w. w. 'HOW BASEBALL STRIKE I STRIKES THE LUNCH MAN PROF. HOOPER WEAK; SPECIALIST CALLED ORGAMZEDBASEBALL DEFEATED IN COURT CALMETTE MURDER IS ACTED IN COURT AT CAILLAUX TRIAL BASEBALL STRIKE AVERTED BY PLAYERS WIN OUT "Well. I see there may be a strike of the baseball players," said the Early Customer, as be called tor crackers and milk.

"All to the mustard," replied the Lunch Counter Man, with a grin, as he swatted a fly that had alighted on the currant pie, without any apparent result It's just about the best thing that could happen, and Is strictly In keeping with the striking record of the Brooklyn team. In fact, strikes have been so common at the ball yard for the past few seasons, that a general strike could hardly be avoided The ball-tossers have been striking one at a time, and now that there is a concerted movement In prospect, all I can think of saying Is Not by several home runs," said the Lunch Counter Man; "why it would be tbe greatest thing that ever hap pened. It would simply throw a lot of puffed-up over-important individ uals into the soup, where they would flounder about for awhile, and finally emerge, ready to eat the humblest kind of pie out of the hands of tbe managers. The whole fact of the matter that baseball, which was formerly necessity in the life of every Amer ican citizen, has become a luxury that only a few of us can afford." But," said the Early Customer, "the game has been Improved, and requires great deal more skill than It used to." "Don't you think a strike right In the middle of the season would do a great deal of harm to our great national pastime?" said the Early Customer as ho brushed the cracker crumbs out of his whiskers. "That's nil beef and beans," said the Lunch Man as ho playfully threw a day before yesterday's doughnut at a telegrapht boy who wus pinching the Icing from the edge of a layer cake; "when you and I wore young, Mnggle, there was nothing sweeter In life than to see a good old game with the Red Stockings of Rldgowood against the White Cnps of Redhook Point.

That was when fellows kept the scores In their beads and no Inning was com plete unless each sldo made two or three runs. Think of the festive occasions when there was a keg of beer at third base and how the players used to risk their necks to got around to the spigot. Those were the days for en thuslnsm; a man didn't have to give up his week's wages to see a gamo and there were plenty of knotholes for small boys and nobody chased the boys who were big enough to climb up and sit on the fence. "If you had left It to my vote, I'd say to the whole baseball gang. 'Go ahead and strike, and when your heads are cooled off, come back and be glad to take wages Instead ofoal- arv.

"What rate of wages do you think thoy ought to get?" asked tho Early Customer. 'Two, acjllars a day, and their board not-fit to lie nlentv." said the Lunch Man. "Of course. If the boys play ex tra well, I'd be in favor of giving them Ice cream for dessert on Wednesdays and Sundays, but. if they served up the kind of ball we've been cettlnc.

they'd have to do without sugar in their tea." SECURITIES BILL READY Goes to Senate Tomorrow I. C. Power Enlarged.

When Rebecca Edelson left the Tombs today for the workhouse on Blackwell's Island she had kept her promise not to eat anything. Warden John Hanley of the Tombs said the regular prison meals had been left In her cell, but the orderly when he went to take away the plates and dishes round the food had not been touched.

Commissioner of Correction Dr. Katherlne B. Davis said today that she believed Reba would change her mind about the hunger strike when she was tempted with the excellent food provided by the new dietary recently adopted for the correctional Institutions under her care. Miss Edelson will be taken before Dr. Anna Hubert this morning," Dr.

Davis sr.ld, "and given a physical examination. She will then be returned to her cell In tho workhouse, where she will be offered the prison fare. She can refuse to eat all she wants, but as soon as Dr. Hubert or the resident phy sician. Dr.

Will Ask for Withdrawal of His Name or Denounce Him in the Senate. The Nassau County Association which Includes In Its membership a score of the wealthiest and most Influential residents of tbe section, among whom are Mrs. August Belmont, Mrs.

Theodore Roosevelt, Frank N. Doubleday, Mrs. Dorothy W. Straight, a sister of Harry Payne Whitney, nnd Clarence H. Mackay, are behind the effort to prevent Harry P.

Keith, the anti-Murphy Democratic State Committeeman from Nassau, becoming the Internal Revenue Collector In Brooklyn. The tight against Keith will be car. rled to Washington tomorrow when a formal protest against the man, whom President Wilson has already nominated will be sent to the White House. Keith was recommended for the place by Congressman Lathrop Brown. HIb nomination, sent to the Senate last week, was hailed as a direct blow at the Tammany organization, Inasmuch as Keith has been persistent In his opposition to Charles F.

