New York, June 1.-Bookmakers and other interests in racing consider the de- cision of the court of appeals today as making another loophole in the Hart-Ag- new anti-bettng law. The sheets in question contain entries, scratches, names of jockeys, oVerweights and other infor- mation necessary to bookmakers and bet ters in advance of a race It was con- tended by the authorities that the distri- button was a part and process of book making and therefore a violation of the law, but today's ruling allows John G. Kavanaugh who is official purveyor of advance information at the Jockey club tracks to distribute the sheets unmo- tested as in the days before the passage of the anti-betting legislation in this state

After Molesworth had gone down in the first Ellam was passed. McGtlvray famed, but Raftis smashed long single to right. Neighbors, after Ellam was resting on third, threw tamely to second, and the man with the name like tree tailed. Raftis going to the keystone.
 Affairs then rocked along in routine stride until the eighth when, after Stock dale had famed, Wheat drew his second pass Sentell then flied shortly to right center and neither Molesworth nor Mo- Gilvray caught pop-up that either might have swallowed. On this play Sentell went to third. Rhoton then filed shortly to McGilvray and his return to the plate, bounding highly, passed Kane like a shot. Wheat scored, and a youthful patriot having attempted to aid in the recovery of the ball, Sentell was allowed to score without interference.

BY BILL AK.

A bad bound at the plate cost the Barons what proved to be the winning run yesterday afternoon and the patriot ism of a peanut vender of tender years. who blocked a ball by the touch of his finger, cost another-which went for good measure.
 Score: Birmingham l, Mobile 3.
 The opposing pitchers were Moxie Man uel, late of the White sox,'' and Col. "otes' Stockdale. who. sometime ago fig ured prominently in public print as dar- ing to criticise Manager Babb, whom everyone is TOW criticising; and who, later still, was put on the public mar ket, tagged s400.
 Manuel, it Is true. drew all the hard luck that the evil genius dispenses during one afternoon, but it is probable that stockdale deserved his victory because he was as a whole, steadier.
 Never could he be stung effectively, and when on one occasion a line drive which might have tied up the game went out 1t flew almost direct to an outfielder.
 Hardy In Limeieht.
 The game was without special feature. Hardy. Mobiles backstop, who has al ways done good service in Birmingham, but who elsewhere is described as cratic, drew the plaudits of the multitude when, after a splendid run and headlong dive, he took foul off the stick of Henline.
 Hardy, in other ways, too. figured in the limelight. Elam, in sliding to the plate with the single run credited to the Barons. unloosed several of the hinges in the ankle of the catcher and 1t was feared for a while that a bone had been broken or a joint badly sprained. And hardly had he recovered from this blow when a foul from Kane struck him over the blood bumper and laid him out cold and stark But a Sea Gull hammered his back and a Baron dashed a dipper of water in his phiz, and everything was soon under operation again.
 Both teams scored in the first. Wheat was walked. Sentell hit to Manuel and Wheat was tossed out to Ellam. The blond youth, however, turned one wild to Gygli and Sentell went to second, and then took third on Rhoton's out. And before striking Thornton out Manuel was guilty of wild pitch, and the first run resulting from a base on balls, an error and a wild pitch-was put across the rub Der,

\ REAL INFANT INDUSTRY,

( Benjamin Tillman is the only true
blue protectionist in the Senate. No
body else this session has presented
the case of real infant industry
The South Carolina tea-grower who
raises $4,000 pounds year has to
compete with the pauper labor of
China and Ceylon, which ship their
product free into the United States.
The competition is excessively severe
and Americans are reduced to the
hateful necessity of drinking cheap
foreign-grown tea.
If Senator Aldrich would kindly let
Senator Tillman's friend write his
own tea schedule into the Tariff bill.
as he has some of his own New Eng
land friends, the South Carolina tea
trust would be able to charge any
price that it liked. 1t might soon de-
clare dividends that would make
the Standard OILS look Insignificant
Here are s5,O00,000 of people-a
magnificent home market--and only
one infant tea industry. Here are
millions of acres of fertile land cap
able of cultivation, millions of Amer
lean men ready to cultivate them,
and only one tea plantation in the
whole country Cheap tea, like
cheap clothing, every protectionist
knows to be curse. Shut out for
eign tea by prohibitory duty. and
not only will the South Carolina tea
industry enjoy boom, but every pa
ternal and maternal American
will feel just pride in having nurs-
ed another infant industry. Make
the duty high enough and some day
Senator Tillman's South Carolina
friend may ship tea to China and
undersell the Chinese at home

Mr.. Aldrich has taken considerable
space to state the changes he has
made in the republican tariff bill.
The Washington correspondent for
the New York American probably
comes much nearer the truth than
Mr.. Aldrich's statement does. This
correspondent says that the Aldrich
senate substitute for the Payne tar
iff bill has increased ninety-four
schedules over the house rates and
decreased sixtyfour scedules; also
that the decreases are, in many
cases, restoration substantially OF
the present Dlngley rate.

PORK!

