Traffic squad was revived to-day as an
org anizatlon within the Police Depart
ment, and that branch of the service
l. now constituted aside from the pro-
visions OF the Three-Platoon Law.
A bill passed in the Legislature July
2 provided that no police officer should
be on duty more than eight consecutive
hours. This knocked out the Traffic
squad, the members of which are on
duty from s o'clock in the morning until
6 o'clock at night. The bill merged
the Traflc Squad into the Department
and IL was generally favored by police
men outside the Traffic Squad because
II gave every man in the Department
a chance at assignment to trafhc work.

The Merchants Association and other
civic bodies got busy in behalf OF the

The bill was signed by the Governor
and the Mayor and Commissioners
Waldo issued orders bringing the Traf-
nc SQUAD to life again at 0 o'clock

From July 80 until last night the
Trafnc Squad was manned by police
men from regular precincts. So far As

duty. Under the rule i%naugurated to-

formulated a set of drastic rules for the

heard from policemen who consider two

BRING UNIVERSAL PEACE
BY GRADUAL DISARMAMENT
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
st. Paul, Mimi, April 25.-In speak
ing on peace today Baron d'Estour
nelles de Constant quoted the follow
ing passages from the 1903 program
of the International Arbitration Party
in the French parliament:
Some people profess to believe that
We the supporters of arbitration
would like to see it applied to all
questions, and that even if we were
threatened with invasion we should
not call out the whole armed strength
of the nation but humbly ask to have
the matter decided by a tribunal-a
proposal which the enemy would be
sure to reject, 1t is time to explain,
as clearly and Enthusiastically as pos
sible, that, so far from being mere
dreamers, philosophers or men with
out country, we have a clear concep-
ton of our duty and our responsibility.
We believe that the policy we advo-
cate for Europe is as clear, as prudent,
as positive and as full of promise as
the policy now followed is obscure and
fraught with coRfusion and danger.
Universal ,.eace and simultaneous
disarmament will never be anything
but dreams unless science and the
strictest and most methodical means
ara apanIoyod ~ boe+a,, +bo;r oo,,,inor
1t may already be said that disarma-
ment will merely be the last stage of
pacific evolution. Between this last
stage and the aspirations we now en-
tertain there is many mile to be
travelled, and always at the same pace
1t is usless to look for disarmament
unless we first try the effect of a pro-
gressive reduction of ornaments; and
this reduction itself will be necessarily
preceded by a limitation, halt in the
increase of ornaments. This limita-
ton, however, implies great changes
in the relations among the powers, and
those changes must be set down in
treaties. Such treaties imply reci-
procal recessions, due to respect for
justice and the consciousness of new
solidarity between the contracting
states. Such treaties cannot be sue
cessfully carried out, nor even negoti-
ated, unless public opinion is thor
oughly prepared beforehand.
"On these lines, our program be-
comes very simple and clear. Our one
object is to bring international arbi-
tration into general acceptance and
induce governments to resort to a
reasonable and honorable way of set
Ting, not all conflicts, but the largest
possible number of them, by equit-
able means"

NORRIS MANAGER DENIES
MATCH WITH NEW YORKER

Tulsa, Okla, April 26. - Frank b.
Ufer, manager of Carl Morris, returned
from New York Tuesday and at once
denied the report sent out from that
place that Morris had been matched
for a twenty-round bout with All Pal
zer, Tommy O'Rourke's hopegehe fight
to be staged here July 4.
Joe Jeanette, who not long ago
gave Sam Langford all he was looking
for in fight pulled off in France, ar
rived yesterday and will be a SPAR
ring partner for Morris for a month
or so, taking turns with Harry Weust.
Ufer proposes that the giant engineer
shall familiarize himself with the var
ious styles of modern fighting and
good men will be brought here to spar
with Oklahoma's hope.
Morris has been working hard for
several days and careful observers say
he is fast developing speed and that
he is becoming a rapid-fire boxer He
seems. to enjoy his work, and when it
comes to the sparring part of it, goes
to that like duck to water.
Ufer said that Morris is still the
chief topic of conversation in boxing
circles in New York. The Morris
Schreck fight pictures have just been
shown there, and drew large crowds
daily. Such men as Tommy O'Rourke
say the big engineer made a wonder
full showing for his brief career in the
ring, and it is freely predicted, in New
York, he will reach the top in much
shorter time than it took Jeffries to
get there.

WOLGAST MERC|LESSLY BEATS
DOWN NE-ROUND" HOGAN

New York, April 27.-Ad Wolgast,
champion lightweight of the world, de-
feated zone Round" Hogan, prom
Using Californian candidate for the
title in the second round of their sched-
uled ten round fight before the Madi-
son Athletic club here last night.
A terrific left swing to the jaw, fol-
lowed by heavy right to the wind in
the second round dazed Hogan.
Quick to see his advantage, Wolgast
followed him up relentlessly. He pour
ed in steady volley of right and left
swings to either side of the jaw, rock
ing Hogan's head, beating down his
guard, and driving him helplessly
around the ring.
Hogan stood swaying from side to
side, his hands hanging limp against
his thighs, while Wolgast pounded his
bloody face and still he could not seem
to land the decisive punch. But after
a little more than a minute and half
of the second round, Hogan turned his
back to the ring and faced his own
corner and acknowledged defeat. He
lifted his hands to his seconds and
they threw up the sponge.
Before entering the ring Hogan an
nounced that if he was beaten de
cisively he would never fight again.
In the first round it seemed as If he
might prove worthy of the title to his
nickname of zone Round He found
little difficulty in stabbing the cham
pion with an effective straight left
and, swinging to the jaw with heavy
right hand sweep, had Wolgast for a
moment rocking and dazed against the
ropes. But Wolgast's wonderful pow
ers of recuperation came to his rescue.
He rallied, fought back again and at
the bell was smiling,
When the second round opened he
was as fresh as ever. He was willing
to take punishment for chance to
get at close quarters where he could
rip in short heavy punches to the wind
and close coupled uppercuts.
BY the ringside were James j. JEFF
fries, former heavyweight champion;
Young Critic, former lightweight cham
pion; Knockout" Brown, Abe Attell,
Owen Moran, Freddie Welsh, Tommy
Murphy, Packey Mcfarland and Leach

who signed the warrants for the ar

Marshall should not be condemned for
signing the requisition for Mcnamara

made.
