NEW YORK. July 21.--Thrt will be nn
strike of base ball players In tho two
major leagues. The Kraft case, basis
for n Btrlko order Issued yesterday by tho
Baso Ball rlayera' fraternity. waB sot
tied today by tho Newark Internationals
agreeing to buy Nashvllte'B Interest In
Kraft.
Announcement to this effect was mado
this afternocn by Charloa H. Elibets,
owner of tho Brooklyn Nationals and a
largo stockholder in tho Nowark Interna
tional club.
At the time of Mr. Ebbets' announce
ment the American league magnates
ware In scission, having: been called to
gether by President Johnson to deter
mine on a course of action In case the
players In the two major leagues should
ol ey the strike order.
Mr. Ebbets announced that Nashville
had signified Its acceptance of Newark's
ptoposal and that Kraft would report to
tho Newark team at Providence tomor
' row. Kraft has been undor suspension
for more than five weeks, over since his
refusal to report to the Nashville club.
In settlement of all claims on Kraft the
Nashvlllo club Is" to receive 2,500. Mr. Eb
bets announced.
nhlielH Sn lie Dirt It . All.
I made this arrangement f without
cither request or Instructions from either
tho American or National league," Mr.
Ebbets said. "I acted entirely on my
own responsibility. I have not been in
, communication with Davo Fultz, either.
Doubtless, however, he, as well as every
body else, will be pleased with this settle
ment of tho situation."
.Mr. Ebbets was sked if tho National
Icuguo had backed down."
"Xo," 'ho replied. "If anybody has
"iack.ed. .down I have. I accept the re
sponsibility for the whole thing."
"Kraft will not suffer In any way
financially," Mr. Ebbets continued. "Ho
will bo paid his Newark club salary of
ISO a month ($150 more than the Nash
vllls club was permitted to pav Him) for
llio entire time that ho was under sus
pension and for the rest of the life of his
contract.
"I nettled this case myself because I
did not want to see trouble between or
ganized base hall andlts players," Mr.
Ebbets said. "It teemed to mo that this
wns the simplest and easiest way out of
the difficulty for Newark to buy Nash
lllo's Interest In tho player. Of course,
I realize that this settlement will be con
strued practically as a victory for the
fraternity Inasmuch us they got every
thing they asked for."
President Fultz of the Players' fra
trmlly expressed gratification at the out
co.ne of tlio er.se.
"If the purclmso Is a bona fice one mid
the Newark rlub Intends to use Kraft,
we are satisfied," he said. "So far us
we are concerned the Incident is ended."

"I want to say nothing whatever about
him," replied Huerta.
Another asked him about President Wll-
"Mr. Wilson Is president of the United
States," he answered, "and as such I
respect him. I must bo careful what I
say about him, too, for let mo remind
you that In all these affairs, I have never
officially mentioned his name. Tho near
est I camo to it was In my note of rcslg
tlon, and then only by Inference.
"Oh, oh, yes, he has spoken of mo
many times, indeed. Ho has been kind
enough to send mo messages, but I never
have fcjt Jlke using his name.
Ills Ilest Friends.
"However, as a matter of fact, do you
know Wilson, Carranza and Villa are my
best friends? They have Introduced mo
rather widely. I am merely ono of tho
sons of Mexico, no more important my
tcir than anyone of these." Speaking of
the rclutlons of the United States and
-Mexico, Huerta declared Intervention by
the former would never come.
Tho picture men, who had been busy all
the time, asked him to stop a minute

LONDON, July 21. For the first time
in tho modern history of England the
king today recognized that the cry of
civil war was on the Hps of many of his
responsible nnd sober minded citizens In
connection with the Irish home rule
crisis.
His speech to the leaders of the various
parties, called together in conferenco at
Buckingham palace, was very gravo in
Its tono as he told them ho regarded them
as the trustees for tho honor and peaco of
all, and left them to confer In view of
reaching a settlement.
He told them their responsibilities were
great nnd that time was short, and ad
vised them to exercise patience nnd to be
earnest and conciliatory In Ihclr delibera
tions. Vhllt the leaders of tho liberals, con
servatives, nationalists and Ulster un
ionists were in conference today nt Buck
ingham pnlace endeavoring to find a so
lution of tho homo rule problem, prepara
tions wero being made by the chief un
ionist organlier for a general election.
Hi sent orders to all the constituencies
to preparo for an election threo weeks
nfter the conference, as tho leaders nre
convinced that no mntter what mav bo
done at Buckingham palace, the House of
Commons soon must bo dlssoulved.
During the time tho conferees sat
around the table in Buckingham, palaco
they found nn opportunity to discuss
many points of difference and leforo ad
journing touched on tho question of the
exclusion of tho county of Tryono from
the operations of tho Irish home rule
bill, a point which everybody recognizes
as the most thorny ono of the whole sub
ject. The general Impression prevails that the
conference will settle this matter, since
nobody believes that tho question of the
exclusion of ono .county will bo allowed
by eiaht politicians .possessing -thef ability
of tho conferees to turn tho scales for
civil war.
A liberal caucus was summoned, as ono
ofthe leaders put It, to "buck up" the
British government, which was attended
by upwards fo 100 Liberal members of
th House of Commons. "
A resolution wa passed to tho effect
that the members unswervingly support
tho claims of Ireland ns put forward by
the Nationalists and embodied in the
Irish home rule bill, and the gathering
showed a determination to see the cause
finally won.
The meeting further expressed tho
opinion that It was the duty of the gov
ernment to complcto Its whole program
before making an appeal to the con
stituencies. Woman Killed When