The manner in which some of the
congressman are scrambling for a
piece of the pork out of the protec
tionsts' barrel recalls the story told
by Congressman John Allen of Mis-
sissippi. One of his constituents
had sheep, and whenever a tariff
bill came up this constituent would
write to his congressman and urge
him to keep the tariff on wool. Final
ly letter came. "Bill's dead You
can vote as you please" If the
truth were known 1t would be found
that a good many of the congress
men have been protecting" a few

make the peoples head swim.
1t is three thousand miles long; or
nearly so.
The engineers say it can be made
12 feet deep the year round for $780,
900 n mile.
Mr.. Harriman's railways are worth
nearly $4,000 mile.
The Missouri could carry more
freight If made 12 feet deep than a
hundred railways side by side.
Mr.. Hartman would at once, issue
$20O,00O.0OO in bonds for the develo,
opment OF the river.
He would pocket $5O,OOO,OOO for
his trouble, and use the rest to de-
yelop the river with.
He would issue stock to the. ex-
tent of s2O0.OOO.OOO more, which he
would keep and finally make worth
par by payment of dividends when
the business should develop.
He would make the channel 10
feet deep to the foothills of the
Rockies, and carry all the wheat, live
stock. wool, coal and other ship
ments for hundred of miles on both
sides of the stream. He would
make the railways. pro-rate with his
boats. He would build the best
docks and freight-handling machinery
at the terminals. He would fix
things so that there would never be
car shortage any more from the
mountains to the Atlantic. The lig-
mite beds of Montana and North
Dakota would develop into new
Pennsylvania. His powerful boats,
built on the model of the Rhine ves-
sells, would stem the current and
carry freight a thousand miles for a
dollar, and make money at it. The
Missouri would be an arm of the
sea. Great profit would be made
out of it.
For Hartman!
Yes; he would make his bonds
worth par, and gradually, as the en-
pire at his command developed, his
stock would go to par, and he would
be Millionaire.
Why not do it?
AS long as Hartman, Cannon, AID
rich and Rockefeller own and control
the government, the people seem to
be unable to do anything with the
Missouri, or any of the other rivers.
Let's give them all the rivers; or
A thought!
How would it do TO take the gov.
.ernment away from them; and .oper-
ate the river-improvement work our.
selves?
We as a people could make the
Missouri, and the Ohio, and the
Mississippi, and all the Atlantic riv-
ers, and the Tennessee, and the AL
ALBANIA system of rivers, and the
Columbia, and the .lakes-to-the-gulf
deep waterway-and all the huge
complimentary system of channels, a
great free highway system, to bless
the whole people. We would not
wait for the commerce to grow on
bad rivers where it cannot grow, be-
fore making good rivers of them. We
should knnow better. We should
make them the forerunners of devel-
opment, as the railways have been.
We should be ashamed to have a
great property like the Missouri ly-
ing there generation after genera
tion, useless and undeveloped, though
bitterly needed.
But unless we have sense enough
to turn the gang out, why not let
the tail go with the hide and give
the rivers to Hartman? We are
practically doing that now. Let's be
consistent, one way or the other

On this trip he succeeded In rounding
the northern extremity of the Green

arctic land groups. He found the most
northerly projection of land which Is
known to exist. Cape Morris e. 5esup,
named after the late well known bank

fray the cost of his other trips. This
cape Is in the eighty-third parallel OF

north that had been reached at that
time, the eighty-fourth parallel Of lati-

Peary was awarded the Kane gold
medal by the philadelphia Geograph-
ical society for This feat and the DAILY
gold medal from the American Geo.
graphical society. In 1905, mainly
through the financial assistance Of the
late Morris X. Jesup, he fitted out an
other expedition. He now had the
steamer Roosevelt, named after The0-
dore Roosevelt, which was peculiarly
constructed for this purpose. with its
screw tie rods to bind it together, its
almost solid filing in at the bows, Its
heavily armored stem and sheathed
hull.
Before he set out some one asked
Peary what the discovery of the pole
would mean. He gave with character

Ia famous American explorer who
81 discovered the north pole, be-
longs TO family of German
origin, the name having originally been
Koch. Tall, broad shouldered and deep
chested, he has strength and endurance
beyond most men. On one occasion,
while climbing Mount Mckinley, he
and his associate sat all night perched
on a shelf cut from. solid Ice on the
verge of a precipice, rot daring to go
to sleep for fear Of death and not hav-
ing room In which to erect tent.
When at last the top Of the previously
unscaled mountain had been reached,
there was downward journey of four
days. equally perilous. But the trip
resulted in planting for the first time
the star and stripes on the highest
point in the western continent.
The training Of DR. Cook for com
manding polar expedition was thor
ough. A native OF Sullivan county,
N. Y, be was educated as ply
stefan ut the University Of New York
and In 1891. at the age of twenty-six,
Joined the first Peary expedition as
surgeon. From 1897 to 1890 he was
surgeon Of the Belgian antarctic expe-
dition, receiving for his services on
this expedition the Order Of Leopold
from the Belgian government. Be-
tween 1908 and 1906 he led expeditions
to climb Mount Mckinley.
Dr. Cooks expedition to the north
pole owes Its existence to the interest
Of John r. Bradley, New York mil

was taken north in the summer of
