in Preventing Trust
Interference
Special to The Telegraph

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 1G.-According to
new affidavits filed in United States
District Court by Federal League play
ers yesterday, the sins of organized
baseball are multiplying daily.
Lee Magee, of the Brooklyn Feds,
yesterday petitioned the United States
District Court for leave to file an in
tervening petition in the baseball in
junction case.
The Brooklyn manager adopted the
petition of the Federal League in its
original bill and prayed for the same
relief as asked there. According to
his counsel, the Magee petition raised
the same questions as the leagues s suit,
but from the players viewpoint, and
asked the court specially to adjudicate
the relation which player holds to
organized baseball.
The contracts signed by PLAYERS in
organized baseball were cited and the
court was asked to determine whether
the agreements and their interpreta-
ton amount to violation of the laws
against enforced servitude, peonage
and the right of every citizen to enter
into a free contract.
In an affidavit ACCOMMODATING the
petition Joseph Tinker, manager of
the Chicago Federals, related that he

Pillar of Cloud by DaY.

With reference to this method OF
directing the march of caravans across
deserts, Linant Pasha points out how
modern times furnish an illustration
of it. The great caravan which every
year sets out from Cairo to Mecca has
a conductor on a camel leading the
way. Day and night, whatever the
weather is, he remains without any
covering, naked to the waist. With
him march men with large torches
which are kept alight during the night
and illuminate the column of smoke
above them, so that it appears pillar
OF fire. During the day, when the
head of the caravan is difficult to see
on account of intervening hills and
mounds Of sand, the torches are kept
burning, SO that instead of the light
which served during the night, col
umn of smoke indicates to the
struggling caravan from afar the di.
rection of the march and the time and
place of a halt.

Old Temperance Organizations.

1t was in Germany that temper
ance organizations may be said to
have had their birth The first of
these was the Order of st. Christopher,
formed by Sigismund Won Dietrich
stein on January IS, 1917, the mem
bers of which were pledged to abstain
from toast drinking. This was fol-
lowed by the so-called Order of Tenn
perance, founded by the Landgrave Of
Hesse on December 25, 1900. The
members Of this order solemnly
pledged themselves on the Holy Scrip
lures not to drink more than seven
glasses of liquor at one time, and that
not oftener than thrice a day. From
this 1t will be seen that while the or
der may have been one of temperance
1t was certainly not one of total abb
stinence.
