SPORTING
NEW BASEBALL
PACT IS SIGNED
Judge Lands Made Supreme Dictator
With Power to Run Things as
He Wishes.

sCHICAGO. Jan. 13-Organized base
ball Yesterday. swept the last veStige of
isagrpenaent from its ranks in a series of
conferences which brought signed peace
agreements not only between the major
and minor leagues, but between individual
club owners who have vigorously opposed
each other in affairs of administration and
policy.
The two major leagues signed the new
national agreement making Judge kene-
saw VI. Lands baseball commissioners,
with supreme powers, and the minor
leagues also signed an agreement with
Judge Lands as their ruler, but 1t d fered
in one empowering word from that signed
by the majors.
This difference. it developed was due to
a misunderstanding at the joint meeting of
the drafting committees when the agree
ment was drawn up. and it was an
naunced that the minors later would sign
an agreement identical with the one APP
proved by the major organization.
Besides signing the national agreement,
the individual major league club owners
affixed their signatures to contract in
" hich they agreed not to Criticise publicly
each other or talk about one another. and
to accept any decision made by Judge Ian
lis. regardless of their personal opinion
of it.
Included in the signatorieS to this
agreement We're Pres. Il. Il. Johnson of
the American League and two of the three
clubowncrs who have fought his admins
tratiou. Charles \. Comiskey Of Chicago
and Jacob RUPERT Of New York.
Harry Frazee of Boston, the third
cIubowner who opposed Johnson in recent
American League disagreements. an
nounccd that he would sign the contract
lie was not present when it was drawn
up.
The signing of the new National agree
meut brought Il sharp. statement from
Judge Lands concerning the powers he
must have and led to erroneous reports
that he had issued an ultimatum giving
the ciubownerS II minutes in which to
make changes he demanded.
The judge did not set a time limit, but
did tell the club owners that his powers
must be supreme.

Did Not Refuse Power.
There is no foundation for the state
ment that the Topeka Packing company
was refused power. This company made
application for power by phone on the 10th
OF this month. The application was passed
and approved, as all applications are, and
the Topeka Packing company was notified
today that they could have service when
ever they were ready for it, The applica-
ton was only for forty to fifty horsepower
and an addition such as this would not be
noticeable at the plant.
Within the past two months an engine
failure at the city's Adams street plant
occurred which put the entire plant out of
commission, as they have only one engine
there. We have an emergency connection
with the city's lines and our plant took
over the entire city load that night. This
load is equivalent to about $50 horsepower,
and all the notice that was required TO
handle il was enough time to have sufff-
cient boilers under steam to carry it.
With one exception the Topeka Edison
company has takSV on every customer that
may be mentioned the following:
city pumping station, Harrison street.
Topeka Pure Milk company, 50 horse
power additional.
Farmers Creamery, 70 horsepower, addi-
ziegler Creamery, 10 horsepower. addi-
tiOnal
Kaw Paving company, 10 horsepower,
dpuitIoAdl' anu large NUMBER OF other
smaller concerns.
The one exception was a small industry
located so far away from the power lines
that 1t was impractical to attempt to ex-
tend to it.
There is nothing whatever in the sugges--
ton that the Edison company take over
the old city lighting plant on Adams street.
the capacity Of this plant is only $50 kiIo-
watts and II additional capacity was re-

TO CHANGE MAINS
Ordinance Would Permit Gas
Lines Under Parkings.
Action Taken at Regular Meet
ing of Commission.

An ordinance was presented for
first reading at the regular meeting of
the city commission this morning by
w S. Hancock, commissioner of
streets and public works, which would
empower the Continental Oil & Gas
company to lay gas mains in the
parkings instead of in the streets.
The ordinance was altered. at the
instance of Wilbur A. Stanfield. city
water and light commissioner, to re-
quire the gas company to lay its mains
only under the parkings on the east
and south side of streets, and to give
all water mains at least twelve inches
clearance. Stanfield explained to the
commission that it is the practice OF
the water department to lay its MAIN
under the north and west parkings,
and that the laying of gas mains I'M
DIR the same parkings and too close
to the water mains would cause trou-
BILE to both parties in making repairs
and openin~ new leads.
During the past two years, the wa
ter department had not laid a single
new main under paved streets or al
leys. We have always stuck to the
