enough but hasn't been able to get 'em safe.
 Harry Donovan, the New Haven star, won his sixth straight yesterday when he downed Lawrence with six hits and one run. Bridgeport has hit Donovan harder than any other club and but for poor fielding would have beaten him in two games.
 Champion Benny Leonard has mentioned several branches of the service in which he might enlist but his. press agent dug up a new one yesterday when the Red Cross was mentioned They'll have Benny in the Salvation Army next.
 Lefty High, the old Hartford out | fielder, helped his batting average yesterday when he got two passes in one inning in the Cleveland game. l Imagine the feelings of Manager Lee Fohl when the Cleveland hurlers were passing all those. men. l Phil Douglas, the Chicago Cubs pitcher, is just as much of a come back as Hack Spencer, the Detroit | catcher. Both were victims of the demon rum but have passed up the flowing bowl and are drawing good salaries in consequence. Douglas let the Phillies down with two hits yes trday but lost by 1 to 0. It is said Manager Mitchell of the Cubs sent Douglas to a sanitarium last spring in order to get him in condition. 1 Fred Anderson who fizzled out ad the close of last season and was be- lieved to be through, is going we'll fol the Giants this season. He has turn
 ed in his share of victories and even in defeat has not allowed many runs

CHICAGO MEAT PACKERS
HIT At FOOD PROBE
By United Press.

By Urtse0 f'reSs.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2o-Chicago
meat packers were targets of the fed
eral trade commission at the open
ing of its food investigation today. un-
der direction of Francis A. Heny
San Francisco, special counsel, Heny
directed his fire for the Union
Stock Yard Company, Chicago, an al
lied concern in an effort to show that
the big meat packers were the
real owners-a fact always denied by
the packers.
Heny sought to show that Frank
H. Tegram, treasurer of the COM
pany, and also cashier of the T. H.
Prince Company. the first witness was
merely "a dummy stocbholder" In
these firms, and a figure In compli-
Gated system of stockyard control.
Heny will attempt TO porve that
the five biggest meat packers control
not only the Chicago stockyards and
their terminal factories, but also sev-
eral of the Chicago banks at which
cattlemen and commission men obtain
credit.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
ITALY, Dec. 2O-The fate of the We
netian plains today hung on the
weather
If Italy's lines hold for a fortnight
under the tremendous Teutonic pres
sure, winters ice and snow will ef-
fectively lock the door to the plains.
Both sides realize the necessity of
a decision on both sides of the Brenta
river. If Italy can make successful
defense-as she is now doing-and
check the Austro Germans on their
lines, she will be ready for supreme
counter offensive.
Officials regard the situation as
more favorable and the most hopeful
for the Italians since the original de-
feat. The Austro-German strategy
is now sufficiently unfolded to render
it certain that their sole winter object
consist in breaking through to the We
netian plains through the valley of
the Brenta flowing out from the Alps
at Bassano.
Protecting this crucial point the
Italians possess two deep salients. One
is east Of Brenta eliminating with it's
most northerly point in Monte Sola-
rolo plain. Monte Grape is its high
est point. The other is west of the
Brenta, eliminating to the north in
Monte Zardena of the Asiago plateau
While General Buelow's German
armies are by successive and care
fully planned attacks, trying to encir-
Gle Monte Grappa by capturing con-
tiguous grounds and neighboring
towns, General Conrads Austrians are
delivering simultaneous or alternative
attacks against the Asiago salient
from the opposite side of the Brenta.

After Christmas for Forts

from this city which will be used in
making up the 800 men called from
this state for heavy coast artillery un-
its at Forts Howard and Washington
in Maryland, were chosen yesterday,
together with alternates. The men
will leave here next Wednesday morn
ing. The work on the questionnaires
for the draft has grown to such pro-
portions that the local board and the
legal advisory board has issued an
urgent appeal for assistance.

FEEL SAFE
Repeat That FreehoIder Mat
ter is Poor Political Move
Legislature is G. 0.P.

The freeholder question has found
its way home, to all of the Republi-
can politicians of the county, and
they are busy now in an effort to
bring about the prevention of what
they term "a mean political move on
the part of the Democrats" 1t seems
certain that matter will be brought
before the next session Of the state
legislature, with the hope that they
will pass special act which will le-
galize the election of the Republican
freeholders and allow them to take
the offices to which they believed
they were legally elected and entitled.
Harry r. Wilson, chairman of the
Perth Amboy Republican Club, and 4
prominent worker in the party affairs
in the city and county, last night de-
scribed the act of the present board
as "a poor political move" He said
! that the last several boards, which
have been Democratic, were, of their
own knowledge, elected to Office in
the old way, contrary to the law OF
1912. He characterized the move as
a poor political one, insofar as the next
J legislature will be Republican, and it
will not be impossible to secure a
special act which will grant to the
men elected last November, the right
toNtake their SEATS He claimed that
the Democratic Boards were aware
of the law and that there had never
before been any doubt Of their status,
and that now, as they were to retire
from control of county affairs, they
were kicking up some dust, In their
,, effort to ward off the Republican con-
troll.
City Treasurer Garretson said today
that he had gone through a similar
case here and had no trouble in keep
ing his position at that time. 1t was
when he wa acting mayor, when
Marshal Bollschweiler was elected
sheriff, and William Voorhees, had act
ed as mayor until January /, serving
as mayor by virtue of his office as al
derman at large. When Mr.. Garretson
took office on January 1, having been
elected alderman at large at the pre-
vious election, and took over the dut-
les of acting mayor, he was ousted by
the Democrats, who claimed that I'M
der the old city charter, the vice pres
ident of the Board of Aldermen was
to act in the absence of the mayor.
Lawrence C. Dalton took the posi-
ton as acting mayor, then, until b
special act was passed by the state
Legislature, which replaced Garretson
as acting mayor, in which capacity Re
served until elected mayor the follow
ing election.
The city treasurer said this morn
ing that the Democrats were great on
technicalities, but that they never
gained by them. He said that the u.s.
ual result of conditions such as pres
ent was that the party which was ap-
parently injured, usually came out on
top at the next election with large
majority,
