Railway Theater Parties

New Yorks utra-rch have fad-the railway

The fad almost became frenzy in March; exactly 50

PEOPLE WIN OPENING
BATTLE FOR MILLIONS
FEDERAL JUDGE TAYLOR DECIDES IN FAVOR OF
THE CITY OF CLEVELAND IN A STREET RAIL
WAY FRANCHISE FIGHT

CLEVELAND, O., April 28.-A not
able incident in the almost national
question of municipal franchises has
just electrified the people of this city.
The opening battle of fight with
the Cleveland Electric Railway COM
pany for possession of street fran
chises worth many millions has been
won by the city. Judge Robert w.
Tayler. in the United States district
company in Central avenue, one of it's
chief branches, have expired.
The company owns all the street
railway lines in Cleveland and
charges a 5 cent fare. 1t was con-
tended by the city that the Central
avenue franchise expired March 22 of
this year. and a grant for the opera
ton of cars thereon, with Scent fare,
was awarded to new company.
The Cleveland Electric secured
from Judge Tayler a temporary re-
straining order preventing it's COM
petitor from entering upon the street.
Then a request was made for a tenn
porary injunction and in the argu-
ments on a motion for an injunction,
the Cleveland Electric contended:
First-that by virtue Of franchises
given for extensions of the Central
avenue line the grant for the entire
line had been continued to 1913.
Second--That the original fran
chises for the line had been given to
the company by the legislature; that
it was in perpetuity and could not
be abridged by the city council.
This claim of perpetual franchises
had never before been made and
came as a startling surprise to the
people. They had believed that i'm
portant franchises of the company
had expired, or were about to expire,
and they looked forward confidently.

Johnson to a readjustment on the

PARTITION OF CHINA

MEDFORD, Mass. Rpril 2S-The
annual intercollegiate debate between
representatives of Tufts College and
the University of New York takes
place this evening in Goddard Chapel
and promises to be the event of the
college year. The question of debate
is embraced in the following propo.
sition: Granted that a reasonably
equal partition of China among the
great powers can be peacefully ac-
complished. Resolved, that such a
partition of China would be more ad-
vantageous to the world than the
preservation of it's national and ter
ritorial integrity"

Spokane won the second game of
the opening series yesterday in the
last inning, when the Indians got
onto the saliva pasted ball of Mr..
Thomas and pounded out four runs
in bewildering succession. Up to that
inning the score was to ] for
Charley Reilly's Saints and it didn't
look bit good for the scalpers.
But that hair-raising finish was of
the order which repays the fans for
all the agonies suffered during the
the home braves are being chased
around the lot.
1t was a star finish and one which
shows the mettle of Pa Stanley's
young bucks
McInness pitched a splendid game
with the exception of the second in
ming, when the Elders got him going
some and scratched out five hits on
the youngster-after which he settled
down and was good.
o Q .
The last and winning run was
brought in by Pa Stanley himself,
who swatted out strong one to
center field, bringing in Egan from
third.
Tozier, Raymond and Martinke
made three base hits and Egan made
a double. Thomas struck out nine
men and McInnes famed four.

Owing to the fear that there will

When She Does Her Own Work She Earns It and She
Ought to Have lit is Question of Justice,
Noe Generosity.
BY Cy1thia Grey,

If a wife does her own Homework
thus saving the expense of hired la
Dor, her husband should place her on
salary.
AS the matter stands in most fam
lilies, the wife works for her board
and clothes.
How long would a man work for
company that gave him in payment
merely board, shelter and clothing?
What girl will take charge of a
kitchen, do the cooking and the
washing and ironing for board and
clothes?
Compare the wife's services with
the services of the Office stenograph-
err. How long would the stenographeI
work for board and clothes?
The monotony of housework is sup
pposed to be the cause of many fam
lily troubles. What work would not
be monotonous that brought as a re-
turn nothing but board and clothes?
No matter how interested a man
may be in his work. he will not at
tempt to deny that his interest will
increase with each increase of salary.
No matter how much pleasure is
found in the chosen work or profess
sion, no man would attempt to deny
the fact that the interest will cease
with the cessation of salary.
Who can wonder that a woman's
work grows monotonous when she
has absolutely no cash return, and
often not even kind word of appre-
-,
Simply board and clothes fall to her
share.
Is it any wonder that wives grow
weary of helping save money (Which
is, as everyone knows, equivalent to
earning the same amount which goes
to line the husbands pocket with
clinking silver? Perhaps she has
visions of her share of the money
going to deck out the charms of a
second wife.
A man hates to ask for every cent
he spends. So does a woman. She
likes the sight of money earned, she
likes to know it Is her own. she likes
to spend it without giving account
for 1t.
Now the man who puts his wife on
a salary pays for services rendered.
He need not pat himself on the head
for his generosity. There is no gen.
erosity about 1t. 1t is a return for
labor done. The salary is hers.
"She has everything heart can
WISH" man says and he believes it.
But she hasn't. She hasn't the one
thing that she most needs to make
her happy. She has not the independ-
ence of action that comes from own
ership. She has not the right to
spend what she has earned. So let
no misguided husband go on thinking
that any woman is wholly satisfied
with board and clothes. Would he be
content? Then no morer will she be
happy.
When the wife who keeps her own
house is on a salary many of the
discomforts which al Use from i'll kept
and improperly managed households
will be avoided. Many Disseminated
wives will be made happy and many
husbands will find smiles where be-
fore they have met but melancholy.

1.-THE athletic club will take no part,
officially, in the coming city election"
said one of the directors today. But
l can tell you this-the members do
not take the word of Acuff's managers
that he will not interfere with ath-
letic exhibitions. Acuffs penchant
| for straddling is too much for us
and the individual vote of the club
| is going to Floyd Daggett with the
certain knowledge that there will be
| no interference on Mr. Daggett's part
with clean. open sports of any kind.
1.-The Acuff people have been play
| ing all sorts of schemes to get the
club directors committed to his I'M
certain rule, but they have been turn
| ed down with chunks of ice tied to
| their tails. All of the members I'M
! derstand that the future welfare of

certain defeat of w. II. Acuff-and
the boys are going to vote to protect
| their amusements."

basis Of a 3-cent fare.
Judge Tayler set aside all the
claims of the company and decided
for the people. He held that extern
sions had not extended the life of the
main line and that when the company,
in 1890, accepted a grant for %
years, that was a new and binding
contract between the company and
the city. 1t abrogated by consent of
both parties any prior contract, if
such there was. The motion for an
injunction was denied.
An appeal was taken by the COM
pany and it will retain possession
until the United States supreme court
passes on the question.
Several of the company's most i'm
portant franchises will expire with
in the next two or three years.
