GOVERNMENT is TO SEND
OUT "SAFETY FIRST" TRAIN
Plan to Educate Public on Con-
servation of Life and
Property.

To give the people all over the coun-
try an opportunity to see what the
government is doing to conserve life
and property, a safety first train will
be sent out. leaving this city May /. 1t
was learned at the Interior Department
today.
According to the present tentative
plans. the train is to be sent over all
of the lines of the Baltimore and Ohio
including it's branch lines and then ef-
forts will be made to have other rail-
roads of the country take it up.
The idea of such train is the out
come of the recent safety first exhibit
given at the New National Museum un-
der the auspices of the government. In
the main. the exhibits to be placed on
the train will be those recently shown
at the museum. Many of them are
ready now in storage in the govern
ment departments. and it is only a
question of sending them to the
safety first train and setting them
up.
Secretary Lane is communicat ting
with the heads of other departments
and bureaus of the government with a
view to getting their cooperation in
planning the exhibit.

FAvORS SCOUT MOVEMENT.
Baker Makes Clear His
Position in Statement.

In order to correct a published report
that he is opposed to the Boy Scout
movement, Secretary Baker has ex
planned his position as follows:
The statement that l am opposed to
the Boy Scout movement is perhaps
due to a misunderstanding. There are
two Boy Scout organizations One of
them is a general scout movement and
the other is known as the Boy Scouts
of America.
The latter organization I was asked
some time ago to join as member of
the board Of governors and l was sent
a letter which stated the object of this
society was to make of America a mill
tary nation. l replied to that letter
stating that L was not in sympathy
with a movement to make this country
a military nation.
Il think the Boy Scout movement is
one of the finest ever starred | am very

age when he can become a scout. It's
general activities are fine, teaching as
they do, manliness, courage, truthful
ness. knowledge of woodcraft and ma
ture.

= President Wilson told A delegation Of
Scandinavians today that nothing was

sured by leaders of the delegation that
his efforts in behalf of peace have been
strongly approved throughout the
country. In reply the President said:
This is particularly courteous and
gracious thing for you to do-to come
to see me and bring me this cheering
message of approval and support. I
can assure YOU that nothing is nearer
my heart than keeping this country
out of war and doing anything that the
United States can do to show it's
preference for peace and for Justice.
and for the things that make it i'm
possible that nations should fight one
another real understandings and
friendships and fair dealings.
Cheered by Encouragement
you may rest assured that it cheers
me very much that you should come
and utter this word of encoura cement"

ably will come to d vote tomor-

expressed it today:
THE Holman rule would per-

Members Hearing From Home.
a point of order already has been
made against the rider by Representa-
tive Mondell. who was responsible for
stabbing the original rider with a
sharply pointed parliamentary weapon
Saturday. However ridiculous may be
the proposal suddenly to reduce the
governments forces by one-tenth and
add one-seventh to the labors of those
remaining. il is possible that it will re-
main in the bill until vote can be
asked for. On this point too it may be
welcome news to learn that many con-
gressmen hearing from home. it
was said today. and they find that they
can cast vote against the Borland
injustice with considerable applause
from their own home folks.
One thing which the agitation on the
Borland rider has done is to put the
appropriation committee on its guard
against further similar impositions
The committee now is in the position
of having brought in a bill with an
important legislative provision only to
have the House expose the fact that it
was thrown into the bill at the last
minute without previous thought or
scientific study. Representative Austin
of Tennessee brought that fact to light
very clearly.

Members of the appropriations COM
mittee have recalled the fact that the
Borland street paving rider was tackled

Base Hits from the
 Tri-Copper League
By BOB GIBSON

Today will see the MillerS and Min CTS in the first game of the new series.
 The batteries will most likely be Delhi and Tonneman for the Mines and Reiger and Carisch for the Millers. Both Delhi and Reiger are going at great clip right now and the game should be real pitchers battle.
 The Millers will start the season with a crippled outfield, as Rose, their reg ular left fielder, will not be eligible to play until the 30th of July.
 Pierce was the only man to hit Lush safe in Wednesdays game, getting three clean blows.
 Lush pitched one of the best games of the season and should, with any kind of support, have scored a shut out.
 Infielder Schwind has joined the Mill lers and looks to be a first-e class ball player.
 The Millers' outfield got six of the eight hits that Hughes allowed Sunday and they also made three of the four errors chalked up by their club. Each outfielder had an error.
 Johnny Galena at third and Speed Mcdonald at first played some fine bail
 Speed looks the part of a regular first sacker lHt hlltlS nave duutu 1Ollleg, WHO plays both first base and the outfield, to their club. Carlson caught a great game for the Mill Sunday and threw out every run ner that tried 10 steal on him. Harper, a former Miller outfielder , is hitting the ball hard for Spokane, of the Northwestern league. Beaumiller, the Miners field leader, is showing real ability as leader and is playing first-cla ball at the same time.
 Flame" Delhi, after about three weeks lay-off. should show some first class pitching from now on. The Flame was used as an out fielder when the Miners were short of men and played the position in good , style.
 In Mitchell and Demaggio the Miners have two outfielders that can cover ground in the outfield and hit hard and timely.
 1 Garritty, the former Miner short- stop, has not had a chance to show what he can do with the Los Angeles club as Butler, the regular short l fielder, is going at a great clip and ! there is no chance for the Rabbit right
