Another tale is going the rounds
of the magnates in New York for the
National League meeting that George
Stallings will trade Johnny Evers if he
can find some one to take him off of
his hands But E.vers is too high sal
aired 4 player for the average cup TO
pick up. He still has contract when
does not expire for two years, and
il is said that he draws $4,000 year
This is the one obstacle in the way OF
Stallings getting rid of Evers, for he
is not a player who will last much
longer. and no club will want to take
a chance of tying itself up with so
eXorbitant a contract.
1t would not be surprising if both
major league meetings developed but
a single trade or deal. While there
was lot of talk about how many
players would change clubs in the old
league, it is not likely that there viii!
be near as many as figured on. and
aside from. Baker being shifted to the
Yankees there is not apt TO be a single
deal contaminated at the American
League session.
Deals are not easily made in base
ball these days. for the very good rea-
son that both ends to- deal are look
ing for the better of it and under such
conditions it is not easy to make
progress.

and also hit over 800, though. of course
that does not signify that he can hit
at that clip in the American League
yet he seems to be a player who stands
a chance to make good. which is shown
by the fact that Bill Donovan is will
ing to give him a chance in Peckin-
paughs position on the Yankee team
and Peckinpaugh has proved himself
great fielder ever since he has been
with that team.

TRAIN STRUCK AUTO.
Vehicle Smashed but Its Driver Escaped
Injury.

Bennington, Aug. 25.--Arthur C. Rus
sell, chauffeur for Walter H. Berry, pro
prietor of the Walloomsac inn at Ole
Bennington had narrow escape from
death yesterday when the automobile
he was driving was hit by the south
bound train over the Chatham division
of the Rutland railroad. The body of the
car was badly wrecked,
The accident happened at the crossing
near the Mt. Anthony clubhouse. The
chauffeur had been to Mr. Berry's farm
for cream for the use OF the hotel and
was on his return trip. AT the point
where the highway crosses the railroad
the grade is steep and the motor car
probably was not travelling at high
rate of speed.
1t was reported that the train was
making better time than usual, although
rapid running is impossible because of
the grade that prevails all the way from
the village TO the top Of the hill.

WELCOME McADOO'S

New York, Aug. 25.--Sec. McAdoo's
plan to deposit s3o0oo,o00 gold or more

ment was received with favor by traders
on the cotton exchange here yesterday.
Big cotton factors were not greatly sur
prised by the announcement, but well
coined it. 1t was thought that the mon
ey should easily care for the usual or
ders of Australia and Germany which,
in the course of year, amount to about
3 ,00O,0 bales. No immediate effect was
expected or noted yesterday, but a more
optimistic tone prevailed in the futures
market. 1t was pointed out, however,
that the cotton thus temporarily carried
under the treasury departments plan
would still have TO be reckoned with in
the worlds markets.

Washington Urged Not to
Act on Arabic Affairs
~ Without All Facts
NO INTENTION OF
KILLING. AMERICANS
Not Germany's Plan to Sink
Peaceful Ships in Fla
| n. grant Manner

Washington, Aug. 25.-Germany at the
the American government not to take
final action in regard to the sinking OF
the Arabic until all of the facts of the
case have been ascertained. Berlin itself
is as vet uniformed officially of the in
cdent, the commander of the submarine
not having reported the affair. The
Washington dispatches assume that the
president will grant the request and
that no further m owe will be made until
the German government has had time to
reply. At the same time the dispatches
represent Pres. Wilson as having deter
mined to sever relations with Germany
if the facts are as indicated on the face
of things. Ii is said that he will be
guided wholly by the asfidayits of the
American survivors and will disregard
"evidence" from British and German
sources. The facts as they now appear
are that the German submarine deliber-
ately sank an lmarmed, unccnroyed YES
sci which neither tried to escape or to
attack her assailant and which was sail
ing to neutral port without contra
band but among whose passengers there
were certain to be American citizens.
Count Won Bernstorff in his telegram
said that If any Americans had been
killed sit was contrary to the German
government" and that it was not the in
tention of the German government to
sink any peaceful ships in fragrant
manner.
Evidence Not Yet Given Out.
The state department received cable |
gram yesterday from Ambassador Page !
at London summarizing the affidavits of |
American survivors of the Arabic disas- |
ter. The investigation being made by |
the American ambassador, it was stated, !
is still incomplete and until this work is
finished and full summaries in posses
sion of the state department, no official
comment on the facts revealed will be
made. See. of State Lansing said yes
terday that the summaries of affidavts
thus far received are so fragmentary as
to make it unwise for the department to
make them public, or to comment on
them. The hope was expressed at the
department that within a few days this
government would be in possession Of all
the facts as revealed by the testimony
that is being taken. In the meantime
the situation win remain unchanged.
Ii was made plain in official quarters
yesterday that the United States intends
TO rely solely on .'he affidavits of the
Americans who took passage on the
Arabic and who were saved. For rea- !
sons that are regarded here as good and :
sufficient this government does not in. :

British passengers on the boat or by
the official report OF the British admiral
ty Ambassador Page is under instruc.
tions TO make certain that the testimony
of all the American survivors is obtained.
