II W1eiIS IN SIGHi
TO MICHIGAN
/ STRIKE
END OF SIX MONTHS OF IDLE
NESS FINDS NOTHING GAINED
BY EITHER SIDE.
Calumet, Mich., Jan. 18.-With the
end of the first six months of the cop
per strike, operators and union miners
appear to be no nearer an agreement
than they were when the struggle be
gan on July 23 last. The continued
mild weather has confirmed labor
leaders in the belief that they will be
able to hold the striking forces intact
throughout the winter. They assert
that the Western Federation of Min
ers is prepared to support the local
organization through a long contest, if
necessary.
The mine owners maintain that the
backbone of the strike has been brok
en and if the strikers do not return
to work without further delay all their
places will be filled.
"The fight has just begun," was the
assertion today of James Iouch. To
gether with James A. Short, Mr.
Rluch is here representing the Amer
'ican Federation of Labor. IHe said
as many men were quitting as were
returning to work and those outsid
ers who were brought in to fill the
strikers' places would desert at the
first sign of warm weather.
The special grand jury which is in
vestigating disorders growing out of
the strike is expected to resume its
work tomorrow.
Some, disposition is to he made this
week of the $30,000 collected among
the citizens of this district for the re
lief of the families bereft of some of
its members by the Italian hall dis
aster on Christmas eve. The refusal
of Charles H. Moyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, to ac
cept this money' on behalf of the suf
ferers was followed by his deportation
on the night of December 26.
If the local committee is unable to
distribute the fund among those for
whose benefit it was raised, the con
tributions will be returned to the
donors.
GENERAL SALAZAR'S
BOND IS INCREASED
Santa Fe, N. M., Jan. 18.-In the
United States district court here on
motion of United States District At
torney Summers Burkhart, Judge
William H. Pope increased the bond
of General Jose Ynez Salazar, under
arrest at Marfa, Texas, for violation
of the neutrality laws, from $1,000 to
$5,000. Salazar, while at liberty under
$1,000 bond, fled .from the United
States,' returning to Mexico. He will
have a hearing at Marfa tomorrow
and if he fails to furnish the increased
bond, will be brought here and held in
jail pending his trial. It is said that
Salazar may also be called upon to
explain why he ordered the execution
of Thomas Fountain of Las Cruces,
after Secretary of State Knox had
sent him word not to shoot the New
Mexico citizen. Secretary Knox told
Salazar at the time that if harm be
fell Fountain he would hold him (Sal
azar) personally responsible.

High Spot in Next Season
Will Be East-West Clash
Grantland Rice Discourses on 1914 Gridiron Battles Before
Closing Football Dope for Year and Looks Toward
Harvard-Michigan Battle as the Prize
Affair of the Campaign.
(By Grantland Rice.)
In so far as all outlying sections of
the American landscape are concerned,
the high-spot in 1914 football will ar
rive on the afternoon of October 31/
when "Hurry Up" Yost leads hit
Michigan array into the Harvard
stadium for the best test yet offered
of the eastern system against the
western.
Yet the advance odds are so over
whelmingly with Harvard for this
battle that it is quite doubtful wheth
,r after all the test will be an accur
ate one.
Rival Prospects.
Harvard next fall returns nine vet
,rans from a championship team:
lichigan returns three. Harvard loses
wo regulars; Michigan, eight. The
Crimson machine returns its entire
hack field, with Logan at quarter,
Malhan and Bradlee at halves and
Brickley at full. I'or line play it re
urns Hardwick, end; Gilman, tackle:
Pennock and Cowen, gulards, and
otnucy, center.
Among her regulars Michigan re
turns Hughett, quarter; (halt, half,
and Lyons, at end. Traphagen, a for
ward who played in three games, will
also 1,e on hand, with Captain Rayns
ford, who although elected captain
was a substitute last "all and partici
parelt in only three iattlcs.
Michigan's Handicap.
This situation, of course, puts Mich
igan tinder at heavy handicap. Yost
must fill at least seven open gaps,
while liaughton, in addition to eight
or nine veteran regulars, has a fine
list of reserves in Withington, Curtis,
Whitney, Coolidge and McKinlock.
who figured in several games last fall
and who will be ready to step in at
a moment's notice.
It takes no vast fiund of export tes
timony to figure that Michigan's task
for 1914 is ia monumental one. Yost
mist round out almost an entirely
new line-up to compete against one of
the greatest machines of the game
almost intact.
Good Fight On.
The situation, however, Isn't its des
perate for a close, hard-fought game
as things might look. The odds
against Michigan winning are tre
mendous. But, there is still enough
Wolverine material in sight for Yost
to offer considerable rebuttal. In ad
dition to Ilughett. fGalt and Lyons,
his regulars, he has a first-class for
ward in Traphagen, who has had
some experience, and he has at least
three good men on his freshman
squad. These are Maulbach, halfback;
Nieman, center, and Splawn fullback.
Yost regards Maulbach as one of
the best young halfbacks in the game.
Working with Galt, almost the equal
of Craig, and with Hughett, another
star, this insures at least three first
class people itn the backflcield. Lamar
Splawn, another hack, is a wonderful
punter and passer and if he can be
developed further in other ways will
round out ua backfield to compare
favorably with even the Brickley, Ma
han, Bradlee combhination at the run
ning and kicking game.
Yost's entire line wits swept away
and his main job will be rebulilding
this part of his machine. If he can
turn this trick the battle may he
closer than the a.dvance dope suggests.
We have talked over 1914 prospects
at length with Yost, but he says there
Is so much to he done before he can
round out any sort of a machine that
he doesn't care to make any prophecy
as to the Ilarvard-Michigan outcome.
Systems.
llaugihton will surely stick to his
samne sauccessfull system and Yost will
bring on the western system in all
its glory. This will insure a number
of interesting mnmllents and obser\va
tions theretin.
But this Michigan-Ilarviird battle
isn't tile only onlle by several leagues.
Another contest worth oblserving early
in the year will he the clash between
larvard and W. and J. This latter
institution also returns a veteran nma
chine anld one of spliced and power.
If' .ou're catching, it's a wild pitch.

