HERRMAN'S ESTIMATE IF FEDERAL FRANCHISE
 4 MERE LIABILITY
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Declara- tion that the franchise of the Baltimore Federal league club was a liability in stead of an asset and worth absolutely nothing was made by August Herr mann, chairman of the national base ball commission in testifying today in the $900,000 damage suit of the Balti- more club against the National and American leagues and certain officials of the defunct Federal league. MT. Hermann was on the stand the entire day and concluded his testimony just before the District of Columbia su- preme court which is hearing the cnse, adjourned until Monday.
 The Baltimore club. Mr.. Hermann testified had no players of value with the exception of one man. He did not give the name of this player
 We gave them an opportunity to dispose of all their players by sale or otherwise" the witness said in refer ence to negotiations with the Baltimore club following signing of the baseball peace agreement. Tn my judgment they had no players that any club wanted to purchase. Some of the Fed eral league clubs had few players of value. In my opinion the Baltimore franchise was not worth a dollar They had no circuit, no players of any value and their overhead expenses were too great and the attendance was not
 good
 Portions of an address given by ! Chairman Hermann at a. dinner ten dered the National Association of Pro- fessional Baseball leagues. by the Co., lumbus American Association club at Columbus in November 1913, were read to the iurV In the course of his ad- dress, MT. Hermann was quoted as saying that baseball was "open to all,' and that any one had a right to en-
 gage in it in any capacity that they please without any interference on the i part of those engaged in organized ball"
 MT. Hermann, said representatives of the Baltimore club were present at 1 the New York conferencevat which the
 Federal league signed the peace pact" with the two older leagues and at that time made an effort 10 obtain fran chise in either the National or Amer i ican leagues. Chairman Hermann said l he told the Baltimore representatives l that as matters stood there were as
 many clubs in the east as either league l desired.
 i The National commission. he said, ! was given full power to act in the mat l ter and it turned down the proposal to | give Baltimore 8 place in either of the 1 old legues. The commission promised, l however. he said, to use it's influence 1 in getting Baltimore into the lnterna | tional league. There was no thought l of conspiracy, he testified. and "noth- 1 ing whatever was done to hurt Balti- \ more'

FOREMOST OF JOCKEYS KILLED AT BALTIMORE

BALTIMORE, April 4.-Frankie Rob inson, Americas premier jockey, is dead at the University hospital here. Johnny McTaggert has two fractured ribs and Mooney and Sneidman are suffering from bruises and severe shaking up as the result of a spill in the sixth race today at Bowier Robinson, under con- tract to Harry Payne Whitney the New York millionaire, and the highest sal aried rider in the United States had a gaping hole torn in his skull.
 The accident occurred when a field of eight horses dashed to the first turn in a race of a mile and 20 yards for four-year- olds and a mix-up followed at the sharp turn
 Willie Doyle was held responsible by the track officials. They assert that Doyle. riding Garbage swerved over to the inside rail when his mount was not clear of the field causing Ted Rice, who rode Harwood, which was on the rail to pull up sharply. A tangle followed Robinson riding Rederer. was the sec ond to go down. Observers say the jockey was thrown over his mounts head and then kicked by the animal. McTaggart was on Dr. Charcot.

 The Coal Mems Statement
 WASHINGTON, April 4.-ChargeS made yesterday by Director General Hines that bituminous coal operators were attempting to eliminate compe- tition from the industry in order to force the public to pay unnecessary high prices were denied tonight by ]. D. A. Morrow, general secretary of the National Coal association. The coal operators represented through the coal association. recently refused to resume conferences with the indus trial board of the department of com merce with a view to price fling unless the board could guarantee the "co- operation of the railroad administra- tion.'
 MT. Morrow in a statement, asserted that from the outset of conferences with the railroad administration re- garding the railroad fuel policy, the coal operators had declined to discuss prices just as the director general had avoided trying to name a price which he considered fair for any district.
 The operators insisted he said, that any determination of fair prices should be made by an impartial agency. Tt should be clearly understood he said, that the bituminous i-dustry would not advocate such price determination under normal conditions. The indus try has recognized, however. that under the abnormal conditions of re- adjustment with widespread unem- ployment and unrest, a special condi ton prevails which should be met broadly and unselfishly and the op- orators have expressed their readiness to meet this condition in that manner The director general to date has not appeared willing to deal with this con- dition in that manner"
 Replying to the assertion of Director General Hines that the present ar rangements for obtaining railroad fuel adequately safeguarded the public interests involved. MT. Morrow de- clared that as much harm had been done to the industry by permitting coal speculators to bid on the railroad business without naming the mines from which the coal was to come, as by permitting purchasing agents of the various roads to name prices which operators would have to meet

JAP BRUTALITY
 AGAINST KOREANS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April flap anese soldiers entered and searched schools conducted by Americans in Pyengyang, Korea, according to a let ter from an American school teacher in that city to a relative, Samuel An derson. executive secretary of the American Relief campaign in northern California and Nevada which was made public by Anderson today.
 Writing of the reported disturbances in Pyengyang March l, the teacher said:
 My heart is breaking tonight at what I have seen today; helpless, un- armed people kicked, beaten. bayon- cited and. dragged off to jail without even resisting. Crowds of school boys and girls who had only sung the song of liberty were knocked down and kicked.
 The Koreans are unarmed. l think it strange that they offer no resist ance, but I have heard that the Ko reans are doing a lot of praying which accounts for the fact.
 q am sure the Japanese government Cat Tokio) does not realize how brutal the soldiers here are or it never would permit it. The Japanese have been very kind to us foreigners and We an- preciate it.
 "They searched our school buildings today. but they know that Americans are neutral and intend to do the right thing. They found nothing in our rooms, of course.
 Lots of arrests have been made. but the Koreans seem as determined as ever to keep yelling for freedom and to remain passive when attacked. '
