Thousands are killed every year by
being crushed in elevators, torn by ma
chnery or run over by vehicles, but
every day in the year some fools. will
take the most desperate chances with
elevators, machinery or vehicles. Just
think Of the appalling list Of fatalities
caused every year by our idiotic meth.
od Of celebrating the Fourth Of July;
think Of tho hundreds Of fools drowned
every year because they insisted in
going into deep water without being
able TO swim; think Of tho scores killed
every year by guns that were supposed
10 be not loaded. IL would not be so
bad IL tho recklessness Of individuals
would endanger their lives alone. But
that is not always the case. In many
cases such persons are reckless with
the lives Of other persons, as is tho
case Of the switchman Of the Elevated
road, who left his post during the rush
hour aud, through his carelessness
caused terrible accident. 1t seems
that an example should be made Of
persons whose recklessness causes loss
Of life or injury to others. II may
not altogether stop others from taking
chances but may have at least some
beneficial effect.

About the middle Of November there
will be held in this city one Of the
most important religious gatherings
that ever met in this part of the
country. The meeting will be known
officially as the Inter. Church confer
ence on federation, and will hold its
first session in Carnegie hall on Novem.
Der 10. It viii be the first conference
in the religious history Of the United
States to which delegates have been
named officially by the various Pro-
testant denominations. Previous joint
conferences on missions and other
topics have been unofficial in charac-
ter. The conference will, in no sense
mean an attempt to bring tho various
religious bodies Of the country into or.
ganic union. All that the leaders hope
is that the conference may create a
permanent organization Of the churches,
which will bring them into better and

Typhoid fever is still prevailing in
this city, particularly in Brooklyn, but
the backbone Of the epidemic seems to
be broken and the health authorities
are confident Of their ability 10 control
the spread Of the disease. An inves-
tigation has shown that the water sup
ply Of Brooklyn is contaminated to a
dangerous degree and the health de-
partment advises to the citizens to
boil the water before they use it for
drinking purposes.

>Reeklessness is one Of the most pro-
nouneed American characteristics. To
some extent the human race every
where is inclined 20 be reckless, but
nowhere is this tendency so strongly
developed as in this country. Perhaps
90 per cent Of the accidents which
happen every year are, to a certain
extent, attributable to reeklessness.
The American will take chances, fro
quently desperate chances. 1t Is true,
we are surrounded by dangers on every
side and at all times and 1t Is also true
the familiarity with dangers breeds
contempt and leads to Eeeklessness.

II woul be interesting 10 know what
effect the interesting disclosures in the
insurance investigation will have on
the insurance business. The testimony
diseloses an almost incredible corrup-
tion in the management Of certain in
suranee companies. 1t scenes that the
interests Of the policy holders are abb
solutely without protection against tho
dishonesty and reeklessness Of the d.
rectors and officers There seem TO be
no laws in existence to prevent such
mismanagement and the policy holders
can do nothing but pay and trust TO
luck. The disclosures by this inyesti-
cation have opened the eyes Of the
public, however, and it is to be expect
ed that an energetic demand for the
passage Of laws will be made that will
enable the state or the federal govern
ment TO exercise control over the man
agement Of insurance companies.

One very common mistake is in refer
ence 70 the events which the a. y. l.
recognizes and over which it claims
Jurisdiction The A a. L. claims juris-
diction oyer the following:
Basketball. Pole vaulting.
billiards Putting the shot and
Boxing throwing the discus,
Fencing hammer & weights.
Cymna sites. Running
Handball swimming
Hurdle racing. Tugs OF war.
Jumping. waking
Lacrosse NieSLIIiiS-
1t is important to note that the A. a.
L, In addition. recognizes any kind OF
athletic event or sport, so that a man
must not compete with n professional
ir. shooting. bowling, football, baseball.
etc If he does, he puts himself out OF
the amateur game entirely
Pro. in One, Pro. in All.
Baseball and football have been the
cause Of more expulsions than all other
forms of sport put together as it is
the prevailing opinion that the y. a.
/. pays no attention 10 such events, but
the union believes man is a profes-
sionaI in all forms OF sports If he is in
one.
A system OF registering has been
adoptcd BY the \. A L, governed
bv set of rules which also di-
rects how such rules shall be enforced
by the registration committee, how
trials shall be conducted. and what pun
ishmcnt shall be imposed.
These rules are printed in fun on the
back of entrance blanks. and are IN
corporated in the annual A. A. l. book,
but 1t is 4 fact that many athletes nave
never read them carefully. ana even
some managers OF meets could not stand
a close QuizzinS upon them. They are
too long for reproduction in this article
but I wish TO draw special attention 10
the one which provides that the fol
lowing. among other things, shall be
considered as unfair dealing and IN
gentlemanly conduct:
Suppression OF true figures from the
Handicapped: the use of obscene or pro-
fame language on the track or field, or
any other act which tends to disturb
or obstruct n competition.
All athletes should study and ponder
,;uon the regulations concerning the sus-
Densicn or disqualification OF athletes.
II this were done more generally there
would be less of the needless plunGing
into difficulties and attempts 10 carry
through enterprises which are from the
very first doomed TO failure or the Sc
we're punishment of the participants.
These provisions are as follows:
Suspensions or Disqualification
ANY person competing or exhibiting
a. open sports. or any athletic entertain
ment that is not given under the sane
tion of the Amateur Athletic Union or
Of one of its allied members. shall there
by disquallfy himself from competing at
