MAJORITY OF
104 FOR N. II.
REPUBLICANS

Concord, y. H.. Jan. 5.--In the lew
Hampshire Legislature which con-
ConveneS in b.6n4i4al session at The
State House III his city tomorrow, the
Republicans have a majority over all
on JOINT ballot of 1914. In the state Sen
ate as the roll is made up, mere are
II Republicans, Democrats and /
Progressive. In the House there are
PSI Republicans. $50 Democrats, Pro-
gressIEes ana ; Progressive Demo
Gratis. Since election day one of the
Democratic senators-elec has been
found to be ineligible because of in
sufficient period of residence in the
state and a recount of ballots has
shown the defeat of another by his
Republican opponent. There may be
some changes in the House, also, as
the result Of hearings before the com
mittee on elections.
The political makeup of the Legisla-
ture is Of importance because of the
likelihood that various partisan meas
ures will be introduced by the major
ity. In 1919, when the Democrats and
Progressives in combination controlled
the Legislature. they re-districted the
state for the election of councillors and
of some cities. All of the old police
court judges and police commissions
were legislated out of Office and new
ones appointed. The agricultural, edu-
cational, fish and game, bank and Ii
uuor license departments were reor-
ganized and all the institutional boards
of trustees were superseded. 1t is re-
garded as probable that retaliatory
legislation will be sought at this ses-
sion.
The fish and game laws are to be
revised and an effort Will be made to
have representatives of the labor un-
ions and of the manufacturers of the
state Legislature on some new labor
legislation, particularly the amendment
to the workmen's compensation law.
The legislative committee of the State
Equal Suffrage Association has de-
cided to limit it's campaign at this ses-
sion to an attempt to secure municipal
suffrage for women.
Amendment Of the direct primary
law and the limitation Of expenditures
by political candidates will be sought.
Special commissions appointed under
acts Of the 1891 Legislature will re-
port to this General Court upon the

WORRIED
Antagonist
For the Ship Purchase
Bill Holds Measure
From Senate Tuesday

Washington, Jan. 5.-The continued
belliSerency on the part of Republic
can senators toward the government
ship purchase bill has begun to wor-
ry administration leaders, who failed
today to get the measure before the
Senate, owing to monopoliZation of
all the time with speeches and appro-
priation affairs. Inasmuch as only two
months remain in the life of the 63rd
Congress, and the Senate has not yet
passed any Of the big supply bills, the
reiterated determination of the mi
nority to fight the ship bill to the last
ditch has aroused the fears that the
administration legislative program is
in danger.

League includes eleven prayers for
relief, the leading section being:
-1-That the National Agree
ment and the rules Of the National

ciared to constitute a combination

travention CT the anti trust statutes
and that they be enjoined from
further doing business as a part of
said monopoly
@That the defendants be de-
clared to have corspired to irjure
or destroy the plaintiffs business
and enjoinsd from continuing their
conspiracy, particularly from say
ing the plaintiffs are financially ir-
responsible and from threatening
with "5iacklist" and players un5er
Federal contract
THAT all contracts with play
erS heretofore made by the cefend-
ants under the National Agreement
be declared as to the plaintiffs
null, void and Of no effect" and that
the defendants be enjoiaed from
seeking to enforce such contracts
against players later signed by the
FederaIs.
5-That the defendants be o.
dered to dismiss the various &C
tions now pending against players.
e-That they be restrained from

ORDERS SENT
MAyTORENA
T0W|THDRAW
FROM BORDER

Washington, Jan. 5.-The Gutierrez
government in Mexico in a note to the
state department transmitted today
10y the Brazilian minister, announced
that orders had been sent to Gen. May
torena at Naco ito make no attack
and to withdraw his forces from the
border" pending a closer study of the
situation in its military and political
aspects"
Text Of Note
The note was date Jan. and fol-
lows:
TIE government of Mexico, show
ing the best intention of solving the
Naco case in satisfactory manner.
today issued orders by wire to May
torena to make no attack and to
withdraw his forces from the border
AS for the time being, the situation is
relieved, the foreign office at Mexico
City will take the time necessary for
the purpose of making study of the
case in its military and political as
poets, with the view of giving it's final
decision. This course will be follow
ed because of the fact that Acting Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs is very
much occupied with the work Of re-
organizing the office force and in. Civ
ing attention to other important at
fairs Of an international character"
The general understanding in off,
cial circles toight was that the clos
er study" referred to probably would
develop in the conference to be held
on the international bridge at Ell Paso
htween Brig. Gen. Scott and Gen.
Francisco Villa.

