TONY JANUS IS ELkHD /.
At AIR LINES SUCCESS
Young Washington Aviator Plotting
Passenger Craft Over !.
:.
Tampa Bay. =

Tony Janus. the young Washington
aviator who created an international reps
utation last fall by flying a hydro-aero-
plane 1000 miles down the Mississippi.
has just completed his first month as the
pilot of passenger-carrying airboat line
In Florida. This is just a short line.

perience has at least demonstrated the
practicability of the passenger line.
though, of course. the novelty OF the
service probably has added to its popu-
larity in keeping the line fully booked
for its four daily trips r.
As a feature of the commercial end of
the experiment. the fare was made Sd:
lust the same as the automobile fare be-
tween the two towns. The flying boat.
however, makes the single journey in "A
little more than twenty minutes. while

200 pounds. d.
More Boats Ordered.
There is only one boat in service on ths
line though more have been ordered.
The most interesting thing from the view
point of the public has been the relia ability
of the service, which compares favorabfv
with an automobile.
The time of the runs on a single day in
January were %. -, 22iz and n minutes
The schedule was interrupted only on
the second day of operation when there
was lubricating trouble. During the re
mainder of the time only four descents
to the water have been made. Three of
these were caused by spark plug trou-
BILE. and the fourth was to pick up some
ducks that had been shot by a passenger.
Spark plug trouble was responsible also
for the slowest trip that has been made,
fifty minutes. when the boat had to come
down in bad gale in the middle OF
Tampa bay, but the boat stood the rough
water without injury for twenty minutes
and finished the run under its Own
power. The average time of the trips 30
far has been 23S minutes. -
One of the latest passengers carrted
was L. d. Forest Of Washington. Janus
is decidedly elated at the success of the
experiment from commercial stand
point as showing the commercial prae-
ticability of the aeroplane. He started
his flying experience at College Park
about three years ago. and since then
has made 9.Oe0 flights. 5000 of them
being passenger-carrying ones. -

RUMOR HAS FEDERA[S
SETTLING UP STRIFE
Gilmore, Weeghman and Walker
Leave Chicago Hurriedly on
Summons From Gotham.

CHICAGO, Ill. February 10.-Sensa-
tional rumors were floating around base
ball headquarters yesterday when it be-
came known that James A. Gilmore.
president of the Federal League: Charles
H. Weeghman, president of the Chicago
Federal League club. and his business
partner. William NJ Walker. departed
suddenly for New York, presumably TO
attend the meeting of organized base
ball which is now being held there.
One story was to the effect that they
had been invited to attend this meeting
by the national commission with view
of placing the new league in organized
base ball.
Another story was TO the effect that
inasmuch as a base ball war was certain
and that the opening gun would probably
be fired at this meeting, Gilmore.
Weeghman and Walker wanted to be on
the ground to meet the attack.
There was still another report, which
had to do with the selling out of the
Federal League to organized base ball.
with the promise to abandon the new
league upon payment of certain sum
which would reimburse all promoters.
pay the contract salaries of all ball play
ers now In the Federal fold and to restore
become affiliated with the Federal League
of professional base ball clubs.
Just before boarding the train Mr..
Gilmore was asked two questions as
follows:
Are you bound east to sell out to or
ganized base ball?'
Are you headed to New York for
the purpose of joining organized base
ball?"
His answer TO both questions was:
Il cannot discuss either subject. l am
in too much Of a hurry.
Ban johnson, president of the Ameri-
can League, though apparently well
posted on the movements of the rival
league magnates, said he knew nothing
Of the purpose of their journey. He
did say. however, that he was opposed
to the proposition to plant an Ameri-
can Association team in Cleveland,
though on the suggestion that third
team be placed in Chicago his objec-
ton was not SO strong. Johnson left
for New York, accompanied by his sec
retary, William Harridge, and Harry
Grabiner. who will represent the Chi
cago Americans at the American
League meeting Wednesday. President
johnson planned a brief visit at Phila-
delphia en- route.
The American League president had in
timated that organized base ball would
not enter the courts In the war with the
Federals, but said that any player who
began the season with the outlaw cir
cult probably would be let go.

Adopt Eligibility Rule.

This spectacular occurrence natural
" centered attention upon the subject
OF professionalism. AS a result Of the
agitation which followed. six colleges,
namely. Amherst. Brown, Dartmouth,
Harvard. Princeton and Yale, met in
the old Massasoit House at Springfield,
December &, 1879, for the purpose Of
drafting a common eligibility rule and.
if possible. to form base ball league.
Their deliberations eventually produced
both. The rule adopted on that occa-
sion ran as follows:
Amy student who has been in resu-
lar attendance for the whole OF any col
lege year in any department shall be
eligible in that year for the nine. Any
student who after this date shall play
upon a professional team or who snail
play for money shall not De eng!pIe-

