oRToNvILLE TAKES
SUNDAYS GAME

A bunch of yearlings grazed
most promiscuously on Island
Park last Sunday when those fat
ted calves came from Orton, but
they were not permitted to eat
until OrtonviIle had her fill. They
were branded by the score to {.
1T was an awful roundup of the
locals. First came the lassoing by
the cowpunchers but the way the
locals broke and stampeded was
a crime. They stood up there and
swung their bats like a Guernsey
going after flies. They fiielded
and tlrowed the ball as if they
had the c9lic, but nevertheless it
was a good game when one con-
siders that the erl4ors and bone
head base running is habitual
with some of the local members.

Series of Snags Struck in Negotiations Over Financ

BIG INTERESTS NOT
 FALLING INTO LINE
Chicago Banker Returns Home. Com- plaining "TOO Much MOrgan"-Mid- de West and South Think If Good
 Time to Talk Meat and Cotton.
(By B. C. Forbes.

New York, Sept. PA series O snags has been struck in the Anglo French loan negotiations, it was wide ly rumored in high official circles to- day
 Every channel of information sud an authoritative statement be obtain ed.
 Bankers previously willing to infor- mally talk over the progress of nego tiations, refused to say one word
 All appeared gravely disturbed.
 George M. Reynolds, president o1 the great Continental & Commercial National bank of Chicago, was report ed to have returned home from New York, highly displeased over the way the loan arrangements were being handled
 ''T00 Much MOrgan."
 From the start complaints have been heard in banking circles of "toC much Morgan" in the deal.
 Dissatisfaction has increased, not abated
  portant interests had refused to fal into line with Morgan X company's plans for floating the $750,O0O,00O or thereabouts issue.
 The National City bank was men, toned ill this connection, but an enl- phatic denial was made by the bank
 The commissioners were understood to have been in secret session all day and until late this evening. Not one visitor was noted.
 Jews Oppose Aiding Russia.
 Instructions. it was said, were awaited from London, whether Rus sia would be included in the loan, the Russian minister of finance hay ing arrived there and entered into consultation with the British chan cellor of the exchequer. Certain busi- ness bankers, including Jewish houses, do not favor having Russia financed by the proposed loan. Some would prefer to treat with Russia d. rect; others would not lend the czal' a penny.
 Tomorrow decisive developments are looked for.
 Either the snags will be overcome or the negotiations will be--Well, halted, it is said.
 More opposition was voiced rom the Middle West-over the adverse packers decision-and locally, while Southern bankers want the cotton tangle strengthened out before con- tributing to the loan.

BRYAN CONFERS
 WITH PRESIDENT
 CONCERNING :? ?
Politicians Interpret Silence of Both to Mean Break Has Widened.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Preslaent Wilson and former Secretary Of stale Wm. J. Bryan were~in conference to- day at the white house tor three, ouarters of an hour. Neither "oulu discuss the conference. ,
 This reticence on the part Of pooh is considered significant by polltlcl- ans. It is believed had the conference l,e suited in agreemen on the policies under discussion, a formal statement would have been issued from the white house, as is the custom. The absence of that statement is accspI. ed as good evidence of the failure of MT Bryan to convince the president thai his policy of national preparedness is wrong, and that, somewhat dlpio' matically, perhaps, Mir. Bryan notl' fled the executive he could not glVe that policy his support
 The interview with the preslden was at MT. Bryan's solicitation.

The discriminating Letters round on Archibald Pro-
 vide Necessary Evidence.
voN PAPEN AND VCN
 MIIBER MUST GET OUT
German Military Attaclie and Austrian ronsul.General Enemies of ANtrica. Dumba's Request for Safe
 Passage Ignored.

Washington, Sept. 22.-As the re- .u,+ of the receipt and plbi cation of tho correspondence taken from James ? T. Archibald by British secret ser yiee agents. the prepOnleranrc ot oninion in official circles tonight IS that this government will proceed de- cisively against the fOll )Wins' per sons:
 Capt. Franz von Papen, military at tache of the German em m1.ssy, "no has referred to the American people as "idiotic Yankees
 Alexander von Nuber, Austrian con sul-general at New York, who sub mitted to Dr. Dumba, the Austrian ambassador, the plan for f~mcntinS strikes in intuition plants i2 the United States.
 William Warm, editor of the Hun garian newspaper, Szabadsag, Who prepared the memorandum outlining the plan for interference with the mu- nitiOn plants, which was approved by Ambassador Dumba and was the ba- sis for the request for his recall.
 It can be stated on good authority that this government will either ask for the recall of Captain von Papen or hand him his passports; that it will concel the exequatur of Consul General von Nuber and will refer the case of Warm to the proper de- pertinent for such legal action as may fit the offense. Ass
 The case of Ambassador Dumba himself again became one ot serious consideration for the government, principally because the correspond ence revealed he had made comment on the president referring 10 his "selfwilled" temperament. and had discussed the presidents relations with congress.
 In this connection, the important discovery was made today that Am bassador Dumba has asked the state department to arrange for his safe passage home, and that his request has been held up by the administra- ton for reasons not fully revealed.
 Officials say, however, that this government will not interest itself to get safe conduct for Ambassa- dor Dumba until Austria has made d direct and categorical response to the request for his recall. Ordinarily, when a request for safe conduct is made, the state department takes up the matter immediately, as a matter Of courtesy.
