WELCOMES PROBE OF
THE BASEBALL TRUST

Des Moines, Iowa, May Morris
j.. O'Neil, president of the Western
League. would welcome a congression-
al investigation of organized baseball
While practically admitting that the
contract system constitutes a trust,
Omen says it is the life of the organi-
cation and the game and benefits play
ers as well as owners. In a special
article written for the United Press he
ssays:
"A trust is usually regarded as a
combine to retard progress. There
has been much said on the question
OF the present plan of organized base
ball. Some have called it trust All
right, if it is trust, then it is bene-
ficial trust. because both the player
and the club owners have been bene-
fitted, especially the player. When
4 played baseball for $50 month and
board thought it was a big salary
and it was at that time. But now we
hear of salaries running into the
thousands have no objections to a
congressional investigation. In fact,
I invite a probe.
Baseball can exist under no other
plan than the present one. The player
Is the club. The club owner does not
buy the player. He buys the contract
and the contract represents the club
property Disrupt the present system
and it will mean death to any league"

PEACE CONGRESS
OPENS AT ST. LOUIS

st. Louis May 1.-Complete disar-
mament-the literally turning of the
sword into the ploughshare and the
Transforming of all battleships into
vessels of commerce, were the themes
of all speeches today at the opening
of the Fourth American Peace Con-
ference her. Peace DER all the earth
and good will between all nations, was
the way the quotation was para
phrased by more than one speaker
before a vast assemblage composed of
representatives from twenty-three
states and territories of the United
States and nineteen Central and South
American nations Among the SUBJ
jects discussed today in full session or
sectional conference were promotion
of international peace by organiza-
tions, inter American relations, uni
versities and the peace movement,
complete disarmament, The Hague
conference. international law and
needed improvements and the rela-
tion of commerce to international
peace.
President Woodrow Wilson, honor
airy president of the congress, sent a
message of good will in which he ex-
pressed his regret that press Of ad-
ministration business prevented him
from attending.
Figures were presented to the con-
gress tending to show that the world
today spends annually for war and
war equipment $4,000, 900, O0,OO0-enough
tp INV for tha onnctrt,ctinp of fiya Do
mama canals-and that adoption by
international agreement of the arbi-
tration method of settling internation-
al disputes with the subsequent re-
duction of armaments, would enable
the United States alone to divert many
millions to agricultural, waterway and
industrial projects that would bring
millions in return.
Sectional conferences occupied the
greater part of the afternoon, Inter
national Relations" being discussed by
John Barrett, director-general of the
Pan-American Union, and by Senior
Don Ignacio Calderon, minister from
Bolivia to the United States. "Univer-
stiles and the Peace Movement" was

president of the University of Michi-
gan; President Frank l. McVay, of
the University of North Dakota; Pres
ldent S. c. Mitchell, of the University
of South Carolina; Chancellor James
Hampton Kirkland, of Vanderbilt
University, and Professor s. F. Wes-
ton, of Antioch College. Others who
spoke today were Louis p. Lechner.

of Cosmopolitan Clubs; Mrs. Fannie
Fern Andrews, secretary of the Am
erican School Peace League. and
President Charles F. Thwing. Of West
ern Reserve University. Andrew Car
negie, Jenkin Llody Jones and Philip
Van Ness Meyers were the section
speakers on the symposium of disar-
mament. The conference meetings
were followed this afternoon by the
oratorical contest of the Intercollegf-
ate Peace Association in which ILL.,
nois, Iowa, Missouri. Nebraska, South
Dakota and Texas participated.

the present international problems
which confront the United States.

Since the old-fashioned theory of cur

salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate

He Won't Tell His Aue,

In earlier years 1t was rather diff
cult to find biography Of James Whit
comb Riley that gave the year Of his
birth. 1t was Riley's theory that this
was immaterial and unimportant.
Some one in Boston sent a telegram
to his publishers in Indianapolis sev-
eral years ago asking:
"How old Is James Whitcomb Ri
leyT'
1t was Riley's habit to visit the book
store Of his publishers every day, so
the telegram was held for his atten-
ton before sending an answer.
After he had read the telegram he
answered:
you telegraph back to them that
nobody knows the age of Mr.. Riley
but Mr.. Riley and the sphinx, and Mr..
Riley is not saying any more about it
than the sphinx. ."-Indianapo News.

There died recently at Southampton,
England, a dog known to many trans
atlantic travellers. Those young folks
who have crossed the ocean on liners
landing at Southampton in recent years
must surely have seen him and II so
will recognize his portrait. This dog
was Newfoundland, and his name
was very appropriately Sailor. With his
collecting box strapped across his
shoulders Sailor used to watch the COM
ing and going of all steamers at South
ampton. His mute appeal for funds to
aid the Seamen's orphanage was very
effective. and during his career he col
lected nearly $500 for that insttu-
ton. Sailor was eight years old when
death ended his life of usefulness.

A New Aid to Naval Gunnery.

Vice Admiral Percy Scott, who won
considerable fame during the siege Of
Ladysmith in the Boer war, has just
had a baronetcy conferred on him by
King George, and the belief Is enter
tained that the honor is the result Of
his ''fire director" which seems likely
to revolutionize gunnery in the Brit
ish navy. Recent tests, 1t is asserted,
prove that guns on a battleship fitted
with the appliance have been fired at
an accuracy 300 to 400 per cent great
er than those on another which had no
director.
