the effect that the reported hold-up
OF the twelve stage coaches on Mon
day last was for the purpose of TAX.
ing picture for the eastern syndi-
cate which operate and control the
films used in the small nickleodeon
theaters throughout the country.
The news was received after the
arrest of the man who was employed
to turn the trick, and for whom a
posse had been searching for twelve
hours. 1t is matter of conjecture
Just what step can be taken in the
matter of conviction, as it is under
stood that the man while placed upon
his nerve in attempting the hold-up
was under protection of the law and
attention was paid to the
investigation which is always made
In order to make sure that none of
the passengers were in possession OF
fire arms. After the capture, and the
facts became known, all of the stolen
plunder was returned to the victims
Of the hold-up.

MASkETTA Wins
The FUTURITY
(By Associated Press }

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-James r.
Keene's brown filly Maskette easily
captured the twenty-first running of
the futurity race at Sheepshead Bay
today. The attendance was small,
only $4,000 witnessing the event.
The record attendance was $4,000.
There was absolutely no betting. The
futurity was the fourth race on the
card. 1t is said an attempt was made
to lay wagers on the first race, but a
quietus was put upon it. The jockey
club had posted notices about the
grounds warning against betting and
the same notice drawn up as
drastically as the stewards could
make it, adorned the program.
There were nine starters in the flu
turity, which was valued at $23,1OO
to the winner. Maskette ran a pretty
race and won by fully three lengths
in the magnificent time of 1:11 1-5.
equalling the best time for the race.
J. Z. Madden's Sir Martin took sec
ond place and Keene's Helmet third.

CAR SHORTAGE
IS NOW EXPECTE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.The
supply for the coming fall is one
ment in the railroad situation ti
continues to be watched closely
the Interstate commerce commissid
There Is a pronounced fear in 3
minds Of members of the commissi
that there will be a car shorta
when the crops begin to move. al
that the commission will be appeal
to for relief from situation oy +
which 1t has no control. The shol
age, In the view of the commissioI
will be caused by the fact that I'll
railroads will not have placed the
available supply Of freight cars in II
pair by the time the rush begins.
\ The interstate commerce commi
sion does not gather statistics Of Cd
supply, but statements have appeare
in the press dispatches from hea
quarters of the various roads that cs
repairers had been returned to thef
former places, and that shops whicE
had been practically closed since las
spring had been reopened. The lates
example of this activity in the opel
ating department comes from Balti
more, where the Pennsylvania rail
road has increased the forces in thI
car shops.
The figures furnished in connection
with this order of the Pennsylvania
road show that there are fewer idlj
cars on that system than theer werl
at the beginning OF the presen|
month. It is stated that no less thar
10000 cars have been taken from
sidings on which they were run sew
eral months ago. Some of these have
been sent to the shops for repairs, bul
others have been put into immediate
use
At the end of the first week in the
present month the Pennsylvania had
78,4O0 idle cars, the smallest nuns
Der for months. The largest number
Of idle cars on the system during the
recent depression was $4,000, but In
the late spring and early summer the
figures fiuctuated between $1,000 and
$4,000. Officials of that line look for
an enormous movement of freight
this fall and winter, and the orders
for restoring the forces to normal
have been issued In anticipation Of
such movement.
Word has come to the interstate
commerce commission from unofficial
sources that the northwestern and
western lines have also begun to re-
pair their idle freight cars, and grati-
ication has been expressed that this
move has been made, but there is
IT'LL a fear that the cars can not be
,ut into shape for service rapidly
'noughto move the traffic.
Should there be a car shortage or
