THE TIME LOCK,
Delicate Mechanism That PLAYS
Awkward Tricks on Bankers.

From the New York Press.
A few mornings ago one of the officers of
big trust company in the city wound up
the time lock on the vault. A little later
another officer also wound it up again. Both
felt We'll satisfied with themselves for per-
forming an important duty, but when the
man whose business 1t was to see that this
function had been attended to examined
the lock later in the afternoon he discovered
that the vault would be tightly locked for
forty-eight hours as matters then stood. So
instead of closing the door, he notified the
head officer, and consultation was held
to determine what should be done. II they
closed the door they could get no money for
business the next day. 1t was impossible
to alter or change the lock. An expert was
sent for and the whole mechanism had to
be taken out in order to release the lock-
1t is the custom in most banks to fix the
time lock every morning for the ensuing
twenty-four hours, and to examine it be-
fore leaving in the afternoon, to make sure
that it Is right.
]. M Mossman. the expert, says that he
frequently has kilograms from bankers and
other officials declaring that they are locked
out.
..It is so seldom the fault of the time
lock-" he remarked to a Press reporter,
that we have set code for all such cases
which we telegraph in rep,y. We know just
what safes and locks they have, and we
answer accordingly, Draw bolts and jar
door, or whatever we judge will suit the
particular case, always adding, Listen if
you can hear the time lock ticking.
In ninety-nine cases Qua of a hundred
the trouble will be with the bolts or the
combination, or something entirely apart
from the time lock. We clean and keep
time locks so thoroughly in repair that
there is small chance for them to get out of
order. A little dirt may get in and stop
them, but a decided jar will usually start
them again.
IF. as happens once In long time, the
handspring breaks, there is nothing for ii
but to drill through the safes. We had to
do that in British Columbia once where the
severe weather had caused the handspring
to snap. Out west the same thing hap
pc ned few years ago. But barring such
rare accidents, time lock goes on until 1t
runs down, and one has the power to
stop or alter il. That is, except by force
dynamite the like. In all our locks we
have two, three or four movements for
extra precaution, so that If anything hap
pens to one the others keep up the work
But the time lock and the combination lock
work entirely independently of each other.

PRESIDENT DREYFUs HERE.
Has Come to Have the Schedule Re-
NiseI.


President Dreyfus of the Louisville Base
Ball Club is in Washington comforting with
President n. f. Young in regard to the
schedule. He is endeavoring to have the
vote by which the schedule was adopted
reconsidered. and a telegraph or mail vote
taken in order to permit the playing of
Sunday games at Louisville.
President Young said at noon today that
no definite steps had been taken and that
the matter was in statu quo.
Mr.. Dreyfus expressed the hope that a
vote Of the base bail magnates would be
initiated this afternoon. He will remain i'm
Washington until the question is decided
a special from Louisville, Ky saws that
Barney Dreyfus, president of the Louisville
base ball club, left for Washington last
night. He will confer with President Young
regarding the alleged "cold deal'' Louisville
received in the matter of Sunday games
MIR. Dreyfus has telegraphed all of the club
presidents asking them how they stand on
the subject.
Mr.. Dreyfus said before leaving that he
already had the promise of five other clubs
to stick to him. They are New York Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Pittsburg.
He said he was trying to get Baltimore in
line, and if that club comes over there will
be a majOrity-enough to effect a reconsid-
GRAFTON of the schedule.
Mr.. Dreyfus said further that the vote for
a revision of the schedule would be by tele-
graph, and that he would remain in Wash
ington until the Louisville clubs alleged
wrongs are righted.
1t will require a three-fourths vote to re-
wise the schedule and where Mr.. Dreyfus
will secure eight clubs to assist him is a
mystery. Granted that he does receive the
necessary assistance how can he compel
clubs to play in Louisville If they do not
wish to do so? The league constitution
grants them the privilege of playing or not
playing on Sunday. The opposition clubs
can very easily duck the compulsory
proposition by saying Sunday games are
not wanted.

The Revised Schedule

The revised schedule has lifted President
Brush of the Cincinnati club out of quite a
big hole and incidentally robbed the Messrs
Nagners of picking up quite a big roll of
money. The original schedule left April
16. Sunday, in Cincinnati vacant, as the
Pittsburg club, which opens with the Reds
Saturday April 10, will not play Sunday
games this season. Messrs. Brush and
Wagner Immediately made arrangements
to run special train from Philadelphia to
Cincinnati, carrying the Senators between
the two points from Saturday evening until
Monday morning, landing the club back in
the Quaker city in time for the Monday
afternoon game. Sunday games in Cincin-
natl are winners under the most ordinary
circumstances, but being the first Sunday in
the season the game between the Cincin-
natis and Senators could have been depend
ed upon to attract an immense crowd. The
new schedule, which freezes out the Louis
Vile from eleven games. throws the Chi
cagos into Cincinnati April 16 and does
away with the extra expense of a special
train. II will doubtless prove a good thing
for the Washington club. as it can be rest
ing with the Quakers, and the conditions
will be equal when the two teams face eacn
other Monday afternoon, April II.

1t was not a new thing. Dickens, in A Tale

Harry Davis PraiScI.

A base ball enthusiast writes The Star in
behalf of Harry Davis. He says the Wash
ington fans should give Davis trying
out before forming conclusions. Davis was
in bad condition almost all of last season,
first from malaria and then from an in
jured limb. Neither Pittsburg nor Louis
vile released Davis for poor playing; it
was simply a case of being out of condi-
ton. Davis is one of the best fielding first
basemen in the league, and previous to last
season hit over the 800 mark. Reports
from Hampton say Harry is in first-class
condition and batting and fielding excep-
tionally fine. The writer says that Davis
is no worse than the rest of the Senators.
All are untried in the league, speaking col
lectivey, and until it is demonstrated that
the combination is not strong enough CEN
sure should be suspended.
