4 ARMY IS DECLARED AGENCY FOR PEACE Bishop Freeman Praises Training Camps at Con- vention of Sojourners. “The Army Is the great constabulary of the Nation, not designed to create riot, but to suppress it,” declared Bishop Freeman fn an address at a banquet of the Sojourners in Ward- man Park Hotel last night. Military, Masonic and. réligious leaders were among the speakers. The banquet followed business sessions held in con- nection with the fifth annual conven- tion of the Sojourners in the hotel yesterday afternoon. ! Bishop Freeman, who is a chaplain with the rank of major in the Officers’ Reserve Corps, spoke strongly in fa vor of the citizens' military training camps, saying that- nothing would contribute more toward the loyal and spirftual citizenship of this coumtry than the training of the youth iIn these camps in discipline and better citizenship. Stand for Patriotism. The membership of the Sojourners s composed of officers or former offl- ers of the military service who are also Masons, and the main object is to uphold those principles of Ameri- canism founded by the forefathers and to.maintain a true spirit of patriot- ism. The principles for which the organization stands were brought out both in the addresses last ni t and in resolutions and addresses yesterday afternoon. Frederic Willlam Wile, the writer, who is a major in the Officers’ Re- serve Corps, declared that ‘‘Economy in national defense is extravagance,” and said that “the best way to main- tain peace is, not through palaver, but preparedness.’ He warned that “‘the national defense act is an un finished building, easily destroyed.’ Other _speakers of the evening in- cluded District Commissioner Col. J Franklin Bell, who delivered an ad. dress ‘o welcome; a reply to Col. Bell by Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, chief of Chemical Warfare Service, presi dent of the Sojourners; Renneck Dun- lap, Assistant Secretary of Agricul- ture; Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune of the United States Marine Corps and Lincoln C. Andrews, Assistant Secre- tary of the Treasury. Have Entertainment Program. An elaborate program of entertain- ment was rendered, including a violin solo By Mabelle Orleman, with Prof. C. 8, Christiani, accompanist; vocal selections by Fred East and William ¥. Raymond, accompanied by George ‘Wilson; special music by the Army Band, W. J. Stannard, director, and the singing of patriotic numbers, in- cluding “The Star Spangled Banner,” by the audience. Among military leaders at the ban- quet were Maj. Gen. K. J. Walker, chief of finance, United States Army; Maj. Gen. John L. Clem, Maj. Gen. George C. Rickards, chief of militia. Roe Fulkerson, grand master of Masons in the District of Columbia, was toastmaster. Capt. John H. Poole, commander of Scottish Rite Masons of the Southern Jurisdiction, and others of outstanding prominence in Masonic circles were also in the gathering. Committees on Banquet. Committees for the tanquet were as follows: General committee—Lieut. Col. H. L. Gilchrist, U. S. A., chairman; Lieut. Col. F. E. Hopkins, U. S. A; Maj. Clifford L. Grant, O. R. C.; Capt. J. H.

