BASEBALL AT THE PEN.
Prisoners Have League-Ffrst Team
Defeats Soldiers ITO.

Leavenworth, Kan, May 4.-Eight
hundred men, prisoners in the state
penitentiary, for two hours yesterday
afternoon forgot that they were shut
off from the outside world, for the
missing link was supplied by an exhi-
bition of baseball. While the game
may not have been of high order yet
it was a game and those 500 men
rooted, shouted, stamped, whistled and
enjoyed every second of it.
A team representing the Second
squadron of the Fifth cavalry of Fort
Leavenworth and the Lansing Black
Sox, the first prison team, met in the
initial contest of the season. And of
course the prison team won, said War
den Botkin. The score was II to O..
1t is probable that games will be ar
ranged with outside teams once each
week. There is a league at the prison.
too, and games are played during the
noon hour. In addition to furnishing
valuable recreation for those taking
part it relieves the strain of the other
inmates and makes them forget that
the great sunlight of the outside has
been b1otted out for few years.

PRICES ARE CUT
Fewer Drunken Men Are APP
pearing in Police Court.
No Boys Are Being Hailed Be-
fore ellis Honor"

Following numerous changes made
in the personnel and policy of the
force during the first month of the
House administration, affairs at police
headquarters have again assumed
their regular routine. The policy of
the force under Chief Parsons is read
lily shown by the nature and number
of arrests for the month of April.
Eighty-four arrests are shown.
The docket shows a smaller num-
Der of DRINKS brought before Judge
Yates than before Judge Huron in the
same length of time. The size of va
rious fines shows that the famous To-
peka standard is getting little atten-
ton from the new head of the police
court. No boys have been brought in
for riding bicycles on sidewalks or
smoking cigarettes. This does not
mean that similar petty violations will
be permitted.
Another radical change made by
Mayor House and Chief Parsons is the
discontinuance of the offices of police
women. Mayor House has expressed
himself as being against the title and
sentiment given out by the name and
duties of such positions.
Although no statement as to just
what will be done with Miss Corning
and Mrs. Arthur, has been made by
either the mayor or chief of police
following the adjustment of the Of
flee, it is understood that Mrs. Arthur
has been asked for her resignation.
Again, police gossip has it that Miss
Corning will be retained, not as a po-
lice woman, but as a welfare worker
and assistant to Mrs. McGrath, ma
tron.
In addition to the aforementioned
changes, several minor changes in af-
fairs toward efficiency of the force,
have been made. More men are being
kept at the station. Calls for plain
clothes men and policemen from va
rious parts of the city are receiving
more attention.

RIVER AND HARBOR
 IMPROVEMENTS FOR
 NATIONAL DEFENSE

Savannah, Ga. November 1O--The need of river and harbor Improvements as part of the plan for increased na- tional defense was urged here late to- day by President J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia, in his annual address be- fore some 600 delegates attending the opening session of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways association convention.
 "The phase of the inland waterways. question, now uppermost in our thoughts" said MT. Moore, lis that of preparedness-prepa of coast defenses-and yet there are those who would economize in river and harbor construction at this time. where the enemy would be most likely to strike For where could there be more plunder to be had than along the Atlantic sea board?
 We are not yet invulnerable, nor vet immune. If the navy is increased the channels along the coast which are as serviceable to the navy as they are to commerce. must be kept in order Cer- tainly this is not the time for foolish economy.
 Tonight the delegates attended for nal reception at the convention hall Two sessions will be held tomorrow, in- cluding an inspection of naval vessels in. the harbor, Secretary Daniels is expected to arrive tomorrow and will adress the delegates. Secretary Red- field is in attendance at the convention and will make an address. The con-. yention will adjourn Friday.

However. you couldn't make any florist admit this because, don't you see, they look on their flowers like lot of children their very own children-and when they see much perfection in their offspring, they, like the proverbial fond parent, point with pride to it's beauty and strength and physical development.
