CLEVELAND LED LEAGUE
Highest Batting and Fielding Percent
age in the American-Sox Poor.

According to the official fielding av-
erages of the American league just
closed, the Cleveland Napoleons were
the best fielders as well as the best
batters in the younger league. Lajoie's
team finished its schedule, despite its
crippled condition during a great part
of the season, with the fine average of
$50. The White Sox got second hon
ors in team fielding, accommodating an
average but three points lower than
that of Cleveland, and was the poorest
team in the league with the bat.

NO POWER TO FIX RATES.
Decision Against Interstate Commerce
Commission Stands.

WASHINGTON. May 2l.-The Supreme
Court to-day stood evenly divided-four to
four-on the question whether the Inter-
state Commerce Commission had the power
To make rates. Justice Holmes, the ninth
member of the court, too no part in tho
case, as he was interested in one Of the rail-
roads party to the suit.
The case arose over the action OF the
general freight agents OF the Lake Shore and
twenty-nine other roads in what In known as
official classification territory, or that
port ion Of the United States east OF Chicago
and north of the Ohio River, in advancing
in the year 1900 the classification Of various
commodities, among them hay in carload
lots, which was raised from sixth to fifth
class. The effect OF the advance was to
raise the rate on hay to what the Interstate
Commerce Commission held was an unjust
and unreasonable one, in violation. OF Sec
ton 3 OF the Interstate Commerce law.
The roads refused to change the rate to
the former basis. and the commission took
he case before Judge Wing Of III United
States Circuit Court for the Northern Dis
trict OF Ohio, which dismissed the bill on
the ground that the commission was with
out power to issue such an order. The
Supreme Court being evenly divided on
the case, the effect is that Judge Wings
action Diminishing the bill Is affirmed.
Another case involving the same roads
and the same question as to the advance
of rates on laundry soaps is on file before
the court. but will not be reached until
next term. In that case, however, the Cir
cult Court for the Southern District Of Ohio
held that the commission did have the power
and ordered the roads to restore the old rate.

GRAFT IN ALBANY.
MIR. Goulden Says to lie a state senator Is
Worth $50 900 to 500 900 a Year.

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-Representative
Goulden, who is the New York representa-
tive Of the Pennsylvania Mutual Life In
surance Company, was a witness before
the House Committee on the Judiciary to-
day and made some sensational statements
concerning legislation in Albany. The oom-
mittee was considering the Ames model
insurance bill.
1T is a well known fact and one gen.
orally conceded" said Mr.. Goulden, "that
to be q State Senator at Albany is worth
anywhere between $50, 900 and 500 900 a
year and that this money comes largely
from the insurance companies which want
legislation or TO defeat legislation. This il
no secret. Every man in New York knows
it. | know II and know it to be IA fact"
Mr.. Goulden said that in 1895 the COM
pany which he represents was coerced into
giving $4,000 TO n campaign committee.
He did not say to which committee the
money had been paid, 1t was tried again
in 1900 and again in 1904, said Mr.. Goul-
den, but the attempt ignobly failed be-
cause of the positive position taken by
one of the directors Of the company. Mr..
Phmpton Of Massachusetts,, who threatened
to hold the directors personally responsible
il any contribution was made TO a campaign
fund from the treasury of the company,

House Passes the Treasury Reserve Bill.

= WASHINGTON, May - An xigency large
ly forced upon the Treasury by the demands
OF the Pacific Coast growing out of the earth
quake and fire of April IS will be relieved by
executive approval Of a Senate bill passed
by the House to-day. Under the law Of
March Ia, 1900, the Treasurer is directed to
keep on hand a gold reserve of at least
$3.50, 900 600, of which $50 ,OOO, 900 must be in
bullion and 500, 900 600 in coin. There is
usually a greater demand for bullion than
for coin, and this was accentuated when the
San Francisco calamity caused a flow of
money TO that centre. The bill passed
to-day changes the totals of coin and bull
lion composing the reserve to $50, 900, 900
and 500 ,000, 900, respectively, thus revers-
ing the present law.
A further provision authorizes the issue
of gold certificates 70 long as the reserve
does not fall below $50. 900, 900, instead Of
Sloo. 100000 as at present.

Another Federal Judge for This District.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Among the bills
passed by the House Of Representatives
to-day was the Senate bill giving an addi-
tional judge to the southern district of New
York, making twelve in all for the second
circuit. Urging the passage Of the bill, Mr..
Alexander OF New York said that notwith-
standing the fact that all the other eleven
judges had been called on to help out the
work in the southern district, the calendar
in the Circuit Court had fallen behind three
years, and -four years were required TO
prosecute a case through the Court OF
Appeals. The situation, he said, was
unique, and that II relief were not granted
not only would the business OF private
suitors be indefinitely delayed, but that Of
the Government would come TO q standstill.

CAUTION SIGNALS
WILL BE USED WHEN TRAINS
GET TOO CLOSE TOGETHER.
No Baby Carriages May BE Carried
i'm Passenger Coaches ON the
Illinois Central.

Several bulletins have been post
ed on the Louisville division of the
|. c. cautioning against possible acci-
dents.
Among the bulletins is one adyis-
ing that section foremen. track
walkers. watchmen at bridges, cross
ings and cuts have been supplied
with danger signals and are instruct
ed TO signal caution order TO all
trains running too close together
Trains are often sent out in several
sections. and often are running too
close to each other. When this is
observed by any track walker
watchman, etc, he displays the
caution signal and in this way the
danger of rear-end collisions Is done
away with.
Another bulletin fixes the speed
limit of the big sol class freight
engines at 40 miles an hour, not to
exceed this speed. These engines
are very big and in order to avoid
possible accidents the speed limit is
fixed. The guaranteed speed Of
these big machines is much greater
than 40 miles an hour.
Another bulletin reminds conduct
ors of the rules regarding baby car
riages and go-carts. Passengers are
not allowed to carry them into the
cars. yet 1t is frequently done. Con-
ductors are prohibited under penalty
of a lay-off to permit passengers to
carry such articles into cars here
after. The road Is doing every
thing possible to preclude mishaps.
