many places that no dredgo would
break Its pipe every fo'w minutes to

Faltl that it would bo a year or moro

Clmriiclorlzlng organled baseball as
the "most audacious and autocratic

Gallagher or llllnals Introduced today
a resolution for an exhaustive Inquiry
by a special committee of congress In
to the operations of the National
Commission and would also direct the
Attorney Goneral to Investigate the
baseball contract system with a view
er Instituting prosecutions for tln
violation or tho Shornian anti-trust
law. Tho resolution would direct
tho Speaker to appoint a special com
mittee or soven to "Investigate tho
operations and prartlces or tlio base
ball trust,' to ascertain whothor un
just illscrimluntlons hnvo been prac
ticed In favor of or ngalnst the play
ers, whether tho players are now or
hnvo beon prejudiced, coerced or re
strained from exorcise of their Just
rights to enter Into a contract or a
fair and equitable nature, whothor
such a combination has been 'af
fected among tho basoball magnates
throughout tho country as would
preclude competition and operate In

the resolution sets forth, because, the
most audacious nnd nrlstocrntle trust
In tlio country Is ono which Is pre

President Wilson, after it confer
ence with the Democratic delegation
of California In congress today decid
ed to I olograph Governor Johnson
n."'1 .,.,:,Hl,,t,v,. 1,lrs In CnllfnrnM
"I'l'cnuug nono ennut nny nnti-niion
land laws In contravention of the
treaty of obligations of Hie United
States with Japan.
rrcHHieni Wilson's telegram was
I - lit.
,".., ,
I speak upon the assumption
which I am sure Is well foundofl
Hint the people of California do not
desire tholr Representntlvps nnd
'"1. their Reireneptiitlves do not
' wish or intenii. in nny clrciimstnnc-
es, to embarrass the government of
tho United States In Its dealings
with a nation with whom It Inn
most- earnestly and cordially sought
to maintain relations of gen line
friendship nnd good will and Hint
they nt least do not desire tr do
! anything that might Impnlr tieaty
obligations or cast a doubt on the
honor nnd good faith or this nation
and Its government.
"I therefore appeal .with tlio ut
most confidence to the people and
Legislature or California to net In
the matter now under consideration
In a manner thnt cannot from any
point of view be fairly c.hnllonged or
called In question, ir they deem It
necessary to exclude all aliens who
have not declared their Intentions
of becoming citizens from tlie priv
ilege or land ownership, they can
do so along lines already followed
In laws In ninny other states ami
of many foreign countries. Includ
ing Japan herself. Insidious dis
crimination will Inevitably draw In
question tlio treaty obligations of
I the I'nlted Slntes. I register my
very earnest, respectful protest
ngalnst a discrimination In this
case, not only hecnuse I deem It my
duty Io do so ns chief exocutlvo
of tlio nation, hut nlso more read
ily hecnuse I believe the people and
Legislature of California will gen
erously respond when the moment
or the matter Is prosontcd to thorn
as n question or nntlonnl policy nnd
national honor. If they have Ig
nored this point of view, It Is I am
sine, because they did not realize
what nud how much wns Involved."
I'resldonf Wilson told Tlio Call
foinla Democratic delegates In Con
gress today thnt be had uo desire
io scum to bo In nny way encroach
ing u poll tlio sovereign lights of
California to legislate as she pleaaod
but thnt lie felt It was his duty to
call the attention of the lenders In
the stnto to tho International ques
tion Involved. Representntlvo Ra
ker told the President that If his
course In appealing to tho Legisla
ture pro veil futile, Its Influence
might ho tho cause of submission or
any law passed to a referendum.
President Wilson is said to bo con
fident that the people of California
ir they had the opportunity to voto
on the measure would not approve
a law which the federal government
pointed out as a violation of treaty
obligations.
