NATIONAL MUST
BE STRENGTHENED
.TENER DECLARES

New York, Oct. 19.-The National
League must be strengthened, in the opln-
ion of President Tener. Mr.. Tener says
he believes the 2l-player limit has worked
against the league in worlds series
games and that the limit will be increas-
ed next year.
There is no use in the National League
making any excuses or giving any ali
bis" said Mr.. Tener. I'VE have played
poor ball, very poor ball, in the last Sc
ries. The pitchers held up, but that was
all. In my annual message to the club
presidents l have called attention to the
fact that the National League does NOT
get it's prestige in the executive office,
but on the ball field. That is where the
public judges US.
Every effort must be made all arounc
to strengthen the league. These recent
defeats have stung and with each de-
feat we are all the more eager to turn
the tide. / want every one in the league,
presidents, managers and players, to aim
for National League victory next fall.
mo one can very we'll tell whether the
H-player limit has injured us in compe-
tition with the American League. The
limit Is matter which the men with the
money invested must settle for them
selves. Personally believe it has work
ed against the National League and /
think by next season the player limit in
our league will be increased
1t was reported today that President
Tener. Harry Hampstead. the president OF
the New York National League club, and
John McGraw. the clubs manager, will
meet here to talk over McGraw's criti-
cism of the New York players in their
final series with Brooklyn. AS a result
of this conference a decision may be
reached as to whether the National
League shall investigate McGraw's accu-
sation that his men were playing in in
different fashion.

HOWARD'S
SQUADS PLACED
IN QUARANTINE

Cambridge, Mass, Oct 19.-Members of
the first and second Harvard football
squads were placed under a partial quar-
antine tonight as result of the discovery
that Edwin CHM of Winchester. halfbach
on the second team, had developed symp-
toms of infantile paralysis. The MEM
bers of the squads have been placed un-
der observation and will not be permit
ted to leave Cambridge or to attend any
social functions though they may go to
classroom work and football practice as
usual.
In statement issued tonight, DR.. Rog-
err l. Lee, professor of hygiene, said the
football game with the Massachusetts,
Agricultural college eleven arranged for
next Saturday would be played according
to schedule. the authorities of the agri-
cultural college having decided that the
paralysis was not serious enough to war
rant cancellation of the contest. Accord
ing to DR.. Lee. CHM, who has been at the
Stillman Infirmary since Oct. II. had
shown some paralysis symptoms and has
been given a spinal injection Of serum,
but the disease has not developed def1-
nitely. There are no other cases or sus-
pected cases in the university.
In addition to the football squads, as
sociates of CHM in Claverly hall. one Of
the buildings occupied by the Weather

CHANCELLOR MCkENNA SPEAKS
PLAINLY IN HOUSE OF COMMONS
IN REGARD TO TREASURY BONDS

London, Oct 19.-Reginald McKenna,
chancellor of the exchequer, replying
in the House of Commons today to
criticism of the high rate of interest
payable on the new treasury bonds and
the objection raised that this would lead
to their being largely held abroad. said:
That is the very thing We desire.
1t must be remembered that We had to
pay a very considerable amount day by
day in the United States. At present we
have to find 100000 a day for ev-
cry working day. That means a prodi-
gious amount to find every six days
1t is not possible" he said, Ito
apply pre-war standards and to say
that five per cent is enough to pay on
treasury bonds. or that we could get
1t more cheaply. Very likely it could
be done If we only wanted a little or
even the equivalent of the greatest sum
ever raised before the war. 1t should
be remembered, however. we hav to
raise a maximum sum about once a
month and it is only possible to find out
by the daily examination of the results
Of borrowing and payments, whether we
are successful in meeting our obliga-
tons. In order to meet all expenses
and to keep our undertakings with our
allies. l have to make sure Of getting
money"

PEACE BASED ON
ISELF-RESPECT IS
HUGHES POLICY

Saginaw, Mich, Oct. 19.-Charles E.
Hughes delivered two speeches at Bay
City today He assailed the adminis-
tration for the Underwood tariff and
the Adamson law and repeated his de-
NAL of the charge that a vote for him
meant a vote for war.
Men are going abroad in this land.s'
Mr.. Hughes said, Saying that vote
for me is a vote for war, because L
have criticized weakness and vaccilation
on the part of the administration. A
vote for me is vote for permanent
peace based on self-respect and the es-
TEEN and respect to others.
We have but one desire and that is
an intense desire to go along in our
peaceful pursuits, promoting our pros
perity and having just distribution Of
the gains Of labor. by having a prosper
ity upon which We can build a structure
of social justice. Everyone desires
peace. No one more than I. Why, 1
have devoted all my life to the insti-
tutions of peace; institutions that deal
with a peaceful settlement of contro-
versies.
But in this world you have got to
proper preparations against every emer-
gency, but you have got to maintain
your security by winning the confidence
and esteem of other nations. We can
not do that II we do not maintain the
dignity Of our own citizenship.
If you want to know the way things
ought not to be done, look at the way
In which they were done in Mexico.
That, to my mind. is an illustration that
stands out in bold relief of the policies
OF this administration. It was a med
ding with matters that did not con-
Germ US. 1t was a failure to maintain
rights"

