THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1914. 9 OUTLAWS THREATEN PBOELI FIOH T Gilmore Warns Major Heads to Keep Hands Off Players Signed by Federals. HIGH BIDDING GAME HINTED .New- Organization Has Unlimited Cash and AVill Make Raids on Kival Clubs and Go to Courts if War Continues, Is Edict. CHICAGO, March 3. The greatest war o baseball history was threatened by President Gilmore, of the Federal League, today as the result of reports that the American and National Leagues were proselyting among the Federals' players. News that Pitcher Blanding has rejoined the Cleveland Americans after having signed a Fed eral contract forced President Gilmore to take action. Besides Blanding, Kllllfer, Williams and Baumgardner are players who, the Federals contend. have violated contracts with the new league. "If our contracts are no good, their contracts are no good, and a player can disregard a contract with a club in organized ball as easily as he can ours," said Mr. Gilmore. "Therefore, if the National and American League clubs are trying to take our signed men away from us we will take theirs away. Federals May Bid Hish. "We have unlimited cash and the united support of all our clubowners and backers. We can bid as high for the players as anybody. . "Up to this time we have played fair with our rivals. We gave up Cole, de spite his having signed with the Chi cago club, when we believed that the courts would have awarded him to us. VVe signed Killifer and Blanding in good faith and advanced money to them. In a telegram addressed to John K. Tener, president of the National League. and to Ban B. Johnson, head of the American League. President Gilmore, of the Federals, threw down the chal lenge which may result in another baseball war. The message read: "John K. Tener, Ban B. Johnson In disputable evidence tells us that some of your clubs are endeavoring to sign Federal League contract players. If you do not stop such methods imme diately, we will withdraw our policy of fair play and give you a battle at your own game. "JAMES A. GILMORE. Gilmore Wnts Hay Collins. Negotiations were begun, it was said today, between President Gilmore and Kay Collins, the Boston American pitcher, . whom Gilmore wants. Dick j'-.gan. tne Cincinnati player, it was learned today, is the eighth of the world tourists sought by the Federals. The lineup of the Chicago Fed erals, the first to be given out. was announced today by Manager Tinker, Tinker said he was satis fied that the team will be a pen nant contender, as he has four swift men, Jackson, who led the Northwest ern League In stolen bases last year; Cad Coles, who led the New York State League batters and stole 25 bases; Max Flack, who hit for an average of .352 and stole 42 bases in the Three-I League, and John Muncie, a 10-second man, who played with the University of Minnesota team last season. Seaton to Train With Tinker. Ad Brennan and Claude Hendrix will do the heavy work of the pitching staff. The Chicago team old not get Seaton, though he will go South with Tinker's men to begin training. Later he will join Brooklyn. The lineup, with the name of the team with which each man played last year, follows: Pitchers Ad Brennan, Philadelphia Nationals; Claude Hendrix, Pittsburg; Tom McGuire, Chicago Federals; Irwin, Lang, local semi-professional, and Leo Prendergast, Peoria.

The theatrical manager was exon erated from all responsibility In the matter. ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 3. Mordecai Brown, manager of the St. Louis Fed eral League baseball team, and Walter Fritsch, financial agent for the local club, departed for New York today to greet the world tourist baseball teams Friday. Brown, it is understood, plans to sign Lee Magee and Ivey Wingo members of the St. Louis Nationals, who made the world's tour with the New York Nationals. NEW YORK, - March 3. The New York National club received word to day from President Hempstead, in Marlin, Texas, that Fred Snodgrass, center fielder of the club, had signed a three-year contract with the Giants. Snodgrass was dissatisfied with the first contract the New York club sent him and was considering a Federal League offer. England's White Hope Beaten. LONDON.

