AMERICAN To Be
TINE FOR THRILLS
BY H. c. HAMILTON.

NEW YORK, March 23.-This seas
on's journey down the American league
schedule should be fully as productive
of sensations as was last years grueli-
ing finish. No less than four clubs are
due to be in the fight and the balance
is such that the issue probably will not
be decided until the season is in its
closing month.
Detroit looks to be one team which
will bear watching. The Chicago
White Sox are strong, the Yankees, re-
fitted with good arms and legs, must
be counted in and it would be follw 20
suppose that even a change in man
agership could keep the wonderful
Red Sox from making an awful bid
for the Ban Johnson bunting.
The Tigers have been due to win
pennant for several years. Just one
thing has hampered them. Correct the
faults in the Detroit pitching staff and
there will be baseball club that will
tear it's way through anything. 1mag-
inc team making six and seven runs
a day, only to see the opposition come
trough with just few more.
The offensive power of such a grand
machine is lost in the inability OF
pitchers to hold the opposition to
few runs. With two good pitchers De-
troit should win pennant, for its
stickmen are able to produce the
runs.
The same thing might be said to
hold good for the White Sox, but there
are good pitchers there. The fault
isn't wholly with the hurlers. The
hjtters are there to make the runs,
and, for a great part of the time, the
pitchers are there to do the holding.
Comiskey's twirlers lost themselves
last summer in the heat "a of the race,
but there is no reason why they should
not return. The White Sox need
first baseman and they need him bal.
Ii Gandil can come through the White
Sox will develop a dangerously we'll
balanced team.
The Yankees are dangerous: but
hardly enough as to be voted spring
pennant. They need more experience
as a team and trifle more steadiness
in the pitching staff.
The Red Sox will supply the enigma
for the season. The champions COM
prise one of the best balanced and
best defensive teams thrown togeth
for many years. If the crack doesn't
come this year it will be hard to keep
them out of another worlds champion
ship. A great deal depends on Jack
Barry's ability. but the team is so
constituted that, if it holds together,
most anyone could drive it to a flag.

CAPTAINS OF TWO GERMAN
STEAMERS TRIED GETAWAY

TOXIC, March ga Shanghai tele-
gram received in official quarters says
that the captains of two German
steamers, which are interned in the
port of Shanghai where they took
refuge soon after the outbreak OF the
war, attempted to get their vessels
away late at night after China had
sent her protest to Germany on the
unrestricted submarine warfare. The
two steamers were sighted steaming at
top speed towards the entrance of the
port under cover of darkness through
tie merchantmen moored in the
harbor.
A Japanese warship cruising near
the mouth of the port espied the mys-
ferrous ships and gave chase. Aware
of detection, the German ships turned
and returned to their mooring. The
entente warships are maintaing Wig

ILLINOIS GAN MAKE PASSENGER RATES IN
 BOUNDS OF STATE
Judge Kenshaw M. Landis, in Federal Court, Holds That State Can Make Rates- May Effect Other States.
CBy Review Leased Wire)

CHICAGO. Jan. 13-Authcrity oi the state of Illinois to fix railroad rates within its own borders was up held in the United States district court today when Judge Landis dis missed for want of equity the petition of 2S railroad companies asking an in junction against the enforcement of the two cents mile passenger rate.
 The railroads announced they would appeal their case to the United States supreme court The ruling of the higher court may affect ten other states where two cent passenger rates now are in effect.
 In deciding the case Judge Landis said:
 It is my opinion that there is no earthly power, no possible power in the interstate commerce commission under the guise of relieving St. Louis and Keokok of discrimination, to re- peal the Illinois two cent fare law
 A committee of railroad attorneys and passenger traffic managers left for Washington, D. C.. today to apply to the interstate commerce commis- sion for a suspension of the order re- quiring the railroads to put into eff feet on January 15 the new tariff of "A cents per mile pending the out come of the appeal of the railroads. In order to obtain suspension of the order before Monday the committee planned to ask the commission to sit Sunday and hear its petition. The in terstate commerce commission has or dered a 24 rate while the state legis- iature has decreed that 9 two cent rate shall be charged. The two cent rate is now in effect in Illinois.

RULES COMMITTEE ID
 F0RcELAWSON WHEN
 PROBE OPENS MONDAY
Committee Is Empowered to Cite Financier for Contempt Before Bar of House If He Fails to Answer.
lBx Review Leased Wire.


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Members of the House rules committee, armed with the broadest authority to com pei witnesses. and particularly Thos. w. Lawson, to answer questions, will resume on Monday the investigation of rumors that advance information reached Wall Street on President Wilson's peace note.
 Determined to go to the bottom of the situation from every angle before reportin gto the House on the Wood resolution by sweeping congression- Gl inquiry in the leak stories, the committee has subpoenaed all per sons and papers that it considers might shed light on the rumors. Be sides Lawson, Bernard Baruch of New York and several other New York and Chicago brokers have been asked to testify Monday. All of the tele- grams sent from Washington on De cember 90, the day the stock specu- lators are said to have profited, have been asked for.
 Interest in the recalling of Lawson to the st-1d oveTshadowed among members Of .ongress tonight all other developments in connection with re- opening the hearing. Under a reso- lution, introduced in the House today, the committee is empowered to com pei him to testify.
 Lawson will be interrOgated from 2 set of written questions now being prepared He will be asked among other things to name the congress man who told him a story about a cabinet official, a banker and sena- tor being involved in profit making conspiracy in connection with the ieak and also to name the trio themselves. If the MostOn financier fails to an swer. the plan is to cite him for con tempt and give him an opportunity tO make answer before the bar Of the House Then if he stands by his refusal. he will be turned over to the sergeant at arms, and the House may order him held until he decides to answer or it may refer the case to the courts.
 Officials expect the contempt pro ceedings will be necessary for they do not believe Lawson will answer the committees question.

The only other question of any importance is how the neutrals will take the note with its false statements" and in vites them to a consideration of the whole subject
 The Morgan Post doubts whether the world has even seen a crazier doc ument than the so-called peace con- ditions of the entenJo, saying that its "orgy of madness appears all the more grotesQue alongside che D'oder- ate tone of the last German note. The paper ridicules the demand that Ru- mania and Montenegro, after Iartic- ipating upon their own initia we in a predatory war" should be indemni- fed by the victims to cover the cost uf the robbery"
 Discussing the probable effort of the note of the entente allies in an- swe- to President Wilson in Amer ica, the Bcersen ZeitIng says:
 Most European neutrals must now recognize which side has real wishes for peace and which has an unpar- alleled plan of conquest in which they must completely destroy the Euro pean equilibrium ana leave England sole master Of Eurcpe.

 "The entente's plan can hardly fur ther America's purely political inter ests for the demolition of the Ger man empire, which is proposed for the realization or the entente's plan, would certainly lead to very undesir- able consequences for America in it's relations with Europe"
