RECORDS NAME ON
PRESIDENT LIST

WASHINGTON, Jan. n.-There is
a possibility that George L. Record.
of Jersey City, will be appointed by
President Wilson to the Federal Trade
Commission. The appointment is by
no means certain, but If Bull Moose
is to be chosen. the choice will lie be-
tween Mr.. Record and George Rubles,
a New Hampshire man.
Both men are radical Progressives.
The remnants of the radical wing of
the Progressive party in New Jersey
have indorsed Record. 1t was recent
ly represented here in the person of
James G.. Blauvelt, of Paterson, who
came here to tell the President about
Mr.. Records qualifications.
Records friendship with Wilson
dates back to the latter days of Mr..
Wilson'S term as Governor of New
Jersey Mr.. Record assisted Mr.. Will
son with some of the reform meas
ures.

VILLA TELLS i. S.
He WILL FIGHT ON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Villa to-
day notified the United States admin
istration through Consul Carothers at
Ei Paso that he will continue his
struggle for the liberty of Mexico.
In the chaotic conditions in which
Mexica is again plunged assured
this government of full protection to
Americans.
"Only self-seeking politicians and
sreculators," he said. ARE the enc
mics of this nation. The rest of Mex
ico," Villa added, 'is friendly to the
United States "
Carothers says Villa entertains no
fear of failure in his purpose to free
the under classes in the republic.
Troops which left the capital with
Gutierrez are now returning to Villa,
and the situation from factional
standpoint is far more favorable than
a few days since. The administration
was inclined to believe Villas power
will increase rather than decrease.

PLAYER CONTRACT
IS SCRAP OF PAPER.
SAYS FED COUNSEL
Case of Hal Chase Is Cited in
Suit to Dissolve Base
ball Trust.

CHICAGO, Jan. 21..-The player s
contract was called a mere scrap of
paper by Keene II. Addington, the
Federal League chief counsel, resum-
ing his argument before Judge Lands
today in the antitrust suit against
organized baseball.
Addington declared there was no
real modification of relations between
clubs and players, despite changes in
the option section of contracts and the
elimination from some of the ten-day
clauses, which have been made within
the last year or two.
'The contracts we're changed, but
the national agreement and the prac-
tices under which organized ball con-
ducts its business were not, he said.
THE player thinks he gets something
In this contract and it's changes; he
gets nothing. The contract is designed
for use In court; the national agree
ment and the rules of the National
Commission still govern the game"

FORT 70 TESTIFY
IN SAN DOMINGO
SCANDAL PROBE
Scope of Inquiry Will Be Wild
ened-Bryan, GIynn and
HamiIl Named.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Injection of
the personality of prominent men,
notably Secretary of State Bryan, into
necessary that the investigation s
scope be widened. Senator-elect
James D. Phelan, of California. who
is hearing testimony on the charges
brought by w. w. Wick, Of Ruther-
ford, N. j., against Minister James NJ.
Sullivan said today he intended that
everyone whose name has been men
toned shall have full opportunity to
be heard. Former Governor Martin
H. Glynn has already fatty denied the
charge made by NJ. E. Davis, con-
tractor, that he was to participate in
profits which William c. Beer, named
as Sullivan's sponsor, said he ex-
pected to make in public work con-
tracts with the Dominican govern
ment.
Ex-Governor John Franklin Fort,
of New Jersey, was among those who
held themselves in readiness to testify
before Commissioner Phelan today.
Mr.. Fort was the governments
special investigator into the conduct
of Minister Sullivan at Santo Do
mingo following the original charges
made by Wick. 1t was following Mr..
Forts report to the state department
and the official clearing of Sullivan
that Wick charged that Sullivan's )
conduct had been "whitewashed" by
Secretary Bryan. Vick's letter to
President Wilson after the Fort re-
port had been accepted was the cause
of the appointment of Commissioner
Phelan and the opening of the
present inquiry.
Beer today made the following
statement: THE kindest interpreta-
ton that can be placed on testimony
given by Mr.. Davis yesterday is that
he mistook the meaning of the word
interested Former Governor Glynn
has not had any interest whatever,
present or contemplated, in Santo Do
mingo, as far as know. Representa-
tive James A. Hamill, of New Jersey,
has not had any interest in Santo
Domingo. 1t Is matter of common
knowledge in this city that certain
Jealous Democratic politicians are
trying to drive Mr.. Bryan out of the
cabinet"
In his testimony Davis declared
that he had been asked by Beer to
interest himself in contracts In Santo
Domingo. He said that Beer had told
him that the Dominican government
expected to spend $6,000,000 on public
works and that there would be big
profits in it."
Beer. he said, told him that he had
had Sullivan made minister and that
he was all right" He also quoted
Beer as saying that Secretary Bryan.
Former Governor Glynn and others Of
his business associates were interest
ed" with him. On cross examination he
said that the farther he got away
from Beers statements the less he
considered them entirely truthful.

