LABS HAVE HARD LUCK

Attic the Laboratory nine has been
trailing along in last place for some
time, that is nc conclusion that they
are playing poor ball. The old jinx
must be following them for they have
been putting some real fight into their
games, have been playing as good and
often better than their opponents, but
the breaks have been against them
when the crises have arrived.
Last Fridays game with the Ne
chanics, who have been cleaning up,
was all that one could expect in the
way Of tense moments and it was
great pitching on the part of Emil
Altwegg that pulled the Labs out of
three bad holes. Three times the Me
chanics got men as far as second and
third with one or none out and three
times Emil kept them scoreless.
Poole and Spicer, the first two up
in the third, reached third and Sec
ond. No out with the lead off men,
Patterson, Mercer and Hunter, facing
him. was enough to make a strong
heart weaken. Joe famed, Mercer
had sulphur in his eyes and the best
"Shackie" could do was to fly for the
third out to centre field. The very
next inning found a similar situation
with the bases full and one down, but
Emil again arose to the situation and
famed two.
Still the Labs were leading in the
sixth by n run, but Pennington had
just reached third on Joe Brunham-
mer's two sacker and none were out.
Emil caught Pennington too far off
third for the first ont while loo was
thrown out at the plate and again the
Mechanics hopes went sailing while
Emil had only one more inning to go
before he would be crowned a hero.
But the crown is still in waiting. He
famed one. Mercer got on when Full
lerton muffed his grounder and Hun
ter's two Dagger followed by Penning-
tons single turned day into night and
the Labs returned to the cellar beside
the Engineers.

Borough Road
Work Progressing
Three New Electric Lights To
illuminate Side Streets

The macadam base has been laid by
the contractor on all streets as pro-
vided in the contract and now the
work is being rushed to completion
with the application of Tarvia by the
large motor tank truck with its own
heating apparatus which gives the
stone a thorough ~drenching of tar
compound.
The property owners on West Maple
Avenue made a request of the Bor-
ough Council on Tuesday evening to
have better drainage to remove the
water which lays in front of their
property. The council agrees that the
matter should be remedied and the
street committee was ordered to make
an inspection and have the street
scraped in order to give them the
proper drainage.
Some trouble is being experienced
by the contractor at a spot On Pitman
Street west of the railroad which is
quicksandy and the base will not hold.
1t is thought that proper drainage
will remedy the matter and such will
be attempted.
The removal of an electric light
which was formerly located near the
old canning factory on Bay Street,
brought such a protest from the resi-
dents of that district that it was or
dered replaced. The people in the
vicinity of Herold and Alden Avenues
will now have their homeward paths
lighted by a new light and likewise
the request for a light on Church
Street near State was granted after
due consideration.

reported as follows:

Fire Chief, David Johnson, reported

minor repairs at the engine having
been made.
At the previous meeting there was
some discussion as to who was to
make repairs to the sluice on the
lower shore which drains the Cove
meadows. AS it is entirely on the
property of the DUPONT Company the
Clerk was ordered to notify them that
the council would expect them to have
the sluice put in good condition i'm

RUMORED
Believed England Has Asked

LONDON, June 1s-Persistent
reports were current here this
afternoon that Great Britain has
informally sounded Washington as
to whether the United States would
be willing to act as arbitrator in
the Ruhr repara tons crisis.
While the origin of these reports
was not determined, they are be-
lieVed to have arisen from Premier
Stanley Baldwin's speech Saturday
when he said the whole world was
looking to Great Britain and
America for salvation.
Another Interpretation placed
upon the speech was that Great
Britain may see cooperation of
the United States in event of an
Anglo-French break upon the Ruhr
issue.
Premier Poincare, Of France, has
sent a communication to Belgium
regarding the reply to the recent

HOUSE Of VICE
ILLEGAL
Philadelphia Judge Says Off
Gals Had insufficient
Information.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1S.-The
quarantine established by the
health department over alleged dis
orderly houses in the tenderloin
was declared illegal in a decision
given by Judge McCullen, in Quar-
ter Sessions Court No. 3, in the
habeas corpus proceedings brought
on behalf Of Pearl White, one OF
the women quarantined.
The information for the quaran
tine was furnished by Lieutenant
Of Detectives Lee, head of the vice
squad.
Judge McCullen, in his opinion
reviews the provisions Of the act
Of April 81, 1921, under which the
health authorities established the
quarantine over women suspected
Of suffering from disease.
The opinion points out that the
health officials lack authority to
accept as conclusive evidence the
mere filing Of a complaint and in
formation against a person, without
legal proof that the information is
true, even though the purpose Of the
quarantine was to have a medical
examination made of those believed
to be diseased.
1.-THE evidence discloses not only
lack Of justification for the quar-
antine but indicates that q quar-
antine as conducted in this in.
stance could DO of little or nc
value as a safeguard to public
health when the alleged menace
is permitted to leave the premises
and roam at large" Judge McCul
len said.
At the time Of the hearing OF tes

house. Judge McCullen. sitting
as a committing magistrate, held
the woman in $1,000 bail for court.

quarantine on her house. she must
stand trial on the disorderly house

OF LIQUOR, so HE STEALSIT

Of good liquor cached in a closed

Karlick admitted yesterday in

BERLIN, June 1S.-The Cuno
government today is faced with a
labor wage revolt which threatens
to get beyond control Of the trade
union leaders. The latter have
just sent a warning to Chancellor
Cuno which is repetition of the
warning of June 2 which remained
unanswered.
Labor wants a sweeping read
justment of wage scales, insisting
that the American dollar or the
gold mark be set up as the basis.
Germany today Is a country
where every workman is mill
lionaire, but the more millions ne
gets the less he can buy for his
paper marks because prices keep
pace with the rise in the value OF
the dollar. Saving is useless for
the same reason.
German masses are living from
hand to mouth. This is gradually
undermining the morale of the
people.
Sporadic strikes are breaking out
everywhere with the rank and file
ignoring the veteran leaders. Mean
while the reds are active enlisting
recruits among the disconnected
and rebellious ranks Of the unions.
The present week finds the gov
eminent in a critical position while
awaiting a decisive answer to the
latest PREPARATIONS not addressed to
the entente. Internal labor storms
are brewing. which may easily de-
velop into a general strike. But
the trade union treasures are de.
pleted and it would be impossible
to give relief doles If a general
strike broke out.
Unions have found 1t impossible
to increase dues proportionately
to the rise in the value of
the dollar. Consequently If a gen.
eral strike did not come about 1t
would be forced by the irresistible
pressure Of the working masses and
thus an opening would be given
for the reds who might quickly
gain the upper hand.
A big meeting of the heads Of
the various unions has been called
for next Thursday. It may have
a decisive effect upon the future
Of German labor.
