SAYS JAIL TERMS
 WILL REDUCE VICE
Judge Should Cooperate With Police and Impose Stiff Penalty,
 Is View

CHICAGO, March 15.-Judges must cooperate with the police for the most effective method of suppressiug crime and vice, Samuel P. Thrasher, chairman of Committee of Fifteeen, Investigating vice in Chicago, told a Grand Jury.
 "Jail sentences and not the GUS tomary small fines will do the work" said Thrasher. 'The average fine paid by women taken in vice raids is three dollars. Such fine, can have no salutary effect.
 ''The men who live off the pro- ceeds of these women can easily pay these fines, but they cannot serve their jail sentences. If all the courts and juries would start imposing jail sentences vice would be reduced ap- preciably."

AIR GLIDER MEET TO

CHICAGO, March 15.-A competi- tion for gliders is being arranged to be held in St. Louis next October at the time of the Pulitzer Trophy race, according to I. J. O'Malley, secretary of the Aviation Club of Chicago.
 A number of machines are under construction in Chicago, MT. O'Malley states, and the entry list of men op- erating motorless gliding machines will be large. "A machine built from the plans of the "Vampy" glider, which made the worlds record at the German meet last August, is now in

Weed Dickinson Thinks Boys Can Trim

PUNCHERS "SOME RIDERS"
Negotiating With Polo Clubs to Arrange a
 Series of Games

NEW YORK, March 15.-The spec tacle of cowboys in chaps, spurs and twogallon hats, indulging in that polite pastime known to the drawing room element as polo, may be pre- sented to Eastern society at Mead owbrook, Piping Rock, Newport, Mar ragansett Pier and other cultured points, if the citizenry of Casper, Wyo., may be permitted a voice in the matter. Polo is not one of the popular dissipations among Cas- per's fast set, but since riding a horse seems to be included in the games activities, they are inclined to believe that some few of the natives might qualify.
 Is Casper Booster
 That, at any rate, would appear to be the idea of one Weed Dickin- son, Caspers local oracle and general exhorter. The worthy MT. Dickinson is a former New York sports writer and occasionally he is seized with notions. He thought this one out all by himself.
 It seems that they are to have rodeo at Casper in the more or less immediate future, and Brother Dick inson would round up the various winners and inform them outright that they are polo players. In case some malcontents may be disposed to doubt his word MT. Dickinson further plans to produce a coach from the Southern California col ony and have the latter spend some months training the natural aptitude of these gentlemen of cows into the proper channels.
 This done he would send his outfit East to take on all corners, and i'll consequence of the astounding eXhl- bitions of skill and daring the name of Casper would roll off every tongue with gratifying regularity and eX- treme relish. That's the kind ot mouth-organ Brother Dickinson is.
 Says They Can Ride
 eve would like to send back East a nice little group of riders and they can what I mean ride-Who have some slight knowledge of polo, to play with the boys," says he in his unique way. 'It might lead to a few Fasteners discovering that Casper is a town instead of a medi- cine"
 In pursuance of this thought he is even now in correspondence with var ious Eastern polo arrangements ana expects to strike fair average by way of encouraging replies. The fact that Caspers noble sons seek not Eastern gold for purposes other than to keep railroad conductors. walters and hotel clerks in a good humor may be an abiding influence to this end
 In passing it might be said that, irrespective of our friends oratory, the natives of Casper seem to be wind-driven lot.
 "The wind blows so hard,' re- marks our correspondent, "it forces the conversation right back where it originated, and most guys carry typewriter through the streets and write what they have to say. The wind stopped for five minutes the other day, and everybody fell down!"
 And that's the kind of a mouth organ friend Dickinson is.

BULLETS FLYING AROUND HIS

the United States and will compete," said MT. O'Malley.
 Thought good aeroplane pilot will readily learn to fly glider, no one without previous training in powered flight can expect to successfully ma- nipulate glider. This work requires sense of "feel' and the pre-knowl- edge of detecting the "soaring wave" in the air current. In short, motor less flight instruction has commenced, which bespeaks new era in aeronau- tics. This, coupled with the proven fact that glider, with their large wing area, are immeasurably less liable to accident than heavy power machines, speaks volumes for safety in flight"

because of the attitude of the United States
toward the immigration Of japanese to Amer
lea. You felt that it meant an official act as
serting the inferiority of Japanese and of our
hatred of them. We ask you to take our acts
recently as proof that it was not hatred.
And as to which race is inferior, our common
peoples feeling is exactly like the common feel
ing of Japanese toward u.s. All peoples feel
themselves superior to all others as far as the
common man is concerned. The average Jap
anese feels superior to Americans. The aver
age American feels superior to japanese This
is quite natural and inevitable. Thinkers in
America regard the japanese as racially the
