OF RELATIONS WITH PLAY.
Frs FRATERNITY EN-.
DORSED

New York, February 15-Relations
with the baseball players fraternity
were severed by the American League
at it's schedule meeting here today
when similar action taken by the Ma
tional League yesterday was endorsed
in the following resolutions:
Whereas the players fraternity has
repeatedly violated the letter and spir-
it of an agreement entered into with
them on January 6, 1914, therefore be
it.
Resolved, by the American League
of Professional Baseball Clubs, that
all returns with said fraternity be and
the same are hereby terminated"
The playing schedule for the COM
ing season was adopted.
Endorsing the assertion that base
ball should do its part in movement
looking forward the country's protec-
ton, the league passed a resolution
suggesting that baseball players OF
the American League be given an op-
portunity to become civilian soldiers
The proposals were that at each
spring training camp, one hour day
be devoted to military instruction
that a military training camp be es-
tablished at the close of the worms
series, and that President Johnson be
empowered to consult with Major Gen.
eral Leonard Wood concerning the de.
tails of this project
AT meeting of the National Com.
mission also held here today. the &C.
ton taken by the National and Amer.
lean Leagues abrogating the "Cincin,
natl agreement" with the players fed

Hachita, N. NJ, February 15-Three
bodies, later identified as those of An
drew p. Peterson, Hugh Accord and
Burton Jensen, American cowboys,
were found late today by Lem Spills
bury, former scout with General Per-
shing three miles south of interna-
tional monument No. SO, on the Mex
can side of the border.
The bodies of the three Americans
were found about so feet apart, ac-
cording to Salisbury. Each victim had
been shot many times in the head
| Hugh Acord's head was mutilated
with machete, according to Stills
,, bury. All of the bodies were stripped
of their clothing, hats and shoes
Salisbury said.
Salisbury found the raiders trails
early this morning and followed them
during the day, coming upon the aban-
doned bodies late this afternoon. From
what he could learn, the Mormon
scout said he was convinced that three
murdered men had been taken into
Mexico from American soil and then
killed.
A government agent, after an inves-
tigation of the raid, reported to Wash
ington that the Mexicans under Pru-
dencio Miranda were eating dinner at
a ranch house on the American side
when Peterson, Jensen and Accord
rode up unarmed. The Americans
were made prisoners.
His report also confirmed previous
reports of the Corner Ranch raid.
From later advices to military Of
fcers the reported raids on Lang's
ranch and the killing of two Ameri-
can ranchmen was believed to be base
less.
Ed (Bunk) Spencer, the American
negro ranch foreman for the +. H.
Warren & Sons interests, who reach
ed the border late Tuesday with Sal
azar's demands for $1,000 i'm gold, also
brought with him a verbal statement
which he declared Salazar made to
him at Ojitos, Chihuahua, the purport
of which was that Salazar intended TO
raid an American town on the border
which would surpass Villas raid on
Columbus, N. NJ, and in which all
men of gringo lands would have to
take care but that women and chill
dren would be protected
While Spencer made the trip to the
border from Ojitos to deliver Sala-
EARS demands for the ransom, his
Mexican wife was held as hostage al
the Ojits ranch and Spencer said he
was told by Salazar that she would be
shot if he did not return by sunrise
Wednesday. After delivering his mes
sage to the general overseer of the
Warren ranches Spencer returned tc
Mexico late Tuesday evening.

DRAFT HORSE ACTION.
Snappy Walk With Long Stride Indi.
Gates the Good Ground Covcrer.

Proper action In the draft horse il
important. according TO David Gray,
assistant In animal husbandry IN the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Size
and power are of little value II the
horse has not enough agility to handle
big weight In n manner yielding the
greatest efficiency.
Action OF the draft horse should be
clean, bold and rather stylish. In NOV.
ing the feet should De carried forward
and back In a straight line without pad
ding. winging or other irregularlty OF
gait In order TO get the best and
greatest stride with the least energy II
Is absolutely necessary that the feet
move straight and smooth without de
fects Of gait.
Knee action in the draft horse is not
Of great Importance. A long stride
which covers considerable ground is
much more important than high knee
action. as ability Ia cover ground Is
what is wanted. The walk is the I'M
portant gait. IL should be snappy and
true with a good length of stride.

