Another child was placed under one

Manager Mcfarland summoned
Peggy Bemis for the slab duty of the
visitors and Bemis pitched his usual
hard luck game. Bemis is undoubt-
eddy the hard luck pitcher of the asso-
citation. He pitches good ball every
time he goes into the box but nearly
always manages to lose. Yesterday
he allowed the Champs to bunch a few
hits on him at opportune times. Out
side of the eighth inning he pitched
great ball and had his spitball under
good control. In an ordinary game
Bemis would have won but yesterday
his teammates fell before Halla'S de-
livery like slough grass before a
sickle.
The Okiahomans got but one man
to third base and but one other to
second. The Nets have been Woe
fully weak with the willow since strik-
ing Topeka and have been unable to

Our pitchers are rounding into great
form just about the time they are
needed to humble Wichita's pride.
The scoring of the game commenced
with the locals in the rourth inning.
Hurlburt led off with a single and
went to second on Abbott's inf1eld out.
Erwin sent one down the left field
foul line for a two Dagger scoring
Hurlburt. The ball was very close to
foul and in the opinion of a good many
including Oklahoma City players, it
was foul. Mr.. Guthrie, who has given
great satisfaction during the present
series, said it was fair and the crowd
took his word for it.

Gould Interests Going After
Oklahoma Business.
Now Own But One Line in the
Two Territories.
THEY SEEK OTHERS.
May Have Secured Control of
the Oklahoma Central.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

Guthrie, Ok, June 20.-That the
Gould interests are going to get busy
IN Oklahoma railroad circles is in
dicated by the semi-official announce
ment that they had secured control of
the Oklahoma Central, an indepen-
dent line now in operation from Le-
high to Purcell and under construc-
ton from Purcell to Chickasha. The
road gives a western outlet from the
coal field of the Choctaw nation and
for practically it's entire length ira
verses a country which had been en-
tirely unoccupied by the railroads. 1t
crosses several north and south lines,
but is the only east and west road in
the two territories, with the one ex-
cepuon of the Choctaw, now owned by
the Rock Island
The Gould interests now have but
one line in either territory, the Iron
Mountain line running from Cohey-
Vile, Kan, to Fort Smith, Ark. Ru-
mors have been -af1oat for several
years that they intended invading the
Oklahoma field, and it had been COM
monty talked that the proposed line
from Caney, Kan, southwest through
Pawhuska to Guthrie was a Missouri
Pacific proposition, but that line, at
least so far as any Missouri Pacific
connections are concerned, now seems
to have fallen through entirely.
The NJ. X & 7. is also planning
number of extensions in Oklahoma.
Reports from Shawnee. which do not
seem to be official in their character,
state that the company will build a
branch from that city northeast to
Falls, giving direct connections with
Guthrie, and another to the north
west so as to give more direct COM
munications between Shawnee and
Muskogee. Work is now in progress
on the shortening of the line between
Shawnee and Atoka, and with that
end in view, three miles of track be-
tween Ada and Kanawa are being
moved from the river embankment to
new grade along the rock cliff. Adj
ditional train service is also to be Civ
en- on the NJ. *. & T. branch between
Muskogee and Osake Junction, giving
the people along that branch a chance
TO catch the fast trains for st. Louis
and Kansas City at Muskogee.
The st. Louis, Bartlesville & Pacific,
the proposed east and west line
through the northern part of the state
has made a proposition to the citizens
of Ponca City, which is favorably con-
sidered there. The promoters of the
road ask $25, 900 from Ponca City,
but will allow $500 per mile for right
of way from the east line of the coun-
ty to Chickaska river and SO, 900 for
terminal facilities in the city, reduc-
ing the actual cash bonus to $500.

PREPARE FOR THE RUSH.
Hartman Lines Getting Ready to
Handle Heavy Traffic.

Chicago, June 20.-Every exertion
Is being made by the Hartman lines
to prevent a recurrence of last years
congestion of traffic through the lack
of equipment. From these exertions
every industry on the Pacific coast
will benefit immensely. A large in
crease of traffic is expected over last
year, and provision has been made to
meet it with reasonable expedition.
The southbcund lumber movement
alone on the Southern Pacific lines-in
Oregon to points outside the state
jumped to 73,4OO,00Oz tons in June,
1906 an increase of -S26 car loads, or
12e per cent. The eastbound tonnage
in the same time increased from 49,
0O0.000 tons to nearly 100000. This
unprecedented gain was responsible
for delays that occurred in spite of
arrangements made in advance to
handle an expected increase in lumber
traffic, but of course, such a phenom-
email increase as actually occurred
could not be foreseen.
New freight equipment on the Har-
rfman system amounts in the aggre-
gate to something like $4,000 cars. but
as the cars are of much greater carry
ing capacity than the old ones, the
number does not give any adequate
conception of the actual increase. The
total freight capacity of these new
cars is 2,720,776 tons, and trackage
and motive power have been increased
in corresponding degree.

and Pendry followed suit, Bemis,
however, being held at second. Scog-
gins attempted a sacrifice but Bemis
was caught at. third. Gill went out,
Halla to Abbott and Rapps rolled an
out.
Outside of the gilt edged work of
Halla in the box, the feature of the
game was the batting of Captain
Hurlburt. The big captain was only
up four times but that was enough
for him to connect for single, double
and a triple. Davis was out of the
game with his spiked hand and
Erwin took his place in right. He
made great one handed catch of
drive from Mcfarland in the second
inning which robbed the Met player
of a three Dagger, He also secured a
double.

