ARMOUR A BASE
 BALL MAGNATE

Jonathan Ogden Armour, the dis tinguished Chicago packer, plutocrat and baseball magnate, will celebrate his fifty-third birthday tomorrow, as he was born on Nov. II, 1863, in Mill waukee. MT. Armour has been a baseball fan for many years, but he has had a financial stake in the Am erican pastime only since last January, when he became partner of Charles Weeghman, the lunch counter king of the Windy City, in the ownership of the Chicago Cubs,
 Mr. Armour was very enthusiastic about the Cubs in the early training days last spring, and in an interview spoke in part as follows:
 'sThe Chicago Cub team is the greatest ball nine in existence. The Chicago Cubs have baseball down to an exact science, and it is a dream to see them play, leaving out the fi- nancial side of it. I never experience ed more genuine pleasure in an in- vestment than in my interest in this all-star club"
 The Cubs may have been a dream, but it is safe to say that there must have been times during the past sea- son when MT. Armour would have been more inclined to describe them as a nightmare. If the famous pac- ker has managed to retain his en- thusiasm about his baseball invest rnent, he must be the original Sunny Jim." His reference to the Cubs as a mine" must have sinces truck him

BIRTHDAY OF ITALY'S KING.

Victor Emmanuel III, King of Italy and supreme commander of the Italian military forces, will be the recipient Of congratulations tomorrow from the rulers and officials of all the Allied nations, the occasion being his forty seventh birthday. Vittorio Emanuele- to give his name its Italian orthogra- phy-is soldier born and bred. and in the present conflict he has exhibit ed great capacities for leadership
 Without interfering with the plans and policies of Gen. Cadorna and his stan, he has taken a prominent part Tn the military councils. In his visits to the various fronts-and he spends most of his time at places where the battles rage fiercest--he has often ex- posed himself to grave danger, and on several occasions has had narrow escapes from death or serious injury. He now wears on his breast the med al and ribbon given to all soldiers of Italy who have served a year at the front. A correspondent who recent ly called on the Italian King found him working in room furnished only with g. camp bed, small table, and two far from easy chairs. He often eats with private soldiers. This is not pose or an affection, for ever since he ascended the throne Victor Elm manuel has been noted for his dem- ocratic simplicity. For that reason he has never been popular with the upper crust" of Italian society-at least. not until the war, for now many of the old nobles who used to jeer at him are inclined to praise his valor. Before the war there was much talk of a republic in Italy. After the war this propaganda may be revived, but if it should succeed within King Vic tor Emmanuel's lifetime, he would doubtless be chosen the first presi- dent.

In whatever form it is presented, the Committee believe that it will appeal to the democracy of the people; that if will rouse them to bet ter politics, politics that will endorse penal betterment, irrespective of parties.
 Dr. Whitin cited the specific condi- tions that will be attacked in the speaking tour. to be directed by the Committee. as follows: Contract prfs- on systems; repression of prisoners: use of dark cells; chains, beatings, in the South; solitary confinement in the North; lack of industrial train- ing; lack of inspiration for reform among prisoners. Throughout the campaign an effort will, be made ito encourage a better and stronger class of men to go into the 'country's penal institutions as guards.
 'The plans of the Committee are in the most tentative form,'' said pr. Whitin. we will not make public any of the details until after con- ference with experts on tours on needs of localities. on policies, and operation. The scope will be exceed ingly inclusive The need Is great

sary to grant him the desired meeting. However, the Spanish government was more interested in preserving g agreeable relations with France than in the personal affairs of the angry nobleman. An official of the court tapped him on the shoulder, and at the briefest imaginable notice he found himself exiled to his estates in the provinces, there to reflect upon his woes at harmless leisure Our own diplomatic representatives abroad have not always been select ed with reference to fitness for such dealings as they were required to un- dertake, and from this cause have risen many amusing incidents
 On one occasion the wife of the American Minister at the Hague-it was a good many years ago-wase re- ceived in audience by the Queen Mother, then Regent, her daughter Wilhe,mina being as yet under age. She looked up at large portait of her Gracious Majesty CWilhelmina) |, and said, Your little girl, I suppose, ma 'am?"
 On receiving an affirmative reply, she remarked, Well, I must say, she's @ mighty fine child"
 It is related that, on the occasion of formal New Years reception at the Palace in St. Petersburg, the Czar addressed to each foreign am- bassador the usual polite inquiry, ask ing what was the news from home. To the German ambassador he said: "How is my good brother, the Ger man Emperor?'' To the British Am bassador he said: What is the news of my brother the King of England ?' To the American envoy he said: "I hope you have good news from home."
 Illustrate, your Majesty" replied the envoy from the United States. ''It's a boy, and he weighs twelve pounds!"

