DETECTIVES KEEP
LINES A SECRET

The explanation Of the presence Of a
number of private detectives about
the quarters Of the Lafayette Club, in
Essington, came yesterday from an
apparently reliable source and is TO
the effect that the Lafayette Club,
made up of a group OF wealthy Della
ware county boat-racing enthusiasts,
have banded together to build a new
design yacht for the express purpose
of defeating Commodore H. Coleman's
dupont speedy power-boat. Tech, Jr.
The need of the detectives is found
In the fact that the new craft rs be-
ing built in the quarters OF the Lafay-
cite club, where It is proposed to keep
IL safe from prying eyes until it is
launched on March A, the instant
Woodrow Wilson is inagurated Presi-

James $. Mcfarland, commodore OF
the club. that persons sent out from
the camp of the Delaware Senator
were prowling around the boathouse
with cameras and displaying alto
gethor too much interest in the lines
of the new boat, which Is rapidly TAX

HURRY BATTERIES
f'OO 10. SPEED GAMES
Connolly Says TwirlerS Waste
Too Much Time With
Diamond Stunts

ITO speed the ball games" is now
the slogan OF the American League,
following the suggestion made by
President Ban Johnson at the annual
meeting of the magnates IN Chicago
last month. Umpire Tommy Connolly
recently offered a few suggestions that
may help. In Connollys opinion the
way to speed the games is to make
the batteries work faster and to begin
play at once upon the striking of the
gong announcing that the time for
play had arrived
Connolly claims that some Of the
pitchers use up, in the aggregate,
probably ten minutes in a game in
pretending to moisten the ball. when
it is all bluff and no moisture Is ap-
piled, the object being to mislead the
batsman into believing that he was
TO be served with a splitter He
said they generally used more time
In their efforts az deception than
would be used if they actually applied
the moisture, simply because they
overdid the thing Some of the
caichers lose time by Withholding the
signals while men are on the bases.
Some OF them start in with these tac-
tics al the very beginning OF the game
and keep II up all through. The worst
of It is that 1t usually accomplishes
nothing. for so much time is spent
on II that the opposing players have
an opportunity to dope OUT what
is coming eff and prepare themselves
accordingly, sometimes turning what
follows TO their own advantage.
Sometimes the substitute players
who are ON the field I'm practice with
draw reluctantly at the sound of the
gong. and make way too slowly for the
regulars who are TO begin the game

HARRISBURG
SENDS MYERS TO
WILKESBARRE

Joe Myers, the veteran Tri-State
ball player who lives in Wilmington
and has pitched for the Harrisburg
team for years, will drop out of the
league this year, he having been
traded by George Cockill for Paul
Dietz, shortstop, who comes from
the Wilkesbarre team of the New
York State League.
Joe Myers has been source Of
strength to Harrisburg and why he
has been let out is a mystery to every
body except Cockill The change,
however, is not a demotion for Joe,
the New York State League being in
the same class as Tri-State ball, Joe
morever may benefit by a higher
salary the limit up there being high
er than that on the local circuit Joe
expects to pitch as good ball this

KEEP Up FIGHT
FOR 10 HOUR LAW
Miss JayneS, DR.. Robin, Mr..
BurChenal and Miss Shear
man Speak for Measure


At the meeting held in the New Gen.
tury Club. on Saturday evening under
the auspices of the Ten Hour Law
Committee, the principal speaker was
Miss Alice Jaynes, secretary Of the
New Jersey Consumers League
Addresses were also made by Miss
Margaret II. Shearman and Dr. Albert
Robin. Before introducing the speak
ers, Caleb e. Burchenal, who was the
presiding officer for the evening. made
a brief address in behalf of the physi-
cal well being of the girls of the state
and nation. He stated that the health
of the future generations cannot be
preserved if the health of our women
is not taken care of.
A brief summary Of the bill to be
presented to the Legislature was cited
by Mr.. Burchenal.
Miss Jaynes gave many interesting
accounts relative to personal work
I done by her in her work for a ten
hour law in New Jersey.
A number of cases were cited by
Miss Jaynes. of work in factories
which had had physical effects upon
the girls, ifty-three having tainted in
one day because of the intense heat
of the temperature of the room, which
was necessary for that special line Of
work Laundries, she said, should
certainly be included in the law.
Miss Jaynes mentioned the applica-
tion of the law to the stores. and said
that the public and merchants would
soon adjust themselves to shorter
hours The fact that the New Jersey
law exempts the six days before
Christmas from the ten-hour ruling,
was deplored by Miss Jaynes. She
said in closing that she was sure
, Delaware would not allow its women
to work more than ten hours a day.
DR.. Robin said the effects on women
were most dangerous. Many cases. he
said, were not seen except at Hope
Farm, and at the dispensary.
We physicians, said he, see the re-
suits of this modern system of over
strain in human wrecks.
DR.. Robin emphaized the thought
that a fatigued person is naturally
more susceptible TO infectious dis
eases.
Miss Margaret Shearman referred
briefly that conditions in stores and
factories were much better since the
tes-hour law bill had been advocated.
This last Christmas, she said, the girls
in the stores worked fewer nights and
had shorter hours. Statistics we're
quoted by Miss Shearman to show that
thirty-two other states had adopted
either a ten-hour law or an eight-hour
law for women and Delaware, she
said, should not be behind in progress
sive legislation.
Miss Jaynes addressed the congre-
CATION at the evening service at ST.
| Paups M. f. church last evening, in
behalf of the ten-houT law.

