MS W0D'S SERIES
Johnson Not Sura That Ath
letics Will Win American
League Pennant. J . .
NEJW YORK, , July , II. Although
lther the Anaerioan nor the Na
tional league pennant la; the personal.
property of any team as yet, Ban
Johnson and other member ot the
National eomintealon are beginning to
plan for the world's series ol lilt.
The American league president during
bis recent visit here said:
"While the Athletics now have a
Mr lead, nothing is certain in base
fcalL I notice that Maok still Is sock
ing pitchers, so I'm safe In saying he
laj not ready to alt back an J wait for
the National league winner's on
slaught Cleveland, Washington and
Chicago are very much In the race."
President Johnson stated that in
ease the Athletics and Giants did win
their respective league championship!
the world's series will be played on
alternate days In New" York and Phil
adelpahla. Should the winning teams
be separated by a greater distance of
travel than thee two cities then the
tries would be played two games at
horns and two abroad.
Relative to tie games, he said, that
In future the world's series schedule
would b adhered to and the tie game
played on th next return to the city
in which it occurred.
TT further mtntA that iArAftr
all umpires in the world's series would
receive $1,000 each for their work,
in accordance with the policy estab
lished after the close of the 1912
play.
According to Johnson Interest in
th world's championship play this
autumn will be keener than ever. Ap
plications for series seats already are
being received from many states and
foreign countries. One . letter was
from live Americans now living In
Chile, who wrote they were planning
to spend their vacation as spectators,
"at the world's series, providing they
could be assured of securing seats.
FORWARD OFFICER ,
UNDER ARREST
BERLIN, July IT. Lieut Muller,
4 the 107th infantry is doing three
days' time in his barracks for not
recognising the fact that the Kaiser
is supposed to be all-wise, that is,
knowing everybody of the million
men that compose his army. Muller,
having good connections, was invited
to an imperial" hunt, and seeing the
Emperor from afar. Tie Spurred his
horse, rode up to him, parried short
in the best possible fashion arid sa
luting, introduced himself, "Lieut
Muller of the 107th Infantry." .
The Kaiser happened to be in a
Jovial mood and bawled out In Ger
man equivalent for Teddy's "De
lighted," adding, "I suppose I don't
have to mention my name."
; "Tour 'Majesty's moat obedJejjL"
said the lieutenant, as he urged his
horse away, backward of course, for
it's against the rules to let a majesty
see one's back.
The same evening Muller's colonel
sentenced him to three days arreut.
after admonishing him In this fashion
"Don't you know that the . kaiser Is
kupposed to know by name every of
ficer and soldier In the army? If his
majesty hadn't been feeling well this
morning and If he had complained, I
would have court-martialed you. Al
Iways remember that the kaiser Is all
wise." i
Still isome people wonder that WH
'llam considers himself the chosen In
strument of the Almighty. . I

Ramaeur, organising secretory of the
state .association, who has been hers
for the past several days conferring
with the business men and manufac
turers of the county relative to the
organization of a branch in Buncombe
county. He reviewed the work of
the state association since its organi
sation several weeks ago, and declared
that North Carolina Is discriminated
against by the railroads, lie quoted
statistics to show that no stats in the
Union has higher freight rates than
this one and stated that, the growth
of the commonwealth is being hamp
ered as the result of unfair rates.
He paid a high compliment to Gov
ernor Craig, who Is working for bet
ter rates, and -predicted that with
strong county organisations this state
will soon be in a position to gemand
bettor rates and to see that its da
mands are granted. Mr. Ramseur

before returning to High Point for a
conference with President Frd N.
Tate, he will visit other counties of
this section of the state for the pur
pose of forming organizations. He
is well pleased with the outlook here
and is firm in the belief that the

DEFICIT FOR STATE
RALEIGH, July 17. (Special.)
The constitutional amendment com
mission tonight rounded up Its work
Into final report to the governor, to
be presented tomorrow, and adjourn
ed. Ths adoption of amendment pro
posals on final reading was finished
this afternoon.

