KEEPS AWAY FROM UMPIRES
Hughie Jennings Accepts Rulings of
Arbiters Without Question
Kicking Doesn't Pay.

Hughie Jennings spends much of
his time on the coaching lines, but
he makes it a point not to get into
trouble with the umpires. In re-
cent game an umpire made two very
close decisions, which would have
been disputed by some of the more
hot-headed spirits of the game. But
in each instance Jennings accepted
the rulings without q word. Jennings
demands the saEie conduct from his
players and recently called one of
them to order for kicking when an
umpire gave close decision. Hnghie
has long come to the conclusion that
kicking doesn't pay.

BALL PLAYERS TURNED DOWN
Many Athletes In Various Branches of
Sport Have Been Rejected as
Physically Unfit.

Since the exemption boards through
out the country settled down to work
In earnest. it has developed that many
athletes in various branches of sport
have been turned down as unfit for
military service. Earl Craddock, the
wrestler, for instance, was declared
physically unfit, as were Tommy Glib
bons, Heinie Groh and many others.
The percentage of ball players who
have failed to stack up to require
ments is large. Flat feet have been
found very common among the pas
timers. and deformed hands, due to
"busted'' fingers. have been the cause
Of excusing n good many players
who were otherwise In superb physi-
cal condition.
: The low, half-shoes worn by a ma
jority Of ball players are responsible
for fiat wheels; tin ears have kept a
number of fighters out Of the army,
and the "athletic heart" with which
a good many athletes are afflicted,
has robbed Uncle Samuel of men.

UMPIRE's ADVICE WAS GOOD
Howard Ehmke, Detroit Pitcher, De-
veloped Rapidly After Being
Warned Against Emery.

Bill Brennan, the former Federal
league umpire, believes that he may
have had something to do with the sue
cess of Howard Ehmke, the brilliant
pitching recruit of the Detroit Ameri-
cans.
When Ehmke was In the Federal
league, Brennan caught him expert

Bessemer, Mich, July 31.-Al-
though meetings of Industrial Work
ers of the World locals were to be
held throughout the Gogebic iron
range today for the purpose of push
ing the attempt to tie up the iron in
dustry in Michigan, authorities and
mine officials were of the opinion that
there would be no imm ediate recur-
renee of last nights disorders. The
promptness with which police and
deputies broke up a meeting of the
Industrial Workers at Ironwood and
the action of the state constabulary
force in twice dispensing a procession
headed for the Anvil mine near here.
it Is believed, will have a salutary af-
feet.
The Industrial Workers organiza-
ton is we'll supplied with money, and
that it is being literally supplied from
outside sources is the statement made
by several persons who claim to have
authoritative information. This state
ment' will be thoroughly investigated

CONFEREES STILL AT ODDS:
WAR TAX BILL is CHANGED
POLICE MOBBED FOR
BANNING BATHING
Attempts to Enforce Chicago Ends in
Victory for Those Seeking
Cooling Waters.

Chicago, July 31.-Attempts of the
police to drive bathers from Oak
street beach, which is situated along
fashionable Lake Shore drive, caused
a riot last night in which several
thousand people participated.
A city, ordinance forbids bathers to
use the beach except between the
hours of 4 a. m. and a. M, but the
excessive heat drove many into the
lake in defiance Of the law.
A patrol wagon load of policemen
advanced to the waters edge and
commanded the bathers to come
ashore. They simply laughed at the
officers. Then one policeman re-
moved his coat and waded out. He
managed to seize one Of the bathers
and drag him ashore.
This was the signal for a riot The
spectators closed in on the police, bat
tering several of them. and howled
threats against them and the resi-
dents of ''the drfve.''
Eight persons were arrested, in
Guiding three girls, who were taken
to the station in their bathing suits.
Reinforcements arrived, but the
bathers won the day and remained In
the water until late at night.

Waterbury, July 31.-The first
arrest in Waterbury if not in the
state, of an enemy alien for not be-
ing able to show an enemy alien per-
NIT was made early today. William
Remmer, 80, a mason by trade was
taken into custody by the local police
at the request of a secret service
agent who was in this city yesterday
looking for the man.
Remmer lives within a stones
throw Of the state armory. He claims
that he applied for a permit at the
proper time and through the proper
channels but says he has never re-
ceived one. Federal authorities at
Hartford have been notified of his
claim and they will undoubtedly in
vestigate it.
Trofyn Kozoil, a Russian who
failed to register on June 5, went to

WOULD DRAFT PHYSICIANS
Present Conscription Method For
Those eBtween 21 and 45.

