REFORM IN BASE RUNNING.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The distressing accounts frequently made
public through daily papers of ball players coming
in collision upon the bases. other than the first
base. would to render II feasible TO adopt
changes IN the rules TO BILE the players to make
these three bases without being liable to such
painful accidents. Let quote from one OF your
recent published dispatches from ST. Louis:
The Giants third bssernan was badly spiked
on the hand by Barry IN the first inning of the
game and the contest had to be stopped fifteen
minutes until the injury dressed"
This is but sample OF many similar accidents
taking place upon the bases other than the first
My own son brought home in ambulance
with his knees thrown out, caused by his sud
denly stopping to make the second bag" Why
can it not be arranged for the players to make all
their bases the first tinle-in the same manner in
which they make tire first base? I have talked
with come old ball players. and asked this ques-
ton and answer has been given, and have
simply added, think 1t over My idea is TO adopt
such rules that both the and the play
tnc the base shall be well protected the
second. third and home bases as they are on the
first and believe such plan will result in faster
ball playing and certainly fewer accidents.
There quite a number Of questions which
might be asked regarding such a change. but
do not wish TO take up your valuable space in
discussing them The point raise is this. cannot
the powers that be thrash this whole subject out
with view to cutting down the unfortunate acci-
dents so constantly occurring My interest in the
game Of baseball is the only reason for present
ing this communication for publicity through your

SAYS ITALIANS ARE FOR TAFT.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1 have no doubt that the majority OF 1tai-
ian citizens In this country favorable to the
nomination of William Howard TAFT for President
of the United States. In the last score years the
Italians who have the honor Of enjoying American
citizenship have come to understand that the only
way in which they better their condition Is
to bring about respect for the Italian ernigrant
who is to share In the future political movements
of his adopted country.
For years the Democratic party has lured the
Italian on with promises and has been able to use
him at will but this condition has changed and
the ItaIan-American citizen has awakened to the
fact that he can conditions and increase re-
spect for his views by the power OF his vote.
/ have spoken lately with many prominent 1tal-
fans and they are all for Taft. They know that
Taft is the only man with chance TO be Presi-
dent who is completely free of all prejudice against
race and nationality and who sees in the Italian
no. the "daso" or the small criminal element, but
the man that he has observed at work all over
America and in Panama from broad point Of
view Taft has gone among the Italians at work
and at rest kindly and simple hammered. asking
questions with interest and showing knowledge
Of their conditions and needs
This feeling for Secretary Taft reaches even the
mother country Daily / receive newspapers and
periodicals In which his candidacy is favored Ihis
means much to the Itaian-American who retains
his love for Italy mother and the United
States wife.
Taft Will be a President without favor and with
ou. prejudice serving the interests Of rich and
poor one and ALL native and adopted son, and that
is why the Italian citizen is for him

ployrrent by differences in hours and wasesf Is
some work necessarily slavery Some question
might be raised the possibility of pull or

NEED OF CLEANER STREETS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have been regular reader of your valued
paper for at least twenty-five years. and its edi
torials have been. rIle-to my way OF think
ing-exceptonally strong and cogent the right
side Of all the live issues that have come UP dur
gave me more pleasure and satisfaction than that
in this mornings issue under the heading of
"Brea king Nasty Habit" and 1t handles the sub
ject in a mastery and sensible manner
MY righteous soul has been long and sorely vexed
with the almost utter disregard for order and
cleanliness shown by the general public and. for
that matter, by those from whom better things
might be expected, and I indeed glad that the
matter has at last been vigorously taken up by
Mr. Hornaday as director of the Geological Park.
In way this Is to make a vast change for
the better-that IS, by making the offender sub
ject, in the first instance TO caution or repri-
rnand (as the case may call for), and If he again
wilfully transgresses giving suitable punishment.
I am more than pleased that The Tribune is lend
ing it's powerful aid In secondng his efforts IN the
direction of cleaner and. therefore. more enjoy
able and healttlful, parks and streets
The itterng of public places with all
sorts of rubbish, papers, fruit skins, peanut shells
and. in fact. "any old thing has long been cry
ing evil, and It Is high time the nuisance should
be done away with, or. at any rate greatly abated
If the matter is vigorously pushed by the proper
authorities will be very short time before
a marked change for the better Will seen. Then
every lover OF decency and good order will re
joice and be glad" May the movement now start
ed by Mr.. Hornaday and so ably supported by
your strong and able journal grow with rapid
strides until the time shall come when our parks
and thoroughfares. instead of being, they are
now IN many spots. eyesores and blernishes, will
be a Joy and pleasure 10 the beholder.

THE MoHoNK PEACE CONFERENCE,

TO The Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I read the resolutions adopted at the old
Mohonk peace conference with considerable dis
appointment The people who gather year in and
year out at Mohonk supposedly the daring
spirits on the subject Of international peace II
the vanguard Of the peace thought is to be seen
anywhere. surely We may expect to see It there;
but IN vain we look for any positive declaration by
the recent conference Not word In those
resolutions TO stimulate public opinion toward
peace
1t is a shame that three hundred persons who are
most interested in this subject should meet and
say nothing TO influence public opinion It is great
disappointment that nothing positive has been ac-
cornpnshed by the recent conference. War ex-
pense is an assessment which pay other ma
tons for fear Of them The money is lost to US
and Is no gain to them. If Congress should ap-
proprtste one year amount equivalent to two
batueships, so0Ocno establishing schoa rships in
American universities free certain number Of
students from each of the larger nations of the
earth there would be programme which would
tend more effectively than armament to promote
the worlds peace.
If there could be scattered in American unfvers-
Ties 500 or 1000 young every year. sent here
by say twenty-five different governments there
tend nightly 10 the preservation of the world g
peace. Some year let Congress take this horn of
the dilemma and cut out two vessels and establish
these scholarships forever. F. R CONANT

intrusion as a misdemeanor-which is punishable
by one years imprisonment AS ii was. he fined
them $40 each-the limit under the complaint.
This is the third effort of the company TO do

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: 1t is desired gratefully acknowledge, on
behalf Of the feeble minded and epileptic wards
OF the state. the prompt and enectuaI support
which has been given to the effort to an
adequate site for the new Haverstraw colony.
When commission appointed act for

small acreage would suffice The commissions IN
Vestgations into the extent Of the need for Gus
todiai care carried by authority of the same
act which empowered It to select aO-acre site
revealed a demand for relief greatly beyond the
utmost capacities to which the existing institu-
lions could be stretched. Knowing the full facts.
the commission would have been false to the duty
intrusted TO it had it proceeded TO an
acreage obviously inadequate meet the immedi-
ate and urgent requirements.
Ihere was no question of politics Ill will in
the attitude of the Legislature, but simply the
usual pressure from ell side for appropriations in
