out looking as though it were going to be
a goose-egg game. There were no runs in
the first two innings, and then by a series
of accidents Reggie Huidekoper got around
to third and came sprinting in on long
drive by Carlisle. That broke the spell.
Either the pitchers got tired or the bats
men got onto their curves, but anyhow the
runs began to patter in. There was a slight
break in the run of luck when DR.. Glaze
brook, DR.. Mason and DR. Myers went to
the bat. one after the other. Each carved
the air neatly as he would a cadaver and
each trooped solemnly back to his bench,
while the Metropolitans derisively rolled
lemons out onto the diamond.
Somebody threw lemon from up in the
grand stand and hit Murray Cubb in the
middle of the back, causing him to let in
at least one run, and then errors went the
round of the outfield till it would have
taken a Chinese case-counter to keep track
of them.

New Texas Laws Will Cause Heavy
Expenditures.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
AUSTIN. Tex, April Cot Is estimated
that the laws enacted at the recent regu-
lar session of the lSSI lature will require
expenditures of not less than $40 900 600
by Texas railroads. 1t is stated that the
fourteen-hour bill will. as applied to train
crews, neccssitate the establishment of
terminals at approximately over 100
miles Of road. The Southern Pacific Com
pany estimates that the construction of
these additional terminals for it's lines will
cost about one and one-half million dol
lars.
1t will cost the Southern Pacific $685. 900
to equip all of its locomotives with electric
headlights. The full crew bill will mean
an additional annual expense to that COM
pany of $4,000, and the eight-hour bill
will increase its expense at least $500
per annum. 1t Is claimed. Tax legislation
is now pending at the special session which
will increase the tax burdens of the Texas
railroads one and three-Quarters million

Strait VS. British-American
Mortgage CO. Decision by
Supreme Court in a Ian
caster Case.

The State: In the supreme
court yesterday a decision was
rendered in the case Of L. j.
Strait, former congressman from
Lancaster, in his suit brought
against the British. American
Mortgage company. The decision
was on an appeal taken frola
"a ruling by the circuit judge,
which allowed DR.. Strait to en-.
ter suit on the charge OF usury.
The complaint states that he
borrowed from the company
$500 and gave five notes for
the payment thereof and failed
to make the first payment. The
company brought suit and DR..
Strait claimed that in addition
to the interest of S per cent an
additional lO per cent was charg
ed for attorneys fees, which was
in violation of the law. The com.
pany set up the defense that il
was necessary to charge this fee
and that it was not in conflict
with the interest laws of the
State.
A demurrer was entered by
DR.. Strait which was oyerruled
by the supreme court and the
case will now come up in Lam
caster county on its merits.

CITY-CoUNTY BUILDING PLAN
New Structure Back of Hall to Join
Latter and BE Used
Jointly.

Architect John Latenser has been asked
to draw sketch plans Of building to dupli-
cate the city hall and face on Douglas
street Immediately back of the city hall to
be united with the latter and the two used
as city and county headquarters. Council
man Zmman has been asked to look out
for the legal side of the proposition from
the city's standpoint. The matter comNs
over from the county commissioners.
The county commissioners are discussing
whether the county should be bonded for
81. 100000 or more to construct a new court
house, or as to whether the plan of one OF
the commissioners to add wings and stores
and rent the stores is feasible; as to
whether or not 1t is feasible to underpir
the present building and add a story and
a half below the present building, grade
the court house ground. put In elevators
and make the present building do.
"In connection with this must be con-
sidered that the Jail is entirely out Of date
and must, be reconstructed: in fact, there
is under consideration now scheme tc
expend some 5000 or $4,000 to enlarge the
jail, which some commissioners object tc
because II will put off the general improve
ment Of the ground still further" said a
man on the inside.
One scheme has been suggested to ac'
quire the ground south of Harvey street
opposite the court house within a block oil
two and build a city Jail, county iail
police court and criminal court building
thus relieving the present court house.
Those who look further into the future
are advocating some scheme which event
ually will combine the city and county
buildings. either by building north OF the
city hall or by so building on the court
house square as to leave room for future
city building In connection with the cour
house, either in the shape of twin buildings
or a complete building.
The advocates OF this scheme claim tina
great deal of money would be saved II
the management of this building, as thu
cost of maintenance would be reduced 5
per cent for each party.