i a small Inan, or a kid, the manager
should say: "Getoutathis, you yellow

Professor Carr-Right. Benny Mace,
what is a bonehead?
Benny Mace-A display of genius
that falls down.
Professor Carr--Excellent. Charley
Sturr, what is the proper definition
of eternity?
Harvard will have her hands full
here-probably a tougher battle than
she ,will draw with Michigan.
Harvard-Yale - Princeton.
The year 1914 at the start looks far
better for Harvard and Princeton
than for Yale. The Blue reservation
loses about seven regulars, and
Hinkey has the busiest little autumn
ahead that he has ever known. Com
ment upon Harvard's outlook is un
necessary. Brickley, Mahan, Hard
wick, Pennock and Gilman are a
first-class machine without further
help.
Princeton, however, will be in shape
to give Harvard a battle to the wire.
The Tigers' return material for one
of their greatest elevens and as a
better policy will be installed this
Tiger-Crimeon meeting will be one of
the best games ever fought in the
cast. Princeton has a number of
things in her favor. She returns the
hulk of her 1913 squad. She has
added to this list several stars from
her last freshman team, athletes of
high ranking, And with all this speed
and power trained for aggressive,
open play and for greater variety in
attack, the Tiger machine has its best
chance in many years.
On advance form the IHarvard
Princeton battle will be an even fight,
and the odds are that both will upset
"arle unless the Blue kicks in with
another miracle or Hinkey takes up
a much better system than Yale has
known for many years.
In the West.
Chicago, Wisconsin and Minnesota
should fight out another interesting
season for the conference title; as
each eleven returns sufficient ma
terial to insure good football.
Stagg returns a number of good
men and all the old man of the Mid
way needs is something to build on.
Giiven a fair start he can be depended
upon to go the rest of the distance.
All in all, the 1914 campaign should
be one of the most interesting ever
known in so far as all sections are
(( nrerned. There will be a greater
number of high-class contests all
around than any year has drawn
within remembrance. There also will
he a big advance in the more open
game and a clearer test of the two
sy.sems advocated by leading elevens
in the -cast and west. The forward
pass will get a much fairer test and
will be put to use in a scientific
rather than in the haphazard fashion
which has governed its usage entirely
too much.
YANKEE ALLEN WORKS

Missoula Elected as Goat
Long Ago, Says President
Garden City and Great Falls Would Have Been Kicked Out
of Union League If They Had Tried to Stick,
According to Bill Murphy's Dope.
If Missoula had not withdrawn gi

have |been an honest-tO-goodness tem- le
pest at the meeting of the magnates, tl
according to W. L. Murphy, president e:
of the lately deceased Highlanders, ci
who has just returned from Butte. c
Mr. Murphy went officially to inform f;
the rulers of the circuit that the
Highlander unles wouldn't appear on p
the league diamonds this summer. g
While there he discovered that Mis- li
soula, by withdrawing; escaped the '
indignity of a forced exit. Great h

