President A. NJ. Blackburn of the
Western Canadian league is quoted
as saying that the league has proved
unsuccessful and that, further. base
ball will not pay at the present time
in Canada unless there are some
American teams in the league.
With Winnipeg, st. Paul, Minneapo-

town in the league that is bare pos
sibility of the future, there should be
every chance for the success of the
new baseball venture. The hope of
the league will rest upon the ability
of the men behind to get into the A.

Something definite is expected to
develop next week. So far the men
interested in the formation Of the

COLORADO COUNCIL TO
REGULATE SKIRTS

Boulder, Colo, April 2O.-An ordin-
ance to prohibit the wearing Of long
dresses on the streets of Boulder was
introduced in the city council last
night. It provides that "it shall be
unlawful for any person whose wear
ing apparel or skirt shall be of such
length as to trail upon the ground and
become a dust sweeper or otherwise
obnoxious to the public health and re-
fined taste, to appear upon any side
walk in this city,"
The document is entitled can ordi-
nance to promote public health and
concerning displays upon the side
walks" which was interpreted by one
alderman to mean that if the council
intended to define the length Of
skirts one way it must also define it the
other way" The ordinance was urged
by the Women's club.

to the Colonel.
Paris, April 21.-Colonel Roosevelt
arrived here at Z :33 o'clock this morn
ing. The Paris morning newspapers
unite in warm expressions of welcome
to the ex-president. The Matin prints
a message of eulogy from M. Pinchon,
the foreign minister, who says M.
Roosevelt ever was foremost in the
cause of peace.
"We French have more cause tore
member this than any one" says the
foreign minister, "for Mr.. Roosevelt
is surely faithful friend to France.
He has manifested friendship to US un-
der all circumstances, with perfect dis
interestedness. He has acted as a
statesman who understands that the
two great republics owe each other
support, since they obey the same
principles to carry out the same work
and have the same ideals. It is a
friend we are going to receive, a
friend sincere, just and tenacious. Let
us honor him.
Theodore Roosevelt appears to me
as a man without fear, who consults
only his own conscience and makes will
lingly sacrifices to the inspirations
thereof. notwithstanding the conse-
ouences which might follow his action. "

BIG LINER ASHORE!
Coast DWGIIGPS Rescue Much Of
Cargo From Waves.
Thousands of Tons Of Valuable Goods
Jettsoned in Effort to Save
Ship from Going to Pieces

Hughtown, Scilly Islands, April FL.
Inhabitants Of the Rocky Scilly is
lands were famous wreckers Of primi-
tive times, but they will forever re-
member this as the greatest day in
their history.
The Atlantic transport liner Mime
haha, wrecked Monday, disgorged part
of her II, 900 tons of valuable cargo,
casting it upon the waters all day long,
to be gathered up by those who cared
to take the trouble.
Farming and fishing were aban-
doned, and even school was dismissed,
while most of the population of the
nearby islands, men, women and chill
dren, devoted themselves to obtaining
treasures from the waves.
The salvagers decided to try to res
cue the Minnehaha by cutting her in
half, in the same way the Chicago
White Star steamship Suevic, which
went ashore near the Lizard in March,
1907, was saved.
Every effort to Tighten the ship is
now imperative. Today the waves
beat up too high and strong for the
tugs to go alongside. Consequently
goods were thrown overheard from the
forward hold as fast as the stevedores
could handle them.
Huge cases, containing automobiles
and pianos, followed one another over
the side, striking the water with a
great splash. Sewing machines and
clocks went with them, while furniture
foated everywhere.
Many bales of cigarettes covered
the face of the water, and tons of cheap
American novels foated to the nearby
shore of Bryhe, where they were piled
like seaweed.
Tioings of the jettisoning of wealth
spread early and fiotilla of fishing
craft and luggers scurried to the scene.
AS fast as the cargo hit the water,
enterprising boatmen pulled up the
smaller cases, while they took the
larger ones in tow.
The machinery was taken from the
wreck and stored.
Two hundred and twenty-four head
of cattle swan ashore, while ten were
drowned.
The seamen here think it will be i'm
possible to save the Minnehaha, and
look for the first strong wind to break
her to pieces.

coUNsELs SON BY WIRELESS.
Mnrconi Connection Between Father
and Boy at College.

1920 p. m.-Joe, what are you
studying now? Don't forget your
French. Good night. DAD"
This message, or one somewhat like
it, the Philadelphia Bulletin asserts,
is likely to be roaming about the at
mosphere by wireless any evening At
present it is. likely to be transmitted
only by DR.. Walter Webb Of Sharon
Hill to his son, Joseph S. Webb, a
freshman at Swarthmore College.
The finer details of this minute-by-
minute parental guidance were COM
pleted recently when a receiving sta
tion was installed in young Webb's
room in Wharton Hall, the boys dor
mitory at Swarthmore College. He
and his father have had a station at
their home for some time and they
have installed one at college so that
the son will not grow rusty in ham
ding the key.
The beauty of the scheme is seen
after little thought. Suppose the
young man writes home that, owing
to the press of studies, he will not be
able to visit the old folks over Sun
day. Then on Monday his father
clicks out a message inquiring wheth-
er Joe had received one which was
sent the previous day. What excuse
could be offered?
OF course, this is not likely in this
particular case, because Webb is a
drigent student and does what he
saws he intends to do. But when the
practice of having wireless stations at
all homes and all schools is common
what will the average boy do?
At present Joseph Webb, at school.
has only a receiving station. DR.. Webb
can counsel and admonish him to his
hearts content and there will be no
back talk"
And so 1t may 60 on. Inventive
fathers may devise a thousand and
one ways Of keeping the son at college
up to scratch. When such home and
school connection becomes general e

lege boys life will become

.DO|NGS OF OUR NATIONAL LAWMAKERS

Washington, April 23.--Represent-
ative Francis Burton Harrison, of New
York, introduced resolution in the
house today calling on the president
for all the facts in connection with the
investigation and report of solicitor
William P. Hepburn Of the treasury,
department, upon alleged frauds at
New York in 1891.
Colonel Hepburn" said Mr.. Harri-
son today, "has been quoted to the
effect that frauds in the New York
customs service, similar to those which
Richard Parr claims to have dscov-
cred, were discovered by him l9 years
ago. Colonel Hepburn, Mr.. White
head, appraiser of the port Of New
York, and Mr.. Chance, treasury agent,
submitted in 1891 report showing
that importers were defrauding the
government of millions of dollars.
whether that report was lost or
suppressed, it is certainly important
that we know whether it be true that
these customs frauds have been known
to the government officials for so long,
especially as Richard Parr is now try
ing to collect several hundred thousand
dollars from the government for dis
covering such frauds.
An understanding was reached today
in the senate committee on privileges
and elections that vote would be TAX
en- next Wednesday on the question of
reporting the bill providing for publi-
city of contributions to national cam
paign committees.

Of continuing the improvements.
Mr.. Stubbs has just returned to Chi
cago from five weeks inspection tour
over the entire system in the United
States and in Mexico.
"Double-tracking on the Union Pa
cifc is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible, and as soon as the work can be
accomplished the entire line from
Omaha to Ogden will have two tracks.
Roundly speaking, 500 miles of the
1000 have been finished, and the en-
tire line from Omaha to San Francisco
is now protected by block signals. 1t
is probable that the San Pedro line,will
be open for traffic much earlier than
