PAN FBAXCIPCO. Feb. 1. SpeclaI.)
What righL If any. had J. H. Farrell.
a secretary of the National Associa
tion of Minor Baseball Leagues, to re
verse the ruling of the association
made at Chicago in the Ou Hetling
case
That Is a question that 1 agitating
the local baseball people, and Judge
Graham, as president' of the Coast
League, proposes to find out whether
such authority wus given to Farrell
by the board of arbitration.
After the meeting of the board of
arbitration In Chicago It was an
nounced that Judge Graham had been
sustained and that the Portland and
Spokane clubs had been cited to show
cause why they should not each be
fined $100. Several weeks ago Port
land dlsratches Indicated that tha Na
tional Commission had reversed the
ruling. This has been discovered to
be Incorrect, as the case never came
before the commission.
It now transpires that Farrell handed
down the decision. Whether he was
empowered by the board to review the
evidence In the case Is not positively
known, although Tip O'Neill, when In
Snn Francisco, said positively as a
member cf the board, that he had
never been asked, for his opinion or
vote, and that personally he was not
aware that Farrell had been given au
thority to take tip what was distinctly
a question for the entire board to re
view. That is the question to be decided.

.More Than 50 Years.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1. President
Taft today approved a plan for the
leasing by the Federal Government of
water power sites on public lands.
The principal points of this plan are
that legislative authority ba sought
for Issuing term leases for periods
not to exceed 0 years; that these
leases contain stipulations to protect
the pubilc against the limitation of
tha output of power through delayed
or partial development and a yearly
rental charge to be based upon the
amount of p wer avnllahle.
It Is prcrposcd that violation of tha
contract condlllon r persistence In
charging consumers a rate declared
excessive by a state Supreme Court
shall be ground for tho cancellation of
the lease.
At the expiration of the lease It Is
proposed to give the lessee a prefer
ence right to renewal unless the Gov
ernment desires to use the property
for pubilc purposes and. provided, the
lessee falls to secure a renewnl either
because the Government desires the
land or because another applicant of
fers better terms, the previous lessee
shall receive compensation for the ac
tual value of Improvement on the
ground or be allowed to remove such
equipment.
