NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Major League baseball schedules, calling fer l54 games and routine alignment of teams. with only minor changes from 1914 playing charts, are now in the hands of the printers. it is learned. M W

WHEN'S A MOTION MOVED! SENATOR'S
 WANT 10 KNOW II

A third chapter was written yes terday to the Alaska Senate's epic, When is a motion a motion, par ticularly when it's a motion to Indefinitely postpone'?" A col laborator was added in the person of Alaska's Attcrney-General, Henry Roden and he has promised still a fourth installment for to- day.
 It was getting well along into the afternoon. Solons were contemplat- ing we'll earned ease and relaxation following a day of legislative en- deavor that had resulted in the Senate's calendar being quite nicely cleared off.
 Then, under the heading of "Other Matters"-up rose Senator Howard Lyng to phrase an appeal for the dignity of his Rules Com mittee.
 Iris not mete, quoth he, that plaints of dissenters to the con- mittee's rulings be "bruited about the streets, the clubs. the saloons of the town
 The Senator had reference to a Rules Committee interpretation handed down Tuesday, which de- clared Out of Order" a motion by Senator N. R. Walker to "Indefi- nitely Postpone" consideration of House Joint Memorial No. 3, on the ground that such motion could net lie until second reading of the measure had been completed in full.
 Thus was the matter re-opened, for an hour and one-haf of dis cussion, debate and rebuttal from which no decision evolved
 The Attorney General was called onto the spot for his interpreta- tion He tended to support the con- tentien of the committee, but ad- mitted that the motion involved had heretofore in Alaska's legisla-
 i've halls been considered "privi-  leged1 in character and thus a handy tcol for disposal of un- wanted bills. At his suggestion, the Senate held the question in abey- ance until today to afford him op- portunity to consult the authori- ties for a precedent direct from Washington, D. C., and the Halls of Congress.
 As final touch to the after noons comedy relief, question rose as to the body's ability. should the committee ruling be sustained, even to adjourn without suspension of the rules, as long as bills were still being continued on the cal- endar.
 By sheer force of the Presidents gavel, the motion to adjourn was put, and squeezed across by a g to ' vote. Adjournment was taken until Il o'clock this forenoon.

 No new bills were offered in the Senate during the afternoon meet ing, but several measures were re- ported back by committees.
 The Finance Committee gave do pass recommendations to House Joint Resolution No ? and Senate Bill No. IA, the latter with sug- gested amendment. The same com mittee said do not pass" with re- gard to Senate Joint Resolution No. 4, Senator Leo w. Rogge not con- curing.

 Two bills on the days calendar which did not receive consideration were: The Housing Authority meas ure, Senate Bill No. 2l, which was continued in second reading,l and Senate Bill No. Is. The latter was sent to the Finance Committee. The bill carries a sl0.000 appropria- ton for the regulation of the prac- tice of heal.-g, and must, perforce, be acted upon by the Finance group, which it somehow missed after being reported back from the Committee on Education, Public Health and Morals.

HONOLULU, T. H, Aug. 9. (UP)
Armed only with logic, Maj
Charlie Erb Of Los Angeles, one of
CALIFORNIA; greatest football play
ers, riSked his life a hundred times
to capture At convinced Japanese
hOldoutS on Tinian island it was
disclosed Thursday.
Charles played Pied Piper to a
collection of HirOhitO'S marOOnCd
fighting men. Assisted by fero-
ciOus-loOking Japanese nick-named
"toughie," he used sound reasoning
and unansWerable arguments to
pluck bedraggled enemies from their
hillside hiGeOutS
Mai Erb's experiences started on
March 18 of this year when three
SOuvenir-hunting Seabees were fired
upon by Japanese. The marines and
army men then surrounded the
mouth of a cave in rugged terrain
and attempted to get them out by
an Interpreter on loudspeaker-
but failed.
Finally, after five days, five cases
Of dynamite were set off near the
mouth OF the cave Next morning 10
shocked and bruised Japanese came
out, led by the most cold-hearted
looking enemy soldier ever taken
prisoner on this island. Erb sent
the others away and took personal
charge Of the leader. whom he nick
named "TOughie."
Il don't know whether I should
tell YOU, but I know where there
are eight more japanese" the pris-
Oncr told Erb. Charlie halted the
questioning right chcrc, took
"Toughic" to his own quarters, gave
him luxury shower and a shave
Then he took him to a doctor for
medical treatment, gave him a bot
tie Of beer and a hearty, hot meal
That turned the trick
The next morning the Japanese
volunteered to go back and tell of
the fine treatment he had received
and TO bring back the others. So
Charlie sent him back unarmed, &C
companied by an interpreter
Soon Toughie reappeared with
eight Japanese whom he had con-
vinced Another try brought five
and all told his efforts resulted in
bringing in 100 prisoners of war.
This procedure went on until AIT
japanese prisoners Of war were
credited to Erb and his mission
aries"
Charley wants it distinctly under
stood that he is no Jap lover" He
just thought it was sensible to cap
turc the men by talking.
