BASEBALL MAGNATES
 FORMULATE PLAN TO
 REORGANIZE LEAGUE
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

CHICAGO, Oct. S.-Representatives of every National league baseball club and three American league clubs to- night went on record as fayOring ab- rogation of the national agreement be- tween professional leagues. Resolu- tions adopted proposed a complete re- organization of baseball with the na- tional commission abolished and a ci- william tribunal of three men not finan- cially interested in the game in com plete control
 The action came after a conference lasting more than nine hours. The resolutions will be considered at an other meeting Nov. 8 and presented to the meeting of minor league officials at Kansas City Nov 9 for their ap- proval. All professional leagues will be invited to join with the eleven clubs acting today in the proposed reor- ganization.
 A statement issued after the meet ing notified the clubs not represented that they have until Nov. 1 to signify their willingness to join in the reor- ganization. If they have not come in by that time. the statement says, a twelve-club league will be formed without them. The eleven clubs rep resented would be included in the league and a twelfth member would be chosen from some other city.
 President Johnson was not in the city tonight. but was expected back tomorrow or next day.
 The three American league clubs which joined in the reorganization pro- posal are Chicago. New York and Bos- ton. They are the same clubs which | lined up against Johnson last winter in the baseball fight.
 The proposed plan of reorganization | follows the outline made by A. D. Las ker, stockholder- of the Chicago Ma tional league club. The chairman oi the proposed tribunal would receive 2 salary of S25,0O0 a year and the othel members would receive $10,000 a year The tribunal would be supreme anC there would be no appeal from it's de cisions. The agreement would be iT force for 25 years.
 Club owners at the meeting said that | if President Johnson of the American | league and the five club owners whC have always sided with him in baseball | discussions did not care to join witl | the other club owners in the proposed ] reorganization they probably would "gC ahead without AIr.

CHICAGO, Oct 1S.-The federal rail- way wage board today began it's hear ings in the wage disputes of more than 200 short line and interurban roads outside the scope of the recent wage award of the board.
 Testimony was upon authority of the board to fix wages on electric inter- urbans, electric lines not operating as a part of a steam transportation sys- tenn, leaving argument concerning the merits of specific demands for later consideration.
 Contentious that the government body had not power 10 pass upon labor questions touching electric road wages was based upon section 300 of the Esch- Cummins bill creating the board This section, it was argued. especially exempted all electric railways no; operating as a part of ageneral trans portation line.

TRepubIlcan A. ?. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON. Oct.

 'I need not point out to you" the president wrote, "the grave and chaotic inferences to be drawn from such a statement. namely, that the govern ment of France which is a member ot the league O. nations, approached a privte ccitizen of nation which is not a member of the league with a request that the United States lead the world fraternity"
 It was learned the note was trans mitted by the state department to the French government through Ambassa- dor Wallace in Paris. At the French embassy 1t was said that such a com munication had been received for transmission.

HARDING REPLIES TO WILSON

MARION, Ohio. Oct. 1s.-Replying to an inquiry from President Wilson. Senator Harding wrote the white house tonight that although France had sent her spokesman" Co him informally asking to lead the way for an Asso- citation of Nations. the incident had not involved the French government in any vein of intelligent proprieties. The senator declared that in his reference to the subject fin a speech at Green castle, Ind. recently he had sought to convey the thought that there had come to him those who spoke a sem timentai way which was reported 10 be very manifest among the French people" He added that his words "could not be construed to say that the French has sent anybody to me-"
 Referring to Mir. Wilson's suggestion of impropriety fin a foreign nation ap- preaching "a private citizen" on such a subject. Senator Harding pointed out that he Is a member of the foreign re- iations committee. as well as a nominee and suggested that an informal sug- eestion to him is more than that to a private citizen.
 The text of Senator Harding's letter sent in reply to one from the president asking whether the senator had beer correctly quoted in his Greencastls speech Id ms follows:
 Dear hr. President: I have before me a press copy of your letter to me o this date. though I am not fin receip of the original copy. l am glad t' make a prompt reply.
