SPORTING COMMENT

Forrest "Heinie" Morrow has an
nounced that he will continue next
season in the management Of the
Clabby A. c. football team. Morrow
talks some of making the team a
travelling organization. He states that
after park rental. help and advertising
are paid it amounts to sufficient to
take a team to Minneapolis and back.
Hammond may not be the best foot
ball town on earth and Morrow may
be right in wanting to take the club
on tour and let the local bugs go
without. but we express a sincere
hope that he won't take us back to
Lafayette. There would have been a
thousand more people to the Pine
Village game if it had been played in
Hammond.
Anyway we think Morrow is bluhing
about this out of town business.

Paris, Sept. 15.-The French gov
ernment has instructed the minister at
Stockholm to join with the other en-
tente ministers in presenting a firm
of neutrality. The note takes issue
in the opposition of Sweden in dis
tinguishing between submarines Of
war and those of commerce, which the
entente affirms has an effect contrary
to neutrality, since the Swedish naval
forces would hesitate to attack Ger
man submarine in Swedish waters
under the, pretext that it might be a
merchant submarine, whereas it would
not hesitate to attack an allied sub
marine. since the allies have no mer-
chant submarines.
The attitude Of Sweden has caused
difficulties with the allies. following

HOPE TO AVERT

But Officials Believe Sympathetic

New York. Sept l5.-Altho union
leaders have virtually abandoned hope
that Mayor Mitchell and the public SER
vice commission may bring about an
amicable settlement of the street car
strike, the belief was strong in official
circles today that some action would
be taken within the next twenty-four
hours to avert the sympathetic strike
of 10000 trade unionists. ..
The central federated union Of Man
haitian will hold special meeting to
consider the aGvisability Of joining in a
strike that will astound New York >
The Brooklyn central labor union, COM

already voted in favor of such a strike.
During the night violence broke out
anew. From midnight to daylight to-
day. Sixth and Ninth avenue cars were
bombarded with bricks, stones and
other missiles.
Service on subway and elevated lines
continued normal but the surface lines

banks III and Compelled to Cancel
Speaking Dates.

Long Branch, n. j., Sept. 15.-Presi-
dent Wilson decided today to take ad-
vantage of the earliest possible oppor-
tunity to challenge the statements made
by Charles E. Hughes in recent
speeches that the basis on which the
settlement of the threatened railroad
strike was made was merely an in
crease Of wages for employees.
The president it was said, will hold
the principle of an eight-hour day was
vtally affected by the strike settlement.
and will seek to show that while the
railroad legislation passed by congress
to meet the situation will give the en-
ployes at least a temporary increase In
pay, the more important point is that
it will establish the eight hour day as
a basis of work for railroad employees.
Mr.. Wilson expects to make clear
that he will not be satisfied until con-
eress enacts into the law the rest Of
the railroad legislation he recommended
when the strike was threatened. in
cluding the increase in the interstate
commerce commission and an investi-
cation Of differences between railways
and their employees before strikes or
lockouts are called.
President Wilson received word to-
day that his sister, Mrs. Anna E. Howe,
who is III at New London, Conn, was
sinking rapidly. Tentative plans were
made Immediately for his departure for
New London later today.

Marshfield, Ore, Sept. 15.-Wrapped
in flames. the Pacific coast liner Con-
gress stands two miles off Coos Bay

passengers and crew of 10.
The fate Of those on board has not
been definitely determined. but it is
believed that all have been rescued
by the Colonel p. S. Niche. a bar
dredge.
The Niche went to sea in answer
to an S. o. S. and was accompanied
by the steamer Tillamook. The Niche
and Tillamook are reported coming in,
and this is taken to mean that all the
passengers have been rescued.
Life savers and boats from the
Niche had been working for nearly
an hour. Six lifeboats were used in
the rescue.
The lighthouse keeper reported that
when the first life boat was lowered
the decks and bow Of the Congress
were crowded with frantic passengers.
The smoke was so dense that the ship
could not be seen at times.
The first call for assistance was re-
ceiyed here about O'clock. Fire had
been discovered on the Congress in
hold No. 8. While ships here were be-
ing prepared for a dash to the rescue,
the Congress made for Marshfield. The
liner then was some distance out.
At 6 o'clock flames broke out amid
ships.
When the Congress first came within
sight Of fhe lighthouse black smoke
was pouring out Of the vessel, but no
flames were visible from shore. Now
the sky is red from the burning ship.

Another blockade measure Is the
recent arrangement under which
bureaus were set up in England ana
France for granting licenses for ex-
change Of goods which figure on the
list of prohibited imports. The Am
erican authorities contend that under
the Britisha- American commercial

be enforced equally against all coun-
tries. Consequently any privileges
granted to France and not extended to
the United States are held to be in
violation Of that treaty.
