In Order to Make Such an

According to the Secre

RULES TO GOVERN
BASEBALL PLAYERS
Washington, Id. C, Jan. 11. An In
ternational agreement "with all or
practically all tlie nations which will
guarantee an end of competition in
navy building" wait presented as the
only alternative to the building by the
T'nited States of a navy powerful
enough "to command the respect and
fear of the world" Iy Secretary Dan
iels in testimony to-day before the
House nawil affairs committee, which
, is considering the (subject of disarma
ment. Mr. Daniels dismissed as unworthy
of discussion a third proposal for an
American navy less than equal to the
most powerful sea power in the world
"because it is a waste of money to
spend money on aii"ag"etie.y of war
frhich would be helpless if needed."
He outlined the advice which he
would give to President-elect Harding
should be be asked for counsel on na
val matters. This advice, took the
form of a suggestion that Mr. Hard
ing fmmediately upon his inaugura
tion invite the nations of the world
to meet with the representatives of the
United State in a disarmament con
ference. Authority for such action
was given by the naval appropriation
act of I91H, the secretary Raid, add
ling that if President Wilson "should
icall finch a conference it would be im
'possible for him to make recommen
dation before bis term of otliee ex
pires." "If President-elect Harding should
;do me the honor to ask my advice
nn the subject." declared Mr. Daniels,
"I would unhesitatingly say to him:
'If the L'nited States is not to become
at once a member of the league of
.nations, I believe some plan should
ibe adopted at once to secure an agree
ment for a reduction of armaments.!
.You will have the authority to call
,uch a conference. You can act on
?frch 5 and hasten the coming of the
(day when the taxpayers of this coun
try and of all countries may be safe
ly freed from the great, burden of war
preparations. Until that conference
secures world agreement let there be
710 cessation in building the ships au
thorized by Congress."'
Both on And Off the Field Are Expected
to Be Agreed on At Meeting
in Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 11. Differences of
opinion concerning rules under which
baseball is to be governed were expect
ed to disappear at the meeting to-day
of the minor league drafting commit
tee with the committees of the two
major leagues.
Approval of the new national agree
ment drawn up in New York recently
with the appointment of Federal Judge
Lundis as commissioner for seven
vears, was voted bv the major league
committee yesterday. Formal endorse
ment by the two leagues was expected
to-day. Prospects of the minor leagues
joining with the majors appeared
bright. A clause in the constitution of
the national association of minor
leagues establishing the salary limit of
players in the various classes was dis
cussed and left open, as has been the
case on other occasions. Several amend
ments to the constitution were adopt
ed, one of which is designed to elimi
nate gambling and game throwing.
The major league committees agreed
to recommend to-day the adoption of a
new form of players contract and the
signing of a contract with Judge Lan-

Then Beginning of
Work.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 11. An
nouncement that at the request of
President-elect Harding the Washing
ton inaugural committee had cancelled
all plans for the celebration in connec
tion with his inauguration next March
was received here to-day with varying
emotions.- Those who had opposed re
viving the custom of making the occa
sion a gala one chiefly because of the
expense involved expressed commenda
tion. Others while sympathizing with
the spirit that prompted Mr. Harding's
request showed, keen disappointment.
The action of the committee in meet
ing the wishes of the president-elect
means that the parade, the inaugural
ball and other features of the program
that in the past have attracted thou
sands of visitors to the capital from all
parts Of the country will be dispensed
with. Weeks of work by numerous
committees will be undone and approxi
mately JfL'OO.OOO subscribed by Wash
ingtonians toward the inauguration ex
penses will be returned. What Congress
will do regarding the $.jO,00 voted for
the erection of stands at the capitol
had not been determined to-day.
As suggested by Mr. Harding the in
auguration ceremony, it was indicated
to-day, will consist simply of the for
mal administration of the oath of office
and an address probably from the east
steps of the capitol. Then Mr. Harding
will proceed nuietlv to the White
House where, in his own language, he
"will hang up hit- hat and go to work."

Mattice, Ont, Jan. 11. The Ameri
can naval ballonists Lieutenants Far
re II, Hinton and Kloor broke camp
at Skunk Island, 20 miles north of
this town,' early to-day and started
on the last leg of their long trek back
to civilization, according to report
brought here by Indian runners. If
all goes well the trio should reach
this little frontier settlement, by night
fall and a royal welcome awaits them.
They are reported to be in good health
and spirits and eager to return to
their homes.
The airmen and their Indian guides
reached the island last night after
traveling over a hard trail for nearly
15 days from Moose Factory, where
their craft was wrecked in a forest
after a wild flight from Rockaway,
X. Y.
Until it was definitely established
that the party reached the Indian set
tlement at Skunk Island, anxiety had
pervaded the town's population and
the corps of newspaper correspondents
and photographers that some acci
dent might have befallen them. Spe
cial interest was attached to the ie
port that the men were in good health,
for it is known that Lieutenant Far
rell, the eldest of the trio, suffered
to-day by acting Secretary of State
Davis, will be contteld 111 the courts
if necessary, counsel for the lord mayor
announced here to-day.

