PEACE ENJOYS GET

London Newspapers Charge

Hungary's Plight.
BY the Associated Press.

Z LONDON, March 25.-Morning news
papers unanimously charge the Paris
peace conference with responsibility
for Hungary's embracing boishevism
and the general dissatisfaction over
the delay of peace, but the manner in
which it has incurred responsibility is
rariously explained.
While treating the Hungarian epi-
sode more lightly thaHothers, because
it does not believe the whole country
will, initiating Budapest, become boil

ence of delaying peace while its
idealists are Following the wil1-o'-

The Telegraph ascribes the gravity
of the situation to a dangerous mis-

The Chronicle thinks Hungary has

ion and that if the council Of ten
responds it may prove a blessing in dis
guise.
'If the council of ten" it says, had
not for many months shown marked
incapacity for action, no one need

High Praise for Game.
No Right to Monopolize.

''The desire to witness these base
ball games is universal in the United
States.' he continued, "and the bust
ness of furnishing facilities and op-
portunities to the people to witness
these games is one that no man or
set of men, however rich and pow
erful, has right to .monopolize."
The lawyer insisted that the de-
cisions of the courts seem to make
it clear that the business of organic
ing base ball clubs. arranging sched-
ules and contests in different states
and transporting these organized
bodies of men, with all their equip
ment and supplies from state to state,
constitutes interstate commerce
He said he expected to show that
such commerce had been prevented
by the defendants through methods
which he characterized as ruthless
and lawless."
The base ball magnates have estab-
lished, he asserted. and for ten or
twelve years maintained a monopoly
of furnishing professional base ball
exhibitions and have used every eff
fort to prevent any invasion of their
monopoly, as he called it.

case of small child who had been
run over by a wagon of the Standard
Oil Company. The child was awarded
a verdict. for $4,000 damages.
A list Of twenty jurors was furnish
ed to counsel in the base ball case,
and each side struck off the names of
four persons whom for one reason. or
another they did not care to have sit
in Judgment of the case. The twelve
men whose names remained on the
list were then sworn as jurors.

Second Line Of Policy.

The people of the victorious nations
said, I'VE have suffered enough, we
are exhausted, and we will fight no
more" There was, then, a second
line of policy. 1t lay within our
power to support the Ukranians, the
Rumanians, the Poles and the people
of the Baltic provinces, who had
sense of nationalism more or less
strongly defined, who had, in the case
of the Ukranians, a system of pri-
vate property and small peasant
holdings, endangered by the bolshe-
visit program.
We might have limited bolshevism
to the Moscovite faction of Russia,
which only in the last two centuries
has added to itself the people of the
fringes. The Rumanians, the Poles,
the Lithuanians and the Ukranians
asked nothing better than allied

CALLSO. B. TRUST;
PLAYERS SLAVES
Baltimore FederaIs' Attorney
Opens Argument in Suit for
100000 Damages.

Organized base ball is not only a
monopoly. but by the reserve clause
of its contract makes slaves of it's
players. declared Attorney William l..
Marbury of the Baltimore bar, in the
opening statement to jury in the Su-
preme Court of the District of CO.
lumbfa today at the commencement of
the trial before Justice Stafford of the
suit for 100000 damages brought by
the Baltimore Federal League club
against the clubs OF the National and
American leagues and certain officials
of the defunct Federal League.
Says Base Ball Is Commerce.
Mr.. Marbury insisted that base ball
is subject of commerce and not only
that, but of interstate commerce and
that by its ''monopolistic" method or
ganized base ball throttled competi-
tion and made itself liable to the anti
trust laws. He recited the damage
the Baltimore Feds sustained ac-
cording to their cohtention, by reason
OF the purchase of the other clubs of
the Federal League and thereby pre-
venting the Baltimore Feds from con-
tinuing their schedule. He placed
tHlS INJURY at $3O0,OOO and said the
law provided a penalty of three times
the actual damage.
High Praise for Game,
Mr.. Marbury paid tribute to base
ball playing as an efficient method of
physical development, declaring it
largely instrumental in making the
American "doughboy" inyincible on
the battlefields of Europe.
Since the days of the Olympian
games Of Greece" said Mr.. Marbury,
mo people have ever possessed a ma
tional sport so splendidly adapted to
develop the young manhood, to culti-
vate alertness. quickness. efficiency,
and every physical
and intellectual quality as the great
American game of base ball. 1t was
largely the training that So many of
them had on the diamond that made
the American 'eoughboy' invincible on
the battlefields of Europe last year.