FREIGHT HANDLERS WIN OUT.
Railroads OfTcr Them a Seven Pei
Cent Increase in Pay.

Chicago, June 2O.-F1ve thousand
freight handlers in the employ of rail-
roads in Chicago probably will receive
wage advances amounting to s25O.0OO
annually within the next few days.
The st. Paul road yesterday offered
it's men a per cent increase in pay
and other roads are expected to fol-
low the example.
The st. Paul employees at a meeting
last night practically accepted the
wage offer, although it is less than
the advance demanded by the union,
which was about II II per cent. This
makes the second increase received by
freight handlers within the last year,
an advance of 1 cent an hour having
been granted by all roads last Sep
TENDER.
The settlement, if participated in by
the other roads, will tend to clarity
the local labor situation, since the
freight handlers had threatened to
strike on July 1 unless a satisfactory
agreement was secured.
Announcement also was made that
all clerks in the freight houses of the
St. Paul & Northwestern roads will
receive an increase in pay amounting
to 10 per cent beginning July 1.

SHIPPERS ARE KICKING NOW.
Claim They Were Gold Bricked by
Hepburn Act.


Shippers. after a few months ex-
perience of the workings of the Hep
burn act, have come to the conclusion
that it is a poor thing for them, and
most of them would be glad to go
back to the old conditions which OBJ
tanned before its passage. They have
come to the conclusion that the roads
derive more benefit from the enforce
ment of its provisions than the ship
pers do. In fact. they are of opinion
that the roads have stolen march on
them. The roads. they say, got the
president first, and Impressed him
with the idea that the shippers of
freight who accepted rebates and
passes were the real offenders against
everything that was right and proper
in the transportation world. With his
usual impetuosity and irrepressible en-
ergy President Roosevelt, they de-
clare, is going so fast in the direction
in which he was headed by the railway
men that the shippers have been fore
ed to get together and begin to make
so much noise that it will attract his
attention. so that they may have an
to show him that the law
is unjust to them and disabuse his
mind of the impression that they were
responsible for all the ills which the
law aims to remedy.
The shippers especially want the
law amended so that they will not be
held responsible for mistakes made by
the railroads in compiling tariffs or
quoting rates, and that when a rate
is quoted and put on a bill of lading
the road, and not the shippers, will be
responsible for anything that is illegal

Speck Hurlburt yesterday certainly
showed symptoms of regaining his for
ner stride for which he has been noted
during the past two years that he has
played in the Western Association. For
a time it was feared that he had played
his limit but yesterday he certainly
showed the error of this opinion. Out
of four times up he secured a triple, a
double and a single. In the field he
made a couple of catches, one of which
was a very difficult one and retired the
Oklahomans in the ninth inning when
the bases were occupied. Speck will

yesterday where he played a great
game. He is promising looking play

Arnold, the big pitcher of the White
Sox did not accompany the team TO

MAY DELAY TERMINALS.
Railroads See Trouble in Floating
Bonds for Kansas City Station.

1SdllfOa0S see Trouble IN FIOat1n&
Bonds for Kansas City Station.
Chicago, June 20.-Owing to the
difficulties which railroads are expert
encing in floating their securities, it is
possible that the $2O.0O0,000 union
terminal improvement at Kansas City
may be indefinitely delayed. The
board of directors of the Kansas City
Union Terminal company, in immedi-
ate expectation of securing the desired
ordinance from the city council of
Kansas City, held a meeting yesterday
in the office of President B. L. Win
cheH of the Rock Island to consider
ways and means of financing the
project.
After several hours discussion, the
officials gave it up and decided to
think over the subject and meet again
at some time in the future. The gen.
eral opinion was to the effect that at
this time it would be very difficult, if
not impossible. to float the $4,000
600 or SIS, 100000 worth of securities
which will be needed to complete the
improvements least. to float them
upon favorable terms.
The officials of the roads interested
in the depot and terminal improve
ments are at a loss to know what to
do. All they would say yesterday was
to express the hope that before it be-
came necessary to secure the money
conditions would improve somewhat
factorily. B. L. Harmon, president of
the terminal company. attended the
meeting and presented the completed
plans and drawings for the new pas
senger depot. They met the approval
of the board,
