tive engineers, who had prepared to
call strike of Brooklyn rapid transit

no controversy with its men and could
see no reason why the government
should interfere

Sporting Notes.

The resignation of John K Tener as
president of the National baseball
league, was received in New York yes
terday at National league headquarters.
Red Sox fans can prepare themselves
for some mighty interesting baseball on
Saturday next, for Barrow's brigade,
with the out-of- Flown pilgrimages all fin
ished for the season, win be back home
and begin their final campaign at Fen
way park with the New York Yankees
as opponents.
1t is self-evident that Ban johnson
and Charley Comiskey are at logger
heads, and when normal conditions in
baseball are ultimately resumed, base
ball men look to see new leader nomi-
mated to the presidency of the Ameri-
can league. OF course, johnson s cleo
ton few seasons ago was practically
for life term, but in the face of the
very hostile sentiment shown by the
magnates, especially by those who
Overruled his recent wishes, it is doubt
full if Big Ban will care to remain any
longer in a position that many feel he
has so badly neglected.
Lu Princeton, driven by Walter Cox,

ing of the year at North Randall track.
The previous record was set py Peter

ming the race in straight heats Royal

DEVONSH|RE Off
TO TAKE UP REINS
OF HIS NEW POST

The Duke OF Devonshire. new Gov
ernor General of Canada, who arrived
in Washington on Tuesday, is on his
way to Canada today. Accompanied
by his staff, the Duke left for New
York last night. After spending a
few days in that city, the Duke will
go direct to his new post.
The Duchess will remain in Wash
Ington for a couple OF days, joining
her husband in New York before his
departure for Ottawa.
Prior to leaving this city the Duke
paid his respects to President Will
son, at which time 1t Is said he pre-
scented the views OF his government
on some points covered by the Presi-
dent in his address to Congress out
lining this country's peace terms.
State Department and British en-
bassy officials declined to discuss the
Dukes visit to Washington, or his
interview with the President. 1t is
believed, however. that among the
questions discussed was the railroad
situation in Canada as affecting this
country.

NEW ORLEANS GIRL
To MARRY MEADE
SOLDIER BY WIRE

CAMP MEADE, Jan. ia we'd
ding By wire is on the program as
the greatest of the romantic novelties
that this camp has developed.
Lieut.. P. NJ. HoIdeman, chaplain OF
the 314th infantry. has been called on
10 carry out this ceremony, II he mas
that IL can be done according 10 law
and be valid after he pronounces the
soldier groom here and the girl IN

Twenty-third engineers. now on a re-
cruitfnE detail and too busy to slip
away TO Louisiana. The brides name
haa not been given out, and VIII not
be made public until the line Is clear
and the ceremony has been actually
performed. The bride, II seems, can
not come here.
Hess told the chaplain about his
difficulty, and received the consola-
tion that the clergy give in all cases
OF romance blighted by war. Hess
took the consolation, but did not give
up hope. He asked the minister why
the ceremony could not be performed
by wire. The young lady is willing.
and he is. The chaplain and the
young man then began to look up the
law on the subject. At present they
have discovered no difficulty, but are
seeking the best possible legal advice
before the courts OF the country. The
latest statement from the Rev. Mr..
Holdeman is that the way seems clear
if the line is not busy. A ceremony
with q perfectly proper license may
be performed by the chaplain, and
then repeated after the war when the
soldier comes home from France.

MOTHERS COOKING
FOR SOLDIERS GETS.
COUNCIL SFROWNS

A ban on foodstuffs from home for
our aoldiers and sailors is suggested
today by the Council OF National De
Tense. In a resolution sent to all
State councils OF defense by the na-
tional body. the public Is asked to dis
continue sending delicacies and other
food to men in the military service
OF the. cpuntry, on the ground that
much rootl frequently spoils en- route,
and the hNsaith OF the men might be
Impaired tNy eating it.
The resCi tuition also declares that
the practice of sending goodies" from
home causes an unnecessary drain on
the countryS5 food supply. Besides,
Uncle Sans forces get plenty to eat
from the Government
The resolution Is as follows:
THE Council OF National Defense
desires to inf!a run the people of the
country that = hundant food Is sup
piled to the s.aldiers and sailors in
camps and eantpuments, and that the
sending OF food to these men by their
friends and families is not in any re-
Spect necessary; that the aggregate
quantity OF food thus privately sent
is enormous, and tlIat much Of 1t, hav-
ing been conveyed long distances in
heated express or mail cars, Is more
or less spoiled, and consequently in
furious to the health OF the men.
Therefore, in the interest Of the con-
servationl OF food, anal also the health
OF the men, the Coualcil OF National
Defense requests the public to dis
continue the sending of foodstuffs to
the camps"

