! NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. I
FIRST PERFECT BALL
GAME ON RECORD.

The greatest possible feat in
baseball pitching-a perfect game
was accomplished in Cincinnati
by Bob Long. famed pitcher of
the old California State league.
Bob now is out of the big show,
but has been coming back once
year to twirl the yearly game
for Mitchell's former leaguers
against Mulaney's Mayos. Old
Bob demonstrated that he still
has the cunning and the stuff to
put on the ball, for not hit was
registered against him, not a
base on balls did he give, he hit
no batter, he had no errors be-
hind him, just twenty seven men
. faced him in nine innings. and
each one was a strikeout vic
. tim. 1t was perfect game, the
only one on record. 1t is possi-
. BILE. but highly improbable. to
equal the feat, but utterly impos-
. sible to beat 1t. Longs pitching
!. was the personification of air

Crack White Heavyweight Is Always

Since Gunboat Smiths decisive ce-

In the Gunner. however, Langford met
his match and was clearly outfought
in the majority of rounds.
The Gunner is an ideal type of fight
ing man-tall, quick and game. His
muscles are the long, ropy kind that
carry the snap behind a punch and do
not tire. Another thing that is great
~ in his favor is the fact that he is
always down to weight. Many of the
white hope crop go into the ring forty
or fifty pounds over weight and 60

WEDNESDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 10, 1914
GOOD SUBJECT FOR INVESTIGATION.

sharp criticism is heard in Hunterdon county
particularly in the vicinity of Pennington, of con
dition said exist there and which, if it does exist
seems to justify the criticism, and furthermore calls
for thorough investigation and the speedy applica-
ton of a remedy in the interest of public policy. The
criticism involves private enterprise reformatory,
said TO be branch of the George Junior Republic and
Is located near Pennington Junction
1t appears from the statements that youth, said
to be an inmate this institution. pleaded guilty to
charges of sending false alarms of fire and enter
ing two stores in the Borough of Pennington for the
purpose OF robbery. He sentenced to the State
Reformatory at Railway.
In a confession to the jail keeper at Pennington
he implicated as accessory to his acts, another
inmate of the George Junior Republic branch and al
legged that this youth had been provided with ticket
to Maryland by person in authority at the instu-
ton, and had gone to that State. He further said
that the boys were encouraged to foraging expedi-
tons neghboring farms by rewards for the goods
toniscated.
While these are matters that the authorities will
no doubt PROBE attention is called to the fact that
so-called ''reformatories" homes" subject to
neither municipal control and responsible TO
40 recognized authority for even financial manage
fnent or regulation, permitted TO take root and
flourish in New Jersey.
This State to be a soft mark for nomadic
individuals who under the cloak of philanthropy,
establish institutions here and erect pretentous build
ings and make great show of benevolence. These
individuals rule from New York Pennsyl-
nia or other States and pose specialists in char
table and reformation work There have been several
notable exposures, where it revealed that the
name of charity misused to impose upon the good
nature of the public and to prey particularly upon
persons known to be generous-hearted.
New Jersey has many State institutions estah-
ished and supported for carrying out charitable and
reformatory ideas, every city has similar places well
guarded from designing persons and regulated by
law. and there besides private charities without
number conducted by local people of known repute
and sincere and earnest.
Yet outsiders, of tribal propenstes, invade New
Jersey and locate here carrying reormatories in
dependent of State municipal control, and pre-
sumably without charter authority to houses OF
correction, while ndustriously gathering in the dimes
dollars of the public Isn't 1t high time that the
authorities take up matters of this kind?

SUBMARINES THAT CANNOT DIVE.

Confederation of views expressed by John P. Hol
land, jr., of this city, OF the famous submarine
inventor John P Holland, who died short time
ago. that our submarine boats practically worth
less they neither dive turn expeditiously,
was furnished by Commander Yates Stirling jr, be-
fore the House committee naval affairs yesterday.
Mr.. Hollands opinions published exclusively
in the Evening Star of Saturday, December IL.
Among other things he said that 1t is fact that
there is none of the submarines in this country or
Europe of any value whatever for work on the high
seas, either independently when accompanying a
fleet, for coast defenses for any service where
they have the protection Of the OF forts
or of ships against the attacks of destroyers or tor
pedo boats carrying spar torpedoes
They are too unwiedy and sluggish and always in
danger of being down. as they cannot be manipu-
lated so as to dive dodge in time to avoid peril
The senior Holland had repeatedly warned the gov
eminent of this condition and advised construction
the contingencies referred to, but in keeping
with a habit that seemed to have been studied in
his case the great inventors suggestions and admo-
nitions were ignored.
tons like man afraid to tell the whole truth,
declares that sixteen out of seventeen OF our sub
marines dive be submerged at will, neces-
sary qualities in a submarine during battle.
Altogether it looks as If the words and warnings
of the Newark inventor were ever wise and timely

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How an Alleged War Prediction Originated

to deny 1t. He never would deny
any accilsati ton unless 1t was one of a
personal character, for he believed
that 1t was impossible for a denial
to catch up with an inaccurate
statement.
There was, however, an incident
upon which this report was based.
My father was on his way to WASH
ington to take his seat in the SEN
ate at the opening OF the short ses-
sion OF Congress on the first Monday
of December, 1850. It CHANGED. the
night of his arrival at New York.
that the New England Society was
holding its annual banquet at one OF
the large hotels. My father was in.
vited to attend, and was asked to
say something to tho New England
ers. At that time there was a good
deal Of talk about secession and some
anxiety lest war should follow an
attempt to create new government
south of Mason and Dixon's line.
Father was persuaded that during
the winter this excitement would be
ended or lessened, and that satisfac-
tory measures might be taken to
bring about an amicable adjustment
OF the difficulty, so he said to the
New Englanders that there remained
from sixty to ninety days before the
new administration began, and that
in that time 1t was possible and prob.
able that measures would be adopted
and agreements reached to avert the
crisis.
THAT was all father said. There
was no war then and no certainty
that there would be war. There were
some three months In which il would
be possible 10 reach and adopt meas4
nres that would be satisfactory TO
both sides. Out of that simple sur-
gestioh arosC the report that INV
father had predicted at the beginning
of Lificolns administration that the
war would be over In sixty DAYS. n
Is useless 20 attempt to correct thai
mistake 1t has become historic, and,
like many other predictions that nave
no basis, has got into history