Murphy for several years. There were murmurs of a light on the nomination almost as soon as It was announced, but It was not until today that the source of the opposition developed. 'Mils came In an announcement from Frank L. Crocker, a prominent member of the Nassau County Association, that the organization had drawn up a formal protest against Keith's appointment, and would send It direct to President WilBon tomorrow. Coming as It does from an organization representing the wealth and influence of the Nassau County Association, the protest is expected to carry much weight at tbe White House and likely to result in tho withdrawal of Keith's name by President Wilson To bring about this will be the first move of the association.

If thlH Is unsuccessful the fight will be carried Into the Senate committee, which now has tho appointment under advisement, and If no results are obtained there an open nttnek upon Keith Is expected In the Siinnte when tho name nomes up for final confirmation. The protest against Keith's appoint-ment charges him with about all the political and ethical crimes on the cnlendnr, It Is said. He Is not only attacked from the standpoint of his political affiliations and actions, but his personal character is questioned. Tho "political delinquencies," which make up a large part of the protest, rtnal with his connections with certain recent nominations for Supervisor, according to the statement of one rran who hits seen a copy of tho charges, There will be other attacks, tho nature of which those formulating them will not discuss. The Nassau County Association which Is carrying on tho fight against Keith, was organized In 1913, for civic and charitable work In the county, and this Is tho first time It has ap- peared as a potential factor in poll tics.

Its membership Includes most of the wealthy residents of the northern half of Nassau, umong them be Ing: Mrs. Mary Harrlman Rnmsey, J. Sergeant Cram, John A. Albertson, Jullen A. Ripley, Elizabeth H.

Injunction Restraining Hal Chase From Going to Federals Vacated. SYSTEM COMPLETE MONOPOLY. Jnstlce Blssell Calls Organization In Contravention of Common Law.

Buffalo, N. July 21 Organized baseball suffered a legal defeat, today, wben Justice Herbert P. Blssell granted the motion to vacate the Injunction secured by the Chicago American League Baseball Club, re straining Hal Chase from playing with the Buffnlo Federal League Club. The lack of mutual obligation In the so-called ten-day clause of the contract under which Chase was playing with the Chicago tenm, whereby the club could terminate the contract on ten days notice, while the player was bound under several provisions of the "National Agreement," formed the basts of the decision vacating the Injunction. That organized baseball Is a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law wns denied by Justice Blssell, on the ground that he cannot agree that "the business of baseball for profit Is in terstate trade or commerce, and there fore subject to the provisions of the Sherman act." Tho court held, however, that It was a monopoly of the baseball business In contravention of the common law.

Chase was served with Injunction papers June 26, while he was playing with the Buffalo team at tecterai Park. He has been on the bench since. In his affidavit upon which the motion to varate the injunction was based, Chase alleged that he gave the ChiraKO rlub ten days notire of his Intention to leave, at the expiration of whirh time he signed the Buffalo contract. Regarding the ten-dny clause Jus tice Blssell In holding that the injunction was unenforceable, said: 'The plaintiff can terminate the contract at any time on ten days no tice. The defendant Is bound to many obligations under the remarkable provisions of the National Agreement.

The players contract executed in ac cordance 1th its terms, binds him not only for the playing season or six months from April 14 to October 14, but also for another season, if the plaintiff chooses to exercise its option, and If It insists upon the requirement of an option olahse in each succeeding contract, the defendant can ne nolo for a term of years. His only alter native is to abandon his vocation. Can It fairly be claimed that there is ttid-tuallty In suoh a contract? Tho absolute lack of mutuality, both of obligation and of remedy, in this contract, would prevent a court of equity from making It tne basis of equitable relief by Injunction or otherwise. The negative covenant, under such cir cumstances, is without a consideration to support it, and is unenforceable by Injunction." Justice Blssell declared organized baseball as complete a monopoly of the baseball business for profit as any monoply can be made. "It is In contravention of the common law," he said, "in that it Invades the right to contract as a property right; and in that it Is a combination to restrain and control the exercise of a profession or calling.

The injunction was vacated with $10 costs to the defendant. Indianapolis, July 21 "This In deed Is a victory and one which means a great deal to the players who have for years been tied up to the national agreement and restrained in their free right of contract," said Edward K. Gates, general counsel of tho Federal League. "This decision Is by far the most far reaching that has been decided against organized baseball. We feel that this opens up tho field for tho ball players, and will enable tho Federal league to engage In hon est and fair competition with those who have monopolized the field for so many years.

