unaware that Jacobs sale of the fran
chise to Brooklyn violated the lease
and contract with the Easton Athlet-
is Association. He had been, however,
informed by Jacobs: "The people of
Easton are building new park, equip
ped with light" March 16); "The
town of Easton has raised $4,000 to
build new grandstand, fence and equip
the park with lights; I have a four
year lease on the park" March 25).
Certainly this knowledge Of these
commitments of the people and town
of Easton was amply sufficient to
notify Brooklyn that they must have
had some rights in the situation and
that Brooklyn must inquire whether
Jacobs wa at liberty to transfer the
franchise. A mere inspection of the
lease, or inquiry of the park owner
ship, would have disclosed his inabil-
ity to do so.
The people of Easton loyalty and
generously supported Eastern Shore
League baseball. Their undertakings
to assist the club were faithfully
carried out. And they have been
grievously mistreated. Many baseball
rules also have been wilfully violated.
Therefore, the sale of the Easton
franchise and player contracts to
Brooklyn and their leasing by Brook
lyn to Jacobs are declared illegal and
void: both Brooklyn and Jacobs are
declared ineligible for three years
from date hereof to operate, or to be
connected with operation of, a club
in the Eatern Shore League, direct
ly or indirectly; the Easton franchise
is declared vacated, terminated and
forfeited to the Eastern Shore League,
subject to being awarded preferably
to the people of Easton, in considera-
ton of their $11,400 investment in
park facilities for operation of a club
there) by the Eastern Shore League,
in accordance with it's rules, for opera
ton in Easton; and all players on the
reserve list of the Easton club and
all players transferred from that club
since April 80, 1888, to Brooklyn, or
any clubs affiliated with Brooklyn,
are declared free agents Except that
they are not to sign with or be trans
ferred to Brooklyn, or any Brooklyn
affiliate, within three years from date
hereof).
AS Brooklyn's representative, Vice
President MacPhail, in leasing the
player contracts and franchise acted
secretly and in violation of notifica-
tions given him in 1886 (when he as
a Cincinnati official, proposed to lease
players and franchises to two other
clubs) that such transactions must be
disapproved, fine of $500 is hereby
imposed, to be paid by MacPhail or
by the Brooklyn Club within ten days
from date hereof.
The Brooklyn Club also is directed
to pay to the National Association,
within ten days, the sum of $1,000,
being the amount due the National
Association on Brooklyn's purchase
of the player contracts, payment of
which by Jacobs or Brooklyn was
evaded by dealing secretly.

DRASTIC CHANGES
Situation Worst in 40 Years.
Association Declares in
Roosevelt Letter.
By the Associated Press

S9 tfe Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 29.-The In
dian Rights Association, through its
president, J. NJ Steere, made public
yesterday letter addressed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt appealing for drastic
correction in the administration of
the affairs of $4,000 Navajo Indians
In New Mexico and Arizona.
For over 40 years." the letter stated,
the Indian Rights Association has
been in close touch with the affairs of
the Navajos, and we note with regret
that never. during that period, was
there such q tragic situation as now
Observation-Disclosures, chaos, a feeling
of hopelessness, loss of confidence in
the Government and its representa-
tives, beWilderment and fear of the
future"
The situation calls for prompt and
drastic action by you,' the letter
stated. Little can be hoped for If You
simply refer the matter to Secretary
1ckes and Commissioner Collier with
out instructions that something be
done. There have been many blunders,
and in our opinion, they will continue
unless the administration of the Navajo
affairs is drastically corrected"
Commissioner Collier mentioned In
the letter is John Collier, head Of the
Bureau of Indian Affairs.

private office, with a hundred or more
newspaper men and women standing

question. pert or pertinent, that pops
into their heads. furnishes the biggest
| thrill to the visiting correspondents
and they go away marveling at the
nonchalant manner in which one can
approach the head OF Government"
in the United States Their astonish-
ment is further increased afterward
when, as frequently happens at the
conclusion Of conference, they are
introduced personally to the President
by one Of his secretaries and permitted
to have short chat with him.
Among the many Government Off
cias who are called on frequently as
speechmakers, one of the most in
defatigable is Assistant Secretary of
War johnson. Scarcely had he re-
turned from his recent inspection trip
to Alaska, than he hoped off for
Texas. where he addressd the Ameri-
can Legion convention, In session at
Austin. Timeliness was given to his
speech by his assertion that SO long
as strife and open battle imperil the
harmony of the world, I'VE must keep
we'll armed; we must be ready, but
mark you, not for offense but for de-
fense, not for aggression but for pro-
lection, not to wage war but to keep
out of war"
Differences of opinion between cabi-
net officers are probably necessary
concomitants to the varied, and often
interlocking. activities of any govern
ment administration. This years
! barn-bursting wheat crop has forced
such divergence OF views between the

he must support President 100 per
cent, irrespective of whether he is
right or wrong? Also Mr.. Mencken
suggests that if unfortunately through
the laws of nature Mr.. Roosevelt
should not live out his term and Jack
Garner becomes President, would Mr..
Lewis still believe in his 100 per cent
rule of supporting a Democratic Pres
ident?
All the Democratic primary cam
paigns, to be sure, seem to be waged
on the idea that United States Sen
ator is not supposed to have any con-
vlctlonS Of his own, but is to follow
the President blindly. If these tactics
should be successful the independence
of the United States Senate would
come to and end, the result being OBJ
tanned by processes of political un-
morality through the use of public
funds. Wherever administration can
dates are being put forward their big
gest trump card is the promise to
spend the money derived from tax
payers in other States. No admins
tration candidate ever mentions the
morality Of paying back the vast sums
being borrowed from the American
people.

Expressing belief that labor must

the extension of democratic progress in
American life" the council added:
Under relationships, whether OF
