12 BASEBALL PEACE PACT IS EXPECTED TO BE SIGNED SOON-ALL SPORT NEWS PEACE PACT TO END BIG FIGHT Two Year War Between O. B. and Federal League About Over Cincinnati, Ohio. Dec. 22.—Unless obstacles now even undreamed of ap pear on the baseball horizon to-day. a pence treaty organized base ball and the Federal League, one that will bring to an end a two-year war that has proved disastrous to both or ganizations, will be signed here. In a way history is repeating itself, for on September 11, 1903, the na tional agreement which is the ruling law in organized baseball was signed in Cincinnati. Like the agreement in 1903, the • ontrolling body of organized baseball will concede, according to semiofficial advices, much to the newer league that is destined to end its existence, unless all indications fail. No official statement was issued at the conclusion of the meeting of the representatives of organized baseball and the Federal League last night, and, officially, it is only known that ihc Chicago National League club will he sold to Charles Weeghman, presi dent of the Chicago Federal League club, and that the St. Louis Americans will be purchased by Phil Ball, of St. Louis. However, semiofficially, it is known that at present no other changes in Ihe control and management of the other clubs of the National and Ameri can Leagues will take place. Rumors have had Harry Sinclair, of the Federal League, purchasing an in terest in the New York Giants, but this has been emphatically denied. Rumor likewise has said that a major league club would be placed in Balti more but this, too. has been denied for those who are in a position to know. Other than the purchase of the Cubs and the St. Louis Browns, it is semi officially known that the Federal League will respect and carry out all of its existing contracts with the play ers; that all "contract jumpers" which have not otherwise been provided for will be declared free agents, and that the Ward interests in the Federal League will be reimbursed. According to the men who are hold ing the conference here, the only things to be settled are minor details con cerning the International League, and it was said to-day that the Work of straightening out these details would only require a few hours. / N Turkeys jl Xmas 24 Hundred Head At Private Sale 12 Hundred at the Harrisburg ' Stock Yards and 7 Hundred at No. 36 South Fourth street, Harrisburg, at the west end of Mulberry street j bridge; this will be a handy place for everybody to get a Turkey.

Stamm Soon to Name Special Committees on New High School The next step in the movement to solve Harrisburg's High school prob lem will be the appointment of the three committees of the school board which will handle the questions of location, segregation of the sexes and to devise ways and means for plac ing the subject before the people of the city. The appointment of these commit itees was decided upon yesterday aft j ernoon following the Informal con j t'erence of the directors. Another I meeting will be held within a month j or so when reports will be made. Ex- I pert advice will be obtained and in i addition to this advice each of the i three committees will be empowered | to seek the help of an additional com | mittee of five citizens to sound the j public sentiment and suggest ideas for I the best possible solution of the I problem. President A. Carson Stamm was j unable to attend the session yester | day because of the death of a rela i tive. He attended the funeral serv ices this morning and was therefore unable to give the personnel of the committees of directors very careful consideration as yet. He expects to announce the appointments in a few j days. Truly goodness, purity and durabil ity is characteristic in the Becker & Sons' piano. Spangler, Sixth, above Maclay.—Advertisement.

REITERATES ANCONA DEMANDS [Continued From First Page.] I gines had been stopped and when j passengers were still on board. This ] admission alone is. in the view of the i government of the United States, suf- < tlcient to fix upon the commander of the submarine which fired the torpedo . the responsibility for having wilfully violated the recognized law of nations j i and entirely disregarded those humane j f principles which every belligerent | ( should observe in the conduct of war ; at sea. In view of these admitted cir- | cumstances the government of the | United States feels justified in holding j that the details of the sinkins of the ' Ancona. the weight and character of ; the additional testimony corroborating the admiralty's report and the num ber of Americans killed or injured are 1 in no way essential matters of discus- I slon. The culpability of the com- i mander is in any case established, and < the undisputed fact is that citizens of i the United States were killed, injured i or put in jeopardy by his lawless act. t "The rules of international law and the principles of humanity which were ] thus wilfully violated by the com- ] mander of the submarine have been so . long and so universally recognized and are so manifest from the standpoint ] of right and justice that the govern- , ment of the United States does not feel , called upon to debate them and does not understand that the imperial and royal government questions or dis putes them. "The government of the United States therefore finds no other course open to it but to hold the imperial and royal government responsible for the act of its naval commander and to renew the definite but respectful de mands made in its "communication of the 6th of December, 1915. It sin cerely hopes that the foregoing state ment of its position will enable the imperial and royal government to per ceive the justice of these demands and to comply with them in the same spirit of frankness and with the same con cern for the good relations now exist ing between the United States and Austria-Hungary which prompted the government, of the United States to make them." Slush Ice Requires All Nicht Guards at Filter Plant Intake The rusln of slush ice in the Sus quehanna during the last few days has necessitated special vigilance on the part of the water department em ployes to keep the grating at the: mouth of the filtration plant intake from becoming jammed. City Commis sioner Harry F. Bowman, superinten dent of public safety, has stationed several men on the job at night to keep the pipe cleared. "The same condition, I understand, i exists at the York Haven Power eom -1 pany plant down the river," said Mr. Bowman to-day. "That is what has I interfered with the service of the local electric company. The company here) has been installing additional equip ment to overcome this emergency but the new boilers, etc., have not yet been placed. The company is rushing the work but failure of delivery of or improvements somewhat. That is ders for materials has held back the what makes it necessary, I believe, for to the electric company to go slow for a few hours each evening on the distri bution of current. Mr. Bowman is keeping a record of the number of lights that are "dark" each evening in order to check up with the company's bills when the deductions are made. Royalton, Middletown and other towns between here, and York Haven which tap the York Haven lines for service, has been subject to the same diminished service. Gapt. Franz Von Papen Sails For Germany By Associated Press New York, Dec. 22.—Captain Franz Von Papen, Germany's recalled mili tary attache, left New York for Rot terdam to-day on the steamship Noor dam, bearing a safety conduct to Ger many from the entente allies. Depart ing. he issued this final statement to the American people: "In leaving this country, where I have received so many proofs of kind ness and hospitality from Americans and others, I deem it my duty to thank all those who did not permit their friendly personal feelings to be pois oned by the hatred created by the war among the nations."

This would lueave unsopported the German forces now threatening an invasion of Greece. The renewed shelling of Varna has given rise to the belief here that the allied forces withdrawn from Gallipoll Peninsula may be on the way to Salon ica. to reinforce the Franco-British ex pedition. In the event of a Russian in vasion of Bulgaria, the allies, with their superiority In numbers, could calmly await a German drive on Salonica and would at the same time satisfy the de mands Greece made conditional to her co-operation with the allies. On the other hand, the force from the Dardanflles, it Is believed, would enable the Anglo-French troops at Sa lonica to march northeastward Into Bulgaria to cut the Orient Railway line simultaneously with the contemplated Russian attack from the coast. It was announced yesterday that Rus sia had given up the plan to rut through Rumania and attack Bulgaria and that the Russian forces for some time con centrated in Bessarabia had been with drawn.
