$4,000 having been spent for a survey
in the best manner possible, working
in conjunction with the Somerset
county commissioners. Sen. Forest

EDDIE, PLHllN-
At the peace conference tomorrow
in New York between the Federal
League and organized baseball,
Ban Johnson, J. X. Tener and
James Gilmore will be among the
leading figures. One of the great
difficulties of a merger will be
the disposition of the players.
1t is certain that such men as
Plank, Tinker and Kauff will be
taken by clubs along with their
present Federal League contracts.
But as for many other players,
the question is unsettled and will
require a time for complete ad-
justment.

Feds Begin Suit on o. B.

Not satisfied with that, the Feds went
into the Federal Court in Chicago before
Judge Lands and asked for dissolution
of the National Commission, alleging that
the operations of this body were contrary
10 the Sherman antitrust laws. Judge
Lands took the case under advisement
last winter and has not yet given his
decision,
Judge Lands is a baseball fan. 1t is
possible that he warned both sides TO
keep strictly within the law in all thelr
business operations and that merger
would not be out of place.
Just now the most interesting subject
Is the peace meeting" scheduled to be
held in New York tomorrow. This gath
ring takes place for the purpose of work
ing out the details of the merger. 1t
has been suggested that the International
League take over four of the Federal
League clubs, and that the two major
iaopnes take the other four. Whether
this will be done is matter 10 deter
mine at the meeting.

Here Are the Items
in the Peace Pact

available, the peace pact calls for
almost complete merger of the
National and Federal Leagues.
Here are the facts:
Weeghman will buy into the
Cubs.
Ball and Stifel will buy into the
Cardinals.
Brooklyn and Pittsburgh inter
ests will consolidate.
Newark and Giants interests
will also consolidate.

money at rapid rate. Not only that,
but the league continued to wedge into
the ranks of organized baseball and to
get more and more players.
Organized baseball magnntes were
badly frightened Mt the pcrsistcncy of
the Feds. but continued to deny the pos
sibility of their ultimate success. JUST
here It is worth mentioning that Connie
Mack never gave out statement In
which the Feds" or Federal League"
occurred. AS far ms any one knows, he
was never at any time known to call
organized basebal's rivals by their first
name
All Of this time organized baseball was
suffering heavily. Not only were the fans
getting dsgustcd at the constant wrangle
between the rival organizations but play
ers In the National and American Leagues
were threatening to jump to the Feds un-
less they received fat contracts Of two
or three years duration. And the Jlaycrs
were not blufilng at that Many more
would have gone to the Feds but for the
Increases they received. 1t is certain that
Eddie Collins, who was then a member
of the Athletics, would have gone over
had not Connie Mack given him the most
attractive contract ever received hy u
player of either Philadelphia club
1t Ia estimated that at the present time
the Federal League has 1885 400 worth Cf
contracts on its hands, most of this
to the players.
Upon this matter has hinged the diff
fercnces between the Feds and organ
ized baseball for months Naturally the
Federal League magnates want I'm case
of a merger, organized baseball to take
over these contracts. I'VE want 10 pro-
tect our players" is the way President
Gilmore put 1t up to the q. r. moEuls.
1t might be added that Gilmore ct al.
would also like to protect themselves
from possible lawsuits growing out of a
failure to live up to these contracts.
One matter of peculiar interest just at
this time, when 1t is apparent that peace
will come, is. who is responsible for
peace? The National League magnates
claim that the overtures came from tho
Federal League, which was on Its last
legs, so to speak. The Federal moguls
say they We're first approached by owners
OF organized baseball clubs. who were
in such dire financial difficulties that
something had to be done. At any rate.
the warning factions seem to have got
ten together to a point where the details
of the coalition may be worked out sat
isfactorily to both sides.
Another interesting question arises in
this connection. What effect would
Judge Landis decision. If 1t had been
given. have had on baseball? Naturally,
IL would depend on what the decision
was; at the same time 1t can be sur
missed about what 1t would have been
because of the long delay.
When Bill Killefer. of the Phillies,
jumped back to the local club. after
having signed a Federal League contract,
n restraining order was issued against
his playing. The case came up in the
Michigan courts and the Judge threw
out the case. His Honor did not give
out n formal decision, but stated In open
court the Feds had come into court
with "unclean hands" He also said that
the contracts OF organized baseball would
not hold because of their utter lack of
mutually.

