C. A. R. FLAGS Affected
BY THE new STATE LAW
Says the Flag Cannot be De-
faced by Advertisement Of
Insignia.

Attorney General McCarter has
given an opinion on the effect of the
"hag dissertation" act that was passed
at the recent regular session of the
legislature at the request of the G..
A. r. posts throughout the State. and
according to his opinion the G. A. Z.
is affected by thegmeasure.
The q. A. r. posts wanted the bill
passed so as to prevent any n from
using it for advertising purposes, and
for that reason it was so worded MS
to make it a misdemeanor to deface
the flag with an advertisement or in
sigma and now that it has become a
law the Grand Army men Find that
the posts can no longer carry their
flags in parade if their post number
is woven on the flag.
Louis +. Bridgman, assistant ad
jutant general of the department OF
New Jersey. requested the opinion OF
the attorney general and since the
attorney generals ruling apparently
hits the post flags as well as others, 1T
is believed that the posts will either
l,ave their old flags in tile barracks
when on parade or else remove the
Inscriptions.

HUDSON BAY SOVEREIGNTY.
Rights of United States on the Wa
tiers Said to A~ntedate Those Of
Self-Assertive Canada.

Having failed in their project for
cutting the Alaskan seaboard of the
United States into detached strips, the
Canadians have now set up a novel
,laim of absolute sovereignty over the
waters Of the Hudson bay; and they
assert the right to close the broad
Hudson strait to the whaling ships Of
New England. which alone have had
the hardihood to seek those waters for
the past two generations, says the Re
view of Reviews. The Hudson strait
averages about one hundred miles in
width; while the Hudson bay, which
IS far remote from any Canadian popu-
lation, is a great body Of water about
six hundred miles wide on the sixtieth
parallel of latitude, and about one
thousand miles long in extreme meas.
ure from north to south.
The United States, which has para
mount interests in North America, and
Is the only country with either the
capital and energy or the population
capable of developing the vast unoc-
cupieI regions to the north, is scarcely
likely, after GO years Of whaling in
the Hudson bay, to admit Canada's
pretensions. The rights of the United
States in Hudson bay antedate those
nf Canada by a great many years. In
any case, the substantial interests of
this country in those northern waters
are of far more Importance than the
technical claims of Canada to exclusive
authority there. Obviously the destiny
of the great unoccupied regions of the
northern half of North America is %
lie wholly in the hands of the people
who are yet to inhabit and develop
that land of possible wheat production
and of mineral wealth.
When any one of the districts from
Manitoba westward or northward may
choose to seek admission as a state
in the American union, the ties that
bind it, through the British North
America act, to the Canadian domin-
ion will be as ropes of sand. Mean
while, there is just now a fervor Chat
in due time sound economic consider
atoms will abate) for building short
line railroads to the Hudson bay, in
order to ship wheat to England by a
route that is icebound more than half
Of each year. An infinitely better sold
ton for Canada's economic problems
Is that which Gov. Cummins advo-
cates-namely. an open market in the
United States for all the natural n
agricultural products of Canada, in re-
turn for large favors in the Canadian
market for American manufactured
goods. Canada is in danger OF Grip
ping her resources-and all to no
avaiI-in her eagerness to build rail
roads in the wrong direction, with a
view to rendering herself dependent
upon a Transatlantic market.

SUNDAY BALL GAMES.
New York Police missioner
Makes Six Test Arrests.


Makes Six Test Arrests.
NEW YORK, April 25.-Whether the
| playing of baseball games in Greater
New York on Sunday is Illegal is to be
decided in a test case, the first step in
which vas taken yesterday when, act
ing under instructions issued by Police
commissioner McAdoo, the police ar
rested three players and three sellers
Of score cards on the grounds of the
Brooklyn Baseball club. Washington
park, Brooklyn. Last Friday Commits
sioner McAGoO stated that he would
not permit the playing of games in
Manhattan, but that lie would allow
such contests at Washington park,
Brooklyn, and Ridgewood park, in the
borough of Queens.
The Washington park and Ridge
wood park grounds are situated in
sparsely inhabited districts, and Mr..
McAdoo contended that the playing of
Sunday games there did not interfere
with the inhabitants of those locali-
ties. The commissioner, however, is
sued instructions to the police officers
in Brooklyn and Queens to arrest in
good faith any persons offering score
cards or programmes for sale on the
playing grounds, which he had pre-
viously exempted, and also to arrest
the persons whom the police deemed
to be the most conspicuous actors in
the playing of games, so that the law
might be tested, whether programmes
were sold or not.
Nearly $4,000 persons assembled at
the Brooklyn clubs grounds to see a
Sunday championship game between
the Brooklyn and Philadelphia Nation
al league clubs. Before the game be-
gan three vendors of score cards were
arrested by policemen in plain clothes.
AS soon as Frank Roth of the Ph.lGlei-
phia nine had struck the secoGI BAH
pitched by Poole of the local team
Police Captain White and four detec-
tives walked out upon the diamond and
placed Roth and Poole as we'll as
Catcher Jacklitsch of the home team
under arrest.
h the game was interrupted some
OF the onlookers Missed the officers, but
a new battery was substituted by the
brooklyn club management, and the
game went on as if nothing out of the
ordinary had happened. The big crowd
'vas very orderly all through the con
test, ana there was not a semblance Of
discomfort shown by the spectators aft
er the brief interruption.
The six prisoners were taken to the
Butler street police station, where the
players We're charged with violating
section 267 of the penal code, and the
score card sellers were charged with a
violation of section 265.
All six were admitted to bail in the
sum of $500 each, which was furnished
Immediately, and they will have a
