.SHAFROTh MUDDLERS
WOULD KILL Law
Continued from page u

ploye, and offers terms of media tion
and settlement based upon accurate and
reliable information. NO ONE CAN
BE AN EFFECTIVE MEDIATOR IN
LESS HE is FIRST INFORMED. It
is worse than useless to wait until the
lockout or strike is declared before the
state is allowed to step in as a meii
atOr.
After strike and lockout, the gunner
on both sides begin to operate, violence
takes place, murders occur, property is
destroyed, hate and passion arise, the
original points of difference are lost
sight of in the desire for bitter revenge.
In our last coal strike there were some
thirty-six Investigations made by the
Legislature, committees from congress
and other mediating bodies, but all to
no avail. They all started too late.
Why should the state not be allowed
thirty days to inform itself as to the
difference between employer and en-
ploye in any acute controversy. Both
employer and employe demand that the
state protect life and property. The
general taxpayer must pay the insur-
rection bond issue in the event of an
industrial upheaval. When employer
and employe cannot settle their own
differences, when they place the obli-
CATION upon the state to maintain law
and order, they should each be square
enough to give the state a fair and
reasonable chance to settle the differ
ence before strike or lockout breaks.
After the thirty days is passed, if
the terms of mediation or settlement
offered by the state are not acceptable
to either party, that party has the
right to resort to his lockout or strike
weapon But in every industrial con-
troversy, no matter how spirited, there
is always a median line of justice, if it
can only be found.
The state. as an Independent and i'm
partial arbitcr, can find this median
line and bring the parties together if it
is only given reasonable time to invHs-
tigate and mediate. If this law is not
sound in principle, then arbitration is
not sound in principle.
Arbitration by an agency of the state
is impossible, if you deny to that agen
cy the time and opportunity for in
vestigation. An arbitratipg body to be
effective must be just, and it can only
be lust when intelligently guided by
accurate and reliable information as to
the exact points of controversy.
But there is no need to further pre-.
sent argument to prove that the indus
trial law is sound in principle. The
best proof of the soundness of this law,
is the fact that it has worked out in
practice. In Colorado we have concen-
trated some of the biggest organiza-
tions of capital and of labor of the en-
tire country. Our population is CON-
paratively sparse, our independent, bal
ancing and mediating public compare
lively weak, yet since the passage of
the industrial law, while strikes have
seriously disturbed every other indus
trial center of the entire country. Colo
RADIO has been wholly free from strikes
Intelligent adjustment and equitable
mediation have taken the place of the
old time club. Not life has been lost

Worlds greatest Cataract.

What is set down as the greatest cat
aract in the world is on the Iguazu
river, which partly separates Brazil
and Argentina. The precipice over
which the river plunges is 21O feet
high, that of Niagara being 1877 feet.
The cataract is 1923 feet wide, or
about two and half times as wide az

DR.. SHIFTS PASSES ON

Died, at Glenwood Springs, October
26th, DR.. John Smits, late of Leadville.
DR.. Smits was born in Amsterdam,
Holland, forty-nine years ago, was ed
ucated in the common schools of his
native country and by private tutors.
His further training preparatory to
university studies he received in Swift
erland, Germany and Austria, and later
he entered the Sorbourne, the celebrat-
- seat of medical science in Paris,
France. After graduation he was an
"interne cliniciSt in the st. Lazaire
Saltpetriere and St. Antoine hospitals
in Paris and post graduate student
under Pasteur, Metchinkof, Gnyon and
other medical and surgical celebrities
for twelve years. He Travelled in
Spain, Portugal and Africa and added
to his professional and general inform
alton by attending clinics in London.
Through his acquaintance with Mr..
Robert Rathbone he met the late Her
vey Lyle in Paris and accepted. in 1906,
the position of house physician at the
Hotel Colorado which brought him to
GlenwoOd Springs in April of that
year. His wide experience, his thor
ough training and high order of pro.
fessional skill made him a popular
physician and he was consulted by
many prominent persons throughout

