DISEASES SPREAD
BY CONGESTION
lON sherman

The United States army transport
Sherman is now characterized as a
pest ship since it's last voyage from
San Francisco to the Philippines. Not
only did scarlet fever, whooping
cough, measles, mumps and other di-
7seases Of a more or less serious ma
ture lay low scores in the troop decks
but the. diseases invaded the quarters
of the first class passengers and sew,
eral-, officers and their families are
now under treatment. "a.
Army officers who completed the
trip said in Manila that with accom-
modaticn for 100 troop passengers,
the Sherman left the coast with 1900
soldiers =, Complaint has now been
made to the war department that the
overcrowding of the troopship was
uncalled for, and its condition has
been condemned in no uncertain,
terms.
Hundreds of soldiers had no place
to sleep except upon the decks, where
they were packed like sheep during
the day andalay down at night, often
being thoroughly wetted down
throughout the night by high seas.
That the abortive revolution was
the cause Of the .over-erowding of the
Sherman, was the statement of an
army officer who had made the trip to
the Philippines nine, times, and VINO
declared that the voyage just ended
was the worst he had undergone, /
This officer charged that the war
department seized some 1900 troops
from the detention camp In San Fran.

antine the prescribed 80 days and that
as a result, when they boarded the
transport, many of the soldiers were
incubating scarlet fever and typhoid
germs. J.. 49,
He declared that the authorities
were SO anxious to get large num-
her of soldiers to the islands that they
selected willy-nilly the rawest kind of
recruits just of the streets and
crowded them on the sShermHH
Dissatisfied at the attitude taken
by the public health and quarantine
officials, a score of Filipinos, MEM
bers of the crew of the United States
army transport Sherman, deserted
that vessel at Manila before it steam
ed for Japan, Honolulu and San Fran
cisco. When the Sherman reached
the Philippine port the crew was
placed in quarantine at Mariyeles.
They were isolated there on account
of an outbreak of measles and mumps
during the voyage from San Francis
co. 1t is reported that they were not
permitted to see their families for II
days. ss s.

PACIFIC NAIL line
WILDE SOLD,
IS REPORT
IN OAIHhO

The fate OF seven steamships viii
be decided when the 100 stockh0ld-
.ers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany meet next May. That's all r. p.
Schwerin. general manager Of the COM
pany, would say to coast interviewers.
But he has made report to the
stockholders which is prophetic as
wen as pessimistic. And it is freely
predicted that. when the stockholders
meet they will vote, to sell out IL Is
also predicted, equally freely. that the
purchasers viii be Japanese.
Schwerin said that the new act Of
Congress, which fixes efficiency for
seamen and was inspired by, the. Sea
mems Union, left the Japanese as the
only people on earth who will be able
to make money out of navigating the
Pacific ocean e.e
In his letter to the stockholders,
SehweFin shows that today his com.
pany has only Ave American ships en-.
gagged regularly in the transpacific
trade and that these ships are com.
PEELED to meet in competition the ships
of the Togo Kisen Kaisha. which are
subsidized by the Japanese govern.
ment for $1.340, 900 a year; the Osaka
Shosen Kaisha, which has subsidy
of S605, 200 a year; the Nippon Yusen
Kaisha, which is given a subsidy of
$23S, 900 a year, and the Canadian Pa
cific Steamship Company which Is
subsidized for $21S,000 a year.
The American steamers-the Mon
golia, Manchuria, Korea, Siberia and
China not receive one dollar of
subsidy or any other kind of govern.
ment aid, according to Schwerin, and
were having bad enough time with
their competitors before the new law
was passed by Congress.
3 Its passage, he says in presenting
an array of figures, will mean the
operation of the Pacific Mail steam
ships at a loss which is destructive.
In presenting his tables. Schwerin de.
clares that II the seamen's bill be-
comes effective and the "off shore
wages prevail, the wages of the men
employed on the seven ships Of the
line will increase from $345.534.24 to
$766, 434.
do you think the stockholders will
vote to sell out?" Schwerin was
asked.
I'm not thinking anything about
it." he answered, Il have never at
tended stockholders meeting in my
life, but look at these figures and
see what you would do If you were
engaged in the business of trying to
make money. =

COBB NOT EAGER
 TO BEAT MAISEL Georgian Doesn't Care About Start ing Competition for Base Stealing.

Through several seasons boss sack snatcher of the American circuit, and, seemingly, still as fast as he ever was, Tyrus Raymond Cobb refuses to be- come excited over, or even interested in, an apparent attempt by some of the baseball scribes to start >contro- versy and competition between the Georgian, Clyde Milan and Fritz Mai sell
 The latter was the 1914 champion cushion copper, Milan holds the lea que record, eighty-eight thefts, ac- complished in 1912, and Cobb was the champion until Milan nosed him out, the Detroiters mark being eighty three, secured in 1911.
 Maisel himself started the talk by announcing his intention of going af- ter Milan's record this season, and by further stating that if he ever. hits 300 he will thieve not less than 12O sacks, thereby setting a mark that may endure for all time. At the same time he got the backing of New York writers, who insist that from first to second, or from second to third, Mai sel is a full step faster than Cobb or Milan
 Maisel and Milan are base stealers of different schools. The New Yorker claims that second is much easier than third, remarking, airly, that Its just a matt& of walking down and stopping at second base" He also claims that the only time that he tab bed his stealing percentage he shared fourteen out of sixteen cushions that he went after. Milan is a third base thiever, and believes his chances for making that sack are as good as for going safely from first to second. He does not steal it as often, of course, because he isn't on second as often as on first, and also because he is on second frequently when the situation is much that an attempt to steal third would call forth managerial repri- mand, if not a fine.
 There is some interest in Maiseps statement that he will steal 129 bags if he ever hits 300. Last year he hit only .239, but he had 76 bases on balls, which must be figured in com putting his chances to steal. Cobb, in his S8 steals year, hit APO. Milan Ian, when he set the record at eighty eight was in the 300 list On this dope it would seem that Maisel has a chance to pass the century mark, ii he ever doe bat in the select circle.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED RUoYANT.
After Several Hours of Hesitation and
 Uncertainty.