DISTRICT GOT MUCH
COAL IN 1917,S SAYS
INQUIRY WITNESS

Washington. in 1917, had more an
thraeite coal shipped in than in any
other year In her history.
This assertion was made to the
Senate subcommittee on the coal
shortage today by Arthur s. Learoyd,
in charge OF distribution OF anthra-
cite for the entire country for the
Federal fuel administration.
Washington, in 1917. received 102,-
900 tons more OF anthracite coal than
In any year OF her history, was Lea
royd's assertion
Senator Lodge asked II there were
no exceptional demands he'e in 1917.
The witness admitted there were.
Senator Reed asked 10 u were not
proper that the large proportion OF
the coal should be sent IN in the
period between April and October.
Entirely So" said the witness.
He explained that the more coal
put into the cellars in the summer,
the more the pressure in winter was
relieved.
Learoyd declared Il to be his be-
lief that there is in Washington to-
day, counting coal in the cellars.
more anthracite than there would BE-
ON the average in the ordinary year.
He ascribed this to the fact the man
with coal was reaching out to get
more, so as to be sure OF having
enough to get through the season.

SENATORS RESUME
THEIR ATTACKS ON
BAKER STATEMENT

Senate military probers today re.
sumed their assaults on Secretary of
War Bakers claim OF adequate sup
plies for Americas SOLDIER.
Instead of going into cantonment
construction with a view to fastening
an end of the hearings. the committee
put Baker on the grill again today
and doggedly hammered q: his calm
insistence. that initial needs of the
army have been properly met.
II have no disposition to cavil,"
said Senator Chamberlain. but your
general statement is calculated to
leave the impression that necessary
equipment is all in the hands of the
troops. l saw the commanding Of
icer OF Camp Sherman, ChilIicothe,
Ohio. this morning. and asked him
whether his men were fully clothed.
He told me they were short several
thousand blouses. In the face of
that, your statement has the effect
OF lulling the country into q false
sense of security"
THE country is entitled to feel Sc
cure" maintained Baker.
The country is entitled to know
the facts" said Chamberlain.
Senator Frelinghuysen asked Baker
whether any effort was made to make
a census of the country's uniform max
Eng capacity. Baker said not, and
Frelinghuysen suggested such a census
be made. Baker said he'd prophesy the
depot quartermaster at Philadelphia had
a great deal Of information on the sub
ject.
Senator Weeks inquired concerning de-
lay in completing base and camp hospi-
tails. He quoted previous witnesses to
the effect that sewage and plumbing
were not completed by December l.
IN some camps the hospitals were
completed first" said Baker. and in
others the contractors pressed their
whole job on the theory It would be
better TO have the whole Job IS per cent
done than TO have s. per cent Of 1t COM
plete and Is per cent not begun"

RELATIVE OF mrs.
WILSON DENOUNCES
PH|LA. OFFICIALS

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 12.-After
completing arrangements with the
police and the proprietor Of the Regent
Billiard Academy, 1900 Market street,
to have the place kept open as a Sun
day recreation center for United
States soldiers and sailors in uniform,
Mrs. Robert Hagedorn Boiling, OF
sos Germantown avenue. a relative
OF Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife OF the
President, Is now fighting the pro-
posal as vigorously as she formerly
Sponsored the plan.
The reason given for this change
OF heart on the part OF Mrs. Boiling
Is that the billiard academy IL oper-
ated By a gambling clique
Referring to the approval given the
place by Director Wilson and Super
intendent Robinson, Mrs. Boiling said:
"R they knew that such a place
existed they should have told me so.
| can't understand why they approve
of using the Regent Billiard Academy
As q place where soldiers could rest
when II Is generally known in the
police bureau that the proprietor has
a reputation for being a gambler.
Their action Is a disgrace"
