He made a unique major league
record on June 1. 1910, while playing

Miller, a native Cincinnatian, broke
into the majors with his home town
team on April Is. 1904, playing second
base for the Reds in a game with
the Chicago Cubs. Higgins second

1t finds IL impossible to accept the

tions of the honor and sovereignty of
the Greek state.
These demands were that honors in
the form of 81 gun salute be paid
by a Greek naval squadron to the
Italian Flag that the Greek authori-
ties institute thorough inquiry into
the massacre on the. scene of the
Sayings, assisted by the state and
military attache in Athens and that
all the guilty be executed.
The Greek reply promises a formal
apology for the incident but in a
modified form from that laid down in
the Italian ultimatum and also agrees
to the celebration Of religious func-
ton in memory of the victims.
1t offers "just indemnity" to the
families of the slain commissioners
and concludes with the hope that
Italy will acknowledge Greece's con-
ciliatory spirit and her desire to give
satisfaction.
