AS for the general success OF the
amateur bali demonstration. there Is
no argument permissible. Never be-
fore has the majesty OF the great ma
tional game been SO effectively pres
ented In pictorial form. Spanning a
full half-century those paraders wound
their way across the field. about 5000
strong. while nearly 10000 more en-
thusiasts cheered them from the
stands and bleachers. as we'll as from
behind the ropes. The whole great
gathering was doing It's formal ooies
ance at the shrine OF the greatest rec
reational spectacle ever invented by
man.

The sight OF so many amateur base
ball players ranging all the way from
three score and ten down 10 -l5 OF
even a. more tender figure. and al
yelling for Detroit. must have diZzied

Confronted with that flag day

championship banners Of 1887 and

Wild Bill Donovan's 1907 reputa-
tion looking them squarely in the
eysbalIs, they meekIy fooled

DIDN'T WORK
ON ONO

The deal that set forth in its tod
ding infancy yesterday to get
Omos scalp came home in hurry,
empty handed and badly battered.
1t seems to have found ONO and
ONO, like the star-spangled banner,
is still there.
That leaves Mayor Moore up in
the air again. ONO still has strong
pledges from most Of the council
men. While the mayors forces
worked on some of the councilmen
with evidences of success for awhile
yesterday, ONO folks got busy and
changed their sentiment immediate
ly thereafter.
81 want it to be fair, square
fight" the mayor explained as his
reason for not doing politics" on
ONO and getting" him in that way
Whether ONO Is ousted or not,
Roy will probably go next Tuesday
when the council meets. John Wet
Zels name will be submitted for
Roy and councilmen generally are
agreed for the change.
One mention of Len Murphy, w.
w. P. man, as a board possibility
was sufficient. He appears to have
passed into eclipse-but the COM
pany has other men.

Young Taft Ready
9 for White House

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Lttle
Charlie Taft is ready to succeed
Quentin Roosevelt as junior repre-
sentative of the white house.
Quentin has put him through a
thorough course of preparation, and
announces Charley will do for the
place.
Quentin has his own ideas on
what kind of chap a presidents
son should be, and refused to en-
dorse the war secretary's son-al-
though they have been fast friends
a long time-mtil the latter con-
scented to join the Y. Nj. c. A.
The persuasion used by Quentin
was overheard by Assistant Secre-
tary Smith of the local Y. NJ. c. A.
you've got to joint" declared
Quentin.
81 haven't got to-" replied young
Taft, land | won't Don't coax me,
Quentin; you know I've got a will
of my own"
well, you Just are" persisted
"Quent." How'd 1t sound If the
people knew that the son of the
next president wasn't goin' to joif.
tn Y. M. c. Az"
This argument looked good to
Charley, and he enrolled his name
without another word.

craft are painted white.
This means housekeeping every
day aboard ship.
From stoke hole to heaven high
truck bluejackets are piped away
every day to do the scrub-lady
stunt.
There are a few thousand line Of
ficers and many thousand sailors
who think that this could be better
expended at gun drill.
The department thinks otherwise
and as the "swivelchar' brigade In
Washington does the thinking for
the navy, ships will continue to be-
painted white and the sailor will
continue to be the man behind the
mop" The ships of every other
navy are painted war color when
placed in commission.
But in other navies the line off,

0'BRIEN A GUTTER
ANO A DEMOCRAT?
WELL NO, NOT YET

In its anxiety to assume immedi-
ate control of the board of public
works the Spokesman-Review this
morning put the resignation of Jack
O'Brien in the hands of Mayor
Moore.
The Review has decided to not
only fire ONO and Roy, but also the
democratic member, whose term ex-
tends another year.
In this 1t neglected to consult
O'Brien, doubtless considering that
unnecessary. O'Brien says he did
not offer his resignation AMI has no
intention to. O'Brien is a demo-
crat. Did you ever hear of a demo-
crat dong anything like that?
A few days ago the Review was
engaged in stroking O'Brien's fur
the right way every day. Now it
demands his head. What has the
Review asked O'Brienl to do that
he has refused to do?
The proposition in regard to the
contractors is simpler. They stnl
persist in Discrimination to advertise
in the Review. OF course they
ought to be hanged. Now a good
word from O'Brien might, etc, etc,

