CONSERVATION STUDY
Introduction Of Course in All
Grade Schools Sought BY
Lovers of Out-of Doors

Those interested in CONSERVING
the natural resources Of Wiscon-
consin are focusing their attention
on the need Of a course of instruc-
ton in conservation in the graded
schools. 1t is logically argued that
if the child is taught from his
earliest school years the many
sided desirability of preserving the
woodlands and game life and the
dangers and economic waste of fire
and destruction, they will grow UP
with a keen appreciation for every
thing pertaining to conservation.
It is advocated that two periods of
fifteen minutes a week be devoted
in every graded school to instruc-
ton of this kind.
Angus Mcdonald, of Lake Breeze,
Three Lakes, is one of the aqitators
for such a measure, and has lately
interviewed a number of school
principals and superintendent on
the question. These, says, Mr.. Nc
Donald, have expressed themselves
unanimously in favor of such in
ctruction. State Superintendent of
Schools John Callahan, under date
Of Dec. S, also favors it. Writing,
to Mr.. Mcdonald, Mr.. Callahan
says:
Il do not think there is a more
important question before the
people of Wisconsin, or any Other
State for that matter, than that Of
conservation of forests and wild
life.
The difficulty of putting it into
the school grows out of the fact
that there is no material prepared
for that purpose. However,
think this could be and should be
done.
Il am to be in Three Lakes some
time in the next week or ten days
and would like to talk this matter
over with you.
Mr.. Mcdonald also wrote to
Governor Blaine on the question,
and received the following answer
from the chief state executive:
Il think that a course in conser-
walton conducted through the
schools would be very beneficial.
Of course there ought to be well
outlined plan and course of study
Ia plan based upon accurate
knowledge of demonstration, fire
prevention, and extinguishment,
habits of wild life and means by
which it can be protected.
That is, the course should be one

H
InquisitOriaI Body Finds No
Evidence Of Third Degree
Tactics BY Police

Lieutenant Joseph w. Pierson
and Policeman Ralph G. Proctor,
of the Seventh precinct, today
were indicted by the Grand Jury
for assault with q dangerous
weapon.
The indictment grew out Of the
alleged beating Of Arthur A. Davis
at the Seventh precinct on Sep.
TENDER 81, last, when Davis
charged that he was beaten by
five policemen and Lieutenant.
Pierson after he had been arrested
on a charge Of attacking Police
man Musselman.
The grand jury intimated that
it believed other policemen were
implicated, but that they had not
been sufficiently identified.
Davis Acquitted.
The indictment. which IL in two
counts, alleges that a blackjack and
blunt instrument" In the hands
OF Proctor was used on Davis and
that he was abetted In so doing
by Lieutenant Pierson. Davis was
acquitted at a hearing In the Police
Court, where he was represented
by Attorneys p. q. Ryan and George
C. Page.
Exoneration, however, Of the
Washington Police Department on
the repeated accusations of employ
ing third.degree methods to obtain
confessions from prisoners and
statements from witnesses, was
given In the report Of the grand
jury, which was submitted to Justice
Frederick L. Siddons. OF the Dis
trict Supreme Court.
In investigating alleged third.
degree methods in the District, the
grand jury was presented with six
complaints.
No Evidence Found.
After hearing an the evidence In
these cases, the Jury reported that
I'VE did not find any evidence to
substantiate any charge or suspicion
that third-degree methods are re-
sorted to by the police Of this city
for the purpose OF obtaining con-
fessions or discriminating state
ments." The report was signed by
George o. Vass, foreman Of the
grand Jury.
In reporting on the investigation
OF the alleged assault on Davis, the
grand jury, after stating that there
was no doubt In the minds Of It's
members that Davis made a coward
ly and brutal attack on an officer"
Davis was later assaulted as IAN

Call Davis Ex-puguEst.

to himself as a boy for the purpose
of gaining sympathy. AS a matter
of fact he is an ex.puguIist, prob

Reissuing of drivers permits

Joint Senate and House District
Committee on Traffic today by
Judge w. Bruce Cobb, New York
magistrate who came here at the
invitation of the committee.
Judge Cobb spent two hours
telling the members of Congress
how New York deals with traffic
and gave his experience of ten
years on the bench in handling
traffic offenders.

So impressed were the Senators
and Congressman with Judge Cobb's
recommendation that they voted at
the conclusion Of the meeting to
have him take Chairman Balls

Doctor John A. Harris, the other
New York traffic expert who was
invited to appear before the joint
committee, was present at the hear

Judge Cobb told the COMMITTEES
that he had carefully gone over the

too general and in other ways too
much detailed.
He was in accord, however, with
most OF It's provisions, including the
decision OF the joint committee to
increase the number sof police court
Judges rather than establish a sep

CHAPTER 1.
WORLD SERIES.

4NS AG33UU 4SGSSB@4s
To tell the truth, / was the
biggest rube that ever broke
into baseball.
That might seem hard to be-
lieve, to people who read all
the overgenerous things the
writer's said about me at the
last world series. But IL my
word ism enough, such old
timers as Joe Cantillonl can
recollect plenty Of evidence to
prove what I say is right.
l want to introduce Joe
Cantillon early in my story
because he was a mighty i'm
portant and helpful fellow
early in my baseball life. OF
course, what Joe remembers
is principally about my first
years at Washington when he
was manager, and up to the
time he turned the manage
ment over to Jimmy McAleer
at the end of 1909.
But here's a little piece OF
news for Joe, as well as many
other friends who have fol-
lowed me all these seasons
might have been a rube the
first day | landed in Wash
ington In 1907, but | never
felt more mixed-up than the
last day I left there in 1924,
the night we won the final
game from the Giants. Eighteen
years might seem a long time
for the smell of alfalfa to stick
TO a ballplayer's clothes, but
anyone who has waited that
long for the chance and then
got it with all the fancy
trimmings they gave me, will
understand just how l felt.
Respect For McGraw.
There was no stage fright.
There was no fear on account Of
the strong Giant batters, all ex-
perienced as world series players
but young and aggressive and
determined to win. Why should
there be fear to a pitcher who
year after year had faced such
great hitters as Lajoie, Baker,
Collins, Cobb, Speaker, Sisler,
Heilmann and Ruth? And as for
John McGraw, the brainy man.
ager of the Giants who came to
Washington with ten pennants
already to his credit, there was
for my part, the greatest respect
and admiration for his record and
his leadership. And a complete
understanding of his control over
his players, even when they are
in the batting box. But no fear.
The minute / got out there in
the pitchers box l was as cool as
/ am right here in this little town
of Reno. where / am writing. The
Giants looked like any other good
ball club. The crowd, for the
most part, was the same old crowd
that has packed the park to see
US fight the Yankees and other
clubs before. Everything seemed
perfectly normal and natural to
me, once l was ready for business