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1902-Jack Root defeated Marvin Hart in rounds at Chicago. This was the first meeting of a pair who were afterwards to-fgure in bout which was to create endless discus sion. Root, a Bohemian by birth, 5 feet 10 inches in height, and Hart, Kentuckian standing nearly 6 feet, were then middleweights, but both later outgrew that division. When Jeffries decided to retire from the ring and relinquish the heavyweight t title in 1905, Root and Hart both laid claim to the vacated honor. They were matched to fight in Reno, New, in July, 1905, and this time Hart was the victor He knocked Root out in the 18th round, and Jeffries, who was present in the capacity of referee, awarded the title to the victor. The sporting world refused to accept Hart as champion, declaring that Jeffries had no right to give away his title, and that a championship eould only be won by fighting for it. In the sub- sequent conflicts Tommy Burns prov ed to be the best of the white con- tenders, and he was generally ac- corded the rank of champion until Jack Johnson defeated him in Aus tralia.

New York, Nov. 10.-Details of the nation wide campaign for prison re- form, to be conducted by the National committee on prisons, will be discuss ed and determined at meeting of the committee to be held this afternoon, it was announced today.
 That the greatest swing around the circle ever attempted in behalf of bet ter penal institutions in this country will go through irrespective of elec- ton, was the opinion of members of the Committee,
 The object of the prison reform tour will be to get information about the national prisons before the people; then to establish local committees in each locality so as to bring about inn provement. Thomas Mott Osborne will make for the Committee the majority of speeches. : The old sys- tenn brutalized by the prison con- tract labor plan-the letting of pris- on labor to business interests who come into the prison bringing evils of exploitation, dope and politics-per- meates the prisons all over the coun- try. The Committee hopes to reach directly the cenyiet-lease system in vogue in the prisons of the South. Urgent letters have come from Ala bama asking that the state be stirred to a realization of the barbarous con- ditions existing in the Southern tur- pentine and lumber camps where leased convicts work.
 In Other States.
 Missouri has made an even louder call for help, the Committee says There they are going against a prison political reign. In California prison reform and selfegovernment has been started at the Preston School of In- dustry, by Calvin Derrick, now acting Warden of Sing Sing, through which the whole state has become interest ed and ready to actively investigate reform systems. They are awake in California now and looking for in- formation. It has been suggested to the National Committee that the na- uonal tour for reform be started right at New York's own back door, center ing the work in Connecticut, Massa- chusetts, and Rhode Island. In Mas sachusetts the Charleston prison is said to be entirely inadequate, and in Rhode Island and Connecticut the old contract system of prison labor still prevails. In Wisconsin a report

 mendations for the reorganization o1 the penal system has been made and a committee of prominent citizens al ready is at work upon it. MT. Os- borne so far has spoken in New Jer- >sey several times, and will now be al liberty to explain the details of self government system that it is planned to incorporate in the New Jersey pris- on program. Tennessee is reorganiz- ing its penal system, for which it is asking for help.
 Known inAJapan.
 Requests have been coming from all over the country for number of years for information regarding pris- on reform, showing the necessity for just such an extensive campaign as has been made possible, now that MT. Osborne is free to undertake it,' said Dr, B. Stagg Whitin, chairman of the executive committee of the National Committee on Prisons. "The interest in penal reform has spread to other countries. Dr. Harmon Brown, of Union Theological Seminary, recent ly met a group of social workers in an exconvict's home in Tokio, and was 1dumfounded to find out that they knew more of the details of the self government system at Sing Sing than he had been able to get from New York. The Tokio group had an agent over here getting all the information we had. There is interest in Europe in the development of prison better ment in this country, although few give the interest due credence, be- cause of the disorganization of war over there"
 This year is a peculiarly opportune time for beginning prison reform on so large a scale, the Committee thinks, Many states have legislative sessions this year; governors will be elected in some 30 states; party plat forms all over the country are being there will be new pris- on authorities and officers. Social jus tice has been a definite platform in more than one party At this time, too, the women of the country have been stirred, and are reaching out for political light-the prison-reform campaign will make an especial ap- peal to women. The suggestion of the formation of a National Commit tee on Prisons was made by the Gen. eral Federation of Women's Clubs several years ago; therefore, the Com mittee feels that there is a valuable center of interest in the work already established among a large body of women.

Members of the National Commit tee will be organized in localities throughout the country to cooperate with MT. Osborne on his tour. In many places the need will be for word of elementary reform principles; at others, MT. Osborne may take several

.Commercialism in baseball has got to be stopped, so many of the big league magnates will reduce salaries next year. Price of admission to the fans will remain the same.
 L. Tommy Leach, who managed Roch- ester this year, says that while two heads may be better than one, 50.- 900 heads of a ball club are notn eces- sarily an improvement over the sim gle manager system.
 This is the thirty-eighth anniver- sary of the birth of Henry Richard "Cy" Morgan, long a distinguished pitcher under the big top, and lat terly an umpire.