RAYMOND SIGNS
BONDS He HELD
Up TWO WEEKS
Silent on His Reason, but He
Sends Issue to Rowe for
Signature.
MAYOR ALSO ACCEPTS
PAY CHECK FOR SERVICE
Law Department Now Only One
Declining Warrants Signed
by Mr.. Rowe.

Mayor Raymond today signed the
certificate for the $185, 1000 temporary
loan bonds, which have been ly-
ing on his desk for the last two
weeks. The mayor today notified
, City Comptroller Tyler Parmly he
had signed the bonds, and that they
were ready for the signature of City
Auditor james A. Rowe. Mayor Ray.
mond had delayed signing the bonds,
owing to an opinion given by City
Counsel Spaulding Frazer that Mr.
Rowe was no longer auditor.
The bonds were purchased by H
Lee Anstey, of New York, about
three weeks ago. They are to be
used in securing money for street
improvements. Mayor Raymond
would make no statement today as
to his reason for signing the bonds.
1t was believed the mayor would
sign the bonds a week ago. after AS
sistant Attorney General Herbert
Boggs gave an opinion that Mr.
Rowe was a defacto auditor and en-
titled by law to sign city checks and
bonds until his successor was ap-
pointed. In spite of this opinion,
given to the Civil Service Commits
sion, a State body, the mayor con
tinued to hold the bonds up until to-
F., day
VOLTS Contention Ignored.
The bonds could not be funded, as
the law clearly states that no bonds
can be funded while there are assess
ments uncollected for which the orig
inal bonds were issued.
The mayor, by his action in sign
ing the bonds, made ii clear that he
! was not disposed to adhere longer
| to the opinion of his personal city
counsel, Mr.. Frazer, and further that
| the statements of Assemblyman H
! Edward Wolf, at Trenton Tuesday
night, that If House bill Al, intended
to oust Auditor Rowe, did not become
law the city of Newark would be
/ embarrassed financially over tenn
porary loan bond issues, were not
! considered sound by the mayor him
| self.
It was explained in the Evening
| Star of yesterday that under tn,
| provisions of chapter 121 of the law:
of 1912, the mayor, ard not the audi
| tor, would be required TO first sigr
such bonds.
Mayor Accepts Pay Warrant.
The mayor and employees of hi:
| department accepted their pay checks
yesterday afternoon, after refusing
them for the past week.
The only department in the city not
recognizing the legality of pay war
rants, countersigned by James A
Rowe, as city auditor, is the law de-
partment This department is in
| charge of City Counsel Spaulding
Frazer, who has given an opinion that
Mr.. Rowe is no longer city auditor
No one in this department has re-
ceived any money for his services for
| the first two weeks in January.
Yesterday afternoon E. Erie Moody
secretary to the mayor, accepted the
pay roll and checks for the mayors
department. The checks were handed
out at once and Mayor Raymond &C
cepted his.

With Radical Testimony Be-
fore Walsh Commission.
BY JOHN EDWIN NEvIN
United Press Correspondent,

NEW YORK, Jan. q. Every
worker in the United States is en-
titled to a job and the government
ter of actual right the worker is en-
titled in addition to sickness insur-
ance, old age pensions and, above all,
to a share in the profits resulting
from his labor"
This was the expression today by
Daniel NJ. Guggenheim. millionaire
mining and smelter king, to the Fed
eral Relations Commission. Guggen-
helm was an amazing witness, so rad
ieal, as a matter of fact, in certain of
his views as TO cause audible wonder
from certain parts of the audience,
He openly characterized his own
views as socialistic. He said he be.
lieved better day for industry is
dawning in the United States, because
employers are at last realizing that
they must be more fair to their en-
ployes.
Envy he characterized as the great
eanker affecting the body polite, and
he said he sympathiZed with the
worker who was envious. The smelter
king declared that he favored trades
unionism as a general proposition, al
though he maintained the open shop
in his own properties.
E. j. Berwind a Witness.
E. J. Berwind, one of the biggest
coal operators in the United States
another witness, declared that he be-
lieved the maximum workday in that
industry should be of nine hours. He
said that while his properties were
not unionized, they paid the union
wage scale. But he complained that
his men would work only about nine
teen days q month.
There are holidays, funerals, pay
days and the day after payday" he
said, and the result is that we have
never received the maximum return
for the capital we have invested"
While Guggenheim was talking
Mother" Jones and several of the
mine workers from Colorado who are
here to testify before the commission
entered the room.
Mother Jones sat down a few feet
from John D. Rockefeller, jr., and be-
gan TO curiously examine him. A few
minutes later Mr.. Rockefeller quietly
slipped out of the room.
Mr.. Guggenheim was the first wit
ness. He said he was 8 direc-
tor and financially interested in
the American Smelling and Refining
Company. the Guggenheim Explora.
ton Company. the Nevada Northern
Railway Company, the Pacific Copper
Company the Utah Copper Company
the Yukon Gold Company and various
banks and other corporations.
