quiry or investigation. gave a hit to
Ty -Cobb when the play officially had

New York Club, and
Whereas, this overruling of the

That action OF the president of the
American League in arbitrarily
changing the score is strongly con-
demned In that the usefulness of
baseball ,rscords is thereby serious
y impaired.
That the members of the New

RATE CUT FOR FARM
PRODUCTS ADVISED

Washington, D. C.-Transportation
rates on products Of agriculture, as
ON many other commodities, now "bear
disproportionate relation to the
price Of such commodities" and
should be Immediately reduced, &C.
cording to findings Of the joint con-
gressional committee of agricultural
inquiry, announced by Chairman An
derson.
Not only should these freight
charges come down, the. report de-
clared, but in the future rate making
bodies and railroad traffic officers
should give greater consideration to
the relative value of commodities in
the making Of rates." and let existing
charges on high priced finished prod
ucts stand, IL necessary, to remove
cost burdens from basic materials.
Exhaustive review Of the transpor-
tation situation has convinced the
committee, Chairman Anderson said,
that 'pyramided per cent advances"
of freight rates during the war and
following years, caused dislocation of
long-standing relationships between
rates on agricultural and industrial
products and between competitive
enterprises and competitive terri
tories,' which dislocations should now
be removed.
Outside Of its general conclusions
the commission advanced three spe'
cific proposals to better transportation
service for farmers, the first being
the enlargement of Competition ave
nues of distribution through which the
largest number of consumers can rea
sonably be reached; the second was
the extension of through rates on
grain ITO points of consumption
through two or more competitive pri
mary markets. and the third the ex
tension of the principle that coarse
grains, such as corn, should take lower
charges than breadstuffs. Adequate
car equipment should also be main

GENOA CONFERENCE
DRIFTING ON ROCKS

Genoa. - The Genoa conference Ia
drifting toward the rocks again.
Whether 1t can be kept from wreck
age depends on the possibility Of ad-
justing the new demands Of the Rus
sian soviet delegates with the position
of the allied governments, who declare
they will stand steadfastly by the reso-
lutions adopted at Cannes, on which
the conference is founded.
The situation is made more critical
by the French premier's frank warn
ing in his address at Barbecue that
France will withdraw from the con-
ference il she is unable to see that
the ideas expressed by the French
cabinet before parliament can triumph.
These French practical demands In.
clude maintenance of the war repara-
tions figures, disbarment of all dis
armament discussions and no chang
ing Of the existing treaties at Genoa.
In addition, France insists on rigid
adherence to the Cannes resolutions
which call for the payment of Russia's
pre-war debts and the restitution by
the soviet Of foreigners property In
Russia.
The conference Of experts on the
Russian question broke up and adj
journed sine die because the experts
representing the powers found the
Russians new set of proposals abso-
lutely in contradiction to the soviet
note accepting the allies terms as a
basis for future deliberations.
Despite the serious outlook, the
heads of the various delegations have
not abandoned all hope.
