SKELETONS TO BE RE
MOVED FROM THE MAINE

HAVANA, July 19.-1he berth
deck of the demolished battleship
Maine is partly uncovered and work
men started today on a systematic
search for skeletons of the remaining
dead of the crew whose bodies re-
posed to the mulk since the night the
battleship was blown up. The work
of recovering the skeletons will be
difficult as mud and marine growth is
so thick and heavy it will not yield
to hydraulic pressure but will have
to be dug out with pick, shovel and
rake.
The scene of wreckage revealed,
now that water has been pumped to
the eighteen foot level, is appalling
The entire structure from frame IS"
forward is a twisted mass of shatter-
ed steel.
1t is known that officials at work
on the wreck believe ii will be an
easy matter to prove that the initial
explosion was an outside one.

POLICE CHIEF FAVORS
SUNDAY BASEBALL GAMES

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 19.-
Sunday baseball by professional teams
is distinctly helpful to moral force,
according to Chief of Police Cowles
of this city. In reply to demand
from church organizations that he
suppress the Sunday games at Light
house Point in the suburbs, Chief
Cowles says:
Sunday baseball by professionals
will continue at Lighthouse Point so
long as the game is conducted in an
orderly manner, because it draws the
young men from the streets, and less

enness and disorder. Many young
men are attracted TO the shore by

The New York police force may no

The New York police force may not
be as efficient as it might be, but it
would be unjust to place all the blame
upon the men. The system, which en-
ables too many cooks to NEEDLE with
the broth, is to a great extent respon-
sible for existing conditions. The men
are expected to fulfill many duties,
trivial in nature, but taking so much
time, that other, far more important
duties, for instance the fcrretting out
and arrest of criminals, are neglected
Another serious handicap consists in
the fact that in many cases the po-
lice magistrates are unwilling to up
hold the policy Of the police depart
ment.
