MAGNATEs IN SESSION.
Discuss Twenty-one Player Rule
Which Is Modified.

New York, July 13.-The National
League found a way, at it's meeting
Yesterday to get around the twenty
one player limit which has caused
nouch dissatisfaction among several Of
the clubs this season. Hereafter the
,ea eua viii keep a disabled" list
which proyides that an injured play
er can be kept out of the game Ut
least ten days, and an extra player
substituted for him.
BY this arrangement the clubs can
carry extra players regardless of the
twerlty-on player limit. The request
to have a players name transferred
fon the active to the disabled" list
shall be certified to the President of
the league by the President Of the en-
ploying club within forty eight hours
after the injury occurs, and such re-
quest shall state the nature of the
players disability and when and
where incurred.
A player placed on the disabled"
list will not be allowed to participate
in championship game for at least
ten days, including the day of his in
jury. During such period, however.
the player will be allowed to act as
coacher. The names of all players
certified as disabled shall be officially
bulletined to the club Presidents.
Yesterdays meeting was held in the
leagues new headquarters, where all
the league conclaves will be held
hereafter. All the clubs were repre-
scented, and the baseball situation was
discussed.
The Federal League came in for
some discussion, but President Tener
announced that none of the club own
ers were worrying about the independ-
ent organization. It was announced
that hereafter the league will hold
monthly meetings until the end of the
season.
While the attendance in some of
the cities this season, has not been
UP to other years, the club owners
blame this condition on the bad
weather and not on the competition of
the new league.
President Tener stated that all the
clubs were satisfied with their flnan-
cial condition. Yesterdays meeting
was not called for the purpose of dis
cussing the seasons financial situa-
ton, President Tener announced.
Routine matters were discussed, and
President Ebbets of BROOKLYN, i'm
formed the other club owners that
the Dodgers were on their way to a
pennant, and he invited all of them
to be sure and come to the worlds
series when it is played at Ebbets
Field.
Those who attended the meeting
yesterday were James e. Gaffney and
Robert H. Davis of the Boston club;

TORPEDO nets FOR
U. 5. BATTLESHIPS
Government 4 Buys Same Type as.

saF - t
Washington, July 1S.-For expert
/ mental purposes the navy department
has purchased several torpedo nets to
hang around hattleships and protect
them from torpedo attack.
Secretary Daniels said today these
were of the same type as those en-
ployed by European navies. The ex-
periments are now going on with the
nets aboard one Of the battle fleet.
Similar experiments made some time
ago produced no very definite results,
but navy officials hope to be able to
SO improve the nets as to reduce the
dangers from submarines
Composed or Wire Links.
The nets are composed Of wire
links and high speed modern tor
pedoes have torn their way through
them in previous tests. The British
battleship Triumph, sunk by tor
pedo in the Dardanel1es, is said to
have. had nets out which were pene-
trated
Preparations to equip battleships
with nets were made when the last

torpedo can get home.
Ships Must Be At Anchor.
Some officers while not confident Of
the success of the net experimen t, be-
lieve it wise to leave no stone unturr,-
ed in an effort to protect battleships
from submarines. It is said that nets
are no use except to ships at anchor
ass while under way. the dragging
weight would hold the most power
full battleships down to a speed OF less
than ten knots an hour. The British
Navy has always been equipped with
nets, but the present tendency, it IS
said, is to discard them.

