|MPEACH GOVERNOR
 EXONERATE HAV|VER
Republican A. P. Leased wlre1

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April Elm peachment of Governor W. L. Harding and exoneration of Attorney General H. NJ. Havner, in connection with the charges growing out of their activities in the Rathbun pardon case, will be recommended to the Iowa house of representatives next week by the ju- dietary committee. The committee which last night voted to recommend impeachment of the governor decided late today that the evidence was not sufficient to sustain charges of miscon- duct against the attorney general. The committee report will be given to the house Tuesday.
 Considerable discussion resulted on the question of recommending censure for Havner, but it was finally voted down q to 2.
 During the committees investigation of the Rathbun pardon, Havner was charged with consenting to the quash- ing of certain indictments when young Rathbun agreed to go to Anamosa reformatory to serve his life sentence for criminal assault.
 The committee will recommend Gov ernor Harding's impeachment on the grounds, it is understood, that he did not thoroughly investigate the case when the application for pardon was made, and then, when he found fraud had been practiced upon him, he did not do his utmost to revoke the pardon,

Plucky Aarmdn B0lked In H1s
 Ocean Flight

ST. JOHNS N. F., April 12.- A southeastern blowing half a gale across Mount Pearl plateau, just before nightfali today, prevented the attempt of Harry G. Hawker, plucLy British airman to realize his ambition of being first to fly across the Atlantic, thereby win ming not only fame but the $50,0 prize of the London Daily Mail.
 After a preliminary flight which demonstrated that his big Zopwith plane was perfectly tuned, Hawker decided to "hop off" at o'clock, if he could complete his arrange ments. All the adjustments of the machine had not been made at that time however, and the start was put off until p. m. By that hour the high wind had made it inadvisable to make the attempt, for the aviator previously had been warned storm was raging in mid Atlantic.
 Hawkre refused tonight to dis cuss the delay or to indicate when he hoped to start, although it had been announced earlier that he would try to get away tomorrow.

LAPS POLITELY bUT DEFINITELY DENIED EQUALITY

PARIS, April 12-The league of na- tions commission has rejected the Jap anese amendment on racial equality, according to an authoritative statement issued tonight. Some of the members of the commission voted against the specific inclusion of this amendment in the covenant and, as unanimous ap- proval of the commission was neces- sary, the amendment which was strongly urged by the Japanese dele gates, failed of adoption The statement follows:
 At a meeting of the league of na- tion's commission on Friday, April II, the Japanese delegation proposed an amendment to the preamble of the covenant as follows:
 TO insert after the words by the prescription of open, just and honor able relations between nations,' an ad- ditional clause, to read: By the en- dorsement of the principle of equality of nations and just treatment of their nationals
 c Presentation Admirable
 'The amendment was admirably presented by Baron Makino. In the course of his speech he emphasized the great desire of the Japanese govern ment and of the Japanese people, that such Q prlrclple De recognized Tn the covenant. His argument was support ed with great force by Viscount Chinda-
 "A discussion followed in which practically all of the members of the commission participated. The discus sion was marked by breadth of thought free and sympathetic exchange of opin- ion and complete appreciation by the members of the commission of the diff ficulties which lay in the way of either accepting or rejecting the amendment
 "The commission was impressed by the justice of the Japanese claim and Il by the spirit in which it was presented Mention was frequently made, in the course of the discussion, of the fact that the covenant provided for the rep resentation of Japanese on the execu- f tive council as one of the five grea1 powers, and that a rejection of tho proposed amendment could not, there fore, be construed as diminishing tho prestige of Japan.
 "Various members of the commis. sion, however, felt that they could no vote for it's specific inclusion in tn, covenant. Therefore, the commission was reluctantly unable to give to tn, amendment that unanimous approva which is necessary for it's adoption"

