CAMOUFLAGING THE JAIL.

Baton Rouge is going to adopt
fashion becoming common in
some other localities but unprc-
cedented here, by making the top
story of its new courthouse the
parish jail.
The plan has so many advant-
ages that it is surprising that it
was not adopted long ago. The
Jail must be near the courthouse,
but it cannot be located on the
courthouse grounds without being
more or less Of an eyesore. Many
beautiful tructures in Louisiana
are now marred by unsightly
buildings with barred windows
adjacent.
The tOp-story Jail can be made
perfectly sanitary, light and airy.
The danger of mob violence will
be lessened and also the chances
of Jail deliveries. Idlers will have
no opportunity Of loafing around,
talking to the prisoners through
windows and plotting mischief.
The Baton Rouge plan will at
tract much attention in Louisiana.
and will be generally followed if
it proves as successful as it seems
it should.-N. O. Item.

been Jeffs sparring partner in vari
Gus London music halls and agreed
TO meet JEFF for a fair-sized losers
purse. The Big Fellow allowed
Scales to drift along quite easily for
three rounds. In the fourth JEFF
forgot himself and fioored Scales a
few times. After the last knock
down Scales addressed the crowd as
follows: "Ees habsolutely too bally
big for me. r can ave the cham
pionship of Hinglandi" Jeffries
didn't even bother to put the bout
on his record.
Defeats Opposition.
Jack O'Brien onced cleaned up all
the meagre opposition on the other
side while Kid Mccoy long past his
prime managed to win through his
unparalleled cunning. Tommy Burns
upheld the tradition of successful
American invasion when he knocked
out Gunner Moir and won the
worlds championship in 1907. Burns
at first wasn't accorded a square deal
by the British public because they
thought the clever Canadian should
have called himself an Englishman
instead of an American. Tommy,
however, squared" himself by the
business-li like manner in which he
disposed of "the Gunner" Later he
broke bread with the nobility in
"Lunnon."
Frank Moran ran up quite a
knockout record abroad tumbling
amongst others the much lombard
ed Bombardier Wells. Gunboat
Smith was the last American heavy
to get into difficulties abroad. smith
had Georges Carpenter helpless
when he committed a foul which lost
the fight. Eugene Corri in all fair
ness awarded the bout to the
F'renchman but it was the nimble
mind of Deschamps. Carpenters
adviser which beat smith and even
outwitted CORR Carpenter had been
fioored by one Of Smiths swings and
when starting to arise was cautioned
TO drop back by Deschamps who
scented a knockout. Smith had
started another punch At the French
man and plunging over him grazed
Carpenters head with his glove
Deschamp jumped into the rims,
committing a foul in itself should
have won for Smith, and claimed a
foul for Carpenter which was al.
lowed by CORR.

been given an opportunity TO have
rolled their various events.
Entries Close Wednesday.
Just how long this viii require
can not be stated at this time, as
the entries for the big tournament
do not close until Wednesday OF this
week and all indications point to
the Interstate tournament being
larger than any state tournament
that has been pulled off. To date
there are 40 five-men teams entered
In the big classic. every one of them
but the Bucktails being from out of
the city.
The fact that there IS but a single
entry from this city shows a laxity
of interest in a very important part
OF the sport. AS an example of how
other cities handle these affairs was
demonstrated at Indianapolis dur
ing the state meeting. AS soon as
Fort Wayne was awarded the state
tournament Indianapolis immedi-
ately arranged for the entry Of "a

PACKARD PLEASES
IN final NUMBER

Alton Packard, the famous car
toonist, concluded the program of
the Redpath Chautauqua in Rich
mond for this season, with most
delightful evening Monday night.
His work with the crayon is re-
markable, of course, but he en-
tertained the big audience just
about as much with his mono
logue work and musical efforts as
with his cartoons. 1t was real
feature in every way and all
seemed to enjoy it.
Subscriptions were concluded
satisfactorily for the next years
guarantee and the delightful and
instructive Chautauqua enter
tainments are assured for anoth-
er year in Richmond. The at
tendance this year has been the
best ever known in Richmond and
all will be glad to know that the
venture has proven success
from every angle.
The Metropolitan Quartet gave
some greatly appreciated musical
numbers before Packard went on
last nights program, and we're
compelled to respond to repeated

Offer BIG PASTURE
FOR AIRPLANE USE

Mr.. and Mrs. James S. Crutcher
have offered the use of one of
their large pastures on the Four
Mile road as a landing place for
the U. S. Army airplane which it
is planned to send to Richmond
this week on a recruiting cam
|paign for this branch of the SER
vice. This kind offer will be
communicated at once to Mr..
John Farra, at Lancaster, who is
in charge of the landing grounds
there, and it is hoped that the
flier will be seen doing his stunts
over Richmond within day or so.
The fact that the aviator has
taken up civilians at several
places on short flights, has caused
much interest here and it is prob
able such an opportunity will be
offered here to some strong-nerv-
ed person. Lieut.. McCreary Sim
mons, formerly of the air service,
is interested in seeing that salts
factory arrangements are made
for his brother officer when he
comes to Richmond in his ma
chine. Announcement of any fur
ther information regarding the
coming of the flier to this section
will be made the Daily Register as
quickly as possible.

Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee for discussion of the peace
treaty are said today to have been
received in administration circles

mated they were informed by

President be asked to appear be-
fore that body or to confer as q

Should the committee decide
not to invite President Wilson to
appear before it, the President
might begin his tour of the coun-

decides whether it decides to dis

FORD TELLS HIS
IDEAS ABOUT war
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Press)
Mount Clemens, Mich, July Is
Henry Ford, the plaintiff in the
million dollar libel suit against
the Chicago Daily Tribune, re-
sumed the witness stand today.
The mysterious flag of humanity,
2 by IA feet, earthen white on a
blue field appeared. The defense
counsel has been demanding it
since the trial started. Ford said
it was the first time he had seen
it. He denied being an ignorant
idealist but said he is merely ig-
norant of many things.
Ford admitted his ignorance of
history, and said he more than
ever considered it bunk growing
out of tradition, nor had he any
personal use for music or other
forms of art. He reaffirmed his
belief that professional soldiers
are murderers and did not except
Gems. Pershing or Grant from
that category. He said his pres
ent view is for fullest prepared
ness unless the League of Nations
is formed. If such a league is
not formed, he favors another
great war without delay to clean
Hlt H
the situation SO thoroughly that
universal peace will be had.
