National League President
Accuses American of Violat
a ing Agreement; Refuses
to Act on Commission.
New York, July 9. The imbroglio
between the American and National
.' leagues regarding the status of Tlaycr
Scott Pefry flamed afresh today,
when John K. Tener, president of the
National league, notified his club own
ers that he would have no further
dealings with" the National commis
sion, of which he is a member.
This announcement verges danger
ously nnen a declaration of war be
tween the major organizations, as the
national commission rules specifically
state that? , the presidents of the two
. leagues shall be members of the com
mission and the National league con
stitution makes no provision for any
thet representative.
President Tener's letter, addressed
to each of the club presidents of the
senior league, charges the American
league with a violation of the national
agreement. ,
. s ' President Tener'a Letter.
President Tener's letter to the Na
tional league club presidents read:
"On the 12th of last month the
National commission, after careful
consideration of all evidence, made
decision in what is known as the
Scott Perry case, and with which you
are familiar, resulting in the award
ing of that player to the Boston club
of this league.
As soon as the president of the
American league had knowledge of
the finding, be advised the commis
sion as follows: 'Under no circum
stances or conditions will Perry be
turned over to the Boston club.'
, Shortly thereafter the Philadelphia
club of the American league took the
case to the courts of Cleveland and
' asked for and received an-order re
straining the commission from put
ting its decision into effect and se
ting the date of July- 20 for a final
hearing of the case.
"Under the terms of the national
agreement the ruling in any case
brought before it in which it has
, jurisdiction is final.
, "Scraps of Paper."
"The case above referred to is prob
ably the first instance where a major
league club has violated its agree
ment in base ball law by appealing
. the decision of the commission to
' the civil courts.
"In my opinion, the defiance of our
laws by the Philadelphia club of the
American league constitutes such a
breach of the agreement and -good
. faith that this league can no longer,
with honor, continue its representa
tive on the national commission. I
beg leave, therefore, to advise you
that hereafter I will give no attention
or consideration to any cases sub
mitted to which the American league
, is a party. We cannot continue to
maintain our honor and self-respect
by dealing with those who consider
our agreements and, base ball law as
mere 'scraps of paper.'
"Base ball finds itself with regard to
. its business in an unfortunate posi
tion, due to war conditions; never
the less it is most important to keep
. our house in order so that when busi
ness is adjusted to normal condi
tions, it may be prepared for its share
of that prosperity and that with
li on or. ,
Considers Rupture Unlikely
Atlantic City N. J., July 9,Garry
llerrman .'of Cincinliati, who with
" President Tener represents theNa
tional league on the National Base
Ball commission, said today that he
did not believe the controversy over
the Perry case would cause the dis-
i ruption of the relations between tha
Expects Tener to Resign.'
Chicago, July 9. President Ban
Johnson ot the American league, re
plying to the statement of John K
TeHer, president of the National
league, that he would have no further
dealings with the 'National Base Ball
commission in any case in which the
American league is a party, said to
right that he feared no break in rela
tions with the National league as he
understood President Tener would
ahortly resign. Y
; "The contemplated resignation of
. ' Governor Tener from the presidency
of the National league occasioned me
iio surprise," said President Johnson.
"From advices I have received from
several sources, the course he has
taken is absolutely necessary for the
welfare of Jiase ball in view of the fact
that he devoted so little attention to
the affairs of the game.
"Morally and technically Manager
'Mack of the Philadelphia club can be
justified in the position, he has taken
in the Perry case. Governor Tener
l:as on one or two -occasions been a
party to acts of the commission that
itemed unfair and absurd to me, but
I never accepted that as an excuse for
declining to serve as a member of that
. tcdy. ,.a , ').' .' ' .

