Rev. DR.. D. H. Martin CriticiSes
Street Car Company for
Importing Breakers.

Scoring the action Of the Washing

bringing into the city as strike break
ers, hundreds OF men, some of whom
he characterized as thieves and in
suffers OF women, the Rev. DR.. D. H.
Martin, of Dumbarton Avenue NJ. Z.

town Citizens Association last
night that the present course
of this and other utility corporations
was leading straight to Government
ownership. Government ownership

Earnings And Wages.
"But think there should be some
way of regulating wages on the basis
of the earnings of the company. II
this street car company can pay more,
and 1 suspect it can, 1t should be
done.
"a strike should be the very last
resort All parties to such a contro-
versy should arbitrate. The party that
will not, loses public sympathy. The
public should be considered. The car
service on the Georgetown line OF
this company is bad enough in ordi-
nary times, but now 1t is so poor that
the company's charter, in which it
promises service, must be in danger"
Declaring that the nation was act
ually at war. DR.. Martin said the time
had come for every man to lay aside
party affiliation or other considera-
tion and uphold the hands of the
President.

Touching on the incident OF the
KaIser's picture in q high school, DR..
Martin declared It was not Advisable
to have foreigners mold Americas
youth during the plastic age. He ad-
vocated barring all foreign teachers
from the schools, and said the incident
had shown the necessity of testing
the Americanism of applicants before
they were permitted to teach.
DR.. Martin referred to the franchise
in the District, and said that though
any man must feel a better man lot
the right to vote, he believed that
present representation by the wnole
Congress would accomplish more Tor
the Capital than having District rep
resentation there.
DR.. Martin was unanimously elected
an honorary member of the assocla-
ton.
The association adopted without de-
bate an adverse report from the legls-
lative committee on a resolution pro-
posing a referendum in the District

ST. JOSEPH MEN MAY
BUY HOLLANDS CLUB
Major League Player Will Be
Secured as Manager If
Deal Goes Thru.

ST. JOSEPH. Dec. 25-Tired of the
dickering and playing with the st.
Joseph baseball team and franchise,
five local business men are preparing
TO buy the Holland holdings and take
active possession of the club here as
soon as possible. Several rumors re-
garding such a sale have been about
the city before. but this time 1t comes
from headquarters and the leader Of
the five said that If Holland woold
not try to hold them up" the club
would be purchased by st. Joseph
men.
While in the city Immediately after
the Western league meeting last week,
Holland had n conference with sew
eral of the men interested, and said he
was not only willing, but would rather
sell the club to the st. Joseph men
than. anyone else. He refused to name
his price at present, but said he would
cut II down from the mark which he
set for the value of his holdings here
to Ed Hanlon.
"If / am able to get the Tulsa club,
or the Oklahoma city franchise, ! will
let the club here go pretty cheap"
said Holland. AlthO not active IN the
purchase of the franchise, 1t was
stated yesterday that the street rail-
way company was very much inter-
ested in the sale of the club.
One of the best features of the local
mems proposition, and one that un-
doubtedly will bring JOY to the hearts
OF the fans, is that real big Lacquer
is to handle the organization. The
name of the manager, should the deal
be made, cannot be given out be-
cause of the fact that he has prom
ised to come here, and might be car
rled TO some other town If the news
were spread around that he would
take charge of the st. Joseph team
next season.

By Bud Fisher

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec. a.
Fred Fulton, claimant to the worlds

asked that the fight continue. Hack
warned Fulton and the fight was re-
sumed. Near the end OF the round
while the fighters were In n clinch
Tate was thrown thru the ropes ana
into the crowd. Referee Haack
stopped the bout at this point and
censured Fulton for his conduct.
Tates back and head were slightly
ly injured as n result of the fall from
the ring. Fulton attempted TO speak
from the ring. but the crowd would
not listen to him.
While the fight was a no-declslon
affair Referee Hack said afterward
that II 1t were permissible for him l.
give decision he would award the
fight 10 Tate.
Tate said tonight that he would
meet Fulton again at any time. Full
ton declined to make a statement. Eff
forts are being made to rematch the
two for another fight before the To-
cal club.

President Dickerson Expected

II Tulsa wants in the Western

Ever since Tulsa has had metropoli-
tan aspirations she has aspired to the
possession of a franchise in the West

this hankering she has appealed in

leagues interests as well as that of

instead of to the south. Now President
Dickerson is expected here within the
next few days to secure Tulsa's def
mite answer. If the Chamber of Com
merce or reliable individuals show
him that Tulsa Is sincere in her de-
sire to get into the Western league
and will support franchise here, Hol-
land will come Immediately, establish
his headquarters here and begin at
once preparations for next season. If
he does not secure concrete proof of
Tulsa's interest, then he is off TO the
north again, and If the circuit swings
to the north, then Tulsas chances OF
ever entering the Western league will
be gone.
Oklahoma City Wavcring.
Just as the failure of Russia to
maintain her offensive in the world
war has thrown the burden upon her
allies, so has Oklahoma Clty's ap-

the deal, and since Tulsa cannot go in
without Oklahoma City, it is up to
Tulsa to help in the adjustment Of
the difficulties over at the capital in
