THE EXPEDITION
AGAINST GUN-RUNNERS

AGAINST GUN-RUNNERS
This week there sails from Bonn
bay a small combined naval and mill
tary expedition designed to prevent
gun-running on the coss' of Percian
Mekran and to protect tie British
telegraph lines and telegraph stations
in that region. The character of the
undertaking is made clear by the in
teresting article from q well-informed
correspondent which we publish on
another page, and by tie map which
accompanies it. The situation is in
some respects extraordinary, and it
has grave features. The tribes on
our frontier are embittered because
they can not get more arms. They
will probably use them against us If
they get them, and are quite likely
to rise in anger if they do not.
Meanwhile We have a British Admiral
with cruisers and gunboats and field
force of bluejackets and native In
fartry, and guns and wireless teleg-
raphy, operating year after year to
prevent a traffic which could be
stopped in a week by diplomatic
! agreement. The arms traffic chiefly
conters at Muscat, where it is shelf
cred by a treaty concluded in 1862
between France and the State of
. Oman. The Sultan of Oman is will
! ing to prohibit the traffic, but can not
do so without the consent of France,
which is refused. 1t has been stated
both by Sir Edward Grey and by Lord
Morley that representations are being
made in Paris, but they have been
made for years without avail. The
most singular and painful feature of
the matter is that, according to the
returns or 1909-10. Great Britain has
a larger share in the arms traffic than
! France. OF the arms landed at Mus
cat in that year, % per cent were
! from Great Britain and only IA per
cent from France. We have been
actually loading rifles in the Thames,
which are to be used ultimately to
shoot down British soldiers and stimuli
taneously spending large sums to pre-
vent them from reaching their final
destination. The excuses made for
this Thames traffic are common knowl-
edge, but it is difficult to take them
| seriously. At the same time the fact
that this trade is more British than
| French should make It easier for our
government to obtain from France a
remuneration of the treaty rights that
enable it to be carried on. Lord Nor
ley, in the house of lords recently
spoke as if he considered the French
government had a right to claim COM
pensation for any such surrender. A
| legal right it perhaps has; but we be-
liave that the government of the Re-
public would be acting more in ac-
cordance with the chivalrous instincts

LET BOYS PLAY ON YOUR LOT.
Park Commissioner Slower has is
sued an appeal to property owners in
behalf of the boys of the city and for
assistance in preserving the lawns of
Central Park and the other small
parks of Manhattan
"As Park Commissioner of Manhat-
tan, our most congested borough" he
said, 81 appeal to the owners of unim-
proved property for permission to
make free use of such open spaces
during the coming summer as play
grounds, and more especially as ball
grounds.
THE desire of the New York boy to
play baseball is as universal as hun
ger for food; but if the Park Commits
sioner were to attempt to satisfy this
craving for baseball by turning over
to the boys every park in Manhattan
there would not be room for all and
the parks would be destroyed.
1.-THE director of physical training in
the board of education has written to
me that the baseball season will open
very shortly and l want every one of
our 100000 boys to play baseball this
summer
"Whole battalions of this army
must vainly seek a place wherein to
play ball unless the owners of unim-
proved property join hands with the
Park Commissioner in strong effort
to give the Manhattan boy a chance
to play his favorite game. On either
or both of two grounds the owners of
private property should respond to
this appeal
Every open lot thus put at the dis
posal of our boys will be a twofold
safety valve, for such opportunity will
help to save the boys and also to save
! the parks. AS Park Commissioner of
Manhattan l shall do all l can to pro-
vide ball grounds on park property so
far as this is compatible with due
regard to the preservation of our
parks as parks. Such due regard
leaves most inadequate room fer ball
playing. Even when we add the open
spaces on our marginal streets and
under our bridge approaches the
needs of the boys are far from being
satisfied.
"All unimproved property thus put
at the disposal of the park depart
ment during the coming summer will
be carefully administered by the de-
partment for the good of the boys and
the rights of the property owner.
am fortunate in being able to state
that the necessary expenses for the
preparation of such grounds for the
boys and for their orderly use will not
require any special municipal appror
priation. Private citizens and civic
organizations, such as the National
Highways Protective Society, have as
sured me that they will gladly con-
tribute to the support of such ball
I grounds during the season of 1911"
The commissioner said that the
! grass in all of the Manhattan parks is
going to have a chance to grow this
year. The use of the lawns could not
be given to ball players. The soil eX-
pert he got from Washington told him
that walking and running and jumping
on the lawns in spring killed the
| grass roots. 1t was case Of no grass
or no ball games, and the Commits
sioner determined to have we'll
grassed lawns.-New York Sun.