bO[SHEV|K| ARE CAUSE IF TANK
 RUSSIAN MUT|AY
Gen. March Advised That One Man Is At Bottom of Trouble = Leaflet Circu- lated Duplicate of Bolshe. wiki Literature Disorder Is At End Now.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Official reports to the war department made public today by General March, chief of staff, show that the mutiny among the American troops at Archangel was. directly due to propaganda circulated hy bolsheviki sympathizers among the men, all of the questions asked by the soldiers of their officers having been directly suggested in leaflets urging the Americans to revolt. The mutiny appears to have ended when the men entrained for the front.
 We have a report from Murmansk.' General March said, ito the effect that the organization which was referred to is Company l. 339th infantry. The dis patch states:
 '' It is worthy of note that the oues- tions that were put to the officers by the men were identical with those thar the bolsheviki propaganda leaflets ad- vised them to put to them
 q have not seen this leaflet, but I am very anxious to get it. This is a very striking thing. I have had long experience in the army and I do not recall ever having seen American sol diers who did not want to get into fight. They always said: Lead me to It, and went to It.
 Wants Copy of Pamphlet
 Tt is a very important thing. We want to get hold of that bolsheviki pamphlet and find out just what they are up to-"
 The information of the source of the mutiny, coupled with the fact that no reports Of further refusals to do duty have come, led officers to believe that events would show that the single agi- tator in company I, who was arrested for stubborn refusal to proceed with his company when the others had de- cided to obey, was very largely respon- sible for what happened. They regarded it as almost certain that he would prove to be a man with bolshevik ten dencies and had no doubt that he would be severely punished. The remainder of the company, it was said. would take different view of their action when they realized how it was viewed at home. A The general situation of the forces at Murmansk and Archangel has been improved, General March said, through i the reopening of the railroad from Murmansk south, bringing the distant southern outposts into direct touch with headquarters. The chief of staff did not believe the military situation in 1 Northern Russia was at all alarming. He said transportation svas open to such an extent that there would be little difficulty in withdrawing the | forces.

 WASHINGTON, April 12.-Judgment for sS0,000 in favor of the Baltimore Federal Baseball club, in it's suit for $500, 900 damages against the American and National leagues and certain off, cers of the defunct Federal league, was returned late today by a jury in the District of Columbia supreme court As the suit was brought under the Sher- man antitrust law, the damages will be trebled, making the amount s240,- GOO, if final judgment is entered.
 The jury deliberated about six hours. Immediately after the verdict was re- turned, counsel for organized baseball announced that an appeal would be taken to the District of Columbia court of appeals and, if necessary, to the United States supreme court.
 Associate Justice Stafford, the trial judge, in charging the jury said:
 'The acts of the defendant, alleged and proved by way of maintaining the system of organized baseball, consti- tuted in law an attempt to monopolizs the business of competitive baseball exhibitions for profit, and as an insep- arable part thereof, to monopolize commerce between the states, and were done in violation of the anti trust laws"
 sTf such acts" continued Justice Stafford, injured the plaintiff in it's business or property, the plaintiff is entitled to compensation.
 Charge Favors Plaintiff
 '1n respect to those acts alleged to have been committed by the defendant, with particular reference to the Fed erai league, and for the purpose of re- moving that league as a competitor by persuading it's officers and members to break up the league, if such acts were committed as charged for the purpose and with the intent of remov- ing and thereby perfecting the monop- oly attempted to be created by the general system of organized baseball referred to, such acts were done in vio- lation of the antitrust laws; and if and insofar as they did in fact injure the plaintiff in it's business or property. tho plaintiff is entitled to recover com pensatory damages.
 The suit was instituted in the district supreme court september 20, 1917, i'm mediately after 8 similar action brought in Philadelphia had been dismissed on motion of Judge Stewart S. Janney, chief counsel for the Baltimore club, who gave as his reasons that evidence produced during the trial of the case showed that the Baltimore club had acquiesced in the arrangements for dissolving the Federal league in De- cember, 1915.
 Organized baseball was charged with monopoly of the baseball business in restraint of trade between the different states. The Baltimore club alleged that it had been damaged to the ex- tent of $300,000, on account of the fail ure of the Federal league, and that un- der the provisions of the Sherman anti trust law it was entitled to three times this amouHt.
