New System of Scaling Freiehts on
 New Haven Road.
 Elaborate changes fin the system of sealing cars are being worked out by the freight department of the New Haven railroad. They are expected to check 'thieving from the cars and make the detection of pilferers easier.
 The secret service of the company has been brought a point of efficiency the greatest in its history. There have been a number of arrests of organized gangs recently.
 The arrest of 8. conductor of the New York and Boston express for permit ting certain persons to ride for half to the secret service in no uncertain way. James R. McMahon is the pres ent chief of the service.
 He is a New York man In 1902 Jerry O'Brien was head of the service. James Valley, former New York de- tective sergeant, succeeded him. Jack Mcdonald, a deputy sheriff of Water bury, did much then to perfect the work.
 The new seal system is expected to be of great help to the secret service. When the loaded cars are receivd at the Harlem River yards the comnany's seal will be placed on them This seal will be inspected at the yards in East Bridgeport, at New Haven. at Midway and at as many other points on the main line as are necessary.
 There will be chance foryard watchmen to be promoted to the se- cret service. These watchmen have been sworn Tn as special officers. Any of them that snow quality may be pro- noted.

Saw Record ROlIine at Providence.

Alien Murphy, assistant at the Rose alleys, returned Thursday from trip to Providence the day before, where nc was the guest of Henry Donnelly enc Roy Rock, who gave hin1 the time or his life. What there was in Provi- dence that he didn't see under the guidance of his two friends isnt worth seeing. Murphy declares.
 One of the special objects of the trip was to see something worth while in the way of big duckpin strings and in this he was entirely successful, as several remarkable scores were ob- tained in the Greater City league games by both teams and individuals. Tho Central five cbalked up 1755 total including strings of 605 and 612-and while Washington got 1130, including 8 eos. Paddock led the individuals witt a phenomenal 29S total. while Frank Enelebrook was close behind with 394. Fennessey got 372, Vickers 361, King 358 and Burnham 352.
 Englebrook and Vickers are two of the players coming here next Friday as members of the tearc which will do things at the Rose alleys. and they promise some record high scores.
