ASK COMMITTEE

Not until Thursday night will the
members Of the Richmond Light lnfan-

the drill hall of their ar1nory for oas-
ketball purposes. At that time Major
Bowles, commandant of the battalion,
and Sergeant E. w. Gates. chairman
of the athletic committee, will appear

rnittee and make formal request
AS pointed out before in The Times
Dispatch, the Building Inspector has no
objections to the use of the han, pro
vided the soldiers take such means
as ne has suggested to protect the
city's property. He wants the electric
lights and the windows so guarded as

he will withdraw his objections. and the
game can go on.
1t would indeed be a pity were the
basketball games stopped at this time.
Elaborate preparations have been made,
coach employed and a league formed.
There are some mighty good athletes
among the members OF the crack mill
tary organization. and good games
would have been the result. Certainly
there is nothing which will develop
the men more than a game of basket
ball. 1t Is one OF the Few Sports Whlch
is free from danger and at the same
time develops the physical well-being
of the men.
While tho action of the Building In
spector put stop 10 the games for the
time being, 1t did not lessen the enthu-
slasM of the prospective athletes. They
have been looking forward to the time
when the ban would be raised and they
could get back on the floor. 1t seems
probable that even II basketball Is in
hibted, the track team will be put
through the PAGES. The soldiers are
determined to have some sport during
the winter, and they will spend all OF

the Federal court this morning. Judge
Boyd, in the white slave traffic cases
against Napier and Quaster, who have

structed the jury to return a verdict
OF not guilty, thereby sustaining the
defendants demurrer to the evidence.
Quaster was discharged, but Napier

using the mails to defraud, the alleged
defense being the ordering from diff
ferent diamond dealers OF diamonds of
extra and common quality, and upon re-
ceiving consignments by express, sub
shutting the common for the extra,
laying price of tic common and re-
turning to the firm sending the extra

common diamonds the price for these.
District Attorney TIolton called this
case, but on motion, OF Napier's coun-
sci 1t was continued until the January
term Of court, defendant depositing a
thousand cash bond
Judge Boyd said this was the first
case tried under the slave traffic act,
and it was clear that Congress never
contemplated the regulation of the
morals of people travelling from one
State TO another. If so, 1t could not
thus encroach upon the reserved right
Of States to exclusive police power.
Non enforcement of State law was no
justification for invoking the aid from

OF all the silly, babyish prattle that
has ever gone the rounds of the press
none Is quite so foolish as the unsup-
ported statement that President c. Il.
Williams, Of the Virginia State League,
will not attempt to enforce the salary
limit adopted by the magnates at the
meeting held early in the fall.
If this statement is true, then l for
one am in favor of deposins "illiams
and letting him go on his way. But
have no idea that tho statement Is
true. Nor has any one else who knows

bet that he Will not only exert every
effort to enforce the salary limit, but
that he will cali to time those man

Salary Limits Oversterped.
1t is nothing new that salary limits
are overstepped wherever there Is

that these saiary limits are over
reached with the consent of the man

League have since the league was first

If 1t is true that not single team
in the league Will live wit.An the
salary limit, and that the president OF
the league will wink at infractions OF
the salary limit, then the league is IN
far worse shape to-day than 1t has
ever been. But few will believe this
statement Only by enforcing the
salary limit as strictly as possible and
by keeping the several teams as near
Iy within the salary limit as is hu-
manly possible will the fans get a
