Players Jump the
 Leagues to Join
 Industrial Teams

Chicago, May 2l. Dcsertion of star baseball players from the ranks of organized baseball assumed q seri- ous aspect in the middle west today.
 President Tcarny of the Western and Three l leagues and Chairman of the committee representing the mi- no rleagucs of the country, issued q statement charging the corporations supporting the so-callcd industrial leagues with tampering with the play CTS under contract to organized bases ball, offering them fabulous salaries to dcecrt the clubs with which they had signed He indicaatcd that he would institute court proceedings to regain the services of players who jumped contracts with clubs in the western league.
 Club owners of the American as- sociation will meet in special session here today to decide upon the action to be taken against players who re- cently deserted clubs of that organi- ,2ation.

Oil is England's
 Greatest Problem

Manchester, Eng, May 21. The Manchester Guardian, in an editorial today says the question of oil tends to ovcrshadow almost all other inter national problems. "and this by vir- tue of thrce-fold occasion, namely, the Turkish treaty, the Mexican rev oluton and the discontents of Amer ica which were forcibly expressed yesterday"
 Referring to the American csti- mate that oil deposits may be ex- hausted in 20 years, the newspaper says:
 "Hence, of course, the constant pre- occupation of Washington and the great American oil corporations with the politics of Mexico"
 "It is q very serious commentary on the revolution of last week which, by displacing Carranza, was said to have removed the one great obstacle to peace between Mexico and the United States"

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

New Orleans, May 21. Very heavy selling, apparently reflecting the pes simistic feeling entertained toward all markets, was felt by cotton today and prices broke more than a hundred points on the more active months. Pressure was noticeable on the open ing and gradually increased until late in the day when carly short sellers went to taking profits and caused partial rccoveries from the lowest lev els. The close was at net losses Of G9 to so points.
 Better weather over the belt, pros poets that fairly good weather cond'- tions would continue another day or two. poor cables and reports of an other big break in the market for Egyptian cotton were additional ln- ccntivcs for selling. Traders, for the most part, ignored warnings from bul- fish traders that the market was fac ing a bullish condition crop.
 Private reports from Texas told of some improvement in the crop

SENSATIONAL. BREAK IN COTTON RESULT
 OF HEAVY SELLING

New York, May 21. There was a sensational break in the cotton market here today under d renewal of heavy general sellnig. The spectacular fca- tl1re was the closing weakness of May deliveries, trading in which ended at midday, which sold off from i2.0O 10 3S.SO in the last few minutes. This was regarded by local traders as the result of local technical conditions rather than a matter of broader sig nificance but the collapse of the May position had an unsettled effect on the later months. October closed at 31Ho steady at net decline Of 73 to "9 points.
 The market oncned barely steady at d decline on poor cables, continued good weather in the south and scat tered liquidation. There were rallies during the middle of the morning on trade buying and covering but the bulges met increased offerings and when May began to break the selling became more general. Very few buy inc appeared on scale down, while stop orders were uncovered with the weakness of the market tending to in crease nervousness over unsettled general trade conditions.

Public Arraigned
 as Guilty Party (
 in Industrial Rows

Washington, May 2t-Thc general public, this SO called innocent third party was arraigned as "thc onlyl wrong docr in industry" todav by Henry Sterling, chairman of the ex- cCutiVc committee of the American Federation of Labor appearing before senate sub. committee to oppose thet PoiudeNtcr anti-atrlkc bill for rail- roads.
 "The proposed Legislation was founded on the theory that the public mTst not be inconvenienced," he saiG.| "Djd it ever occur to you that the public does not give a d- for the man who works? The public is the one great sinner in the industrial fields, It is positively criminal in it's indifference Children might work themselves to death in the mills and the public would not care. The only party considered in the conflict is the so called innocent third party, while as soon as we who work take some action for our own welfare they only want to put us in iail.'
 Newspapers and legislators to some extent have protested about plumb CTS wages he continued, when there is one man in the United States who makes $i25,00 a day, why not attend to that? the railroads are eoneested today simply because switchmcn will not work for the money you pay. Give them enough and they'll go back"
 "Fhc strike," he said was "the only weapon workinPmen have, and if they thought this bill would pass, our A. O00 GOO people would come down here in such numbers the capital couldn't hold thcm,'