A’ resolution was adopted indors- ing July 4 as Defense day and pledging the entire membership of the organization to sacrifice the holi- day if necessary in order properly to support the defense movement and make the day a success. The body also adopted a resolution to appoint a committee to meet to formulate plans for securing ade- quate educational facilities for chil- dren of men in the service. Under the law, it was declared, the children of men in military service are unable to attend public schools, although their parents pay taxes. The commit- tee consists of officers in the military service and they were instructed to meet in the near future to see what can be dome through legislation or otherwise to remedy the condition. TRAFFIC HALTS AS THAW EMERGES FROM CABARET Curious People Pursue Him Through Park and Force Him to Return Indoors. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 11.—Traffic was jammed this morning when Harry K. Thaw, who came back to Broadway last night after a week’'s absence at Winchester, Va., emerged from a cabaret. He spent the evening and early morning there doing nothing much but rseponding to welcomes by Rialto belles and sipping ice water and orangeade. Several hundred curious persons crowded to the doors to see him. He seemed startled and fled to a taxicab. Curious folk pursued him through Central Park, then left him alone when he returned to the cabaret. His bill for the evening, which in- cluded $2 table d’hote dinners for him- self 4nd two male companions, amounted to $35. Of this amount $5 went for a tip to the head waiter, §3 to his table waiter and $1 to the hat checker A bevy of chorus girls amused him during the evening and he was intro- duced to all who took part in a revue. He told one girl she reminded him of Lilllan Russell. Thaw declined to dance, as he said he had not kept up with the modern steps. Even an old fashioned waltz, played for his benefit, failed to shake his” determination not to appear on the floor. He said he was going to stay in New York until he had seen aret. O THEY SAT DOWN BEFORE THE FIRE TO TALK OVER WHAT THREE THINGS THEY WANTED MOST IN ALLTHE WORLD.THEV THOUGHT OF PALACES AND RICHES AND CLOTHES AND NEARLY EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. BASE BALL POOLS REAP $30,000 WEEKLY HERE; SCHEME BREAKS LAW (Continued from First Page.) _ are prizes for high scores and prizes for low scores. There are daily prizes, there are midweek prizes and there are the grand weekly prizes. To the neophyte it seems almost impossible to go through the week without win- ning something. But the law of odds must be reckoned and the clever mathematical juggling or figures con- sidered. Mathematics will show that it is possible to create 8,008 different com- binations of 6 out of 16, representing the number of the two major leagues. Thus, the odds against the player winning the grand $600 prize are 8,008 to 1 Vie for Patronage. There are at least half a dozen of these base ball pools conducted by different promoters at the present time. All apparently are flourishing for the little envelopes are seen almost anywhere. When you see a person studying the sport page of a daily newspaper, pull out a pencil and write down a few figures, it is cer- tain_that he invested 60 cents on the $500 prize with the odds against him 8,008 to 1. The rivalry between the varions promoters, too, is in- tensely keen. A quotation from the literature published by one of them says The Ticket With a Reputa- tion—Ask For It.” It also announces that “owing to the big demand we ad- vise you to place your order with your agent early each week.” “The Pennant Weekly” is the one quoted from. It appears to be the favorite ticket among the base ball pool devotees. Agents for this ticket are in virtually every office bullding and Government department. They only known, however, to the players. The only credentials required to meet Center Market Will Close One O’Clock P.M.

Another popular “ticket” is “The Unicorn.” It is operated on identi- cally the same system as ““The Pen- nant,” and offers the same amount weekly in prizes. Then there is the “Columbia” and several others, all tempting the players with the high cash prizes. Promoters of the base ball pools furnish every new player with a card glving the amount of weekly prizes. The first prize dwhich goes to the holder of the ticket whose six teams score the greatest number of runs during the week, as has been pointed out, amounts to $500. The player with the next highest score recelves $175, the third $90, the fourth §$40 and'the fifth $20. The player whose six teams make the lowest num- ber of runs during the week is entitled to $250, the next lowest $100, the third $70, the fourth $30 and the fifth $15. Then there are a number of daily and midweek prizes, in addition to 80 con- solations worth $1 each. The midweek prizes are tabulated after Wednesday’s games are played; the week prizes at the close of Satur- day’'s games. The prizes, however, are not awarded until Wednesday, due, the promoters say, “to the necessity of strict comparison and verification of forfeited and protested games.” High Weekly Profit. The firs midweek high pays- $60, the second $30, while the first mid- week low 1s worth $30, and the sec- ond midweek low $15. There are a number of other smaller prizes designed to make the game more engrossing. To the player whose six teams collect the largest number of each day goes a daily high prize 0.

Thus, it will be seen that through this system there is distribut- ed among the lucky players, $2,215 each week. How many series of tickets each promoter sells during the week is not known. [Each serles, however, is numbered from 1 to 8,008. Assuming that only one series is sold—sS,008 tickets at 60 cents each—the promoter takes in $4,804 weekly. Out of this must come the prize money, $2,215, plus the agent's commission, which amounts to 10 cents on each ticket, or $800, leaving the promotor with a potential profit of $1,789. Of course, the profit is reduced slightly by printing bills and other in- cidental expenses, but they are minor ones. Besides the tickets, the pro- moter publishes every Monday a bul- letin for each player, giving the cor- rected tabulated scores of the past week, together with the prize-winning numbers and the amounts designated for the fortunate players. It so happened last week that there was a tie for the first prize, with the result that the $500 was split two ways. The winning combination of teams each scored 258 runs. The holder of the tickets whose teams scored 2556 runs took the second prize of $175, which was split three ways last week because of a three-cornered tle.
