Credit for sisler

George Sisler is probably more responsible for the sudden flight of the Browns toward the flag than any other player. Sisler is already a recognized star. Though this is only his second year as profess sional ball player, he is regarded as the best player in the league next to Ty Cobb and has been picked as the successor to the great Tyrus. Sisler can do anything with a base ball. He can hit and run bases and play first base and pitch. He won a game against Walter John son last season. Sisler never ar gues with an umpire, and does not make a peep from the time game starts until it is over.

MEXICAN MEDTATORS
AND AMERICANS MEET
Credentials Exchanged - With.
drawal of Troops Among
First Subjects Discussed

NEW LONDON, Sept. 6.--After the
formal exchange Of credentials, the Amer
lean and Mexican commissioners meeting
here today reached the beginning of the
series of discussions designed to establish
a new understanding between the nations.
In accordance with the tentative program
It was decided that questions affecting the
boundary, the withdrawal OF American
troops and an agreement for adequate pro-
lection of the border from bandit raids
would be disposed of before any other phase
Of tho problem would be considered
All the commissioners are eager to let
the question of financing the Mexican de
faCto Government walt until every other
question has been acted on and the action
of the commissions referred to their Gov
ernments for ratification.
II was pointed out that this is because
bankers desire to have the entire situation
settled before they consider attempting to
sell n large Mexican loan here or abroad.
Unless the deliberations are concluded
prior to October /. 1t Is possible that the
zone Of the meetings will have TO be shifted.
The summer hotel where they are staying
and where their meetings are held may
close at that time they have been informed.

HUGHES RESTS; PLANS
NEW ATTACK ON WILSON
Republican Candidate Considers
More Assaults Based on 8-Hour
Law-Reaching a Climax

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 6.--Today was
rest day for Candidate Hughes. Not sim
gle speech was scheduled and the Repub-
lican nominee and his wife planned to take
things easy preparatory to strenuous five
day wind-up to his transcontinental trip in
New England and New York
Hughes was in Cleveland for over an
hour early in the morning, but slept through
his stay and had late breakfast.
1t wasn't until the last two days-dur-
ing his invasion of the South---that Hughes
really began to burn things up in his cam
paign. Apparently the nominee is Just now
beginning to reach his maximum efficiency
as a campaigner. The one speech which
he delivered across the continent, has now
been expanded by the candidate into half
a dozen.
From now on he plans to emphasize and
concentrate on his criticism of what he
terms the tendency of the Democratic Ad-
minstration to overthrow the rule OF rea.
son in government, laying particular stress
upon the recent eight-hour law rushed
through Congress in settlement OF the rail-
road strike.
1t is known the Governor feels very
strongly against this measure. He pro-
poses to go even further than he has in
speeches at Nashville and Lexington in tear
ing this piece of legislation TO pieces. Some
Democratic capaign literature just issued
Is also to come in for a large share OF
attention from the Republican standard
bearer, He classes a large number of the
achievements scheduled as having been ac-
compllshed through Democratic aid, as in
the class with "eXtravagant claims" on the
clarifcation of the antitrust law through
the Federal trade commission act.

1000 LAWYERS SEEKING
FLAW IN S-HOUR LAW
Railroads Counsel Try to Find
if Ground Exists for
Attack on Bill

NEW YORK, Sept. 6--Someth ng like
1000 Of the best lawyers in the country
were at work yesterday In the general
Offices of the 225 interstate carriers affected
by President Wilson's eight-hour day law,
seeking to determine If any good ground
exists for an attack on it's constitutionality.
That fact was cited by railroad officials
here as an answer-the only answer the
roads care to make at this tme-to reports
from Washington concerning supposed at
tempt at a dicker through which, by an
unqualified, hands-down acceptance of the
measure, the carriers hope to win material
concessions from the four brotherhoods.
AS the situation now stands the general
counsel has become bigger man than the
railroad president and the managers con-
ference committee representative put to-
gether. II Is for him to say whether or
not the 500, ,O0O. .O00-a-year law is to be
permitted to stand.
"The lawyer" as one official put it. lis
the boss now. None of the rest of us dares
to talk"
Ira A. Place, vice president in charge of
the law department of the New York Cen
trail. was appealed to-
II can't say a thing about what proce-
dure will be taken by the railroads" he
said. II don't know and | don't think any
one else is quite sure, just now"
There are two big questions which the
general counsels and their staffs will have
to decide before January l, 1917, when the
eight hour law becomes operative. One is
as to the possibility of enjoining the Fed
eral Government from putting the law into
force-for some such action may follow a
decision to put the question of constitution
aiity up to the Supreme Court The second
IS of course, as to the possibility OF having
the eight-hour day overthrown in that
tribunal.

Legislation in Shipping
and Revenue Bills
GIVE UNOFFICIAL HINTS
Action of American Government
Called Unexpected and
Revolutionary

WASHINGTON, Sept 6.--Europe's chan.
cellerles are deeply concerned over the dras-
tic enactments contained in the Administra-
TONS shipping bill and in the revenue meas
ure approved by the Senate early today
placing retaliatory weapons in the hands OF
President Wilson. Through their diplomatic
representatives here they are following
closely this legislation. which will permit
President Wilson to substitute for passive
diplomacy a policy OF reprisal against all
nations discriminating against American
trade.
The action OF this Government is revo-
lutionary and entirely uneSpected II per-
mits the President to back up United states
malls and boycott demands In way that
will prove distinctly embarrassing to the
Entente Allies.
POWERS DISCRETIONARY
While unofficial suggestions have been
made by certain of the embassies that these
provisions violate existing trade agreements,
they have not been received with any de-
gree of warmth at the State Department.
1t has been pointed out that the powers
given the President under the proposed laws
are in every way discretionary He can
utilize them II the necessity arises but they
can be put into effect only in the manner
recognized by international law.
The fact that these amendments have
been fathered by Senators James, Thomas
and Phelan. thick and thin supporters of
the Administration, is accepted as indicat-
ing that they have the approval of the
President and Secretary Of State Lansing
coRREcTs MAIL DELAYS
II has been known for some time that the
delay on the part of Great Britain and
France in giving relief to the protest against
the unnecessary detention and rihing of
American mails to and from this country has
been source OF irritation to the State De
partment.
But there was nothing that this Govern
ment could do under the circumstances. But
If tho provisions read into the revenue bill
remain unchanged--and officials expect that
they wlll-then the Administration can en-
force a reply that will be satisfactory to it
and end the intolerable interference with
mails that are in no way subject to the
operations OF warfare.