New York, July 31.-A petition was
being circulated here today in hospi-
tails and among doctors asking that
congress provide for a selectiVe draft
of American doctors for military SER
vice. The petition asks also the ex-
emption of bona f1de physicians from
the present draft law
The proposed draft would take
physicians and surgeons between the
ages of 21 and As and would be car
ried out in a manner similar to the
draft of the army. According to the
heads of several hospitals here, the
petition was sent from the Council of
National Defense at washington,
which is supporting the plan.
The petition declared that the meth
cd of recruiting the medical corps Of
the army by commissioning reserve
officers in that service who volunteer
has proved a failure and asks that in
behalf of the welfare Of the nation a
draft be made.

Tour-Iansing Praised
London, July 31.-The address of
Secretary of State Lansing at Madi-
son Barracks, Sackett Harbor, N. Y,
Sunday, is commented upon appre
ciatively by some morning papers as
again showing the clear vision with
which the American government re-
CARDS the main issue and conveying
unanimously words of doom to the
enemy.
The Times, .regretting the full truth

masses of Americans, their imagina-
ton yet unfired despite the word of
reason in President Wilson's and Sec
retary Lansing's expositions, refer to
the popular confidence in the presi
dent and indirectly appeals to him to
go on the stump for the purpose Of
awakening the people.
TT is not from the written but
from the spoken word of the presi-
dent that the significance of this great
conflict to them and their children

can hearts. He, and he alone. COM

CORPORATION TAX
NOW AT 6 PER CENT.
Senate Finance Committee Also De-.
cides to Recommend Increase in
Surtax on Incomes of $4,000 Or
sessed Another Dollar Per Gallon.
and Beer so Cents Barrel

Washington, July 31.-The con-
ferees on the food bill failed at their
first session today to break their dead
lock on the congressional war ex-
penditures committee opposed by
President Wilson and recessed until
later today with a motion to strike out
the provision still pending.
Some Of the conferees said 1t ap-
peared very certain that the senate
members would yield on the provision
and reach a complete agreement on
the bill for a report to the house to-
morrow.
The conferees today struck out a
provision authorizing the government
to commander gas pipe lines for
military or public defense purposes.
The clause empowering the president
to commander oil pipe lines. however,
was retained.
The new provision for a wheat
price fixing board of three members,
inserted subject to Reconsideration,
was left unchanged,
Increase Of the pending $I,670, 0,O00,-
900 war tax bill to a total of $2,008,-
900, 900 was, decided upon today by the
senate finance committee. Increases
on corporations, normal income tax
on incomes Of individuals of $4,000
and over, and a further increase of 81
per gallon on distilled spirits and so
cents barrel more on beer, with a
few minor tax increases, will make up
the additional levy.
The committee decided to increase
the present per cent. normal rate on;
corporate incomes to 6 per cent. as
against per- cent in the bill as origin
ally drawn. 1t is expected to yield
$162, 900, 900 additional revenues.
The increase in surtax on individual,
incomes of $4,000 and more was es-
timated to raise from 100000 to-
$36, 100000 additional. New excess,
profits taxes will be agreed upon later.
In revising the liquor schedules, the,
committee estimated that by adding
81 per gallon to the tax on distilled
spirits, making it $500 per gallon
s2.1O over the present law-$9O, ,0O0,-
900 more revenue would be secured
from that source. The increase Of so
cents a. barrel on beer was estimated
to yield $25,O0O,0O0 more revenue,
making the beer tax 1925 per barrel
as compared with $3.50 under existing
law and $2.75 as originally proposed in
the bill.
The senate today entered upon the.
second day Of the debate on the
Sheppard resolution for a national
prohibition amendment to the consti-
tuition with many senators ready to
speak.
The resolution will be finally dis
posed of tomorrow.

May Indicate Beginning of End For
Kaiser.

Washington, July 31.-A curious
shrinkage in the German gold re-
serve, reported from abroad today,
attracted interest here as possibly
foreshadowing a crumbling of the
German financial system which, up to
now, has borne the immense load
placed upon it.
AS yet, however, the shrinkage is
small and not In any sense fatal, but
taken in connection with the appeals
of the government to individuals to
give up gold and jewelry is consid-
cred important.
