not applaud, but there was not a
voice raised in protest at what was
said. The meeting was the regular
Sunday evening Socialist forum held In
the hall No. si5 Market street.
No police were yisibly present, and
no arrests were made, although the
speaker. whose name was referred to
as "Papkon," evidently suspected the

"Can you hold a street meeting in VIII
mlngion? Not on your life! Can you
distribute circulars? Not on your lie J

ACCUSED TO
NAME COUNSEL

WASHINGTON, April 2S Cunitoo
Press Former kaiser Wilhelm ana
his aaents must answer 10 the Miles
for every outrage and violation OF IN
tcrnational law, during the war " tns
peace conference adopts proposals
placed before II at Paris today.
The ex-kaiser would bo tried by an
international high court composed OF
i've Judges The United states, Great
Britain. France. Italy and Japan would
each select one Judge. Other persons
including Won Tirpitz, who was the
leader OF the submarine campaign, and
possibly uindcnburg and Ludcncorf
probably would be tried by military
courts.
Furthermore, all secrets Of the GER
man war Office must be barred TO per-
nit the Allies TO discover those re-
sponsible.
The proposals 10 try the German eN-
Kaiser have been pushed by the French
delegates throughout the conference In
face OF reported opposition from Japa-
nese delegates and apathy from others.
Provisions requiring fair trial,
however, may have been inserted to
overcome this opposition and 10 in
sure Justice. even If stern, 10 those
responsible for the war.
Germany would be required TO as
sist the Allies in running down the
guilty ones and this provision, II adopt
ed, will force the German peace dele
yates to admit the responsibility OF the
former regime for the war and would
put Germany on record for all time.
Not only perpetrators Of outrages, In
Belgium and France, but thousands OF
spies working IN all countries, includ-
ina the United States could he ap2re-
hended by revelations which Germany
would promise under the pending ar
ticles. The records Of the German Sc
cret service and her efficient espionage
service and scores OF spy plots In the
United States would be run down.
Especially significant Is Article III,
which provides military trial for those
guilty Of criminal acts against citi-
zens OF Allied countries. This provi-
sion would rope In the hundreds OF
military officials who took part in the
ruthless reign OF the sword in Bel
GUM There Is some doubt as TO how
far the provisions would extend. espe-
cially whether they provide punish
lment for every one violating not only
| the laws but the customs OF war.
Whether this would reach those re-
sponsible for Introduction Of deadly
gas In warfare, the submarine and
other inhuman methods Is not mada
clear However, all such persons
would be brought before military
courts and they could expect little
mercy through the rigid military code.

CHICAGO, July ga. r. Tearney,
President of the Western and Three
Leagues and chairman OF n committee
representing the National Association of
Minor Leagues, tonight charged the
National League with breaking faith
with the minors in regard to drawing
up a new agreement to take the place of
the so-called national agreement which
the minors abrogated.
John A. Heydler, president of the Ma
tional League. has advised Tearney that
the National League would not enter into
any formal agreement with the minors
unless the right OF the major leagues to
draft players from the minors was in
cluded SO "as to enable ball players to
advance in their profession. as provided
by the national agreement"
The minor leagues are demanding
that the majors buy promising players
outright instead of drafting them.
Tearncy said that Garry Hermann of
the National aseball Commission, rep
resenting the major leagues, made a
verbal agreement with the minor leagues
at the joint meeting in New York last
January, consented to the abrogation Of
the national agreement and the indie
pendent operation of the minors.
Tearney has sent the communication
from Heydler TO the presidents of ell
minor leagues for their consideration
