The sensible demand has arisen
for an international conference in
order that an agreement might be
reached between the leading mari
time nations on the question of a
life-saving equipment on ocean
steamships Between New York and
Hamburg or Copenhagen a liner may
stop at the ports of four or five diff
ferent nations and wherever she
calls she comes under the jurisdic-
ton of the nation whose ports she
enters The laws of the United
States and England have been shown
by the Titanic catastrophe to differ
regarding the number of lifeboats
ship should carry, and of course
France and Germany have laws of
their own on the subject This is
manifestly a field where uniform
policy and uniform avs may appro-
priately be adopted on both sides of
the Atlantic for the safeguarding of
human life in ocean travel. All the
nations have identical interests to
conserve.

PUzzLERS OPEN
GRAND CIRCUIT
Surprises Developed in Two
Stake Events-One
Held Sensational.

Grand Rapids. Mich, july To-
Races that were so uncertain in their
probable results as to have the spec-
tators continually puzzled marked the
opening Of the grand circuit here
yesterday.
The two stake events, the Alcryon
purse, 1:oI class trotting n the
Grand Rapids Railway purse. 2:2o
class trotting. both developed sur
prises. The former held a real sensa-
tlon when Durfee, after driving Helen
stiles to victory in the third, fourth
and fifth heats, was fined 5000 for not
winning sooner.
After a heavy rain the track was in
only fair condition.
In the Alcryon stake 2:O7 trottins,
Dude Archdale. a slight %favorite,
won the first n second heats with
Gold Dollar a close contender. The
est trotted this season.
In the third heat Helen Stiles came
strongly to the front taking the lead
after Dude Archdale had led to the
stretch. In the fourth and fifth heats
Helen Stiles had things all her own
way, taking a big lead and Jogging
home comfortably. Durfes was then
called to the stand and lined 5000 for
not driving to win in the first and Sec
ono heats. Gold Dollar was drawn in
the third because of illness.
The Grand Rapids purse seemed
anybody's race in the first two heats.
Dictator Todd took the first. The
Beirne Holt came to the front in the
second heat. taking it and the two
following without trouble.
The 2:14 pace was easy for Henry
H.. After the first leaf which was
taken by Susie Bell.
Sunny Jim won the 2:07 pace, with
strong opposition in a. three heats.
The new point marking rule,
adopted last winter was used for the
first time on the grand circuit. Ac-
!cordlng to these the positions of the
horses in the various heats are added
together at the conclusion of the race
and the horses. aside from the win
ner are awarded positions in the
summary, according to their respec-
tive total points. This rule resulted
in some odd divisions of the none as
shown by the summary.

Is that good feeling that not only

You've got to hand it to Grand

town has demonstrated this season as
never before that its citizens are
boosters-all wool inc a yard wide.
The fans hoped to the business
right last night and did their part in
bringing a red-hot finish to a fast
game throughout. 1t was a grand
finale and the curtain went down on
at Dacotah park this season. Had

Presenting her case with such
eloquence as to hold the undi-

lawyers Miss Margaret Young, a
teacher in the Minneapolis public
schools, last week appeared as
her own attorney in the state
supreme court. She asked that
a Hennipen district court judg-
ment for $3.50 obtained against
her by Charles Linquist, contrac

remodeled flats belonging to her
at 26t6 Hennipen avenue and a
dispute arose as to payments.
Miss Young, who has taught
in the public schools from 1901
and who is on a years leave of
absence, was admitted to the bar
in 1906, but never practiced.
When the case was on trial in
