It will in all probability be up to Salt Lake to cast the deeming -vote m to whether the Pacific Coast League, having decided on a 14500 salary limit. will now disregard, or rather abandon, that resolution, and boost the ante to S5000. Henry Berry. San Francisco owner. who returned today after one ot hi: frenuent visits to the Southland, whil refusing to take any decided stand, cer tainly gave the impression that to say the least he does not object to an in' crease. Judge McCredie, of Portland, together with Leavitt and Cook, ol Oakland, are en the side ot no change in the present system of things. Ed Maier, of Vernon, and Johnny Powers, of the Angels, are just as assured in favor of giving; tbelr managers a little more leeway. Berry Sara rle Is for liMgnc Berry might' be the balance wheel but he is i apparently anything but eager to come out in the open and de clare himself. Interviewers who have given Henry the once over as well as the up and down are convinced tna when Berry does vote it will be to string with the Southerners. He leaves you with that impression, even though there is no definite word one way or another. "I am not for myself, but for the best interest of the league." is about as much as Berry will permit himself to ray. "There are a number of things to be considered. W have to give due consideration to the weaker clubs, and on the other hand we must not burden ourselves with a limit that is going to injure any ot the clubs in the league. o far as San Framlsco is concerned, an increase would likely affect us far less than any other team. fit 111, we are willing to abide by the majority rule." With all this mass of conversation and no result. Berry intimates -just between you and me and the gatepost,' that he doesn't believe there will be anv change of heart. He realizes that it takes four votes out of the nix to abrogate the old rule and on with the new. and he is rather inclined to the opinion that Salt LAke will string with Oakland and Portland. Ill Keeling Likely 1e Blue. In many ways the salary limit ques tion Is one that ought not to be raised at this time, baseball men say. And if the new deal goes through, it la aid. there is going to be a lot of trouble in store for managers and their players. Take the Ban Francisco club for example. Wolverton has deter mined what he could afford to pay his men and aet by under the limit. He haa sent out his contracts and made his arguments. Those who have signed and taken their small cuts are bound to feel they have not been justly dealt with. And ao there is bound to be many a sore spot through it all. Berry insists, however, this isn't go ing to make any difference. "Of course, ii's all up to Wolverton." he remarked, "but if I were handling matters, and the league raised the salary limit. I would get another player instead of boosting individual salaries. Our players would be forced to stand these same cuts even at xaouu a montn. Aa it stands, we have been having trou ble in getting under and the additional JS00 a month wouldn't count for so much." It is also likely that the question of even games a week in Portland and i-alt Lake will come up for discussion. Berry admits he doesn't know whether any such scheme ran be worked, but says if it is possible at all, it would have to be with the extra game played on a Saturday morning. 3i chldies fromise to fight Portland Magnates Not to Attend Sfcctlng, but Vote Will Bo There. Neither of the Portland Coast League baseball magnates will - attend the league meeting called for February 14, but they will forward a vote. Our vote will be there." said W. W. McCredie yesterday, somewhat wrath tully. "And Powers and Maier will not pass this $5000 salary limit without knowing they have been in a fight. Xvery time we take a new man into the league he wanta to start something. "Personally. I don't see wKat license those Los Angeles folk have for trying to add to the le.ilr'a expenses without Kiving us any hip her class ball. The Portland club visited Los Angeles six different weeks last season and our total share of the receipts was 170)0. "This didn't pay one-half the ex penses of our club for those weeks." According to Walter McCredie, a tele graphic vote on the question of raising the limit from $4500 to $5000 was taken on Tuesday. It resulted in a tie vote Should another tie vote occur at the Jcague meeting President Baum would have the deciding ballot. POWERS EXPECTS SEW LIMIT Angel Contracts Sent Out on Basis of Monthly Payroll of 95000. LOS ANGELES. Cal., Jan. IS. (Spe cial.) In an effort to give the local fans high-class baseball. John Powers, owner of the Los Angeles club, is tak ing a big chance. Powers is sending out his contracts en the basis or 15000 a month salary. A meeting of the directors will be held Tuesday. February It, at which an at tempt will be made to raise the salary limit. Powers knows that three directors will vote for the $5000 limit, and the thing now is to work President Mur phy, of the Salt Lake club, into line. If the directors refuse to raise the limit Powers will be up against it. The only way he can do is to carry but IT players on the payroll. Harry Wolter is the only member of the Angels signed for next year. Near ly all the new men are players from ttie major leagues who have been draw ing good salaries, and it would be hard to sign them under the $4 0 salary limit plan. OWNERSHIP BY BERRY DENIED Venice and Angel Magnates Say San Franciscan Has No Stock. LOS ANGELES. Cal., Jan. 2. (Spe cial. Declaring W alter McCredie's as rertion that Henry Berry owned part ctf the Vernon club foolish and utterly without foundation. Ham Patterson, manager ot the Tigers, said today that ffe wA.B Berry never had any stock in either the Vernon or Venice clubs. "McCredie must have one ot nis weekly 'peeves. said Patterson. "He should know that Berry is not interested In the Vernon club in the least way. His statements were made because Mr. Maier wants to raise the monthly aalary limit of the Coast League, while the McCredies are op posed to 1L" John Jr. Powers, ot mo Jinscia, laughed at the Portland etory. "You can say that Berry does not own a sin gle share of stock in the Los Angeles club." said Powers. "Practically all the stocK in tna ciud last year was owned by Tom Darmody and myself. Chance has 750 shares now and I have 1600. The rest is scat tered among a half dozen stocKnoia- SALT LAKE OPPOSES INCREASE President Murphy Announces Plrm Stand Against Increase. SALT LAKE. Utah, Jan. 26. (Spe cial.) "Tho Salt Lake club is unalter ably opposed to an increase in the sal ary limit of $4500." emphatically de clared Frank S. Murphy, president of the club, today. "Salt Lake votea witn Oakland and Portland against the prop osition on the telegraphic ballot. Now that a meeting has been called at me stance of the San Francisco, Los Angeles and Vernon clubs for February 1, the question will again come up. "Since the vote stands three to three. it -will be uo to President Baum to cast the deciding vote. Salt Lake hopes the influence which Berry has witn Baum will not be permitted to sway him In this matter, because I am con fident that Baum feels as we do. that uasmuch as we have fixed a limit and the managers of at least three clubs are building their clubs on that basis, we should stick to it" President Murphy also voted against double headers in Salt Lake on Satur day. "It would kill interest," he said. Clarke Waters Get 600,000 Fry. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Jah;-26. (Spe- ciaLI J M. Hoff.

