While the first game was semblancei

on Sunday was just the opposite and

An adverse decision in the seventh

Ulm.
Have Good Team.
The New Richland nine is composed
of fast players and have won all but a
few of the games played this season.
There lineup in the game with New
.Ulm was somewhat strengthened and
as the team appeared in the field it
was certain that good game was in
sight. The visitors started the scoring
in the second inning when Mock, their
second man up in this frame, hit the
ball for a double. He was followed by
Kaisershot, who put the ball in deep
center for three base hit and score
when Guentner threw wild to third.
New Ulm tied the score in their half
of the fourth, when Becker and Stone
king singled and were aided by boot
by Williams, the visiting short.
In the seventh frame a triple by
Tyrnquist, followed by single by
Mock brought in the winning run.
New Ulm tried hard to tie the score in
their half and would have succeeded
but for the adverse decision by umpire
harrington. Bum, the first man ul
il this inning singled. Standard hit
to center field, getting two bases on the
hit. Born hit a Lacquer over second
which was taken in by the second
baseman. Bum attempted to score
on the catch but was called out by
harrington. CA picture taken by JACK

However, these two teams will meet

Economist Tells U. S. Board
That Rail Mismanagement
Is Crux of Trouble.

CHICAGO. March 29.-Inefficiency
of railroad management rather than
the national agreements fixing wages
and working conditions of employees
is responsible for the financial plight
OF the railroads, w. Jett Lauck, con.
sulting economist OF the railroad

statement to the United States Rail.

began the presentation of labor ex-
hibits before the board.
BACKS NATIONAL WAGE SCALE.
The root of the railroad diff.
Guilty." Lauck declared. "is NOT in
national agreements but In the IN
adequacies OF management. Conserva-
lively stated. IL railroad management
was characterized by reasonble eff.
cheney and had availble for it's use
a proper amount of credit or capital
labor costs would have shown a radi-
cal decline under national agreements
and savings in operating expenses OF
at least $1.o0o,oo0,0o annually would
be made"
Lauck outlined six points which he
declared upheld the soundness Of the
policies represented by the national
agreements.
First, he declared, the policy of es-
tablishing national agreements or
uniform rates of pay and working
conditions is in conformity with Gus
tom and precedent in the transpor-
tation industry and in accordance
with best public policy.
Second, Lauck asserted, collective
bargaining on a national scale and
national agreements as to working
conditions and relations have been
found to be the best means of sta
billing conditions in other basic in
dustries of the country.
CITES BRITISH SUCCESS.
In Great Britain, Lauck's third
point declared, these facts have be-
come so clearly recognized that ma
tional agreements are encouraged by
both employers and employees and an
effort Is being made to make them
compulsory in all industries.
When the Railroad Administration
entered into the national agreements,
Lauck asserted as his fourth conten-
tion, II merely recognized tendency
which had reached complete develop
ment during the war, and which was
sanctioned by enlightened opinion
both within and without the trans
portation industry.
Fifth. Lauck pointed out repre-
sentatives of the railroads have prac-
tically given their sanction to ma
tional rates OF pay and working con-
ditions of engine and train crews.
Railroads, Lauck charged in his
sixth contention, are consciously
and deliberately taking advantage
of temporary industrial depression
to destroy human standards sane
toned by thought and practices OF
the leading Industrial nations of the
" orld."

JAPAN TO KEEP
HOLD ON YAP
Claims Award Legitimate, As
serts Baron Megata, Here on
His Way Home.
BY HARRY L. ROGERS,

