CAN'T RACE IN JERSEY.

j. B. r. Smith, state commissioner
of motor vehicles, having just learned
of a challenge recently issued by Miss
Annie tombstone, a Newark young
woman, to any other woman autoist
in the state for a silver cup and $50
from Lake Hopatcong to Long Branch
yesterday wrote a letter to the young
woman's father, who agreed to pre-
vide the cup and purse, stating en-
phatically that he would revoke the
young woman's license if the contem-
plated race was run. Mr.. Smith in
his letter, says in part:
"Of curse you must be aware that
the rae suggested is entirely beyond
both the spirit and the letter of our
motor vehicle law. / trust that if
such a race has been contemplated it
was done in the ignorance of the law
and will be abandoned"

Manager Daab tried a new pitcher
in the game against the Cuban X
Giants, at Hoboken ,Flast Sunday, put
ting Dwyer in the box in the place of
Deegan. The experiment was costly,
for Dwyer proved d poor substitute.
He was wild and ineffective, and
gave the Cubans "a precious run,
which spoiled the Hoboken's chances
of victory. Deegann took the slab in
the second inning and pitched good
ball. 'Hl1W i2e' 't1
The Jersey City baseball team will
in all probability play Sunday ball
next season at the West New York
grounds, near Weehawken. 1t is now

Park, even when next season rolls
around.
Harry G. Pulliam, president of the
National League, has issued a bulle-
tin to all club presidents, in which he
calls attention to the fact that GER
tain National League players, whom
he does not name, are participating
in Sunday games with independent
clubs. He says: This is a violation
of the rules laid down by the nation
al commission and cannot be permit
ted. IT it comes to my knowledge
that a player under contract to the
National League violates this rule |
will fine him $50 for each offense.
Should the player participate in such
games with the consent of the club
owner, an additional penalty will be
imposed by a suspension of five days.

Hitting the ball at the right time
and taking advantage of the only
misDlay the Roebllngs made in the
entire game, Doylestown yesterday
trimmed the Roeblings at Doyles-

The fielding of Kelley at second

game. Bennett also did pretty work
around the far corner.
The hitting of Fry and A. Miller
was inspiring. The former figured
in all the runs Doylestown scored.
The game was well played on both
sides and full of interest up to the

MAY HAVE ELLIS
INVESTIGATE RIOT

Columbus, O., March Ex-Governor
Pattison Will probably request AttoTn-
ey General Wade II. Ellis to make an
investigation Of the Springfield riots
later on. Secretary Houck said that
the governor had not considered the
matter but that such action was like
ly. The attorney general expressed
Willingness to act.
Pending in the house at present are
two bills adding to the powers of the
attorney general in such cases. They
permit him to act before any county
grand jury, Independent of the county
prosecutor, and conduct such investi-
cations independent of any local ad.
vice or cooperation.
Singularly enough the Springfield
riots OF two years ago, the investiga-
tion of which resulted fruitlessly, were
the occasion of these measures, and
this riot has happened along just in
time to give impetus to the spirit be-
hind the measures. With the addi-
tional power the bills will bestow tho
attorney general will be in a position
to make the last riot long remember.

new EQUIPMENT
ORDERED FOR THE cANToN-Ak-
RON POWER HOUSE
New Stokers Expected Here Wednes-
day-siens Provided Directing
Passengers to the Proper
Care

Manager j. r. Harrigan of the CA.
tional equipments at the power house,
stated that be received word from a
Dayton firm Monday that the stokers
for battery of boilers were shipped
and would arrive in Canton about
Wednesday. The stokers will supply
two boilers each of 900 horse power.
Providing the stokers give satisfaction
the entire line Of boilers will be equip
ped with them. A contract is also
pending for the purchase of conveyor
which will crush the coal, weigh it and
convey it to the hoppers and remove
and carry away the ashes from the
pit
With the installation of these equip
ments Manager Harrigan will have
wonderfully improved conditions It
was also learned that eight, eight
bench cars for summer use on the city
lines will be provided with new mo-
tors. A number of large fifteen-bencn
open cars used on the lake run are in
good condition.
Among the numerous changes con-
templated by Mr.. Harrigan is the one
enabling passengers to readily distin-
guish at both night and day cars run
ming on the different lines. During
the day a Cleveland avenue car or
a South Market street car carries a.
green disk above the fender. and upon
the disk in prominent letters the line
over which the cars run. At night a
green light, signifies that the car is a
Cleveland avenue or South Market
street car. The same scheme is en-
ployed for the Mahoning and Navarro
lines, only the color is red. The car
coming from the south and going out
West Fifth street is designated by a
white light. The position of the South
street car at once tells the direction
it is going, as does also the east car.
AS every other car on the east line
goes to the depot the direction is told
by Illuminated letters on the front
of the cars.
report was received by News re-
porter that castings were in the foun-
dry for double step on all of the
city cars. Manager Harrigan con-
frmed the report. When the large
interurban cars were put on the lines
a number of years ago they had only
tuted. At present the steps are as
low as they can be without coming
in contact with Instructions.

man ON The BOX
Made Good to Packed House at the
Grand Last Night.

"The Man on the Box" dramatiza-
tion of Harold MacGrath's novel of the
same name, was given its first presen-
tation at the Grand last evening to
packed house. Both the book and
the play have enjoyed marked pros
perity, and while the latter may not
realize the mental pictures of the
characters and the episodes that the
Ireader conceived in his library, it at
least proves an agreeable entertain
ment, and last nights audience well
coined it with spirit of unmstake-
able approval
Henry E. Dixey plays the leading
part, Lieut.. Robert Warburton, and
his able playing and interesting per-
sonality combined to makes the char
acterization a fascinating one. His
work was quiet though forcible. In
fact, he comes as near realizing the
man in the book as any one could, it
seems. Carletta Nillson was delight
full as Elizabeth Annesley, lovely of
face and clever in her art, she made,
in way. as pleasing an impression
as Mr.. Dixey. John Westley as Count
Karloff had the sympathy of the audi
ence against him all the time, but he
conquered it's admiration by his
skill All the other parts were played
with individuality.
After several curtain calls at the
conclusion of the second act, Mr..
Dixey proved to the audience that or
atory is not his forte, although he
told a pleasing little story The set
tings were all excellent.
