They claim the league is hopping around “like a mountain goat” and will fall unless the major leaguers come to its rescue.

Says Garry Herrmann: Iam of the opinion that 8o long as the baseball war continues the game cannot possi- bly be benefited, and I am for the game before all else.

National League Holds Annual Meeting in New York. New York, Dec. 14—The annual meeting of the National league here today developed the fact that active negotiations are again under way for a settlement of the baseball strife be- tween organized and _independent baseball interes: President John K. Tener of the National league, in an- swer to numerous questions as to the truth of a report that there had been a conference between his organization and members of the Federal league, made the following formal stat nt: “Certain club owners of the National league yesterday met representative: of the Federal league, but no readjust- ment of basebail conditions can made without the asreement of major leagues and pending the decision of Judge Landis.” Further than this, President Tener refused to commit himself or the Na- ional league, and all the club owners of the senior league, taking their cue rom their executive, declined to dis- cuss the report or comment upon the | rumors of peace. Tener's reference to majdr leagues in his short and rather ambigious announcement was taken to mean that such arrangements as may have been discussed at the conference must be sanctioned by the American be | dent_of the Pittsburgh club, had left for Chicago before the National league meeting adjourned this afternoon with a copy of the proposed plan of agree- ment as outlined by the National league magnates and the Federal league officials. Dreyfuss could not be located In this city tonight, and his fellow magnates professed ignorance of his whereabouts. It was said, however, that it was necessary for the Nationai league to lay the report of the con- ference before the American league, since that body was not formally aware of the efforts of the national league to bring about a working agree- ment between organized and independ- ent baseball The meefing, which Tener admits was held in this city late last night, and which was denied as taking place by several National and Federal league club owners earlier in the day. formed part of a dinner given by President Tener to the club owners of nhis league. Every one of the elght National league club executives is said to have been present, in addition to James A. Gilmore, president of the Federal league, and Harry F. Sinclair, treasurer of the Newark Feds, one of the wealthiest backers of the inde- pendent league. The meeting is sald to have been a continuation of the conference heid in Philadelphia_during the world's series and a tentative outline of the means ! whereby a working agreement might be reached was adopted. While none of the magnates could afirm the re- port, it is understood that the Na- tional league magnates offered to per- mit certain Federal league backers to purchase stock in several of their clubs and to arrange for others to be taken care of in eastern minor leagues. While the possibility of peace was the outstanding feature of the Na- tional league meeting, several routine matters were disposed of before ad- journment late this afternoon. The board of directors formally awarded the championship pennant to the Philadelphia club. The following directors were elected unanimously for | the ensuing year: Messrs. Dreyfuss, | Ebbets, Herrmann, Hempstead and | Gaffney. the regular meeting President Tener in his yearly report referred to the season of 1915 as an artistic and financial success. He paid a tribute to the late A. G. Spalding, who was a life member of the league, and also to the memory of the late Andrew S. | Freedman, a former president of the New York club. As a mark of respect to the memory of these two men who were So closely identified with the national game, the league meeting was adjourned until 2 o'clock tomorrow af- | ternoon. At tomorrow’s session several pro- posed amendments to the constitution will bé discussed. A limitation of pass gate privileges also will be recom- mended and a fesolution to make sus- | “ar MARKET CURTAILED BY STORM. Opened Dull, But Became Animated and Strong in the Afternoon. New York, Dec. 14—The market drifted idly during the early part of today's session, business being some- what curtailed by yesterday’s storm, which interrupted communication with thi§ center. In the afternoon, how- ever, the list became more animated and strong, advances comprehending many classes of securities, Professional traders again contrib- uted largely to the day's operations, that faction-evincing a sudden dispo- sition to cover numerous short com- mitments. Foreign affairs were hard- ly a market factor, and little was heard of relations between Washington and Vienna. London's offerings of Ameri- cans were in lesser volume, presuma- bly in consequence of the man of the British treasury for direct purchase of our securities, pursuant to its policy of “mobilization;” In any event, the scheme virtually puts a quietus on ar- bitrage between this center and the British metropolis for a time. Anglo-French bonds sold in the reg- plar way at 95 7-8, a decline of 3-8 from the syndicate price. The 60-day underwriting agreement expired with the close of today’s market, and here- after the bonds can be offered without Testriction of any kind. Indications point to heavy dealings under the new conditions. Speclalties were almost the sole fea- tures of interest during the forenoon, although United States Steel, Canadian Pacific, Norfolk and Western and New York Central were higher by one to two_points. Central added a fraction to its recent best on persistent re- ports of favorable dividend action at tomorrow’s meeting of the directors. Coppers led the higher movement of the afternoon, and Mercantile Ma- rine preterred rose 7 1-4 to 74 on ru- mors that the shareholders and bond- holders had reached an amicable agreement. Other prominent features of the final hour, when prices were at their best, included Studebaker, Bald win Locomotive and Texas Company, the latter making an extreme gain of 15 1-4 at 226 1-4. Total sales amount- ed to 467,000 shares. Exchange on Germany made a new low record, checks falling to 77 1-5. Austrian remittances made no quota- ble recovery, but sterling and francs were fairly stéady. Bonds were irregular on light trad- ing. Total sales, par value, agsregat- ed $4,410,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS. Anaconds. Cop. Atehteon, T. & 8. ¥ 1100 Atchison, T. & 8 pf . Aentic” Coast = Daldwin_ Tocomottre .21 Dait. &OMo .