O'CALLAGHAN WILL
SPEAK THURSDAY
Before the Committee Which Is Inves
tigating Conditions In
Ireland.
Washington, I). C, Jan. 11. Donal
O'Callaghan, lord mayor of Cork, who
arrived in the l'nited States as a stow
away and in whose case the state de
partment has refused to waive the
passport requirement w to appear
Thursday before the commission of the
committee of 100 investigating condi
tions in Ireland.
This was announi-cd to-day bv the
commission. O'Callaghan has been par
oled by the department of labor pend
ing a final decision as to his admissa
bilitv to the l'nited States. This decis
ion is not expected to be rendered fr
several days and meantime, state de
partment officials say, the lord mayor
will have accomplished the purpose for
which he came to America, that of tes
tifying before the commission.
The commission's announcement to
day said that besides the lord mayor
other witnesses scheduled to appear
when hearings were reopened were
Chairman Dempsey of the I'rban coun
cil of Mallow, Ireland; Peter J. Mac
Swiney, brother of the late lord mayor
of Cork; Emil Peyolt. an American
sailor on the steamer West Canon, on
which O'Callaghan came to this country
and which as at Cork when that
place was burned, and Thomas Nolan,
an Irishman, who witnessed the Croke
park shooting.
Ho is traveling cariole, the others
mushing their treacherous snow drills
011 snowshoes.
When the men arrive at the rail
head here they will be met by town
and Dominion officials and afforded
every courtesy. A special train has
been provided for their convenience.
Mattice is on the tiptoe of expect
ancy for what promises to be the big
gest day in its history. The presence
here of the small army of news writ
ers aud photographers has whet the
natives' curiosity and it is a safe pre
diction that every able-bodied man,
woman and child will be at, the end of
the trail to greet the airmen in the
hearty fashion of The north country5.

VERMONT ELECTORS
HAD LONG CONTEST
And After Six Hours Decided to Send
G. W; McGraw to Washington
With Result of Vermont's
Presidential Vote.
The Vermont presidential electors,
all.; some six hours' session in Mont
pclicr Monday, finally decided to send
(iardiicr W. McGraw of Rutland to
Washington,. D. C., as official messenger
to tell the president of the I nited
States Senate that they -had cast their
votes for Harding and Cool id ge for
president and vice-president, respective
ly-
Mr. McOaw gave s his reasons for
insisting that he have whatever honor
there is in the tra -because he has
worked 25 years for the Republican
party in Rutland county, that he has
been county chairman, that he had
never until now asked anything and
that his opponents were new comers to
the party. Ihev were .Mrs. Lillian
Olzendam of Burlington and Mrs.
Maude Bailey of St. Johnsbury. Sena
tor W. B. MeKillip of Burlington did
not seem to care, for the trip. He was
the fourth elector and the only one who
did not geek to go to Washington.
I he electors convened -at 1 o clock in
the afternoon, knowing that there were
three candidates for the trip. They east
their ballot for the president and vice-
president and perfected their organiza
tion by electing Mrs. Olsietidam as pres
ident of the board of electors and Mr.
McGraw as the -secretary. Then the
balloting to see who would go to
Washington commenced. Nothing was
accomplished for a while; in fact noth
ing during the afternoon, for an ad
journment occurred at 5 o'clock until
7 o clock hi the evening. Ihiring the
course of the afternoon Senator Me-
ICHlip's voice in solo selections was
heard in the main mom of the secre
tary's riffiee as well as in the corridor
of that portion of the building, indi
cating that there was little along the
line of voting taking place.
xhey reconvened at, 7 o clock 111 the
evening and further conferences oc
curred so that, a little after S) o'clock
it was decided to elect Mr. McGraw to
go to Washington, and then it was de
cided to elect Mrs. Olzendam to go to
Burlington to carry the second message
to Judge H. B. H( we of the l'nited
States district court, while Rnwson
Mvrick was delegated to carry the
third message-V the postolliee and gi t
a receipt from the postmaster showing
that, Yl had been properly mailed.
When asked how the last vote stood
one of the men aaid: "Practically unanimous."
