or Bresnahan to trade any of the seven players they already have uncondition- ally released to a minor league, they naturally would go to the American as- sociatton or International league. But none of the teams In these circuits has enough money to buy or pay to men like Bender, Plank, Leach, Sweeney ct al., so the major clubs are forced to give the players their outright release.
 Many more ball players will be un- conditionaIly released before May Is. If the minors just sit tight and await developments they will be able to re- ceive all the players they want for nothing. The reason is obvfous-the National league must stay within the twenty one man limit and to avoid rule infractions will be forced to un- conditionaIly release, many of it's men. provided the Class A clubs don't come forward with bids McGraw, for instance, has upward of twenty five players to fire. His dealings in the past have been largely with the Internation- al league, especially Montreal.

I. L. on the Rocks.

The International league is financial 1y busted" and McGraw's market place is closed. He can't keep the players because of a league rule. He can't sell them because there are no takers. So what can the poor man do?
 Schuyler Britton, at Huggins' re- quest, last year paid $2,7oo. the waiver price, for Joe Riggert. If he gets $500 for Rfggert he should jump at the chance, That shows a net loss of $2,2o0 besides the games Joe already has kicked into the '3 :" column
 And it is just this state of affairs which makes the baseball war expen- sive. The majors cannot get a player without paying a steep price for him, while they cannot sell one for Confed- crate money. But, at that, there will be more ball players out of work this summer than ever in the history of the game. Eventually the war will hurt the worlkingman. if a player can be called such.

HIDING A MURDERER,

Several instances are being disclosed low where acquaintances of Brick Huenter, who knew him under that larne and before he was indicted for wife murder. are being found who rec pgnized and knew him since his re- urn to thes country under the name If Holt. That the secret was kept is excused aby them on the ground that le was apparently living an upright fife and making good.
 Had Muenter continued in the eourse which he had started under his lew name such action might have Deen Justified, but it is a serious ques- ion as to just how far such action bontrfbutes to the safety of the rest # humanity. In this instance it lroves conclusively that it was most dangerous policy. They apparently lelisved that there was a service which they owed to their former Eiend. but it is shown that they also lad a duty which should have been endered to the public. Theyegave to 6uenter a chance which he did not appreciate. He took aadvantage of the onfidence that was reposed in him by hem even as he had done in the case f both his marriages. That uncon- reliable mania which had been sleep- ng came to life again and when it Tas aroused the self restraint which

THE NEW HAVEN SUIT.

While there may be reasons for feel ing that those who are responsible for the vanishing of the funds of a large corporation into thin air or the un- wise expenditure of large sums for the building up of a monopoly makes the directors of such concern answer able to the stockholders, it cannot but be realized that the decision of the Massachusetts supreme court in dismissing the suit for $102,000,000 brought against certain of the direc- tors of the New Haven road was based upon sound reason and good law.
 That there would have been nothing said by the same petitioners had such action, or lack of action, on the part of the directors continued to have produced dividends is plainly evident. The trouble arose over the fact that tEe judgment of the directors or those who controlled the steps which were taken failed and to have forced them to have made up the loss would have imposed a hardship which was not warranted, especially since it was a policy which represented the desire of the majority which in such cases is supposed to govern. The losses fell upon those sued in like manner as it did to the minority stockholders It was case where their judgment went wrong.
 The New Haven case, however, is going to stand for a long time as an instance which will cause every di- rector of that and other corporations to place greater responsibility upon his duty in holding such a position of importance

sUMMERINe THE LIvINe.RooM.

