THIRTY TUGS IDLE.
Engineers Refuse to Work Without
Additional Help.

New York, Oct. 18.-Thirty large
coastwise tugs are idle in the waters of
New York city, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia and Boston, because the two en-
gineers on each boat refuse to work
unless a third engineer is employed to
help them.
Edgar F. Luckenbach, president of
the Coastwise Tug Owners association
has begun injunction proceedings be-
fore Judge Aspinwall of the supreme
court in Brooklyn, to oblige the officers
of the Marine Engineers Beneficial as
ISOLATION not to abet the engineers as
alleged in their position. The injunc-
ton is returnable tomorrow. He has
also complained to the local federal
steamboat inspectors. But James J.
Waters representing the engineers
organization, declares that no en-
gineers have quit work except such as
did so voluntarily and the association
is not responsible because the question
rests entirely with the engineers of
each tug.

is ON A HAND CAR.
Making an Inspection of the
M. TX. & t. Lines.
StenOgrapherTakes Description
of Bad Places Found.

Frank Ryan, state railroad COM
missioner. threatens to again smash
one of the carefully established pre-
cedents' of the state board of rail-
road commissioners. The state board
of railroad commissioners-that is,
the two conservative members, Ryker
and Kanavel-voted that they would
not make public anything about the
condition of the railway tracks in the
state, but would simply whisper in the
ear of the railroad officials the
changes and improvements necessary.
This was done in accordance with the
advice of G. F. Grattan, the attorney
for the board. Governor Hoch, as in
the 2-cent fare matter, has given it
out fiat to the board and the attor-
ney that he does not approve of such
gum-shoe methods, and the result is
that Commissioner Frank Ryan will
break over the ruling of the majority
of the board, and make public the re-
suit of his inspection of the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas track which he is
now making.
Mr.. Ryan is making the inspection
on a handcar, and is accompanied by
the boards stenographer, r. J. West
Whenever he finds a place in the
track that needs fixing, he dictates a
description of it to the stenographer.
In an Interview at Emporia Mr. Ryan
said that this Information was intend
ed for the public. This is Mr.. Ryan's
statement:
This branch of the Katy is not in
bad condition, and the officials are
recognizing the speed limit 1 go on
my handcar in order that 1 may stop
where I please and examine the track.
I have stenographer along so that
can make a report as 1 find things.
This report is, however, not so much
for the board of railroad commission
ers as it is for the people at large. 1
want to do my duty and report the
actual conditions as I find them"
Mr. Ryan also told of how he in
spected the Central branch Of the
Missouri Pacific near Atchison several
weeks ago. He said that the track
was so bad on the Central Branch,
that the trains had to run slow, and
he rode on the COW catcher of the en-
CINE and examined the track and
roadbed.
Mr. Ryan, when asked if he didn't
get tired riding on the handcar and
walking fourteen miles on railroad
ties in one day. said that it made him
sleep we'll at night.

PRIZE RIDERS ARE HERE.
Will Give an Exhibition at Ball Park
Saturday Afternoon.

Frank Truax, who claims to be the
champion broncho rider of the world,
assisted by John Christian of Texas,
another rider of note, will give an exhi-
bition at the ball park Saturday after
noon to which an admission charge of
25 cents will be made. The riding will
be done in true western style without
bride, halter or stirrups and promises
to be thrilling exhibition of one of the
pastimes of the great west.
They offer to ride anything that has
hair from the fiercest outlaw of the
horse kingdom to the meanest mule that
ever lived. They have a string of out
laws" of their own, and offer to ride
any horse or mule that is brought to
the park. 1t is announced that the con-
test will be for a purse Of $500 aside to
decide the merits of the two men as
broncho riders.
At contest held in Denver last year
and participated in by some of the
best known riders of the west Truax
was awarded the championship of the
northwest. Later he won the interna-
tionals contest held at st. Louis, defeat
ing all competitors with ease. He is
tall, slender young man and looks the
part of the western cowboy so common
in western Kansas a few years ago.
Christian, who is to meet Truax, has
an enviable record in Texas and the
southwest where he has met some Of the
best riders and has never been defeated
in a riding contest. He has not posed
as professional rider and nearly all
of his riding has been in his native
state where he is looked upon as IN
