HUNDREDS OF STEERS
STAMPEDED ON BOARD
STEAMER IN HAVANA

Havana, June Hundreds of fine
steers stampeded on board the Ameri-
can steamer St. Charles outside of Ha-
vana harbor Saturday afternoon, and
after creating panic on board the
ship. plunged into the sea, where they
became the prey of the sharks which
infest the waters off MORO Castle.
Except for a comparatively few that
swan ashore and are now wandering
abou in the suburbs of this city, all
of the 800 animals on the vessel are
believed to have persisted.
Sanitary officers who inspected the
vessel on her arrival Saturday were
alarmed when they found $50 dead
steers in the hold Of the ship. To avoid
possible danger to the people of the
city, they ordered the captain of the
St. Charles to put out to sea and there
threw overheard the carcaases of the
cattle that had died. While the crew
was engaged In this onerous task the
steers on board became stampeded,
broke down their corrals and ran
amuck. Frightened animals ran up
and down the decks and plunged over

THE CHAUTAUQUA
TO COME NEXT YEAR

The Redpath Chautauqua which
opened five days engagement here
last Thursday, was success in every
way. The lectures were fine as well
as the other features.
Saturday night Thomas Brooks
Fletcher delivered a mastery address
to a packed tent. which was well re-
ceived and loudly applauded to. Al
though much had been said about Mr..
Fletcher's address in advance of his ar
rival here we failed to see where he
had it very much on DR.. George l..
Parker who lectured Thursday night,
or the learned Judge M. Schoonover.
who was the speaker on Friday night.
Of the three lectures it is the hum
BILE opinion of this editor that Judge
Schoonover's effort was the best of
the three.
The American Girls did splendidly
and deserve special mention. While
this program was somewhat out of the
ordinary it seemed to take well, and
the girls were repeatedly called back.

WILL REIN UNTIL

Will Hold Himself At Command Of
His Country in Time Of
Crisis or Otherwise.

Washington, June Cen. Pershing
will retire from active service within
a few months. He announced his in
tention today in letter to Secretary
Baker.
The commander of the American ex-
peditionary forces declared he felt he
could give up his military duties with
out impairing the service and "thus
be free to engage in something more
active. The general did not indicate
the nature of his future activities.
Gen. Pershing assured Secretary
! Baker that he would remain in the
service until the work involved in the
carrying out the army reorganization
was completed. He gave the added
assurance that in any future crisis
he would be at the call of the nation.
| The generals letter to Secretary
Baker was made public by Col. j. o.
Quekemeyer, his aide. 1t follows:
Dear Mr.. Secretary:
| referring to our conversation of a
few days ago. l wish to say that it
has long been my desire to return to
civil life. Throughout my military
career l have been much occupied ard
the assignments that have fallen to
my lot during recent years have been
more or less important.
at now appears that my duties are
not likely to be of character that
will require more than portion of my
time. Under the circumstances | feel
that upon the completion of the work
contemplated by the army reorganiza-
ton act, l could relinauish military
duty without detriment to the service
and the need of freedom to engage in
something more active.
therefore, unless a situation
should develop to Justify my remain
ing l contemplate taking the step in
dicated within the next months.
"Should the necessity arise in time
of crisis or otherwise. l assure you,
Mr.. Secretary. that l shall stand
ready to serve my country in the fu-
ture as Thave in the past.
"With respect and highest esteem,
II remain,
every Sincerely,
JOHN ]. PERSHING."

THE RUSSIAN WRANGEL

General Wrangel accedes to the di-
vision of lands among the Russian
peasants and with that concession his
opposition to the Bolsheviki seems to
be academic only Times Union.
Not quite academic. He wants to
run the thing. From writers who
have studied the Russian situation
on the ground, it is easy to perceive
that fully ninety per cent Of the Rus
slams are socialists of some kind. But
like their tribe the world around,
they are constantly wrangling, or
Wrangeling, over who shall run 1t,
and how it shall be administered
The mob of political nondescripts
which met in Chicago to form new
party is probably fair representa-
ton Of Russia as it Is. And this

If this condition were the result
of poverty, the only thing to do would
be to preach thrift and industry and
pray for its early relief. But the
wealth of the nation is ample to pro-

spirited men and women to lose no
time in devising a remedy.
In some way, capital must be in
duced to invest in houses. Whether
this can be best achieved by loans,
by cooperation, by government as

some other means, is part of the

GRIMES TO THE BAT.

