NEW YORK, Dec. 1sy-The Federal
League has nRreed to withdraw tts suit
nsninst organized baseball. A repre-
sentative left New York for Chicago
this afternoon and will hold n confer
cnce with Judge Lands tomorrow. II
In believed TINT the legal snnri will he
unrnvcied Monday and permanent peace
established between the three orgnn-
tzntiOns.
This action came mn hour after ths
mnEnntes called the meeting this morn
ing. Organised baseball probably nc
cepted the terms of tho "outinwr." for
the withdrawal of the suit shows that
the Feds nrc sure Of their position or
they would not give mp their trump
card.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1s-when the war
ring powers of baseball gathered them
selves together in the Waldorf today for
their second confab, two huge obstacles,
seemingly insurmountable, barred their
way toward the goal OF peace
One was organized baseballs reitera-
ton OF the ultlmatum that 1t would do
nothing definite concerning n peace pact
until the Feds have withdrawn their suit
asking for the dissolution of organized
baseball. The Feds asert that they will
not withdraw this suit until they are
absolutely assured that peace will be
made and under the conditions already
outlined. Tho Feds take the position that
IL they withdrew the suit before peace
actually was consummated, IL would re-
lIeve them of the club which they have
held over the heads OF organized baseball
Second Obstacle
The second obstacle was that placed i'm
the roadway toward the goal that base-
ball Is seeking by Carol w. Rasin, owner
of tho Baltimore Feds. RasIn asserted
todaT that he would stand pat on his
ultimatum Of yesterday-that Baltimore
must he n major league town.
81 asked at last nights conference to
have the ST. Louis Cardinals transferred
10 Baltimore" said Rasin. "This PROPOSE
tion was turned dow. Today I insist that
If we cannot get tho ST. Louis franchise
that We he given some other major
league franchise Baltimore in size Is
meior league city, and we insist upon
hHvir" major league hnll thorc"
II did not seem likely that the mag
mates would reach any definite agreement
today. and IL was very probable that
they would adjourn tonight until after
the holidays without having actually ac-
compished their purpose-the signing UP
of peace treaty.
Wants to Go Home
Harry Sinclair, who lives i'm Tulsa,
Okla, wants to get home for Christmas.
Other magnates. who have been here for
week. are anxious to get home, and
unless the deal Is closed tonight there
promises to he such n big break in the
ranks of peace delegates that only
corporal's guard would be left to carry
on further negotiations at this meet
ing.

prepared to the German reply to the
Lusitania note. Acting Secretary Rob-
ert Lansing will sign the document
and II. will be cabled to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan returned to private
life June 9, when his resignation took
effect. 1t was learned that he Intends
to continue his political support OF the
president.
Rather than sign the document he
believed might possibly draw the
,rr,*<ed States into war, Mr.. Bryan sub
mitted his resignation in a letter ae .,
o,aring mn "the issue involved Is OF
sueb moment that to remain d mem
Der Of the cabln,>t would be as Unfair
~ vou 40 # would be 10 the cause
which is nearest my %ies'" n""
the prevention Of war;" ,.
The president accepted tRe ,esis
nation in a letter of regret, tinsed
with deem personal feeling Of wv
ton. 2,
Dramatically the official relation OF
Mr.. Bryan with the administration or
he man whose nomination he assist
ed so materially in bringing about at
the Baltimore convention OF 1912 came
to an end. 1t caused a sensation IN
the national capital scarcely parallel
ed In recent years. Ambassadors,
ministers and diplomatists from for
eign lands, officials of every rank and
station, heard the news as 1t was
flashed by newspaper extras. They
interpreted variously its effect on the
delicate situation that had arisen be-
tween Germany and the United States.
The resignation of the stanchest ad-
yocate of peace in the presidents Of
fetal family spread broadcast the be-
lief that the policy Of the United
States as definitely determined upon
would assert and defend the rights OF
the United States in any eventually
that might arise.
That there had been friction be-
tween the president and Mr.. Bryan
has been the undercurrent OF com
ment for several weeks, but as the
president heretofore had always been
able to secure the acquiescence OF the
secretary in his point of view, talk OF
resignation was discounted generally.
Robert Lansing, successor to John
Bassett Moore as counsellor of the
state department, became secretary
OF state ad interim June 9, when Sec
rotary Bryan's resignation took Ell
feet. He is a s~on-in-law Of John W
Foster, secretary of state under Pres
ident Harrison, a lifelong Democrat
and has been an international lawyer