Blake, previous to tonight's light, had never been defeated, and was regarded by many persons as England's "white hope" for winning the world's heavyweight championship. Blake was 28 pounds lighter than Wells. Leach Is Captain or Cubs. TAMPA. Fla., March 3. Outfielder Tommy Leach will be the captain of the Chicago National ball club this year, according to an announcement today. Leach acted as captain last year when Johnny Evers was absent. GEORGE SAND HEIR WINS Posthumous Libel Case Decided Favor Novelist's Grandchild. in PARIS, March 2. (Special.) A cu rious case of posthumous libel con- AUTO GAS BRINGS FAINT New Danger Revealed in Riding In Closed Vehicles. PARIS, March 2. (Special.) A new danger to motorists Is revealed by the experience of a Paris merchant who the other day hired a car and made an excursion with his wife and daugh ter and two friends to Idargency, in the department of the Eure. On arriving at Puteaux on the re turn journey the chauffeur stopped the car and turned around to receive or ders as to the subsequent route, but what was his astonishment to find that all five occupants of the car had fainted. Calling a policeman to his help, the unconscious motorists were taken to a neighboring chemist's shop, where restoratives were administered. The question then arose as to how asphyxia tion had been caused, and it was found that deleterious gases had penetrated through chinks in the floor until they had collected in sufficient quantities to overpower the travelers. It would seem from this that a certain amount of danger is involved to motorists in trav eling with the windows closed. ARTISTS CHANGE METHODS Subject Goes Once, Then Model, Dis guised, Does Sitting Task. PARIS. March 2. (Special.) A revo lution in the methods of portrait paint ing has lately been effected in Paris. The custom was formerly that a person whose portrait was being painted should go to the artist's studio two or three times a week and give sittings often lasting an hour. Under the new methods, which have been revealed in a lawsuit between a distinguished French portrait artist and a client, the sittter, if a woman, goes once to the studio for a rough sketch to be made of the face and for her figure to be measured. She then sends to the artist the dress in which she wishes to be painted, her shoes, her jewels, her favorite armchair and her lapdog. A lay figure of the same size and tiuild as the model is then pre pared. The subject only attends once more for the final touches to be put to the painting. SLIT SKIRTS ARE POPULAR Budapest Women Will Obey . Mod istes, but Not Field Marshal. BUDAPEST, March 2. In consequence of the order issued by Field Marshal Feteke, the commander of the garrison here, that women would not be allowed to appear in slit skirts at any functions of the Officers Corps, all the women who had been invited to a military ball at the Casino refused to attend. The ball had to be postponed. The women declare that they will not attend any military balls so long as the order of Field Marshal Feteke stands. One indignant woman said in an interview: "We obey the commands imposed by the Paris and Budapest modistes, but we will not obey the commander of a garrison. Besides, we like slit skirts. Moreover, we have bought our gowns and cannot afford fresh ones every day like the wives of Generals." HUSBAND LURE IS FOUND Midinottes of Paris Organize. Mixed Club as Step. PARIS. March 2. (Special.) The midioettes of the famous dressmaking establishments of the Rue de la Paix have devised an ingenious plan for finding husbands. They have founded a mixed club called the Trente et Quarante (30 and 40). It consists of 15 girls and 15 young men, with 10 addi tional honorary members. The number of young men members is strictly lim ited to 15. The result has been fierce competi tion among many of the most eligible young bachelors of Paris. A well- known barrister, a rising young author. famous sportsman, all men of con siderable means, are already elected. GIRL GONE; FATHER SEEKS Anatone Miss Mysteriously Disap pears From School Grounds. CLARKTON, Wash., March 3. (Spe cial.) Mr. Pinkstone, of Anatone, passed the day here searching for his 14-year-old daughter, Gladys, who dis appeared from the school grounds yes terday just as school was called. She had been staying with her brother and sister and - had been In school about a week. Hobo Is Fined $25. TOLEDO. Or., March 3. (Special.)-' A hobo, who has been touring In Lin coln County, broke in a residence near Chitwood, owned by James Wlnskill, and was fined $25 in the Justice Court. His finances being depleted, he will remain in the Toledo jail until justice Is satisfied. Groceries Go by Parcel Post. ASHLAND. Or., March 3. (Special.) For the week ended February 28, one grocery firm of this city. Holmes Bros., sent 400 pounds of goods by parcel post. This is the record ship ment from the local office since the new system went into effect. Ruling on Game Laws Given. SALEM. Or., March 3. (Special.)

