PROBE ACTION
Of POLICE

Declaring that police officers
placed him under arrest while he was
attempting TO convey a woman in the
throes OF an epileptic At to a hospital
and forced him to be the companion
TO a negro in riding in the patrol wag
on to the police station. Mongin F.

street" declared Mr.. Smith "she
was taken with a CONFUSION when
she learned OF her brothers near
death Wednesday afternoon.
Aided by B. T. Glenn, manager of
the theater, weplaced her in an am
bulance and drove 70 the Grady Hos
pital. While endeavoring to secure
her a ward in the hospital, we were
approached by two policemen who.
as / understand, had been summoned
by the hospital authorities when we
first drove up.
Despite our pleas to give us time
to see that Miss Parker was cared
for the policemen made us so to
the patrol wagon. Inside there was
hire cab. The police would not
a negro man. We complained against
riding with the negro and offered to
hear 10 this and showed us in the pa
troll. We rode TO the police station
in this manner.
After being held for nearly an
hour, while an investigation was be-
ing made, We were released"

of the army and navy for generations

Abolishing the Pyrenees.
From the New York sun.

l. rom the New York sun.
What neither Napoleon nor Louis XIV
could quite accomplish politically French
engineers are now achieving for the
world of commerce. Within the past few
weeks two great tunnels, which abolish
the Pyrenees as obstacles to Transports
ton, have at last been cut through from
France to Spain, and through these with
in few months trains will pass. bringing
Paris nearer alike to Madrid and BARGE
iona.
OF the two tunnels that We're recently
pierced the more interesting to travellers.
since it brings Africa as well as Spain
closer to central Europe. is the tunnel
which leaves French territory at Bourg-
Madame in the Cerdagne and energies IN
Spanish territory near Ripoli. Short lines
If rail yet to be laid will make it practi-
.ally a straight road from Toulouse to
Barcelona Hereafter travellers from
Paris to the Catalan capital will go south
by Limoges and Toulouse instead of max
ing the long dctour by Lyon, Tarascon
and Mines.
But the real value to the French of the
new route will be that ii supplies an al
most air line route from Paris to Carta-
African coast and only ore hundred miles
away. Oran is presently to he the termi-
nus OF the railway whics: viii connect Al
geria with Fee and the Atlantic cities OF
Morocco with the Mediterranean. and the
new tunnel will thus be link i'm this line.
In addition this railway will almost abol-
ish the water journey from France to Al
giers. which is SO justly dreaded by all
travellers.
The second of the tunnels pleases Span
ish politicians. Hitherto Spain has de-
pended for her land communication with
Europe upon the railways which skirt the
Pyrenees at the Bay of Biscay and the
Mediterranean shore. But on the from
tier at each of these points are provinces
which are frequently rebellious and al
ways disloyal The Basques of the west
are Carlsts, the Galatians of the east re-
publcans. The new line. while shorten
ing the journey from Madrid to Paris ma
terially, is chiefly valuable to Spain as it
gives her a railway line to France and
Europe through loyal provinces.
These two tunnels represent a part of
the price France paid for Spanish con oes-
sions in Morocco They have been built by
French capital and can hardly be self
sustaining, but their value to France Is
real both because they bring her African
empire nearer to her home territory and
open Spanish markets to French manu-
facturers.

Spectacular Sports.
o,n the Chicago Journal.

! From the Chicago Journal.
If interest i'm athletics were confined TO
athletes, the value of athletics would De
lessened about 90 per cent. The only way
to rouse public interest in athletic sports
is by their spectacular character.
The value OF foot bah lies in the ten
thousand prairie organizations when
train a hundred thousand boys in nerve
and team work each year. But these
prairie teams would not exist if the great
college teams did not give thrilling spec
tacles each fall These great matches
keep up that keen public interest With
out which foot ball would be forgotten
The same is true OF base ball. Every lad
swattinG balls in vacant lot modes lLS
play on that of some big league hero and
dreams of himself in that heros place on

A sport which is only "A spectacle would
not be worth much. But sport which
has no exhibition value never gets beyond
a small circle. II America ever finds
winter game to take the place which bas''
ball holds i'm summer and foot ball in
autumn, il will be game which rivals
these great sports in thrilling spectacular
appeal.