Big LEAGUES ARE
SUED BY FEDERALS
Antitrust Action Assai]s Entire Structure of
Organized Baseball

Chicago, Jan. 5.-The Federal
League, resuming it's war on or
gained baseball, today fired its
heaviest gun-an antitrust suit
against the leading bodies oper-
ating under the National Agree
ment, including the National
League, the American League
and the National Commission.
The suit, it is said, threatens the
entire fabric of organized base
ball, carrying not only the posi-
bility that the intricate organi-
cation be declared illegal and
that the inter-league agreements
be dissolved, but that the ten
Thousand ball players in major
and minor leagues be declared
free agents.

Day of Excitement

Tuesday was most exciting day on
Capitol hill; rumor was swift and like
wise tickle. Story after story was re-
hearsed and later discounted, which
means that overtures Of one sort and
another between parties and factions
were prominent in the program Of the
day-much of which will never be writ
ten.
The faces of all the State leaders were

that met often during the day for con-
ference. Notable amongst the prominent
politicians seen at the Augusta house
were Congressman John A. Peters ex.

plan of certifying cargoes loaded under
the direction of officials of the treas

England cannot accept such certificd-

for suspicion arises after a vessel
leaves America. In other words. the
right of search cannot be waived, be-
cause of the possibility of shifting

smugglers who may carry copper or

Hearing Jan. 20

The bill OF complaint was filed in the
United States district court for north
ern Illinois and first action on 1t was
taken by Judge Kenesaw M. Lands,
who set jan 20 as the day for hear
ing. 1t asserts that the national
agreement under which organized
baseball exists, was made for the pur-
pose of so-dominating players that
their engagement by clubs outside the
alleged illegal combination would be
difficult if not impossible.

that the said defendant shall be decreed

. Eleventh hour indications are
that the joint convention of the
18th Legislature will convene to-
day to elect the constitutional
officials, the councillors, and the
commissioners of agriculture.
Both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis held joint caucuses last
night, nominating men for these
Offices. It has been noted that
the constitution provides for the
election Of the three major Off
Gals on the first Wednesday in
January and apparently this has
brought about the holding of the
joint caucuses day earlier
than has been the custom. It
is expected that the House and
Senate will be called into joint
session to elect these officials to-
day.
It also becomes apparent at
the 18th hour that the Demo-
Gratis realize their only hope of
a majority lies in the process of
unseating, and though there is
strong feeling against such a
move in many quarters it is gen.
orally predicted that the DEM
ocrats are now desperate enough
to unseat Thibodeau and Glenn
ent.

Republican senators today passed
several hours discussing the urgent de-

health.
Debate on the urgent deficiency bill
conferred upon the item of $554,31 eX-
portation Of troops to and from Vera

methods of departmental officials who
incur expenses not authorized by law
Senator Lodge announced he intend
ed to discuss the Administrations Mex

with the item; but said he had no

Ship Bill Amendments
Although Democratic managers
found no opportunity to get the ship
purchase bill before the Senate, the
commerce committee met and adopt
ed amendments submitted yesterday
by Senator Stone. One, designed to
prevent secret shipments of contraband
abroad, would authorize the President
to designate ports where customs col
lectors would be required to inspect
before loading all goods consigned to
foreign ports on ships of American
register, or vessels to be acquired by
the United States under the terms of

would place American ships under in
ternational maratime regulations.
An amendment submitted by Sena-
tor Lodge would provide that mo YES

are in any manner controlled or sub
sidized by any Of the nations now at

chased under this act which is the

while she was preparing his break

The unusual tone of his voice
frightened his wife and she sent for
aid Two physicians hurried to the
home, but found him past assistance.
Death was apparently due to paral-

reaved. Mrs. kodak plans to have

MURRAY SCOTT is CREDITED
WITH A VERY VALUABLE
FIND

Murray Scott, the well-known pros
pector who discovered Wonder, Awak-
ening and several other Nevada min.
ing camps, has made another find,
with indications that it will eclipse
any and all of his former locations.
The new camp has been named Al
pine, and is situated so miles south
west of Austin, the nearest railroad
point, and five miles west of the AL
pine ranch.
J. B. Truitt returned Saturday from
the new camp, accompanied by James
Edmunds and Sam Dixon. Mr.. Truitt
secured the first lease on the prop.
erty, and will begin work before the
1st of September
The main ledge is from to 20
feet in width, and three assays give
values of from $24 to $165 per ton
of the latter, $42 was in gold, the
balance silver The ore is said to
be the same as that found at Won
der and Fairview.-Silver State.
