scent TROLLEY FARE
DEMAND IN CAMDEN
Councils Will Test Corporations
Right to Break Agreement
With City
ZONE SCHEME DENOUNCED

Camden intends to wage its own fight
against the zone fare plan which the
Public Service Railway Company hopes
TO impose on 1000 900 or more riders in
the state Of New Jersey. according to
the special committee of Camden City
Council. which at spirited meeting
last night decided to test the trolley
company's right to break its contract
made with the city of Camden, in which
straight five cent fare in the city
limits was promised and agreed to.
Because of the failure of other mu-
inequalities in South Jersey to pay
their share of the expense of a con
certed fight. Camden will fight alone.
Frank l.. Sommer. of Newark. is the
special counsel who represents Cam
den. Newark. Jersey City and Bayonne
in the fight on the Public Service.
The special committee of Council
voted to allow Mr.. SOmmer to present
Camden's grievances to the Public Ctil-
tiles Commission.
A straight five cent fare for the city
limits in Camden will be asked by the
committee. The request will be made
on three mile limit. This limit will
take care of points on the outskirts of
tho city. tramer Hlll. eueral street
and Haddon avenue lines are within
three miles Of the city limits. Glouces-
ter City is not full three miles.
IL the request for five cent fare in
the city limits is refused then the city
will take up the fight to compel the troll
lev company to stand by its original
agreement with the city TO furnish serv-
ice in the city limits for FIVE cent
fare. The fight will likely be carried
to the courts.
The members Of the committee agreed
that n zone system would likely he put
in effect. However. the opinion was
expressed that city riders should not
pay the bill. The suburbanites were
declared to be more frequent riders and
they should be expected to pay zone
fare rate.
"Camdcn cannot mutt in this fight for
n FIVE cent fare in the city limits said
Chairman William S. Abbott ''If we
don't wage fight to the finish we will

FEDERAL LEAGUE WAS LIABILITY, DECLARES
 HERMANN AT TRIAL
Baltimore Club Had Only One Valuable Player. Suit
 Court Is Told

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Deelara- tion that the franchise of the Balt.- more Federal league baseball club was a liability instead of an asset and worth absolutely nothing" was made August Hermann, chairman of the national baseball commission in testi- flying today in the $90O,O0O damage suit of the Baltimore 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 supreme court which is hear ing the case adjourned until Monday.
 The Baltimore club, Mir. Hermann testified, had no players of value with the exception of one man. He did not give the name of this player.
 Few Valuable Players
 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 Balti- more club following signing of the baseball peace agreement. Tn my judgment they had no players that any club wanted to purchase. Some of the Federal league clubs had few play CTS of value. In my opinion the Balti- more franchise was not worth 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 jury. In the course of his address, Mir. Hermann was quoted as saying that baseball was "open to alp and that anyone had a right to en- gage in it in any capacity that they please without any interference of the part of those engaged in organized baseball"
 Asked Big League Club
 Mir. Hermann said representatives of the Baltimore club were present at the New York conference at which the Federal league signed the peace pact" with the two older leagues and at that time made an effort to obtain a franchise in either the National or American league. Chairman Hermann said he told the Baltimore represen- tatives that as matters stood there were as many clubs in the east as eith- CT league desired
 The national commission, he said was given full power to act in the mat ter and it turned down the proposal to give Baltimore place in either of the old leagues. The commission promised however, he said, to use its influence in getting Baltimore into the Interna- tional league. There was no thought of conspiracy, he testified, and moth ing whatever was done to hurt Balti- more"

written in 1914 showing that Ger many's peace terms, if she won, would include large annexations and indem- mites, Herr Landauer, a representa- tive of the Munich soldiers and work mems council, declared in a speech at Augsburg, Bavaria, according to a dis patch to the Frankfort eZitung. Lan- dauer. who was speaking at meeting in memory of Kurt Fisher, the late Bayarian premier, said he had copy of the document
 Landauer at first refused to give the name of the author, except that ne was still member of the government Finally, however, he said that the per son to whom he alluded was Herr Erz- berger.
 Among the peace terms mentioned in the document, Landauer said, were:
 Annexation of Belgium, French Nor mandy and several towns on the south eastern coast of Egypt.
 Annexation of the territories on the eastern frontier of Germany which have since become separate states.
 Establishment of a large German colonial empire.
 Payment of a war indemnity calcu- lated to cover Germany's expenses during the first ten months of the war as we'll as the entire German debt be- fore the war.
 Herr Landauer asserted that these terms were approved in principle by General von Falkenhayen, General von Moltke and Admiral von Tirpitz.
