mind, says that the college man has an
advantage over the town-lot player, be-
cause he has a more systematic way of
thinking. This great base ball general
declares that a college player usually
tries to find his weakness: while the more
uncouth athlete usually tries to hide his.
Education in itself gives one no prefer
ence on the field. The force of muscle
and common sense wipes out all class dis
tinction. The busher who gets to the top
does so on his ball-playing merits and
not on his manners"
This is the first time that all the technic
connected with getting start and sue
ceeding in the big league has been told in
terms that can be understood by the
verfest layman, and the story will be read
with the widest possible interest The
most trifiing things sometimes affect an
aspirant's advancement-things that are
never known outside the inner circle. And
there is also class distinction between
the veterans and the recruits. Mr.. Bull
ger reveals all this most entertainingly.
The series will continue through several
installments.

WIRELESS AMATEURS
HIT BY SENATE BILL
Stringent Regulations Result
of Lesson Taught by the
Titanic Disaster.

With the lessons Of the Titanic hor-
ror before it, the Senate yesterday
afternoon passed bill containing
stringent regulations for wireless te-
legraphy. 1t is designed to prevent
interference of one message with
another. to give the S. O. S. signals of
vessels in distress priority over other
messages and generally to prevent
amateurs from interfering with COM
mercial and distress messages.
The lessons of the Titanic are seen
in provision Of the bill which reads:
All stations are required to give alb
solute priority to signals and radio
grams relating to ships in distress; to
cease sending on hearing a distress
signal. and, except when engaged in
answering or aiding the ship in dis
tress, to refrain from sending until all
signals and radiograms relating there
to are completed"
The Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor is given authority over all wire
less stations, for all Of them must pro-
cure licenses from the department and
all operators also must get licenses.
Rules Prevent Interference.
Rules and regulations in the bill aim
to prevent interference with messages.
Under the present development of the
science. there are some wave lengths ND
to $500 METERS Senator Bourne. in
charge Of the bill, explained to the SEN
ate yesterday. These would be eouiya-
lent to some thirty-four telephone lines
The government is given the right to the
exclusive use of eight Of these
telephone lines. in effect, which would be
the wave lengths from 600 meters to i. 900
meters. Amateurs are given the right to
use up to 2OO-meter wave lengths and the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor can in
his discretion. issue special permits to
use other wave lengths to amateurs or
individuals who are studying along the
line of wireless telegraphy
Then pure sound is provided in the
Dill, which is necessary to minimize the
possibility of interference. To the COM
mercial interests of the country are left
the use OF twenty-six telephone lines. rs
ing that term as a smile. So the re-
striction on the commerciar interests Is
not an unnecessary one to attain the OBJ
ject of the BILL"
The bill was originally designed to give
eject to an International agreement to
which the United States is a marty
through the notifications of the treaty a
rev weeks ago; but its scope and regu-
iaGons have been enlarged as the Titanic

NEW LAWS ARE NEEDED
TO SAVE WHITE SLAVES
Stanley W. Finch Tells of In
vestigation and Desig-
mates Remedy.

LOUISVILLE KY, May s.-Stanley W.
Finch. chief of the bureau Of investiga-
ton of the Department of Justice, who
addressed the Worlds Purity Federation
Congress at length yesterday. devoted
considerable portion of his speech to
discussion of the methods used by white
slave traffickers
Mr.. Finch explained the probable causes
which impel the so-called white slaves to
continue their immoral lives after they
realized their ignominy. He pointed out
that the majority of the victims were
from good families and had family pride,
and that their prosecutors made them
continue the life under the threat of ex-
posing them to their friends and ac-
quaintances Of other days, many of whom
believe the girls dead or earning an
honest living in distant cities.
The speaker stated that not fewer than
5000 young women and girls annually
are procured for the white slave traffic,
and that no fewer than $4,000 men and
women are engaged In procuring and liv-
ing on the earnings of these women and
girls, and that the number Of women
and girls held in slavery in the United
States at the present time Is estimated
at $4,000.
Authority of the Government.
Then the federal chief pointed out the
authority of the federal government to
deal with the traffic and showed that
under the federal Constitution there was
sufficient provision to enable the federal
authorities to enact and enforce appro-
pirate legislation to wipe out absolutely
every vestige Of the traffic.
1t was shown that about two years
;~xo <ox~
clause of the Constitution, Congress
passed a law making the enticing or CO.
ercing of women and girls to travel in
interstate or foreign commerce for any
immoral purpose crime.
New Laws Are Urged.
He added that the provisions of the
law should be extended so as to make
it a crime for persons to communicate
by mail. telegraph Of in any other manner
from one state or territory to another or
to any foreign country for the purpose
of inducing or persuadng any woman or
girl to travel in the interstate or foreign
commerce for purposes Of debauchery.
Mr.. Finch urged that the following
points should also be covered by legal
provisions:
First-There should be an act Of Con-
press authorizing a woman to testify
against her husband in cases where the
husband is accused of having used her
in immoral traffic.
STANDARDIZATION should be made by
law for the issuance of search warrants
wherewith any place could De searched
where there is probable cause to be-
lieve that any person is detained or held
in violation Of law.
Third-The law should provide for the
advancement for trial OF white slave
cases upon request Of the Attorney Gen.
eral.
Fourth-The law should also authorize
the arrest, without warrant, by the
properly authorized persons, of any one
detected in the act OF violating such
statutes.

HOLDS COST PROH|B|7NE
Senator Hitchcock Objects to
Expense of $4,000 for
Arlington Amphitheater.

Objections because of the $4,000 Of
expense involved prevented the passage
by the Senate yesterday afternoon of the
bill for the erection of a memorial amphi-
theater at Arlington National cemetery.
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska raised
the economy issue, and his objection
stopped the consideration OF the meas
ure.
The bill proposes the appropriation Of
$780, 600 for the construction Of the am
phitheater under the supervision of a
commission consisting of the Secretary
Of War; the Secretary Of the Navy. the
superintendent of the Capitol building
and grounds and I. G. Kimball Of the
G. A. r. 1t came up in the Senate while
measures on the calendar were under
consideration. Senator Brstow asked If
there was provision In the amphitheater
for holding funeral and burial exercises.
There is a bill before the military at
fairs committee he said, which pro-
vides for the erection of chapel at Ar
lington. 1t seems to me the chapel ought
to be included in this building"
Senator Sutherland, who reported in
favor of the BILL explained that there
were rooms In the amphitheater in which
such services could be held.
Strongly Urged by G. A. R.
This building was practically author
lied in 1909 10y the appointment OF COM
mission to prepare plans and by the ap-
preparation of money for that purpose. .
he added. 1.-The measure also is strongly
urged by the G. A. R., a large number of
the members of which appeared before
our committee
Further arguing in favor of the meas
ure, Senator Sutherland remarked that
the provisions for holding gatherings at
Arlington cemetery are now a disgrace
Many prominent people from all over the
world attend ceremonies at Arlington, and
some proper provision, he said, should be
made for housing ceremonies like that in
connection with the burial OF the Maine
dead.
but three-quarters of a million dol
lars" Senator Hitchcock remarked, is a
good deal of money to be put into
building for occasional use. l don't doubt
that an auditorium should be erected in
the cemetery, but the expense proposed
here is rather large for this time, when
we are considering economies in govern
mental expenditures"
This building is not only for use. but
it is commemorative Senator Suther-
land replied. I'VE ought not to erect
there a building that is not handsome or
ornate.
Il will ask that the bill go over Sena-
tor Hitchcock remarked. That ended the
discussion.

The attitude of the Roman Catho-

several sources:
