MANY REQUESTS
Said To Have Been Made TO Chief Of
Police Asking That He Rescind
Action on Segregated District.

Day after day. hour after hour.
Police Chief Thomas Leyland II be-
ing besieged by persons interested in
the red light district to withdraw his
iron clad order and to change his
mind on the question OF closing the
rooming houses and down where the
bright lights glow. The chief has
invited these people TO put their OBJ
jections in writing and give him per
mission to publish them. The
madames OF the district are not
great deal worried over the situation
as Il is said that they have sought
the aid OF lawyers. who say that they
cannot be driven from their homes.
providing they dispense with prosti-
tuition.
They also claim. Il Is said. that
they will turn their houses into board
ing houses and board girls who
work" Should one OF these girls
then have company. which II accord
ing TO nature and social laws, they
ask what can the police do. II would
be necessary under those rulings TO
keep a policeman in every place 10
watch that nothing criminal trans
pired. The girls also say that they
will take up boarding elsewhere and
that the police chief will have a time
proving that they do not live right.
And IL is also said that others will
make their homes along the Ohio
river towns and in other suburban
districts
In the face OF all this the CHER
seems satisfied TO wipe out the dis
graceful business altogether and 10
close every rooming house and every
other like place in the city. The best
people of the city are behind him and
giving their influence TO the thing
that has occupied the minds OF more
than one person in the last several
years.

WILSON'S VIEWS
Continued from First Pags1

both houses expect to concentrate
upon n few trust bills early in the
new year and to put through several
measures the need OF which has been
developed by recent investigations
and prosecutions II Is believed these
bills viii cover only part OF the field
OF trust regulation and will not at
tempt TO carry out all the reforms
considered necessary.
The president in his address 10 con-
gress last week urged that the Sher~
man antitrust law be left without al
teration and that any new laws be
made supplementary TO it, Some OF
the leaders in the discussion OF trust
legislation In congress are now urg-
ing that business be allowed TO read
just itself 10 the new banking condi-
tons and that the country be given a
chance 10 accept and reorganize bust
ness and finance under the new cur
rency law before laws are passed
bringing any general change in the
regulation or control OF corporations.
To Hit lnterIoekins OIrectorates.
The early trust bills probably will
be aimed et the adjustment OF inter
locking directorates and holding com
panies and possibly OF voting trusts
and fiscal agencies. Legislation
strengthening the rights OF minority
stockholders will also be asked for
and attempts will be made TO
strengthen the Sherman law so as TO
get rid of the effect OF the supreme
courts decision that reasonable" re-
straints OF trade are not unlawful.
These bills do not reach the re-
forms desired by the majority OF those
I'm the senate who have been most ac-
tive in the study OF the trust cues
ton. II has become apparent that
there will be strong effort there in
this OF the next session to create n
trade or Industrial commission similar
to the interstate commerce commits
sion and with the broadcast possible
powers OF control over all CORPORA
tons doing business across state
lines.

One batter in base ball certainly

race. according TO the official averages
OF the American League II is tougher
for man to make n good showing
with team that Is not up in the go
Ing. and Cobb deserves all the more
credit for his work
IL Is my opinion that Cobb IL the
greatest hitter OF all time. The veter-
ans, like Cap Arson. may talk OF the
performers OF their days. but I do not
believe they had any batter to class
with Cobb. IL is true that he has at
tanned higher averages in the past
than he collected for this year and
that he did not realize his ambition 10
hit more than 400 each season for
three consecutive campaigns. but he
has r grand average OF .40s for the
three eyars. according to the papers
here on the coast
IL is at terrific nervous strain that
Cobb accomplishes what he does. He
is a very high strung man. and he is
exceedingly ambitious. so that he frets
for fear that someone Is going 20 take
his crown away from him. Then.
every pitcher who faces him tries OK
ira hard against tho great slugRer. be-
cause all the crowds on the road de-
mand that cobb be struck out There
is nothing that a foreign crowd enjoys
more than TO SEQ some man who has
made big name for himself. fan
Then Il has a chance 10 boot him I
know that in my league ! always go
after Wagner with great care and
work on him, because he is dangerous
for one thing. and because OF his repu-
tation. Therefore. II will he seen that
Cobb's reputation Is handicap TO him
since he Is always going up against
the best pitching which can be served
10 him.
Eyes Are Weak.
Few persons know that Cobb's eyes
are not strong. on the contrary. they
are what occulists call weak. and one
IL much worse than the other. think
IL Is his left eve out Of which he can
see ONLY about two-thirds as well as
his right. His eyes are very suscept-
ible 20 any strain. and n he rides in an
automobile without goggles on. they
become infamed and sore. He has TO
nurse them and battle them all the
time

The Why Of IL

Some one was telling me recently
a story about Cobb and his hitting II
Is no secret that the great Georgian
frets about his work excessively. and
II Is this ambition and his spirit OF
dissatisfaction with himself which
make him the star he is. This story
illustrates his mental attitude.
The battle for the championship
was getting on my nerves about the
end OF August last year" remarked
Cobb. according 10 my informant. Il