New Haven, Conn., Dec. 14.—A spe- cial committee delegated by the Yale Athletic association to name a foot- ball coach at Yale will meet in New York tomorrow, when it is expected that a selection will be made. This committee consists of Vance C. Mc- Corwich, ’93S., S. B. Thorne, 96, and John R. Kilpatrick, '11. The commit- tee has met once before, but the result of its deliberations is not known here. It was said tonight in well informed circles on the campus that among the names most likely to be considered are Dr. A. H. Sharpe, "02, now coach at Cornell; T. A. D.

The game was interesting and was played hard by all plavers and the visitors received their share of the ap~ plause for their good work. Hellberg of Mystic, was the star of the evening and his brilliant work was commended by all. The first Lalf resulted in a score ot 22 to 12 in favor of the home team.

As usual, Connie Mack has the larg- est flock of youngsters that ever in- vaded a big league baseball camp in- cluded in the list that he will carry to Jacksonville, Fla., next spring. And the list may be further increased dur- ing the winter. Connies, of course, has the greatest aggregation of pitchers that any major league club ever as- sembled. That is his hobby. Eighteen pitchers are included in the list who will_receive tryouts in the sunny south. . Ira Thomas will again have charge of the pitchers, and out of the bunch of raw material that Connie and his scouts have gathered together, he hopes to secure twirlers that will do the trick again for the White Ele- phants.

