EMSLIE AN ARBITER
 TWENTY-NINE YEARS
Famous Umpire First Handled Indicator in Parent League.
Fans chide Bob About His Wig and Tell Him He Is Blind as Bat, but
 He Continues to Hold His Own

ieii rim He Is Blind as Bat, but
 He Continues to Hold His Own
 With Best of Them.
 One of the pleasing bits of informa- t1on announced from the National league offices last winter was the state ment from John HeydIer, president of the league, that Bob Emslie would be retained as regular umpire in the coming season. A few years ago old Bob was only a substitute, but his work has been so successful during the last two seasons that Heydler did we'll in putting him back on the regular staff.
 They may chide Bob about his wig, writes Frederick c. Lieb, and tell him he is "as blind as bat" but just the same old Bob continues to hold his own with the best.
 The season of 1919 marks Emslie's twenty-ninth successive year as a Na- tional league umpire, as he came into the league on August 19 1891. On Au- gust 19, 1916, the National league had quite a celebration in honor of his twenty-fifth National league birthday.
 Emslie is a Canadian and was born in that extremely virtuous city of Guelph, Ontario, on June 21, 1861. Later in life MT. Emslie removed him. self and all his earthly belongings to the lovely little city of St. Thomas, Canada, where he now resides. It was many, many seasons ago that Emslie was first heard of In baseball. Along, in the late seventies young hurler was making great reputation as an expert in making a baseball curve and curve in very deceptive manner. Emslie soon gained recogni- tion as one of the best pitchers in Canada, which, of course, was not say. ing much, for there were few hurlers of class residing within the domains of Queen Victoria at the period.

ALLEGES UNIONS

CANADIAN REDS
Testimony Given by Chair
man of Committee That
Financed Strikers in
Big Walkout.

Winnipeg, Dec. 81 Admission
that labor unions had been the tools
of Reds" in Winnipeg's general
strike last spring, was made by
William Percy, chairman of the COM
mittee which financed the walkout,
who testified at the trial on charges
CT .sedition conspiracy of B. r. Rus
sell, an alleged leader of the strike.
Percy denied, however, that any
"bolshevik funds" had been used i'll
financing the walkout. .
He said that although he did not
attribute the strike to Russell, as
the strike committee alone was re-
sponsible, he did blame Russell and
his supporters for misleading labor
unions as whole.
Percy took the stand after John
Lovatt. a former constable, had tes-
titled that the radical element in the
trades and labor council, led by
Russell and R. ]. Johns. had gained
control of the organization in 1918,
and had remained in the saddle un-
til last May, when the strike oc-
Cured. Lovatt, who represented the
Policemen's union in the council,
added that Sam Blunenberg, re-

upon the council as a delegate from
the building trades, notwithstand-

Puebla dispatch to Mexico City
newspaper, Jenkins was released
after ]. Salter Hansen had deposited
j $500 check for bail. Officials of
the State department said they had
no information whatever concern
ing Hansen or the question OF bail,
and that they did not know Hansen.
They stood on the statement that
the consular agent had been released
on demand of this government.
In some quarters, however, there
was suggestion that there may
have been confusion of names. as
Secretary Lansing announced that
dispatch from the American en-
bassy said Third Assistant Secretary
Matthew +. Hanna had been sent
to Puebla in connection with repre-
sensations for release of jenkins.
Officials declared, however, that
even if the names had been confused
there was no information here to in
dictate that Hanna had put up bond
and, in fact, they expressed utmost
assurance that he had not done so.
Reports from jenkins since his
arrest, and personal letters from him
to relatives in this country, have all
quoted him as being most deter
mined not to put up cent OF bail
in order to obtain his release. This
fact was cited by officials to support
their contention that the release of
the consular agent was brought
about "by urgent diplomatic repre-
sensations made this government
and the resulting investigation made
by General Pablo Gonzales, who
was sent to investigate the facts in
the case"
Jenkins Was Surprised.
Mexico City, Dec. s.-The freeing
of Mr.. jenkins came as a surprise to
him. He was awakened from his
nights sleep by Chief of Police
Zavaleta, and at once dressed him
self, gathered together his few be-
and was conveyed to his
home.

