points explicitly accepted by all the powers as the basis of peace read Open covenants of peace, openly arr rived at, after which there shall be no private international under standings of any kind. but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view" Before negotiations even began. the conference backed water The President of the United States-he said 1t himself-had never intended open negotiations. but only open debates upon all decisions ar rived at before the latter became final There was no question of full publicity of the negotiations, The first care of the conference in or ganzing it's relations with the press was to strike an even balance be- tween the need for silence and the need for news.
 Supported Press Club
 At once--as early as January 12- NJ Clemenceau, who had supported the creation of the Press club of the Champs Elysees to facilitate the work of the newspaper men. took his stand
 There is a general expectation and wish by the public that all the sub
 
 lished. We have the greatest inter- est in showing the public the results of our works"
 Right then. and before agreement had even been reached on an official text. the difficulties began which for six months grew and multiplied as one incident followed another. The conference was held in Paris. If it had not been. the French government would have been accused of not prop erly defending our. rights. Because 1t was held In Pariss the position of France was singularly delicate. distinguished member of the allied press said to me one day;
 We. are your guests Whenever the press is not satisfied 1t will put the blame on you"
 This was true of the press. It was also true of all the men who were making the peace. They felt that the hospitality extended to them by France entitled them to special at tention. A hundred times prior to the signature of peace from the greatest to the least. they showed this spirit. The censorship made things worse. NJ. Clemenceau on as- suming office in November. 1917, had said: No censorship of articles; they nay attack me as much as they like right of which full advantage was taken. but suppression of news dan gerous to the interior and exterior security of France" Our allies never understood this distinction. Need I add that, if they were usually in- different to false news, items against which we could take action. they were unduly sensitive to criticism and malicious attacks against which we were powerless.
 On January 15 the first friction arises. Lloyd George complains of ir situations published in certain French newspapers. President Will son goes even further. and although representing a country in which cen sorship had been abolished immedi- ately following the armistice, asks that the French censorship should be exercised not only over the French newspapers. but also over dispatches sent to foreign papers. NJ. Clemenceau opposes friendly re-

Arthur Chapman, Tn Leslie 5.
 Baseball playing rules differed greatly prior to 1s45. The games that had left their impress on the elemental game of baseball were handball barnball, one old cat, two old cat, three old cat four old cat, townbaIl, and round ball or the New England game. Townbali was played with from 10 to 20 on side. The in- fluence of handball was shown in the fact that when the first rules of baseball were adopted by the Knick- erbocker Baseball team in 1S45. and played up to the first convention of ball players. game consisted of 21 counts or aces.
 The desire for some form of out door sport seemed to follow the na- tion's drift toward manufacturing. As cities were built up. something was demanded which would afford both exercise and relaxation to the thou sands In those new centers of Amer

Mrs. Mollie Golden of oil Southern

downtown office building, but that the
latter after short try reported he was
not making money and wanted to OBJ
tain a loan. Golden. however, declined
to lend hin, any money.
Matters were brought to a head yes
terday, according to Golden. when the
man returned and attacked him, draw

In the struggle Mrs. Golden at this
juncture screamed and pointed the toy
pistol. which induced the man to flee.
A police search is on for him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE charge
that "the dye monopoly headed by the
Chemical Foundation Company" has
sought 10 influence three members OF
President Harding's Cabinet in an ef-
fort to perpetuate It's present exclusive
power in this country" is made by Rep
resentative Frear (Wis). Republican, In
a letter TO Chairman Penrose OF the
Senate committee considering the tariff
bill.
The communication was MADE pubic
to-day by Mr.. F'rear with the announce
ment that copies had been sent TO the
President and ITO others who would
seem to speak with authority on mat
ters'' contained In 1t.
The Wisconsin member who led the
successful fight In the House against the
dye embargo in the Fordney bill. re-
ferred specifically to the letters writ
fen To Senator Penrose by Secretaries
Weeks and Denby, who urged continu-
ance of the embargo SO that the coun-

IN the event OF war Mr.. Frear also de-
clared that Attorney-General Daugherty
had failed to acknowledge or act upon
his letter of July IS asking that iegai
proceedings be instituted to set asiae

"No invisible government" said MT
Frear, has ever shown more prazen
effrontery than this dye monopoly. we

petuate their present exclusive power

gests that this Government depended
upon or received aid from any dye es-
Establishments in the country during the
recent war, and the argument that we
should preserve this half billion dollar
domestic dye monopoly with its excessive
prices and enormous power because OF
approaching war and through need ci
private protection, is both preposterous
and ridiculous.
Secretaries Weeks and Denby are
reported by the press to have written
your committee simultaneously that the
dye embargo should be continued for
that reason. If so. they certainly had
little information on which to base such
statements and caution Is thrown to the
winds when dye interests bring these