M'DERMOTT QUITS HOUSE
Illinois Representative Under
Charges Resigns Seat.
WILL APPEAL TO HIS DISTRICT
He Is Aecnsed of Accepting n Fee
from Pawnbroker's to Work
Agnlnst the Federnl T.onn
Khnrk Lnrr.
WASHINGTON. July 21.-Rcpresentatlve
James T. McDermott of Illinois today, on
tho floor of the house, offered his resig
nation to take effect Immediately. Mc
Dermott is under charges In connection
with the lobby Investigation.
McDermott, democrat, representing a
.constituency which Includes tho stock
yards district of Chicago, was ono of the
figures In the exposure of Martin M.
Mulhall, star wltnoss In the lobby Inves
tigation. A majority report of tho In
veitlgatlon committee now ready to come
before the house recommends that n ue
censured with officers of the National
olat Ion of rJ"
report reuonuiirimo ... .
IIIh reslimatlon came as 'a sensation
today, when, Immediately after the house
had assembled, he rose to a question of
personal privilege and offered It from the
floor, declaring ho would "appeal nis case
to tho people of tho Fourth district of
Illinois."
Snn Alleged nrlbe Wns Lonu.
Ho said ho had already forwarded his
resignation to Governor Dunne and had
announced himself as a candidate for re
election. He presented a lotter to the
spenker announcing his resignation.
"Unfortunately," he said. "I came U
this houso a poor man; ortunatefy for
myself, however, taking Into considera
tion tho character of the charges mado
against mo, I leave this house a poor
man. I have been compelled during my
services ns a member of this house to
borrow money from my friends. It so
happened that afterward they became
opponents of legislation which passed
this house, affecting their business as
pawnbrokers and as liquor dealers.
"It Is true I have not had the educa
tional training, and perhaps the social
training, and advantages that other
members of this house may boost. I
have been invited to many places In Chi
cago and elsewhere that perhaps some
members may think above my social
station, but I have preferred to associate
with the people who sent mo to conrress,
and when I nm at home In Chicago I am
to be found at my accustomed haunts
and among my old companions, asso
ciating with tho men and boys In tho
great Union Stock Yards."
Mullinll's Charges.
Mulhall charged that McDermott had
permitted him to use his congremlonal
frank for circulating matter for the man
ufacturers and that McDermott had
claimed he had receives ,500 from local
work ' 'irai
loan shark law, and a 12,000 campaign
contribution from tho Chicago Brewers'
association.
McDermott's defense was that money
received from the pawnbroker was In
tho nature of personal loaiiB, and that
the brewers had contributed only 5H) out
of personal friendship. He also denied
a charge by Mulhall that ho had forged
Harold F. McCormlck's name to a check
for J3tA

In the course of an excited talk, Mme,

Joseph Calllaux also took the stand.
He looked very young to havo beet)

rortant radical party. After relating
licldents of his private life nfter hlfl
marriage with Mmo. Gueydan, ha cx4
plained tho circumstances of the writing
of the two letters to Mme. Raynouard
who afterward became Mme. Calllaux,
His voice trembled and he was obvloualjj
111 at easo, but he gathered composure
as he proceeded.
Mmo. Hcnrlette Cullleux was up at 1
o'clock preparing for the second day
hearing. Sho took nn early breakfast
and before 8 o'clock was waiting for hei
husband, who, however, did not coll al
the prison till between 9 and 10 o'clock)
The prisoner and her husband conversed
for hnlf an hour nnd afterward she
lunched.
"I feet better than I did yesterday,''
Mme, Calllaux said to the sollcltoud
prison warden whon he Inquired today
about her health.
The prisoner had previously looked
through a mass of morning papers and
had found that generally sheteri beeq
.BympathtienJly treated. .Tira 'sfmsoJ

Tho court was a little lato In assembling
today and Mme. Calllaux talked ovor he'
case with Fernand Laborl, her advocate
In a private waiting room. After Judge!
X,ouis Albanel and his associates had!
taken their places on the bench Mmej
Calllaux entered the prisoners' enclosure!
wtlh an air of making herself at home.
She was dressed as on tho first day of
the trial. She took off her coat and!
looked quietly around the crowded court.
Dark circles under her eyes and hetf
quick, nervous gestures seemed to beJ
tray the strain she was undergoing.
Prisoner's llnnlinml fiunnlfil,
Joseph Calllaux, the prisoner's hus
band, then entered the court and took:
his place among the witnesses. Ho was
accompanied by two detectives, owing ten
tho fact that a group of bystanders had)
hooted him and shouted insults at hins
as he left the prison after visiting his
wife.
Two office boys from the Figaro offlc
were the first witnesses. They described
the arrival of Madame Calllaux at thej
offices of tho Figaro on the day of the
crime. They told how she waited andl
gave details of her entrance Into the room!
occupied by Gaston Calmette and of thel((
hearing shots.
One of the boys, Adrlen Nlcet, crouched
down on the witness stand and uttered a,
series of low cries to show how he had
found Calmette, who was sheltering hlrn
self behind his desk.