HUGHES FAVOR|TE
IN STRAW VOTE
AT BOWD0|N

Brunswick Me-, Oct. 19.-Hughes is
the favorite Of the Bowdoin students
nearly to 1, according to a straw vote
taken in the fraternity houses last eve-
ming. There were 234 votes for Hughes,
50 for Wilson and s for Benson, the So
cialiSt candidate. These same precincts
last May before the national conventions
gave IA for Roosevelt. a apiece for
Hughes and Wilson and IL for Root
which would indicate that the Bull
Moosers among the students have re-
turned the Republican standard.
OF the students who voted last night
next month, and Of this number there
are Sc Republicans. II Democrats and
one Socialist. There was one vote cast
for Hanly. the Prohibition candidate
At the opening meeting Of the Repub-
lican Club Tuesday evening, the Hughes
strength of the college was estimated
at about three-quarters and the straw
vote bears out this guess The facul-
ty was almost evenly divided in the
matter, members being prominent in
both parties. In the spring election the
faculty was 55 per cent. Republican
The student body is 70 per cent Re-
publican.
The voting was carried on at each
house separately. and Hughes carried
every house on the campus. The most
closely contested group was the Bow
doin Club which returned Is votes for
Hughes, II for Wilson and one for
Benson
1t is said that Huan Shang Tang, the
Chinaman who has been in this coun-
try less than month. was approached
by both parties who pressed their case
/ strongly. and not having been sufi-
GENTLY posted on the relative merits Of
the Republicans and Democrats he went
Socialist. Delta Epsilon, which is
Hughes own fraternity, went Republic
can 35 to and Alpha Delta Phi went
20 to 2 Republican.

SOUTHERN STATES
RECOVERING FROM
TERRIFIC STORM
Two Deaths, Property and Ma
rine Losses Are Results

q Mobile, Ala, Oct. 19.-Southern Ala
bama and western Florida were recov-
ering today from the hurricane which
swept out of the Gulf across this coast
yesterday, causing two deaths and
property and marine losses. Although
the wind attained a greater velocity
than that which accompanied the storm
of last July both Mobile and Pensaco-
la, the chief cities in the hurricanes
path, suffered far less damage. The to-
tai loss in the two cities probably Will
not exceed 100000. The chief damage
here. was to railroad sheds and termi-
nails and to telephone. telegraph and
electric light and power wires.
At Pensacola the government aero
plant escaped but grain elevator was
badly damaged and railroad ware
house and other buildings unroofed.
The electric light plant also was put
out of commission and all wires were
down for IL hours. Train service from
Pensacola to Jacksonville will be sus-
pended for week.
Marine damage was heavy both in
this harbor and at Pensacola. Two
small vessels here sank while four
others were driven ashore. In addition
number of small craft were Destroy
ed. At Pensacola one steamer went
down, another is missing. with>the fate
of the crew undetermined, three fish
ing boats were blown ashore and two
big freighters were damaged when
blown. together during the gale. A
cook on the sunken steamer was
drowned but the others of the crew
were rescued.
Although the storms intensity de-
creased as it swept inland, southern
Alabama suffered considerably. The
citrus fruit crop in this state and Flor
ida apparently did not suffer to any
great extent. AS the storm swept
through Alabama and western Georgia
it was accompanied by two distinct
earthquake shocks which were felt as
far north as Louisville. KY, and as far
east as Augusta, Ga. The tremors were
more decided at Birmingham than else
where and there thousands Of persons
rushed from their homes and Offices.
Material damage was reported.

Mr.. McKenna proceeded to explain
that unless Great Britain was able to
raise the needed money in the United
States she would have to go short of
supplies from there which were abso-
lutely essential to the purposes of the
Allies.
Defending the issues of the per
cent. bonds, the chancellor mentioned
the fact that within a fortnight these
treasury bonds had been sold to the
extent of 100000 pounds.
He added that the present moment Of
competition for money was unfavorable
to the issue of long term loan, but
the government intended to resort to
such loan when the treasury consid-
cred advisable and the government
would not shrink from the fulfilment
of its promise in regard to the con-
version of previous loans.
The chancellor declared he did not
doubt the ability Of the Empire to bear
the strain of the war. It's expenditure
was not diminishing. he stated, there
being an advance under the two heads
Of munitions and advances to Great
Britain's allies, but in both Of these
directions he was confident the country
would not grudge the needful supplies,