WHITE WARS4IPS MAKE
SAILORS SCRUB WOMEN

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20.-The
fighting ships of the American navy
are still CARRIED in the white swad-
ding clothes designed for the new
navy's first born-the famous White
Squadron.
When the Boston, Baltimore. At
lanta and Chicago were launched
the navy department was so tickled
to death over having four steel
cruisers flying the American flag
that the quartette was painted snow
white, christened the White Squad
ron and sent around the world on a
cruise TO show the naval powers
that the u. S. was ION the way" as
a sea nation.
1t is an impossible task to change
the habits of the department at
Washington. Though there are now
more than a score of great battle
ships, two score cruisers and a
screen of auxiliary ships constitute
ing the navy, all except the torpedo

ACCEPT THE OPEN SHOP
IN INTERESTS Of PEACE
Carmen Secure Immunity From Dis
elimination Against Union Men.

"After some discussion the COM
pany agreed to the wage and other
conditions, but refused to sign any
agreement Several men were call.
ed in about this time. Some were
reprimanded for violating the rules
and some were discharged who be-
lieved that their dismissal was on
account of their being union men.
This, however, Is denied by the
company. Last Saturday the union
held two meetings, one OF the night
and one of the day men. AS re-
suit of those meetings committee
was appointed to wait on Supt. Farr
and find out just where the union
stood with the company.
"Mr. Farr met the committee and
told them that while the company
would not sign an agreement for a
union road, believing that the men
had a right to join the union or not
as they pleased, he would not dis
eliminate against union men, and
that the union men could solicit
their fellow employees to become
members OF the union without in
curing the displeasure of the COM
pany. On the strength of those
statements the committee reported
back to the organization at two we'll
attended meetings of the division
with a recommendation that the
terms of the company be accepted
in good faith and the matter closed.
After a long discussion vote was
finally taken and it was practically
unanimous to accept the report OF
the committee.
The committee was composed OF
George Durand, G. w. White, D.
Burke, E. A. Bell, W. A. Cliff. Mr..
Cornelius will return to his head

CITY engineer HAS
SOME CONTRACTOR
UNDER the SWORD

City Engineer Ralston is drawing
up the plans and specifications Of a
big trouble contract for some city
sidewalk contractor, and incidental
ly the board of works. The base he

more than two weeks old. Already
the cement has passed into the Sc

The name of the contractor and
the work from which the sample
was taken has not been disclosed

to keep still until he ascertains Just
how much cement of this character
has been used. II only an isolated

The possibility Of a strike OF
street carmen against the Traction
company has been dispelleJ by the
union voting to accept the open
shop policy recently inaugurated on
the assurance of restoration OF
their former wage scale and that
there will be no discrimination
against union men or objection to
their soliciting increased member
ship.
The attitude of the union is ex-
pressed in the following official
statement of Richard Cornelius,
member of the executive board of
the international organization. He
says:
"In December last the company
asked the men to accept reduc-
ton of III per cent and in order to
get the men to accept a reduction
in wages it was agreed that the
road should be run as union road.
The men, having in mind the well
fare Of their organization and be-
lieving that as soon as conditions
warranted the wages would be re-
stored, accepted the offer of the
company. The agreement as to the
road being made a union road was
carried out by the company. Two
men who refused to join the union
were discharged. On April Is the
union men decided it was about
time to ask for a readjustment of
wages and drew up an agreement
and submitted 1t to the company in
whichm there was clause calling
for a union road. This was nothing
new as they were then working un-
der union road agreement and
had every right to believe it would
be acceptable to the company.
