WINTER LEAGUE.
HOLDS MEETING

The Winter Baseball League had a
meeting last night and made several
changes in the bylaws, the most i'm
portant being the insertion of a pro-
vision whereby, when a team signs
with any league, an official list of the
members of it is sent to the various
captains of mines, and no team and no
player in the league is permitted to
play with any other league while be-
longing to this one.
A committee on schedule was ap-
pointed, of which Charles Jones was
made chairman.
The Makfki club withdrew in favor
of the club from the Lusitana Athletic
Club.
The Stars withdrew in favor of the
team from the Twilight Athletic Club.

TURN KICkERS

With the score 10 to 4 at the end of
the first half the junior basketball
match between the Lei Lehuas and the
Palamas, on Thursday night, broke up
in row over the rules. Each team
had been accustomed to different styles
of playing and the referee could not in
terpret between them to suit. At the
end of the half he threw up his job, at
which the Palamas decided also to quit.
The game was being played in the Y.

FINISH OF a
GREAT JOCKEY
How "Tod" Sloan Went
the Pace TO Per-
dition.

The news comes from New York
says the Kansas City Journal, that
Tod" Sloan. the once famous jockey
is a bankrupt and with a charge to
face of unlawfully spending $500 be-
longing to his manager. Besides this
he is too i'll to stand his trial, and con-
fesses that he is completely down and
out" While this information is not at
all surprising, ii IS interesting in its
way, as Sloan has been in obscurity
so long that the general spor ting world
viii regard it as real news.
The career of the Indiana jockey is
the story of the rise and fan OF a
sport" The same story with slight
notifications might belong to any one
of half hundred successful prize
fighters. wrestlers and pony riders. As
sloan was at the pinnacle of his pro-
fessfon--if pounding horses over q race
course may be so dignifed-his down
fall is all the more conspfcuoas, IN his
ignorance. egotisna and dull witted-
ness. this jockey yielded readily 10
temptations that come to the success
ful panderer to sporting institutions.
Tod" was an easy mark" and he
has gone the way of an iHustrious line
OF predecessors.
The little jockey should not be CEN
sured too severely for his shortcom-
ings His education was nil and his
moral surroundings less. For years he
was employed about race horses and
finally blossoned out as a rider, and,
although he was a failure for fully two
years. he managed to strike happily
on a phase of the art which made him
famous From that time on his career
was dizzying. It was said that ne
made 100000 year while riding for
Whitney, and later he astonished En-
gland with his winnings. He found
favor with the greatest horsemen of
Europe. and rode for a season as the
first jockey for H. r. II. the Prince
of Wales. In France he was also sue
cessful. But this did not last long.
Because of certain charges OF violating
the rules he was out.aWed from every
track in France and England. Return
ing TO this country, he tried in vain
to get employment. Although he had
made several hundreds of thousands of
dollars in the saddle. he spent with a
lavish hand and seldom iE3iciously.
He lived in ridiculous extravaganza and
threw money away. He dressed In an
ultra fashionable manner that was
idiotic. His antics in the dining rooms
Of Europe and America we're sean
dalous. and in almost every Imaginable
way he proved mis- mental incompe-
tency. Thoroughly disliked by all who
We're associated with him, he vas in

dealings with others.
Bat Sloan has gone the way of the
sport" The saloon or the cheap stage
has claimed most Of these gentry, and
those who are not found there are
humble followers as vagahond hangers
on IN the encourages OF the present day
sporting stars, who themselves are
destined 20 travel the same route. The
glitter Of success turns the head Of
the average sport very easily lie
succunbs to the glamor and the fleet

too soon finds his finish in the fame
Of dissipation. It is the inevitable

THE WORK OF RELIEF

Nothing could more forcibly illustrate
the resources and organizing efficiency
of the twentieth century world than the
manner in which the people Of this cOun-
try are meeting the earthquake emer-
gency in San Francisco. In the absence
of modern means Of communication the
consequences of such a catastrophe
would be even more terrible than the
immediate destruction of property and
life, tremendous as that has been. In
all great historic disasters Of the same
character the direst effects have been
the famine and pestilence which follows
in their wake to make the fate of those
whom summary destruction overlook
seem merciful in comparison with that
Of those who survived only to fall vic
time of more lingering horrors.
But the earthquake prostrating a
great city and instantly depriving its
hundreds Of thousands of inhabitants Of
shelter, food and all ordinary means of
subsistence, was not more swift than
the message that carried the tidings Of
calamity from one end of the country
TO the other. And the flames had
hardly begun to complete the vast ruin
before every resource of private and
public benevolence, every power and
facility of social organization was
brought into play to relieve and rescue
the sufferers. The railroad and the
telegraph bring them almost within
arms reach of the sympathetic people
Of the whole country.
Yet to collect from the thousands Of
cities and towns the food, clothing and
means Of shelter, to transport these
things across the continent, to distribute
them to the multitude in need. and TO
do all this in time to relieve them of
hunger and suffering is an enormous
task 1t is not possible to meet every
want, but everything that is possible
is being and will be done. Organizing
capacity, employed to the utmost to
meet this sudden emergency, is accom-
plishing feats that are little short of
miraculous.
The basis of system at once furnished
by the regular army and local authori-
ties at San Francisco is already being
rapidly extended with outside eo-opera-
ton, and in an amazingly short time
the supplies now pouring in from all
quarters will reach the needy with GER
tainty and regularity. Such a rescue
could not have happened in any other
age A century ago a like disaster
would have meant unacceptable death by
hunger and disease to unnumbered thou
sands who will now be saved.

