
dangerous because they are varied
With the introduction Of more power
in farming operations, the danger is
increased, and the operator stands
charge with greater care.

INJUNCTION
PROCEEDINGS
NOT LEGAL

Fargo, y. H., Sept. 2.-ls the action
that has been started by Attorney
General Lindc, to stop the railroads
of the state from transporting liquor
into North Dakota by injunction, a
legal remedy?
That is the question that has been
raised by W. G. Porter, of Aberdeen,
S. d.. solicitor for the Milwaukee rail
road. The right of the state to main
tain such an action is being argued
before Judge Chas. +. Amidon today.
Mr.. Porter maintains that the proper
method Of procedure would have been
to have secured indictments against
agents of the company, if they have
been making shipments into the state
that are illegal.
1t is the contention of the Milwau-
kee, as argued by Mr.. Porter this
morning, that the cases involved in
this action do not constitute a nuisance
as prescribed by the North Dakota
statute.
Mr.. Murphy, Of counsel for the state
argued this afternoon that ever if the
statute did not expressly define such
cases as those under which the in
junction was sought, that they consti-
tuted a commo nuisance and there
fore an injunction should be granted.
The whole question seems to hinge
on this point.
The case is the first of the famous
injunction cases brought by Attorney
General Linde, in the effort to bar
liquor from North Dakota by enjoin-
ing the railroads from maintaining
what is alleged to be a common nui-
sance.
The state is beinkgrepresented by
Attorney Henry J. Linde and his as
sistants, Francis j. Murphy, of Bis
marck, ad Attorney Bitzung, of Man
dan. In their arguments they have
! maintained that it was a nuisance ir
bringig liqour into the state that
reached blind piggers and that an in
junction was a more preferable way OF
r%emedying the defect than an indict,

ment of the company and its agents.
There are three other cases pending,
all of a similar nature. They are
against the Great Northern, the Nor
thern Pacific and the 500. ]. l.. Err
dali, Of Minneapolis, general solicitor
for the 500, and Attorneys Watson &
Young, of this city for the Great Nor
them and Northern Pacific, will argue
the coming cases. The action in the
above cases will depend largely on the
action taken by the Judge in the case
nov being argued.
The arguments in the present case
will probably be completed some time
this evening.

No signs to point the way
Except a kiss, a memory,
A sigh, a sprig of rosemary
These lead to Yesterday!
What mean to-morrow's unborn hops,
The fragrance of To-day,
When once my hearts desire and need
Is for the dim, sweet paths that lead
me into yesterday.
