mon Council tonight In special session
adopted resolution asking the judge
OF the Corporation Court to issue n rule
against the Mayor Of the city OF Roa-
nokc to show cause why he should not
be removed from Office. This was the
most important action OF the Council at
to-niEhts meeting, which was brought
about In order to hear q special mes
sage from Mayor Moomaw asking for
an investigation of municipal affairs
following the recent report OF the spe-
ciai grand jury which implicated the
chief of police. chief OF the fire de-
partmcnt and several other officials In
connection with gambling here.
The Council also adopted a resolu-
gate the Offices OF the chief of police
and chief of the fire department..
Another important action of the
Council in connection with the up
hcaval was the appointment of COM
mittee to Investigate the board of po-
lice commissioners. Not since the trial
of Mayor Cuthin for malfeasance and
m!sfeasance In Office has anything
caused such sensation as the report
OF the special grand jury and subse-
qucnt Developments. Should Judge
the Council for rule against the
Mayor. it Is expected that the reso-
luton calling on the chief executive
to Investigate the chief OF police and
chief of for fire department will be
dropped
To-niShts action of the Council will
come before the Board OF Aldermen at
IL special session which probably will

PEPPER STILL SEES MERGER.
Thinks Committee BungIed in Allowing
 Eastern Association to Get Busy.

Louis Pieper, vice president of the Lynn club, still thinks there is a chance for the merger. He says: T wasn't particularly pleased at the action of the committee in telling O'Rourke and Zeller of the Eastern association that they had until Jan. IT to show six cities prepared to start in 1916. for the organization of new league means a lot of work, and we should have no obstacle in the way. know Teller and O'Rourke will be unable to dig up the six cities. but the point Is that valu- able time Is being lost meanwhile. We should be working on a new organiza- tion right now, but are not in a posi- tion to, because of the action of the merger committee.
 Sentiment in Hartford and Spring field is very strong for a new league comprising cities of approximately 100000 inhabitants each. The press is very strong for such an organization and very set against the old order of baseball, which was never a paying proposition and which was never fully satisfactory to the public. How O'Rourke and Teller can do business against such sentiment am at loss

but little effect on the leaders, which appear to more than hold their own in some cases even increasing their lead. Burnley continues to top the clubs in the northern section of the English league, being now, two points better than Manchester City, which on Saturday jumped into second place. In the Midland section Notts Forest has broken away from the bunch and has four points on its nearest compe- tftor. Even greater is the lead of Chelsea in the IcndoK section, the club to date having lost only two games, and it is first by the wide margin ot six points.
 Celtic and Heart of Midlothian con- tinue to monopolize the race in the Scottish league, and though the Celts have the edge. on the field they are but two points ahead of the Hearts, these two clubs being well punched all season. The standings to date, in- cluding games played on Saturday. are follows:

BELL-ANS Absolutely Removes
 Indigestion. One package proves it. 25c at all druggists.

Crimson trainer, to keep the men from going stale before the final game with Yale. There have been few instances where athletes have re- tained the form they showed in one big game for another big game two weeks after. But "Pooch' having Superintended the process 1r years, knows how to do it.
 The result is that Harvard annual ly takes a certain chance of having the team go stale for the Yale game, since it is driven to top form for the game with Princeton two weeks be- fore. But the faith that Percy D. Haughton has always placed in the trainer has been well-grounded. for he has not yet failed to produce a Harvard team that was able to cope to the fullest extent with any Yale onslaught.
 Princeton cannot see the force of the argument. however. The Tigers play their first big game with Har- yard and the following week meet Yale, thus closing the Tiger schedule a week earlier than the list is fin- ished at New Haven or Cambridge Princeton discounts the theory that team cannot maintain it's form for more than ten days and wants just one trial to be convinced.

to understand. In fact, I know they can't.
 We have been campaigning hard for the new league. Much work has been put in. Tim Murnane told me he stood for the merger, on the final showdown. and I was amazed when he and the other members of the com mittee, while not turning down the proposition, set up an obstacle by vot- ing to give O'Rourke and Zeller month in which to prepare a report of their ability to organize six cities for 1916. Waste of time isn't the only drawback. The move makes the public apprehensive as to whether or not baseball is in proper hands when a committee will deliberately ignore con- ditions known to be almost ridiculous as affecting the future of the game. 1 have no doubt that Teller and O'Rourke will now get busy, and will do their best to interest business men in sev- eral cities in their derelict; and pos sibly they will come to the front on Jan. IF with an optimistic report; but, knowing the ground as l do, I am ab solutely certain they cannot organize workable circuit and their report will be exposed to the severest tests possible before it will be damned down fandom's throat.
 If the permanent good of baseball can be jeopardized by the whim of couple of men, then baseball is in Ddu way as an OrSanlZatlOn, and the sooner radical changes are made the better. In Hartford, Owner Clarlxin says positively. he will not permit the use of his park for baseball in the old Eastern association. In Springfield
 Owner Carey will not have anything to
 do with the old league The press of these cities is bitterly antagonistic, so that baseball of the old order would
 die a natural death ere the adult stage
 of its attempted rejuvenation was reached.
 ''Zeller claims valuable interests in Northampton. Possibly he has some money invested, but he has no rights in organized baseball. He sent his check to Secretary Farrell for protec- l tion, but he also instructed the sec retary not to cash the check until a 1 later time, when he would give him ] word. That didn't serve the purpose ir | baseball law, and I am amazed that Zeller should be considered at all 1 "I am pleased to learn that Lowel | is contemplating the building of z i Merrimac river stadium.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET EXTREMELY DULL. Dealings Seemed to Lack Impulse oT
 Initiative of Any Kind.