SPENDING YOUR MONEY.

our county commissioners meet next week for
countys expenditures next year. and that means
determining how much each of us will have to
pay in taxes next year. As at present drawn up.
the budget contemplates an increase Of two and
one-quarter mills over the rate we paid this year
and heavens knows that was high enough. 1t is
our duty, between and the time the budget is
finally adopted. to make up minds that the
expenditures therein provided are justified and
necessary and that willing to bear our
share or else to 60 before the board and specifi-
cally point out the expenditures we do not approve
and explain why.
Merely to 60 before the board and complain
about taxes and loudly assert that they must be
cut down, won't get anywhere The board won't
know then where to cut and where not, to suit the
taxpayers who are the ones who should be salts
fed as near as may be. The chances are, of course
that, aside from the departmental allowances the
budget will not be adopted as first proposed, but
if individual or group of taxpayers go before
the board and help it figure out the reductions
they will be doing valuable constructive service
to their county
The budget as originally framed was published
in detail in this paper last week, with brief ex-
plantations Look it up again, study it, figure out
what two and quarter mills on the dollar in
higher taxes mean to you, and then go tell the
board what to do about it.

AMERICAS OBJECT.

The object of this war is to deliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and the
actual power of vast military establishment
controlled by an irresponsible government
which, having secretly planned to dominate the
world, proceeded to carry the plan out without
regard either to the sacred obligations of treaty
or the long-established practices and long
cherished principles of international action and
honor; which chose its own time for the war;
delivered its blow iercely and suddenly;
stopped at no barrier either of law or of mercy;
swept whole continent within the tide of
blood-not the blood of soldiers only, but the
blood of innocent women and children also and
of the helpless poor and now stands baked but
not defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of the
world.-From President Wilson's Reply to the
Pope.

THE WORLDS 'HEATHEN cH1NEE. "

For ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain, Bret Harte wrote 'the Heather Chinee
is peculiar, and his words might well refer to
the Germany revealed to us today, through the
disclosures made by Secretary of State Lansing
that mark that nation as the Heather Chnee"
among the countries of the world. No means too
loathsome no lengths too far no course too insid-
icus, no act too dirty for her to perform to gain
her ends-such is the meaning of these revela-
tons.
These disclosures have not come into the possess
sion Of our government in the last day or two or
the last week or two-they have been known for
months, anyhow-perhaps for years. All through
the devious, patient negotiations he carried on
with Germany in the hope Of averting America s
entrance in the world struggle, President Wilson
undoubtedly knew them, and the wonder is that
knowing Them possessed Of such convincing proof
OF Germany's duplicity, informed in such great
measure Of her diplomatic degradation, he carried
on the public features of these negotiations with
such forbearance, with such consistent efforts to
keep the peace.
This is the chapter of her relations with the
nations Of the world in which Germany will stand
disgraced in the eyes Of history, nation whose
destinies are in the hands Of officials gone mad
with intrigue, dirty diplomacy, spying, hidden
Vaccinations in countries they professed to call
friends, lust for conquest and for power, for
dominion and despotism over all peoples and
caring not how il was achieved.

Olympia is to be congratulated and its unions
particularly upon the fact that the employees Of
the local shipyards have seen fit to abide by the
agreement entered into during the brief tie-up
last August and have stayed on the job notwith-
standing the walkOuts in other shipbuilding cen
tiers Of the coast and the efforts that have I'M
doubtedly been made from those localities to in
duce the local men to strike. Here hoping that
same spirit will continue, that our workers here
will seek to obtain through Cancellation rather
than through more violent methods, the advan-
tanges they seek.
