Week in October

New York, Dee. IA. up The chief
business of the annual meeting OF
the National League today was the
drafting OF the schedule for next sea
son.
The league, already pledged to a
longer season, appeared certain to de
eide to name the first week in Octo-
Der rs the closing date in 1927 The
season ended the last week in Sep
tember this year Commissioner
Lands favors the prolongation since
the short season failed to bring
about an earlier date for the world
series. Only one club completed the
schedule OH time.
Some magnates favored asking
Commissioner Lands to increase the
usefulness Of the advisory council
Of the major leagues, which has func-
toned but rarely in the last few
years.
The practice Of clubs maintaining
farms in minor leagues. despite the
draft system, designed to give each
team an equal chance at youthful
material. possibly was another matter
for the leagues attention. Barney
Dreyfuss, Pittsburgh owner, has de-
clared the arrangement "hypocriti-
cal" complaining that one team alone
controlled six minor league clubs.
The meeting is a two-day affair.
Tomorrow the magnatcs will leave for
Chicago to attend n joint meeting

HMANrRAPP


ONE Of the few and far-between
good little photoplays was shown
in Chicago last week at one Of the
many and ever-multiplyfng big, bad
movie" houses. AS a girl behind me
in the audience remarked, in a per-
picked voice; well, that was a Pc
culiar picture" And so 1t was, "Man-
trap" peculiar because it really had
some good points.
The plot Of "Mantrap' was taken
from serial story by Sinclair Lewis
that recently ran In Golfers maya
zine. There was evidently little sig
niflcance about the story, except its
author and its undercurrent OF vague
discomfort. If the discomfort had been
less vague" I am sure that Golfers
wouldn't have used It. And there was
less significance about the picture be-
cause the director couldn't refrain
from q little improvement" on the
author. Nonetheless, enough Of Lewis
realism and humor remained to make
the Aim diverting, especially with
Ernest Terrence playing the chief
part. One can't help but chuckle at
him in almost any role.
How a city working girl gets tired
of city men and let's herself get mar
ried to a Canadian trader and borne
away to the backwoods, and how city
men get equally tired Of being city
men and also let themselves get borne
away (not at the price of marriage,
tho), and then how city girl and city
man meet in the backwoods and de-
eide to beat it back to the city. This
is the gist of the story, if you don't
take into consideration the backwoods-
man. But as he is the one who makes
the plots wheels go round, and the
hero" to boot, he eventually gets
nearly everything that is coming to
him, according to movie standards.
Our hero pursues the fleeing pair,
not so much to recapture the girl, he
says, as to warn the city man against
her flirtatiousness, which the latter,
unfortunately, has already discovered

for himself. Love for the girl is still
in the back of both their minds, how
ever, and they argue how best to dis
pose of her ''for her own good" But
she, having learned to make her own
way in the world, asserts her right to
decide things for herself and dashes
back to the city alone. The city man
likewise betakes himself to his own
city, reconciled to its short skirts and
divorce suits. And the backwoodsman
tries to console himself in his loneli-
ness with memories.

defenseless against the horde of con-
tractors who had bribed officials to
accept decayed ships and defective
armor, worthless arms and shoddy
clothing, fiimsy tents, blankets and
shoes, and haversacks which came to
pieces, adulterated food and similar
equipment and supplies. AS for GRIM
inal action, not single one OF these
defrauders went to prison, or stood
any danger of it; the courts thruout
the land were perennially busy rush
ing on petty defrauders to imprison-
ment and employing the full punitive
power of their machinery against poor,
uninfuential offenders.
This was the real beginning of J.
Pierpont Morgan's BUSINESS career:
the facts are there immovable and I'M
assailable in the public records. This

the men of position and property.
They restricted their exuberant pa
;riotism to talk and the waving Of
bunting, but took great care to keep
away from the zone of personal dan
ger. The rich, for whose interests the
northern armies were at basis fighting,
not only as a class evaded enlistment,
but proceeded to demoralize, spread
disability and sow death among their
own armies. While doing this, and at
the same time swindling the govern
ment, states and cities out of vast
sums in army contracts, they caused
the draft act to be so amended that it
gave men of property the easy oppor-
tunity of escaping CONSUMPTION by per-
hitting them to hire substitutes.
Morgan's First Stroke of Business.
]. Pierpont Morgan's first ascertain
able business transaction, was in one
of these army contracts; and while it
was not on so large scale as those
of older capitalists, it was Judged by
prevailing capitalist standards) a very
able stroke for young man of twenty
four. Its success gave promise of
much greater things to come, in which
respect Morgan's admirers were not
disappointed. 4
In 1857 the army inspecting officers
condemned large number of Halls
carbines as thoroly ilnserviceable. and
as of obsolete and dangerous pattern.
The government thereupon auctioned
off quantities of them from time to
time at prices ranging from between
81 and So each. Five thousand of
them, however, still remained in the
army arsenal in New York City and
were there when the civil war broke
out.
On May %, 1861, one Arthur M
Eastman, of Manchester, New Hamp-
shire, made an offer to the govern
ment to buy these rifles at SO each.
Knowing the great frauds going on in
the furnishing of army supplies, the
government officials might we'll have
been suspicious of this offer, but ap-
parently did not question its good
faith. The rifles were sold to East
man at $3.50 each. But either East
man lacked the money for payment,
or had been thrust forward to act as
a dummy for a principal in the back
ground. One Simon Stevens then
stepped on the scene, agreeing to back
Eastman to the extent of $4,000,
which sum was to be applied for pay
ment for the rifles; as collateral Sc
curity Stevens took lien upon the
rifles. But from whom did Stevens
get the funds. The official and legal
records show that it was from ]. Pier
pont Morgan. yet
Courts Make the Government Pay.
Did Morgan and his associates get
their full demands from the govern
ment? They did. Judge Peck held
that when Fremont had agreed to buy
tract which bound the government,
and that a contract was a contract.
The court took no cognizance of the
fact that the worthless, condemned
rifles had been represented as new,
nor did 1t consider the fact that the
money with which they had been
bought from the government was vir-
tually government money. 1t gave
Stevens a judgment against the gov
eminent for $5S,175.
1t was this particular decision which
assured the open sesame for the hold
ers OF what were then cynically called
"deadhorse claims" to collect the full
amount of their swindling operations.
The government could now plead itself
