JOHNSON WAS PLEASED

E7ECENTLY I received a letter
TX from B. B. johnson, retired
N president of the American
League, in which he said:
1.-THE four straight victories OF t. e
New York Club pleased me i'm
mensely. It was splendid per-
Torrance and it will have a coed
effect on professional baseball. Nine
out of ten persons seemed to think
that the series would extend over
Sunday, just for the monetary ben
eft. It was good to disabuse their
minds in that particular"
Since the former head Of the
American League has, from the time
he organized it, stressed the honesty
of the game, the clean-cut victory
ofthe Yanks just prior to his res
ignation, was the source Of great
qualification.

1T the New York Yankees in
the world series was a great
thing for baseball.
'For the Yankees to win four
straight games to decide the cham
pionship was worth far more than
the 100000 I returned, because of
the prestige it gives my team and
the good it does the game" was the
remark Colonel RUPERT made at
the close of the series.
Some idea of what a difficult job
1t IS for one team to win four
straight games from a strong OPP
ponent is proved by a glance at the
record of the New York Yankees
during the past season. No club in
the American League from April to
October was able to take four
straight from the Yanks.
When two teams enter into a
world series, it is about a 15-l
shot that neither will win four
straight. AS a matter of fact, 1t
has happened only twice in the
twenty-four that have been
staged.

Dauss out of the running all season
was the biggest handicap we
labored under. With Dauss, one OF
the best relief pitchers in the game,
ready to hold a one or two-run
lead late in the game, Detroit
would have won at least 10 to Is
more contests. That would have
meant second place"
When one considers what an

what a great loss Detroit suffered

G0ODY-G -G00DY BOOKS
 NO LONGER APPEAL
Children Demand Excitement and Refuse to Read Books Ex-
 pounding StufTy Teachings.

Asheville. N. C.. June 17.-R- The days of the "goody-goody' books are gone. No longer are morals" heaped up and fed to the younger generation. Even the best bred children refuse to read the books their mothers choose for them unless this literature Is as alive as the trend of modern life by which even boys and girls in their teens are influenced.
 Plots for children's stories have completly changed in the last few years. All this is the assertion of Ruth Campbell. author of modern stories for little folks. who has made a study of the types of tales boys and girls like and dislike.
 '"The average child wishes to romp happily through the pages of a book and not be dragged by the arms through endless mires of stuffy teachings" she explains.
 ITO write for them is to write for the most severe and gifted of critics. They want their literature straight. They demand plot and excitement. Mischief, one page beyond;' Run away Field, to the right Burning of Schools. next chapter;;' Parents Sent on Holiday, page 10S'-these are the choice Of the children.
 "They demand soap bubbles of thought that colorfully burst into eem-like atoms of interest. When they get it the response is immedi- ate and overwhelming. And when they don't they turn up their noses at the author. who. in their opinion, is thief who has stolen their time."

LAWS ENACTED AS
 CHECKS 0N CRIME
Nineteen States Declare Var on
 Habitud Criminals

New York. June r R>-Measures designed to check crimes have been passed by 1s state legislatures thus ar in 1927. survey revealed.
 Thirteen other states adopted measures, such as those altering the penal codes to make former misdemeanors felonies, which were considered general anti-crime legis- latlon but not specific checks on crime.
 The measures adopted in the g states generally tended toward an increase of sentence, with . tight ming of the legal net about the habitual criminal, the gangster, Sunman and holdup man.
 significant feature of the anti crime legislation vas the tendency to follow New York's pattern in curbing the activities of habitual criminals and the operations of lands of organized criminals. A number of states enacted laws com parable to New York's Baumes act. a piece of anti-crime legislation lassed in 1926. It provides man. jatory life sentence for fourth of- fenders and generally tightens up the criminal code.
 The measures enacted in the s s.ates range from Montana's ban ming of the chewing of mescal nuts hy Mexican laborers. practice Ore gon's new measure making 1t un- lawful to skin dead stock without the owners consent. The last meas lre is a check on cattle rustling. oregon has also one of the 1a states adopting legislation to check crime.
 A nunler of legislatures discussed the carrying and use of fire arms. Many states had already provided themselves with checks against this practice, and several followed suit in 1927. Measures providing for criminal identifications were passed by several legislatures.
 Drastic Action Taken.
 The most drastice action towards curbins crime was taken in Califor- nia, South Dakota. North Dakota. Iowa and New York.
 New York's legislature passed IT of fl anti-crirne bills submitted by the Baumes crime commission. head cd by Senator Caleb H. Baumes. au- thor of the Baumes act. Those fail ing of passage were considered the most important by the Baumes commission. Most of the IT laws enacted are virtually amendments ,o the penal law and code Of crirn- inal procedure One provides that in all cases where appeal may be taken by the defendant. the prose cution also may appeal.
 To~a's legislature passed score of bills designed to make more thorny the path tread by the feet Of criminals. Most of the measures vest greater authority in peace of- ficers and increase the functional capacity of prosecutors. Ike ma- chine gun and automatic rifle were outlawed a criminal Identification measure was adopted and there was q general tightening of laws regard ing automobile thefts and jury com ,aissions.

miners to settle their differences,
which caused the strike in the CEN

Officials of the Illinois Operators
Association denied that a settlement
already had been reached, as as

upon as a similar conference was
left in a deadlock.
Rice Miller, president of the OPP
orators association, admitted his
organization was anxious to reopen
the mines If satisfactory terms could
be obtained. He added, however,
that he could not even hint at what
action the discussion committee
would take.
The miners insist on, renewal of
the Jacksonville wage agreement,
which guarantees a minimum
wage of about $3.50 a day. The
operators insist the minimum ought
to be reduced materially to CORE

Murder Plot Charge Against John

Murder Plot Charge Against John
Baumgardner Dismissed.
By Times Special
COLUMBIA CITY, Ind, Sept. Z.
John Baumgardner is a free man
today, clear of charges of con-
spiracy to murder, as result OF
operation of the legal theory Of
corpus deicti-meaning literally
"the body Of the crime"-and re-
curing in murder case that the
body of a person be found or salts
factory explanation of its absence
be made.
Arrest Of Baumgardner followed
disappearance at Warsaw last Feb
ruary of Franklin Tucker, cigar
store clerk. Although authorities
declared Tucker was a murder vic
tim, they failed after months OF eff
fort to prove that he was dead or
to find any trace Of him.
Vern Martin, another defendant
in the case, will be brought into
Whitley Circuit Court here Thurs
day, and it is probable that charges
against him will also be dismissed
under the same theory used by
Prosecutor G. A. Lincoln in Baum
gardeners case.
