MINOR LEAGUES IN FIGHT WITH MAJORS
 ABOUT DRAF INC

PEORIA, ms, Nov I4.-War be- tween the major leagues and the minor organizations of the country threatens to develop as result of the action taken at the annual meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues here today, protest ing against the privileges of the major leagues to draft star players from the minors.
 The protest was embodied in reso- lution drawn by A. R. Tearney of Chicago, president of the Three league, and presented by Jack Hol- land of the Western league. The resolution demanded that the Ameri- can and National leagues relinquish the right of the draft and also the practice of farming. out players un- der the optional agreement. It was adopted without dissenting vote.
 Thomas J. Pickey. president of the American association urged the minor league organization to withdraw from the national agreement with the ma jors if the demand is refused. A com hnittee consisting of Holland Tearney and Joe Tinker, owner of the Colum- bus club of the American association, was appointed to present the protest lO lu6 UdllOiidl DdotDdll cOlilililSSiOu dl it's first meeting.
 Demand Disposal Right
 We shall demand the right to dis pose of our young stars to whom we see fit instead of having them drafted by the major leagues at prices ranging from $2, 800 down to s750, as prevails under existing conditions President Tearney said.
 Tt is the minor league that develops these stars of the majors and the smaller leagues should reap the finan- cial reward
 The minor leagues, however, desire to reserve the privilege of drafting players within their own organiza tion, higher leagues drafting from lower class organizations under pres ent regulations. Steps will be taken to readjust the draft prices to con form with the new legislation. The minor leaguers also adopted new sal ary limits and agreed to reclassifi- cation.

MAY CLEAR CHARGE
 OF ENTERTAINMENT

The friends of E. H. Thorne, the young salesman of Morris & Company whose arrest on the charge of embez- clement was made Wednesday, said yesterday they had no doubt that he would be able to clear himself of the accusation. Thorne, himself, said that at the most he was only guilty of an ir- regularity in making use of funds that came to his hands pending the receipt of his salary. He said that the amounts he had so used would not aggregate more than 1850 or s400, while there was due him nearly that much from 1 the company.
 Correcting a statement that had been made regarding merchandise which he had received back from merchants from whom he had taken orders, he said that the merchandise so taken by him and placed in storage was not in l excess of the orders that had been given him, but it was bacon that had been received in an unsatisfactory condition. It was on account of two such lots that the two charges of em- bezzlement were lodged against him. Thorne further said that he had tried to conceal nothing from the company, but had included all his transactions in his reports

 TOO BUSY FOR CRIME
CFresno (Cal.) Republican,


 The report of the county peace of- ficers that the war has decreased the jail population carries with it an ln- teresting suggestion for peace times also. The men who would have com- mitted the crimes to fill the vacant places in jail are certainly not all in the army And if those who are there are not committing crimes, it is be- cause, they are getting something in the army which they had not got in civil life The others are not commit ting crimes because they are too busy and too prosperous. They have work enough to- keep them out of mischief and money enough to keep them out of temptation.
 By the time the army registration and the Work or Fight Law have com pleted their task of eliminating those who are mentally unfit either to work or fight. we shah doubtless have dis posed of most of our criminals or po- tcntial criminals, at least within the draft age.

DROP POCKETBOOK |SMEX|CAN' $ GAME
 CHINESE DECLARES

In the capture of Jesus Gonzales and Jose Montana by Motorcycle Officer Papo the police believe they have the principals in a gang of pickpocket- swindlers that has been operating in Phoenix for weeks.
 According to an investigation by Chief Detective McGrath, the game played by these Mexicans is something like this,
 Two partners strike an acquaint- ance with disinterested person and walk a ways with him. One of the two drops d pocketbook, and the other member of the gang picks it up. The disinterested person, who is behind the man who dropped the pocketbook, calls attention to the partner walking with him, that the pocket picked up belongs to the man ahead. The finder of the pocketbook then says "hush, we will divide what money there is in the pocketbook"
 When this is agreed to, the man in front, who had droppedi the pocket book, turns abruptly and accuses the disinterested person of taking it. When that person denies the charge the man who dropped the pocketbook searches the disinterested persons pockets and takes everything therein
 The game was last played by Con zales and Montana with a Chinese as the disinterested person. The China man had just left the Southwest Cot l ton company property on Grant stree when Gonzales and Montana cam, along, with the assurance, the Chimes told the police. that they knew he haC some money in his possession.
 The man ahead dropped the pocket book. according to plan, and the mar

DATEP|TS BEST FUR CARBON, AND STATE
 HAS GREAT SUPPLY

Coincident with the renewal of plans for the conservation of hard nut shells and fruit pits to be used in the manu- facture of carbon for gas masks comes information that indicates Arizona stands a good chance of leading the nation in supplying high grade mate rial for carbon.
 In a letter received by M. T. Grier.. chairman of the hotel and restaurant division of the federal food adminis- tration for Arizona. w. M. Jackson, first lieutenant in the chemical war fare service of the gas defense division of the war department writes that the chemical analysis of the date pits re- gently sent by MT. Grier show that this product is entirely satisfactory to pro- duce carbon for masks.
 As there are literally tons of this material hanging on the date palm trees of Arizona, a splendid opportu- nifty is presented to patriotic boys and girls in aiding the Red Cross in this i important work.
 1 Before sending in dates to the Rcd l Cross they should be boiled for few minutes so that the pits may be easily l extracted.