The number of bandits in the raid
ing party was not determined, but
they were reported heavily armed.
The only person molested was the
storekeeper, whom they bound and
gagged before looting the store.
All provisions i'll the store were
taken. The bandits packet them on

about the necessity of taking ac-
ton.
The Petit Parisien says that Ger
many considers it has gone too far
and that an unofficial note has been
received from Berlin announcing
that new negotiators will leave soon
for Versailles.
Situation is Critical.
The supreme council today con-
sidered further the note to be sent
to Germany regarding the pro-
tocol, but did not complete the docu-
ment.
The secret meeting held by the
supreme council yesterday with
Marshal Foch and General Wey-
gand, the marshal's assistant, in at
tendance, has provoked a great
amount of speculation as to event
ual military action across the Rhine
in case Germany does reply salts
factorily to the final note regarding
the protocol.
The American troops on the Rhine
now number 10000 men. No question
has as yet arise1 whether they
would participate in any action I'M
dertaken by the French and British.

Cabinet and Garfield
In Conference on Coal
Continued from Page One.)

ger service now has been ordered on
nearly all the government-controlled
railroads of the country. The east
ern and southern regional directors
| today took nearly the same action as
the directors of the north, central
and southwestern regions took in
ordering one-third reduction in
| train miles," which meant cancel
lation of many trains and much lux
ury equipment. Two famous 20-hour
trains between New York and Chi
cago, the Twentieth Century and
the Broadway Limited, were ordered
suspended.
Cancel Sc Trains.
Tonight traffic men were busily
engaged in preparing the shortened
schedules. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& St. Paul system had arranged for
cancellation OF SO trains. More than
dozen fast trains on the Missouri
Pacific, the Frisco and the M. K. &
I. systems were ordered eliminated.
The reduction in the north, central
and southwestern regions is effective
Monday, in the southern Tuesday
and in the eastern regions Wednes-
day.
Coal was said to be at about Is
per cent of normal production, and
while fuel administration officials
and operators were apparently opti-
mistic, no definite break in the strike
was announced.
Delegates at subdistrict conven-
ton OF miners in West Virginia
called upon 10000 miners in four
counties to return to work, even
though dissatisfied with the IA per
cent wage advance.
Governor Cox of Ohio, after a
conference with operators and min
ers, to be continued Monday, said
prospects were good for opening
some of Ohios mines soon.
Only a few men returned to work
in Missouri, where Governor Gard
ner had called out state troops and
appealed to the miners to return.
The mines were seized and volun-
teers for mining will go to work
soon.
Oklahoma Martial Law.
Gov. ]. D. Robertson of Okla
homa proclaimed martial law in the
mining counties of that state, the
first time in the history of Okla
homa, and an attempt will be made
to operate mines with volunteers.
Volunteers continued working in
the Kansas strip mines.
Three companies of federal in
fantry left Camp Lewis, Washing
ton, for the Montana coal fields.
Gov. Frank 0. Lowden of Illinois
telegraphed DR.. Garfield urging ap-
rointment of a commission to de-
eide basis for setting the strike.
A party of $50 business men and
officials of p states comprising the
Mississippi Valley association ar
ranged to go to Washington to con-
fer with fuel and rail officials rela-
tive to improving transportation and
distribution of coal in those states.
Gov. Samuel r. McKelvie of Ne
braska started for Washington to
urge DR.. Garfield to appoint admin
lstrators for each state.
Lieutenant Governor Oglesby OF
Illinois was sent to Washington by
Governor Lowden to represent Hi
nois in the capital.

ence of governors set for Sunday in

money to the winds In fashionable

automobiles in London. He finally came

would not attract attention as he
climbed into big car standing In front

he confined himself largely to this
method. He confessed, the police say,
to stealing thirty machines In the four
months he operated.
Meredith is accredited with saving
that he sold each car quickly to syn

often made from 400 to 700 per cent
profit after repainting the machines
