eminent, He Says.

Athens, April 16, (via Paris. April 40.
@Eliptherios Venizelos, the former pre-
mier, in an article in today's Herald
says the existing government and pres
ent difficulties Of the country are due
to efforts of royaists, working with
self interested politicians to nullify the
results of the revolution of 1909 and
to deprive the people OF effective self
government at whatever price to
Greece. He ADDS:
1.-THE reason for the present attitude
of Greece towards the warning nations
lies in the belief of the monarchists
that victory by Germany will forward
their cause, while a victory of the en-
tente powers would force Greece back
again into the way of constitutionalism,
wherein lies the only salvation of pop
ular government in Greece

TRADE BOARD TO

Investigating Body of Senate
Finds That Is Most Accept
able Way of Handling
Difficulty.

Washington, D. c.. April 17.-With-
out discussion the Senate today
adopted Senator RansdelIs resolution
directing the federal trade commission
to supervise distribution Of the avail
able sisal in Yucatan. hi commits
sion is ready to undertake the work.
The action is OF much Importance to
the granger states which use binder
Irvine.
The commission, representing yuca-
tan farmers, asked the Senate commit
tee to oversee the sale Of the crop, but
IL e not come within the province
OF q legislative body. Chairman Davies.
of the federal commission, has Informed
Senator Ransdell that it has the ma
chlnery to proceed with the distribu-
Llon and VIII sem two men to Yucca
tan. Senator Ransdell will introduce
a resolution to put the trade commits
sion in charge.
w. 3. Spencer, counsel for the Yu-
ca'an commission, announced tina the
plan would be satisfactory to him, in
slstIng that the entire domestic demand
be supplied before any sisal was sold
for export. Representatives of several
tWine companies appeared at the hear
ing today to enter their orders for SiSal.
Legge, general manager of
the International Harvester company,
introduced a statement denying that his
company had any interest in Irvine ex-
cept to supply it TO the farmer at the
lowest cost, with a reasonable manu-
~facturer's profit. He charged tina if
the Yucatan commission were approved
by the investigating committee, il
would be able to fix any terms of credit
and prices it wished.
The increased price of sisai already
made will compel American farmers to
pay more than $4,000, coo more for
binder twine this year. he said.

PLAN EARLY MOVEMENT
OF GREAT FRUIT CROP

Washington, April 17.-The Inter
state Commerce commission today
called the attention of railroads to the
need of having on hand a sufficient
supply of refrigerator cars for the
movement of early crop of fruit and
vegetables from the south. The at
tention of the commission had been
called TO a threatened serious short
age of such cars.
Tho Importance of having refriger-
ator cars for the movement of these

sion statement, and there would seem
to be no good reason for diverting cars
which are intended for that purpose to
other uses"

According to the dispatches thus far

N. Y. VOTE A SOLACE
Hughes Has Consolation of Showing
Made in Home State.

New York, Nov. 11-Outwardly at
least, Charles Evans Hughes isn't
showing any signs of disappointment
over indications that he has just lost
out on the biggest job in America.
The man who said two days before the
election-''If 1 am elected-as 1 ex-
pect to be- and said it with convic-
ton ringing in his voice-was just as
imperturbably unconcerned as when
short six months ago he sat on the
bench of the supreme court of the
United States in judicial calm There
was no doubt that Hughes was greatly
moved Wednesday, when after hav-
ing gone to bed Tuesday night con-
WINGED he was elected, he awakened
to find his opponent chosen. But to-
day had no signs of discomposure
or disappointment.
Mrs. Hughes Takes Defeat Calmly.
No one has been a greater factor in
maintaining smooth balance in the
Hughes camp than Mrs. Hughes-her
husbands adviser, comforter and con-
slant companion in all the hard work
of the campaign.
One thing that Hughes has told his
frie nds warmed his heart greatly was
the handsome majority which his own
home state of New York accorded
him.
Neither Hughes nor his personal
staff have yet conceded Wilson's cleo
ton. They are waiting for the Off
cial count. They are particularly in
terested in the enormous increase in
CALIFORNIA; total vote and it is I'M

days and then will depart for some
quiet spot nearby, to rest 1t is prob
able they will go to Mont Clair. n. I.

HE ENJOYED FIGHT
That's What Wilson Tells Will
liams College Students.
President Attends Christening
of Youngest Grandchild.

Williamstown, Mass, Nov. IL
President Wilson broke the silence he
has maintained since the election in
replying to a boisterous greeting of
welcome from the students of Will
liamS college here to say that he had
enjoyed the political fight just ended.
Politics is the only means we have
of expressing opinions we think to be of
advantage to the country he said. 81
enjoyed this fight, but after all a man
who is not willing to fight for the
thinks he believes in is without the
red-blooded qualities to accomplish
results
81 came here to forget the field of
politics for day and it is very gra-
cious and delightful to be received in
this manner"
The impromptu ceremony took
place on the lawn in front of the cot
tage home of Francis B. Sayre and as
frequently as occasion permitted, the
students interrupted the speakers with
college yells.
A second demonstration, more DO
litical in character, followed. Delega-
/ tions headed by several bands of mu-
sic came from Adams, North Adams,
Bennington, VT, and other surround
ing points until the college campus
was crowded.
In response to demand for a
speech, he said:
Let us remember, now that the
campaign is over, to get together for
the common good of all and not mere
ly for the good of parties. Let us be
ready to devote ourselves to the com
mon service of our great country
which has given us liberty and peace
Attends Christening.
President Wilson came here to at
tend the christening of his youngest
grandchild, Baby Eleanor Arson
Sayre, the infant daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. The cere-
mony took place at ST. Johns Episco-
pal church during the afternoon
Only members of the family and a few
intimate friends were admitted to the
church.
Baby Sayre was given the name OF
her grandmother, President Wilson'S
first wife. The godmothers were Miss
Margaret Wilson, Mrs. William C. Nc
Adoo, Mrs E. H. Sayre and Miss
Blanche Nevin. President Wilson
and John Nevin were made goliath
ers.
| After the christening, President and
Mrs. Wilson walked to the home OF
former President Garfield, a short dis
lance from the church, where they
were guests for tea. Later they
walked back to the Sayre home.

Baseball Head Urges Magnates
to Show Some Sense.
Minor League Owners Need
Better Business Methods.

Sexton, president of the national as
ISOLATION of minor baseball leagues,
whose annual meeting is to be held in
New Orleans, next Tuesday, in a letter
mailed today to officers and members
of the national association recon-
mended several reforms for the ma
tional pastime.
He protested against '1oose and I'M
businesslike methods of club owners
in the management of their clubs"
particularly in cities where public
spirited people form corporations to
insure baseball for their respective
communities
why speculate on a big income
from the sale and draft of players at
the close of the season., the letter
says, '.only to wake up and find that
few if any players have been de-
veloped?
why permit your manager to order
in an army of players for spring prac-
Iice many weeks before your season is
to open, taking chances on bad spring
weather, and frequently releasing
most of them, without a fair trial? ?
Would it not be economy to restrict
all leagues to a one, two or three
weeks practice season and to a rea-
sonable number of men, thus giving
each club an even start?
II think it is time for our members,
particularly from Class down to
cease trying to emulate tn methods
of the ma or leagues
