To Prevent Spread.

Already the doctors recognize the
hopelessness of attending to those
stricken, and they are devoting their
energies to fighting the spread Of the
contamination. 1t is feared that some
of the Manchurian villages have been
entirely wiped out. The intensity of
the cold weather has caused the peo-
pie to remain indoors, thus fostering
infection.
The danger of the plague getting a
foothold in Pekin is considered slight
as train service to and from the In
fected districts has been stopped. An
American educated woman doctor has
gone from here to Harbin, as we'll as
several others. The doctors have been
inoculated and are equipped with spe-
cial costumes and masks. The gov
ernment is insuring each foreign vol-
unteer for $20,000.-

Pekin, Jan. 15.-Reports from Har-
bin say the Chinese. are vigorously OPP
posing the summary disposition of the
bodies of those who have died from
the bubonic plague. The authorities
do not dare to burn them, the people
desiring that they remain intact so
that their ancestors may recognize
them in the future life.
They also oppose the burning of
houses, some of which contain the dead
bodies of entire families. Some of the
corpses have remained in the city for
days, but they are now being taken
to the open country, where trenches
for their burial have been prepared.
Russians Unconcerned.
1t is reported that the Russians in
Hardin are not concerning themselves
with the Chinese section, although
they are dealing drastically with the
Chinese within the Russian city. The
Chinese newspapers are raising an
outcry and bringing forward serious
charges of persecution and burial
alive. Members of the legations who
constantly recommend measures to the
government, are suggesting censorship

his friends not to notify his wife of

HOW OLD GEORGE VAN
HALTREN WORKED
HIS SIGNAL SYSTEM

George Van Haltren, the old Giant
outfelder, had a signal tipping bu.
reau all OF his own" says Christy
Mathewson, Giant pitcher. Van in
vented his system.
Van would try to call the turn on
what the pitcher was going TO use.
II he decided to go after a curve, he
never tried to hit anything else. He
let many good ones go by because he
wasn't prepared TO swing but when
the kind he was playing for came up,
Van used 10 murder the ball. He was
one OF the good hitters for several
years.
Van Haltren's plan reminds me OF
being peculiarly successful against
Jesse Burkett," continued Matty.
Jesse was one of the greatest hit
ters of his time. The first time
worked against him he hit one OF my
best curves a mile.
II knew he was waiting for the
kind Of ball | used and expected /
would use curves most Of the time.
I never gave him another curve. and
his first hit was the only one he ever
made of me, and / pitched seven
games against st. Louis that season.

NEW YORK, Feb. despite the
numerous suggestions for changes in

BIG MOTOR BOAT CRUISE
WILL START FROM DETROIT
Details Announced For the Combined
Pleasure Trip and Reliability
Trial For Scripps Cup.

The current number OF The Pilct,"
the official organ of the Detroit Motor
Boat club. gives some interesting In
formation regarding ne seven hun-
dred and fifty-mile cruise and RELIABLE
ity run which Will probably be started
from Detroit, next season. The idea
was conceived by w. L. Scripps, Com
modore of the Detroit Motor Boat
Club. who has offered a perpetual
trophy, TO cost not less than $4,000,
nor more than $4,000. The cruise is
to be an annual affair, and once in
FIVE years will start at Detroit. other
years at points designated by tie
League.
The entries will be OF the cruiser
type, divided into three classes, ac-
cording to speed. Power plants Will
be sealed and under supervision OF
of the committee, one
of whom will be on each boat. 1t is
proposed that the average run VIII
be not more than seventy-five miles
per day, which will terminate The
cruise in ten days to two weeks
time, during which many social fea-
lures will be INDUCED in, made pos
sible by the character OF the trips.
Entries viii be accepted from all
members of duly organized power
boat clubs, and cruise will be con-
fined to the Great Lakes and tr1ou-
tary waters, and start OF cruise will
be about the middle of August of each
year.
Committee on rules is as follows:
ID. ri. Lewis. b. l.. c., chairman; r.
r. Still, ID. NJ. b. c.; w. Z. Bieling,
Rudder: Robert E. Powers, Power
Boating; Herbert l. Stone. Yachting:
w. f. Otis, Pacific Motor Boat; f. w.
Johnston. Canadian Motor Boat: w.
b. Rogers. Jr. Motor Boat
The cruise is to be held under the
auspices OF the Great Lakes Power
Boat League, terminating where the
league are holding their annual three
days meet; thus adding an attractive
feature TO what will undoubtedly be
a novel, interesting and instructive
aquatic event on Great Lakes waters.

That He Must Quit.

The directors OF the Michigan Short
Ship Racing circuit went into session
late this afternoon at the Griswold
house with a large representation or
the state tracks on hand and every

nected with the gathering was the
announcement OF Secretary 5. ..

down the responsibilities which ne
has carried for so many years, In the
pressure of important business duties.
slr. Burgdorrs announcement met
with a storm of protest. II was OBJ
vious that the members or the circui.
desired both him aud President Mon
roe To remain. the latter despite the
fact that Pontiac, his home city. Is no
longer active In the racing game.
Among the new applicants for mem
Eership were the associations at 70
ledo and Marshall Both these towns
have half-mile tracks and both VIII
oe welcome. In case they consent TO
tie dates to be assigned.
The importance OF Michigan as
racing center was noted In the fact
that the program, Professionally
mapped out. included continuous rae
Ing from June to the latter part OF
September.
While the state government has
always rigidly prohibited the system
of making books on the running races,
IL has recognized the wide difference
between the runners and the trotters.
The result has been seen In success
