Manager Cautilon, OF the Washington
club, asserted most positively this morn
ing that the New York American
League team had been using a system
of tipping of battery signals for some
time. and that Harry Tuthil, trainer
for the Detroit team, had discovered
and cCnfscated the apparatus.
CanulICn said he did not know how
long the trick had been worked, but he
had come TO the conclusion something
was wrong and switched his signals so
much that the HIghlanders could not
profit by their great idea. The fact that
Jennings and Tuthill are keeping eX-
ceedincly quiet about the matter. ana
even deny that they uncarthed the ma
terial for scandal is explained by Can
tiIIon on the ground that Frank J.
Navin. president of the Detroit club,
and Frank Farrell, owner of the New
York club, are close personal and base
ball allies, and that Jennings Is trying
to protect his employers friend.
Another reason for their silence might
be that they think it TO the best inter
asts of the game at large simply TO
scotch the scheme and say nothing
about il i'm public sfor fear the integrity
Of professional baseball might suffer in
Ahe public mind. II ;his is their atti-
tudc it would be well for them TO re-
member thar star chamber proceedings
and deliberate smotherinE Of scandals
have done as much TO injurc horse rae
ing in the United States as anything
else. Nobody believes that there is
aught wrong with professional ball on
the whole, but IL would he only human
for some Of the men in IL 20 60 beyond
the pale and employ inegitimate meth
DDS now and then. and that is what
those who have the real interests Of the
sport at heart should bear in mind
At any rate. some OF the Philadelphia
and other papers are carrying the story
today. and ID VIII soon De discussed on
all sides. That being the case. the
president OF the American Leag
should hustle to New York and take
personal and immediate control Of the
investigation while the thing is hot.

Persian Minister'S Reception.

enj Joy real treat by calling at his "at
home" days. Etiquette permits wom-

hospitable intentions. Gen. Morteza
Khan lives in fine style in the aristo.
cratic West end, and for the present
the former Florence Breedon of Bos-
ton, now the wife of Mira Khan, Per-
sian consul general, is acting as hos
tess in the Persian legation. Recep-
ton days are made known by a quaint
invitation, sometimes in Persian script
and often in verse. Morteza Khan is
a man of letters as well as a genial
host. The lower floor Of the legation
is ready for receptions and several
Persian students furnish the most al
Turing music on odd-looking instru-
ments. The refreshments are another
attraction. Tea which perfumes the
entire room is served in tall silver
goblets, and with it comes combined
cake and candy made of Persian
honey. Conserved fruit and nuts high
1y spiced and perfumed, with cakes
hard as rock, but tasty when one can

the hair standing up from the head at
length of seven inches or more. It
was trimmed with wonderful regulari-

The hair was CREASED with cocoanut
oil and painted red. At distance it
looked like a rising sum-"
Another type of the inhabitants who
wear their hair in an unusual fashion
was described by DR.. Dorsey.
Starting from the forehead he
said, "the hair is brushed back over
the scalp and hangs down to the
waist. 1t is perfect NASSAU intri-

combed and it was impossible to run
the fingers through it. At a distance
it looks like a cap with the visor

has at last found her fate, and her

Switzerland, the countess attempted
perilous climb and found herself in

No reputable firm will publish a
dubious book for pay. It puts the
honor of it's name too high. But there
are lots of predatory publishers, both

only do they publish, but they fix over
manuscripts, and this fixing, if the pay
is high enough, includes a generous

business, in England at least, aside
from the personal distastefulness of it

move is now on foot among a number
Of the leading London book producers
to curtail their output greatly. In
stead Of sending out a flood of indif-