New York, Dec 21.-The low ebb of trading for fortnight or more was reached today, the turnover falling to the insignificant total of 340,000 shares. initiative of any kind, although some concern was expressed regarding the outcome of the note to Austria, which is to be made public tomorrow.
 Other features of the foreign situa- tion, including the partial abandon ment by the allies of the Gallipoli campaign and the frank utterances of Great Britain's minister of munitions, were received with some misgiVings. London and the continent continued to offer our securities for sale in this market, but these were light enough to find free absorption.
 Developments, chiefly of a helpful character, included an advance in re- fined copper to 20 IA cents. with some producers holding off for a fraction over that figure, and the publication of the Baltimore and Ohio railroads s November earnings, disclosing a net increase of $1,176,000. If the latter may be accepted as a prelude to simi- lar exhibits, further record breaking railroad returns are certain.
 More uniformity was shown by the movement of foreign exchange, the strength of rates to all the principal European centers of finance ref1ecting
 
 There was also a broader inquiry for the Anglo French bonds between 94 3-4 and 95, the total overturn approximat- ing s1,500,000.
 A succession of narrow dips and ad- vances was recorded by the stock mar ket, lowest prices being made at mid day, when United States Steel and some of the rails were under moderate pressure. American Smelling was again the leader, it's sales on the steady rise of 7-8 to 104 7-S far exceeding those of Steel. That stock fiuctuated narrowly, and other leaders, including rails manifested an irregular trend. Specialties moved in a wider radius, some issues showing obvious manipu- lation.
 Bonds in general evinced a lower level on light operations. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,730,000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

''The early hours of the meeting were devoted to matters pertaining to the International League These were temporarily laid aside.

 At the conclusion of the afternoon meeting. B. B.

 August Hermann, chairman of the national commission, when questioned on the subject, stated that he thought the meeting would be carried over un- til tomorrow.
 That the question of the disposition of players was the prime topic dis cussed at the meeting today was in dicated by the calling of almost every National and American League men in the city into the committee room during the afternoon session.

COURTNEY LIKES JUNE 17
Thinks it Best Date for Poughkeepsie
 Regatta-Coaeh Still Laid Up.

Charles E. Courtney, coach of the Cornell crews, who has been confined to his home almost constantly since the Poughkeepsie regatta, is rapidly recovering his health. Although it will take at least two months more before the old man is able to resume his work with the Cornell oarSmen, the veteran coach is taking an ac- tive interest in the rowing Situut ton. Courtney on reading several days ago have been asked to change the pro posed date for the next PCughkeep-
 sic regatta because of the inconven-
 fence to which June IT, the early date decided on tentatively, would put
 several of the Cornell and Columbia students to, as that date falls during examination week, said that he thought June IT would be better for Cornell than any other date suggested. ! the tide would not be as favorable for | the tour-mile race as on the earlier date.

DATES OF PRINCETON
 GAMES SATISFACTORY.
Both Vale and Harvard Contentec
 With Present Arrangements.

The recurring Princeton argument in favor of encouragement of the Yale Harvard, Harvard Princeton and Yale Princeton football games each respite of a fortnight between the two main battles. is not likely to bear fruit in the immediate future.
 Both Harvard and Yale are satis- fled with the present arrangement, which calls for the HarvaTd-Prince- ton, Yale-Princeton and Harvard Yale games on successive Saturdays. leav- ing Harvard to enjoy the annual ad- vantage of a two weeks rest between its most importan contests.
 It is Princeton's contention that the benefits resulting from the exera week that Harvard enjoys are too great to be given to the same team every year. The Jersey idea was to sprinkle the big games around so that Princeton could have a fortnights rest the first year. Yale the second year and Harvard the third year. This would mean that every three years the Harvard-Yale game would have to be played before the Yale-Prince- ton contest.
 Harvard and Yale have both ex- pressed their satisfaction with the present arrangement of the schedules. so Princeton is alone in the lament. The two big games. coming on con- secutive weeks as they do, fit in per fectly with Yale's scheme of driving the Eli eleven to top-notch form at .he close of the season. It is gen erally conceded that a football team cannot remain in the so-called pink of condition for more than ten days, so Yale prefers to have the Prince ton and Harvard engagements take place within eight days, to get the full benefit Of a. fighting Yale team that is at the crest of it's form.
 Harvard is content with the pres ent system because of the unusual ability of Epoch" Donovan, the