legislature. It was amended to pre
scribe 1600 per term of two years

resentative Williams appealed that
this and all now essential proposals
be voted down to get through moat

and Judicial reform. . He said hs was
told today in the stats treasurer's
office that the deficit for this year
and nest year under the present rev
enue act will not be less than 400,000
in" spite of the fact that the legisla
ture thought its provisions would
take care of the state's running ex
penses easily. The state Is, he said,
facing a financial crisis, and to bur
den the tax reform Issue with multi
plicity of amendment proposals would
defeat these vital matters.
Mr. Bailey offered an amendment
that the Initiative; anjd referendum
shall not apply to changing the con
stltutlon and said he would support
it with this amendment. This was
adopted and the proposal passed
to 11.
Proposal 12, to require reading the
Bible in public schools, passed 11 to I
Proposal 18, as to homestead exemp
tion, was defeated, 8 to 7, leaving the

to 6. Proposal 19, for six montha
instead of four months, minimum
terms of schools passed unanimously,
Proposal 20, as to poll-tax payment
and voting and residence period for
citizenship, was defeated.

Withering all his endorsements to

flictlng. The varying situation from
day to day, the complexities of Mexi
can politics, the necessary caution in
wording, telegrams for fcHr of loaks
all these obstacles have made It dif
ficult for the .embassy officials and
the consular service In Mexico to de
scribe conditions intelligibly.
The first tep In the policy of se
curing first-hand information. It was
officially explained, Is the summoning
of Ambassador Wilson. Secretary
Bryan, it was announced, would be
in Washington whn Mr. WlWon ar
rives, cancelling any lectures that
might conflict with the engagement.
No criticism 1m advanced here against
Ambassador Wilson for falling to
supply all ths Information desired
by the president and his advisers, the
difficulties ot communications being
taken Into consideration. While It Is
reliably stated that the president
hoped after personal conversation
with the American ambassador to
formulate a definite policy toward
Mexico, administration officials are by
no means sure their opinions will be
crystallised Immedfatefy, as the un
certainty and constant changes In the
situation may- produce additional
complications.
The president h made It clear to
those who have discussed It with htm
that his mind is open on the proper
time for recognizing the de facto gov
ernment In Mexico and there Is no
definite determination to extend rec
ognitlon after October elections. It
is altogether possible that the United
States may await a return to stable
conditions, Inasmuch as the Cnrranxa
rebellion, according to state depart
ment reports, Is growing rapidly and
the constitutional! admittedly con
trol so large a portion of the Mexican
republic. -'
PERSHING'S SERVICE.
WASHrNnTOV, n. C, July 17.
Major General BH1, commanding the
Philippine department, warmly prais
es Brigadier General John J. Persh
ing for the mnnniT In which he con
ducted his campaign to disarm the
Moros. It Is not the first time that
Gen. Pershing has been mentioned
in despatches, and when the history
of the Philippines comes to be written
It Is probable that to the fighter from
Miasouri will be given the credit for
doing the Wggest share of the "rough
work" Incident to the pacification of
the islands.
General PeTshlng has been fighting
In the PhlllpTln'S the greater part of
the past ten yearn. In 1908 he was
singled out by President Roosevelt
In one of his messages to congress
for his distinguished services In his
fights against the Moros In the Lake
Llano country. There his senior of
ficer being incapacitated, the com
mand of the battalkm devolved upon
him. Captain Pershing was away
from civilization and almost cut off
from communication with the out
side world. For months he kept open
his base of operations, supplied his
own subslstance and. with his men,
fought every day and part of the
night He ' started at the 'lower end
of the lake and fouxht clear around
its circumference, exterminating hos
tile natives or making peace with
their chiefs. Gen. MacArthur, then
In command In the Philippines, rec
ommended him for promotion to
brigadier general as ths only recog
nition commensurate with his actual
services. Thereupon the president
Captailn Pershing over the heads of
842 officers of hlxher rank and made
him a brigadier genfral In the regu
lar army. Except in the cass of Gen
eral Funeton, who w made a briga
dier general from the volunteers after
his capture of Aguinaldo, there la no
other Instance upon record where
bravery and efficient service have
been so promptly and so extensively
rewarded.
The latest dispatches from the
Philippines Indicate tat fhej. rev,nt
fighting has been as severs as any
that marked the- erly sareer of Gen
eral Pershing In the islands. For
days the American troops have been
fighting In the mountain fastness
with avages sometimes numbering
between $,000 and 10,800. Hand to
hand combats have been frequent. In
which not a savage surrendered, said
ths encounters were ended only ;y
escape or death. . ..