In the same boat. b
A Frame-Up.
The president's info is that the g
magnates from the southern or dicta- t
torial end of the circuit had a cold a
deck ready. They didn't want the
league to extend all over the great h
northwest and were prepared to ii
threaten withdrawal if Missoula and a
Great Falls weren't ousted. Of course, I
the two Montana cities couldn't have a
been forced out, but the rebellion of c
Salt Lake, Ogden, Boise and Murray a
would have made a sweet little wreck
out of the league. c
At the time of the directors' de- f
cision to quit, The Missoulian sag
CONFERENCE IS HELD
ON THE SAVING
OF RADIUM
WITHDRAWAL OF VALUABLE
LANDS IN COLORADO IS OP
POSED BY SOME.
Washington, Jan. c.--An executive
c(onference on legislate.,n proposed for
the conservation of leiblic lands con
taining radium was li, d today at the
interior depa rtment by Secretary
I;ane, Chairman Foster of the house
committee on mines atnd mining, the
Colorado delegation to congress, Rep
resentative Brown of New York and
Thomas Henahan, conmnissioner of the
Colorado bureau of milles.
'Thile ohject was to I concile the op
position of the west ern men to the
Foster hill for the withdrawal from
entry of lands that contain radium
and it was predicted that a satisfac
tory compromise wouldl e reached.
There will be othr conferences.
1 Secretary Lane and Representative
Foster urged immedia;te legislation to
- prevent the radium ore lands from tall
- ing into the hands of foreign monop
olists and pointed to the scarcity of
1 radium, its almost fabulous price and
its great value to surgery. Senator
V Thomas, Representatives Taylor and
? Keating of Colorado and Commissioner
e Hanahan opposed the segregation of
d any more land, contending that it
would retard development of the state
g to that extent.
r The conference agreed, however,
if that foreign exploitation of radium
from Colorado and Utah should be'
gested that the magnates probably
would welcome the contraction of the
league. Evidently, they did.
Now the southerners have four of
the six clubs in their neck of the for
est with Salt Lake getting almost
continuous ball. It makes a handier
circuit out of it, and Salt Lake will
fill the treasury for another year.
If local fans had seen fit to sup- I
port baseball and if Great Falls had
gone to the league meeting with a
little kale, the Union association
would have gone to pieces, if this dope
is correct, and with Helena, Butte,
Great Falls and Missoula unencum
bered the advocates of a state league
wouldn't have had much trouble in
lining up a circuit. As it is, Utah
gets the benefit of the Montana
towns' crowds and only the small fry
are left for the air-castle league.
President Murphy believes that the
local club might have sold some of
its players if it had so desired. Now,
of course, all hands go to Murray.
Inasmuch as that is little less than
a Salt Lake berth no one ought to
complain. Blank probably will man
age the club.
Mr. Murphy didn't attend the offi
cial meeting. He tendered Missoula's
farewell address and then departed.
-G. P. S,
legislated against and that there
should he no monopdly and there was
a disposition to seek ground for agree
ment.
The house mines committee will
hear tomorrow Dr. KellY of Baltimore
in advocacy of the Foster bill. Dr.
Gaylord of New York also will testify.
J. M. Flannery of Pittsburgh and
others interested in exporting radium
are here to attend the hearing.

HEARINGS FAVORED1
BY PRESIDENT
WILSON
HE THINKS PENDING ANTI-TRUST
BILLS SHOULD BE WELL
DISCUSSED.
Washington, Jan. 18.-President
Wilson today put the finishing touches
on the message dealing with the anti
trust reform which he will read to a
joint session of congress Tuesday.
The administration? believes legisla
tion should be enacted promptly, not
only to correct evils in modern busi
ness, but to construct a sYstem of
government assistance that would
stimulate business development.
The president intends to emphasize
the necessity for a friendly spirit in
congress in approaching-the task and
in line with his attitude he favors
publih hearings on the hills. He op-I
posed hearings on the tariff and the
currency measures as he believed con
gress and the country had made up its
mind on the detaill and that hearings
meant unnecessary delay.
Summed Up.
Summed up, the administration pro
gram on trust reform for the present
session of congress covers the follow
ing points:
One-Skipplemental legislation to the
Sherman anti-trust law, without
amending the Sherman law, certain
additions are intended, including pro
hibition of secret price agreements,
underselling and other means of sti
fling competition.
Two-The prohibition "of interlock
ing directorates.
Three-The creation of an interstate
trade commission merged with the bu
reau of corporations and acting partly
as a board of conciliation in helping
corporations to adjust themselves to
the mandates of the law.
Four-The prohibition of holding
companies.
Five-The supervision by the inter
state commerce commission of the is
suance by railroads of stocks and
bonds and the uses to which funds so
obtained are put.
'Six-Individuals to benefit by proof
of illegality established by govern
ment suits. At present a person or
corporation injured through an al
leged unlawful combination is required
to prove the illegality of the combi
nation, regardless of decisions secured
by the government.
Seven-Provision for the punishment
of individual offenders, including not
only the persons at the head of cor
porations practicing unlawful acts\but
those individuals responsible for the
direction of unlawful restraint of
trade.
NEW RACING RECORD.
Jtiarez, Mexico, Jan. 18.-Bonne
