of the jails the prisoners are not sep
arated. and as a result it is said they
lead idle and frequently immoral lives

PRACTICE IS SNAPPY
EarIham College Has Several
Strong Basket Ball
Players.
HARD TASK FOR THE COACH
By ort.

Yesterday Coach Holmes, of the
Earlham basket ball team, gave the
varsity candidates a hard workout
and was greatly pleased with the snap
Ply practice engaged in. He has not
yet picked the team, but states "the
best men will get the places. The
opening game of theseason will be in
this city with State Normal on Janu-
ary 10, and by that time the team will
be in fine shape.
Holmes had Rees and Hotchkiss
playing forwards and both men put a
snappy, aggressive game. They will
very probably be selected for these po-
sitions. He has been working out
Overman and Lindley at center and it
will be hard work to choose between
these two men as they have both been
playing brilliantly and appear to be
well fitted for the place.
For the two guard positions. Holmes
will undoubtedly choose between H.
Tibbettsy Cornell and H. Furnas lib
belts Is the Whittier college fCalifor-
MAJ star and has been playing sensa-
tionally. He will quite probably, be
one of the two selected. Its going to
be difficult task for Holmes to pick
from the other two candidates.

NO VIOLATION OF
POSTAL REGULATION
Party Writing Whitecap Letter
Cannot Be Reached by
Government,
THREATS CAN BE SENT
AS LONG AS NO BLAckMAllING
is ATTEMPTED THERE is NO
VIOLATION, HOLD POSTAL OF
FICERS.

The postal authorities will take no
steps TO investigate who were the par
ties responsible for the threatening
letters recently sent to Nate Parker
and William Skinner of Economy. One
of these letters ordered Skinner to
leave town within three days under
penalty of receiving a visit from
whitecaps. The letter TO Parker or
dered him to compel Skinner to leave
his hotel within three days or the
building would be rocked"
The letter received by Parker was
examined by Post Office Inspectors
Fletcher and Parker and Deputy Unit
ed States Attorney Nichold. All of
them held that the contents of the let
ter were not in violation of the postal
regulations. They stated that one
person could write to another person
and threaten bodily harm and not vi
olate the law if the letter was sealed,
but if the letter contained any threat
of blackmaIl there would be a viola
ton Of the postal regulations.
1t was at first thought that the
stamp on the envelope containing the
letter to MI Parker was a Cancelled
stamp. This impression was obtain
ed by the fact that the stamp had been
cut from a white envelope and pasted
upon the yellow envelope sent to Par
ker. The postal authorities made an
examination of the stamp under
strong lens and found that it was not
Ope sent to Parker. Such being the
case. no postal regulation was violat-
ed and the postal authorities were
once more baffled in their efforts to
obtain case against the party or par
ties responsible for sending the threat
ening letters to Parker and Skinner.

GIRLS ALLOWED TO
PLAY BASKETBALL
Old High School Ruling Is Ban
iShed.

Prof. Knouff. principal at the Rich
mond high school, believes that girls
should have exercise as we'll as the
boys and as a result the old ruling
against girls organizing basket ball
teams has been abolished and now the
girls have two evenings each week
on which they are allowed to go to
the Garfield gymnasium and play bas-
ket ball. During the last several
years there have been no girls teams.
The girls are chaperoned by one. of
the teachers and the referee and the
umpire are very strict in prohibiting
roughness. In this way they get the
benefit of the good clean sport

Constitutional Convention.

.-. Constitutional Convention o..
There is a good deal of talk right
now to the effect that the coming leg
islature will be asked to adopt a res
olution authorizing the calling of a
constitutional convention for the pur-
pose of making amendments to the
state constitution. A good many of
the members of the Legislature seem to
believe that this plan will be better
than one to have the amendments sub
United to the people at d regular cleo
ton. for the reason that the constitu-
.tion needs amending in several places
and "a convention will enable the, peo-
pie, to discuss and consider these mat
tiers more fully and with greater care
than would be possible during the
heat of political campaign From
several parts of the state there has
come a demand for such a revision of
the constitution. One demand is for
an amendment of the section fixing
the qualification of citizens. In other
| words there is demand for revision
of the naturalization laws of the state
| This comes not only from one party,
but from all pa~ties for they have all
suffered at some time from the ma
nipulation of the illiterate and incom-
petent foreign vote cast by men ille-
gal1y and fraudulently naturalized.
| Just now the principal demand for this
change comes from the democrats who
suffered at the recent election in LAX e
k,,t
stances at other times in the state
when the republicans felt the need of
more strict naturalization laws.
Judicial Changes
Then an effort will be made to
change the judicial system of the
state in some degree. by abolishing the
| Appellate court. and increasing the
humber of judges of the supreme court,
thus making only one court of last re-
| sort instead of two, This is not a
| party matter, either. the demand hav-
ing been voiced recently by Enoch Ho-
! gate. a republican. dean of the Indiana
University law school, and seconded
| by many of the democratic members
of the legislature. who were here this
week for their love feast.
| Specter Looms Up.
But there is one specter that looms
up in the proposition 10 call a consti-
tutional convention and that is the
| fear of some that an amendment might
| be put through for state wide and per-
manent prohibition of the liquor traf-
| fic, OF course, the. Prohibitionists
and the Anti-Saloon people will make
a desperate effort to have such a pro-
| vision included in the new constitution,
and the wild sweep of the temperance
| wave in this stsse in the last few years
might enable them to bring about such
a result Naturally. the proposition
| would have the vigorous opposition of
! the liquor and liberal forces of the
| state. but whether they could meet the
fight that would DE made by the other
side is Il question. This one fact
alone may defeat the plan to hold such
convention, but it is believed that ex-
eept for this the convention will be
called, There is no question but that
the brewers will be strong in the COM

Griffith will have a hard time in
getting Mike Mowrey. the sorreltop-
ped infielder of the Reds, to play for
his team next year. Mowrey has a
grievance against Hermann for the
poor treatment he received from the
club last year. Mike either wants to
be let out or sold to another National
league club. If Griff can't get Now
rey to play for him he will probably
trade him to ST. Louis for pitcher.
Clark Griffith, the ex-Highlanders'
manager, certainly has many friends
and they were greatly pleased when
they learned that he had at last sign
ed a contract with the Reds. He has
lot of good material TO mold into a
champ ionship team in Redland, and it
would not be surprising if the Cincin-
natl team finished in the first divis-
ion next season.
