Forbids Writing Message.

The President again had the in
dustrial conference very much on
his mind yesterday. and he cx-
pressed desire to write a message
to the men assembled. But DR..
Grayson forbade this. He fears that
any excessive activity On the part
OF the President might pave the
way for a serious reaction, and his
original prescription of absolute
rest and quiet stir1 holds full sway
over the White House.
An afternoon Washington paper
carried an article yesterday saying

Condition Encouraginx.

In a statement from Secretary
Tumulty. at the conclusion of the
special cabinet meeting yesterday,
there was a further reference to
the Presidents condition. 1t said:
admiral Grayson reported that
the Presidents condition is encour-
aging but suggested that only ur-
gent matters be brought to his at
tention in order that ,his rest be
made as complete as possible. The

MALES LAST WORK | OUT HELD IN SECRET
New Haven Team Optimistic as They Leave for Cambridge

New Haven. Nov. 2o.-At 3:sO o'clock yesterday afternoon Capt. Finn Callahan led his Yalc football .quad from the Yale Bowl after the zlnal workout of the season. The #eam and it's supporters are confident Pt victory, and the physical condition the team warrants the optimism hc hnal practice was conducted in exceptionally cold weather For fear nJuring his men Coach Sharpe had lo scrlmmage for the big eleven. The hrst, second and third teams pad half an hour of signal drill in Ehich Robinson and Allen alternated right end on the varsity. Aliens n1ured shoulder refuses to stand the 8train, so Robinson is the favorite for tartlng against Harvard. The third Team had the honor of having Thorne durphy act as quarterback for time yesterday afternoon, It was the first &forkout Murphy had since the Bos- lon college game drove him to the &nfirmary with a badly sprained ankle.
 Of additional interest was the pres nee of former Capt. Cupid Black at guard on the college in a scriInmage Eith the second varsity. Black $ouldn't bring victory to the scrubs, owever. as Mac Aldrich went over for
 touchdown and kicked goal. AL rich was the star of the practice |ame. He and French brought the 3all down the field after varsity had cid the scrubs for downs. It prin- ipally was on brilliant twenty yard un by Aldrich that the score came bout.
 Joe Neville Paul Crane and AL rich each had bunting practice. Crane as the edge on other Ellis in the Xooting department and with this ear's seasoning should prove a val able backfeld man next year. Ne ille will do Yale's bunting on Satur- lay. He is due to retrieve his poor
 oots in the first half of the Prince : pn game.
 Yesterdays session was secret, de- bite previous announcement. The
 ldden change on the part of the
 oaches put an end to the proposed

AMERICAN LEAGUE
 FIGHT GETS HOTTER
Majority Directors Call Meeting and Send Lawyer After Johnson

New York. Nov. 2O.--WhcthCr the sunrenoo authority in the American league rests with the majority dlrec- l tors or with Ban Johnson, president 1 of the league, will be put to unlque test when it comes time to hold the annual meeting of the league, winch according to the American league constitution shall be held on the sec ond Wednesday of each December.
 The majority directors of the Amer ican league, Ruppert of New York, COmiskey of Chicago and Frazec of Boston, in session at the Hotel Bilt- more yesterday, issued a call for the annual meeting of the board of direc- tors to be held at the Biltmore, New York, at 10 o'clock a. m. on Decem- Der 10, 1919, and for the annual meeting of the. American league at the same place at 12 o'clock noon on Decent Der 10.
 With one or two exceptions the Am erican league always has held it's an- nual meeting at Chicago, following a call by Ban Johnson, president of the circuit. Johnson, 1t is believed, will in the near future issue the reg ular call for the annual meeting in Chicago, when it will be up to the American league club owners to de- eide for themselves whether they in tend to attend Johnson's meeting or come to the meeting of the directorate al New York.
 Meeting in Two Cities.
 In the event that the American league club owners take sides the way they have been doing it means that the Cleveland, St. Louis, Detroit. Phil aclo crtn al, meet in Chicago, while New York, Boston and Chicago will meet in New York. Lieut.. Col. Huston of the Yankees, however, expressed the opinion that sufficient club owners would come to the New York meet ing to hold quorum.
 Should five clubs go to any meet ing which Johnson might call any ac- ton they might take would be null and, void," said Huston, "as their meeting would be illegal. The su preme authority in the league is the board of directors, and because John son heretofore has usurped authority which he never possessed it does not mean that he can get away with it indefinitely
 The majority directors yesterday showed some of the tricks which they had insisted they were holding back for the proper time. t.s
 In addition to taking it upon them selves to issue the call for the annual meeting, they sent an emissary to Johnson to learn from him just why he is holding office. The majority di- rectors say they believe that John- son is illegally holding office.
 While Johnson was elected presf- dent of the league in 1910 for a pe- riod of twenty years, it is now argued that if Johnson was so elected the election was contrary to the American league constitution, which says that the president shall be elected annually. i They also want to know by what au- 1 thority Johnson claims he was elect 1 cd president for twenty years.

Tex Rickard May Bring Joe Beckett to America if He Defeats Carpcn- tier December i.