WHAT EDWARDS WILL DO.

BIZ The Associated PTesa-
TRENTON, Nov. 6:-Interest al
ready is beginning to be manifested
in the inaugural message of Cover
nor-elect Edward 1. Edwards, next
January, for it is expected that 1t
may contain his first normal state
ment Of the methods he will pursue
in his promised attempt to make New
Jersey wet"
What method he will adopt in solv-
ing the problem is the subject of
much conjecture. There appears to
be rather general opinion in we'll
informed quarters that he can do
nothing to prevent full operation of
the Volstead prohibition enforcement
law and the eighteenth amendment.
State officials, lawyers, business men
and citizens in general apparently
hold this view. Some men here are
inclined to think that large part of
the Edwards vote was cast by men
who wished to register a protest
against prohibition but who had lit
tie or no hopes that anything could
be done to stop enforcement
However, an indication was given
here yesterday of the seriousness with
which some voters hold the hope that
Mr.. Edwards will make the state
wet"
Mr.. Edwards has given no indica-
tion of the method he will use to at
tempt to carry out his campaign
pledge to make the state "wet."

T XC|SE BOARD
AWAITS o., o.; :. e {:
Concerning issuance Of Saloon
Licenses During Dry Spell

The membess OF the Excise Board
have requested the City Clerk to
communicate with the City Attorney
with reference to the authority OF
their board to grant licenses while
Wartime Prohibition is in force. This
was the most important happening at
the excise board meeting held last
night.
In reference to this letter, City
Attorney Goldberger announced to-
day that his reply to the communica-
tion would be in accordance with the
decision of Justice Swayze of the
Supreme Court. who stated that the
excise board has no right to grant
licenses while Wartime Prohibition
Is in force, and they would not be al
lowed to grant any licenses until this
decision Is reversed by the Court or
Errors and Appeals. whose decision is
expected very shortly.
Attorney Goldberger also stated he
believed the Excise Board did not
care to grant any licenses at the
meeting last night until they We're
sure that their action was lawful. he
also stated that Judge DAILY IN New
Brunswick is doing likewise, and IS
laying over all requests until stand
ing decision has been made.
The transfer of the license of FLOYD
Brown to Robert Hubble, situated at
S25 Amboy avenue, which was lald
over at the last meeting, was rejected
last night.
The meeting adjourned to meet at
the call of the chairman.

the Democrats in order to gain con-

over the results, several prominent
leaders being of the opinion that a
recount would show a larger MAJOR

Despite reports to the contrary no
action had been taken up until noon
today by the county Democrats to
hold a recount in the assembly race
in which C. Raymond Lyons. Repub-
lican, defeated by thirty-one votes

The recount in this city will mean
that 5007 votes will have to be gone
over, together with those which were
rejected for various reasons. by
counting 500 votes day before q
Judge. a recount board would require
ten days to complete this count u
is estimated that such recount
would cost about $500 or possibly
$4,000 to conduct.
Instead of feeling opposed to a re-
count the city Republicans favor such
action-if the Democrats wish to go
TO that expense and trouble-they
feeling that the three votes majority
will be increased considerably.
The possibility of commission gov
ernment going into effect next year
is said to be causing considerable con-
sideration here as it Is claimed by
many politicians that the present al
dermen will have only a few months
to serve before the commission gov
ernment question goes before the vot-
ers of this city and the general
concensus of opinion seems to be that
those favoring the change will make
a strong fight for 1t here.

German Government Not Likely
to Surrender Danzig, Free City

PARIS, Nov. 6-The German gov
ernment, according to information re-
ceived from the semi official Deutsche
Algemine Zeitung, does not consider
itself bound to surrender its authority
over the territory Of the free CITY of
Danzig. until the United States shall
have ratified the treaty of peace.
The government in a communica-
ton to this effect addressed to the
Danzig municipality takes the stand
point that the treaty of peace pro-
Wdes for the surrender of the terri
tory of the future free city of Dan
zig to the principal allied and asso-
ciated powers.
Such transfers, it holds, becomes
operative when the general treaty
comes into effect when the exchange
of ratification between Grmany and
three of the principal allied and asso-
ciated powers, but only after the
United States, as we'll as the other
four prircinal powers have deposited
their ratification.

vets on the Crabbe bill, according to
Chef Statistician Johnson.
The same returns are said to lndl-

also that to repeal the state prohibi-