WILL AMERICANIZE
GOVERNMENT SHIPS
Continued from First Page.

hands of foreigners and American ship
ping men are confident that by doing
so the board will be adding materially
to the business OF American ships.
To Anticipate COMPLAINTS.
In some instances it Is likely that
complaints will be received from Ameri-
can operating companies over the de-
mand that certain officers In foreign
ports be replaced by Americans, but
there seems to be a disposition at the
Shipping Board to anticipate these COM
plants and to be ready to insist upon
the desired changes.
Opposition Is also anticipated from
the International Seamen's Union to the
complete Americanization of the ships,
crews. AS its name suggests. this
organization is international In charac-
ter and officials of the board who have
been looking into 1t maintain that not
more than so per cent. of its member
ship Is American. For some time the
International Seamen's Union has held
up the system, of manning ships from
it's own lists. Under this system a ship
captain when he wants a man calls on
the local union of the port he happens
to be in. He gets the first man on the
union list If the name that has been
longest on the registry of the union is
a foreigner the ship master has to take
him. He is not privileged to demand
an American.
This system probably win be fought
by the board, which will take the
ground that at all times and under all
conditions an American seaman Is en-
titled to take precedence over a for
eigner when it comes to getting berth
on an American ship.
Furthermore the present board Is
eager to draw young men to the Ameri-
can merchant marine. Those connected
with the board who are familiar with
practical shipping and labor conditions
are firm in their opinion that there arc
plenty Of young men ready and willing
to go to sea under proper conditions.
While the pay accorded seamen on
American ships is higher than that
given seamen under other flags, the
policy OF the new board will be based
on the idea that IL well trained Ameri-
can coptains are put In charge of our
merchant ships. with all the under off,
GERS and all the crew composed of
Americans, in few years the American
merchant marine will be manned by a
force that will be so efficient that the
higher wages paid the men win be off,
set by their general superiority.

but. so far as the Mines Department is
aware. has never yet produced gold.
although immense sums have been spent.
Two pumps have been Installed In the
attempt To drain the channel TO allow
mining, but so far the water difficulties
have not been overcome. In British
Columbia official report issued last year
the statement Is made that during the
preceding winter the company en-
deavored 10 sink a shaft to install a third
pump. but owing to the great pressure
of underground water the well was
abandoned. The company also attempted
to drain the river bed by a tunnel three
miles In length running up from a
lower level, but the cost was found to
be prohibitive. and this proposition was
also abandoned.
Unofficial Opinion.
Members of the Mines Department
unoficially admit the possibility of rich
deposits in the Lightning Creek areas.
but think the gold can never be mined
profitably. They scout the possibility
OF selling gold at $3.50 an ounce when
the market price ranges from S15 to $40
an ounce for unrefined gold. With pres
ent exchange rates. this would be SIS
to s24. Mr. McLeish. Acting Director of
Mines, mentioned a similar attempt TO
secure the gold deposits lying along the
bed of Lightning Creek made by the
Guggenheim brothers some years ago.
Although gold to the value of between
S3.000.000 and $5.000.000 was actually
mined, the cost of development was so
great that the result was an immense
loss to the promoters"
The company also sends out sheet

sagt and the value of the Lighting
Creek property.
Charles II. Unversagt is veteran of
the promotion business. He has engi-
neered long line of bond or stock sell
ing (most of them bond) companies.
some of which are still in exist
ence. Away back in 1884 he was con-
victed in Maryland OF using the mails
for fraudulent purposes in con-
nection with his interest in the
Great Eastern Mutual Life In
surance Company. He was fined $500
and sentenced to serve twelve months
in the Baltimore City Jail The term
of the state OF his health. Evidently he
has changed the character of his busi-
ness, for his circulars go freely through
the mails now.
In 1891 he was treasurer of the Sc
curity Mutual Bank at Union Square.
He was indicted on the charge of i'm
properly advertising the institution as
bank. but after he changed the name
10 the Security Building Loan Mortgage
Company the indictment was dismissed.
In 1901 his pet project was the Atlantic
and Pacific Oil Company, which sold
stock on the strength of a "gusher" near
Barboursville, Ky. When the gusher
ceased gushing Mr.. Unversagt said that
he and his friends had invested heavily
and were the heaviest losers.
In 1912 he was taken into custody in
London on a charge of having mailed a
libellous post card to his former stenog-
rapher, Miss Alice Smith. He was pres
ident OF the Standard Finance Company
and was spoken of in England as "a.
wealthy mine owner" He gave ball
for appearance in court, but returned to
America. A warrant was issued for his
arrest, but so far as known he did not