SOCIALISM ! ! ! LLI,IISSINI
HAS DEFENDER
John W. SIaytOn Has No Fear
Of Doc ,rine Being
Destroyed
NOT ATTACK ON
RELIGION HE SAYS

Fully two hundred and fifty people,
many Of them women, filled Pythian
Castle yesterday afternoon to hear
John w. Stayton, of Pittsburgh, Pa,
talk on the Socialist party's attitude
towards atheism, etc
The meeting was presided over by
Edward Norton, Of this city, and the
stage in the large hall was decorated
with potted ferns. On the wall was
suspended the Socialist banner and
the American flag.
Mr.. Stayton said he had followed
through various cities David Gold
stein, who was to lecture in the Car
rick Theatre in the evening against
Socialism, and had heard him five
times AS a result the speaker dis
played q book. which he said was an
answer to Mr. Goldsteins address.
These were distributed and SIS worth
of them sold.
Mr.. Stnyton claimed that there we're
two ways to arouse ones hatred,
through religious and political preJu-
dice. He declared that the statement
that Socialism would destroy religion
was the method being used by the
capitalist class If religion is found
ed on truth, as the Church claims,
Mr.. Stayton said no man or set of men
being destroyed, Mr.. Stayton. de-
clared, we are not afraid of any man
harming the doctrine
4 L.. =
men and women we're in the Socialist
ranks, as there are in all other bodies,
"Yet. you don't condemp religion
because there are bad men under its
cloak" said the speaker
Speaking of Mr.. Goldstein, who de-
clared he was a former party member,
Mr. Stayton read an extract OF a
speech delivered by Mr.. Goldstein in
Boston, in which Mr.. Goldstein was
quoted as saying; I'VE have no con-
nection with any religious views that
certain members may hold We diff
fer as much in our religious opinions
as do the members of the Democratic
OF the members of the Republican
party do. / am not united with you
for religious purposes, directly.
am united with you because / believe
in establishing a condition of affairs
where the industries will belong to
the people"
This Mr. Stayton said. was Mr..
Goldstein's language, and while a man
may change his mind, he doubted that
Mr. Goldstein changed his.
As for alleged danger to the family
by reason Of Socialism. the speaker
quoted at length from reports of vari-
Gus commissions showing the results
of the white slave traffic" and asked
if these conditions existed under So
cialism. In this connection. Mrs
Stayton read a prayer written by Miss
Catherine Cressy, of Kalamazoo, Mich.
who was one of a number of corset
workers on strike there. This prayer
he said. was made for better condi.
tlons, not under Socialism, but under
our present conditions. and as botl
religious and capitalist followers have
to eat, he urged all people to unite
on the bread and butter question.
This is Socialism which has nothing
to do with ones religious or family
views, Mr.. Stayton said.
AT the close of the meeting II was
announced that May Hayes, the labor
leader, and a delegate to the A. f
of L., would speak here on February
ms, and other speakers would visii
/ this city every two weeks thereafter

knell was sounded of the proposed
race track of the Havre de Grace Fair
Association, located on the Wolf farm,
which adjoins- the Hartford Breeders
Association track. near Havre de
Grace. by refusing to grant it Ii
cense for racing dates during 1913.
In taking action against the addi-
tional track the commission felt that
to permit il would be overriding the
racing spirit that exists in the county
at the present time The attitude OF
the commission TO end gambling on
the Havre de Grace track and adopt
the parimutuel system of betting has
had a salient effect through the coun-
~ and a majority of the people are
now in favor of letting the racing go
