FOUR TEAM CITY
 LEAGUE IS PLAN
 OF BUSINESS MEN
Frank Franey Believes To- cal Fans Would Support

Definite plans are being made by local business men and baseball fans for four team city league here this summer. Frank Franey, a live business man as we'll as live baseball fan, despite a number of consecutive summers experience gain ed from managing and otherwise being connected with city leagues, stated yesterday that he was willing to try again, and intended to begin q movement here among the fans, busi- ness men-a term which is almost synonymous-and players, for the or ganization of real, sure enough city league. He has already taken the matter up with several men who arc very enthusiastic.
 "Wc have had many city leagues, '' MT. Franey said yesterday, "and the most of them fizzled out before the Fourth of July. What want to dc is organize a real league, and the only way to do that is put it on a business basis"
 No details have been worked out yet, according to Mir. Francy, as he is waiting first to feel out popular senti- ment. "With the light saving plan in effect all summer. we will have an extra hour in the afternoon he said "and I am going to try to interest the Rotary club to prevail on all busi- ness houses to close at o'clock. or one day of the week to allow the employees a chance to attend the games"

Representative Gard offered an
amendment proposing an appropria-
ton of $1,000 with which to purchase

stated that if a pulmotor and a tele-
phone to call a physician had been at

A point of order was raised against
this amendment by Representative
Walsh of Massachusetts.
Speaking on the point of order, Rep
resentative Treadway repeated on the
floor of the House the protest that he
nad made a couple of days ago to Col.

scr:bed the management of the beach
as grossly negligent"
He said that the guards are "ab-

Representative Treadway also called

URGED IN
JULY FOURTH PLANS

Macfarland Explains.

Henry B. F. Mcfarland, former Com

cooperation upon the people Of Wash
ington in the plan for an Independence
day festival. The coming celebration
Mr.. Mcfarland said, is the most sig
nif1cant from the standpoint of liberty
and civilization that has been witness
ed in all the history of the United
States. Mr.. Mcfarland said:
All the civilized world will cele-
brate our Independence day this year.
1t will be the greatest celebration of
the principles of the Fourth of July
ever known. Liberty, equality and
fraternity. under the reign of law.
have been once more vindicated and
preserved together with the decencies
and sanctities of our civilization and
While the other capitals are cele-
brating the day which now stands
for the freedom and progress of man
kind. our own National Capital should
have the finest celebration possible. The
plans promise just such result
Our own government and the gov
ernments of the allies and neutral
powers are taking active part, and the
patriotic people of Washington will,
as always, do their full share. AS In
the great war, Washington gave in
men and money and service more than
it's share, just as in former wars and
in response to every national and in
ternational appeal, SO Washington
will do now. Washington has had
many notable Fourth of July celebra-
tiOns.
Among those attracting national
and even international attention was
that of 1908, when we set the exam
pie of safe and sane celebration, then
opposed and even ridiculed, but since
adopted by all Of the principal cities
of the country. But the celebration
of the coming Independence day
promises to be unique. The United
States, the allies and the neutral
countries will celebrate victory for
the principles of the Declaration OF
independence with beautiful symbol
