BEGIN HEARINGS ON
 LARGER ARMY BILLS  Senate Military Affairs Com mittee to Hear Witnesses
 on Measures.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Hearings were begun today by the senate mili- tary affairs committee on bnls for strengthening the army as proposed by Secretary Garrison by about 25 900 men. The secretary had been in- vited to appear before the committee tod y.
 A number Of changes principally in wording and not in any ot the prin- ciples laid down, have been suggested by Secretary Garrison in the Cham berlain bill pending in the commit tee, to increase the efficiency of the regular army and providing a reserve force of enlisted men.
 Tn returning the bin to the com mittee the secretary calls attention to the fact that the measure, which em- bodies some of the ideas contained in his annual report carries with 1t no expenditure of money for the pay or allowances of reservists, except when they are mobilizing for active service
 The bill proposes to create an army reserve composed of enlisted men who have completed twelve months of continuous service in the army navy or marine corps; who are physically qualified and not more than forty-five years of age. While the enlistments in the regular army are for period of six years, this covers reserve service for provisions made for the transfer of a soldier af- ter one years service. with the col- ors, to the reserve when his pay stops only to be resumed when he is called into service by a mobilization order

the matter over carefully4 It is statement based on years of intimate knowledge of the great American sport and should be given due con- sideration hv those who are waging a relentless baseball war on each other with only one end in sight the slaughter of the goose that has laid the golden egg
 The only thing for the warning elements to do is to arrive at some sort of an understanding" ex-Presi- dent Lynch said to a Herald re- porter. "If they don't they will lose racney and the players will get it all.
 Federals Have Right to Exist.
 As far as I can see the American league and the National league have no right to deny existence to the Federal leagues The Federals have just as much right to start a league as did any of the others. It is just like men In the theater business If another man wants to build 8 theater we have no right to tell him he can't. If he thinks the field Is big enough to support another theater we can't stop him from going into the game. Whether he makes money is his look out.
 The best thing organized baseball and the Federal league can do is get together. Under any other con- ditions they can't make money. The Federal league is backed by millions and the men behind it are not oper- ating on a shoestring. There can be no success while rival leagues are grabbing each others players and no yyir Po Ia, o,,io ho no money left for the magnates"
 Federal League Agent Here.
 Ex-President Lynch had long talk last night with Alexander Bann- wart, who is thought to be an agent of the Federal league. The purpose of the conference is being kept a secret, the former National league head saying today that what they talked about was of a confidential nature.
 Fans Have Confidence in Lynch.
 MT Bannwart is connected with the firm of I. M. Taylor & company, mem bers of the New York, Boston and Chicago stock exchanges with of- fees at 10 Post Office square, Bos- ton. He was seen after his confer
  c1ined to reveal the nature of the talk. He appeared to be happy over ex-President Lynch's views on the baseball war. MT. Bannwart denied being an agent of the Federal league and said he was merely a fan" He stated that the fans" of the coun- try have more confidence In ex-Presi- dent Lynch than they have in any of the big men in baseball today and he expressed the opinion that 1t was & dark day for baseball when the Ma l tional league decided to supplant him l with another.

 Whether MT. Bannwart is looking over the Connecticut field with view of starting a minor cog of the Federal machine in this section of the is not known. Some say that Is his purpose. but he disclaims any knowledge of what the inten- tons of the outlaws are with re- gard to the Nutmeg state, His name has frequently been connected with the Federal league and he is lne of the men who is said to be the Eastern association mag hates considerable loss of sleep It is possible that the outlaws are plan

 One of the Herald's readers who for reasons of modesty, prefers that her name be withheld, tells the story of a highly educated cat in her pos session. She states that a few days ago she went out in the afternoon and did not return until evening. On approaching her home she was sur prised to see a bright light burning in the dining room. Investigation showed that the house had not been entered and the house wife discov- cred that her playful cat had lighted the gas in the dome itself The fix ture is equipped with a pilot light and chain and in playing about the room the cat jumped upon the din- ing room table and clawed at the dangling chain, finally pulling it and causing the gas to ignite.
 When the mistress of the house entered the room she found the cat and her pet dog asleep on the couch.

MUST PREFER CHARGHS.
To Remove Snow and Rigney From
 Capitol Says Attorney General


 Hartford, Jan. 12.--In an opinion filed with Comptroller Morris c. Webster, today, Attorney General George c. Hinman says the positions of superintendent and assistant su- perintendent of the state capitol colne within the scope of the state civil ser vice law and that the present incum bents, Robert o. Snow and Hubert Rigney, cannot be removed without the preferment of charges which must be sustained. The attorney general says further that appointees to those positions should be made from list of eligibles submitted by the civil ser vice commission.
 This disposes of the contest for a day or two, but there is general inl- pression that the civil service law will be radically amended if not repealed before the general assembly goes home for the week.

ion he would reiterate his original dec
laration that the sinking of the Lusi-
tania was an unwarranted act.
In fact, officials said, the Lusitania
question loomed up today more formid-
ably than ever, as the result of tine
German justification Of the vessels de-
struction II was not thought, how
ever. that there would be any attempt
on the part of tho administration to
write into any note anything in the ma
ture of an utimatm IN this connection.
There will he no declaration that Ger
many must accept responsibility. In
stead. it was said by officials close TO
the administration that President Viii
son simply will repeat that the sinking
was nnjustiiied, letting the issue stanu
to be settled by diplomatic exchanges
On the other questions involved oili-
cials said they believed the President
would stand firm. The courteous word
ing Of the German note was accepted as
proof of a sincere desire at Berlin TO
reach an amicable settlement. II was
not believed, however, that Germany has
properly sensed the American view
point, despite the volumnous CORE
spondence already in evidence. This was
looked on as the one thing that consti-
tutes the real menace.
There is no intention. officials said,
Of making any threats to Germany.
They expected the next note to ex-
press surprise that Germany should
have misunderstood our general posi-
tion-that unarmed merchantmen
must be stopped and searched before
being destroyed, whether they are
lbelligerent or neutral Germany viii

sions asked for in the note of June 9.
If the Germans choose to take Of
fense at this It will be their own
1 lookout, officials said. Their view
was that America must simply stand
I firm and, If break should come. put
i the responsibility squarely up to Ger
many.
It was deemed possible that the
Kaiser would be asked If he has any
suggestions to offer toward guaran-
teeing freedom of the seas, thus OPEN
ing the door for a general discussion
between the aelligerents. This, how
ever, was declared TO be entirely a
matter for the President to decide. Of
ficials saying they did not consider
themselves familiar enough with his
views TO predict what he actually
will do.

The mills had been started by work