the summer resort nine. the manufac-
tory nine. and the small city amateur
nine. some of which were so managed
that the public unconsciously. but ac-
curately, styled them as 'sem-amateur
mines. These organizations. likewise.
chiefly sought the college stars. Again
no objection was raised at first to the
collegi;a playing with these teams. pro-
vided he received only his expenses
1T was not long. however. before
rumors were rife OF padded expense ac-
counts. of highly valuable gifts. OF high
salaried commercial positions in which
no service was required. and even of
secret pay rolls. Not only were the
collegians embroiled In charges and
these summer teams likewise joined the
hue and cry. The divided allegiance of
some of the latter led them to furnish
secretly to their college proofs of the
professionalism Of rival collegians.
Foot Ball Suffers Most.
"cur;ously. it was foot ball that suf-
fered most from the ensuing storm, due
| to the double fact that the foot ball sea-
| son followed base ball and that the star
of the diamond usually was a star Of the
gridiron. Thus the fall Of 1889 found the
| old American intercollegiate Foot Ball
| Association. which had founded and nur-
tured the intercollegiate game. locked in
bitter row over charges Of professional
ism which had risen in summer base
bali-a row that eventually wrecked the
association. This was followed by simi-
/ lar controversies among the various in
stitutions forming dual leagues in atil-
\ letics. and the breaking of intercollegiate
relations made a great din during the
early years Of the decade Of the nineties.
| The bitterness Of the rival student bodies
extended to the alumni and>to the facul-
ties. Thus the condition became intoler.

| Up 10 this time college faculties had
regarded competitive athletics as exclu-

institution had reached a stage of evolu-
ton when it was as much q matter OF
instruction or business administration

CITES MANY FAULTS
OF SUMMER BASE BALL
Parke Davis Says It Leads to Pro-
fessionalism, Disrupting
College Sports.

NEW YORK. February 10.-That sum
mer base ball." the most important issue
in current college athletics. is not a
modern sport evil is attested by Parke
Davis in a treatise recently prepared
on this subject He writes:
The testimony of experience is
strongly against the practicabihty of
summer base ball. In the early days
OF the diamond. the decade Of the 7Os.
eastern college stars were in great de-
mand by the professional teams, for
in that period the college mines, particu-
larly Harvard. Princeton and Yale, were
superior to the city mines. For a time
there was no objection to the collegians
playing with the professionals during
the summer vacation. although the for
mer openly were paid for their services.
In the spring of 1879. however. two IA
nous college players from the same
institution, who after graduation were
playing with a great city nine, suddenly
left the professional team. re-entered
college and by their presence lifted their
college nine from the rear to the front
in the intercollegiate campaign.

No Scientists In Burglary.

Scientific burglary absolutely does
not exist" says M. Xavier Guichard,
one of the foremost detective authori-
ties of Paris. And away at one sweep
of official truth vanishes the walking
wonder Of housebreaking and safe
cracking against whose miraculous
equipment 1t were vain to set up or
binary bolts and bars Along With the
scientific burglar, too. we may place
in the gallery of the nonexistent the
social highwayman, the gentleman bur-
glar. the Arsene Lupins and all their
class Of gallant, indomitable offenders.
What people do not realize" M.
Guichard continues, "is that burglars
belong to an inferior grade of human
ity and are very seldom intelligent"
Plain facts of record have shown
over and over that a career of crime
does not pay. Nor does it appeal to
the intellect. a man with brains
enough to be scientific burglar would
make an easier and better living with
out risks in some honest line AS for
the romance of crime. it exists only
in books. and the man who writes
about it knows better than to seek it
through experience. New York World.

Frank w. Hoard and Harry H. Cur
tbs this week decided to the city to be
used for park purposes, the stretch of
river bank on the north side, beginning
a block below the railroad bridge and
extending to the city limits. This in
cludes all of the river bank as describ-
ed, excepting about Is rods owned by
A L. Merriman. There have been a
number of people in the last few years
trying to buy pieces of this land and
the appreciation of the public is GER
tainly due Mr.. Hoard and Mr.. Curtis
for keeping this beautiful piece of
shore line free from unsightly uses.
With very little outlay in terracing and
the addition of shrubbery it will de-
velop into very attractive riverside
park property. Its convenient location
will make it much used and appreciated
by the public.

MEAT INSPECTION.

The United States government pro-
vides for inspection of all meat pack
ing plants which are engaged in inter
state and foreign commerce. The
methods employed in large plants are
exceedingly interesting. First, an in
spection is made of all live animals and
suspects are culled for especially
careful observation and regulated han
ding. After slaughter, each process
in the further preparation of the car
cass for market is carefully watched.
The inspectors become highly skilled in
the detection of evidences of diseased
tissue which passes under their eyes
and hands.
AS in the case of the first live in
spection upon the first suspicion of dis
ease, an indelible brand suspends fur
ther preparation of the meat The
carcass is then shipped to a special ex-
aiming room for further study and
final disposition. By this means, to
reach the consumer the body of dis
eased animal would have to pass the
marvelously keen observation of num-
Der Of highly skilled inspectors.
The diseases most often found are
tuberculosis and actinomycosis in cat
tie; tuberculosis, hog cholera and vari-
Gus blood and organic diseases in swine.
Some states have provided for in
spection of abattoirs not under federal
jurisdiction. Wisconsin has made no
such provision. Dealers are sometimes
suspected of offering for sale to in
spected packing houses only those ami
mails which are presumably healthy. If
this be so, meat from uninspected
slaughter houses is apt to be consider
ably below the normal average as con-
Germs freedom from disease.
In addition to the detection of dis
eased meat, the inspectors maintain
close surveillance over the general
cleanliness of the plant. If the pack
ers ever resented the rigid demands Of
the government, no such resentment is
now manifest. Undoubtedly they rec
ognize the government stamp of ap-
proval to be of distinct commercial
value.
