Plfcher lncenSed when Miller Foul ed
Off Twelve Consecutive Balls.
If there is any man in the world
harder to pitch to than Miller Higgins
the average National league twirler
hasn't yet lamped the Individual. One
day when Higgins was batting against
Vic Willis, then with the Pirates, the
Rabbit fouled off twelve consecutive
balls. Vic was an easy going cuss,
but he became highly incensed and
yelled to the umpire:
Get a batter. I'm tired of'throwinG
the ball to a bunch of nothing like that

replied the Jump You will have to get

Joe Tinker, manager of the

day in Brooklyn, and this is
) what happened:
There being no Sunday game,
Tinker and one of the baseball
players took a walk. On a va

lot teams were engaged in a
tight game.
The catcher was a freckled

bacco in his mouth and his cap
on one side of his head.

HERZOG SURE TO BE RETAINED
Good Showing of Reds Means He viii
Handle Team Next Season.

The Cincinnati team seems to have
shown wei! enough during the closing
days of the season to warrant the re-
tention of Charley Herzog as manager
next season.
HerZog has quite a good ban team
now. He has added materially to the
strength of his pitching staff and has
made such changes in his team as to
give it a better chance than it had pre-
viouSly.
The Reds got poor start in the
spring, and Herzog. it seemed. was
slated for the can but the splendid
finish his team has made Isl sure to
change the clubs plars, and the re-
tention of Herzog,already is practically
assured

AUSTRIA HAS ASKED
 FOR PARTICULARS
Secretary Lansing Will Forward Cop- ies of Afidavits as Furnished
 by the Survivors.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-The re- ply of the Austrian government to President Wilson's latest note re- xarding the sinking of the Italian liner Ancona, by an Austrian sub marine, has been received by Secre- tary Lansing, of the state depart ment. AS indicated in the advance news from Europe the Austrian gov ernment asks more time in which to exchange views regarding the sinking of the liner may be made between Washington and Vienna. The note states that the Austrian government has no official information concern ing thef9estruction of the Ancona as it Ras Yen unable to communicate with the commander of the subma- rine
 Secretary Lansing, it is stated, will furnish Vienna with the particulars of the destruction of the liner as furnished by affidavits made by Dr. Cecile L. Greil of New York. She was the only American born passen- ger on the Ancona who was saved when the vessel was sunk in the Mediterranean by a submarine flying the Austrian flag on November g.
 The American woman testified be- fore Thomas Nelson Page. American ambassador at Rome, that the sub marine shelled the Ancona while the passengers were attempting to es- cape in the life boats Mrs. Greil's maid was killed by shell which burst in their stateroom while they were preparing to leave the steamer.
 She was forced to jump from the stern of the Ancona and was taken from the water by members of the ahip's crew who had righted a boat which had been capsized while being launched.
 It is also stated that Secretary Lansing will reiterate the demands of President Wilson that the Austrian government cease its submarine ac- tivities against passenger ships and indemnify the relatives of Americans who lost their lives when the steamer was sunk.
 Mrs. Greil's testimony regarding the sinking of the liner was substan- tiated by other passengers of the An coma and members of the crew who were rescued.

WAR TAX MEASURE
 PASSED IN HOUSE
Voted Solidly Against Measure and Had Support of
 d Few Democrats.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. IT, The resolution extending the war tax to the close of the coming year was passed in the House yesterday afternoon after a spirited debate in which Representative Mann, leader of the minority forces, taunted the administration with it's methods of raising revenues. He believes the administration should admit that an upward revision of the Underwood tariff law was necessary instead of re- sorting to petty measures to provide revenues.
 The resolution had been made the subject of Democratic caucus the previous evening when the adminis- tration's forces were lined up before the. measure was allowed to come to come to a test of strength.
 The Republicans to a man voted in opposition to extending the tax, as also did five Progressives and five Democrats.

GARMENT WORKERS
 LOSE THE STRIKE
out Recognition of the Union But Granted Shorter Day.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.--The strike of the Chicago Garment Workers, which was called more than two months ago when the employers refused to recognize the union, has been settled by compromise which is considered a. big victory for the employers. Me- gotiations for ending the struggle have been under way for some time, but it was not until late yesterday that the compromise was affected and the fifteen thousand strikers returned to work this morning.
 The strike was called when the em ployers refused to grant an eight. hour day, an increase in the wage scale equal to 15 per cent and recog milton of the union. They have re- turned to work at the old scale. with their union unrecogniZed, but have been granted the shorter day. Under the terms of the new agreement the eight hour day will be in force after the beginning of the New Year.
 The compromise was made possible through the efforts of the committee appointed by the mayor to investi- gate conditions in the factories and to ascertain the conditions against which the workers were contending During the investigation hundreds of girls and women offered testimony before the committee that they were being compelled to work for five or ten cents per hour. and were charged five cents per week for drinking wa ters and other items which reduced their wages still further.
 The union officials assert that the employers are discriminating against the workers woh offered testimony before the committee and have also refused to reinstate those who were active in organizing the strike.

