M'CUTCHEON MARRIES;
HONEYMOON TO BE SPENT
ON TREASURE ISLAND

Chicago, Jan. 22.-John T. Nc
Cutcheon. cartoonist. war correspon-
dent and soldier of fortune. who was
married here today to Miss Evelyn
Shaw, has always had hankering to
live in the haunts OF pirates and
buried gold. That left him a choice
between New York city and Treasure
Island. He took the island.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs
Mcutcheon started on their trip to the
land he has dreamed of ever since he
sailed his boyhood brig under the
skull and crossbones over the hills
and dales of Indiana.
McCutcheon recently bought Salt
Cay. the island of the Bahama group
perhaps better known as Treasure
Island" This romantic little splotch
of land stands up from the sea five
miles from Nassau, New Providence,
and is in the midst OF British terri
tori.

'L0NG.ARMED
BATTERS MAKE
LONGEST HITS
Laws Of Physics Work Out in
Baseball Just as They Do
in the Laboratory
LONG DRIVES RESULT
FROM GREAT LEVERAGE

The hardest hitters in baseball-the
fellows who connect with the old pill
and drive it the farthest-the real
fence busters, prove that the laws Of
physics work out in baseball just as
they do in a scientific laboratory.
These sluggers, almost to unit. are
tall men with long arms and most Of
them use long bats.
And the long hits result from the
great leverage they get which cannot
be attained by the player with short
arms or the player who "chokes" up
on his bat and pokes the ball
The longest hitter is not necessar-
lily the. leading batter. and at the pres
ent time it is remarkable that the
most powerful hitters in the two big
leagues are not even in the 300 class.
Walter Pipp was generally credited
the heaviest hitter in the American
league last year. He batted only 1852:
but he led the league in home runs and
made many triples and doubles. All
of his Drives were long and crashed
to the outfield with remarkable speed
, and force. .r
There may be many fans who ques-
i ton Pipp's right to be considered the
heaviest swatter in the league put
the question up to Billy Evans, great
judge of batting, who tod me he con-
sidered Pipp superior to either Sam
Crawford or Joe Jackson on long
drives. .,.,,.
Pipp is a tall, long.arlned man. He
| uses 42.inch bat, the longest per
mitted by baseball rules, and when he
meets the ball with free swing there
is tremendous leverage. behind the
sphere.
Crawford and Jackson are both long
armed. Both meet the ball with free
swings and get the advantage Of lev
erage. (.
In the National league the hardest
hitter perhaps is Fred Luderus of the
Philadelphia club, a .2S9 batter last
year, whose great reach, aided by the
length of his war club, gives him ire
mendous hitting power.

much lighter bat, and CIV Williams OF

the usual sOrdid motive Of personal

that Marevelli was especially detest-
ed by these especial members of the
league on account Of some political
differences reaching back to his for
mer career in Italy.
Always on guard against these
malevolent plotters, generally view
ing them with contempt instead of
fear, was it possible Mareveli sus-
pected me as a possible spy in their
interest? Further, was it probable
that he had impaired these suspi-
ciOns to his wife, who in turn had
communicated them to Naomi?

to fan into flame of rancOur and
vengeance. To make a long story
short, l pretended blindly to accord

accompliees, to whom he later in

What he wanted of me was a prac-
teal use of the intimate knowledge

There were certain papers in the

too late to do that now. One Of the

INDIAN woRKMEN ON THE YUMA PROJECT
(By C. F. Harvey, U S. R. S., Yuma Ariz.)

The "back to the blanket" idea is not borne out in everyday experience with Indians as laborers on the Yuma Project and their duties have by no means been confined to common la- Dor in gangs, but have often required skill and responsibility. The Yuma h. dian Reservation on the California side of the Colorado river is under the government canal system, and since the beginning of this project num- bers of the Yumas have been near at hand and have been worked to good advantage. There are also a good many Cocopah Indians living in the Yuma Valley who have from time to time been on the pay roll. This class of employe has not been kept on any one branch of service, and it is found that the Indians are very pliable in adapting themselves to great variety of work.
 At the present time two Indians liv- ing in section houses on the Yuma Valley railroad at isolated points some 7 and II miles below the town of Yu- ma are in responsible charge of patrol ling the track and doing general main tenance work. These men not only keep the trackway and grade neat and clear of brush, but they observe and make needed repairs on the spot and without special orders when rails, bolts, or frogs are not in good working order. Their observation of these things and painstaking methods have undoubtedly avoided accidents in the operation of the rock trains and pas- senger car.
 In the building of structures some of the Yumas have developed remark able skill as concrete finishers. They have handled finishing and pointing, which always requires knack and the incest judgment, and the structures leaving their hands compare very well with the best.
 AS to the mechanical line, there is now Yuma Indian working as oiler on one of the caterpiller tractors used

FAILURE OF THE SIXTY-FOURTH CONGRESS TO

different to the fact that great rail- road lines are awaiting the passage of legislation that would make 1t -pos- sible to use electricity as a motive power and thereby increase the eff ciency and comfort of the service while decreasing it's cost and incl dentally preventing the present enor- nous consumption of exhaustible fuel
 It has made no difference to us that great industries which we need and demand in this worldwide crisis must seek other countries, because we would not enact honest and practical water-power legislation. We scramble and tumble over each other in our zeal to enact legislation in the far
 mers' interest, yet in our wisdom we have thought it better to have our farmers either produce half crop or else pay tribute to the great nitrogen combine of Chile than to allow our water powers to be developed and
 thereby create home production of nitrogen for fertilizer purposes. Truly 1t will be surprising if some of the water-power obstructionists on the floor of this house do not have their namer engraved upon a monument erected by the grateful people of the republic of Chile in recognition of their zeal in lowing tribute on the
