Johnson, routed by Charles W.

"Tho heads t)f tho National league stfould have the same power. At jny meeting In Now York with Tcncr, Herrmann,, Maker, Ireyfua and three or. four others, 1 told them that It tho National league could not control this' discordant element hero In Chicago that the American Icaguo wpuld no longer bo ablo to dovetail with their organisation. I. told them that Tener nni Herrmann should have tho powe:-' that 1 have to remove any club owner who was. a menace to tho gamo. There will be no backward step on tho part of the Arnerlcun league. Wo aro prepared to go to any length to get rid of thit Influence In Chicago. "Wo had a four haura' session," added Johnson, "und, at Its conclusion 1 under, stood, "and National leacua owners would go Into executive session and take action In connection, with tho situation aa I presented It them. Secretary John Hcldler of tho Nationals promised t- end mo a copy of tho record of what ever was, cjono f.or my Information." Bane Mall World Indignant. Johnson sold tho entire baao ball world was Indignant' that JJVora had been dropped a few days before the team started on Its training nip. "Nothing could be more harmful to bast ball," he declared. "livers-had Just been sent south to look over training quarters and; had been commissioned to sign a. number of player! men' whose signatures I doubt If Murphy could havo obtained without tho aid of Evcra. Then ho was dropped at a fow days' notice when he thought In perfect good faith thut he had a five-year contract. Of course Ever was dropped In uccordancu with the provisions of his contract and hn should have known what he was sign tng before he signed It. Out we don't want that sort of thing in base ball. "Wo want perfect confidence between players, owners and public. "Billy Locke witnessed tho signature to Evcrs" contract and he came to me afterwards and said that livers was standing on a trap door and did nut know It The ride agreement attached to the contract provided that Evcrs might be dropped at ten days' notice, but Evcrs signed the paper without reading it. Wo can't afford to betray the confidence Jf a ball player in that manner. Federal n Uleaalnir, "This Is the big Iwsiic In base ball , now and not the Federal tongue. l' think the Federal league com to use now hs a. blessing In disguise. The American league has set out to tee this affair through and we will not. falter until It is satis factorily settled. "The national am cement can le changed any time by -a majority votevof the parties Interested, it docs not re quire unanimous vote. -An for Murphy' threat against me personally, they aro mere vaiwrlngs. I do not reply to them, but 1 Indicate by what I have said how fur the American league is prepared to go. The American league cannot dovetail with the National league under present conditions." lTcsiueni jonneon announced that a new eight-club leuguo in major league territory is contemplated by organised baa ball. Johnson said that tho project wm ret' on foot by President llaker of the Philadelphia National and that it Is at present under consideration by the major league club owners. Marpfctjr Defiant, "Sweeney and Perdue will play with ti.