Copyright. 1891. by. International News
Service.D
The question of the status Of the
Island of Yap is most delicate. but
there is every reason to believe
diplomacy will find a satisfactory
solution Of the problem, according
to Baron Megata. member of the
japanese house of lords and Japan
ese delegate to the League Of Ma
tions, who is passing through Wash
ington on his way back to Japan
from the recent meeting of the
League at Geneva
VISITS SECRETARY WEEKS.
The baron. who as a young man at
tended a seminary at West Newton.
Mass, stopped off here to pay a friend
ly visit to Secretary Of War Weeks.
He will leave today for San Francisco.
where he will remain for a few days
before sailing for Tokyo.
Being technically still on a mission
which includes the question OF man
dates over the islands of the Pacific.
the baron declined to enter into a de-
though he expressed the belief that
the controversy over the disposition of
the former German cables would be
cleared up satisfactorily in the COM
munications conference now in ses-
sion here.
Japan's position with regard to zap,
he intimated, Is that the island was
awarded to her under Agreements ap-
proved by powers which presumably
had authority to make such awards
and until that decision Is changed
japan cannot do otherwise than claim
tho territory awarded her.
GOING TO PACIFIC COAST.
II am somewhat out of touch with
the situation in California" said
Bavon Megata, "and ] wish to spend
a few days on the coast in order To
get first hand information of condi-
tfons there"
While the baron does not attempt
to deny that many serious matters
remain to be adjusated between
Japan and the United States, he is
convinced there is no question SO
serious as to menace the good re-
lations of the two countries. He be-
lieves the two nations are well on
the way toward a satisfactory settle
ment Of both the immigration ques-
tion and the question of land tenure.
Baron Megata said he understood
the negotiations thus far have been
entirely satisfactory 70 the Tokyo
government.
1T is perfectly natural" he said.
that Japanese who have lived in
California for a long time, and by
their industry and intelligence, cul-
tiyated and improved the land. should
feel some concern at suggestions
that they are to be deprived perma-
nently OF the privileges they have
enjoyed. / am sure. however, that
the Japanese both here and in Japan
are viewing the situation calmly and
will cheerfully abide by any de-
cision which the two nations may
reach"
The baron personally believes in
disarmament, but he Is inclined to
be skeptical OF suggestions that uni
yersal abolition Of armaments is a
possibility of tho Immediate future.

NEW YORK. March 29.-Rene Wv
iani. former French premier. arrived
here yesterday on La Lorraine.
Though 1t has been generally un-
derstood he was coming here to try to
persuade the Harding Administration
not to make separate peace with Ger
many and to induce the United States
to take a more active interest In
European affairs. M. Viviani merely
said he was here to pay his respects
to the new President.
SHOWERS HIGH PRAISE.
when he arrived yesterday at the
Battery on a special coast guard cut
ter he boarded at Quarantine, he said
II came to the United States to pay
lie the respects of the government
and the entire nation of France.

before having saluted the Chief of
the State.
I'm saluting the first and eminent
citizen Of the American democracy
salute also the great and noble people
to whom France keeps her tender af-
fection and her eternal gratitude"
Although he did not confirm the
rumored object of his visit, which in
cludes an effort to get the United
States into the League of Nations,
with the elimination of Article X, IL
necessary, 1t was said his visit Is
more than a mere formality.
France Is not bankrupt. The
French are not beggars. The French
people will pay every dollar they owe
to the United States or to any other
creditor"

night following a conference at the

The statement was authorized after
DR.. Knecht had put the query to M.

WAIT AND SEE," IS
!. 0NDEBTPLAN

LONDON, March 29.-The British
government has adopted a wait and
see" policy upon the question of the
United States war debt, and will not
make any immediate move either to-
ward it's cancellation or its payment.
II was learned from official sources
today.
The decision of the Government not
to send Lord Chalmers, the Treasury
Departments financial expert, to
Washington at this time presumably
means the abandonment Of various
suggestions for the underwriting or
cancellation Of the great sums owed
to the United States.
Among the roposals which were
presented, and which have evidently
been dropped was one involving Ger

6DEAD, MANY HURT
IN NMYSTERY BLAST

CHICAGO, March 29.-Six bodies
terribly mangled, have been recover
ed and many injured persons are be-
ing treated following a terrific blast
of unknown origin which wrecked a
four-story paper warehouse on the
near southwest side shortly before IL
a. m. today.
Fire followed the explosion and
firemen and police are n work
searching the smoking ruins for pos
sible additional victims of the ex-
plosion.
At 1880 a. m, Coroner Peter M.
Hoffman issued a statement IN which
he said the death toll would prob.
ably reach ten and the injured list
about sixty. This estimate was
based on a partial. unofficial check
of those working in the place and
those known to have been In the
vicinity at the time.
A special detail is investigating the
report that a leaky gas main was re-
sponslble for the explosion. A
woman in the vicinity told the police
she had telephoned ire gas company
previous to the blast to complain OF
q smell OF gass in the neighborhood.
Windows within a radius of many
blocks were shattered by the terrific
conclusion and men and women en-
ployes rushed from nearby stores and
houses in panic.
Ident ificstion OF the bodies taken
from the debris has been impossible
because of their mutiliated condition.
The body of a small girl. about three
years old. was the last body taken
from the ruins. about 11:45 Q. m.
The other dead were unidentified
men, two with their heads blown on
and the others badly mangied.