ANOTHER KILLING
 LAID ID KRAUSE
Detectives Discover that Letter Claim ing Interest in Estate was
 Typed by Krause.

JUNEAU, Dec. 1.-The authori- ties now believe that Edward Krause, suspected of having killed William Christie and several other Alaskans, murdered a Japanese watchman who was formerly employed in the Smith cannery near Wrangell Narrows. The Japanese was known to have consid- erable money on deposit in Vancou- yer bank and shortly before Krause was arvested the attorneys repre- sented a claim from a man named Hartman, who gave his address as Juneau.
 Detectives now claim they have proof that Krause was using the name of Hartman. to defraud the es- tate of the Japanese. The letter to the attorneys is said to have been written on the Blixendorff typewriter used by Krause in writing the note to Mrs. Christie and to the custom s officials.
 The detectives claim that little trouble will be experienced in con- meeting Krause as the last person seen with the missing Japanese and his activity in trying under the alias of Hartman to collect money from the estate.

Will Order Execution of Americans In His Territory if General
 CarranZa is Favored.

FL PASO, Dec. 17 General Will la is again on the rampage and has threatened to lombard Fl Paso and order the execution of all Americans in territory under his control if the United States permits President Car ranza to invade the northern states of Mexico from the United States.
 General Villas troops have suf- fered defeat after defeat during the past few weeks and he has met with reverses in every engagement since his failure to capture Agua Prieta, when for a time it was feared that he would clash with the American troops under General Funston.
 His failure to take Hermosillo has enraged the rebel leader and the re- cent announcement that Carranza would be permitted to transport his troops through American territory to attack his positions from the north has further embittered him against Americans.

NEW GERMAN LAW TO
 MAKE BELGIUM PAY

ROTTERDAM, Dec. 1.-The Ger man government has made a new law continuing the cash acquisitions from Belgian cities. It provides no defi- nite period for the collection, merely specifying that monthly payments of 4O,OOO,OOO francs will be forced ln- til further notice.
 The city of Brussels will be con- pelled to provide $5,400,000 of the monthly total. This is considered by perosns in close touch with the in- dustrial situation in Belgium as sig nificant, the declines in industries there showing that the banking cen ters must bear the chief burden of the enforced contributions.

SENATOR WORKS ID
 SUPPORT PROGRAM
Declares that the Pacific Coast States Are at the Mercy of Japanese
 or Other Nations.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. IT, Senator John D. Works, of Califor- mia, in a speech before the senate yes- terday afternoon on preparedness, told the senate that an army of two million men would be necessary to defend the country from invasion if the United States ever became involv- ed in warfare with foreign nation. He asserts that the Pacific coast is at the mercy of the Japanese or any oth- CT nation which cared to make war on this country and believed that no time should be lost in taking every precaution against invasion.
 Senator Works said he would sup port the administrations national de- fense program and will urge the cre- ation of force of two hundred thou sand men to be stationed on the Pa cific coast. The senator outlined plans which he believes will make service in the army attractive and will end the trouble heretofore expe- perienced by the war department in keeping the regular army to standard. He believes the government should locate the reserves on small tracts of land, each soldier to be given five acres.
 He believes the soldiers should be employed by the government but that they should not be kept in posts as at present but employed in reclaim ing and reforesting the desert lands of the western states. The California senator said that few Americans re- alized how near this country had come to being involved in a war with Japan over the California labor ques- tion.

LANE WANTS MONEY
 F0R ALASKA ROAD Says Construction Work Has Pro. gressed Faster than Anticipated
 and Will Go to Fairbanks.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. IT, Secretary Lane has asked congress to vote an emergency appropriation in order that the Engineering commis- sion may continue construction work on the government railroad in Alas ka during the winter. He told Chair man Fitzgerald, of the finance com mittee, that construction work during the past summer had progressed faster than had been anticipated and asserted that the railroad would surely be built to Fairbanks.
 Chairman Edes, of the commission also appeared before the committee to urge funds being made immediately available for the work. He said that if congress appropriated the neces- sary money that coal from the Mata- nuska fields would be available for the Pacific coast before the close of the coming year. The commission had planned it's work for next year. It includes the completion of the Matanuska coal road, the extension of the Alaska Northern to connect with the Matanuska branch and the extension of the trunk road to the in terior from Matanuska Junction, as far as possible. He believes that more than one hundred miles of track can be built next summer and says that no difficult engineering problems have been met.

General French Forced Out.

BERLIN, Dec. 17.-It is believed here that Gen. French, commanding the British troops in France, was busted on account of difference with Lord Kitchener in regard to the cam paign. It is reported that French was opposed to the recent drive of the Allies to break the deadlock on the Western frontier. The drive re- suited in terrific losses to the Brit ish but no progress was gained as the Germans have recovered all the positions lost during the aggressive movement of the Allies.