Gasoline and horses are the most
profitable to the smugglers. The form
err brings at least treble its price in
times of peace.
Sound horses of any age fetch ex-
traordinary prices from the Germans,
anything up to $500 being paid for
draft horses.
All roads leading to the frontiers
are closed to traffic. Directly on the
border line at wide intervals stand
single sentries with their loaded rifles
resting benath their arms. About 200
yards further back is a second line Of
sentnels and behind these some dis
lance in the rear are pickets of a doz-
en- men with nom commissioned offic-
err.
The smugglers naturally keep to
side paths or go across country. In
case they should be seen by the pick
cts they are at once arrested and their
loads confscated. Often, however, az
night they succeed in passing through
the gaps between the pickets. Then
their progress becomes more difficult
and their presence is often discovered
by the inner lire of sentries who fire
if the smugglers, as sometimes hap
pens, make a dash to reach the Ger
man lines. Occasionally the chase is
lively one and gives rise to a rapid
fusilade, which in many cases proves
fatal to the smugglers.

MOVIE SHOWS IN
DUTCH IN ENGLAND
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, May 5.-Moving pictures
have been unequal to the occasion, the
press and the public declaring that
they have done little to either portray
or exhalt patriotic sentiment Exploit
ers of films blame the censor, while
the censor reports that producers OF
picture-plays lack proper inspiration.
Cinematograph directors gave a pri-
waite view of films exhibited in other
countries and even in some of the
French provincial cities, but prohibit
ed in Paris, to prove their case.
Among the things to which the project
of police objected were scenes of Ger
man prisoners captured in the Vinay
Woods near Epernay, German prison
ers at the camp of Anglers, French
village showing tombs of German SOL
diers after a battle, films depicting the
destruction of churches and villages
by fire and bombardment, besides
numerous picture-plays presenting
soldiers and Red Cross uniforms not
in actual service.
ha nf l.
tiles invited to this representation was
that the censor was perfectly justified
in cutting out imaginary war and hos
pital scenes, holding that they were
unworthy to represent the heroism and
devotion of the soldiers and nurses. A
contrary opinion was held however,
regarding certain films of actual hap
penings. The result has been that the
government has authorized four
representative cinematcgraph con-
Germs to take moving pictures of war
scenes at the front. In the meantime
moving picture houses are depending
largely upon old films to entertain
their public, which is gradually grow
ing smaller
French wit has always found a
widen field of effort in the caricatur-
Ing of public officials of all grades
and departments. Martial law has
given the latter their first opportunity
to revenge themselves. Any films re.
fleeing upon, belittling or holding Ut
to ridicule any functionary of the gov
ernment is pitilessly censored.
The result of the limitations put up
on directors of moving picture houses
has been to give unusual prominence
to American films.

ments have been erected to a depth of
many yards.
Yet the young Belgians dare every
thing. They crawl beneath the wire in
the night and with luck manage in
many cases to get through at the ex-
pense of torn clothing and flesh. Then
however, there is the open space be
fore the frontier to negotiate. This is
closely guarded by German landsturm
troops, but the Belgians often try to
cover it in a desperate dash under the
fire of the sentries. Numbers of them
succeed, for the Germans take good
care not to fire in the direction of the
frontier, as they would thus run the
risk of shooting the Dutch sentinels on
the other side of the line ana in this
way committing a breach of neutral
ity.
Once within Dutch territory the Bel
gian youths are free. AS they are no.
yet soldiers, they canHot be interned
and most of them make their way to
a port for shipment across the Chan
mel.
The Dutch troops on other portions
of the frontier have also to keep a
sharp lookout for smugglers of con-
trabrand from their own territory into
Germany. These smugglers, owing tC
the rich profits in case Of success, are
very daring and tricky, and they de-
not hesitate to use violence against
their own countrymen.
