"Scraps of Paper?;' Asks
Fultz of Minor Magnates
New York, Nov.: 20. The National
Association of Minor Base Ball
Leagues, in empowering minors to
release players without the custom
ary five days' notice, viitually has
repudiated the agreement which or
ganized base bill made with the Base
Ball Players' fraternity a few seasons
ago at Cincinnati, according to David
L. Fultz, president of the fraternity.
Mr. Fultz, in a statement made pub
lic today, says that apparently or
ganized base ball regards that agree
ment as a mere "scrap of paper." ,
It wouldn t surprise me, the state
ment says, "if organized base ball will
now repudiate many of the other
promises which they made to the
players in the Cincinnati compact.",.

DRAG-NET GATHERS
SUSPECTED ALIENS
General Roundup is Now in
Progress Under President's
Proclamation and Oer
- mans Leave Zone.
Washington, Nov. 20. A roundup
of suspected Germans, mainly in sea
coast and lake port cities, is in pro
gress today under authority of Presi
dent Wilson's new proclamation for
bidding alien enemies within 100 yards
of docks, requiring their registration
and imposing other restrictions on
their movements. .
The intelligence bureaus of, the
army and navy have charge of mak
ing most arrests of Germans not
evacuating the new barred zones. The
Department of Justice will receive
prompt reports and after allowing
for full hearing will determine those
to be interned permanently.
Only a , small percentage of the
half niillion unnaturalized German
men affected by the president s proc
tarnation will be -arrested, officials ex
plained, in discrediting rumors of the
arrest and imprisonment of ; many
mousanas.
A few Germans left Washington to
day in compliance with the president's
order making a barred zone of the
District of Columbia, but the exodus
attracted little attention.
Rules to govern registration of
alien eneihies were practically com
pleted by Attorney General Gregory
today and will be promulgated short
ly. It was said unofficially that the
attorney general might not exercise
immediately the authority given by
the proclamation to require Germans
to report "regularly to (public officials.
Within a few weeks the Department
ot justice expects to extend the 100
yard barred zone to a number of man.
ufacturins: plants, and the result will
be to throw some Germans out of em
ployment, i but no widespread distur
bance in the industries is expected.
. Officials realize that most of ; the
anti-war activities in this country are
carried on by naturalized Germans or
even mercenary or misled Americans
whom the president's proclamation
does not affect. They are handicap
ped also by inability to take any gen
eral action against suspected Aus
trians and other allies of Germany
and against German women, -who in
many cases are recognized as ef
ficient gatherers of information valu
able to Germany.
"Mr." Romanoffs' New
- York Property Is Attached
New York, Nov. 20.-A writ of at
tachment on the personal progerty
here of Nicholas - Romanoff, tjprmer
emperor of Russia, was signed by
State Supreme Court Justice Russell
Benedict today in a suit for $2,800,

Noumburg. attorney for the corpora

Russians has several million dollars
worth of property in this city, mostly
money in banks, which will be seized
under the writ, as soon as located.

No Action Here on Alien
Enemy Rules Just Given Out
Federal officials li pr liavp Tint v.t
received any instructions from Wash
ington about enforcing the n
lations regarding "alien eneinies"
wmcn nave just Deen made.
According to these regulations, no
unnaturalized German will be al
lowed within 100 yards of a water
front, warehouse, shed, railroad ter
minal. Strict enforcement of this
rule, it is said,, would put many Ger
mans out of business. Many in Oma
ha arc employed in wholesale houses
and even in railroad terminals. Many
live within 100 yards of warehouses
and sheds.
Officials here believe tbp.taw will
be very broadly construed; that is
win not De entorcea literally.
