President-Elect
 Lands Prize Fish
 But Line Breaks
Republican A. p. Leased WIreI

POINT ISABEL, Tex, Nov. g. President-elect Harding went tarpon fishing today and although his prize catch got away after 45-minute tus- sle, he liked the sport so well that he stayed out from morning until night fall.
 It was the breaking of a troll line tangled in the wreckage of an old wharf that lost him his fight with the biggest fish he ever had hooked. a tar pon, described by his friends as meas uring more than six feet. The presi- dent-elect's boat had pulled in close to shore and the sea giant was showing signs of giving up when the line caught fast and snapped in two. He had several other bites, but came home empty handed, favored on the first day day of his vacation by clear. hot weather.
 Mir Harding set forth on the expe- dition shortly after 6 o'clock this morning. At the Point Isabel life sav- ing station, three miles out, he trans ferred from his motor launch to skiff and went to work. The fight with the tarpon took place soon afterward and when 1t was over he decided to make day of it and sent the launch back to port to bring out his luncheon Previously the president-elect had planned to play a game of golf during the afternoon at the Brownsville country club.
 Mir. Harding's companions on the fishing trip today were F. E. Scobey and R. B. Creager. his hosts here, and Senators Hale of Maine and Elkins oi West Virginia. Harry M. Daugherty close personal adviser of the presi- dent-elect, also joined the party during the afternoon.

Baseball War
 Threatens Leagues

Continued from page D should not show any partiality to either side in the major league dispute.
 The American league does not come here with the thought of asking you to carry any of. our burdens, President Johnson said. "It must be clear to you that you should pursue a central course showing no favor or partiality to either side.
 Johnson's Statement
 There is a question as to whether there will be any serious difficulty to adjust, but believe my position should be made clear. think you should have equal representation on the national board and that you should have equal power with the American and National leagues We can offer you no more at this time. have been authorized by our board of directors to request you to appoint a committee of three to meet committee of the same number from the national and American leagues to reorganize the game and all the differ ences should be swept aside in view of the serious condition that confronts baeeball.
 Tt is my thought that baseball should remain in the hands of men who have given their lives to it's de- velopment.
 You are the men who should cleanse the game. You are better qualified to do the work than any one outside the baseball. I have been cau- toned not to talk too much, but want to say that I do not approve of the Lasker plan devised by one who has not shed his swaddling clothes in base ball. How can such an individual d. rect the affairs of the game or its reformation?'
 It was the first time in the history of baseball that President Johnson has appeared before a minor league con- vention.
 Political Shakeup Fails
 The political shakeup in the Nationa Association of Minor leagues failed tC materialize today when the league presidents re- elected John F. Farrell O. Auburn, N. r., secretary and treasurer for a period of 10 years.
 M. H. Sexton of Rock Island, Ills. was reelected president but reserved his decision until tomorrow. The minol leaguers plan to place the president or a salary of S5000 annually, and hay' that official take more active inter est in the management of the minors affairs. Heretofore Mir. Sexton served l without compensation and devoted onl, a. little time to league affairs.
 Mir. Sexson was a candidate to- sue tceed Secretary Farrell but his support CTS failed to muster enough votes.
 John H. Martin of Memphis, Tenn president of the Southern association was elected vice-president.
 Preliminary to the election. the pres idents discussed the advisability of re | Questing state legislatures to pass strict law providing for prison sen tences for persons convicted of bribini a baseball player to throw games The proposal was referred to a com mittee on resolutions.

GEORGE HOPEFUL WORLD WILL END RAG|NG HATREDS
IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased WIreJ

"
 LONDON, Nov. 9.-Premier Lloyd George in his address at the lord mayors banquet at the Guild hall to- night discussed briefly and pointedly various problems with which the gov ernment is dealing. He plunged imme- diately Into foreign affairs and ap- pealed for patience and faith in the world settlement, declaring that the highest wisdom demanded that preju dices and dislikes be kept we'll under control If Europe is to be saved from becoming welter of raging hatreds.
 He said he was pleased with the proposal of Germany for the hquida- ton of her obligations. Coincidentally the chancellor of the exchequer. Austin Chamberlain, announced in the house of commons that Germany had placed a large amount of bonds in the hands of the separations commission.
 The premier spoke optimistically of Ireland. intimating that the situation there was well in hand.
 Referring to questions between Ger many and the allies, MT. Lloyd George said that he real test of German sin cerfty was disarmament and, he added, tho report have to give on that sub ject is very satisfactory.
 '-rhe German army is rapidly being reduced to 100000. There are still too man rifles at large in Germany, but they are a greater menace to Ger many's internal peace than to Ger many's neighbors."
 Another important point, the pre- mier said. was separations. Germany Is prepared to submit certain proposals for the liquidation of her obligations, he continued, "and personally l am pleased with them. They will be con- sidered at the conference and 1t is satisfactory to note that Germany realizes her first duty is to repair tfn devastation the German armies have wrought.
 T wish I could speak as hopefully of tho Russian problem, where we have to do with men professing the ridicu- lous. crazy creed of bolshevism, who unfortunately fall to realize how tm- portant 1t is they should respect their obligations"
 He referred briefly to the industrial situation and the recent coal strike, expressing the belief that there Is bet ter temper now all around.
 Speaking of the Irish situation. the premier said:
 Unless am mistaken. by the steps we have taken, we have murder by the throat DO not pay too much attention to detailed accounts of disturbances and what they call the horrors of the reprisals given out by partisans who slur over the horrors of murder. There win be no real peace, no conciliation, whilst this murder conspiracy is scat tered.
 we are getting the right sort of men and are dispersing the terrorists The government will seek further powers. if necessary. to deal with the situation. If 1t is war. as the terror ists say, then they cannot complain If the government employs some of the ,t,1ez of war against them"
