Political Notes

New York, Sept S.-wiliian R. will
cox, chairman of the Republican Ma
tionaI COMMITTEES, today termed as very
weak. indeed" the speech delivered
Saturday by President Wilson in Shadow
Lawn, N. J.
II haven't time to 20 into a detailed
discussion of the Presidents address"
he asserted. but on its very face the
speech lacked conviction. 1t was weak
as regards defense OF the eight-hour
bill Those who have analyzed It have
found that the speech contains contradic-
tons"
John wanamaker conferred with the
chairman late in the afternoon. 1t was
an informal discussion. .-
Mr. Wilcox said that the advisory
committee Of the National Committee
would meet about October 10, probably
in Chicago. to prepare final plans for
the campaign.
New York, Sept. S.-Representative
Frank E. Doremus, of Michigan, arrived
In town today and at once claimed that
the Democrats would have a majority OF
at least fifty in the next House. Doremus
is chairman Of the Congressional Com
mtttee. He said he had received re-
ports which indicate the Democrats would
add at least twenty-five more Congress-
men to their list in November.
I'VE will gain two in Michigan, two in
West Virginia, three in New Jersey, one
In North Carolina, two IN Connecticut,
one in Kansas, two in Nebraska, three in
Illinois, and probably six in Ohio" he de-
clared.
Chairman Vance Mccormick. Of the
Democratic National Committee. was
equally confident concerning the re-elec-
ton OF President Wilson.
I'VE will carry Indiana" was one Of
the statements made by Mccormick.
Dudley Field Malone, collector Of the
port of New York, has Just wired me
from California, where he Is campaigning'
that he feels certain the President will
carry that State. I am not making any
claims for Michigan, but Mr.. Doremus
told me upon his arrival today that there
was a wonderful amount of quiet senti-
ment for the President there, and that he
would carry the State"
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. S.-Charles W.
Fairbanks, Republican candidate for Vice
President, left his home here today on a
Western speaking tour, which will carry

RELEASE u. S. TROOPER
CBy the international News Service


Columbus, N. NJ, sept. IA contro-
versary which may become serious has
arisen between Gen. Pershing and the
Carranza commander at El Vale as a re-
suit OF a shooting affair in a saloon in
which a CarranZa sergeant was killed,
according to reports received here today
from base headquarters.
Gen. Pershing has demanded the re-
lease OF an American trooper whom Mex
lean officers charge with the killing, and
the demand has been refused.
A version of the affair, obtained today
from persons arriving from base head
quarters, was that several members of
the Chicago Fifth Cavalry entered a sa-
loon at El Vale. Shortly afterward. some
Carranzistas came in and the two parties
became involved in a quarrel over a re-
mark made by one Of the Mexicans. In
the shooting that followed. according to
reports. a Mexican sergeant was killed.

BY J. ED GR1LLo.

Bill James. one of the three hurlers who
helped the Braves to victory in 1914, and
who has been out of the running for
two years because his arm went back on
him, expects to come back strong. James
who is in California at present. recently
gave his arm a try-out by pitching five
innings against the Chico club in the Cali
spoud that he held his opponents score
less for his occupancy of the box. and he
is confident that 1t is once more as good
as ever. HIS return to form would mean
much to the Braves in the 1917 race.
According to rumors that appear to be
we'll founded there will be changes in
both major league umpire stats before
the season opens in the spring. Presidents
Tener and johnson have not announced
their selections and will not until the mid
winter meeting. Both have been swarmed
with applications for positions, though 1t
has been generally supposed that few per-
sons care for the work, which is consid-
cred disagreeable. In American League
circles the tip is out that Ollie Chill, the
smallest Of the major league arbiters.
is TO be let out by Ban johnson. The
latter has not given any intimation that
he plans such a move. but the rumor will
not down. Such a report sprang up while
the base ball season was on. and the re-
cent appointment of George Mooriarity as
a member of the Johnson staff has
strengthened the belief that Chill is to be-
let go. His small stature is a handtca %
and managers have complained that he is
too offictous in his work.