Don't worry about the shabby liv- ing-room this summer. It isn't nec- essary to get new furnitunre if you | can't afford it. Simply make cretonne slip covers and put them on the chairs and sofa or couch.
 Cretonne hangings may be hung at the doors to carry out the decorative scheme. Put away the old and heavy
 carpets and stain the floor, even
 though the boards are not of the SmootheSt.
 Woven or plaited rag rugs are love ly for living-rooms, and will go well with the cretonne slip covers. Keep a few green plants about especially
 ferns, to give an impression of cool
 ness. and also a bird cage or two and
 crystal bowl containing goldfish.
 Have the bird cages of generous size,
 for remember that both bowl and
 cages contain little imprisoned bodies that need as much exercise for their
 happiness as it is possible to give them.
 dows in summer, but stiff linen shades of dark green for the upper portion
 and very thin net glass curtains give a
 more successful impression of coolness,
 the net glass curtains swaying de- lightly with each breeze and the green
 shades modifying the brilliant light of the summer sun
 Venetian blinds have a very cool
 appearance when in green, and are
 more artistic than the linen shade, though more difficult to keep clean. In your jealous endeavor to beau tify your summer home you need not
 stop indoors. Did you see that ham
 mock seat which has been all dressed up in gay-fiowered cretonne? Can
 you imagine how charming it would
 make any porch?
 And it is very simple to do. The
 same slip-cover principle holds here,
 but the various. pieces are not scanned together so carefully. The back and
 sides are just hemmed at the join ings and tackled together at the top.
 This saves the wear and tear of the
 chair on the material.

 be separate from it's box-pleated f1ounce. The pillows should be plain when figured stuff is used for the slip

What One Man. Anger Did.

The story of a British sub-lieuten- ant who was so angered at the loss or a pair of fine f1eld-glasses that he charged trench of Germans single handed and thereby earned the Victoria Cross. was told at London University in a lecture by Professor J. H. Morgan,
 This sub-Heutenant," said Profess sor Morgan. possessed pair of bin oculars of which he was very proud. and he used to bore everybody by talking about them and exhibiting them. One day our men were driven back from their first trenches by a German attack, in which we lost heav- fly. They retired into the support trenches, and the men were being mustered, when suddenly the young officer exclaimed Great Scotti and started at a ga1lop back toward the trench occupied by the Germans.
 He was given up for lost, but a sergeant who was very fond of him ran after him. After an interval the sergeant came back alone, and re- ported to the company commander, Sir, he has captured the trench
 The commander collected some supports and went up. When he got around the corner of the traverse, he found the young officer with a revol- ver in each hand. facing a row of Germans who were holding up their hands, having laid down their rifles. This Is a very fine thing said the commander to the youngster. you will | get the Victoria Cross for this; but ii

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Brutality Under the euise of Law.

BTuhalikl OnoeT rne GutSe or Law.
 MT. Editor: Somewhat more than two and a half centuries ago an an- cestor of mine named Thomas Tracy had considerable to do with the found- ing Of settlement here. That may partly account for the feelings that burned within me this (Saturday) af- ternoon when I saw the manner in which a certain law was put into effect in a case of a drowned child.
 1 saw the women running from Thames street tenements toward the waters edge; 1 leaned over the bridge to see the rescue of one who had vainly jumped in to save the boy. and then the two men in the boat began dragging for the body, which was soon brought up.
 Now that little form was perhaps as dead as any rat. but there were two hundred people of mongrel tongue, who, like me, were mad to see him treated like one. The 5 year old boy had been away from his mothers side a few minutes, or perhaps more min utes. but his mother could not have the poor solace of lifting him dry, or straining the nasty water of that pier from his lungs, or working one minute to get a ray of hope. The law would not permit. Friend and neighbor stood fuming and swearing on the shore, while a servant of this city dragged the boy hundred yards or more by the arm, trailing head under, behind the boat, and then at the landing tied rope around neck or limb. and let the body dangle like a dead fish till the coroner might come along.
 I'm the father of 13 children" said a foreigner close to me, "and if that child was one of them, no policeman in this town would keep me from talk ing him out of the water-or one of us would be dead!" "A disgrace to the town and the country!" said another. NO name black enough!" Worse than the atrocities of the wari"-and so the chafing crowd fumed on.
 Really, nowi What would some of our rich women do if their drowned Thames or the Yantic on the end of a rope while the coroner was sent for? This little fellow may have been of lowly birth, but I wish he might have been handled like a legitimate victim of misfortune. and not like a dead or dying flshl And they tell me that this Is a provision of the law, that year old boys who have been out of their mothers arms just long enough to be drowned shall be tied to police boats and trailed up river in the sight of mourning friends and parents. If l should tell this in church as an in- stance of blunted humanity in the land of the Turk or the Hindu, people would shiver with horror and say: What a dreadful religion!"
 I call upon the citizens of Norwich to show the servants of the law some way to honor human feelings, or else get better law.
