SAYS LAWYERS
 FOSTER CRIME

NEW YORK, Jan. 14,-General Theodore Bingham, police commis. sioner of New York, reporting yes. terday on the difficulty of convictlng local offenders. assigned the follow, ing as reasons:
 Too many lawyers live by showing people how to break the law safely. How else are prizefights and gamb. ling so difficult to suppress?
 How else do these lawbreakers dare fortify themselves behind iron doors?
 Why else does the liquor dealer chcertuIIy produce bail, confident that chemical analysis will be re. Quired of his whiskey?
 How else in Sunday theatres IS a dance not a dance, nor costume not a costume, nor play not play?
 How else is it that a racing bet is not bet?

Yuan Shi Kai, the great viceroy of Chui province, was one of the most influential and powerful statesmen in the Chinese empire. He had been called the strongest man in China, and infinitely more powerful than was Iii Hung Chang. He inspired a national patriotism which is today doing much to sweep away middle age superstition and rebuild the em- pirc. He organized an army in China that was the wonder and amaaement of rorengu military critics. He sub stituted modern text books for an cient classics. He compelled the abolition of torture, and he trans formed Pekin from the filthiest city in the world. into the metropolis well paved and cleanly kept

5DTintU nevU Comes ba(t
But Other Athletes lIav
By ARTHUR puEFEY.

Can a track athlete come back
That's the question that has come up
ever since Young Corbett seems TO
have come into his own in the ring.
Ordinarily, mo" should be the an
swer. but from some Eases we have
had In the athletic world it looks as
IL at times IL Is possible. In very few
cases, however, has 1t been found that
a Splinter can come back, while with
the long-distance runner 1t seems to
be possible. Take Bernie Wefers,
Tewksbury and Jack Morton, the ex-
British champion, who has now an
nounced his retirement from the track.
All these sprinters showed marvellous
form at times. only to have a falling
off and then an attempt to come back.
Ali have been unsuccessful.
In the case Of the long-distance run
ner, however, Shrubb stands out as an
example of q champion who has come
back to championship form. When
Shrubb returned from his Australian
trip he was considered ''all In" and
decided to give up the game. After a
years rest he took up the game again
and gradually be came back to his
championship form. All Of which goes
to prove that II once champion, and
provided any kind of a clean life Ia
led, there is a possibility of track
champion once more coming back into
his own

KNOCKING, KNOCKING,
GENTLY KNOCKING
CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER.
OWENS NEW MASK.

Without any doubt the Maps are too
tame. There are too many handshak-
ers and not enough of the scrappy var
iety In the squad. The Maps can
smile through a defeat early In the
season easier than any other team In
the league. Already they seem to have
forgotten how close they came to win
ming the pennant and its opportunity
to share In post-season receipts.
When the team was knocked out OF
the championship on the last trip to
st. Louis. each and every player said:
TITS all of with the Misunderstanding gag
from now. Every member OF every
other team is our enemy. That's our
platform from now on"
Winter interviewed, however. and the
same old spirit is being manifested.
This is in direct contrast to the Tig-
ers, who bury all friendly feelings on
the diamond and scrap for every bit
of advantage. In the ninth inning
when Easterly came to bat, how was
he greeted by the Tigers who sat on
the bench? It was: "Oh. here he is.
Amt he pretty? Toss II up to him.
George. He can't hit 1t anyway" East
erly glared at the bench, Umpire Ker-
in allowing them to continue, and then
hit grounder TO Bush.
Just imagine the Maps doing any
thing to irritate their opponents. You
can't do 1t. They are charter men,
bers of the Handwriting league and
do not seem to be able to forget 1t.
