RED SOx TO HANG
ONTO DEL GAMER.

BOSTON, Jan. 20.--The sugges-
ton advanced some weeks since to
the end that Del Gamer was to be
snapped for Jack Leary has no real
reason for its origin, according to
owner Lannin. The former Tiger is
to be retained by the Red Sox, for
the Boston president firmly believes
that Del has recovered his health
and will be a big asset next season.
Warned by the lurch that the Red
Sox were left in last season when
they had to begin the campaign with
out first sacker, President Lannin
will keep Gamer for an emergency
man, and thus strengthen his second
airy defence.
The Boston club is after first
class catcher, just the same. Carri-
gan is the class and Cady is good
steady work horse. Outside Of this
pair the Sox have Pratt, newcomer
who looks like good catcher, and
fairly good prospect if he ever learns
to hit. Chester Thomas, who may
be signed up later, is the only other
prospect, and last season he failed
lamentably in the pinch. Still, he
may show something next season.

to Mrs. Jessie Wilson Sayre, second
daughter Of the President. The brit
occurred at 4:30 this afternoon, aad
it is said that mother and child are

Rumors that the stork was hover
ing over the Executive Mansion have
been heard for some time and it u
understood that Mrs. Sayre came -
Washington especially to give ks<
child distinction of White HOUSE
birth. Mrs. Sayre is understood -
have been her mothers favorite chih
and her grief over Mrs. Wilson's
death gave the physicians and rela-
tives much anxiety.
Everyone here is willing to wager
the boy will be named Woodrow VII
son Sayre, in honor Of Grandaddy
Wilson. President Wilson made ne
effort to conceal his joy when inform
ed that the child was bog and that
Mrs. Sayre was well. His face was
wreathed in smiles for hours. 1t y

MILLION MARK REACHED
IN IMMIGRATION TIDE.
Report of Commissioner General Has
Been Made Public.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Asiatic
immigration, the Hindu propagan-
da" and particularly immigration to
Continental United States from Ha-
waii and the Philippines are discuss
ed at length in the annual report of
the commissioner general of immi-
grafton, Mr. Caminetti, made public
today. As to the Burnett bill re-
gstricting immigration, passed by both
houses of congress, the report says
that many of its provisions will ma
terially aid in solving the vital prob
lens of immigration and will insure
just treatment to all Corners.
The last fiscal year has indicated,
the report states, that immigration
has apparently reached the million
mark permanently and unless some
affirmative action is taken by the fed
eral government to restrict, or steps
are taken by European an other ma
tions to re luce the steady stream Of
persons leaving the various countries
of the old world, we need hardly ex-
pect that the number annually enter
ing the United States hereafter will
fall far below one million"

WILL ALL BE PROSECUTED
No Combinations to Raise Prices
viii Be Permitted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Prose-
Buttons will follow the discovery of
any evidences of illegal combinations
back of the recent marked increases
N the cost of wheat and flour, Attor-
ney General Gregory said tonight.
He added that the instructions sent
70 all United States district attor-
heys, at the direction of the Presi-
dent, following the increase in food
prices after the outbreak of the
European war still stood and that
he latest developments in the situa-
ION would be closely followed.
Mr., Gregory said the federal in
vestigation into the situation being
carried on in Chicago was in accord
ance with the general instructions
from the department of justice. Up
to the present he, however, had re-
seived no information that illegal
practices had been resorted to.
The suggestion of Mr.. Julian
Meath, president of the National
Housewives league, to President
Wilson that an embargo on the ex-
portation of wheat from the United
States be imposed, if the prices con-
tinued to go up, was laid before the
president tonight, but no action
taken.
