WOULD MOVE DATE
OF INAUGURATION
American Bar Association Believes
Long Interval Is Dangerous.

st. Louis, Aug. 2S.-The long period
between the election of the president
of the United States and his inau-
guration is "a serious evil fraught
with much danger, according to the
report of the special committee on the
change in date of the presidential in
auguration, presented today to the
convention of the American Bar Asso-
citation, in session here.
The report recommends that the pc
Rod be shortened, and that the short
term of the old congress be eliminated.
1t, however, does not suggest any other
date for the inauguration, explain
ing that March 4, has been recognized
by constitutional amendment as the
date of inaugural. 1t adds:
"The committe, however, is of the
opinion that it is the duty of this
association representing the great body
of lawyers of the country to call the
attention of Congress to those pro-
visions of the law and of the constitu-
ton which are fraught with serious dam
ger and which are liable to bring hu-
initiation and disaster to the republic.
1t states that the period between
election and inauguration is liable to
leave the administration in hands
which have been discredited by pop
ular vote of want of confidence and
that such situation greatly weakens
the prestige of the government both
at home and abroad.

EUROPE LOSES IN
ITS POPULATION
Due to War influences Continent Is
Short Thirty Millions.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Due to war
influences. ten European nations en-
gagged in the world war show poten-
tial loss in population of 35, 800, 600 per
sons since 1914 according to a statis-
teal research conducted by the So
ciety for studying the social conse-
quences of the war of Copenhagen,
made public today by the American
Red Cross.
At the end of 1913, the society re-
ports these nations had a population
of 400.S50,000 and under normal con-
ditions this population should have in
creased by hte middle of 1919 to 424,-
100000 However, it had fallen by that
time to 3S9oS0O0O, which led to the
conclusion by Danish statistician ex-
perts that the loss of actual and po-
tential human life in these nations APP
proximated forty millions.
Causes of the abnormal falling off
in population We're attributed in the
soeiety's report as follows:
Killed in war ISIS, 900.
Deaths due to augmentation OF
mortality, economic blockades, war
epidemics 1901, 900.
Fall in birth rate due to mobilization
of fixty-six men between 90 and As
vars of age. 10000 900.

Sunday afternoon found many peo-
pie on their way to the Gulf on Santa
Rosa Island, all passenger boats ply
ing across the bay reporting record
crowds. The weather in the city be-
ing very. sultry made it hard to resist
getting out bathing suits and fishing
tackle.
The launch Lark on her way over to
the Island suffered a breakdown. and
after a little drifting was picked up
by one of the speed boats of tn flyer
Launch Co. and towed over to the
Coast Guard Station where later in
the day she was able to proceed back
to the city under her own power.
Bayview Park was also popular,
many enjoying the bathing facilities
that are to be found there. An added
attraction was the concert furnished
by Grossjohann's orchestra from to

BASEBALL SCANDAL
HAS BEEN EXPOSED
Shrine Grotto Game Friday to Be lns
tereetina Affair.
(By Doc and Mae.)


SiF Charles He-vey. who has quit
the San Carlos to captain the Shrine
Pirates. in partnership with Noble
Gus Eitsen. says that he has never
felt more confident of success than he
does at the present time. Sir Charles
says that since going into training he
can ride an elevator to the seventh
floor of the San Carlos without any
alarming after effects.
Noble Gus says that he is in the
pink of condition and the fans expect
to see the Official mixer" at his best.
Noble Doc Clements from the naval
hospital says Doc Miller of FIT. Bar
rancas will assist him in taking
charge of stretcher bearers. Both Of
these sawbones gained their reputa
ton in this line during the European
war. Noble Doc Lischkoff will take
entire charge of the base and emer-
gency hospital.
Prophet Burke of the Grotto outfit
believes he can outpitch Noble Hunter
Brown and will handicap him by pitch
ing from second base instead of the
pitchers box. The Grotto team will
permit Prophet Burke to pull this
stunt in the second inning, because
they expect to be at least 20 runs
ahead by that time.
Noble Harvey Bayliss, past mon
arch of the Grotto. has been charged
with attempting to sell or give the
secret tactics of the Shrine baseball
team to a well-known, tall prophet,
who wears a luxuriant mustache. No
BILE Bayliss probably will be barred
from playing on either team.
The Irish consul insists that Noble
Bayliss is as innocent of the surrilous
act as he himself, and suggests that
Noble Bayliss and he of the mustache
should go on a hunger strike and
starve themselves to death.
Noble Walter White has reduced his
time for 100 meters to hours and %
minutes.

GENERAL SWEENY
FIGHTS FOR FUN
American Soldier of Fortune in Polish
Ranks Has Had Wild Career.
ny Associated Press.)

/ PFGSS.)
New York, Aug. 2S.-War despatch
es making more than casual mention
| of Brigadier General Charles Sweeny
/ have lent to the officers at Governors
Island, who are well acquainted with
/ Sweeny-an American soldier of for
tune with both principle and purse.
Men of no fortune at all who fight
in any old or young army for the sake
of excitement and paltry pay are COM
mon enough. But Sweeny, U. S. A
is a notable exception. He is a multi
millionaire's son, his father having
amassed great wealth in the famous
/ Occur D'Alene mines of Washington
and Idaho. and the soldier is more
than millionaire in his own right
He put in three years at West
Point and then sought the life of an
active soldier. In Mexico, South and
Central America and Europe he has
struck blows in desperate causes.
Sweeny, former lieutenant colonel
in the United States army, attached
to the general staff, was in Paris dur
ing the spring of 1919, recovering from
wounds suffered in the Argonne Of
, fensive with the American Expedi-
| tionary Forces when he learned that
Poland was in need of officers for her
new armies. He consulted with. the
then Premier Paderewski and offered
to recruit volunteers when he return
( ed to America to be mustered out Of
/ the service. In three weeks he had
selected 200 former American army
officers, all of whom had seen service
in many battles in France. Colonel
Sweeny sailed for Poland in Septem-
Der of last year with the first of his
officer contingent.
He was not long in getting into the
Pole-Red fight and in recognition of
his splendid services Poland commits
stoned him a brigadier general. Re
cent dispatches say that ne has been
marked out by his gallantry and lead
ership.
This Irish American Polish general
for whom a soft life has held no APP
peal began his career on the battle
field on leaving West Point after he
tried mining for while.
He went to Mexico and got his
baptism of fire" and a wound in the
Madero affair. Upon recovery, Swee-
ny packed up for South America,
where he took hand in several of the
revolutions.
He got into the world war as a pri-
vate in the Foreign Legion. In the
first Champagne battle in September,
1915, Sweeny was commissioned
lieutenant on the field for conspicuous
gallantry. He was severely wounded
and gassed in this battle, and on a
hospital cot in Paris, he was awarded
the Cross of the Legion of Honor
Two other important decorations
were bestowed on him in rapid success
sion and he had a great reputation for
bravery. Soon after being made
captain in the French forces, he was
sent to the United States upon adj
vice Of Ambassador Sharp as an in
structor in 1917.
Sweeny was commissioned major
in the United States army and helped
to train the S0th division at Camp
Lee, Va. He went overseas with the
division, got badly "shot up" in the
Argonne and was promoted to lieu
tenant colonelcy for gallantry before
the enemy, and assigned to the gen.
eral staff of the A. Z. F.
