Chamberlain, a second string pitch

Miss BurneII Wins.,~

Miss Burnell won the mile race from
Miss D'Vorak. Wednesday evening, at
the Select Roller rink by about one
third Of a lap. The race was close ana
interesting from the start, with the
dgusta girl constantly gaining on her
larger competitor. The rink was so
crowded that Manager Murree was
forced to make the track up OF Is laps
to mile instead of 20, the usual num-
Der.
The out-of-town skater was not sat
isfed with the results of the race, for
she thought she could have done bet
ter over the large track, on which she
hes heen practicing, but Miss Burnell
was Handicapped ia the same manner
for she had also been practising on
the same track.

4PEAcE BY ARBITRATION"
w. RI. o'Brien of Boston Addresses
Abnaki Council, x. OF C.

William II oHrien of Boston was
the speaker at a Smoke talk at the
Council Chamber of Abnaki Council,
X. of @ His subject was "interna-
tional and Industrial Peace BY Arbi-
tration,' and vas presented in a pleas
ing and interesting manner, aud was
enjoyed by a representative gathering
of members cf Abnaki Council.
In discussing the question of In
ternational Peace Mr. o'Brien said:
suppose we turn the clock backward
and allow individuals to do as nations
do by shaping our home conduct after
the international pattern. Do YOU know
what would happen? Why, we would
relapse into barbarism. the mailed
hand would rule every house would be
an arsenal. men would walk around and
blood would constantly flow foot high.

NEW YORK April 13. There still survive in New York 170 hoIse. drawn street ears, according 10 a report by the public service commis- sion.
 The discovery that even one of these ancient vehicles is still ill use in a city of skyscrapers and rapid transit has always been a subject for strangers jokes. but the Street Railways association has come forward with an excuse to pro test against the citys vanity.
 Notwithstanding tha; horses and their keep have become far more costly than two decades az. the association points out. he compari- son with the increased cost in equip ment and maintenance of electric lines has been far greater and for short crosstown hauls tde horse still proves profitable power for street car transit.

 SEATTLE. April b - The New York Shipbuilding company. of Cam

 to be constructed later will be i'm provements on the two big vessels
 now plying between Seattle and Cal ifornia ports. Pacific coast ship builders entered bids but could not
 compete with the Camden firm for the big job.
 No name has yet been selected | for the new liner. She will he 40 feet 6 inches over all. with a
 beam of 53 feet and load draft of
 24 feet. The displacement will be 10000 tons, and a speed cf 21i2 knots is called for. the twin screw engines to develop 1000 horse

 sister ship will be started in the
 near future. so that both vessels will
 be ready for the Pacific coast ser | vice by the opening of the l915 eX- position in San Francisco.
 Slightly larger and faster than tae President and Governor. the. new vessel will be as great Improvement over the present liners. as the Pres ident and Governor were over the vessels which have preceded them in the coastwise service. The new craft will cost appr xtmately l.200.- 000 each. and the interior finish 1 throughout will be the finest. while
 the general construction will meet
 the requirements of the American
 Bureau of Shipping for it's highest class A r. for twenty years. The plans call for vessels with
 four complete steel decks and there will be accommodations for loo first I class passengers, loo second class
 and loo third class. l. is planned 10
 make the new vessels compare fav-
 orably in every respect with the i finest liners on the Atlantic coast.

NATIONAL CORPORATION LAWS.

A service of vast importance is being rendered to the country at the present time by the Senate Com nSttee on Commerce. in it's bearings upon the whole subject of the res ula'ion and control of the large busi- ness enterprises. Senator Cummings mittee that is conducting these hear ihgs. Senator Clapp of Minnesota k chairman of the full committee. The sherman antitrust law as i; now stands. and as it is interpreted. by the courts, is protective neither Of big business nor Cf little busi. ness. It has smashed the tobacco trust. but it has afforded no sa.is- faction or relief 10 the smaller com petitors of tha, trust who were n. strumental in having the sui; brought. No one need fear that the small business man or the plain citizen. would suffer anything even from thte absolute repeal of the Sherman antitrust law II will not of course be repealed in any case without the substitution for it Of something that would afford 6 vast. lv better protection t9 ever% citi- zen and to every kind of ,egiti- mate business enterprise. But even if il were repealed with no Federal law 10 take it's place there is some reason for the view that every one needing protection or remedy would lind himself as safe under he con- mon law as he is at preseni under the so-called sherman statute. It would be absurd to think for a mo. ment that We have not enough sense in the United States to re'orm cur corporations laws. differing as they do in half a hundred states. The time has come when no co.p- ration. great or small should be allowed 10 do any interstate bushes. what soever until il has complied with rules and regulations setting ma tional standard at least as high as the corporation laws of England CT Of the state of Massachusetts. A step of this kind would remedy a great part of our existing business Oubles.-American Review of Re views