LaInar ., McClave 1

The McClave ball team includ-
Ing Bill Cutler came to Lamar
last Sunday for the purpose of drub
bling the local team. but when the
last inning had been played IL was
found that McClave had annexed
one lone run while the Lamar team
had piled up a total OF eight, and
the visitors had changed their
minds. Bill Cutler. who has al
ways had Lamar on his string was
taken completely by surprise by the
locals. as they touched him up for
u total of ten hits and several of
these were for extra bases. Gar
rett on the other hand pitched a
steady game. allowing only four
hits and two of these were very
scratchy. The one run made off
him was due to an error after two
men were down. Both teams field
ed nicely.
Bill Ryan umpired his usual
fair game and gave satisfaction to
every one present.
Since the official scorer was
scared out by the big rain which
came up Just before the game We
are unable to give the box score.

TIPPING OF SOCIETY WOMEN
Members of the Fashionable Clubs
in Atlanta Are to Be SUM
mOned to Court.

ATLANTA.-In fighting the de-
cree of council revoking its license
because women we're admitted with
men to promiscuous drinking attor-
neys for the Union and Mechanic
Locker Club say they propose to
show up the question of women
exclusive clubs as the Capital City
and the Piedmont Driving Club.
These attorneys declare that it is
a widely known fact that women go
to these fashionable clubs and drink
freely and openly with their male es-
corts. They say further that they
propose to subpoena members of
these clubs and make them testify
to that fact when the question comes
up in court
When council revoked the license
of the Union and Mechanic it was
charged that only a very small per-
centage of the alleged membership
had even paid the initiation fee, and
that anybody who wished could go
in and buy liquor. 1t was further
asserted that women of questionable
character were admitted freely and
drank all they wanted.
Another locker club was knocked
out on the same score.

SOCKS MAY BLOW YOU UP.
Some of Them Made Out of Real
GuncOttOn, and Are Dangerous.

A New York dispatch says Arthur
Elroth has presented to the Kings
County Independent League a reso-
luton of protest against the manu-
facture of artificial silk from cellu-
lose, Elroth is employed in a facto-
ry where he says silk is made from
highly dangerous and infiammable
guncotton," and is used extensively
for neckties, half hose, braids, trim
mings and shirt waists.
William D. Grier, general inspect
or for the North British and Mercan-
tile Fire Insurance Co., explained
what the product really is.
There are several processes of
manufacturing artificial silk" said
Mr.. Grier, which are based on the
use of ordinary cellulose reduced to
plastic condition, so that it may be
drawn into threads. These are
drawn into various forms, whose
chief difference from real silk is that
they are glossier.
"All but one of these processes
yield a silk that is as safe as cot
ton. The other employs nitro-cellu-
lose, or soluble guncotton, from
which the threads are drawn in ether
or alcohol. After the thread has
been drawn and is ready for weaving
it is supposed to be denitrated. If it
is it is entirely safe; if it is not it
may be extremely dangerous, for it
then remains nothing less than gun
cotton spun into a fabric"

