EgGRAVERS EASY PREY
FOR COMMISSIONERS
District Men Drive TWirlers
to the Tall Timber.
Barr, Box Artist, Shows Himself to Be
Hitter-Both Sides Pile
Up Errors.

The members OF the District Building
baseball team rendered testimonial OF
their esteem to one Mr.. Clarke, who
twirls for the Bureau OF Engraving and
Printing. at National Ball Park yes
terday afternoon.
The big Three" nine was scheduled
to play a game with the copper plate
artists. but the latter team was not in
the game. The Commissioners had
things their own way.
Hitters Get in Work.
After heavy swatting matinee in
which each of the Commissioners got a
goodly number Of hits. they won out
by the one-sided score Of 20 to s. The
defeat of the certificate makers can be
attributed to several causes.
The principal one was the absence
of Thorpe in the center Of the diamond.
"Shaggie," the old reliable, ran a nail
through his foot and was unable to play.
Clarke. an unknown quantity, was sent
in to pitch. He was unknown until veg
terday. but he is so no longer. The
Commissioners say that he is the easiest
thing in the league.
Barr Can Hit.
Barr. who pitched good game for
the winning aggregation. did some re-
markable hitting. Out Of six times at
the bat. he got four two-bagsers and a
single. The last time he came uD he
hypnotized HUFFMAN and made him
tumble the bail long enough to allow
him to get on the initial hassock.
King played a fast and snappy game

To BUILD TUNNEL FROM
JERSEY CITY TO NEW YORK
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. Will Be
Given the Right t--POWerS of Rapid
Transit Commission Preserved.

4, 20 nullify the plans OF the commission and
| endanger the purpose OF the commission,
not only in providing adequate transporta-
ton facilities for the city. but in seeing
that such facilities should be ultimately
owned by the municipality.
Edward NJ Shepard, on behalf OF the
objectors, said that he would be perfectly
content II the bill was amended as TO
give the rapid transit commission a de-
termining voice In the granting Of transit
franchises.
At the close Of the hearing Mayor Low
said: II think that mucn OF the criticism
of this measure has proceeded from mis-
apprehension. But IL does seem 10 me
that a very important and fundamental
question has been developed by the rapid
transit commission, and that is whether
or not oversight, in the final conduct of
railroad matters in this city, should not
be handed 10 that body. / would like the
rapid transit commission 10 submit 10 me
an alternative to this bill, but as the
time OF the legislative session Is short,
IL should be submitted by tomorrow.
"If that is done / will give the while
question my immediate consideration in
its alternate phases and will try TO give
my decision by Monday. But unless
hear from the commission tomorrow 1
shall have to deal with the question be-
fore me as II IL were without an alter
native"
During the afternoon representatives OF
the interests for and in opposition TO the
bill conferred and as a result the agree
ment upon an amended form of bill al
ready referred TO was reached. IL is un-
derstood that while the bill itself will
not be materially altered the Rapid Tran
sit act will be so amended as 10 empower
the rapid transit commission to pass upon
perpetual franchises for railroads desiring
"A route from a given point outside the
city to a given point within IL.
Such transit projects as the one pro-
posed by the Pennsylvania company will
have TO receive the approval OF the COM
mission before they can be acted upon
by the board OF estimate or by the board
of aldermen. BY this provision there will
be no longer ground for fear on the part
OF the commission that a corrupt alder
manic body might grant franchises with
out securing adequate compensation TO
the city.
These notifications agreed upon to-
night will be forwarded tomorrow 10 the
governor who will on Monday send an
emergency measure TO the legislature and
IT Is anticipated that this will pass both
houses at once.

New York. March 22.-The Pennsyl-
its tunnel railroad from Jersey city to
the proposed terminal at Seventh avenue
and Thirty-fourth street and thence TO
Long Island city. Negotiations were con-
cluded last night whereby the rapid
transit commission and the Rapid Transit
Subway Construction company agreed TO
notifications OF the Kelsey bill. which
will enable the Pennsylvania company TO
construct its road. while at the same time
the prerogative claimed by the rapid
transit commission OF supervising tran
cit In this city will be preserved
All this was decided upon after a hear
ing held by Mayor Low In the City hall
upon the Kelsey bill. which gives the
board OF aldermen the power TO grant
perpetual franchise to companies for tun-
mel railroads extending outside OF the city
without action by the rapid transit COM
mission.
The arguments for and against the bill
were confined TO two distinct contentious.
On behalf OF the Pennsylvania railroad II
was maintained that the only terms upon
which the company would consent 10 ex-
pend the 5O.o0o.0o0 necessary TO bring its
system to New York were that the COM
pany should receive a perpetual FRANCHISE
The rapid transit commission, II was
urged. had not the power under the act
which created IL to give this perpetual
right and therefore the aid OF the legis-
lature had been sought and that in the
bill drawn up the interests OF the city
had been conserved by relegating TO the
board OF estimate and the aldermen the
determining OF various details In connec-
tion with the franchise, such as fixing
the compensation to be paid 10 the city
by the company.
The objections OF the rapid transit COM
mission and OF the Rapid Transit Sub
way Construction company were based
mainly upon the contention that the bill
took from me commission the authority
vested in IL by the legislature TO pass
upon all rapid transit projects for the
city, and gave over that authority 20
the board of aldermen, In direct contra
vention OF the principles of the rapid
transit act.
On tire part of neither of the opposing
bodies was there any objection to the
plans or the Pennsylvania company. The
whole basis of thearugments OF the OPP
ponents OF the measure was that the pro-
posed bill would provide an opportunity

light from the hail above TO the basement
below, last evening.
The occasion was a reception given by
Principal James NJ. Sawin and his assist

that the affair was a great success was
proved by the fact that fully 200 were
present, and these represented people of
all classes and ages. Mothers and fathers
came with their children and formed
whole family circles while many mothers
who could not leave the little ones Mt
home come with the baby In arms. Mr..
Sawin had wisely issued tickets for the
occasion which admitted pupils accom-
panied by parents and as all the pupils
wanted TO come the result was a large
gathering Of parents.
The many rooms of the building were
thrown open and the teachers OF the
school received the parents OF their pu-
pills In their respective rooms. In this
way pleasant acquaintance with the
