JIMMY CALLAHAN, HERO OF WORLDS
 TOUR, 40 TODAY

Who is the most popular man in baseball? There will be many an- swers to this question, but it is al cinch of the 1ead-pipe variety that James J. Callahan, manager Of the Chicago White Sox, would be right up among the leaders if a vote should be takens to decide this mat ter. JfmmY's great hosts of friends will shower congratulations upon him today, for this is the fortfeth birth day of the gifted manager who has just completed a tour of the world. Everywhere the globe trotters went Callahan was hailed as a hero, and not even the great Mcaraw got more applause.
 Jimmy was born in F,itchburg, Mass, March IS. 1873. and it is not ne 'cessary to add. that he is of Hibern- ian descent In fact, Jimmy is just as ardent home ruler as if he had been born on the ou1d sod. He be- gan playing ball with a sen1i-pro team in Massachusetts away back iii, 1 s93 and pitched so well that he got try out with the Phi11ies. In 1895 he twirle9 for Springfield, then in the Eastern League, and at the close of tie season he was drafted by bot1. Kansas City and Pittsburgh but was awarded to the former.
 The next year Jimmy made his de- l but in Chicago with the National ] League team. He was in the box for i the Cubs four seasons. but in 1901 ! he went to the White Sox. The fol- i lowing year Jimmy's pitching arm went back on him, and he was sent i into the ot1tffeId. He had his frs. experience as manager of the White [ Soy in 1903 when he assigned him i self to cover the third sack. The next year he resigned as manager and re- turned to the outer garden. Toward i the close of the 1905 season Jimmy
 sot1red on the White Sox, jumped or ganized ball, and for the next five years was captain, manager and mag 1 nate of the Logan Squares, Q Chi 1 cago independent club.
 Tn 1911 Jimmy did his famous l corneba stunt. He rejofned Con1is- | keys team and showed that he still 1 had the goods by playing an almost perfect game in the ourfeld and bat 1 ting .281. The next year Happy Ca1'' was appointed manager of the
 White Sox, and now Jimmy has req
 1ized the great ambition of his life
 by pi1oting his bAheba11 team around
 the world. Callahan isn't the great
 est manager that ever lived. nor was
 he the best pitcher. but at the gentle
 art of making friends Jimmy has got
 nearly all other players and pilots
 1ashed to the mast.

q pfta1 wards. He said that because of lack of accommodation, many who should be in bed were obliged to be about, and that as a result, men tdfed lin their boots.'' instead of in their beds. He suggested the use Of a room now devoted to club purposes for men, superannuated, crippled, blind and the like, as an additional hospital ward. In his discussion of hospital conditions he pointed out the lack of attendants. with one 1aatron and one nurse to provided for 50 pa tients in the hospital and insane ward. This developed situation that made it necessary for inmates of the institution to assume some of their duties.
 He wrote MT. Gordon that there should be adequate provision for More help with proper training is a crying need.
 pr. McQueeney explained the drug system of the home which he dis approved. While the Arugs are used
 mainly under the supervision of the
 doctor, the fact that the doctor is not
 resident of the institution makes it
 necessary for the nurse to take charge
 of the drug. especially in the case Of
 morphine users of which there are a considerable number.
 Dr. McQneeney verified the report of the employment of a drug user as an attendant in the ward for fe- male insane. He argued in favor Of the dispensing Of drugs to certain of the inmates, under the supervision of the doctor, lest the inmate, an habit ua1. user, should quit the institution for want of the drug and eventually return worse.
 The visiting physicians report also deals with the subject of whiskey He said he frankly and freely believed that the use of whiskey was an alp. so1ute necessity in the institution, in 1 the cases of old people for whom it's l use is purely medicinal. This is particularly the case, said he, in the eases of those who through lifelong habit have become accust toned to it's stimulation. But as to the quantity he estimated that not more than 4 l gallons should be used, whereas, now. l it is claimed that from 1 50 to 175 gal Ions are used during the year.
 AS to verEnin, Dr. McQueeney said l the institution was literally supplied with bedbugs and flies. There is nc other form of vermin. The walls l floors and beds teem with bedbugs 1 Numerous sincere efforts had been made to rid the institution of the pest l but because of lack of system and 1 lack of scientific method these efforts have failed. He suggested that the l board of health be asked to fumigat< | the place, and advised the installation of a sterilizer of sufficient capacity tc
 fumigate at once, an entire bed.

WEST POINT WANTS
 GAME IN NEW YORK

The large gathering of army officers at the West Point dinner at the Hotel 'Aster, New York, on Monday night took a decided stand on the question Of the place for the Army Navy foot ball game next November. To a man the army was in favor of New York, and during the dinner the officers passed a resolution that every mern- Der of the army would do all in his power to have the game played there
 The game, as played at the Polo Grounds last fall, was the biggest spectacle the two service schools have ever participated in, but the Navy is anxious to have the game played in Philadelphia again.

to Motorize Apparatus and
Eliminate Downtown Station.

Of the Fire Committee Of the Clty
Council, announced Saturday that a
meeting Of the Fire Committee would
be held next week Among the i'm
portan items OF business to be dis
cussed will be proposed a reairange-
ment of the present station districts
Of the fire department.
II is proposed to motorize the APP
paratus in order to do away with one
Of the central stations probably the
one on Carnegie way--and to en-
large the districts Of the others
Chairman Lee suggested Saturday
that all the steam engines be motor
lied and that the horses be sold.
With this scheme he proposed to save
the city considerable money each
year.
He argued that the up-keep Of mo-
tor apparatus was much less than
horses. also that such equipment
would enable the department 20 make
better time IL responding to alarms.
On the other hand Mayor Wood
ward favored the idea OF Keeping the
horses for the steam engines ana
placing motor trucks in all the OUT
lying stations.
among the other items to be con-
sidered is the revision Of the thcater

WILSON SILENCE
POLICY HIT BY
LAFOLLETTE

MILWAUKEE,, March 21.--The
following editorial by Senator LaFol-
lette, under tine heading. "A Policy of
Silence appears in the current issue
of LaEollette's Weekly:
why not let the public know every
fact In the possession of The Gov
crnment regarding the Mexican Sit
uation? What good purpose can be
served by continued policy of mys
terry and silence? Can not the Ad
ministration rely upon the patriotism
and sound sense of the American
people? Would not President VIII
sen be IN a stronger position to-day
IT, during the last six months, he had,
from time to time, by special mes
sage informed Congress and the
country fully as to conditions in Mex
leo, in so far as the interests of
American citizens and the interests
and responsibilities of the American
Government are involved?
Constant Danger,
Events of recent occurrence in
Mexico admonish US that at any mo-
ment that may transpire which will
compel the fullest publicity as to the
loss of life and property for which
the Government must assume some
measure of primary responsibility to
foreign powers, as well as to its own
people
Are we not in danger of holding
back the facts until some sweeping
act of violence uncovers a grewsOme
mass of wrong and horror that will
carry us with rush across the Rio
Grande?

when war came it came with the
blowing up of the Maine, and the kill

SHOULD crisis come in the Mexi-

President Wilson would find it in
finitely easier to control with steady
hand. if, in advance, he had reposed
the fullest confidence in the American

gent judgment every act and fact
which concerns this Government in
its relations to Mexico and the world.