We are not surprised. Any four-eylmdor ear selling for laore than $1800 certainly needs de fense. - Whenever a tight shoo pinches, tho wearer makes a wry face. And high-priced, four-cylinder shoes are pinching a number of feet pretty hard this season. Let us examine the real situation of "Six" vs. "Four." Three years ago there were eleven builders of "Sixes" in the United States. Last year twenty five companies produced "Sixes." In 1914 thirty-seven of the forty-two leading manufac turers of motor cars build "Sixes." Can such development be due to a fad or whim, as the builders of high-priced "fours" say? High-Priced Car Builders Found the "Six" Superior. Seven years ago the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Company built "fours" only "fours" that were above reproach. Six years ago they added "Sixes" because the "Six" was demanded by those who wanted the utmost in a motor car. For five years the Pierce-Arrow has been building "Sixes" only. Not because- the Pierce-Arrow "four" was not good, but because the "Six" was proved better. ' For years the - Packard Motor Car Company built only "fours." Today Packard cars are built in "Sixes" exclusively. Not because the Packard "four" was not good; for there were no better "fours." But because Packard engineers and Packard owners found the "Six" mechan ically superior to the "four" and the Packard Company had the courage to build the car which was proved best. The Peerless Company abandoned "fours" for "Sixes" exclusively, because those who paid Peer less prices demanded the superior smoothness, flexibility, and silence of the "Six." Seven years ago the Winton Company pre dicted the growth and popularity of the "Six." Since 1908 Winton cars have been built in "Sixes" only, because Winton found the "Six" superior to the "four." Public Demand Forced the Development of the "Six." The admitted mechanical superiority of the "Six" over the "four" and the demand for this superiority on the part of those who are willing to pay any price for motor car luxury, forced these builders of high-priced cars into the six cylinder field. Practically all successful builders of "fours," such as Locomobile, Packard, Pierce - Arrow, Stevens-Duryea, Winton, Peerless, Buick, Hudson, Oldsmobile, Marmon, White, Studebaker and Oak land, have been forced into the six-cylinder field. None of these companies changed their designs or spent thousands and thousands of dollars for new machinery and to market new types of cars. Through sheer merit the "Six" has conquered. Practically every well-known company this year building a car of $1250 or over, except one, builds "Sixes." Is it possible that all of these admittedly sue- VS. eessful companies are wrong 1 Isn't it logical to suppose that the majority is right ? Is it reasonable to suppose that .the one com pany which diBseats should be right against such overwhelming evidence f Pretty nearly all present owners of "Sixes" have at Bome time been owners of "fours." Ask them which is tho better car "Six" or "four." Did you ever know of a driver of a "Six" to go back to a "four" of equal prico! Drivers of "Sixes" will tell you that tbero is somothing inherent in a "Six" that makes it better than a "four," just as there is something inherent in a thoroughbred that makes him bet ter thnn a horso of common blood. Outside of the companies that have over-priced "fours" to sell the little talk there is against the "Six" comes from people who never rode in a "Six." To all such we say ride 50 or 100 miles in any good "Six," not only the Chalmers, but any good "Six." Until you have made such a test reserve judgment." We have no doubt of your judgment if you will only take the ride. Don't Buy a Near "Six" When You Can Get a Real "Six." The best known builder of high-priced "fours" this year admits the superiority of the "Six" by using a mechanism which it is claimed will give to the "four" some of the recognized superior qualities of the "Six." How con sistent of those with "fours" to sell, to decry "Sixes" in one breath and in the next tell you they have a device that makes a "Six" of their car nearly! The superiority of a "Six" over a "four" exists in the motor and can be obtained only through the motor. It can't be obtained through the transmission or rear axle. The last resort of the four-cylinder advocate is that the "four" is more economical than the "Six." Positively, It la not. It costs less to drive a Chalmers Master "Six" 5,000 or 20,000 miles, than to drive a "four" of equal size and power the same distance. We have had in the Chalmers factory every well known "four" of $1800 or over. We have run them side by side with the Chalmers "Sixes" and here is what we have learned: Because of its steady, uninterrupted flow of power the "Six" is easier on tires and easier on every moving part than a "four." The most prominent "four" in the same price class as the Chalmers "Six" has less power and weighs nore. In the Chalmers the labor of moving that weight is divided among six Cylinders: im the "four" each cylinder does more work because of the greater weight carried by four cylinders. Don't you see that in the "four" each cylinder must be doing more work all the time? In other words, the four-cylinder motor is forced to work at full capacity more of the time than the "Six." It is