comprised the battle for the title.
The best the Yankees could do was
to tie the second game Of the series.
The Giants won the other four.
For a time, yesterday, 1t seemed
the Yankees had awakened from the
spell Of dumbness in which they
tossed away every opportunity to win
that came to them Saturday. They

did the bright and snappy Giants
who, like the addicts Of auto sugges-

way to grow better and better. But,
with Bush pitching as well as he did
for wo-thirds Of the distance to the
end, a little slowness now and then
did not matter much at the time.

MAJORITY PLANS
TO SEEK CLOTURE
FIGHT MAY GROW MORE
INTERESTING. UNDERWOOD
SERVES NOTICE FROM MINOR
ITY SIDE THAT SPIRITED CON.
TEST WILL DEVELOP.

Washington, May 25.-Cloture as
a means of cutting down debate on
the tariff was proposed today at a
conference of Republican senator's
and was discussed later in the senate
Opposition to the suggestion develop
ed on both sides of the chamber,
Democrats giving formal warning
that any effort by the majority to
put over "gag" rule would be re-
sisted to the utmost.
The proposal will be discussed fur
ther at a second majority conference
Saturday.
AS drafted the rule would apply
not alone to the pending tariff bill,
but to all revenue and appropria-
tions measures. 1t will not apply to
any other legislation and would leave
senators free to discuss any other
general legislation.
Under the rule after revenue ap-
preparation bill has been before the
senate five days, 16 senators could
present a motion for cloture and, if
sustained by a majority, vote the
time of each senator desiring to speak
would be limited to one hour on the
bill and two minutes on any amend
ment, with the requirement that the
debate be confined to the subject
matters before the senate.
Many of the leaders on the Repub-
lican side heretofore have opposed
cloture and today a number of ma
jority senator's expressed doubt as to
the, advisability of injecting a clo-
ture contest into the tariff situation
believing that it would delay rather
than expedite, action on the bill. Ad-
yocates of the cloture rule contend
ed, however, that time would be saw
ed in the end.

RETURN TO NEW YORK

Mr.. and Mrs. Kerr Belcher and
son, David, returned today to their
home in New York City after a
stay Of one month in Abbeville with
relatives and friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Belcher have en-
joyed their visit South, and the
people of Abbeville were delighted
to have them here. Mr.. Belcher
spent his boyhood in Abbe-
vile and as the years passed he
longed for the boyhood scenes and
haunts of other days.
About five years ago he married
Miss Margaret Jeanne in the St.
Matthews Cathedral at Dallas, Tex
as. They have one son, David, who
returns to New York and will be
able to tell his young friends how
his father behaved when he was a
a boy, such as untying the horses
hitched to racks on the public
square on Saturday afternoons and
running off out to the Gilliams and
following the "thresher" about the
country, when threshers made pill
grimages from farm to farm and
took toll from each farmer for
wheat threshed. The pity is that
David will never know the joys of
lying in a straw pile while the sun
beats down and hearing the negroes
talk and work and laugh.

ancial means for the settlement of
the European situation, with loan
to Germany considered as one of the
first measures necessary. Informal
discussions among the lnanciers pre-
liminary to the meeting indicated
that a loan to Germany must be OF
considerable magnitude to bring
about a real settlement and assure
that a fresh crisis will not spring up
within a few months.
The figures mentioned ranged from
$500, 100000 to $2,oO0,OO0,Ooo, the
latter apparently meeting with the
most favor. Such loan, however,
would be contingent, it is understood
upon a decisive revision downward
in the cash reparation payments de-
manded from Germany.

MENT I'm THAT 1T GAVE II
EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO PUR-
CHASE

Washington, May 25.-An opin-
ion by Attorney General .Daugherty
submitted to Secretary Weeks and
forwarded today to the house mill
tary committee holds that the con-
tract executed by the government
with the Alabama Power company
is "invalid" with respect to the pro-
vision which power company official
contend gives them the right of ex-
elusive purchase Of the govern
ment's interests in the steam power
plant at Gorgas, Alabama.
The opinion was presented to the
committee by Chairman Kahn i'm
mediately upon it's receipt from the
war department, the committee
having been called to consider the
document in connection with the
investigation of proposals made by
Henry Ford and other private inter-
ests to develop the governments
power and nitrate projects at
Muscle Shoals.
Members of the committee who
favored the Ford proposal said the
opinion was of the greatest impor-
tance with respect to the ultimate
action upon the proposal in con-
gress. Mr.. Ford proposed to pur-
chase the nitrate plant and, under
his offer would receive clear title to
the power station at Gorgas.
Vice President Hammitt of the
Air Nitrates corporation, and
Thomas Martin, president of the
Alabama Power company both had
served notice to the committee that
the interest they represented conf
dently expected the government to
live up to the terms of the respect
i've contracts and in the event of
failure on the part Of the govern
ment would institute court proceed
ings to prevent the delivery of the
properties to other private inter-
ests.
The power company, pursuant to
the terms of the contract with the
war department recently made Of
fer to Secretary Weeks of $780,
900 for the governments inter-
est in the Gorgas plant, the railroad
and transmission line to Muscle
