COMPULSORY RATHI\G.

An Omaha police justice has estab-
lShed a precedent for procedure in the
minor courts. In doing he may
have raised questions about personal
but he has made the police court IA
nous and has set up his town of Oma-
ha as model in the municipal ad-
vancement of science.
A woman was arraigned on a petty
charge. She was extremely dirty and
squalid' When did you wash your
face LAST" the justice asked. 1t was
about three months ago" she replied.
a bath every day for twenty days,
that the mandate be properly carried
out"
If the circuit court We're a police
court and Omaha We're Boston, such a
sentence would not be startling: pro-
vided the people washed only once in
three months in Boston and provided
the circuit court We're confronted with
such defendants. But in Omaha, IN the
middle west. and in an ordinary pO-
lice court? 1t is true. for the dispatch
says so.
The question as to the right of po-
lice justice to sentence prisoner to
| twenty baths may be raised. 1t is al
infringement on personal liberty. 1t is
questionable whether a person who has
not bathed for three months could
stand a bath a day for twenty consecu-
tive days. In reply it may be said tina,
failure to battle is contempt Of court
And moreover, why shouldn't courts
be conducted in accordance with the
dicta of science and hygiene? In fact
it might be we'll to have a bath in con-
Injection with every police court.

BATTLEsHIP RHODE ISLAND.
The Vessel Was Launched at Quincy
Mass, at Midnight.

Quincy, Mass, May 18.-There wers
no formal ceremonies attending the
launching of the battleship Rhode Is
land Tuesday. Mrs. F. c. Dumaine
wife OF one of the directors of the
Fore River Co., christened the vessel
Arrangements had been made for the
launching to take place April 80, but
a strike Of mechanics at the ship yard
necessitated a postpenement. The
company endeavored to make the de
lay as brief as possible, quietly plan.
ned to bring off the event this week,
if possible, but no announcement was
made in advance of the day of which
it was to take place.
A crew OF workmen was brought
from Groton, Ct, to assist in the
launching on account of the lack OF
skilled workmen at the yard, due to
the strike. No interference was Of
fered by any of the strikers.
The battleship Rhode Island was
floated at the last of the flood tide al
midnight. She is apparently 0nin'
jured.
No attempt was made to float the
battleship during the day, owing to
the ten-foot drop in the tide, but about
an hour before high water Tuesday
night six tugs took hold and succeeded
in pulling the big vessel off the float
into the basin.

TO THE POOLROOMS.
The Western Union DiScontinues
Racing Reports.
Small Concerns in New York Close
The Larger Ones Profess Them
selves Well Pleased With Tele-
graph Company's Action.

New York, May 19.-Poolroom men
here profess themselves as we'll pleas
ed with Wednesdays action of the
Western Union Telegraph Co., in sup
plementing the order of Tuesday by
disseminating the collection and dis
tribution of horse racing reports at
Chicago, Atlanta and San Francisco
as well as at New York
While the poolroom proprietors in
New York have made money on the
Morris Park races, they are said to
have lost almost without exception on
western races. So long as reports
were received from the west, the pool
room men say, they had to take bets,
though they did not want them. Now
that the Western Union service from
the western tracks has been cut off,
only bets on the results at Morris Park
are being taken. AS result Wednes-
days profits to the poolFooms are said
to have increased. Several of the big
poolrooms downtown, however, did
not fare so we'll as the smaller places
and closed Wednesday afternoon, as
their patrons were afraid to pay out
big bets on information received by
telephone. AS soon as arrangements
have been made to pay bets on the
day after the races, instead of after
each race, these rooms, it is SAID will
resume business.
The only other apparent result We'd
nesday of the cutting off of Geographic
reports was that books were closed
much earlier than usual before each
race.
District Attorney Jerome, when in
formed of the action of President
Clowry, issued statement in which
he declared that he was satisfied that
so far as the directors of the Western
Union Co. are concerned, this action is
fair and honorable, and is intended to
accomplish what the authorities of this
city would have been probably unable
to accomplish without their action.
"My own interest in the matter" he
said, 'has been more because Of the
large moral question involved than
because of any narrow technical GRIM
inality If a great corporation is will
ing to sacrifice large profits which it
perhaps could continue to make with
out being amenable to law, because
to make such profits would be an i'm
moral thing, we have had an illustra-
ton Of corporate morality entirely I'M
expected and the influence for good Of
which may be incalculable."
San Francisco, May 19.-In accord
ance With instructions received from
Col. Robert Clowry, president and gen
eral manager of the Western Union
Telegraph Co., the collection and dis
tribution of race track reports was
promptly discontinued Wednesday at
the following points on the company's
Pacific division: Sausalito, Sacrament
to- Los Angeles, Seattle and Tacoma
and Spokane. These are the only
places in the division which have been
receiving racing news over the West
ern Union wires.

strip, arrived in this city Tuesday to
assume his duties. He was met by a
number Of officials and a warm well
come was given him An address was
presented to Gen. Davis. The follow
ing is the substance of the address:
THE time has come when talk has
ceased to be a virtue. The prolonged
canal controversy has been fought to
finish and decided by the irresistible
logic of spot, cash. The time has also
come when the struggle has been
transferred from the forum to the
field, from the capital to the jungle
The result is destined to be an indus
trial triumph-the greatest the world

THE NEGRO QUESTION.
The Establishment of Social Centers
in Large Cities Suggested.

Chicago, May 19.-The establish
ment of centers in all large American
cities on the plan of social settlements
was offered as a solution for the Negro
question at Wednesdays session of the
Western Unitarian conference. The
proposition, which was received with
much favor, was discussed at length
by the delegates present. 1t was ar
gued that to meet the race question
in a just manner it must be done with
organized kindness. The establish
ment of centers along the plans of So
cial settlements it was declared would
place the race question upon a wise
civic basis and bridge over the differ
ences between the cOlored race with
common sense.