Is 1T SOCIALISTIC9

1t is not surprising that President
Roosevelts suggestion of a federal in
heritance tax as means of solving
some of 1.-The problems connected with
the amassing Of enormous fortunes and
the use of those fortunes, both cor
porate and individual, in business"
should be bitterly denounced as $50
ciallstic" by some of his critics. But
the suggestion is in fact neither
soclalistic nor novel. but on the con-
trary, has been considered and acted
upon in one form or another by our own
people and by other highly civilized
people who at the same time reject
socialism. 1t always has encountered
opposition and denunciation from the
same interests which now regard the
presidents proposition as so offensive.
Government has always drawn a
broad distinction between the right TO
control of property by the living pos
SCISSOR and the right to control it after
death. The distinction is substantial
and essential, and many of the laws
which safeguard most Importantly social
well being are based upon this distinc
ton. The presidents suggestion is not
to be compared in radicalism to the
changes which were effected in this
country when entails and primogeniturc
were abolished And those far-reaching
reforms were mild in contrast with the
earlier great change whereby the grip
of the dead hand through trusts or per-
petual corporations was broken by Eng
lish law from vast aggregations of
wealth swollen beyond all healthy
limits" although their original purpose
was benevolent and religious.
The history of our law for centuries
is a progressive and conspicuous denial
of the right of the individual to con.
troll after death property, either in great
or In small amounts, against the IL.
terests of living society. But every such
denial has been resisted by precisely
the same influences which are sure to
resist a national inheritance tax. Yet
it is not easy to see why there shout
be such vehement denunciation Of the
national application Of principle which
is in actual use in many of the states
and which TO limited extent has even
been embodied heretofore in the federal
laws.
That there is growing menace in the
transmission of enormously overgrowr
! fortunes is a fact that is being more
clearly perceived all the time. and the
evil has been rapidly aggravated by the
extension of the powers and uses of in
! corporation. 1t is an emergency tina
society will have to deal with, and i
will not be prevented by the mere or!
Of Socialism" which any effort to solv,
these problems would have to meet
1t would be more pertinent for thos
who are so ready with that word t.
propose a more effective remedy.

SAN FRANoIso0s FIRE INSURANCE

SAN FRANCISCOS FIRE INSURANCE.
1t is too soon to estimate nearer than
within the most general outlines the
property losses in San Francisco, and
the means of rebuilding the city. The
commingling of the worst effects of
earthquake and fire throws some doubt
upon the amount of insurance that will
be available. Where there has been
great disaster from fire alone. the cal.
culation is much simpler, involving the
amount of insurance and the resources
of the insurance companies.
|. The vital point of course is promptl-
nude Of settlement. and It may be as
sumed that the companies will leave
nothing undone to ascertain speedily
and place at the disposal of the property
owners the amounts that are to be paid
Even less amount if promptly set
tied and forthcoming would be of far
greater assistance than money paid after
long uncertainty and delay. The same
| impulse to which the whole country
responds in rendering quick aid may
be counted on TO move the insurance
companies to diligence in settlement.
Likewise the indications among in
surance authorities of spirit to make
liberal settlement will be universally
applauded. From any point of view
the burden that will fall upon the COM
panies is tremendous, but if ever there
was a calamity calling for the ex.
haustion Of every insurance resource il
is the loss that has befallen San Fran.
cisco. In substantial way the whole
country is voluntarily assessing itself to
repair the loss and to meet the more
immediate and pressing necessities OF
the case.
So sweeping and entire has been the
destruction that all possible means Of
rebuilding viii be little enough. Thu
city will be rebuilt, and its people mr.,
already bravely and with characteristic,
American energy beginning to address,
themselves to that task, and it is up t.
the insurance companies in the fulIes
sense to do their duty.

ALESSoY FOR BUILDERS.

The disaster at San Francisco teaches
that while no foresight can guard
against damage by earthquake, the re-
sisting powers of structural buildings
to fire depend largely upon material and
methods. AS i'm the great Baltimore
fire, so in the San Francisco fire. GER
tain types of buildings seem 10 have
withstood the flames much more sue
cessfully than others. A general con
fagration sweeps all before it. but the
ordinary fire in large city follows the
lines Of least resistance and eats up
first the fiimsiest finder boxes as distin-
guished from buildings Of substantial
construction.
Omaha, which is even now in the
midst of a yeritable building boom,
should take heed OF these warnings to
strengthen its building regulations and
insist upon strict enforcement of them.
! The department of building inspection
I'm this and other growing cities is al
ready one OF the most important
branches Of municipal government and
1 promises to become more and more i'm.
1 portant as time goes ON. Adequate and
thorough inspection of building con
suuctiOn is absolutely necessary for the
protection Of both life and property and
the constant need of a competent and
fearless inspection must be impressed
stronger and stronger upon the public
in the light Of successive catastrophes