Leadville where he quickly gained a
fine practice, but the climate proving
uncongenial he moved to lower alti.
Incorporating to make Delta his
headquarters in July, 1918. The i'll
advised attitude of badly Informed and
mischievous people caused a rumor to
be spread stamping the doctor as dis
loyal to America, and, although the
Leadville Herald-Democrat disproved
the rumor, the bad reputation followed
DR.. Smits to Delta, where the Council
of Defense, in formal hearing, pro-
claimed him loyal American.
Attending to numerous cases of in
fluenza and pneumonia in Leadville
exposing himself there and at Climax
to the inclement weather, DR.. Smits
was taken with pneumonia on the Goth

come here, where he arrived on the

Bagash Puts X. o. on
Sparring Partner

Louis Bagash, the local lightweight
who meets frankie Conifrey in the
semi-final to the Harry Greb-George
Chip bout at the Casino one week
from tonight, must be going to give
Conifrey something to think about
when the two boys meet. Yesterday
afternoon Bagash put one of his
sparring partners to sleep in two
rounds with we'll directed left to the
jaw.
. Bagash apologized for the uninten-
tional blow but the sparring partner
couldn't see where any apology would
be enough to soothe his hurts.
"Bagash is developing some punch"
piped Matchmaker Hogan this morn
ing while talking over the little
setto, land it wouldn't surprise me a
bit if he dropped Conifrey in less the
number of rounds they are scheduled
to box next Monday night Louis is
going to make a name for himself in
this part of the country If he keeps
UP his good work"
Matchmaker Hogan also stated that
the tickets for next Monday nights
show are going fast and he advises all
those who are planning to occupy one
of the choice seats to make applica-
/ ton early as the pasteboards are in
great demand.

ONE SINGLE OFF
GIANT PITCHERS

Houston, Tex, April 8-The Giants
made strong comeback in the sec
ond game of their series with the
Cleveland Americans here yesterday,
the New York National League cham
pions winning with yards to spare by
a score of to 0.
The Indians were a feeble outfit
yesterday compared with the dashing
band which humbled the Giants in
Dallas. They gathered in only one
hit, and this blow was cancelled when
Lew McCarty threw out Marty Kav-
anaugh trying to steal second base.
The Clevelanders got only three men
on base.
Jesse Barnes, the pitcher whom the
Braves are trying to recall, and Jeff
Tesreau were the Giant boxmen who
completely befuddled the Indians.
Barnes allowed only one hit in his five
innings, while in Tesreaus four in
nings he permitted no hits, but issued
two bases on balls.
The Giant offense looked much bet
ter. Long Bob Groom, the former
Washington and st. Louis pitcher, was
bumped hard in the early innings.
Long Bob, however, stuck to his tape
for the entire nine sessions and closed
strong, allowing only one hit in the
last three innings.
Gus Getz, former Newark player,
gave the Giants quite a lift around
third base in the second inning, and
New York got off to lead of two
runs. Getz muffed Zimmerman's fly,
and Heine scored on Fletchers dou-
BILE
In the second inning the Giants
rolled up four more runs and practi-
cally ended the game. Barnes walked
and scored on Young's long double. A
pass to Burns and Grooms tumble on
Zimmerman, filled the bases, Doyle's
single drove in Young, but Speaker
nailed Burns at the plate. Fletcher
then drove out a single, sending in
Zimmerman and Doyle. Fletcher
welded the big bat of the game, driv-
ing in three runs and scoring a fourth.
McGraw does not take seriously
the report that Herzog will rejoin the
Giants, and says the New York club
will put up fight to retain Doyle and
Barnes.

YANKEES LIKE
O'CONNOR'S PEP

Paddy O'Connor, who played with
the Springfield Ponies in the old days
of the Connecticut is in right with
Manager Higgins Yankees. Here
is what the latest issue of the Sport
ing Life has to say about the former
Connecticut Lacquer:
Paddy O'Connor, coach for the
Yankees, has made big hit with his
team and the Yanks have made a
big hit with Paddy. On his face
these days Paddy wears large smile
that is very helpful to the baseball
fraternity at Macon, Ga. The smile
is caused by Paddy's optimism. A
New York writer after looking him
straight in the face took out his note
book and scrubbed this down: The
muscles about Pats keen eyes and
sensitive mouth are so peculiarly con-
structed that his face wears a per-
petuaI smile. Even when he frowns
you smile back at him. He takes
baseball about as seriously as the
next one. That's why Higgins en-
gaged him as coach. He's all bust
ness says Higgins. That's why
like him."
Paddy keeps telling the bunch that
the Yankees will be 'fn'' the Ameri-
can League race. The White Sox
will get worse this year, he says, the
Athletics, St. Louis and Washington
are simply out of the running and
ED Barrow has an awful job trying
to make the Red Sox look good" That
leaves only Detroit, Cleveland and

