ROUND WORLD FLIGHT
is AN AID TO PEACE

San Francisco, Feb. 18.-World fa-
nous advocates of peace have realized
the significance of the 1915 aerial race
around the world in it's bearing on the
movement for closer unity of the
nations and the wheels already have
begun to turn in carrying out this
broader aspect of the competition. Ar
mold Kruckman, manager of the bu-
reau of aeronautics of the Panama Pa
cific exposition, received yesterday a
long communication from Baron de
'Estournelles De Constant of Paris, one
of the leaders of the movement for
The Hague tribunal, in which the BAR
on. heartily indorsed the race, eX-
presses his faith in it's feasibility and
touches on the international peace
phase of the contest.
Kruckman also received a communi-
cation from Count de la Vaux of Paris,
who also gfives enthusiastic indorse-
ment of the race, and declares his con-
viction that flight around the globe
is by no means impossible. Prominent
informed of the messages Of Baron De
Constant and Count De La Vaux, have
begun and organized movement to
unite the great peace propagandists
ir. an effort to brine the nations of
the world to an acceptance as the last
step in the levelin0 of international
barriers by mans conquest of the
forces of nature.
Communications already have been
sent to leaders of the world peace
movement in Europe and America,
asking their cooperation in the fur
therance of the contribution to the
cause of world amity, several already
having indicated willingness to par
ticipate.

ST. LOUIS HAS PLANS
FOR A BIG PAGEANT

St. Louis, Feb. 1S.-"The biggest
drama ever staged in America" is the
promise made today by William w. lie
Baume, chairman of the productions
committee, in announcing the detailed
plans of the pageant and masQue of
st. Louis, which will held at Forest
park the last week in May, commemo-
rating the 150th anniversary of the
founding of st. Louis by Pierre La
clede.
"The days of the mound builders,
the coming of the French and Span
ish, the founding of the city, the early
struggles Of the English with the In
dians, the period of the Daniel Boone
pioneers, are among the picturesque
events which will be enacted by cast
of $500. drawn from the city itself.
Art Hill, the natural hippodrome of
Forest park, will provide a seating ca
pacity of 100000
"Our aim in giving the drama" said
Mr.. La Beaume today, sis to upbuild
a community spirit, and already we
have come to see there is no way bet
ter of doing this than by getting the
people interested in having drama of
contributing their share of the work,
with the result that we shall have
probably the biggest civic play move
me ever brought forth in this coun.
try. There is no doubt either but the
wonderful beauty of the drama itself
will have lasting effect upon the lives
of our citizens"

APPEALS TO WILSON

New York, Feb. 1S.-In connection
with the New York Athletic club and
Annapolis swimming fiasco, in which
members of the Winged Foot organi-
zation competed against the unregis-
tered middies team, and thereby dis
qualified themselves from further COM
petition in A. A. U. circles, James M
Sullivan, chairman of the A. A. U
registration committee, today an.
nounced that he would communicate
with President Woodrow Wilson and
ascertain if it was in accordance with
the practice of cadets infringing rules
which were calculated to improve the
standard of athletic amateurism
throughout the United States.
81 have no doubt" said Mr.. Sulli-
van. "that President Wilson, as an old
football player and college athlete who
was amenable to athletic rules while
he was at school. will want the future
officers of the United States navy to

Both major leagues, it was under

w. Murphy, were willing to allow
Weeghman to come into Chicago with
an American association club, but they
insisted that he should buy it at big
price. They refused to buy off the
Federal opposition with gifts. Johnson
declared that this would be an admis-
sion Of weakness on the part of organ
lied ball. The St. Paul and Toledo
clubs were willing to be transferred.
New York, Feb. 18.-If Joe Tinker
will produce a cablegram which he
says he received from G. w. Murphy,
who was in Europe when he learned
that the shOrtstop had been sold to
Brooklyn by Cincinnati for $25,O00,
the National league man will bring a
charge of tampering against the clubs
owner. When Tinker was here the
other day he said:
murphy cabled to me to have moth
ing to do with the Brooklyn club until
l had heard from him. 1t was clear
case of tampering with me and SER
ious offense against organized base
ball"
The National league men, it is said,
will ask Tinker to produce the cable
gram if he has it in his possession. If
not he will be asked to get copy from
the cable company. There is some
doubt, however, as to Tinker's real
attitude toward Murphy. Organized
baseball men told a story yesterday
to the effect that several weeks ago
Tinker, who was ready to desert the
Federals, named Murphy as the man
with whom to conduct the negotiations,
whereupon the matter was dropped

IN THE RING
BY w. w. NAUGHTON

San Francisco, Feb 18.-There was
never time when modesty was as a
milestone around the neck of Ad VOL
gast. In a letter received by the
wildcat" in which he declares that
he is back to his old fighting form and
equal to the task of whipping any man
of his poundage on earth, the Cadillac
youth styles himself "last and next
lightweight champion" If he had
thought of it, no doubt. he would have
signed himself last, present and next
lightweight champion.
Wolgast is boxing rather frequently
for fellow who has bout with a
worlds champion looming up in the
near future. He fought last night
in Cincinnati and he has a match at
Windsor, Ont, ON February % and
another at Ionia, Mich. on the 28th.
Considering the way Wolgast clam
ored for match with Richie it
might have been thought that when
the opportunity he longed for present
ed itself, he would have Cancelled all
pending ring engagements and held
himself in reserve for the important
occasion. Instead he is tackling sec
ond and third raters as often as he
gets the chance.
1t is notorious fact that Wolgast's
hands go wrong very easily. After
nearly every bout he figured in out

SEES NO HARM If
MEN DANCE WITH MEN

New York, Feb. 18.-"Plays and
moving picture shows which deal with
the vice problem should be performed
before audiences composed of parents
only. AS for the modern dancing, l
am told that certain elderly persons
have found it beneficial. Such being the
case, l would be in favor of prescrib-
ing it to candidates for the cemetery.
If the exercise it provides is bene-
fetal, can see no harm in the dances,
provided there is segregation of sexes
in the dance, the men dancing with
men and the women with the women"
1t was the Rev. M. A. Mathews,
pastor of the First Presbyterian

sociated with Mr.. MacKaye in the pro-
duction of "The Bird Masque," both
as actor and producer; Thomas Wood
Stevens, head of the school of drama

Stevens is the author of The Pag-

The cost of the entire production is