Truckee-Carson Project. AS Nevada
now knows through letter from the
secretary of the interior to Senator
Newlands and Senator Pittman, this
subject is to be fully inquired into by
the reclamation service. The people
of Nevada may rest fully assured that
both senator's have done and will con-
tinue to do everything that their wis
dom and experience can suggest to
hasten the carrying out of reclama-
ton work here, as we'll as elsewhere
in Nevada.
Not less important in its way. per-
haps,. is the clearing up of title to
lands around Elko and other cities
in Nevada on the railroad right Of
way, which have been in the pos
session of private persons for many
years. Senators Nawlands and Pitt
man have been assiduous in trying to
get final action on bill clearing up
title to such lands. An agreement
was made whereby Speaker Clark was
to recognize Representative Kitchin
for the purpose of calling up this bill
and it was understood that unless the
minority leader Mr.. Mann, should OBJ
ject, the bill would go through. This
is being written just before the close
of the session and the result is not
known, but it will be known to the
people of Nevada before this can ap-
pear in print The suspicion of some
anti-railroad men that the Southern
Pacific company might in some way
profit by the passage of the bill has
been the principal obstacle In the way
of its passage, and Senator Pittman,
as well as Senator Newlands, have
been very busy in an attempt to dis
abuse the minds of these men of their
error.

From friends Of many of those pres

ball Young in Lola" last night, who
failed to see this wonderful produc.
ton, we have received urgent requests
to present this film again In order that
all who care to witness real art in
motion pictures might enjoy a merit
orious picture. Although 1t means a
double expense to use to present the
great World films more than one day,
we have sufficient confidence in the
appreciation OF the people of this city
for things that are good, to prompt
us to repeat the picture. We will
therefore give another performance of
Lola" tonight only in response to re-
quests from our many patrons. Lola"
is a vehicle unsurpassed for the pre-
sentation of Clara Kimball Young's
many charms. 1t presents n double
characterization that tests the great
stars dramatic ability thoroughly.
The entire production is complete in
artistic development; and regardless
of various opinions advanced by peo-
pie who pretend to know, Clara KIM
ball Young holds her place today
among the very greatest and most
beautiful of motion picture stars.

WASHINGTON, March 8.-Three

state commerce, tried to get up the
amendment to the interstate COM
merce act which would add to the ef-
ficiency of the interstate commission
by allowing 1t to examine the CORE

and each time objection was made.
The objectors were Senators Smoot,
Root and Oliver. AS unanimous con-
sent was necessary to permit the
amendment to be considered, the re.
suit was to block this needed legisla.
ton for this session.
The amendment was desired by the
Interstate commerce commission be-
cause of the court decision in the
Louisville and Nashville case, that
the law does not cover the examina-
ton of correspondence. 1t had here
tofore been the practice of the COM
mission to examine correspondence
in connection with other records of

Senator Newlands, in trying to get up

not authorize inquisitions as to cor
respondence of a corporation"
Continuing his remarks Senator
Newlands said he had tried four times
to report the bill containing the
amendment to the senate, but that he
had been blocked in every instance
by the opponents of the measure. He
said: There Is a determination that
this question shall not be decided af-
ter debate upon its merits in this
body, but that all the dilatory pow
ers of the senate are to be exercised
to prevent even its consideration" !"
He appealed to "the good sense. the
good judgment, and to the patriotism"
of the senate, tut without avail. Sen
ator oliver made a point of order
against it, claiming that the senate
did not have time to consider it at
length, as it deserved. The point of
order was sustained.
After the senate had been engaged
with other business for some hours,
Senator Newlands again arose to re-
port the bill, whereupon Senator
Smoot objected. The objection was
sustained
These attempts followed an effort
by Senator Sewlands to have the
amendment considered Immediately

sion when both Senator Smoot and
Senator Root objected, the latter de-

declared, "of the constitutional pro-

So Senator Newlands' efforts failed

BILL
DEFEATED IN SENATE

CARSON CITY. March 5.--Senator
Lees bill raising the license on retail
liquor houses and roadhouses was de-
feated in the senate yesterday after
noon, the vote being 9 for and IL
against. Kendall, Huskey and Kenney
spoke against the measure, which. Lee
said, had been introduced on request
of certain liquor dealers who desired
to head-off the prohibition movement.
The bill would have established a
quarterly license of $240 for retail
liquor dealers and of SIS quarter
for roadhouses.
