i HART URGES BASEBALL PROBE Defines Meaning of Recent Alleged California Interview About “Trust” —More Like Partnership. James A. Hart, former owner of the Chicago National league baseball club returned to Chicago the other day after a five months’ tour of the world and immediately upon his arival gave an explanation of the California inter- view, in which he was quoted as wel- coming & congressional investigation | of the so-called “baseball trust.” In explaining the interview Hart de- clared he would welcome such inves James A, Hart. tigation for the same reason any per. son wrongfully accused of a misde- meanor should welcome an investiga- tion which would be sure to establish his innocence. He declared there nev- er had been such a thing as a base- ball “trust” and said that the honesty of the men behind the sport was the only thing which had kept it on so high a plane. Instead of being a trust, he declared NEVER FIGHT WITH BURGLAR Upset a Chair and Frighten Him Away —That Is the Advice of a City Policeman. “Don’t ever ‘hunt’ & burglar. Make 8 noise and frighten him away. Upset & chair or slam a door. “Almost all burglars carry revolv- ers of the finest kind. A ‘pete man’ or safe blower, the most dangerous kind of criminal, usually carries an automatic revolver, as it gives the quickest action. “Every householder should have a weapon in the house, but he should Dever use it unless to save his life. “It is the inexperienced man whose use of the revolver makes it danger- ous. “A professional or expert burglar will never shoot unless to avoid cap- ture. A safe blower will shoot at a policeman or any intruder, as for them capture means a long term in prison.” Special Officer Edward Bfophy, an expert, made these statements, says the Pittsburgh Post. It is onmly on the very rarest occasions that he can be induced to talk about himself, but It is a fact that he is & crack shot with a pistol. He has made a study of weapons, and has a collection of them * at his home ranging from little “baby hammerless” revolvers to huge Win- chester rifles, a shot from which will move a heavy safe. He has always been interested in guns, and has ta- ken special pains to learn about the guns burglars and other cflminals carry. School Land Ship. One of the features of their publie gchool training which the boys of Ber- lin, Germany, enjoy most is the “land phip,” on which young sailors go through a.regular daily training. The Itis is the name of the land ship which has been built and which has a crew of 120 boys. The larger boys act; s officers. When they are at work on the land ship the boys dress in mid- dy blouses and caps. There is gun practice on the land ship every day, &nd a naval drill, and all the usual work of a ship is done by the boys. They have the greatest fun in climb- Ing the spars and hoisting the sails, and life on the Iitis is so popular that there are always more applicants for the crew than there are places to be flled. Value of Good Manners. The woman who amounts to any- thing these days must have good man- mers. There are exceptions, but the woman who would make friends for herself or business for her firm will have a lot easier time and be more puccessful if she has acquired personal charm. An unfortunate manner neu- tralizes the good a woman does, The capable woman need not grow slack In her work because she leads, not drives; because she is soft of voice, puave of tongue, kindly of heart, and gracious to all. The reason most of the women are otherwise than suave Is that the turmoil of life gets the up- per hand.- They let thelr nerves go prnd good breeding follows. Honor Utterer of Epigrams, The Japanese are great admirers of Pppigrams and apt phrases. Thelr love baseball was more like a partnership. Owners of rival clubs, he stated, in- stead of being opponents, were in real- ity business partners, sharing gate ve- ceipts, combining to defray expens¢s and having identically the same in- terests at heart. In regard to the statement that pre- sent day club owners were “money mad” Hart declared he had reference solely to the high prices paid for in- dividual players and to the number of men under contract to various clubs. High purchase prices, he declared, were bad for baseball in that they gave the wealthier and more prosperous | clubs an undue advantage over small- | er ones in the same league. Lincoln, league, has signed L. E. Ehrgott as manager. He was a.catcher with Bat- tle Creek in the Southern Michigan league for a time last year. in the Illinois-Missouri Seven of the eight International league pilots will direct their baseball teams from the coaching lines this season. George Stallings, the Buffalo steersman, will be the only manager who will handle the lines from the bench. Ernie Johnson, the Chicago broker, who played awhile with Dubuque last geason, but was not a regular because he could not leave his business in Chi- cago, has agreed to stick to the game this year and Dubuque fans are de- lighted. ‘Willlam Hanrahan, son of the fa- mous “Red” Hanrahan, who played shortstop for the Chicago White Stockings, has been signed to play with the York Tri-State baseball team. He is a pitcher who weighs 175 pounds. Catcher John Massing has been made manager of the Danville team of the I-I-I. league, succeeding Jack McCarthy. President Boyle says the appointment was made at the behest of the players and in the interest of harmony. of such things is carried so far tiat when a guest says something unusual- ly brilliant the host or hostess will beg him to write down his remark in large ornamental script. The sentence is then mounted and hung on the wall as a permanent addition to its orna- ments, much as we might hang up 3 text or motto. Natwrally tBe authar af a bon mot treated in this way feels himself highly honored to be thus placed on record. But the sentences gre selected more for their wisdom than their humor; so that the funny man is not much in evidence. King George Owns Sandringham. The statement is again being pub- lished that Sandringham is the abso- lute property of Queen Alexandra. As a matter of fact in the will of the late King Edward the whole estate was left solely to King George, his late majesty merely stipulating that the queen mother should have the en- tire use of it during her lifetime and adding a wish that in the future the place might become the dower house of the queen consort. King George is, however, in no way bound by this, and is at liberty when the proper time arrives to dispose of it in any manner that seems best to him. In the mean- time he has entire charge of the es- tate, pays all the outgoings and re- celves the income. Newspaper Has Record for Size. The largest newspaper in the world, was the Illuminated Quadruple Con- ptellation, which appeared in . Ne York on Independence day, 1858. I dimensions equaled that of a bll.lhra table—eight feet long by six fe wide; and, strange to say for an Amer- dcan publication, it had no advertise- ments. A copy of this mammoth new iworld production can be seen at the Newspaper Museum of Alx-la-Chapelle, France. Its price was fifty cents. Obliging Eagle.

DESTRUCTION NOTICED ON BARK ‘Within the past ten years a large percentage of the hickory trees have died in various sections throughout the northern tler of states and south- ward through the Atlantic states, and to a greater or less extent within the entire range of natural growth of the various species. While there are several and some- times complicated causes of the death of the trees, investigations by experts of the buredu of entomology, U. 8. department of agriculture, have re- vealed the fact that the hickory bark- beetle is by far the most destructive insect enemy and is therefore, in the majority of cases, the primary. cause of the dying of the trees. The first evidence of the presence and work of the beetle is the pre- mature dying or falling of a few of the leaves in July and August, caused by the adult or parent beetles feeding on the bark at -the base of the leat stem, but this work alone does not kill the trees. The next evidence of its destructive work i8 the dying of part of a tree or all of one or more trees. If the trees are dying from the attack of the beetle an examination of the inner bark and surface of the wood on the main trunks will reveal curious centipede- like burrows in the bark and grooved on the surface of the wood. These are galleries and burrows of the parent beetles and of their broods of young grubs or larvae. The girdling effect of these galleries is the real cause of the death of the trees. The broods of the beetle pass the winter in the bark of the trees that die during the preceding summer and fall. During the warm days of March and April these overwintered broods complete their development to the adult winged form, which during May and June emerge through small round holes in the bark and fly to the living trees. They then attack the twigs to feed on the base of the leaves and tender bark and concentrate in the bark of the trunks and large branches of some of the living healthy trees and bore through the bark to excavate their short vertical egg galleries. The eggs are deposited along the sides of these galleries and the larvae hatch- ing from them excavate the radiating food burrows which serve to girdle the tree or branch.
