PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL IS
 ANTITRUST ACT VIOLATION

Washington, March 25.-Profession- al baseball as organized since 1905 was attacked as an absolute monopoly and a violtion of the Sherman anti trust act, by counsel for the Balti- more Federal Leagae club in begin ming the clubs suit for S900,G00 dam ages against National and American League clubs and certain officials of the defunct Federal League. The case is being heard by a jury in the supreme court of the District of Co- lumbia.
 "Combinations among the various leagues and clubs described as organ ized baseball" asserted William L.. Marbury, attorney for the prosecution, lis and has been since 1903 an abso- lute and complete monopoly and the maintenance thereof is a violation Of the Sherman anti trust law. Conduct of organized baseball under regula- tions of the national commission con- Stitutes a monopoliZa ton of trade and commerce in baseball"
 Mr. Marbury contended that after investing more than $200,000 in equip ment, the stockholders of the club had been betrayed' by three officials of the former Federal League. These officials he named as James A. Gil more, president Of the Federai League; Charles F. Weegham, prest- dent of the Chicago Federal League club. and Harry Sinclair, president of the leagues Newark club, all of whom are defendants in the case.
 Although officials of the Baltimore club were present at the meeting in Cincinnati December, 1915, when the "peace pact" with the National and American Leagues was signed MT Marbury contended that the agreement entered into was not sanc- toned by the Baltimore club repre- sertatives. He also charged that ir the final settlement, all of the other Federal League clubs received more favorable consideration.
 The total amount lost by the Fal- timore club, he said. was about $300,- 0a0 and a suit for $500, ,000 was
 brought on the grounds that triple damages could be claimed for viola ton Of the Sherman antitrust act.

LESS TAXES URGED

WASHINGTON. July 2i.-Action by

ways from taxes was suggested yes

Harvard, as o method OF relieving the
traction companies Of their present
financial difficulties. Professor Bullock
appeared before The Federal Eieclrio

pointed by Pres dent Wilson 10 investi-

Professor Bullock, former president
OF The National Tax Association, tod
the commission that no argument Was
needed 10 demonstrate that the slths-

carious. If the federal government IS

Professor Bullock, switch the states

yiously be appropriate for 10 to lead
the way by relieving electric railways
at least for a limited term OF years
from some Of the federal taxation now
imposed"
Professor Bullock went exhaustlyely
into tax leyies on street railway Prop
eriy in various STATES. To lemon
strate that these taxes run the gamut
from special imposis, such as siiect
pavings TO taxes on gross receipts,
capital stock and the federal income

The financial crsis which confrOnts
the electric railways is so evident" he
said, that no argument 3, is needed to
demonstrate that. along with other
measures OF relief. a substantial redu,-
tion should be made in their taxes
Summarized. Professor Bullock made
the following concrete suggestions re
garding taxation relief.
That municipalities should waive
the special taxes now eXacted for ,he
use OF streets and charge only for
extra cost Of maintenance, II any, nr-
casioned by the presence OF car tracks
That other special taxes levied by
stale ard municipal governments in
excess OF those imposed on ordinary
business enterprises ought TO be re-
duced or abolished. as the situation
may require
That relief from ordinary taxes i'm
posed on property cannot be justified
except in cases OF, extreme emergency.
In the street railway world. he added.
such an emergency canRQl be conclu-
sively held to exist until Ire railways
have first been relieved OF the taxes
violating the principles OF equality and
have been permitted TO increase their
fares as may be expedicnt and prac-
ticable
In 1917, Professor Bullock said the