LlCr DeCcmDcr l.
 New York, Nov. .20-If Joe Beckett the English heavyweight champion who is to box Georges Carpenter. heavyweight champion of Europe, at the Holborn Stadium, London. De- cember 4, defeats the F'renchman there is hardly a doubt that Beckett will come to America and meet Dempsey in a bout for the worlds championship. This is evident from the fact that Beckett has asked Tex R1ckard to act as his American rep rcsentatlVe, and there is not d doubt Dempsey Willard match will have the Briton come here for a battle With the worlds champion.
 Should Carpenter be returned the winner the plans of Rickard would be upset, but as he is a resourceful promoter he might induce CarDeatier to brave the ocean and meet tine worlds champion on the soil Of the United States. Rickard plans a trin to- Europe in the near future, and there is excellent reason for the be- lief that he will have an opponent for Dempsey by the time he returns to America.
 A match between Dempsey and tic winner of the Beckett -Carpentiel' contest would prove very attractive if staged in this country next spring.

Brown Coach Thinks Harvard
 Should Defeat Yale Saturday

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 20.--~in the opinion of Ed Robinson football coach at Brown, Harvard system should win over Yale in their game on Saturday. Robinson had a chance to size up the rivals when they played Brown. It will be emembered that Harvard defeated Brown by z to 0 and that Yale won over the Providence eleven by 4 to o. Harvard possesses a system,' said Robinson at New Haven last Saturday, "a wealth of material and Casey. Yale has wonderful material, no we'll de- fined system and kempton. The one getting the breaks ought to win, and Harvard if it carries out it's system, will make it's own breaks and take ad- vantage of them, and, barring acci- dents, ought to win.
 "Aginst Harvard Brown made seven first downs, while nine were made against Yale. About the same number of forward passes were attempted and completed, so that, taking the two games as a basis, the teams seem about equal, offensively and defensive

Brown Helped Yale.

Brown by fragrant playing on the part of the backield, gave Yale at least five chances to score. This, coupled with the poor physical condi tion of some of the members of the team, accounts in measure for Yale's improvem ent in the second half, when all the scoring was done. Against Harvard Brown made one continuous advance of more than 60 yards and was finally held up by her own poor judgment.
 Against Brown Harvard depended on sending Ralph Horween over the line, while Yale relied on opening up a hole for Braden. This makes the Harvard offense more certain of gains and. followed up by the off tackle dashes of her brilliant backs, rounds out a more dependable offense. In the open game, judging by her work against Brown, Harvard covers up the play better and varies the pass more skilfully than Yale
 ''KemptOn, against Brown, gave the play away, but showed pronounced ability to complete his pass with ac- curacy and dexterity. In the kicking game the Crimson teams are always well grounded. Against Brown, the kicks were higher and better covered than was the case in the Brown Yale game. Both teams use an unbalanced line.
 "On defense the Harvard line is harder to pierce, but the men are li- able to get confused, while the Yale secondary defense is more dependable
 Summarizing the two teams, both from a defensive and offensive stand point, Harvard is smoother. moro uni
 
 men carry out their detail with greater precision. The teams have equally good kicl1ers if the opportunity offers for a field goal. Neither is lacking in weight or speed, and they are equally powerful"

Japan. naturally alarmed, demanded
that Russia evacuate Manchuria, and
Russia repeatedly promised to do so.
but never fulfilled her promises. Japan
saw a great European power confront
ing her in threatening attitude; per-
haps threatening her very existence
as an independent nation. On Februf
ary of 1904 she severed diplomatic re-
lations with Russia and two days later
Admiral Togo made torpedo attack
upon the Russian feet lying at Port
Arthur, followed by fleet attack the
following day. BY these two attacks
the Russian fleet at Port Arthur was
practically put out Of commission. On
the day of the last attack Japanese
fleet defeated the Russian squadron
lying of Chemulpo.
Japan Declared War.
The next day Japan formally de-
clared war.
The subsequent events of the war
were the bombardment Of Vladivostok
March 6; bombardment of Port Arthur
March 21; occupation of Wiju at the
mouth of the Yalu river April 6, and
the passage of the river and the defeat
of the Russian army opposing on May i.
The Japanese army was now in Man.
churia and another japanese army oc-
cupied Korea. The Japanese navy
utterly destroyed Russia's sea power
in the Pacific and the japanese army,
after a series of victories, laid siege to
Port Arthur. Another Japanese army
drove the Russians northward in Man
churia and administered crushing
defeat at Mukden.
The Russian transportation and sup.
ply corps utterly broke down and be.
came useless; grand dukes at the Man.
churian headquarters reveled in car-
loads of courtesans and champagne
while the soldiers needed food and
clothing, and there was an orgy of.

Port Arthur made valiant defense
but surrendered on January /, 1905.
Provisions Of Treaty.
By this treaty Japan and Russia
mutually agreed to evacuate Man
churia, excepting the Liao-tung pc
ninsula, which was taken over by
Japan. Russia transferred her lease
Of Port Arthur to Japan, as we'll as the
railroad connecting Port Arthur with
the Manchurlan railroad. The Man
churian railroads were to be used for
commercial purposes only. Russia
ceded to, Japan the island of Saghalin,
great island stretching north and
south along the Siberian coast. and
gave Japan fishing rights on all the
Pacific waters of Russia.
The Russian humiliation was COM

long afterward Great Britain became
her ally.
