BALL MAAGHATt5 MAAGiIAATE5 FINED FUR
 ATTACKS
tBy United Press)

NEW YORK, Sept 19. - In lining I John J. McGraw an additional sl,000 for allowing an attack on President 1 John K. Tener to be printed as coming from him, the National league set a precedent here that it will find to be extremely helpful to it in the future. By showing a backbone and a desire to begin quashing all attacks on ad. ministration of the league, the direc. tors will find it much easier to curb outbursts in future.
 Hacked on to the bottom of the lengthy statement in which the direc- tors answered the request of the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers | Association of America, was warning to managers and other employees of the league that future occurrences in which the head of the league or the league Is made the victim of an attack suspension for the rest of the season | will be a minimum punishment. There ! is at least one manager in the Nation al league, and several players who never have had any hesitancy in show ing some contempt for the way things have been done in the league They doubtless will be curbed.
 It has been customary for baseball followers in the east to poke some fun at the National league, calling it grandmother and other similar names. They have been accustomed to point ing to the American league as the virile, czarlike exponent of capital punishment in the baseball world. The staggering punishment meted out to McGraw, however, is direct proof that the last days of President Tener in the older circuit are going to be flay- bred with some distinctly czarlike ac- tions. The edict absolved the baseball writers from any blame fin connection with the episode that first resulted IL I meeting of the directors ant waa amounted to a formal apology iron McGraw. He declared he did not maE any such statements as those attribuf I'd to him, and left the writers to hnld the sack.
 The incident was reopened at the request of the writers, and while the last decision admits it was not proven McGraw actually attacked the presi- dent with the words attributed to him, he was fined and reprimanded for having allowed the interview to be printed when it would have been easy for him to suppress it.

The kind, paternaI government had
taken the precaution to hold the boys

privates to retain their overcoats for
thirty days without bond.

citation at st. Paul

The Minnesota Acknowledgment as
ISOLATION took the first step in a COM
adopted a resolution introduced by A.
B. Kaercher, president of the Tri-
State Flood Control association, asking
the legislatures of Minnesota, North
appoint commissions to confer with the
proper federal departments and con-
gressional committees to secure federal
legislation for food relief in the four
states.
The resolution says:
I'VE recognize the great Importance
of flood control in drainage districts in
Minnesota and North and South Dakota
and Wisconsin, and believe the only
practical means of securing the same is
by joint action of the legislatures of
the states presenting all the issues to
congress and devising a practical plan
nestly petition the Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Wisconsin legis-
latures to appoint commissions to con-
fer with congress to secure legislation
at the present sessions of legislatures
and congress, to give relief.
A bill providing for such a commits
sion will be introduced in the Mime
sofa senate by. Sen. D: p. O'Neill, of
luton adopted will be sent to the 9TH
er three legislatures
1t is proposed that each state COM
mission be made up of five members of
templates the constant cooperation of
the four states in handling flood drain
age problems.
The association named as los drain
age committee, Mr.. Kaercher, e. v.
Willard, st. Paul; Dan Meyer, Mime
apolis; Leslie Welter, Moorhead; and
L. A. Fritsche, New Ulm. Mr.. Kaercher
said the linking of Big Stone lake and
Lake Traverse by a canal and the con-
struction of dams and reservoirs in the
valleys of the Red and Minnesota riv-
ers not only would solve flood problems
along those streams for all time, but
would create valuable water power
that would in time pay for the work.
other problems taken up by the asso-
citation included the proposed state soil
survey, junior high school courses and
compulsory military training in the
public schools.
A resolution was also adopted pro-
posing aid for settlers through the re-
moval by the state of stumps on cut
over lands, the state to be compensat-
ed for the work in small yearly pay
ments.

BLUE SKY LAWS
ARE UPHELD
Continued From Page One.

alleged defects of the South Dakota
and Michigan laws. The South Dako-
ia law Of March Is, 1915, and the
Michigan law of April 9, 1915, repeal
ed the old 1913 act which had been
held void, were substantially pattern
ed after the model blue sky law
drawn by a committee Of the National
Association of Attorneys General fol-
lowing it's 1914 convention.
Two principal points upon which
the Ohio, South Dakota and Michigan
acts were declared void and non-en-
forceable in the lower courts were:
That they unduly burden interstate
commerce, of which stocks, bonds and
other securities were declared to be
instrumentalities, and that the laws
exceed the states police powers Of
local supervision.
The states, however, contended that
the laws prevent fraud only and, I'M
like the original Kansas type Of blue
sky legislation, do not attempt to pre-
vent unwise investments. Also they
contended that the laws do not re-
strict or burden interstate commerce,
applying only to sales within the
states, and in preventing frauds upon
their citizens are normal, wise and
preventative exercise Of state police
powers.
Generally, the laws provide for ex-
aminations of securities, prospectus
and other information by state securi-
ty commissions, or other officials;
licensing Of dealers and penalties of
$1,000 fines and one years imprison-
ment for violations. The Ohio law,
however, applies only to sales within
the state Of securities on property out
side of the state, the South Dakota
and Michigan laws applying to both.
Also, the laws generally exempt GER
tain securities, including those listed
on stock and other exchanges, Of ma
tional and state bank trust and build
ing and loan company securities; real
estate transactions, including mort
cages; secured commercial paper, in
GLIDING promissory notes; and are said
not to restrict individual transactions.
The Ohio law, does not prohibit mail
order sales.
The twenty-six states reported to
have blue sky restrictions are Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Connecticut,
Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Michigan. Missouri
Montana, North Carolina, North Da-
kota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina,
South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, YER
mont, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Longer Sessions Needed to
Garry Out Wilson's .
Program
lRv Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 22.-Longer day
and possibly night sessions of the
senate on the legislative program for
the remainder of the session of con-
gress were considered today by the
senate steering committee. The COM
mittee met in response to President
Wilson's personal appeal to it's MEM
bers to speed up action on his legisla-
tive program, including the railroad
strike restriction bill.
Congress may be called in extra ses-
sion in the event Of failure to put
through administration legislative
measures before adjournment March
4, and such a session senate and house
leaders are anxious to avoid. One of
the principal barriers in the way is
opposition to the railroad legislation.
In some quarters. however. it was
not believed that an extra session
would be called to take up the rail-
way legislation alone.
