Pitcher Hailed AS Recruit Has Thrice Been
Resurrected BY The Majors

The data OH Boehler brings out
some information which probably
has passed the eagle eyes of the Ma
ton League fans. He was born Jan.
2, 1894, at Lawrenceburg, Ind, which
puts him mighty close to the 3O-year
mark.
Boiler made his professional debut
in 1912 with Springfield in the Ohio
State League. He was purchased by
the Tigers and spent 1913, 1914, 1915
and part of 1916 with the Tigers. He
was released to Louisville in the
summer of 1916. In 1917 he, was
with Denver and with Joplin in 1918,
1919 and 1920.
The st. Louis Browns in bidding
for pitching talent brought in Boea-
Ter in the spring of 1919, but after a
months trial ne was sent to Tulsa.

TWO GOOD IDEAS

The Herald prints in Its news col
 umns today two announcements af fecting the welfare and pocketbook!
 of everyone in the commonwealth One is from the state motor vehicle
 department, referring to the use of
 older boys as traffic policemen when
 schools are being dismissed for the day. The other, from the state high
 way department, concerns the action 1 of the corresponding department in | Rhode Island in limiting loads which
 may be carried by trucks on certain 1 roads in this state.
 | The idea of using older boys to usher
 young children acress the street after
 school7~is suggested by the superin-
 tendent of the school department in a Connecticut City. It is splendid thought which deserves consideration.
 With the growth of automobile traffic many cities face q seroius financial problem because of the need of more policemen for street duty. By se- lecting responsible boys and having the chief of the police department appoint them to a juvenile traffic force, many accidents might be prevented. Each boy thus appointed could report to po- lice headquarters the license number on cars operated by reckless drivers during hours on which they were on duty. The city would thus reduce the accident hazard and train youths for q vocation which is becoming increas- ingly important and which requires special knowledge and ability It would be worth while experiment.
 It is intimated by the state highway department in it's announcement that Connecticut will soon adopt the system of Rhode Island in limiting truck l loads on certain roads. This is as it should be. Connecticut spends millions | of dollars every year for new roads, | which quickly disintegrate under the | pounding of trucks to which | they are subjected. Destruction Is heavy especially in the spring when the frost is working its way out of the ground. Admitting that truck owners contribute heavily to the upkeep of the highways, their vehicles are re- sponsible for more damage than from any other source.

PINCHOT,s PLANS

We have been accustomed to thinl of Governor Pinchot as an intelligent high minded official He has posed and is still posing as being above petty or big politics He was the sort of man, in the opinion of the president of the United States, who would un- selfshly assist him in perplexing situation that involved the comfort and welfare of citizens all over the country. That was the coal situation when d great strike threatened
 The president called upon Pinchot to help him. Pinchot immediately came into greater prominence because of this evidence of trust on the part of President Coolidge. Governor Pinchot, head of the great coal state where the miners are power and where the operation of the mines is conducted about as the miners want it to be, gave that help. "ssettling" the strike by urging giving the miners half the pay increase they asked-which was all they expected, probably-and by pleasing them in other matters. The strike was off; plenty of coal was in sight. The price? Well, Governor Pinchot having settled" the strike and having seen to it that he did all he could to get the mines in operation suggested that there should be no in- crease in price because the operators and the railroads could absorb the Amount of the a per cent wage in-

THIS CONTRACT BUSINESS

The city meeting board is, in theory
 the most nearly representative bod,
 we have In this city. II Is supposed
 to do all the things the voters used ts
 to for themselves under the old eits
 meeting plan. Ii has the last word
 to be the voters oheck-uron some
 matters Of expenditure The fact that
 the members do not attend the ses-
 sions Of the city meeting board in
 greater numbers mars its representa-
 tive capacity. Of course, but that is an-
 other matter.
 Next comes the common council. Its
 members are regular in attendance and. as rule, faithful servants of the
 people-again, as rule. and disre- garding the politics" too unpleasant ly present. As the city meeting board is a check, so is the common council check. It Is not body supposed to manage the details of the work Of the city. If there is sewer to be dug members of the common council are not asked to go out and dig it. The board of public works has this in charge. Men are hired to do this work Those men have no right, for instance, to plan the sewer. They do the work these people whose business it is to do it, under direction of the board of public works.
 Then come the boards and com missions, next to the common council. As the city meting board is check upon action of the common council, so the common council is check upon the boards and commissions and departments. As the common council is a check upon these boards, so the boards check up upon the work of the individuals employed.
 The whole system is one of checking up. The city meeting board has no right to interfere with the duties of the common council, and the common council has no right to dictate to the | boards in certain matters. The city | meeting board may forbid certain | proposed action of the common coun- cil. and the council may prevent con- templated action by the boards, just as the mayor may stop the going into effect of resolution by his veto. The mayor cannot, in that veto, make new arrangements in regard to the matter he opposes He says you shall not do this thing. His situation differs from that of the council only in that the council may override such veto. The illustration shows merely the extent to which the Checking up" system is carried on according to the theory of the government of the city.
 The charity board has the right to name the concern which 1t wants to do it's work. The common council may prevent this by it's veto" That is all the common council may do and if it continues this stand it may prevent forever the carrying out of the exact wishes of the board But as the mayor may not make legal new resolution to take the place of one he vetoes. so ( the common council cannot originate ( a new contract for one of it's depart 2 ments to take the place of one submit q ted by that department to which the 1 council objects. s

DUESSELDORF IS
 MORE QUIET NOW
Stores Are Closed But Looting Is
 Not Resumed
By The Associated Press.

Dusseldorf, Oct. 15.-The store.
 here remained closed today, but the footing which terrorized the city Sat. urday was not resumed. The muni- clpal authorities have called upon the population to organize 8 ef-protec- tive body to help the police in case of further trouble.
 The police today raided number Of houses near the stores that were footed and recovered large quantities of merchandise. Sixteen alleged leaders of the looters were arrested by the authorities of occupation. Sew martialed and the others surrendered to the German authorities.
 The widespread footing here and I elsewhere in the Ruhr during the past three days is declared at French head quarters to have been more of poli- tical maneuver arranged by conniv- ance between the Nationalists and the Communists, than due to suffering through unemployment. The French officials lay the blame upon Dr. Gruetzner, the former district presi- dent who since his expulsion from Dusseldorf has continued to exercise authority indirectly from Barmen, just across the border from the oc- cupied zone.
 Conspiracy Claimed
 The French assert they have good evidence that Dr. Gruetzner and his henchmen conspired to create a situ- ation embarrassing not only to the French but to the Stresemann govern ment, at which the Nationalists are extremely disgruntled. The French believe that Dr. Gruetzner's plans were known to a large section of the population here, which they point out would go far in explaining the appar ont good-natured disinterestedness of the crowds of onlooSers while Satur- days vandalism was in progress.
 Other evidences indicating that the plundering was not entirely due to hunger, are the facts that hundreds of pounds of foodstuffs were dumped in the streets, that sacks of flour were ripped open and left on the floors of the stores and that barrels of oil were tapped and allowed to flood the pill laged establishments.
 The French statistical bureau an- nounced today that the food supplies | in the occupied area were much above | the normal 1880 carloads of food stuffs having entered the occupied area Saturday whereas the average daily importations before the absn donment of passive resistance were less than 600 carloads and the aver age before the Ruhr was occupied less than 500 carloads.