says Detroit is just about as strong
as it was last year and he comedies
only third place to it. Cleveland
has a chance to finish second, "be-
hind the Yankees" Figure this thing
out on paper any way you want to-
says Paddy. 81 think we have just
as good a chance to land at the top
as anybody else. tell you, the New
York fans have a big surprise COM
ing. We are about the only club in
the league which hasn't been hit hard

can be no doubt that he will strength

been able to discover the slightest

ness in his shoulder. Lou will never
know he has been injured.
Some people are worrying about
our pitchers. I'm not. I've been
working with all eight, and while
they haven't shown me much they
have shown me enough to prove that
they are all in excellent condition,
and I know what they can do when
they are right. look for Caldwell TO

add to this the likeliest looking lot of

New York, April S-Col. Theodore
Roosevelt Endorsed the Lawson bill,
which would legalize Sunday baseball
in this state, yesterday, according to
a statement issued last night by Judge
Francis X McQuade, an advocate of
the bill, on his return from trip to
Oyster Bay.
Judge McQuade called on the former
President to explain the provisions of
the measure, which was recently
passed by the Senate, and will soon
come before the Assembly. At the
close of the interview, the Clonel was
quoted by Judge McQuade as saying:
"I am very much gratified to know
that my nephew, Senator Ted Robin
son, had the wisdom to vote for the
Sunday baseball bill. 1t has my hearty
approval, because it gives to the wage
Garner a right which he justly should
have"

Although he never weighed over
142 pounds, Walcott took delight in
tackling heavyweights. He knocked
out Joe Choynski in seven and de-
feated George Gardner in twenty
rounds. Jack Bonner, Dick O'Brien,
Dan Creedan and Australian Jimmy
Ryan were some of the heavy middle
weights who went down before him.
Walcott also did his best to lure Jim

into the ring with him, but none of
them cared to accept his challenges.

ARRANGE PLANS
FOR MONUMENT

New York, April 8-A monument
in the shape of Celtic cross will
mark the grave in Calvary Cemetery
of the late Martin J. Sheridan, for
mer Olympic and national champion
athlete. This was definitely decided
yesterday at a meeting of the COM
mittee in charge of the Sheridan
Memorial Fund. Among the COM
mittee members present were P. J.
Conway, president of the Irish-Amer-
lean A. c., to which Sheridan was
attached for seventeen years; Patrick
V. Kyne, and John ]. McHugh.
Initial steps toward the construc-
ton of other memorials, to perpetu-
ate the memory of the late athlete
were tentatively decided upon.
A motion to provide hospital en-
downment was made by ]. T. Ryan Of
the executive committee in charge
of the memorial fund. He was ap-
pointed chairman Of a subcommittee
to Investigate and report the cost of
such an institution and to consult
with some of the local hospitals with
the view to- determining where the
endowment would be made.
1t was brought out at the meeting
ing that Frederick w. Ruben, presi-
dent of the Metropolitan Association
of the A. A. u, has practically con-
scented to award the associations an
nual junior outdoor championship
athletic meet to the Irish-American
A. c., to be held at Celtic Park, for
the purpose of raising additional
funds for the memorial. The events
will be held Decoration Day, May 80.
A motion was also made that a sta
tue of Sheridan throwing the discus
be erected in the national stadium
which will be constructed in Wash
ington within short time.

Troy, N. Y, April 8-Through the
pruning process Coach Jack Reed
has cut down the Rensselaer, Polytech-
mic Institute baseball squad this week
from a total of So candidates to IS
men from which he hopes to select a
varsity team that will make a credita-
BILE showing in the intercollegiate
spring schedule, the first game of

gate University next Saturday.
While the engineers team will be
practically a new one, several OF the

the last week. Pitcher Arthur L. Kuh-
bert, one of the few veterans remain
ing, will be the mainstay on the mound
and certainly is showing everything
that could be expected thus early in
the season. Jack" Walsh has been
shifted behind the bat with success
and is working a lightning wing to
e check base-runners. "Dick" Shankey
looks like a clever shortstop, with the
same alertness and speed shown as a
varsity football quarterback last fall
Robertson, the three-R man and all
round athlete who has been unable
TO enter sports during the last season
. on account of a slight strain, will
start the season at second base again
and give his team mates q good boost,
! though he can play but three games,
as he will be graduated May 1. For
rest Dewey, of last years East Ro-
chester High school team, is a find in
the outfield and besides covering a lot
of ground is proving effective at the
bat.
