Railway men of all classes are watching
with much interest the tests of the 1920
series" of engines of the Rock Island road,
the largest running out of Chicago in pas
senger service. Engine No. 1201 was given
last week. The patrons of the Rock Islands
first excursion to Colorado occupied four
teen of the largest and heaviest coaches.
This was enough for two trains TO be
considering the speed required. The big
engine did all that was expected of Ii and
more. Between Chicago and Rock Island
Ii pulled the train of fourteen coaches with
ease on schedule time, and when called
on for a little extra effort developed a
speed of over seventy-two miles an hour.

WON BY ADVANCE GUARD
MILE AND oNE-sIxTEENTH HAxDI-
CAP AT WASHINGTON PARK
Sam Phillips Wa Beate by
Nose-Other Races.

CHICAGO. June 27.-The attraction at
Washington Park to-day was the meeting
between Advance Guard and Sam Phillips
in a handicap at a mile and a sixteenth. II
was claimed the heavy track beat both of
these colts in the Derby. To-day the track
was fast and the youngsters had a battle.
Brulare made the pace TO the stretch. then
Sam Phillips went TO the front and looked
like a sure winner at the eighth post. but
vitatoe brought Advance Guard Up next
to the rail. and although Burns made the
hole just as small as he dared Advance
Guard squeezed through and in a terrific
drive won by a head. The race appears to
indicate that the colts are about evenly
matched up TO a mile and a sixteenth, but
that Advance Guard is the better at q
farther distance. Trainer Walker, how
ever, thinks Sam Phillips does not Ike the
Washington Park track. Outsiders had A
good show to-day. The first three horses In
the fourth race were long shots. Sum.

BUFFALO, June 27.-Both the Buffalo and
Indianapolis clubs are making records here,
the former for consecutive contests won
and the latter for defeats. The home team
won again to-day by a score of s to 3, but
1t was one OF those struggles in which the
winner could not be picked until the very
last man had been put out. The visitors
are in a very badly crippled condition. but
their case was aggravated when Magoon
was put out of the game at the very outset.
and which deprived them of a valuable
player, pecessitating Dammann going into
right and Flynn doing Magoon's work at
second. Even in this demoralized shifting
the visitors gave the Buffalos all they could
do to win. Amole pitched the better game
Notwithstanding the fact that he was the
more liberal in the matter of bases on balls.
Barnes was very steady. allowing no one
to walk. but where the hits off Amole were
all for singles those off Barnes contained
four doubles and a triple.
Hogriever covered left and struck out the
first time UP. Madison went out at first.
Magoon drew a base on balls. Gray hit a
sharp one to Andrews, which the latter let
go by. Magoon reaching third on the error.
A double steal was tried, but Magoon was
nipped at the plate. 1t was over this de-
cision that Magoon fought and was finally
benched and the shift on the Indianapolis
team took place. For six straight innings
the visitors were blanked, but not without
a good fight. and on several occasions it
looked as if runs would surely come to
their credit. The seventh saw two runs
scored and the Buffalos tied. Hogriever
a fly out of the reach of Shearon. Madison
and Dammann flew out, but Gray's hit to
right placed Hogriever on third. A double
steal was again tried with better results,
for Anterior made a bad return Of the ball
and both runners were safe on the play.
Heydon next hit the ball down TO Atherton,
who obligingly allowed 1t to pass on to
center, while Gray scored. Powers put the
side out by fouling to Andrews.
Buffalo had made three in it's half of the
seventh and was leading by that number
when Indianapolis opened the eighth. Flynn
sent a bad bounder to Carey which the
latter could not handle In time to put the
batter out. Hickey hit to Andrews and the
latter tried to cut off Flynn at second, but
Atherton failed to cover the bag and both
were safe. Barnes's hit resulted in a
double o-ut-himself and Hickey. Hog
riever's hit was too warm for Andrews and
he made a mess of 1t, while Flynn scored.
Madison singled, but Dammann struck out.
This was the last run made.
Manager Shannon is on the sick list, due,
IL is said, to the playing Of the Buffalos.
Tomorrow Indianapolis will face Buffalo's
new twirler, who was secured from Scran-
ton, Of the now dead Atlantic League. and
who won his first game for Buffalo against
Cleveland here on Sunday last. Score:

Rate Cutting Must Cease.

While the new presidents agreement Is
not to become binding upon the roads until
July /. most of the lines have notified their
representatives that rate cutting must
cease at once. II think you will see firmer
rates after July 1 than you ever saw be-
FORE" said an Official who Is familiar with
all the details of the arrangement entered
into by the roads, and this mans memoir
extends through and back of the days of
the old Southwestern pool. The average
railroad man. as we'll as the shipper. must
pause to reflect before he can realize what
this means, and yet 1t was said in all sim
certify and the statement was inspired by
foresight rather than prophecy. There
are many freight men who will not believe
it, They argue that history repeats itself.
and the history OF agreements since the
enactment of the interstate-commerce law
does not tend to inspire confidence. but
maybe IL is the history of a period previous
TO that date that is to be repeated this
time. A few weeks will demonstrate the
stability of the agreement.

EARNINGS OF RAILWAYS
BIG FOUR PASSENGER AND FREIGHT
RECEIPTS STILL INCREASING.
Roads Notifying Hfgher Representa-
tfves that Rate Cutting Must Cease
General and Personal Notes.

