Start in Two Weeks

Manhattan IS perking up, accord
ing to reports received from the

pleasing to all Interested in the great

a visitor to Tonopah yesterday for
the purpose of hiring a number Of
miners. gave it as his opinion that
the big White Caps mill would be
brought into commission during the
next two weeks and probably soon.
er The plant has been thoroughly
overhauIt, and the machinery ad-
iusted. and what makes matters all
the more simplifiod lay in the fact
that there is plenty Of ore available
OF a spleudid gsde to insure con
tinuous reduction for an indefinite
period.
Despite the setbacks which Man
haitian has suffered as a result OF
two serious conflagrations wherein
.he bu.uess section of the town was
practically destroy. d, the people are
optimistic and are building for a fu-
lure that is full of promise. There
are score of Icasers at work in
various sections of the camp and
cute substantial production is be-
ing made. A number Of companies
are making ready for the resumption
of work and within the next sixty
days there should be a hum of ac'
uyity that has not been noticed be-
fore in a number of years.

Given to Sweden by New
York Radio Bug

STOCKHOLM, Aug 7.-(By Mail
to Associated Press)-"Apply for
your wave length now or you will be
eft ont in the cold' was the warn
ing advice given to Sweden by 7. w.
Nexanderson of New York, chief en-
g.neer Of a radio corportion, who is
making a business visit to Sweden
his native land. The radio corpor-
alton has entered its bid for delivery
Of appartus and equipment for the
new high power wireless station
which Sweden is building on its
west coast.
Mr.. Alexanderson declared that in
his opinion radio traffic should be
monopolized by the various govern
ments of the world. Otherwise he
sad the confuson in the air will be-
come so great that all radio service
may ultimately be rendered impossi-
be.
The awarding of wave lengths to
transatlantic stations now is made

Plea Leaves Society UnprO-

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 8-Insan-
ity as a defense should be done

j. not only tends to leave society un.
protected from the acts of persons

ed Curtis D. Wilbur, associate JUS
tice Of the supreme court of Cali
fornia, in an address today before
the judicial section of the Ameri

AT present the defense of insan,
ity is a trap for the insane and a
way OF escape for the sane" he
said. 1T is a humbug, a pretense,
a cloak for hypocricy, an invita-
tion to murder all too frequently ac.
cepted by the jealous lover, the
discarded mistress the indignant
father or outraged husband"
He said the unwritten law had
taken such hold Of the Imagination
Of the people that the trial of a
murderer became the trial of the
dead man. whose yiIalnies are ex
aggrated as a cause for the defend
ant becoming insane.

CLAIMS BASE BALL.
: IS NOW MONOPOLY
Baltimore Club Of Detunct
Federal League Presses Ap-
peal in Highest Court.

Professional base ball. as represented /
by major and minor leagues operating |,
under the national agreement, was at
tackled yesterday in the Supreme Court !
by counsel fer the Baltimore Club OF !
the defunct Federal League. in arguing |
the suit of that club for damages alleged
to have been suffered when the Federal
League d:sbanded under peace"
agreement with organized base bail.
The Baltimore club contended yester- |
day that professional base ball teams |
under their schedules engage iD Inter- !
state commerce, and that those which ,
are parties TO the rational agreement
constitute a monopoly in restraint OF
interstate commerce. In violation OF
the sherman antitrust law The de-
cision of the court in passing upon
the white slave traffic act. the plain
tiff asserted. clearly established that
transportation Of individuals across
state lines was interstate commerce,
over which Congress had jurisdiction.
senator Peppers Views.
While transit across state lines is
an essential feature of professional
base ball, Senator Pepper OF Pennsyl-
vania. counsel for the major leagues,
argued was not the end in view.
but merely the means of getting the
players to the point at which the con-
test was to be played. He likened
such transportation to the sending OF
surgeons tools into another state for
use In an operation.
Senator Pepper insisted, however,
that the important question before
the court was whether the playing Of
the games was within the scope of
congressional regulation. since the
mere fact that the players habitually
and necessarily cross state lines is not
legally a material circumstance"
The Court of Appeals of the District
of Columbia. in reversing q decision
of the Supreme Cou5t of the District
of $240.000. had held. Senator Pepper
pointed out, that professional base
ball teams were not engaged in in
terstate commerce.
The, world championship series
should the national agreement be held
unlawful. Senator Pepper declared.
NO statute can be construed as ap-
plying to combinations to regulate
sport" he said. unless Congress has
plainly indicated an intention that
this should happen"
Baltimore Club'a Claims.
The court must decide whether or
or the law is above Them" counsel
for the Baltimore club said. contend
ing that the whole defense in this
case rests upon the assumption that
the life OF the business of providing
exhibition or professional base ball
as they torganized base ball} con-
duct 1t depends not upon competi-
tion, but upon the complicated and
complete restrainment and regulation

CRADLE MOVES TO STOP
WALKOUT OF 400, 900
Goes to Chicago in Effort to
Keep Way Men Working.

DETROIT. July II ASSOCIATED Press).
Efforts TO avert walkout OF 400. 900
men employed on the ma
TONS railroads were shifted to Chicago
to-day with the departure for that city
this afternoon OF Il. F. Cradle grand
president of the International Brother
hood OF Maintenance of Way Employees
and Railway Shop Laborers.
Mr.. Cradle expects to confer with the
United States Railroad Labor Board in
the effort to find a way of preventing a
walkout.
Chief among the questions to be dis
oussed by Mr.. Cradle and board mem
bsrs. it was said. would be the alleged
practice OF certain railroads in compell-
ing maintenance OF way men to perform
duties of striking shopmen. This alleged
practice, Mr.. Cradle said upon his re-
turn from Washington last night, is the
crux of the situation. If railroads con-
tinue~ to press upon maintenance men
duties Of striking shopmen. a walkout
of the brotherhood is inevitable, the
president said.
During the few hours that he was at
his deck here to-day Mr.. Cradle read
hundreds OF communications from local
and district Brotherhood leaders, most Of
the messages being in protest against
compelling maintenance men to perform
the duties Of strikers. II was said at
the unions headquarters that in every
instance OF this kind investigated so
far, II was found minor railroad officials
had given the orders asking the men to
perform these services. Mr.. Cradle will
demand that the railroad board urge Npe
railroads to abolish this practice. ~
