NO GASOLINE IN SPRINGFIELD SUNDAY
Blue Laws Are Being Enforced in
 Massachusetts City

Springfield. May 22-Yesterday the sale of gasolene on Sunday in this city became strictly illegal. The po- lice started taking names of offenders and motorists who bought.
 Springfield awol<e in the morning to find that overnight it had become a city to be summed by all motorists who have great deal of regard for the law of the land and very little gaso1ene in their tanks.
 Motorists, garage owners and auto mobile dealers in Springfield and for miles around were startled when official announcements were published in the local papers announcing that garage owners and others who sell gasolene will be prosecuted if they sell the motor fuel on Sundays.
 Sunday the ruling went into effect It Is based on one of the city's old Sunday "blue laws refurbished and brought up to date to include the sale of gaso1ene, which probably had not been invented when the law was passed.
 Take Names and Numbers.
 Every policeman leaving headquar- ters was instructed to take the name and address of every garage owner or gasolene salesman who was ob- served selling gasolene during the day and the name or license number of every automobilist who was seen purchasing it. They were told not to make any arrests.
 When, in the course of patrolling the town, the police observed a ma chine driven up to a gasolene dis pensing tank, out came the notebook and the names were recorded.
 At police headquarters nothing was to be learned as to what disposition will be made of the people thus i'm plicated. The police said that the object of the first days watching was to establish which of the gasolene selling places were to be trusted to carry out the published order.
 Local businessmen believe that if this law Is rigid1y enforced, the city will be given an unenviable reputa- ton and will be avoided by thou sands of the tourists.

No Definite Exchanges Are to
Be Made by Old Fox Until

MiIIers Particularly Anxious to

May Be Granted.
BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

Manager Griffith and Mike Can
tillon, associated with his Brother
Joe in the. ownership of the Min
neapolis American Association Clup,
conferred today at some length con-
cerning players that the Washing
ton club may let go before the 1915
campaign begins. The Old Fox
said that he had not made any de-
cisions in respect to these players
because he could not very well until
he returned from the New York
meeting next week.
''Cantillon want some ball players.
explained Grlff, but I can't say yes
or no about ccrta n of them right now.
I expect to continue the same friendly
relations with the Minneapolis club next
season that | did last"
The Millcrs want Harry Holland left
in Minneapolis, and he very likely will
be. They would also like Henri Ron
deau back again. but there Is sma II
chance Of this. Even If Rondcau fails
10 hang on with the Griffmen. at least
two other clubs will take him at the
waiver price and try him out 1t looks
as if Minneapolis had lost all chance
OF getting ROndeau.
Morley Jennings would look good at
short for the Millers, too, and if he
fails to land here, it is likely that he
will return. When he got Joe Gedeon,
Bill Donovan lost all desire to look at
Jennings.
IF Manager Griffith does not succeed
In arranging certain deals with other
clubs. he may release to Minneapolis
those players for whom he will have
no use. He has not had much trouble
getting waivers from other major
league clubs.

Clayton act to such an extent
that we are now in the grip of
some Of the most rapacious
trusts in the world.
when | sought to get the
Government to prosecute them
for violating the antitrust law
the Department of Justice could
not find sufficient evidence, al
though the Secretary of the In
terror, the Bureau of Mines, and
the Federal Trade Commission
invested the subject and report
ed there was no natural or eco
nomic cause for the increase in
prices and it must be due to
monopolization.
1.-THE paper trust has gradual
~ raised the price of paper so
that many of the smaller news
papers may have to go out OF
business. The settlers who fur
nish the pulp wood have been
paid the same old price but the
manufacturer has doubled the
selling price.
1.-THE latest product of Demo
cratic legislation and policy, the
binder Irvine trust-the Commits
sion del Mercado de Henequin
Regulators of Yucatan-con-
trolls absolutely the worlds 81
sal supply out of which binder
Irvine is made. This trust was
organized blythe military GO
vernon of Yucatan and was APP;
proved by Carranza. 1t was fl
nanced in the United States with
approval of the State Depart
ment. Norman Lind, whose ia
tehr, John Lind, was sent as
President Wilson's personal re-
preventative to Mexico, is its
American representative. This
trust has already doubled the
price of binder Irvine. In the
state of Minnesota alone it has
haised the price from 3R cents
to 7 cents and refuses to quote
prices for next season lower
than 10 cents. Minnesota far
mers use approximately $4,000
900 pounds of Irvine annually,
and this means an extra tax OF
at least 10 cents an acre or more
than a million dollars on the
farmers of this one state. This
money, wrung from American
farmers, will not go to the poems
of Yucatan in increased wages
but to Carranza. It will help
him buy nor arms and ammuni-
