National League Head Ad- mits Federal Representa- tives Met National Mag mates; Landis Decision Will Be a Factor
rRepublloan A. F. Leased wlrs1

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-The annual meeting of the National league here today developed the fact that active negotiations are again in progress for settlement of the baseball strife be- tween organized and independent baseball interests. President John K Tener, of the National league in an- sWer to numerous queries as to the truth of a report that there had been a conference between his organization and members of the Federal league. made the following formal statement:
 Certain club owners of the Nation al league yesterday met representa- tives Of the Federal league but no re- adjustment of baseball conditions can be made without the agreement of major leagues and pending the decis- ion of Judge Landis"
 Further than this President Tener refused to commit himself or the Ma tiOnal league and all the club owners of the senior league, taking their cue from their executive declined to dis cuss the report or comment upon the rumOrs of peace. Tener's reference to major leagues in his short and rather ambiguous announcement was taken to mean that such arrangements as may have been discussed at the con- ference must he sanctioned by the American league which meets in Chi cago tomorrow.
 The meeting which Tener admits was held in this city late last night and which was denied as taking place by several national and federal league club owners earlier in the day, formed a part of dinner given by President Tener to the club owners of his league. Every one Of the eight national IeaglIe club executives is said to have been present, in addition to James A. Gill more, president of the Federal league and Halry F. Sinclair, treasurer of the Newark Federals, one of the wealth fest baciscrs of tie independent league. The meeting is said to have been q continuation of the conference held in

Baseball fans will remember a pitching person named Cowan. who wandered into this vicinity last year and hurled some. He also appeared on the ball horizon like a periodic comet, having shown with certain brilliance the season before. His stay in Phoenix each time was short; he did most of his work in the copper camps al Ray and Hayden.

first and. soon it was noised about
that no more sugar was to be had,
at least for the time being. *
After while things loosened up
somewhat. Sugar was to be had at
an increase price but, with the Ger
man invasion of the principal sugar
producing provinces and the confis-
cation by them of the best crop, a sec
ond sugar panic was caused. Things
really did look serious. Most of the
sugar in France came from the Nord,
Pas-de-Calais, Aisne and Somme de-
partments and the Germans had in
vaded these. What was still worse,
three-fourths of the best seeds came
from Germany, and the other fourth
from the invaded French districts.
With little sugar on hand and appar-
emily no means Of planting more
sugar beets for a future crop, the
was dismal.
The German seed houses offered to
send the seeds through Switzerland,

according to information gathered
here, but the French refused. Then
Russia came to the front. AT the
price paid in times of peace to Ger
many, Frances ally has sent to beet
farmers here a full supply of seeds
of the same variety as the German.
The French government has taken
off the usual duty of Sc per 100
pounds on the seeds. However, the
sowing can be done only over 1OO,-
900 hectares as compared to 213,-
$50 hectares which is an average,
owing to the German occupation.
Therefore, while danger of a sugar
famine has been obviated, there must
necessarily be a comparative shortage
of the home product and foreign
countries must to some extent be de-
pended upon.
A large part Of this years beet
crop was shipped by the Kaiser's
troops to Germany and there con-

State Land and Legislation.

Much discussion has been caused
by the :Nord-Miner bill CONCERNING
the sale::of state land, especially as
it opposes directly the plan suggest
ed by State Auditor Preus. There
IS no question as to the merit of the
Preus plan and in last evenings is
sue the Duluth Herald, correct as
usual, makes the following comment:
1t was only reasonable to expect
that some such measure as the Nord-
Miner bill would be introduced in the
Legislature in opposition to the plan
of State Auditor Preus to restrict the
sale of state lands. The new measure
would take the lid completely off
such sales. on: the basis that even if
land should be sold in large quanti-
ties to spectators, the state would
have the use of the purchase price
and the incomes from. taxes, and
meanwhile the new owners would he
more likely to develop the land or
encourage it's development than is
the state. =
Such a measure as this is the
natural result of the states past DO
icy with regard to it's lands. There
has been no effort at DEVELOPMENT,
and when a homesteader settled on
his few acres and was surrounded or
all but surrounded by state land, he
found himself obliged to do all the
work and; bear all the expense Of
making a road through to the nearest
town or some already established
highway. And meanwhile the state
land lay there idle, year after year,
without even any effort at develop
ment, and in fact making the condi-
ton of the somesteader harder than
1t might otherwise have been. =,
But the state has begun to see a
great light: on this land proposition,
and in one form or another efforts
are constantly being made to facili- |
tate the development of land held by |
the state; or at least to make state |
land bear fair share of the expense
OF development of the district in |
which it is located. This movement |
IS bound to succeed, and with it's suc-
cess will come even greater advant- [
ages for settlers than exist at present.
AT the same time, such policy~i
would make Minnesota land more at
tractive than ever to spectators. and
so it is all the more advisable to safe.
guard sales so that only bona fide
holders and developers of land shall
become owners. n
There is one thing of inestimable Il
value about the Nord- Miner bill, and II
that is that it is a straight and force
full warning to the state that unless
the old haphazard and Sitting land
policy is changed, we may yet be OBJ
1ged to sit back and watch Mime II
sofa acres lie idle in the hands of
spectators, while settlers who had a
right to expect something entirely
different take out their disappoint-
ment in bitterness of spirit and
language. .~.--.---,
That there is any real merit in the
opposition to the Preus plan is due to
the character of the states land Il
policy heretofore. Unless it is will
ing to take chances on legislation
# this kind, the state, either through
constitutional amendment or by
some other means, must adopt a pro- q