The Big Four lines proper earned in the
third week of June Sss. 1880. an increase
over the corresponding period of 1899 of
so. 7D7.5S- In the first three weeks in June
the same lines earned $500, 1857. 42, an increase
over the corresponding three weeks of 1899
of s52.s05.56. One of the remarkable fea-
lures of this months business is the large
increase in passenge rearnings.
The Peoria & Eastern earned in the third
week of June s45. IL. q. an increase over the
corresponding week of 1899 OF S.39s.7s. In
the first three weeks the p. G. z. earned
s1ss. 1885,. an increase over the correspond
ing period of last year of sl5.525.66. This
road. as well as the Big Four. shows in
creased passenger earnings the third week,
the increase being s.. 231.4 40 over the corre-
spending week Of 1899. The increase in
earnings of the Big Four is attracting the
attention OF financial papers. The large
increase in revenues reported for the pres
ent year, following upon the somewhat un-
certain returns in the previous fiscal year,
may be taken as indicating that the rate
condition has been materially improved.
For the ten months TO April 30 the gross
earnings show an increase of $,Sls. 4s0. or 10
per cent; operating expenses. an expan-
sion of $972, III, or IL per cent, while the net
earnings gained sS44. S0S. or nearly rs per
cent. The gains in revenue since Dec. 81
have been relatively much larger than in
the previous six months. The average
monthly increase in gross income I'm the
half year TO Dec. 81 was s14S, 900. while in
the succeeding four months the average
was $230.00. This raises the question as
TO whether the present stability OF rates
can be depended upon to continue when
traffic eases off a little. The Big Four,
fortunately, is not dependent on any one
class of tonnage and its traffic IL of a na-
ture which is not subject to sudden COZ
lapse. yet its traffic is largely highly COM
petitive. Ii is worthy of note that the in
creased earnings are in a large measure
from passenger traffic, which for a few
months past on these lines has been heavy
beyond precedent.

SUIT TO TEST LAW.
An Action Involving the Election of
Trustees and Assessors.

A friendly suit was brought in the Circuit
Court yesterday to test the validity of the
law governing the election of trustees and
assessors. The suit was brought by James
Larned against George B. Elliott, county
clerk. and was In the nature of an injunc-
ton to prevent him from placing the names
of Michael Jefferson, candidate for town.
ship assessor. and Pierson Mendenhail, cam
didate for trustees, both Republicans, on
the county ballot. Charles f. Coffin, chair
man. and Oran Muir, secretary of the con-
%vention, were named as codefendants.
The litigation is over the numerous
changes in the law in regard TO the time OF
electing assessors and trustees and the
time of taking their places. The law OF
1883 provides that the election shall be held
in April. the law of 1898 changed the time
to November, the incumbents TO hold over.
The act of 1897 specifies that the elections
shall be held with those of the county.
Deputy Attorney General Merrill Moores
Immediately FLED a demurrer. which was
sustained by Judge Allen, and the case was
at once appealed to the Supreme Court.
This was done to get an early decision.

EJECTMENT OF A TENANT
STORY OF AN ATTORNEY WHO WAS
CALLED TO HAUGHvILLE.
of the Action of q Con-
stable-The Day in the
COurts.

Attorney Reinhold was called to Haugh-
willie last night by the neighbors of James
Smoot. TO investigate an ejectment pro-
ceeding that resulted in Shoots furniture
being set out of the house yesterday. The
attorneys attention was first called to the
case by telephone yesterday. by one OF
Shoots neighbors. and Reinho asked
him to come in and bring the elected ten
ant along. Shoots story was that Con-
stable John Shaw, of Justice Martins
court. summoned him to appear before the
justice June 10 to answer to a complaint for
$35 and the possession of the house in which
he lived. On the 10Th. he says, he went to
the Justices office and found that judgment
had already been entered the day before.
Yesterday he says the constable came to
his house and set the furniture out while
his wife was sick in bed. He asserts hat
no writ was read, but that the constable
merely said he had the papers. The woman
was left in the empty house in the bed and
ii is alleged that the front door of the
house was locked, but through the inter-
vention of n%eighbors the constable left the
back door open When the story was told
Mr.. Reinhold instructed Smoot to return
and replace the furniture.
Last night, when the attorney reached
the place he proceeded to Justice Martins
court. lHtTt, he says, the justice ItluStu
to let him see the record or give him any
Information about the case. He could not
find the constable who executed the writ
and then went 10 the home of Smoot. He
found Mrs. Smoot in bed with an eighteen
months old baby by her side and a crippled
boy sitting in one corner. He says Smoot
has been suffering from rheumatism for
several months and was unable to work.
After taking In the situation he secured a
certificate from DR.. ]. A. Compton. stating
that the woman is not able to be moved.
Then he began investigating the justices
record and found that he qualified April Ia,
1896, and that his term expired April IA,
1900, and was unable to discover any indi-
cation that he had relied any bond or Is
now a legally qualified justice of the peace.
This evidence will be used to test the le-
gality of the courts action and Mr.. Rein
hold says he will file suits for trespass
against the constable and his bondsmen,
as the subpoena describes the residence as
being 1914 North fremont avenue, while
the number is 1912, and the constable had
no right to go upon the premises. The prop
erty is owned by j. p. Cope, a farmer, liv-
ing near Bridgeport. What will be done in
the case cannot be determined until the
books Of the justice are inspected and the
nature of the suit is made known. Attorney
Reinhold says the Shoots are in destitute
circumstances and that their ~neighbors
employed him to look into the matter.