It will result in great and much needed reforms in the na tlonnl game." GAG WOMAN; GET $638 Men Are Caught and Police Say They Recovered Loot. Mrs. Mary Valano, proprietor of a. small fruit store at 254 Third avenue, was about to open the place for business early today, when two men en tered the place with a request for the price of oranges.

What promised to he the most disastrous baseball war since the days of the old Brotherhood, nwny back In 1890, has been averted nt tbe eleventh hour by the president of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, Charles II. Fhbets. Just when It seemed that nothing could stop a strike of the players, and the magnates were tilled with anxiety, Mr. Ebbets settled the whole thing on his own initiative. He agreed to restore Clarence Kraft, (he first baseman.

wno was tho nub of the whole controversy, to the Newark Club of tho International League nnd to nav the Nashville Club of the Sunt horn Associ ation $2,500 on the transaction. The Daselmll Players had won a distinct victory over the owners. Kraft was originally drafted from the Nashville flub for Now the Nashville club Is In a clear $1,000 und the players have gained what they asKsd In the Kraft case. Mr. Ebbets said that he had taken the action to avoid a baseball war, and that It was too small a matter to tight about.

"So tbe National League has quit, has It?" asked one reporter when ha heard of tho decision of Mr. Ebbets. "Don't put It that way," replied the Hrooklyn club president sharply. 'You may suy that I quit If you feel bo disposed. You may even say that I lay down and rolled over," and bo laughed.

"The National League had nothing to do with It. I decided It myself." The much shifted Kraft has been Idle for nearly a month. Ho refused lo go to tho Nashville Club beeause It he played with that team he wouM have to accept less per moot a than the Newark Club would pay him. Mr. Ebbets says that Kraft will not lose a penny that ho will get every nickel that Is coming to him.

Ebbets' Decision Clinic as Relict to Club Owners. Thn words of Mr. Ebbels fell like a. welcome shower on a parched tield. The situation seemed very ominous when the Amerlcnn League owners mot at tho Hotel Wolcofl, Thlrty-drat street and Fifth avenue, Manhattan, today, to take up tho demands of the players.

Mr. Ebbets appeared thorn suddenly, when everyone was wondering how the threatened strike would ho averted, and was nt iim-fi surrounded hby reporters. Ho said that, he had reached Ins decision concerning Kraft without the advice of any club owner: that he, antl he alone, wns responsible for the move. "Kraft is a good hall player and ti, clean young fellow," be said. "He Is a credit to the profession.

Ho has been In Newark conditioning himself and will be ready to piny ball when he reports to Manager Smilh at Providence tomorrow. 1 saw Kraft on Sunday nnd told him to hold himself In readiness lo report to the Newark club. "It was very small matt and the action I have taken was the best way of straightening It out. I don't believe in strikes. It anybody has laid down I am tile man I am i tr.oi one.

Some people think that brought this trouble about myself. Well, I am willing to accept the lilainc. 1 can stand it." Mr. Ebli'ts sal. I thai he had not attended any meeting, lull that he had talked with Hon Johnson about Ilia decision "Johnson did not sugjest tho move in any way," ho said.

Henrietta was up at 7 this morning preparing for the second day's hearing of the charge against her of the wilful murder, on March 1 6, of Gaston Calmette. editor of tho Figaro. The wife of the former Premier und Minister of Finance took an early breakfast, and before 8 o'clock was waiting for her husband, who. however, did not call at the prison of the Conciergerie until nearly 10 o'clock. The prisoner and her husband conversed for half an hour, and afterward she lunched.

"I feel better than I did yesterday," Mme. Calllaux said to the solicitous prison 'Warden when he inquired about her health. The prisoner had previously looked through a mass of morning papers and had found that generally she had been sympathetically treated. The stenographic report of her testimony filled sixteen columns in some of the newspapers, and besides this there were many appreciations of her dexterous arrangement of facts and of the feeling she had put into her descriptions of her agony. Prisoner Shows Signs of Mental Strain.

The court was a little late in assembling today, and meanwhile Mme. Calllaux talked over her case with Fernand Labori, ber advocate, in a private waiting room. After Judge Louis Albanel and his associates bad taken their places on the bench, Mme. Caillaux entered the prisoners' incinsure without hesitation, and with an air of making herself at home. She was dressed precisely as she had been on the tirst day of the trial.

