The Peace Con ference as a whole w-ill vote on the question: "Shall the Kaiser be hanged?" That was indicated yesterday when | it became known that the comr.iit- I tee on responsibility of the war had I decided to put the former Emperor's I fate up to the plenary council, they having been unable to agree on what should be done with him. ] France, England and Italy demand ed capital punishment; America and I Japan dissented. | The argument of the United States i was that there was no international ! law sanctioning prosecution of the j heads of States. The Japanese could not approve it because of their theory I of the divine right of Emperors. [ London, April 12.—N0 fewer than thirty varieties of crimes, of which the Kaiser is charged, are enumer | ated in the list by the sub-committee j of the Commission on War Responsi -1 biiity in Paris. These crimes will i blacken the name of Germany and ' her accomplices for many years, j One of the main features is the di- I versity of the charges, reaching out | into every branch of culpability. The list, as received from Paris ' follows: | HI) Massacre of civilians. (2) Putting to death hostages. (3) Torture of civilians. (4) Starvation of civilians. (5) Rape. (6) Abduction of girls and women for purposes of enforced prostitu f tion. (7) Deportation of civilians. (8) Internment of civilians under brutal conditions.

May Abolish High Court of Baseball, Says 'Czar' Johnson Dissolution of the National Baseball Commission, the "Su perme Court," of organized base ball, absolute severance of re lations with ijte National As sociation of Minor Leagues and revision of the players' con tracts, eliminating the ten days' and reserve clauses, will be the probable result of the $240,000 ver dict granted the Baltimore club, of the Federal League, by a jury - in the District of Columbia Su preme Court Saturday. These revolutionary measures to safeguard baseball from all fu ture legal attacks were forecast by Ban Johnson, president of the American League, upon his return ! from Washington. The American and National leagues, together with their club owners, officials and certain officials of the defunct Federal League, were defendants in the $900,000 suit for damages brought under the Sherman Anti- Trust law. President Johnson said that an appeal would be taken to • the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, and if necessary, to the Supreme Court of the United States. "The verdict of course, is a blow to baseball," President Johnson said, "but we are not particularly distressed as it was nothing more than we expected under the cir cumstances. We were bound to appeal no matter what the amount of damages involved were. "We do not want to be charged with operating in restraint of trade: neither do we want the charge of conducting a monopoly hanging over us. We can see a ray of sunshine because of the fact that we can appeal. If the verdict had been brought in our favor, we would have been denied that privilege." While declaring that he did not care to ridicule the verdict or the justice of the court. President Johnson said the attorneys for the Baltimore clubs talked like "Len ine and Trotzky." "You would have thought we were on trial in Russia,' the Amer ican League executive said. "We were charged with all manner of crimes. The attorneys for the plaintiff referred to me as 'Czar' of baseball and gave the Impres sion that we were on the thresh old of a penitentiary. Baseball has been conducted under the present system for forty years and has been persistent in its success of keeping the sport dean and retaining the dignity of the game. If we have been wrong in our operations, then, of course, we want to know about it." What methods the American and National leagues would adopt to govern themselves would be among the early developments. President Johnson said. The leagues would be obliged to con duct their affairs independently and the National Commission would have to be abolished if the verdict is sustained, he said. | which makes her (i tching strcng'h 100 per cent.

Governor Sproul Advises The Buying of Coai Now April 3rd. Hon. Wm. C. Sproul issued a statement declaring "that the action of the producer in announcing a gradual increase of ten cents per ton beginning May 1 is justified."

If widespread labor troubles arise at the coal mines during cold weather, who can measure the value of the coal already in the cellar. United Ice & Coal Co.
