ASKS S50,000 IN LIBEL ACTION
 FROM GAZETTE
Thomas A. French, Former Official of State Peniten- tiary, Bases Suit on Arti- cle Said to Impute Disloy- atty

Asking s5o,O00 as damages, a libel suit against the Gazette Printing com pany was instituted yesterday by Thomas A. French, acting secretary of the state penitentiary the last year of the Hunt regime and former secretary to the state federation of labor.
 The action is based on an article which appeared in the February 19 issue of the evening paper which the plaintiff alleges contains false, mali cious and scandalous statements which exposes him to hatred and contempt by imputing to him disloyalty to his country.
 While the article which appeared under the headline Great Change for Good is Apparent at Penitentiary' is held as defamatory and libelous the paragraph to which particular excep- | tion is taken has to do with that part of the article under the sub head, Chained For Patriotism" in which the statement is made that a prisoner made remark about the picture of | the kaiser in the secretary's office to ! the effect that the proper place for such a picture is in the condemned l cell, and because of this remark the prisoner was confined to the tubercu- lar cell under lock and chain. Article is Described There is reference in the article to alleged conditions under the old ad- ministration," and as acting secretary of the prison the plaintiff claims to have been one of the officers referred to by the defendant.
 The article sets forth that the flag was displayed on the staff at the pris- on but six times in a several months period and makes further claim that Under the old administration there were no war drives conducted there for the Red Cross, Liberty Loan, or Thrift stamp campaigns, but since January 6, $3,500 has been raised for ; patriotic purposes.
 Other comparisons are drawn in the
 newspaper story contrasting alleged conditions in the past with present state of affairs. The article objected
 to by French declares that sheets anj l pillow cases are now provided in thj prison, while before the prisoners were
 compelled to sleep on mattresses. The
 statement is also made that 100 ol more leg irons and handcuffs were : left by the old administration with $ out keys which are now being made q It was stated that rifles and six
 shooters of the guards disappeared
 with the old administration and tha
 there were not enough guns to equil
 guards when the new administration
 took over the prison and it was neces
 sary that new provisions be made t,
 safeguard the penitentiary.

 At the morning session, the progress of the federal amendment in congress was reviewed and assurances that ul- timate victory would be attained in the sixty-sixth congress, were declared by delegates.
 Militant suffragists were arraigned bitterly for their public demonstra- tions and denounced as obstruction- ists to the success of the amendment.
 Sectional executive conferences composed the night session. Speakers included Mrs. Frank J. Shuler, Miss Mary Garrett Hay and Miss Rose Young, all of New York City.

INTIMATE LETTERS
 BETWEEN ROYALTIES
 SHOW REVELATIONS

COPENHAGEN. March 26-(By The Associated Press)-The Deutsche Zei- tung of Berlin has published a number of letters illustrating the attitude of the German emperor and the crown prince during the fateful days of last November, says a dispatch from the German capital.
 The emperor wrote to Frederick Will liam on November g the following:
 My Dear Boy: After the court cham berlain informed me that it was i'm possible longer to guarantee my safety at main headquarters and that the troops were no longer trustworthy, I resolved, after a severe mental struggle. to leave the army which had collapsed and go to Holland. I advise you to stick to your post until the conclusion of an armistice.
 Tn Berlin two governments, under the leadership of Ebert and Liebknecht. are fightnss against each other. 1 hope to see you in happier times
 Your faithful, deeply afflicted father.
 WILHELM"
 The crown prince on November 16 wrote to Premier Ebert asking permis- sion to remain at his post, so that he might bring back his army in a well disciplined and orderly manner. The government refused his request, where upon the crown prince, in a letter to { General von Hindenburg, resigned his command, declaring that he acted under deep emotion and a hard struggle against a course repugnant to his nature.
 Attempts To Justify
 In his letter the crown prince pro- ceeded to justify his attitude against those representing him as a war insti- gator and reactionary. He declared he had always taken the standpoint that the war for Germany was a. wa, of defense. He had repeatedly, durml 1916, 1917 and 1918. urged the person: concerned that Germany must by ever, the war and be glad at maintainins herself against the entire world on tn, basis of the status quo.
 T had long pleaded with General Lu dendorff, he asserted, for wise peac, by understanding under the favorabl, opportunity when we occupied positions during the spring offensive. As regard international policies, I would be tn, last person to oppose the liberal deyel opment of our constitution and I re peated this in writing to Prince Max Nevertheless, when the great even only was I not heard but was simpl, passed over as the crown prince an, heir to the throne.

TRY TO PROVE BASE
 BALL BIG MONOPOLY
 SUING FUR DAMAGES

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Testi- mony, apparently designed to prove organized baseball a monopoly within the meaning of the Sherman antitrust act was introduced today in the trial in the District of Columbia supreme court in the damage suit of the Balti- more Federal league club against the National and American leagues and certain officials of the former Federal league. The Baltimore club is seeking to recover damages of s900,000.
 Counsel for the Baltimore club called two witnesses today, F. Otto Knabe, assistant manager of the Chicago club Of the National league, and formerly manager of the Baltimore Federals, and l.. Edwin Goldman, former director of the complainant club. The former said he had signed numerous players and that the club was compelled to offer unusually large salaries. This was due, he said. to the realization by the players that they were going to a new organization and fear that if any thing happened to the new venture they might find it extremely difficult to return to the ranks of organized baseball.
 Few Good Bali Players
 Both witnesses were asked many questions regarding the reserve clause in the contracts of professional base ball players, Goldman asserting that it was through these clauses the organi- Zation maintained control of players from one season to another.
 In response to questions regarding the relative value of baseball players, Goldman gave it as his opinion that actually there were not enough real 1 first-class ball players in the country to form one team. He explained the system through which players are pur- chased and drafted. and agreed, on cross examination that the Federal | league, in paying big salaries to Ma l tional and American league stars who l jumped tothe Federals, did not have to l take into consideration the original draft price of the individuals
 George Wharton Pepper counsel for ! organized baseball, asked the witness ! whether he considered that part of the salary paid professional ball players was given the min consideration of the reservation the clubs held upon their services for the next season. MT. Gold man said it was not his understanding that the salary of ball players was so divided itno two parts.
