CITY ENJOYS A
QUIET SUNDAY
Few Arrests to Mar Peace
of First Sabbath
of May

The humidity OF the day was given as
the reason By the police for the quiet
ness of yesterday and its general free
dom from infractions of the law. Up to
an early hour this morning no unlawful
homicides had been reported to mar the
peaeefulness of the beautiful first Sunday
in May
on the docket in the city jail there were
jotted down quite number of arrests,
but all were for minor offenses. How
ever. the work of the plainclothesmen
was in evidence by the large number
of Sunday gamers who were brought to
the city jail The blind tigers also felt
the heavy hand of the law yesterday as
Sergeant Shirley, in conjunction with De-
tives McGili Christian, DAILY and Garner
raided several of these alleged offenders
An amusing incident of the blind tiger
raids was that large amount of 'eSi-
dence" was gathered together to convict
the alleged infractors against the revenue
law

Bombardment of kilograms

London. May 4.-The Vienna CORE
spondent of the Times says that Baron
Conrad, chief of the Austrian staff. is
reported 10 be bombarding General Polio,
chief of the Italian staff, with kilograms
in favor of the occupation of Albania.
THE late Austrian statesman, De Kali
lay, a competent Judge of Albanian af-
fairs" continues the correspondent, as
sured me a decade ago that no European
power could occupy Albania with less
than 100000 well trained troops accus-
omed TO mountain warfare and denounced
| the folly of any statesman who should at
tempt it,
Conrad is not a statesman. but sol
dier. He fears no foe and does not shrink
from the prospect of undertaking this
task in Albania and at the same time
settling accounts with Montenegro. and
in employing another army to maintain
martial law in Bosnia and Herzegovina
and Dalmatia. He would even be ready
to take ON Servia, while leaving others to
watch the sardonc smile of Russia NJ
seeing Austria break her teeth on Balkan
granite. At the same time Italy crlpples
the Dreibund by adding the responsibility
OF Albania to the responsibilities already
incurred in north Africa

ELKOURIE SPEAKS
ON SUFFRAGE ISSUE

Before a small Audience DR.. II. A Ell
kourie delivered an address purporting =
show the disadvantages of granting suf-
frage to women yesterday afternoon under
the auspices of the Peoples forum. The
address was given in the Amuse-U thea
tre. at Nineteenth street near Second ave-
nue. north
Contrary to all expectations, the fact
that DR.. Elkourie was to speak against
woman suffrage did not create the furor
that was anticipated and the eminent
orator-physician was able to deliver his
address without police protection, as the
score of persons who braved the heat OF
yesterdays sultry afternoon will attest.

YALE HEADING
BASEBALL RACE

Boston, May 4.-The baseball season OF
1918 among colleges of the east, which
passed the preliminary stage with yester-
days games. has been remarkable, large
ly for the showing of Yale.
In the race for the somewhat mythical
title of intercollegiate baseball champion,
Yale with II consecutive victories, is gem
orally conceded to have taken an appre-
ciable lead. Yale has been beaten only
hy Pennsylvania and retrieved this de-
feat by an overwhelming victory over the
same team a week ago.
Followers of Harvard, Pennsylvania

Amherst have found much in recent
games to encourage hopes.

count, although this has no official
confirmation
The occupation of Albania by Austria
fnd Italy is becoming more and more
probable each day.
1t is reported that Italian minister
OF war has already ordered an expe-
dition to be prepared. The prospect
is regarded with the greatest uneasi-
ness in Austria and Russia. owing TO
the possible effect on the Slav popula-
tons, Russia will use the utmost pres

ment published in Sofia undertake the
role of arbitrator between Servia and
Bulgaria.
A Cettinie dispatch to London news
agency says that the Montenegrin cab
met mas resigned as protest against
the policy of evacuating Scutari.
Deny Agreement
Semi-official Italian newspapers warm
ly repudiate the existence of any
any agreement with Austria for the
partition of Albania into Austrian
ana Italian zones of influence. But in
European capitals this is regarded as the
most likely outcome of any Austro-ltalian
expedition to 'pacfy Albania.
The Austrian papers publish dispatches
indicating anarchic conditions in Albania
arising through the operations of troops
under Essad Pasha and Djavid Pasha.
1t has been asserted al Vienna that Aus
tro-ltalian expeditions would be sent into
Albania, whether Scutari was evacuated
or not. In fact, the question of Scutari
row seems to be subsidiary to that OF
Albania.
