BASEBALL DECISION.

The baseball player today may feel
that his position in life has been ex-
allied The supreme court of the
United States has ruled that organized
baseball is not doing business that
may be called interstate commerce :"
The clubs are not liable under the
Sherman antitrust law-they do not
constitute illegal combinations.
All of which in every day language
means that the base hit produced by
the bat of Babe Ruth is not some
thing manufactured in one state and
carried by its manufacturer or its
manufacturer agent into another
state and sold, although the, people of
that other state do pay their money
to see Mr.. Ruth, who has brought his
ability to make home runs from across
a state line. The ball clubs, in other
words, are transporting ability and
not the product of ability turned, on
one side of state line into the fin
ished product and carried across that
line and sold.
In sense it might be said that the
raw material-the ability-is taken
from one state to another. but the fact
is undisputed that the finished pro-
duct, the base hit, the fast or slow ball
of pitcher the splendid fielding of a
shortstop-all these things are made
and displayed in the state where the
people purchase chance to see them.
A base hit made in the Polo Grounds,
New York, would be of little value on
Forbes field, RECONSIDERATION goes
to show that the supreme court knew
what it was talking about

cent accident there which, fortunately,
did not prove fatal.
Last night the Mayor proposed a
definite plan. He recited the fact
that six lives have been lost there
since 1919 He said the crossing had
been ordered safeguarded, the grade
crossing eliminated, He said that
nothing had been done. He urged
action, Results will come. it is be-
lieved, 1t is devoutly hoped.
It is a pleasant spectacle to see the
common council engaged in taking
action which involves something
ether than the saving of money for
the city. The true province OF the
body was shown last night. Protec-
ton of life and looking after the well
tare OF the people is as great part
OF its duty as looking after the
financial interests of the city.
1t is good to find a Mayor who
stops, at Il meeting of great interest,
to take up such an affair and give
some time to 1t, before passing 10
other matters. 1t is good 10 see one
in office who does not forget the mat
ters of pressing need. This prompt
action, If the persons authorized to
move in the matter are equally ener-
getic, will impress the public util-
ties commission.

Second Warier Throws Harpoon Into

Good Word TO Say For Present.

PRESIDENT of Buell. street, in the
Herald OF Monday, May 2ath,
Dear First Warder; You are taking
the right course in the matter OF
which you complain, but, let me call
attention to another nuisance that
has existed for more than dozen
years and of which the authorities
have been apptised number of
times and located at East Ellis and
Cherry streets,
A contemplate feature with II Is
that, the Health Board has sent out
as public expense, notices, requesting
citizens to report wherever nuisances
are found to exist, such as stagnant
pools of water which they Will tell
you are dangerous TO health or
located at certain places) but, when
their attention has been called to this,
the worst of all places, they find that,
it does not breed mosquitoes, it does
not spread malaria, in short, Is no
menace to health-that is, to the
health Of that class of people who live
In that neighborhood and, If there Is a
worse stink-pot anywhere else within
the limits of New Britain let us know
where it is?
Do you, friend first warder, believe
that such a condition would be toll
Grated in the vicinity Of Harrison
street, or any other street in that
section? No, not for "a hours, but,
these law-abiding citizens and tax
payers have endured it for more than
twelve years and, what's more, they
certainly would have to put up with 1t
indefinitely if the political machine
had not been put out of commission
in the last city election, for as I
CHANGED to pass that nasty cesspool a
few days ago l found to my astoni~h-
ment that. the new Board of Public
Works had already started to drain
the pond to make the surroundings
habitable for mankind.
This only illustrates what can de
done by officials when they attend to
the business for which they are ap-
pointed and paid, instead of-curb-
cruising.
One eminent writer has said: Con
necticut was never known to turn
rascal out" but evolution changes
conditions. So let's hope that New
Britain with it's newly elected mayor
and his official family will prove that
to be fallacy, at least, so far as our
city is concerned.
confident, what you justly complain of,
will receive due attention, as / am,
in common with many others, glad to
note, that the new administration
seems to act for all, without regard
to pedigree or social standing.

SUICIDES INCREASE
AMONGEX-SOLD|ERS
War Casualties Are Just Becom.
ing Known

Indianapolis, Ind, June 1.-The
worst casualties suffered by American
soldiers during the world war are just
beginning to show themselves. By
contrast troops wounded on the
battlefelds are lucky compared with
the greatly increased casualties of to-
day, according to c. j. Harris, an
official of the American Legion's ma
tional headquarters here, in charge of
eX-soldier claims against the govern
ment.
Many. Suicides.
There is an average of two ex-
soldier suicides a day, Mr.. Harris de-
clares following a study of reports.
These men, Mr.. Harris finds, almost
without exception, were in the battle
lines in France. These soldiers, the
Legion official contends, were dis
charged by army doctors as normal
Since the war, however, these men,
struggling for a living, have under
gone mental anguish that their war
racked nerves could not withstand.
There are two ways in which the
Legion hopes to minister to these
mental cases and to prevent their in
crease, Mr.. Harris points out. The
Langly bill now law, provides sl7,-
900, 900 for the construction of new
hospitals. The larger portion Of this
money is to be spent in creating ia
cilities for treating the neuro- psychla-
tries, mental patients. The Legion is
also preparing to petition congress to
liberalize the present Sweet bill. This
bill now makes it impossible for an
ex-soldier to obtain government treat
ment for war injuries which show up
more than two years after discharge
from service, The Legion contends
that it might easily be five years after
discharge before injuries, physical and
mental effects of his service would
appear.
Many Mental Cases.
Mr.. Harris further charges that the
United States Veterans Bureau, in
charge of the treatment and rehabii-
tation of the world wars disabled, Is
in error concerning the gravity OF the
neuro- psychiatric sufferers. A recent
Veterans Bureau report shows that
the bureaus total capacity for treat
ment of neuro- psychiatric cases is
6,099 beds. Mr.. Harris says he has
reports from Legion liaison represen-
tatives in each of the bureaus IA re-
gional districts to show that IN four
of the IA districts alone there are
24,50S mental cases on record. These
four districts include West Virginia,
District of Columbia, Virginia, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Maryland, Florida, Georgia.
Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas Missouri,
Washington, Oregon and Idaho or
the number 2,11a are being treated in
government hospitals and 996 IN con-
tract institutions.
The Veterans Bureau reports put
4,62S service men in the entire United
States undergoing treatment for men
tai disorder in government institu-
tons.
The Legion is asking the co-opera-
ton OF the public in its effort proper
ly to protect post-bellum shell-shock
cases. Mr.. Harris says that friends
and relatives should be quick to re-
port an ex-soldier who shows signs OF
mental disorder, and to induce him to
submit to an examination and treat
ment