He stands a chance for the pennant in

DECLARED TO BE UNFAIR.
Allegations Against Efficiency of
National Guard system CHALLENGED

Deductions as to the inefficiency of
the National Guard system drawn by
the army general staff from the re-
port on the mobilization of the state
forces for border service. were sharply
challenged by members of the House
military committee today. when pre-
chief of staff. Several committeeman
insisted it was unfair to attempt to
judge the guard as organized under
the act put through last June by tho
showing made at the border mobiliza-
ton. since it was the old organized
militia, and not the National Guard,
which was turned out for that service
Gen. Scott asserted that every
military man he knew agreed that the
same defects were to be expected in
the federalized guard He sought to
defer discussion of specific points,
however. until he concluded the read
ing of a prepared statement based on
the mobilization report already made
public. 1t was indicated that the officer
would be compelled to face sharp cross
examination tomorrow when the hear
ing is resumed.

GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE
Comiskey Reappoiats Rowland Man
ager of White Sox and Expects
Pennant as Reward.

CHICAGO. Nl, December 2o-Clar-
ence Rowland again will lead the
White Sox base ball cohorts on the
held Of battle III the American League
Announcement of his reappointment
was made by President Comiskey yes
terday afternoon. 1t came as no sur
prise to the fans nor did il cause a
furry of excitement along base ball
row. 1t was made on what Comjskey
regarded as a reward OF merit and to
give the former minor league manager
another chance to land the American
League championship.
II was rumored early in the day that
the Sox owner had settled on his choice
to lead the Sox next year. The rumor
went the rounds of base ball row all
morning. When tho Old Roman was
found he confirmed the report by hand
ing out the announcement. 1t is fig
ured that the South Side leader did
well last year in "a league said by
many to be the fastest circuit in the
history of the American League"
Il chose Rowland to succeed himself
because i don't see where | could find
manager who could do any better
than he did In the hot battle for the
flag next year." said President comis-
key.
Rowland will have another chance,
and II his players escape injuries l be-
lieve he will land the pennant for our
club"
The Sox owner was disappointed over
the failure of his team to cop the
American League flag 1t was dificuIt
for him to become reconciled to de-
| feat. He harbored a firm belief that
he owned the best ball club In the
circuit and that ii should have won
on its merits.
After careful study of the problem
the Sox magnate arrived at the conclu-
sion that the defeat Of his team was
due more to injuries than to any other
cause. With Rowland as leader and
Kid Gleason as coach, Comiskey is op-
timistic over the chances of his club
for the next big test in tho han John
son circuit.

G.T.ADEE WILL REPLY
To Answer Defiant Letter of
Pacific Coast Tennis
Body.
LOCAL MAN GIVES VIEW

1t is probable that a reply to the de-
aant open letter sent out by the Pa
ctfic Coast Tennis Association will be
made within few days by George T.
Adee, president of the United States
National Lawn Tennis Association. The
forthcoming letter from the head of the
national body will very likely un-
equivocally state the opinion of the
Z. S. N. L. T. A. as seen by the execu-
tive committee. The coast association
believes that only those players who
receive direct financial gain from their
standing In the sport should be barred
from the amateur ranks. while the ma
tional body asserts that all who re-
ceive any promotion of business pros
poets. either direct or indirect, should
come under the ban. Another clause
in the letter from the western men
concerns the right Of a player to ac-
eept expense money from a club other
than his own. 1t is probable that the
reply by Mr.. Adee will include spe-
cifc instances in which the proposed
amateur rule has been transgressed.
thus bringing the personal equation
into an otherwise abstract ruling. 1t
is believed that the coast officials have
been SO active in their opposition to
the new rule that it has small chance
Of passing at the next meeting, it being
necessary for the executive commit
tee to have the support of two-thirds
OF the delegates present at the meeting
in order that the rule may be passed.
