LoNeYEAR CASE PUZZLES.
Discovery Of Coal in Spitzbersen
Raises an international Question.


Raises an international Question.
Senator Lodge has introduced a bill
which involves delicate international
question, affecting the right OF capt.
talists To exploit natural resources In
/ territory over which no country eNer-
cises jurisdiction. John NJ. Longyear
I of Brookline. Frederick Aver OF Lowell
and other capitalists are DESTROYS OF
developing certain coal deposits in the
spitzbergen islands. which are claim
cd by no country.
The only suggestion of law cover
inc such a situation is found in the
guano act of 1856. which provides that
whenever any citizen of the United
states discovers a deposit OF guano
on any island. rock or key not within
the lawful jurisdiction of any other
government and not occupied by citi-
zens of any other government and
takes peaceable possession there
of and occupies the same,
such island, rock or key. may at the
discretion Of the president be con-
sidered as appertaining to the United
states.
Such "A law was found effective and
adequate in it's application To guano
deposits. which usually are found upon
rocky islands Of no intrinsic value
but the law obviously does not apply
TO coal lands and could hardly be
construed to imply any considerable
seizure Of territory AS a means of
approaching this new question, Sena-
tor Lodge therefore moves to amend
the guano act by making it apply 10
coal or other minerals" and enlarging
its scope by extending II to amy por-
ton" Of the land involved.
In his annual message. President
Taft dealt at some length with the
anomalous position of the Spitzbergen
Islands. and stated that the United
States government, in view OF proofs
filed with IL in 1906. has accepted un-
der reservation the invitation Of Nor
way 20 participate in an international
conference relating to the islands.
These proofs showed the American
possession. occupation and working of
certain coal bearing lands in Spitz-
bergen and the reservation prescribed
that the question Of altering the sta
tus of the islands and countries be-
longing 10 no particular state and as
equally open To the citizens and sub
jects of all states could not be raised.
The Lodge amendment If adopted
would tend to confirm the rights of
Messrs. Longyeaf and Aver and their
associates in the coal lands already
occupied.

spikes!

Spikes!
This was one of the subjects consid-
cred by the National and American
league baseball magnates yesterday
and today. There is no phase of the
diamond game that has aroused as
much comment during the past two
years. Since the close OF the last play
ing season there has been little letup
in the noise, however, the argument
over the National league presidency
and the discussion OF the possibilities
OF lessening the dangers of football
coming up and furnishing the fall and
early winter gossip.
But YOU remember the noise that
was made over the death dealing spikes
late i'm the playing season. when Ty
Cobb dug the steel into Third Base
man Baker of the Athletics. putting
this player out Of the game FOR time
at a critical point in the pennant race.
Then came the subsequent spiking OF
Baker by Cobb in the next clash of
Detroit and Philadelphia
All this brought up the matter of
baseball spikes with renewed interest
and many OF the powers of baseball
were ready TO ten how the evil could
be remedied. some magnates came
out with the suggestion that the rules
committee frame a rule whereby a
player would be called out IL he slid
into a bag feet first. other sugges-
tions have also been made to do away
with spikes altogether and find some
substitute. such as the cleats used in
football.
But when all is said ana zone where
can you find substitute for the
spikes? Surely not football cleats. IT
is practice among ball players To file
their spikes, making them as sharp as
possible. Now this Is not done with
the intention of intimidating any play
er or of cutting an opposition player.
II is done for the players own interest
i'm the development of speed and 10
reserve his feet. The sharper the
spikes the less resistance there is
when il is dug into the ground. And
this is just why football tleats would
not work i'm baseball The leather can
not be brought to an edge at Which it
win. not Offer! resistance 60 the turf.
Now what would happen to q baseball
team wearing the leather cltats? In
side OF two months every player would
be so stove up that the hospital lists
would be larger than should the spikes

be permitted. Instead OF cold feet
the popular malady would be sore
feet"
What is true of the football clea'
also applies To the rubber knobs OF
anything else that might be suggested
Take away the spikes and baseball
would be robbed of many of its most
brilliant features. Base running would
be reduced to a minimum, while sensa-
tional fielding would be a thing OF the
past. Plays that are now possible
through quick start gained by spikes
would never be pulled off.
Baseball without spikes would be a
failure Then If the spikes are to be
retained. what is the remedy? Surely
not the head first slide, for under such
conditions the runner would be
placed i'm worse position than the
baseman is now The defensive play
er would block off a man with his knee
without danger TO himself, and where
there is now an occasional cutting
broken neck. collar bones and such in
iuries would be common.
The spike is a big problem in base
ball. but there is little chance To- tam
per with the steel and it's use. II VIII
take a wise man indeed to devise a
rule that will fulhll the purpose for
which it is intended. namely Of pro-
tecting players without spelling the
game.