jfind no difficulty in ably filling the

Bernstorff Brains
of New York Mail's
Pro-German Policy
. !
New York, July 9. Assertions that j
Dr. Edward A. Rumely.iublisher of i
the Evening Mail, placed all his
records at the disposal of the Depart- j
mcnt of Justice during personal visits
to Washington, led to bail being i
fixed at $35,000 instead of $50,000, as
originally asked by federal counsel j
when Dr.,RUmeIy was arraigned to-i
dav before United States Commission- i
cr Hitchcock on a charge of perjury.
Hearing in the case, involving al
legations by the government that the
Mail is owned by the German im
perial government, was deferred for
two weeks,
Pr, Kuniely was arrested yesterday
after an investigation arising out of
an examination of the records seized
in this country from Hugo Schmidt,
who was Germany's fiscal agent in
America. He had sworn to A. Mit
chell Palmer, alien property custo
dian, that the Mail was American
owned, whereas inquiry by federal
and state officials has disclosed, ac
cording to the investigators, that Ger
man money purchased the newspaper
and paid for its publication.
An official said Dr. Rumely had
"escaped facing an indictment for
treason by just three days." Dr.
Rumely, it was said, had received his
last remittance from pro-German
sources on April 3, 1917, and the
United States declared war on April
b of last year.
Count "von Bernstorff and Dr.
Heinrich F. Albert, formerly com
mercial attache of the German em
bassy in Washington, were said to
have been the "brains" of the Mail's
pro-German propaganda before the
United States entered the war. It
was von BernstorfF's method, accord
inir to the officials, to dictate the
editorial policy of the Mail and to
make it secretly pro-German although
apparently strongly American. This
was done, he said, by means of pro
Irish and British and anti-Japansse
fulminations.
Creel Forced to Retrench;
Abolishes Two Divisions
Washintrton. July 9. George Creel,
chairman of the committee on public
information, announced tonight that
as the result of the reduction of his
appropriation he has abolished the di
visions of woman's war work and of
syndicate features. He said he did
not contemplate other organization
changes and that 42 men of draft age
have been dismissed because congress
stipulated none of the funds should
be used to pay men of draft age unless
physically disqualified.

General Crowdcr to all local draft
boards ordering the cessation of the

DRIFT TO SLOAN
SENATOR IS
AREOLA'S VIEW
Crete Capitalist in Washington
Talks of Effect of Ham
mond's Entrance in
Nebraska Race.
Washington Bureau of
The Omaha Bee,
1311 G Street.
Washington, July 9. --(Special Tel
esrain.) Anton Dredla, an ex-banker
mid capitalist of Crete, accompanied
by his daughter, Irene, was in Wash
ington today en route to Newport
Xews. He reports the wheat harvest
in Nebraska as being up to the 10
year average, and very good quality,
w hile the corn outlook was excellent
throughout the state.
"Willi the approach of the repub
lican primaries, political interest has
manifested itself," said Mr. Dredla.
"The republicans are showing more
interest than usual at this time of
year."
When asked about the senatorial
situation he said that it had been
rather a shifting proposition. "As
long as the contest was between
Sloan and Norris there was hardly
anyone that had any doubt of the re
sult, as Sloan's strength was mani
festly much the greater, especially
in the several parts of the state where
my business took me. The entrance
of Hammond, however, has created
a doubt, and if his vote gets large
enough to create any prospect 'of
nominating him, it will draw very
largely from the Sloan vote, 'in my
judgment, making-a close contest be
tween Norris and Sloan. However, as
time goes on and the effect of a di
vided vote is becoming apparent, the
Sloan strength is rapidly growing and
I believe the best judgment of Ne
braskans is that Sloan will win the
nomination."
E. C. Hadden, an Omaha attorney,
is in Washington on business with
the interior department.
Representative Sloan, wife and
daughter( will go to New York tomor
row to meet their son and brother,
Charles Porter Sloan, of the aviation
corps, who expects to sail for France
at any moment. Young Sloan re
ceived his aviation training at the
Wright field, near Dayton. Ohio.
Germans Preparing
To Take Complete
Sway in Roumania
Paris, July 9.--There has been an
influx of German commercial and
business men into Jassy.
'I' here arc 40 or 50 German officers
in Jassy, seeing that the Roumanian
army is properly demobilized. They
are preparing the people for complete
German domination, but they lose no
chance to create a friendly feeling
among the Roumanian military.
Thu Germans requisitioned the
building which the American legation
occupied during the last 18 months,
ordering the American minister to
find other quarters.
The Roumanian queen has shown
an intense dislike of the Germans and
has repeatedly refused audiences re
quested to high military officials.
The royal family are living in virtual
seclusion at a little village in the
Carpathian mountains.
Food Shortage in Austria
Is Growing More Acute
Paris, July 9. The food shortage
in Austria is growing more acute,
according to Herbert Mayer, secre
tary of Charles J. Vopicka, American
minister to Roumania. Mr. Mayer has
just returned from Jassy, by way of
Austria and Switzerland.
At Vienna the train on which he
traveled stopped in the railroad yard,
and a crowd of hungry and ragged
men and women employed in the yard
scrambled aboard and begged for
food. All looked emaciated and
underfed. When the passengers
threw out scraps of food, the Aus
trians made a rush and devoured it
ravenously. They said that the kov-
I ernment was giving them only enough
loocl to keep them trom actual starva
tion. At a station between Orsova ami
Budapest, a mob of about 100 Aus
trian soldiers and civilians attempted
to board the train, and were only put
off at the point of a pistol. Some
of them were endeavoring to reach
home, others were trying to reach
points where food was more plentiful.
