HARRIS TO MANAGE
TIGERS NEXT YEAR
Deal Indirectly Confirmed,
but Resignation of Moriar-
ty Is Awaited.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

It's moving day for two of Washing
tons base ball idols While Walter
Johnson is in New York conferring with
Paul Block, owner of the Newark In
ternational League club, and seeking a
release that will permit him to assume
the management of the Nationals, STAN
ley Harris, recently deposed from the
local leadership, is completing arrange
ments to become bench manager of the
Detroit Tigers.
In Johnson's case, nothing more than
the formality Of penning his signature
to Washington contract remains, fol
Block already has announced he will
clear the way for the veterans return
to his former club. In Harris case, II
is learned from reliable sources that the
Detroit ownership awaits only the resig-
nation of George Moriarty,. who has
been pilot of the Tigers the past two
seasons, before announcing the appoint
ment of the man who so successfully
handled the Washington club for i've
seasons.
Club Heads Are Silent.
The transfer from Washington to De-
troit has been indirectly confirmed by
Harris, but Clark Griffith, president OF
the Nationals, and Frank Navin, the
Tigers president, are withholding con-
drmation for good reasons of their own
Although Harris will make no direct
statement, since returning from Detroit
where he conferred with Navin, he has
been in conference several times with
Griffith and there is reason to believe
that only the REIMBURSEMENT of the
reins by Moriarty is needed to clear the
way to the new post for the former
Washington leader.
The deal involving the shift of Har-
ris from Washington to Detroit prob
ably is being handled largely by the
man most interested. It is believed
that Griff1th empowered Harris to ar
range the affair to the best interests
of all concerned. Either a cash trans
action or player deal probably will re-
suit. Griffith repeatedly has declared
with Harris effort to land the berth
and he might be willing to let his
former manager to go to Detroit for a
small return.
There is no chance that Charley
Gehringer, star second-Sacker of the
Tigers and this year considered the
player most valuable to them, will be
involved in the deal. 1t has been re-
ported that Harris, when in conference
with Navin, advised against such a
deal. Gehringer is one of the men

CAR FARE INCREASE
COMES UP MONDAY
Definite Decision on Capital
Traction Expected From
Utilities Commission.

With the gas valuation case side
tracked for another week, the Public
Utilities Commission Monday will turn
its attention to the long pending ap-
plication OF the Capital Traction Co
for a higher fare.
Indications are that definite de-
cision may be reached Monday. There
is little likelihood, however, that the
commission will make known its ver-
dict then, If it reaches one, as it is the
intention of John w. Childress, chair
man, to. advise the public of the de-
cision In the same manner that the car
company will be notified-through the
medium of formal order.
Ten Days to Be Consumed.
Mr.. Childress pointed out that it will
take the commission at least 10 days
after it arrives at decision to perfect
the formal order. This order, he said
will be carefully drawn with the assist
ance of Corporation Counsel William w
Bride, general counsel to the commits
sion, because of the possibility OF the
car fare case being taken to the courts
either by the car company or the public
utilities committee of the Federation OF
Citizens Associations.
The order, Mr. Childress explained
will contain a detailed explanation of
the reasons of the commission in max
ing its decision. SO that 1t will not be
necessary for any one to SurmiSe or
seek more light on the subject In
other words, the document Is to mark
an unusual procedure on the part OF
the commission in this important case.
Ordinarily formal orders merely briefly
deny or grant an application of pub
lie utility corporation without an ex-
planation of the reasons for the action.
Whether the commission will approve
or refuse the Capital Traction Co.'s ap-
plication is purely a matter OF con-
lecture. If the commissioners have
made up their minds on this question
they are not telling any one about 1t.
1t is now almost certain, however, that
action on the petition will not be fore
stalled by revaluation of the car COM
pany, which means that the commission
will either deny or grant the increase
without much further ado.
William A. Roberts, vice chairman OF
the utilities committee of the Fedora
ton, has insisted that the commission
Is legally bound to make new valua-
ton with each rate case, but legal ad-
visers have told the commission that
this is not correct-that there Is moth
ing in the public utilities act or the law
to support the contention Of Roberts.
Regardless of the commissions dispo-
sition of higher fare application, the
case most certainly is going to the
courts for final decision. If the in
crease is denied, the Capital Traction
Co. is expected to resort to legal meas
ures to obtain the financial relief II
says 1t needs to pay z per cent divi-
dend. On the other hand, If the fares
are raised, then the federation through

PLAN NORTH ROUTE
FOR ZEPPELIN TRIP
By the Associated Press.

KOENIGSBERG, Germany, october
13.-A Zeppelin fight between Europe
and the United States by way of the
Arctic regions in order to determine
the practicability of that route is now
being actively prepared by committee
under the craftsmanship Of Fridtjof
Nansen, noted Polar explorer.
It is believed that weather condi-
tions will be more favorable in the
Arctic than over the regular north At
lantic course. The Zeppelin will be
commanded by Capt. Walter Bruins,
secretary-general of the Society of
Arctic Research.
It is understood that the coming
aeronautic convention in Berlin will fix
the date for the Arctic flight, which
probably will be next May or June.
Three Russian scientists-Prof Wiese,
meteorologist; Prof. Schmidt, biologist,
and Prof. Isatschenko, biologist
arrived in Koenigsberg today en- route
to Berlin and discussed the plans for
the expedition.
