A GOLDEN BALL,
British Soldiers Played the National
Game With u.

Probably no game Of ball, by pro-
fessional or college team, was ever
watched with such inner interest but
with such outward indifference % one
described In Gertrude Vanderbilt's
Social History Of Flatbush." Il hap
pened In revolutionary times. when
the British soldiers were stationed on
Long Island. The inhabitants had hid
den their valuables In all possible
places. One lady concealed some gold
coins in a ball.shaped pincushion OF
the kind worn by the Dutch house
wife, suspended at her side.
She was sitting sewing one day
when party OF British soldiers en-
tered the room. A young ofiicer. spy
Ing what to him was a novelty, cut
with his sword the ribbon by which
the cushion was hung and began
game of ball.
Soon the rest Of the company Joined
the sport. Bolsterously. from hand
to hand. the ball was batted to and
fro. 1t was roughly snatched and
tossed, and sometimes 1t fell into the
ashes of the fireplace, and barely es-
capped conflagration. Now and again
q soldier would catch It ON the tip of
his sword and send It spinning on
with rent In its side.
Every moment threatened to reveal
the precious contents. To show the
least anxiety was to betray the secret,
and the owner was forced to sit un.
moved. apparently intent ON her work.
and to see her fortune flying through
the air. at the mercy Of the enemy. At
last the cushion. torn and battered.
but still guarding its treasure. was re-
turned to its mistress. and the intrud-
ers. tired of their play, left the house.

Prizes for Farmers.

Austria provides an object lesson
in dealing with waste lands. Prizes
are given to farmers to encourage
them to recover waste lands and
lay them down as pasturage, and
also to erect shelters or stables for
cows in high attitudes. The impor
lance Of this may be seen. from the
statement that one-Quarter of the
total fodder required for cattle and
horses in the empire b derived from
Alpine districts.

URGES UNIFORMITY

They Suggest Plan Whereby the Com- missI0ners Act As the Agents For the Interstate COm-
 merce Commission.


 Washington. D. C.. Oct 10-Thus far. no serious difference of opinion has arisen among the delegates to the con vention of the National Association oI Railway Commissioners. and the dis position to run counter to the Federal contfol of railways is not so strong as ct the opening of the convention.
 Two reports on the program for to- day. those on 'Iegislatton." and rates and rate making were expected to pro- yoke some discussion of general inter est. both striking directly at the point of cleavage between the authorities of the national government on the subject of Federal control, which the committee holds is impossible without an amend msnt to the Constitution. The commit tee maintains that the demand of the people is that the control of rates he lodged as near at home as possible. The committee also urges uniformity of act ion between the Federal and State rsil- way authorities. and that. in some ln- stances at least. the State railawy com missioners act as agents for the Inter state Commerce Commission.

New York, Oct. 10.-Loans of over $20. 0.0C0.0Q0. which the books of the Southern Pipe Line Company show were made to P. s. Trainor between 1899 and 1905. became more puzzling of solution to Frank B. Kellogg. con ducting the Federal suit against the Standard oil Company today, when MT. Trainor, taking the witness stand. in the oil suit, testified that the non- ey had never been paid to him and that he had never heard of the account
 The Southerns books show that the unsigned vouchers were received for these loans and that the money was never handed back to the company. MT. Trainor said that he was formerly crude oil purchasing agent for the Standard Oil Company of New York, sold it to the refineries. He said he acted in a similar capacity now for the Standard oil Company of New Jersey.
 Mr. Kellogg called Mir. Trainor's at tention to the various loans, amount ing to over $20,000.0 900, which were made by the Southern Pipe Line Com pany and charged to P. S. Trainor,' and asked him to tell all he knew con- corning the loans.
 T do not know anything about these loans." answered Mir. Trainor. 'I had an old account with the Southern Com pany but no money account. I never gave them any vouchers and never heard anything about the ioans."
 Mr. Trainor said that he fixed the price paid for crude oil after consult ing with John D. Archbold, Vice-Pres- ident of the Standard. These consult tations were held daily by MT. Trainor, and after they were over. he made public the market price of crude oil.
 H. M Tiiford. Treasurer of the Standard oil Company of California and President of the Continental oil Company, when asked to produce the reports of the Continental Company, testified that whenever a new report was received. he invariably destroyed the old one.
