NEWS OF THE S
PEACE BETWEEN FEDS AND
ORGANIZED BALL SOUGHT
Officials of Eival Factions Gathering in
Chicago and Agreement Is Expect
ed—Bumor Consolidation of Some
Western Clubs
Chicago, April 24.—Emphatic state
ments that no peace negotiations were
going on were made yesterday -bv both
President Gilmore, of the Federal
League, and President Johnson, of the
American, but no explanation for the
gathering here of the big men of base
ball was vouchsafed. Among the lead
ers of the game expected here to-day is
President Tener, of the National
League, and the Federal League mag
nates, who, according to information
gained from sources close to them, will
meet to talk of the ending of the war
are William E. Robertson, of Buffalo,
find Robert B. Ward, of Brooklyn, while
Philip Ball, of St. Louis, and his at
torney, Montague Lyons, of St. Louis,
admitted that they had been in con
ference with President Johnson Thurs
day and yesterday.
The American League head declared
that his meeting with Mr. Ball—the
third in three weeks —had nothing to
do with peace in the baseball world.
"I know of 1,0 peace negotiations,"
Johnson said. "I have met Mr. Ball
a number of times recently, but we
have not discussed any such subject."
"There are no peace negotiations
pending that I know of," Gilmore said.
"We are willing at any time to accept
peace on terms' fair to everybody con
cerned. but we are not seeking it. We
are willing to go on as we are going,
and we expect to get our share of the
patronage."
No definite statements were given
out concerning matters discussed at
meetings yesterday. Mr. Ball, it was
learned, made reservations on a late
train for St. Louis last night.
Stories concerning the terms of peace
discussed, which were credited to Fed
eral League sources, they include
many of the arrangements which were
planned when peace was first talked of
last fall. Merger of several teams and
the elimination of one club in St. Louis
and one in Chicago and perhaps aban
donment of the field as a separate or
ganization by the Federals are includ
ed, it is said.
Paxton Fire Company Has Team
The Paxton Fire Company has or
ganized a baseball team. John Tress
was elected manager and C. Griffley, j
assistant.
The following members of the com- !
panv will appear in the team's line

I HANLEN BROTHERS j
DISTRIBUTORS FOR HARRISBURG
WANT THIS CITY IN LEAGUE
President Boyer, of Blue Bidge Organ
ization, After Harrisburg
and York
Hagerstown, Md., April 24. —As the
result of Hagerstown's decision to come
into the Blue Ridge League, the pros
pects for Harrisburg's and York's rep
resentation in the circuit are materially
brighter. The question of grounds has
been a serious one here and until yes
terday the baseball promoters were in
grave doubt as to whether this city
would have a team.
With the closing of the deal yester
day for a park, however, all fears for
the success of the league are dispelled.
It was believed by every one in touch
with the situation that if the proposi
tion for the grounds, which had been
hanging tire for several weeks, did not
go through, it would spell ruin for the
Blue Ridge organization, and, of course,
1 until this was settled nothing could be
done in the matter of Harrisburg and
York. •
President Boyer announced yesterday
that he would probably call a meeting
of the league officials for next week
and if the formal applications of these
cities have been received by that time
they will be acted upon then. The
Pennsylvania end cf the league—Cham
bersburg, Gettysburg and Hanover—is
in favor of the addition and, it is stat
ed, the baseball men in these towns
are using their influence toward this
end. President Boyer is in communica
tion now with parties in both Harris
burg and York.

Bills Looked For In the Senate
From what can be gathered to-day
from those who have been keeping in

May 13 or May 20, at the latest.
There remain but fourteen working
days if an adjournment is to be had
on the 13th, and nineteen if adjourn
ment is a week later. This would mean
double pressure on all legislative work
and there is much to be accomplished.
With local option out of the way
the House expected to pass almost all
of its appropriation bills this week,
but it was too much to undertake with

"Let's build a church," said one. "Yes, let's," said another clergyman, In reply at a meeting of Presbyterian
pastors in Reading. I'a. And in five days the church was a reality, showing for once an example of where it's easier
done than said. The morning after the Rev. William F. Klein, of the Third Presbyterian Church, went to Philadel
phia and arranged for the erection. Three carpenters did the actual work of construction in thirty-six hours, and this
week the church was used for services. The men in the picture are putting on the la-st section of the roof. Th«

tion rush was deferred until next
week.
In the Senate the child labor, work
men's compensation, full crew and ap
propriation bills will be the work cut
out for the consideration. Then there
are several revenue bills to come over
from the House, and consideration of
all this mass of measures is going to
take time. The Senate, however, is a
swiftly working body, not given to
much talk, and it must be a very im
portant bill to provoke discussion.
The child labor bill may come out
of the Senate committee 011 Monday
night along with the other measures,
including the full crew repealer and
they will very likely provoke a little
talk, but the majority of the Senators |
have made up their minds how they |
are going to vote and will not likely
be moved by discussion.
One revenue bill, that doubling the
automobile license fees, will cause
much debate, and there may be a flare- j
up on the revenue raiser putting a tax |
on coal.
It was intended to pass all of the
appropriation bills in time to give the
Governor ten days to consider them !
Ibefore adjournment, but it will be I
impossible to do this, and the chances |
are that the great bulk of ITie appro- j
priation bills will be left in the Gov- !
ernor's hands and he will have thirty j
days after adjournment in which to 1
take action on them.