She took off and foided ber jacket and looked quietly around at the crowded court. Dark circles under her eyes and her quick, nervous gestures, however, seemed to betray the strain she was undergoing. Joseph Caillaux, the prisoner's husband, then entered the court and took his place among the witnesses. He was accompanied by two detectives, owing to the fact that a group of bystanders had hooted him and shouted insults at him ns he left the prison after visiting his wife. Two office boys from the Figaro were the first witnesses today.

Thoy described the arrival at the offices of the Figaro, on the day of the crime, of Mme. Calllaux. They told how she waited, and gave details of her entrance Into the room occupied by Gaston Calmette and of their bearing shots. One of the boys, Adrien Nicet, crouched down on the witness stand and uttered a series of low cries to show how he had found M. Calmette sheltering himself behind his desk.

Pnul Hom-gct a Witness. Paul Bourget, the "immortal" who was with Calmette in his ofhee at the mo ment when Mme. Caillaux's card wns brought In. then told the jury of the incident. "You will not see her." I suld.

'I cannot refuse to receive a woman." he replied." Maitre Labori then thrilled the overcrowded courtroom by reading a dia logue from Hourget novel, "The Do-mon of the Midi," in which the char. ncters discuss and condemn the publication of the heroine's love ietters. Coming immediately after M. Bour-get'a eulogy of (inston Calmette, with which he had closed his testimony, the reading of the dialogue by Maitre Labori was regarded by observing lawyers as a master stroke. Maitre Laborl's voice was musical and full of dramatic feeling.

When he had concluded, Paul Bourget remarked: "Literature is not life." He agreed, however, that private letters ought not to be published, and snld he did not believe Calmette had Intended to publish tho Cailiaux letters. figaro Employees Re-enact Tragedy In the Newspaper Olliec. The scene of the shooting was then re-enacted by a succession of employees of the Figaro. Charles Girardeau, a reporter. Henri Rouleau, a messenger, nnd Jean Cer-cle, a telephone operator, related portions of their experiences.

They said Louis Volsln of the advertising department, was talking with Henri Honore, an artist, and Edouard Masson, In the room where Mme. Calllaux was waiting to ace M. Calmette. "We never mentioned Caillaux," said Volsln, "as said yesterday." Mmi ClilUux here Interposed, saying. "I wish to ask M.

Honore was then called and denied that Caillaux had been mentioned, while Maasnn's deposition was read In the samo effect. Witness Gives Vivid Description of Actual Shooting of Cnlnulte.

Other members of the staff of the Figaro then test! lied, among them Louis Latrnrus. who gave a vivid description of the scene when Mme. Calllaux shot Calmette. Latzarus said he heard shots nnd ran to Calmctte's room, where Colmette had sunk in a stnte of collapse In rhnlr. M.

BROOKLYN NEEDS CLEANERS Fewer "White Wings" Here Than Any Other City, Says Mauro.

"In proportion to Its population and area, Brooklyn has probably fewer men to clean Its streets than any other Important city In the world," declared Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner Charles Mauro yesterday. Brooklyn's new street cleaning commissioner is completing plans to clean the streets of this borough as they were never cleaned before, and as a preliminary step be has asked the Board of Estimate to grant him an appropriation to furnish 8,000 more rubbish cans to place at the various atreet corners in the borough. Commissioner Mauro also hopes to be able to Increase the number of ash and garbage collections. A request for 100 additional men 60 drivers and 40 sweepers has been Included In this year's budget. The Brooklyn commissioner Is also In favor of having a regulation passed requiring all householders to keep their ash cans covered.

POLICEMAN CONE AGAIN Patrlman Edward F. Smith Cannot Be Found. Patrolman Edward F. Smith of the Parkville station, who has wandered off from duty once or twice before, Is missing again, and since early In the morning of July 2 he has not been seen or beard from. The policeman who has sought retirement from the force a number of times without suc cess, lives at 1130 44th street, but he has sent no word there as to his whereabouts.

While attached to the department in Manhattan, Smith was given a beating with blackjacks by thugs, he was hit on the head by falling wood at a tire, and was bitten by a mad dog. These experiences left him subject to serious tits of dizziness and the first time he disappeared was just after he had been taken to the Norwegian Hospital suffering in that way. He had been discharged from the institution, but afler wandering about the streets for some time, he suddenly left the city.
