Sporting Desire For
Sensation" Says Writer
BY Associated Press

Venice. via London. May 13.-"No
matter how deeply n may sympa-
'thize with the dead of the Lusitania,"
says an editorial in the Vienna Neue
Freie Presse, there is no ground in
international law for America to in
tervene. Shall the Germans stand by
helplessly while England monopolizes
the importation of arms and NUM-
tons of war?
why did millionaires like Wander
bilt want to travel on a ship OF death
after warning? It was a sporting de-
sire for sensation which brought dis

RAT-KILLING CLUB IN TEXAS

In the current issue or Farm and
Fireside appears the following ac-
count of a boys club in Atacosa coun-
ty. Texas, which combined good farm
ing with the primal hunting instinct
in man.:
1T is a rat-kiliing club.
"All the boys start in as high pri-
Yates. but the soldiers with a record
Lof a hundred rats becomes a corporal.
"A sergeant must have killed 200.
"a second lieutenant's commission
goes to the slayer of 500.
Probably the rats will not last till
the army secures a general, but rats
are numerous. and one never can tell.
N more seriously useful work can
be undertaken than his one of exter-
minating rats. and after the rats are
gone Mr.. K~loppenburg, the county
agent, has other labors for the army,
including the trial by court-martial of
the various birds to determine whether
or no they should be killed, the i'm
provement of the roads. and the like.
1t is to be hoped that the fly will not
be allowed to escape"

HOW MUCH LAND 1T TAKES
TO PASTURE ONE PERSON

The following is taken from the cur
rent issue of Farm and Fireside:
How much land does 10 take to
support a COW, or a horse, or a hog?
Rather important questions to every
one of us. but not so important as the
query:
How much land does it take to
support a person?
"A recent survey made by the
United States government in Ohio
seems to show hat it cost on the
average s197 to board and house each
person on the farm.
THAT is. the husband, wife and
three children must have an income
of 1885 If they live as we'll as the
average.
This is the income in dollars, and
the eXamination-on forty-four farms
Indicates that 1t takes forty acres

ARGUMENT
IN FEDERAL SUIT
George W. Miller Charges Outlaws
With Having '1Unclean Hand"
Some Salaries Increase
Special to The Telegraph

Chicago, Jan. 23.-Argument in the
Federal League Injunction suit will be
completed to-day. Judge Lands will
take the papers and expects to be
ready with a decision in a very short
time.
Charles of "unclean hands" and
hypocrisy were made against the Fed
eral League yesterday by George w.
Miller, who presented what is believed
will be the concluding argument on
the side of organized ball in the anti
trust suit brought by the Federals.
He declared a temporary injunction
asked by the Federals would destroy
an institution it had taken organized
ball forty years to build.
In support of his charges Miller cited
instances in which he said the Federal
Leaguers had signed players under
contract with clubs in organized ball i:
the sections of the Federal League
contracts he alleges, corresponded to
the criticised Today and reserve rules
and the alleged justification of raids by
the plaintiff on the ground that To-day
clauses invalidated American and Ma
tional League contracts.

Atlantic City, n. j.. Jan. 2S.-"Three
Weeks" a photoplay dramatization of
Elinor Glyn's much discussed novel,
isn't half so bad as it has been painted.
Given the stamp of official approval by
three members of the City Commis-

the film drama was seen by thousands
crowding Boardwalk theater this
afternoon and evening. There are a
few somewhat tense scenes, but moth
ing to cause serious agitation.
Director or Public Safety Bartlett,
who early in the week issued an order
forbidding the production here, with
Commissioners Thompson and Boyer
saw the films at a private perform
ance shortly after noon to-day.
When the three censors emerged
from the playhouse they found the
Boardwalk lined with people anXiously
awaiting the official judgment. Com
missioner Boyer smiled and waved his
hand and the crowd rushed the box

and best act of its kind ever shown
at the Busy Corner. Such clever girls,
such pretty girls and such an interest

scenery all combine to make the act
in itself worth several times the prices

attve from start to finish. The
comedy surprises IN this novelty come
thick and fast and keep the audiences
gasping with laughter. Excellent har-

dance duo round out the roster. THE

also there to attract lovers of that
type of entertainment.-Adv

PLANS FOR BIG FIGHT
NEAR COMPLETION
Willard and Johnson to Start
Training Early in February;
Champion Selects Mexico
Special to The Telegraph

New York Jan. 23.-Plans for the
Willard championship battle
at Juarez, Mex, on March are
rapidly being completed. The promo
ters have established permanent quar-
ters at Eel Paso, just across the inter
national boundary and mapped out a
long list of details which must be ar
ranged before the principals enter the
ring.
Willard, will do his conditioning In
the suburbs of El Paso, where the
summer home of one of the leading
citizens has been placed at his dis
posal. Located on one of the principal
boulevards of the city it will be easy
to access and with the surrounding
grounds and stables afford excellent
facilities for both indoor and outdoor
work. Johnson will prepare on the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande.
Training quarters have been secured
for him in the Juarez Opera House
and accommodations for himself and
staff of helpers in nearby cottage.
Start Training Next Month
Both pugilists are planning to ar
rive at the training camps early next
month in order that they may become
accustomed to the rarefied atmos-
phere. Both El Paso and Juarez have
an altitude of close to 1000 feet and
training conditions are vastly different
from those prevailing at lower levels
This was brought out sharply in the
JohnSon-J -JeffrieS contest in 1910. Af-
ter spending some weeks in condition
ing at close to sea level near San Fran
cisco the camps were shifted to Reno,
when the governor ordered the pugi-
lists out of California. The change to
the Nevada town at an altitude of ap-
proXimately $500 feet set back the
training for fully a week while prin-
cipals and helpers were adapting
themselves to the lighter air.