Itourke, president of tho Omaha .base ball club, returned homo Sunday morning from Chicago,, wliero ha Was In attendance at 'the Western league rneet'ng tho latter part of last week. Pa Is quite happy over tho results of the mtictlng, asserting that It was har monlouo In .oyery way and that tho rul ings passed will be beneficial to tho league, the club owners and the fans. All of the suggestions made by the board of directors and sponsored at the mooting by the directors were passed, The. long" schedulp of 143 games, was ac corded approval as was the aeason guar unteo which provides 'for the 'forfeiture of the sum of U.00O In caso any one team falls to complete the playing schedule. Tho game guarantee of tl25 was not nushed as tho directors agreed that It would prove unpopular with such clubs as Wichita and Lincoln and Bloux City. White In Chicago, Pa had interviews with Harry Hicks and Pitcher Ormsby. Pa secured the consent of both players to sign up with Omaha for tho ap proachlug season. Urady and Wallace, both of whom Pa wished to see, could not be located, because ' of the limited tlmo Pa had to spchd In Chicago. During Itourke'' abaenco the signed contract of Bhostak, tho catcher, who showed, so much promlso last year, ar rived. KhcsUtk was given a good Increase In salary and ho was glad to return to tho Omaha fold. After Omaha had amassed a total of thirty points to South Omaha's twelve, tho basket ball gomo scheduled between tho two tenms nt the Young Men's Chris tian association Katurduy night ended In a dlsputo following a fistic duel between Murk Hughes, captain of tho Omaha squad, nnd Leach of tho South Omaha quintet. Mrs. Foley and Mr. Nixon, who attended the game, refused to permit their sons, both on the South Omaha team, to participate In the game any further, su Referee Miller forfeited th) gamo to Omaha, 2 to 0. Tho regrettable affray took placo In tho accond half. Leach, who was guard ing Hughes, pounced upon Hughes when Hughes received a pass and, according to several witnesses, struck at 'Hughes, probably accidentally. Tho same wit nesses asserted that Hughes In swinging away inadvertantly struck Leach wltn hla elbow or hand, It could not be ascer tained which, whereupon the little South Omaha lad, who Is considerably smaller than Hughes, started to fight., Hughes Instantly fought back and f truck Iach In tho cheek, drawing blood. Dutch Plats, who. had been put out of the gamo on class B fouls, which nobody but tho referee could see, rushed onto , the floor and dragged Hughes away. Leach carao back at Hughes again, however, und HughcK got In another blow. The crowd Jn the gallery, which was loaded with South Omaha supporters, ' ran to the floor beneath and the Omaha, sup porters crowded out on "the floor Just in time to prevent a freo-for-all fight with South Omaha boys hot on the trail of Hughes. Although South Omaha, sup porters promised' to "get" Hughes aa he loft tho gymnasium no outburst was ex perienced. The only witnesses to the af fair wero Omaha men. No South Omaha men saw the original blow struck. During the game Hughes was easily the star. Although Leach dogged his every step tho. lanky Omaha captain succeeded In throwing six goals from the field and one free throw. His floor game was also excellent. Dutch PlaU, prior to his re moval, played a fast snappy game that nwept tho South Omaha lads oft their feet. Taken as a whole Omaha was vastly superior to South' Omaha and would havo undoubtedly run up a heavy score It the gamo had not been forfeited. The lino up: MINNKAPOL1S, Feb. 15.-(Spcclal Tel egram.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Commlssloner Goncral Cumtncttt of tho bureau of Im migration in his first annual report, sub mitted today to Secretary 'Wilson, recom mended certain modifications of the Chi nese cxcliiilon. act, and expressed the opinion that great care should be taken with tho seamen's bill pending In con gress, declaring that "tho seamen's bill on the ono hand and the Immigration and Chinese exclusion laws on the othor can not be properly enforced unless tho!r terms aro brought Into substantial and practical accord." a marriage ceremony by proxy, recog nized ns legal in Japan, are really en titled to admission. He says lie does not bcllcvo "any such marriage Is binding upon the United States In tho administra tion of Immigration laws; and also that there Is no treaty with Japan, or other arrangement whatsoever, that proviueu for the recognition by tho United States of the so-called matrlngo of a woman In Japan with a man who may be In tho United States nt thn alleged date of tho same." He says there seems to be need of repetition and emphasis of the state ment in tho former commissioner gen eral's report. Which declared that the practice of admitting ouch women "opens tho way for the Introduction Into con tinental United States of largo bodies of common laborers females, It Is true, but none tho less competitors of tho laborers of this country: and this practice must necessarily result In constituting u large native-born Japaneso populaUon of per sons who, because of the'r birth on Amer ican soil, will be resnrded us American rltlzens, although their parents cunnot bo naturalized."

In the ginsp of minor sons of merchants, Btudents, ' natives of sons of natives." As to deportation cases, the commis sioner general declared figures showed the supreme court's decision of 1912 that enco to the general question ut Asiatic Immigration, other than a comment on "aliens employed on vessels," nnd what he says is the danger of Chinese and other Asiatics getting In unlawfully 'by serving as seamen and deserting. As to Japaneso Immigration, ho ex presses doubt as to whether tho "photo graph" brides after having gone through "Chinese, llko all other aliens, who enter surreptitiously, aro subject to deportation by the administrative process provided In the general Immigration laws, was now producing most valuable results." He contends that the three-year limita tion on tho right to deport Chinese, It hero unlawfully, should bo "removed Insofar ns It affects Chinese." The employment of aliens on vessels entering ports here, ho says, "has aU ways led, directly or Indirectly, to numer ous and flagrant violations of both the Immigration und Chinese exclusion laws." Ho pointed out that during tho year be tween 33,000 and 40,000 Chlneso sallora entered ports here, and the rule of giving bond for shore leave, he declared, "is honored In the breach as much as in tho observance." Ho contended that the law should requlro all Asiatics lawfully here to have a -certificate of Identification, by which tho "Introduction of tho Asiatics Into tho country by surreptitious mothods would soon becomo too expensive to be profitable." Tho report shows that 1,197,892 aliens wero admitted last year, more than the total for the preceding year by 359,720. CrelKhtnn Defcntn Nlohrnrn. CREIGHTON, Neb., Feb. 15.-(Speclal.)