As at that time I did not know that the acceptance of that money would bring me into any trouble, I told him that T had sufficient funds to get along until I came back. On different occa- slons in his room Von Brincken show- ed me maps and information about Canada and pointed out to me where- abouts he wanted the act to be_done. “This was to be between Pevel- stoke and Vancouver on the Canadian Pacific railway and I was to get three thousand dollars in_case of ,a suc- cessful blowing up of a militafy train or bridge or tunnel. There are many tunnels and bridges and _ military trains pass every three or four days. He also knew when a cargo of dy- namite would pass. He then explained to me how I could get hold of dyna- mite and explaired to me that on the other side of the river on which the Canadian Pacific ran (I believe it was the Fraser river), the Canadian North- ern railway was in course of construc- tion and they had at intervals powder and dynamite magazines and that it would be very easy to steal some of the dynamite. In the month of May I went to Can- ada and arrived in Vancouver on a Sunday morning. somewhere arount tight o'clock ard immediately tele- phoneg Mr. Orchard. * He came to visit me about two o'click in the after- noon in the Elysium hotel and I spent the most of the day at Mr. Orchard’s home. Next morning he took me up to the offices of the Intelligence offi- cials and I met Mr. Tweedale there, where T made the statements as made heretofore. Mr. Tweedale was intro- duced by me to a man by the name of W. H. enderson, general engineer of the Great Western Permanent Loan company. who had known me for a couple of years in Canada, so that I was .dentified there by Mr. Orchard, who Fad known me two years in Cal- gary. Alberta. On Monday night Mr. Tweedale and I went to Victoria, B. C., to see the commanding district of- ficer, Mr. Ogilvie, where the statement made by me was read and the follow- ing scheme was agreed upon: That with the tance of officials of the Canadian Pacific Railroad com- pany a_statement should appear in the papers of the fact that a tunnel was caved in, in one of the curves of Sel- irks. In order to prove the blow- ing vp of this tunnel I at the same time sent a letter to Von Bricken stating that something was going to iapper in a couple of days. Then Mr. Peters of the Canadian Pacific Railway company agreed to the plan nd in the papers appeared a news item substantially as follows: The headline was “Trouble on the Railroad.” A report was received this morning that one of the tunnels in the Selkirks had caved in and railway trafiic had been considerably delayed. The cause of it is unknown to the railway officials, but the officials are investigating. M. Peters, the general superintendent and the divisional dis- trict engineer and other officials left last night for the mountains. So when this appeared in the papers I wrote a postcard to Von Brincken of which he coqtents were about as tollows: n the front page of Vancouver pa- pers of such a date (Ithink that it was the 10th of May), news appears of a flood in Japan. Our system may be in trouble so wire here at the Elysium MR. JOHN BARRYMORE In “The Dictator”, Romantic Comedy, At the Auditorium Wednesday and Thursday. Richard Harding Davis' cisco it was on a Sunday night. 1 aw Von Brincken next morning and he told me that he had answered, by telezram my post card as follows: “Would like to send some flowers tc your wife, but do not know her ad- dress” Meaning that he wanted the address of my wife to send there a letter which would have been forward- ed to me and then and taere handed me two hundred dollars ($200) in United States greenbacks and told me to come up to the office of the German congulate and get the balance, as he wanted Mr. Bopp, the German consul, to take some responsibility in this matter himself. ‘When I came up to the office of the German consulate I was let into the private office of Mr. Bopp, the German consul, where were present Mr. Von Shack, the Ges n vice consul, the said Von Brincken and Mr. Franz Bopp, the German consul himself. They asked me to tell my story, show- ing me a map of British Columbia. I made objection to doing that in_the three people and Mr. Bopp, the Ger- man consul, indignantly rose up and said all three were sworn in and that I could rely, without any fear tell what 1 had done for the consul and the fatherland. I then told him what I had done in Canada. Our conversa- tions with the consul were always in German. I related my story as it was written out for me by the divisional engineer ©of the Canadian Pacific company and, not satisfied with my story, they wanted to get some further proof. I had already given them the four copies of the different Vancouver pa- pers which I brought with me and as I am slightly acquainted with the Dutch vice consul, Mr. Van Roggen, in Vancouver, B. C., I wrote a letter to this gentleman of the following tenor: Asking him to inquire of the general superintendent of the Canadian Pa- cific_company why a car of freight which I expected from the east had not arrived and to kindly wire me at my expense. In the meantime I wired Mr. Orchard to send me the following telegram: “Superintendent refuses informatio: Find out, however, that freight has been delayed eleven days on account of accident. (Signed) “V. R. 1 received this telegram at the Pal- ace hatel via Postal Telegraph com- vany, and armed with this telegram I went' to see the German consul. It must be here stated that Mr. Bopp, the German consul, wrote himself to Mr. Van Roggen. I only furnished the address. With this gentleman I went to see the German consul, Mr. Bopp, who ordered the vice consul, Mr. Von Schack, to pay me the additional ex- pense of three hundred dollars (3300) traveling expenses, which made five hundred dollars (3500) ‘total. * * ¢ [ agreed that I would be satisfied with seventeen hundred and fifty dollars [ 0) for my services in blowing up the tunnel instead of the three thou- sand dollars ($3,000) as was first agreed upon, and I was promised the money the next day. Von Bricken did not pay me, how- ever, the next day, so I wrote a little note to the German consul in which I stated that it would not be in his in- terest to let me wait any longer and that unless I got settlement before next day at 4 o'clock our relations would not be any more friendly. Then Von Brincken, the next day, handed a letter to a man by the name of Eis- enhuth, which man handed the letter t0 me at the Palace hotel. The con- tents of this letter was substantially as follows: “Will settle this afternoon. Jack.” Written in Von Brincken's handwrit- ing. This letter I sent to_the author- ities in Canada. I know Von Brinck- en’s handwriting very well and have seen him write frequently. I met Von Brincken that afternoon and he brought seventeen hundred and ffty dollars ($1,750) in greenbacks incken had made certain portion of the money from me and I was paid fifteen hundred dol- lars (1,500) and two hundred ard fifty ($250) he got himself. He retained that amount. Von Brincken stated that I had to sign a receipt, but that as the amount was rather high they put it at seven hundred dollars in the receipt for secret service work and traveling expenses and the receipt was for seven hundred dollars ($700.). When I asked about this he said they could easily account for thc other amount and that if anybody wanted to prove our relationship (their rela- tions with me) we could say I was in the secret service. Von Brincken also told me that a man with one of the steamshsip companies by the name of Capelle was trying to find out about the extent of the damage done to the Make the holidays happier still by ordering a special Pin- Cask (5 gallons) of Bass Ale for family use on draught at home.
