Amidst the greatest and widest ex- citement of the roller polo season, the local club last night ripped up and sev- eroly damaged the Providence quintet by 1 to story. The contest was the hardest fought here this year and only the superior work of our lads, wrested well earned victory from the Rhode Island crew.
 Bone was the individual star of the evening and tho polo wonder did not belle his reputation when he literally flew all over the QuinniplaC rink Dodg- ing, squrmng and twisting, George was the hero of the play and after skillfully evading the Rhode Island army coaYcd tho pill into the cage for tho four Elm City goals. This sort of playing completely dazed the grays and after capturing all the rushes, Bone figured prominently in the team work of his men.
 Our athletes were equal to the task last night and their mighty playing in- cludlng the remarkable work of their leader Bone, served to safely lodge them in second berth II was a beau tful sight to witness the brilliant team work of our representatives, and their work. was that of coming champion quintet.
 The contest was not only one of the llveliest of the season. but tho rough element which presented itself In the playing was shameful Continually. the husky visitors rosorted 10 all kinds of tricks and smashed right Into our clean playing Ave of course, our po- lolsts could not tolerate such measures and immediately took decisive steps and administered 2 severe dose of pun- shment to the Providence organization This display of cheap work on the part of the visitors only served to mar the contest
 During the course of play, Warner the local rusher was cloutcd on tho head, evidently by Monard. the visiting center. Blood burst forth from the deer gash and Warner immediately fell in a heap After the wound had heen patch. ed up the plucky local man continued play and was given the glad hand by the enthusiastic audience

SPENT NIGHT In
DISABLED LAUNCH

MILLVILLE, Sept 1O.-After a
night Of hardship spent i'm a disabled
launch in the Delaware bay. an excur-
sion party of nine. composed of nem-
bers of widely known Millville fami-
lies, returned to find that anxiety over
their safety had resulted in a paralytic
stroke to a relative who had been left
at home.
on Labor Day Mr. and Mrs. DeTbert
Campbell, Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Camp
bell, Mrs. Nellie Woodruff and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Amanda Rose, Mrs. Alexan-
der Torrens and Mrs Somers Ramsey

engine broke down. A high wind came
up and the boat was in constant dan
ger of being swamped
The Stars and Stripes hoisted up
side down as a signal Of distress
brought no relief. and the vessel was
tossed all night by the waves.
In the morning an oyster boat towed
the launch TO Eagle Point Lighthouse.
where sufficient repairs were made to
permit the boat TO return.
Relatives here spent an anxious
night. Many did not go to bed. Alex
ander Torrens. 65 years old, excited
over the unexplained absence of the
party was stricken with paralysis
when he learned that the members
were safe. His condition is critical.

INVENTS TELEPHONE DEVICE

Miss Marion p Lloyd, OF No. 203
West Nineteenth street, has invented
a device TO support the receiver of a
telephone close TO the ear and do away
with having TO hold IL with one hand.
The arrangement is made of metal at
tached to the side of the instrument
When brought forward the attachment
gives the signal at central. When
folded back the connection is broken.
The device acts much the same way
as the present method except that it
supports the receiver at the proper
height and distance to come against
the ear of the person talking into the
trausmitter. Miss Lloyd has applied
for patent and has already received
offers from manufacturers of tele-
phones. Miss Lloyd is a daughter OF
Isaac V. Lloyd, secretary of the Farm
ers Mutual Fire Insurance Company.

This Great Cut Price Sale
REVENUE FROM
OYSTER LANDS
Taxation Commission Sees
Opportunity for Their Profit
able Development

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del. Sept :O-'I am sure
the commission can suggest a remecy
and great Improvement on the present
conditions of our oyster grounds" said
Senator Alvan b. Conner at the State
House yesterday, after the return OF
the members of the Revenue and Tax
alton Commission. who. with Governor
Lea. State Fish Commissioner Charles
J. Luff and State Rev venue Collector
c. George Wright, had returned from
their inspection of the States rich and
prolific oyster teds from Mahon's to
BroadlSiln Rivers
CAS- it is. added Senator Conner, mo.
body has an assurance rs to what they
have now"
This has been a great obstacle to ex-
pert oyster planters coming here and
further developing the Delaware
grounds for years. The State leases
a given number Of acres to the oyster
planters each wear. and only for the
year. ANY man is afraid to expend toS
much energy and money in the develop
ment of the ground he leases because
he does not know who will have the
ground next year.
The Virginia plan is to lease a GER
tain number of acres for a period of
twenty years. with tho privilege Of
first refusal Of the grounds at the
expiration of the term II another lease
is desired.
The advantage of this is that every
planter then eXerts his utmost en-
deavor to make his ieds the most
prolific on the shore. The State be-
come the owners of a far more profit
able oyster zone. becomes sure Of its
rentals for twentv-year terms. and is
able to better hold the planters TO an
occupancy of lust what they lease,
rather than TO suffer from the oc-
cupancy Of fifty acres by a planter
who has only leased twenty-five.
The commission held a short meeting
after its day at sea" but simply took
the minutes Of the day and adjourned.
1t is believed the States revenue OF
$1,000 from oysters can be increased
three or fourfold.

CUTTING DOWN
OFFICE EXPENSES

Office EXPENSES at Broad Street Sta
tion are being cut down as never be-
fore in the memory of men old in the
service Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company From rubber bands up
through all the office supplies, the policy
Of economy and elimination Of waste
are in sharp evidence
President McCrea initiated this move
and appointed a special committee TO
carry his ideas into effect.
Every department in the general Of
fee management of she Pennsylvania
Railroad is represented on the commit
tee one Of the items of expense
which was encountered was $4,000 per
annum fo- rubber bands. This has
been cut down almost as far as elastic
will stretch Where heretofore every
clerk thought il convenient TO have a
box OF each size OF rubber bands, they
now get only an assortment.
What the committee is doing is 20
standardize all Office supplies. Lead
pencils. erasers. pens, paper tablets.
letterhcads ana all printed paper forms
are being reduced to standards And
much less expensive makes Of paper
have been adopted. Heavy bond paper
for correspondence has been done away
WITH except for the use Of executive
officers in important outside communi-
cations.
The committee feels that il has made
a good start. but that iis work is not
vet nearly completed. While the aggrc-
gate saving accomplished has not been
ascertained as vet. II Is roughly esti-
mated that the year viii slow a full
third reduction in general office ex-
penses. which. for last year amounted