'See America First." said the South ern Pacific, along with -ether railroads that hustle for .business and adver tise.

BOOZE CONTENTION LOST COIRT HOLDS TRANSFER COMPA NIES NOT COMMON CARRIERS. Test Case Is Decided In Favor of Railway Owner Secures Beer by Calling la Person. ' "Common carriers," as considered by the dry amendment, are interpreted, by Circuit Judge Kavanaugh to include railroad, express and steamship companies.- but not local transfer com panies.- The demurrer to the writ of man damus secured by Rudolph Wilhelm, of the Wilhelm Transfer company, to compel the Southern Pacific Company to deliver to him beer consigned to J. P, Hyan, of 65 Ninth street, but routed "via" the transfer company, was sus tained by Judge Kavanaugh yesterday after an all-day hearing. Though the beer in dispute in the case before the court could not be de livered to the transfer company if the mandamus had been upheld, as it had already been turned over directly to the consignee, who called at the railroad office, it was determined to continue with the action started, as a test case. Eight shipments of beer were being held by the Southern Pacific pending the decision of the case, the railroad refusing to turn the beer over to transfer companies by which the con signments were routed. The railroad held that such action would be illegal and the court upheld its stand. Companies engaged in transporting goods between fixed points were held by the court to be the common car riers intended by the dry law. Y. W. C. A.

Cleii stump ar rived in Portland yesterday afternoon from Aberdeen. Wash. They were apprehended in that city Tuesday, after a search beginning last Saturday with the abduction of the youngster, who was a ward of the Ju venile Court. "I want to go to Jail! I want to Be behind the bars!" stormed the pretty divorcee, whose last chance to secure Dossession of the child for whom she has been fighting in Oregon courts for two years probably was ruined by the kidnaping, when Mrs. A. E. cosgrui, head of the home-placing department of the Juvenile Court, offered sym pathy. "I didn't have anything to do with the kidnaping I only followed Mollie to try and shield her from trouble, Stump, the brother, tried to explain to H. M. .Dukes, probation officer. "It was lots fun travelin'," demurely explained little Marian. She stood upon a chair, smiling and chatting with at taches of the Juvenile Court, ail of whom were old. friends of the youngster who has seen much of courts in her brief life. The mother had gone to the women s Quarters of the County Jail. The disposition of the child, planned at the conclusion of the trial January IS. when Judge Cleeton offered the mother another chance, was, Marian was to go to the home of Mrs. L. B. Saxton, at Barton, Or., where she was to have been kept until Mollie Bowers proved to the satisfaction of the court that she could live a straight life. Could she convince the court at the end of reasonable time that she was a- fit person to care for the child, she was to be awarded her daughter. It Is expected that indictments charg ing Mrs. Bowers and Stump with child stealing will be returned by the grand jury today. Meanwhile they are both held in the County Jail in lieu of J1000 bond. The child has not known her mother, as a mother, for long. "Would you like to go hack to Mr. and Mrs. Grant?" Probation Officer Dukes asked Marian. The Grants had the care of the child in Dallas and be came much attached to her. No," she pouted, and stamped her little foot. 'Why not? Weren't, they nice you?" "Ye-es, they re nice. " "Who do you want to go to?" "I wanna go to Mollie Bowers!" As a disguise, Mrs. Bowers took with her last Friday some of her oldest clothes and dressed the child in shabby garments. With permission from the Juvenile . Court officers, Mrs. Bowers appeared at the Frazer Detention Home at 1 o'clock that day and took the child ostensibly to the Courthouse. In- stead she hurried the youngster into a waiting taxi and drove to Vancouver. There she telephoned for her brother to Join her. Frank Thrasher, probation officer, located the runaways in Aberdeen. There the girl had secured housekeep ing rooms and Stump was planning to leave for Portland. The girl threat ened, to fight extradition, but could not secure a lawyer for less than S50 and as she had no money she gave up the idea of fighting. PAROLE BREAKER NABBED Searchers for .