q don't think the motive was the stealing of money, if I remember rightly. l believe Tony took some pa pers--or tried to take them. They were private papers, valueless, except for sentimental reasons. Mir. Lloyd seemed awfully upset" Alice rose to her feet. Evidently my speculations had ceased to interest. her Her thoughts were all on her precious diamond bracelet, and the chances that it might once more come into her own tenacious hands.
 "Oh Helene, do get it back for mel" Her eyes-big, blue and appealing were fixed upor my face.
 "But how can I find Tony?" I pro- tested.
 Alice fumbled in her bag. "Look-here's his address-go to see him."
 I am not fond of these unpleasant jobs. Yet invariably they fall to me. "I'll see what I can do. Meantime, cheer up. And write long, newsy letter to your husband, Alice," patted her reassuringly on the shoulder "He lis worth a hundred of any of your other friends"
 So Alice made her exit, much to my relief.
 Mrs. St. Aubyns didn't as kthe req son for our interview She merely said, kuite gently and kindly Gal though I know she doesn't care for Alice):
 "I ought to have told you to ask your friend to stay for dinner, my dear. But she went off in such hurry that I hardly had a chance" i We dined that night in small sit ting room, opening off Jim's bedroom The motor drive had not tired hin, much, and he looked more like his old self than he had done for long time. Dear Jim.
 ' We were a cheerful trio. Always Jim's eyes looked at me, in wistful sort of way. There were love and longing in that look, and an eager question, too.
 A great hope came to me that Jim's memory would be restored. As Helene | Beauclare I wanted to be desired and

 Oh, how I wanted to tell Jim the truth-the whole truth!
 But was he strong enough to stand it yet?
 And-would his newly y-awakened love not die again?
 In the days that followed so full of contentment and peace-I am ashamed to say that l forgot Alice and her worries.
 My love-affair was expressing all my time. Lovers are selfish beings And I was no exception to the general rule.
 Yet Jim and 1 did not talk about our love. I'd queer instinct that the time was not yet ripe for open declaration, on my side. That Jim loved me, I already knew. He enjoyed having me read to him. He said the sound of my voice was the sweetest. But there! won't repeat all the folly and nonsense of lover!
 It made his head ache, to read, him self. So spent hours each day, going i through the latest books, in the low, well-mo odulated tones that my training on the stage has demanded of me.
 Every fine afternoon we had a motor-drive. Jim's mother nearly al ways came with us. We'd have tea in some adorable country inn, far from town. I can close my eyes now, and look back with glow of sheerest happiness, to those long motor-runs.
 The scent of lilacs brings back the memory more wildly. Oh, happy days! I And so the weeks went on, until one day the doctor annouWed Jim con- valescent The following afternoon his l mother, he and l went off to the spring time countryside, for the final l holiday which should completely re- store him to health and strength.

There was silence in the library after I had spoken. Alice's face was a study. Evidently this solution of the mystery had not hitherto occur. red to her.
 "You admit that you did go down to the library, after we all had gone to matter to the bottom, and now was a favorable time.
 Alice nodded dejectedly.
 "It-it wasn't because of any flirta tion, Helene" she maintained, Git was all through Tony insisting that he had some special things to say to me-and he couldn't get a decent opportunity when all the rest of you were round.''
 smiled crooked little smile again.
 "And you jeopardized your own good name for the sake of an idle chat with Tony, did you?"
 Alice looked ashamed of herself.
 "Yes, it was foolish of me, but he was so persistent. And l was worried to death over my card losses-"
 "And so you crept down to meet Tony, and have chat with him "
 She nodded.
 "And then you dropped your scarf ?''
 q suppose l did"
 "And you never once suspected Tony of breaking into MT Lloyd's safe?"
 Alice shook her head.
 "Well, you're goose," l remarked frankly. "But as nothing was stolen at that time, we needn't rake up the wretched affair. l suppose you didn't know that MT. Lloyd's safe had agair been tempered with ?"
 ooh Helene-how?"
 "He told me so himself," I said "and, what's more, he assured me that he'd seen the form of Tony disappear ing through the open window of the library"
 Alice gave small, affected scream Then she produced her pocket-hand kerchief, and began dabbing her eyes again.
 CT was so fond of Tony," sht sniffed. "It's awful to believe those things about him!" @
 knitted my brows. What was i MT. Travis Lloyd had said?