always working harder than the "Six" and that means shorter life. "But a 'Six' burns more gasoline," say four-cylinder builders. Again we say, that is not true. For any considerable distance the Chalmers Master "Six" can be run on as little gasoline as any "four" of equal motor displacement and with equal car size. This is not merely an advertising claim. ,We have proved this by actual tests. Power and Performance Considered, "Six" Is More Economical Than "Four." The fallacious statement that, the "Six" bums more gasoline than a "four" originated in the fact that in the past four-cylinder cars were compared with six-cylinder cars of nearly twice as much power. Compared on an equal footing, as to power and car size, the economy argument is all in favor of the "Six." While six-cylinder builders are working toward greater fuel economy all the time, builders of "fours" are going the other way. The Chalmers Master "Six," for Instance, has only a 4-ln. bore and a 5 -in. stroke. A few years ago six-cylinder cars of equal power had bores of 4-in. to 6-ln. In the Chalmers Master "Light Six," which sells for $1800, the motor is even smaller only 3-in. bore. Vet this motor has developed 53 h. p. All engineers admit that small bore and long stroke make for greater "F OOFS 99 fuel economy, Be builders of "EIxm" are at least on tile right trach, leur-cyllndes' deeigneri, en tha other hand, are forced ttnstantty . It) increase tUa size of tholr motors to get eneugU power adequately to handle cars of Increasingly greate? Weight, The htah-prtced "four" grows each season to be more Wtravagant in fuel; while tho well-built "Six" becomes mere economical. A leading builder of high priced "fours" is now an nouncing through the newspapers that he "has no inten tion of bulldfnsr a Six." We believe this must be a, welcome announcement to a great many intending buyers who had already finally made up their minds to buy a "Six" and had, perhaps, been wondering whether this particular manufacturer would build one. . Now they have only to pick out the best "Six." They need no longer hesitate, anticipating that this particular builder may produce a "Six." Such statements of policy do tnuoh to clarify the public understanding of the moto car situation. Chalmers Policy Is to Build Best Cars Possible at Chalmers Prices. As In the past, our policy shall always be to build the most efficient, most up-to-date quality cars to sell at medium prices. We shall change the design of Chalmers cars whenever adherence to that policy shall make changes necessary. We are proud of the changes we have made in Chalmers cars. For all progress Is change. To keep pace with the advance of science it is necessary to change. Every change we have ever made has given our customers higher value, more comfort, greater . safety and more beauty In Chalmers cars. We always build the best cars human ingenuity, pains taking workmanship, and fine materials can produce to sell at Chalmers jrices. We introduce new and good things as they are discovered, and proved worth while. It is in pursuance of this policy of advancement that having proved the "Six" superior to the "four." we are concentrating the production of Chalmers factory on "Sixes." We predict that within two years all cars selling above $1500 will be "Sixes." Even those who now decry the "Six" will be building "Sixes" within two years or building a "four" at a great reduction from their present prices. Cars selling above $1500 belong to the six-cylinder field as much as the cars selling below $1000 belong to the four-cylinder field. It is just as Impossible to stop the trend toward six cylinder cars as it would be to dam the Niagara Falls. One builder of "fours" in the $2000 class claims more sales of his car than all makes of "Sixes" combined. This is positively exaggeration. There are being sold today three times as many "Sixes" as "fours" at $1500 or over. Crying: against the "Six" won't stop it it only increases the desire for an investigation and a comparison of the relative merits of "fours" and "Sixes." That Is all that we as manufacturers of "Sixes" ask. When You Buy a "Six" You Get the New est Style and Best Investment. Why sink money in a car already out of style and bound to become more so each day? When you buy a "Six" you buy on a rising market. When you buy a "four" you buy on a declining market. . Our proposition is simple. We say, ride in "fours" and ride in "Sixes." Ask your friends who have "Sixes" if they would go back to "fours." We are sure you will want a "Six" after making such a test. And having reached that conclusion we ask you to then take the Chalmers Road Test. After this we are sure your purchase will be a Chalmers Master "Six." We invite comparison, with even tho highest priced cars. Any Chalmers dealer will give you the Chalmers Standard Road Test. It Is proof positive of every claim we make. Judged by the measure of this rigid test, we know that no car within $500 of the Chalmers price can even approach the Master "S'x" in power, quietness, absence of vibration, flexibility, comfort, beauty, con venience and luxury. That Is a sweeping claim. But it will cost you nothing to prove to yourself that we are right. Don't buy any car until you have done yourself and us the justice of investigating the Chalmers Master "Sixes."

