DIRECTOR OF LABOR
APPOINTMENT TODAY

Tho executive committee Of the state
Council OF Defense met at the Hotel
dupont this afternoon when the resIg-
nation OF Shrstopher l.. Ward. as
State director Of labor, was considered.
1t Is expected that at the meeting
successor to Mr. Ward viii be chosen.
1t was learned this morning that City
Councilman James w. Robertson, who
had been offered the position made va
cant by the resignation OF Mr. Ward.
would not accept. Efforts to have this
rumor confirmed failed today, but IT
was understood that Mr.. Robertson had
written a letter TO the committee de-
clinlng the position.

any Of those things avail to make Iegal
that which Is otherwise illegal2 The
statute forbids persons 90 assemble and

Can IL be contonded that persons can

cases.
know OF no other class OF criminal
cases wherein such a contention was
even suggested. To say that that which
Is forbidden generally, can be legal In
a certain place under certain condl-
tlons, IS unknown to the law except in
baseball cases. II remained for the in
genuity and legal acumen Of later days
10 devise such a contention. The con
tentiOn arose, perhaps. from the New
York Statute QUOTED SUPRA which
opened the door under It's peculiar pro
visions above quoted
The contention went West and under
Statutes forbldding sports" is found
In the reasoning OF the Courts but there
Is no decision there based on those
grounds.
What the law forbids generally, Il
forbids everywhere; it forbids It at any
time, at any place and no subterfuges
as TO local conditions, noise, an admit
tance fee. or whether with friends,
guests, relations or strangers can make
that legal which otherwise would be
unlawful.
In other words, the proposition re-
solves itself into this under the law, and
facts in this case, when Is q baseball
game not gamer The only answer
must be when it is played on private
property without admission, with only
invited guests, without noise and re-
mote from human habltation SC.
The proposition thus considered is OF
course absolutely untenable The con-
tention Of the State that the Leglsla
ture did not intend in using the word
game. to imply gambling, because the
law forbids gambling every day In the
week Is likewise untenable. This con-
tention falls, because the first law
against any form Of gambling was not
passed and was not in existence until
March 4, 1851. (II Del. Laws Chap. l54.
Sec. A., sixty-two years after the pass
age OF the Sunday laws.
For the foregoing reasons / must find
that the playing Of the game OF base
ball on Sunday is forbidden by the State
Statute, and that under the facts agreed
upon in this case the defendants cid
assemble TO and did engage in a game
called baseball; on the day stated, as
charged in the information, contrary
to law
The defendants are adiudged guilty
and will be fined four dollars each and
upon default viii be imprisoned for
twenty-foyr hours.

Trial Of Kaiser and

BLI:LLE, Monday, Nov. 25.-- By

mand the immediate converting of a
revolutionary tribunal for the pur-
pose of passing sentence on the Ho.
nenzoIlerns, father and son, and on
Won Bethmann-H ollweg," says the
Hed Flag, the organ OF DIR. Karl
Licbknecht, in commenting on th=
disclosures made in Munich con-
corning the completely of Germany
in bringin gaDout the war. Wilhelm
II. must be commanded to return ana
give an account before this tribunal.
The Spartacus organ also demands
q reckoning with the Socialist lead
ers Ebert, David, Molkenbuhr and
others for participation in propa-
ganda calculated to absolve Ger
many from responsibility for caus-
ing the war.
Eve have been told that Germany
had no knowledge Of Austria's ultl.
matunl, to Serbia. 1t was, a lie,
said to have admoaished Vienna to
60 slow. II was q lie"
con the contrary, Berlin melted

William II declared in the midst Of

envy A base, impudent, bottomless,
shameless lie.
And does this band Of mass muir
derers who in the progress of the
revolution and through the gener
osity OF the German people managed
to escape unhurt, really still believe
it can once more establish its blood
stained, lie-bedecked ruler"
The organ of the Independent So
cialists, Die Freiheit, says;
They committed high treason. we
cannot lay hands on William and his
son, but it is to be hoped they VIII
yet be brought to justice. Their
fortunes. however, must be contlS-
Gated. DIR. Won Bethmann-Hollweg
(former chancellor), Won Jagow, and
Zimmerman, former German foreign
secretaries, who were their tools,
must forthwith be arrested and
brought into court
The conservative Taeglische Rund-
echau asserts that the disclosures
not only are inopportune in view OF
the negotiations for revision OF
the armistice conditions" but pri-
parily are intended to stimulate
revolutionary sentiment.
Count Reventlow, in the Tages
Zcitung, says that neither Bethmann-
Hollwcg nor his associates desired a
world war and that they were not
prepared for it. The count adds:
lit is not to be denied, however,
that their jumbling was responsible
for complications which ultimately
involved Germany"