Burleigh Grimes, star spitball
pitcher of the Brooklyn Robins,
champions of the National league,
who is one of the few spitball pitch
ers remaining in the majors, makes
a strong plea for the splitter
Mr.. Grimes is quoted at length on
the proposition. and there's quite a
COB of logic in what he has to say:
big league club owners set up a
mighty squawk when another of their
class hampers with some other mag
mates players. The howl is set up
if the athlete and owner merely talk.
The one maintains that the other
owner has no right to talk to play
ers under contract. Then, why is a
group Of club owners allowed to take
the spitball delivery from men who
have spent from 10 to / 8 years of his
short life to perfect it?

Carpenter and Dempsey Will
Likely Clash at Famous

TOLEDO, Dec. Negotiations
were opened between Jack Kearns,
manager of Jack Dempsey, worlds
champion heavyweight pugilist, and
Ad Thatcher, Toledo promoter, today
with a view to staging the proposed
Dempsey Carpenter match in To-
ledo. Thacher received a telegram
from Kearns in New York city ask
ing the promoter to look over the
ground here and report to him by
telephone" The two men are ex-
pected to confer later in the day.
According to Kearns it does not
look probable that the bout can be
staged in New York and there does
not seem to be logical location
elsewhere at present. Thacher was
Tex Richards assistant in promoting
the Willard Dempsey bout here a.
year ago last July when Dempsey
won his title.
Thacher said today that he would
go before the commission for a per-
init for a decision bout if he can
make a satisfactory deal with
Kearns."

GOLF WAR LOOMS
NLATE PROPOSAL
New Construction and By
Laws Sought by Western
Association.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA Var for
supremacy in the control of golf IN
America is promised by the proposal
sent out yesterday by the directors
Of the Western Golf association for
the adoption of a new constitution
and bylaws at the coming annual
meeting Jan. IS, changing the name
10 the American Golf association, TO
act as the authoritative administra-
tive body for making and enforcing
the rules for the playing of golf in
the U. S"
Heretofore, the Western associa-
ton has limited it's membership to
clubs west of line just east of Pitts
burgh, Buffalo and Atlanta but the
new constitution provides for in
vasion of the East, which has been
solely under the L. s. Golf associa-
ton, which has been recognized AS
The authority in American golf. The
western organization has grown to
include nearly 800 clubs as members,
while the United States Golf associa-
ton has nearly 400 members, of
which about a fourth are active and
voting. OF these active members,
nearly so are in Western Golf as
ISOLATION territory, but leaders in the

wonder if the major league owners
ever think of the fact that, if the
spltoall pitchers who are ruled out
with the coming of spring find them
selves unable to develop another kind
or delivery or a curve pail, those
men are out of employment.
Il have spoken with all the spitball
twiClers in the National league and
each one of them says that he has
not an effective curve in his roper
Tory The committee that was Sc
lected to investigate the spitball and
then ruled to Danish 1t should hu-
namely consider the pitchers posi-
tlon. A twirler who has depended
for any length of time solely upon
the splitter and upon the fast ball can
not get by on the fast ball alone. The
muscles OF a pitchers arm develop
IN the way that the member is used.
In an adult fully matured as most
spltball pitchers are, to change from
the customary delivery Is physiologi-
cally impossible.
ITO the best of my belief, a big
league spitball pitcher throws ten
of his special brand of balls to one
curve in a season as an average,
Everyone can see how impossible the
change is. If all sptball pitchers, in