Is Attended With High Fever and
Headache, But After Three Treat
ments Subject Is Immune.
The State Board of Health is now
ready to supply the vaccine treat
ment for typhoid fever. Heretofore
the treatment has been confined to
the army and navy of the United
States. The subject is vaccinated
three times at intervals of one week.
Each vaccination is attended by
high fever and a raging headache,
but after receiving the three treat
ments the subject is forever immune
from typhoid.
The chemist of the state board an
nounces that he has found from ex-
haustive Investigations that all wa
tiers from municipal supplies are pur-
er than any of the bottled waters
on the market. This is directly con-
trary to the public belief on this
subject, and will be a matter of in
terest and congratulation to the pub
lie
DR.. H. F. Harris, of the board
will recommend and urge a state law
for the muzzling of all dogs. DR..
Harris is led to take this step by
the number of cases of rabies which
he has been called upon to treat.
During 1910 he treated 462 Pasteur
patients; q patients are taking this
treatment at present Two died last
year The doctor examined the
heads of 218 dogs, and found of that
number $50 affected with rabies.
Since the organization of the
board much stress has been laid up
on the laboratory work. In 1910
there were 1886 archaeological ex-
aminations. There were 1928 ex-
aminations for hookworm, of which
I'll were found positive and 757
negative. In connection with the
Rockefeller Sanitation Commission
5,672 examinations for hookworms
were made, and 4,572 of the subjects
were found to be affected. DR.. Har-
ris made Psi water analyses during
the year.

AN EASTER EGG SHOWER.
Minister Was Considerably ''Messed
Up" After the Offering.

An Easter egg shower was given
the Rev. Sergius Bazilevitch, pastor
of the Russian Orthodox Greek Cath
Ollie church at Chicago. AS he knelt
in prayer his congregation rose and
eggs came from all directions. They
were not boiled eggs, nor china eggs,
just plain "eggy" eggs. The pastor
is said to have been considerably
messed up before the police rescued
him from his congregation. A church
feud born of the removal of the pas
tors predecessor caused the Easter
offering. But it was certainly a
unique method bf showing disap-
prevail of ones pastor.

Oliver of High Finance Fame Is Busy

The commissioners of Lee county
have just received five new convicts
for work on the public roads. These
convicts are all white, and is the
largest number of white convicts
used by the authorities at any pre-
vious time. 1t seems that a number
of those on the changing will soon
be out, and the consequence is that
the county has an unusually small
force. Among the recent arrivals is
the noted A. D. Oliver, who taught
the Climax people a few new wrink-
les in up-to-date finance and who was
much mixed up in wedlock with a
certain Rosebud" of South Georgia
fame. From all accounts Oliver was
well up to all the gaits in high f.
nance, and though he was wrong we
can't help but have a streak of sym
pathy for him. One thing seems GER
tain-he was a smooth number and
when he fell it appears that many
who had sought to fatten on him
turned and tried to rend him after
he had fallen, and from accounts
they stood well in that community.

WHAT! TAKE AWAY MICS. FREE SEED =?
Congressman Sheppard Of Texas Makes Bold Stroke
Would Stop Sending Out Many Tons Of Seed Annually

WASHINGTON, D. Congress
man Morris Sheppard of Texas does
not approve of the present method
OF having members of congress any
longer made ordinary seed distrib-
utors, and he would take away to
large extent this part of a members
duty in bill that he has just intro
duced.
For many years members OF. the
lower house have been ridiculed and
MADE the laughing stock of the coun-
Try because Of their activity in secur-
ing and sending to their constituents
IN the agricultural districts seeds,
ouIDs, trees, vines, cuttings, and 9TH
er plants of various descriptions. Mr..
sheppard would stop the promiscu-
GUS use of the congressman for this
purpose.
IN the bill that he has just intro
duced he proposes that in place of
OHe present method Of distributing
SEED and other such matter the fol-
lowing shall be adopted: That not
more than $4,000 shall be spent
IoF thls purpose in any one year, and
mat such seed, bulbs and plants shall
oe distributed to actual experiment.
eIS only for experimental tests, and
mat the secretary of agriculture
SnaIl cause a record to be kept of all
persons to whom such matter shall
oe sent in order that reports on ex-
perlments may be secured. 1t is also
provided that the secretary shall, so
IaI as possible, cooperate with state
S1Perlment stations regarding the re-
SuiI OF the experiments on the seed,
'UIDS' trees, ETC., sent to them.

President Taft, for the present, at