REPUBLICANS ALSO TO HELP Democrats Say It Is Useless to Try to Change Views of President on Repeal of Exemption Clause In Measure. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 3. It is aparent that the Democratic ateam roller Is to be brought Into play to compel Congress to pass the bill repealing the exemp tion clause of the Panama Canal act President Wilson is determined to sur render to Great Britain on this issue, notwithstanding the fact that some of the biggest men in his own party in Congress disagree with him and con tend that American coastwise ships Bhould be permitted to pass through th() canal without paying tolls. One by one the President has sum moned these Democrats to the White House and made it plain that he will insist on the repeal of the exemption clause. He has refused to yield to the persuasion of those who take Issue with him and has given the order that repeal must go through. Author of Bill Changes. Already Representative Adamson, of Georgia, a Democrat and author of the bill which gave American coastwise ships free passage through the canal, has drawn a bill repealing the law which bears his name, and Representa tive Underwood, Democratic floor lead er, who differs with the President on this question, has agreed to- place no obstacle in the path of the Administra tion. This means that the big Demo cratic majority in the House will be forced into line to undo the work which another Democratic majority in the last House did with the aid of a Re publican President and a Republican Senate. Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon; Senator O'Gorman, of New York; Sena tor Kern, of Indiana, and other promi nent Democrats in the Senate say or Indicate that they will not line up with the President on the question of Pana ma tolls. A Democratic caucus undoubtedly will be called, and if a half dozen Dem ocrats refuse to go into the caucus there will be more than a half dozen Republicans, led by Senator Root, of New York, who will vote with the ma jority of. the Democrats and with the President. Those Democrats in Congress who think the President is wrong on this question admit frankly that it is use less to try to change Mr. Wilson's views and also admit the futility of trying to prevent the repeal of the exemption clause. There is so much patronage yet to be distributed that most Democrats are unwilling publicly to differ with the Chief Executive, and this means that steam roller methods, with Presi dent Wilson running the steam roller, will continue to be successful in Congress.

Since Arrest Hermit Has Shown Jio Disposition to Harm Those Who He Had Often Threatened. ALBANY, Or.. March 3. (Special.) Mild and harmless. Calavan Neal, the man who terrorized the neighborhood in Jordan Valley for several days, and, barricaded in his cabin, for 36 hours held off officers who sought to arrest him, sat In the County Court room here today while County Judge Mc Knight and Dr. W. R. Shlnn conducted an examination as to his sanity. He was committed to the State Insane Hospital at Salem and was taken there this afternoon. It required the work of four men to place handcuffs on him when he w-as overpowered at his cabin, 12 miles east of Scio, Saturday afternoon, but from that time since Neal has not made the slightest move to harm anyone. His whole course of action changed the moment he was arrested. He was kept in irons until Sunday, when he became ill at Scio. The hand, cuffs were taken off him then and have been kept off ever since. Neal not only has not sought to fight, but sits silently and without moving hour after hour. Since his arrest he has not asked for anything to eat, though, he has eaten all food furnished him, nor has he even asked for a. drink, but has seemed eager for water when brought to him. He has not made a single re quest of any kind since his arrest. He is said to have threatened the lives of several of his relatives and friends In the past three weeks and twice hurled rocks at the head .of his brother-in-law, Fred Pepperllng, when he went to Neal's cabin to see if the latter was in need of supplies of any kind. AUSTRALIA SEEKS WOMEN Not So Much for Marriage as Domes tic 'Servants Are They Wanted. LONDON, March 2 The lons-cher- 1 ished theory that the world's surplus feminine population could be married off if it could be persuaded to migrate to the Antipodes, is not borne out In a report of the Dominion's Royal Com mission upon the demand for women In Australlu. Women are wanted badly In the great island continent, but not so much for marriage as for domestic servants. So great 4 the demand, according to report, that many of the girls sailing from England have been engaged by wireless as cooks and servants In Aus tralian households before their steam er reached port. In some cases men have been so hard up for cooks that they have gone out in tugs to meet incoming vessels to make sure that they have the first pick of girls seek ing employment. The first few days following the landing of the immi grants resembles an old hiring fair. The employers besiege the labor bu reau In hundreds, and in a short time every newcomer desiring domestic work is pretty certain to have secured a situation at wages more than double the sum which she could command in England. The commission learned of com plaints that the scarcity of servants in Australia involves such a burden on housewives that it was affecting seri ously their health, and even acting as a check upon the much desired increase cf the population.
