REFUSE TO HONOR
LONDON, Jan. 10, 12:30 p. m.
Referring to tho statement published
hero today that tho American treas
ury department has refused to Insure
the steamer Dacla, formerly a Ger
man vessel, but now under American
register, tho Westminster Garotte
this afternoon, In an editorial artlclo
says:
"Wo may fairly take this as cvi
donco that the United States recog
nizes tho transfer of tho Dacla as one
which caunot bo accepted silently by
our government. This Is much moro
than a question whether Germany is
to get tho cotton which naturally
enough tho United States wantB to
sell her. If tho Dacla transfer were
permitted, similar transfer might be
mado on nil German ships In Ameri
ca. Tho result of this would bo to
doprivo ub of ono of tho advantages of
sea power to which we believe wo aro
legitimately entitled."

FEDERAL LEAGUE
' ALSO A TRUST
CHICAGO. Jan. 1C Affidavits
charging the Federal League, or at
least Influential members of it with
trying to come within the pale of or
ganized baseball, which tho Federals
now are suln& as a trust, and others
purporting to show that the Federal
League contracts contained the cqul
valants of the ten-day and reserve
clauses criticised, wcro among two
dozen filed today giving the side of
organized baseball.
The proposed terms of peace
which would have resulted, It was
Planned. In th union of the Federals
and their rivals are discussed In an
affidavit filed by Joseph J. Lannln of
the Doston Americans. He relates
that tho Wards, owners of tho Brook
lyn Federals, sought a peace pact un
der which they would have purchased
the New York Americans and Charles
Weeghman of the Chicago Federals
would have taken over the Chicago
Cubs.
nulcs of the clubs are cited by
Stephen Cusack, a former Federal
League umpire to show the existence
of a ten days clause in the usual con
tract and also the reserve rule.
A general nnswor to tho Federal
League's charges Is mado In the af
fidavit signed by August Herrmann
as chairman of the National Commis
sion. OF
SALKM, Ore., Jnn. 1C To prevent
duplication of Investments In certain
location by public utility corporations
is tho purpoEc of a bill proposed by
the stato railroad commlsalon. No
company may, In case of tho enact
ment of such a law, invade tho terri
tory of another and by cutting Into
Its receipts force the company mak
ing the original investment to buy out
the later comer.
Such a law, according Commis
sioner F. J. Miller, is not only not
antagonistic to tho Federal statute
but is favored by tho government in
all casos whoro reasonable restric
tion prevents blackmailing In any
form, or oven useless duplication of
effort, und permits the Investor a
reasonable return on his money. It
will permit tho pooling of Interests,
ko that In case of two roads, ono on
a profitable basis and tho other not
paying, tho latter may draw from tho
former, and a reasonable percentago
of gain bo marked up on tho wholo
system. Ultimately, according to the
commissioners, it is the public that
has tb pay for unwise duplications.
