BARROW'S SALARY
GETS Big SLASH
international Leagues First STEP
Toward Suspendin6 Next Season

New York, Dec. 1.-THE Interna-
tional league practically decided To
go out of business, although the om--
cia1 action was postponed until the
league convenes here again in Feb
ruary. The action, which is o fore-
runner of the collapse of the league.
was the slashing of President Ed Bar
rows salary which took place yes
terday at the meeting at the Hotel
Imperial. His salary was cut from
$500 to $4,000. To baseball mem
this meant that Barrow could not ar
ford to continue at the head of the
organization, and his withdrawal II
expected at any time.
Another radical action was the for
feiting of the Buffalo franchise. which
was owned by Joseph ]. Lannin, for-
merly owner Of the Boston Red Sox.
The club was forfeited because of the
failure of the owners to pay player4
salaries and to meet other contrac-
; tural obligations. The club Is 49,
! 600 in the hole, and this includes sal
aries, league fees, and guarantees to
visiting clubs. It was stated that
Mr.. Lannin has assured the players
and Manager Pat Donovan that he
will assume the responsibility OF their
! salaries. "'.. I3
The most disappointed men in New
York last night was President. Barrow,

several seasons to keep the league on

There was no enthusiasm among the
club owners to try another season

Russian Cossack, covered himself
with glory last night in the inter-

the famous Ed C"Strangler") Lewis

forced to capitu1ate. The Southern

The action Of Doctor Cairns followed
the discovery that Noah Townsend, negro,
who came to this city from the New Jersey
mobilization town a few weeks ago. was the
victim of a wel-dev"loped case of smallpox.
The negro cary in July went to live at a
house at 541 Fox court and had been i'll for
many days before his case was reported to
the authorities. AS twelve days elapse be-
tween contact with the disease and its de-
veopmeut In a patient, Doctor Cairns be-
lieves that Townsend contracted smallpox
before coming here to live.

NAUTICAL SCHOOL BILL
VETOED BY GOVERNOR
Surprising Action Regarded by
Shipping Men as Blow at
American Marine

Governor Brumbaugh today vetoed the
bill TO re-establish the Pennsylvania Maui
tlcal School at the port of Philadelphia.
The measure carried an appropriation of
$4,000 from the state. under the proviso
that the City Councils appropriate the same
amount.
The veto is regarded by the shipping men
Of the city as a blow at the American mcr-
chant marine They asked the Legislature
to pass the bill, and requested the Governor
to sign il, so that Pennsylvania could do
its share toward providing officers for the
great fleet of merchant vessels that are to
be built under the direction Of the United
States Shipping Board.
The school cannot be re-established now
for at least two years. II went out OF
existence in 1913 when Governor Tener
vetoed bill appropriatinR $4,000. No
appropriation was made in 1918. Early IN
the last session. Senator Edwin II. ware,
who is politically aligned with the Cover
nor, sponsored the bill to re-establish the
school. and forced it's passage through both
branches of the Legislature.
The Governor intimated to the shipping
men who asked him to take favorable ac-
tion on the bill that he would sign it, and
his veto came as a surprise to them. The
Governor did not deign to explain his
reasons for the veto.

GREAT THRONGS CROWD
EXCURSIONS TO SHORE
Biggest Saturday Rush of Season Jams
Many Extra Trains on
All Roads

One of the greatest excursion days this
city has ever known was witnessed today
at the foot of Market and Chestnut streets.
Thousands OF people filed Delaware avenue
in front of the Pennsylvania and Reading
stations. The crowd was big and so
thick that traffic of vehicles was stopped
and the ferry boats were loaded as heavily
as the railroads would permit,
The Reading carried more than 10000 to
Atlantic City and about 5000 to other sea-
shore resorts. The Pennsylvania also car>
ried about $1,000 persons to all the resorts
combined. The railroads gave as the rea'
son for the unusually large numbe or
excursionists the fact that this was the last
Saturday for special party excursions.
Among the many industrial plant church
and fraternal organization parties was that
of the combined churches of Manayunk
Roxborough and Wissahickon. This con-
sisted of about 1000 persons. Several thou
sand persons went in the Cramp Ship
yard party.
The excursionists began arriving at the
stations before s o'clock and by $50 the
spaces about the doors were jammed with
people who wanted TO buy tickets. Twice
during the morning the Reading had TO
close its gates against the throng,
Both roads loaded trains as rapidly as
possible and sent them out az fast as safety
would permit. The last excursion sections
did not leave until after O'Clock. The
thrones were 80 great that the schedule OF
ferryboats was done away with and every
availabls boat was impressed into service