New York, April 20.-The stock market today reversed it's course of the preceding session by closing with an almost bouyant tone after several hours of hesitation and uncertainty. Early restraints were found in the Rock Island receivership and further analysis of Chairman Cary's remarks to the United States Steel shareholde- rs, but these considerations were set aside in the final hour when a flood of fresh buying orders lifted the en- tire list, some important shares mak- ing new records for the movement.
 Although opening quotations show ed preponderance of gains the mar ket denoted irregularity, this condi- tion becoming more acute as Rock 1s- land shares and bonds began their pre- cipitate decline. The stock had fallen 13 points by midday, with severe loss es in the underlying securities, while the balance of the list reflected gen. eral heaviness.
 The late rise began with a nome ment in New Haven, that stock lead ing the railway list Later it spread specialties of the class recently neglected, including Bethlehem Steel, which rose Il points. It reached it's best when the coppers began to show activity, their rise being coincident with another anvance in the price of metal the fourth in less than a week S time.
 Over three-fourths of a days trad ing, which aggregated 1,250,000 shares. was transacted in the first and last hours, the intermediate period show ing inactivity. New Haven's rise of seven points was accompanied by a gain. of 1-2 in New York, Ontario & Western which it controls. Rumors of an advantageous sale of the latter property were again current, but met with prompt denial.
 An unusual development in the for eign situation was the heavy buying of future" bills on London. These are to mature next summer and au- tumn and the assumption prevailed in well informed quarters that the contracts presage expectations of peace by that period Incidentally rates for exchange on Berlin and Vi- enna were frmer.
 Reduction of the dividend on the common stock of the May department stores recalled attention to the state of retail trade, but are otherwise with out effect.
 Bonds were irregular, chiefly be- cause of the losses in Rock Island is- sues. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated $6,250, 900.
 U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.

VALE LOOKS GOOD
 FOR EASTERN CHAMPIONSHIP. College Mines Will Start on Their 1915
 Schedules This Week.

This week will find the college baseball teams of the country taking up their 1914 schedules in earnest, and from now until the championship games are finished in June the varsity and freshman hines will have a busy time of it. Most of the colleges have already played at least one game; but 1t is still far too early to get a very definite line on how the championship games are going to come out.
 Just now Yale appears to have the best prospects of getting the cham pionship of the east. The Ellis have a very strong aggregation, and the only position that does not appear to be well supplied with varsity mate rial is the picher's box. This is the most important position on the nine and much of the teams success wll depend on how Coach Quinby is able to strengthen that department. In Way he has a fine pitcher, but there does not appear to be any strong sub stitutes.
 Cornell has not opened her sched- ule very successfully, but Coach Sharpe may be depended upon to de- velop a strong team before the end of the season. Princeton has been meeting with fair success and the Orange and Black will make strong try for leading place.
 Brown and Dartmouth have just started their seasons and both prom ise to be up to their usual high stand

The Academy ball team had a swat fest and picnic on bases in a one-stded game with Killingly High on the campus Tuesday afternoon-score, 14 to 1. The visitors were without pep and mussed up things at times in a bad way. They were unable to score until the eighth. when they punched two hits off Purvis and succeeded in crossing the plate. Brickley started on the mound for N. F. A. and held the Killingly boys scoreless until the seventh, when he gave way to Purvis. In the seven innings Brick" held the upstate boys to one scratch hit and famed five. Purvis, a recruit pitcher with 8 roundhouse outcurve, seemed to puzzle the opposing batsmen, and he held them to two consecutive hits, gathered in the eighth, which netted Killingly's only tally.
 On the bases the home team showed good speed and stole six bases. Charlie Grove took the batting honors of the day in smashing out two safeties in three times at bat. In the first in ming Captain Young made a great catch in running out to short right, catching a fly and doubling up on first.
 Norton, pitching for Killingly, had the stuff on the ball, but put 'em over too nice, and with his loose and sieve like team was unable to do much
 This afternoon on the campus the second team will play the Norwich Commercial team in the first game of their series.

CHALMERS SIGNS TWO YEAR
 CONTRACT WITH PHILLIEs
Took Training Trip With Giants This Sprins-FormerIy Played With the PhiIIies.

New York, April 20.-George Chal- mers today signed a new contract with the Philadelphia National league club, after receiving his unconditional re- lease last winter from that club, of which he had been a member for four years.
 Chalmers took the training trip with the New York Nationals this spring and from his pitching in the training camp he believes he has recovered his efficiency. Manager McGraw was un- able to sign Chalmers because of the 21-player limit and permitted him to return to the Phillies. In 1911 Chal- mers broke into the National league with Alexander and the pair nearly pitched Philadelphia into a pennaHt, injuries ultimately putting the club out of the race. Since then Chalmers has only shown flashes of his former ability

Pennsylvania expects a strong team, although it does not give indications of being as strong as usual in the pitchers department. Amherst and Williams have not done over well on their southern trip; but as they had only little outdoor work before go- ing south, it is hardly fair to judge them by the work done to date.
