oRlaH TO MILWAUKEE, ROAD
Iowa Commission Insists shipper
Shall he Allowed to RecOnsIgn
Coal from Illinois.
(From a staff Correspondent


DIES MONIES, Ia, oct. 6--(Speclal)-
Orders have been given to the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad by the
State Railroad commission to receive car
load shipments Of coal at Davenport in
cars OF other companies and transport to
Iowa points. The company has not COM
piled thus far and the commission may
ask the attorney general to enforce its
order.
Coal shipments have been made from
Illinois points to Davenport by the local
Illinois state rate, and from Davenport to
Iowa points by the local low distance
tariff, the shipment being reconsigned at
Davenport because the low Iowa rates
made the late less to ship by the two
state rates than by the interstate rate.
The Milwaukee balked and refused to
receive such consignHients unless reloaded
into Milwaukee cars. This would force the
shippers to ship by interstate rates, Com
plants were made to the commission by
the Clark Coal and Coke company and by
the State Board Of Control against tnis
action on the part Of the railroad. Ship
ments made to the soldiers Orphan home
near Davenport and 70 other points in
Iowa gave rise to the complaint. The com
mission has ordered the road to receive tho
carload shipments without being reloaded
into Milwaukee cars.

LOWER BROADWAY TO BE OILED
Experiment to he Tried on Unpaved
Portfou.

-
Experiment to He Tried on Unpaved
Portion.
The work Of oiling the unpaved strip on
West Broadway between Thirteenth street
and the approach to the motor company's
bridge will be commenced today, according
to arrangements made yesterday by Mayor
Maloney and A. l.. English, manager Of
the Citizens Gas and Electric company.
The five blocks from Thirteenth to Eigh-
tenth street will be treated first n the
material for this stretch will be provided
by the gas company. The material which
will be used is not oil. but a byproduct
OF the manufacture Of gas at the plant Of
the local company. II is the non volatile
residue Of the Oil used in the manufacture
Of gas and resembles thin tar or asphaltum
in consistency. This fluid will be applied
to the unpaved strip in the center Of the
roadway by means of one Of the sprinkling
wagons used on the city streets. From
1000 to 1900 gallons will be used. This,
1t is believed, will give a reasonably good
surface for one season, at least, and IL
the experiment proves successful the
treatment will be repeated next year.
Mayor Maloney and the committee from
the Commercial club, consisting of DR.. H.
3. Jennings and H. II. Van Brunt, will
take charge of the work of oilinE the re-
mainder of the ~thoroughfare from Eigh-
teenth street to the bridge. The CONNER
cial club some time ago agreed to con-
tribute 500 for this purpose and Mayor
Maloney stated yesterday that the work
would be done as soon as the oil could be
procured. 1t is likely that crude oil will
be used on this stretch of Broadway.

WCMEN PLAY WELL
Indications hat National Golf Title
May Go Abroad.

PHILADELPHIA, oct. 6.-Developments
today in the women's annual national golf
championship had a distinctly British cast,
and many observers at the links OF the
Merton Cricket club are beginning TO
think that the title will be carried abroad.
Two of the four British women who quail
fled Monday for the title, were put out
today in the second round of match play,
but the most skillful and prominent OF the
visiting delegation, Miss Dorothy CamppelI
and Miss Frances Teacher, remain. AS
both are in the top half of the draw,
should both win tomorrow, they must meet
in the semi-finals, so the spectacle Will
be spared of two foreign players contend
ing against each other in the final for the
championship of the United States.
Mrs. Charles T. Stout of New York, eN-
national and Metropolitan champion, held
herself In reserve today in beating Miss
Frances Grlscom, Philadelphia, another
former title holder, feeling in advance that
she must meet the British champion to-
morrow. Miss Campbell had a much
Philadelphia, who never played so well be-
fore. Miss Teacher showed the best quality
of the Invaders" to date by handily beat
ing Miss Vida Llewellyn, western cham
pion, although luck was rather on the chi
cagoan's side.
Mrs. Caleb Fox, Philadelphia, won on the
home hole from Miss Mary Adams, Boston,
eastern champion, after an amusing round,
in which both took practically three puts
at every hole. Miss Margery Phelps, Bos-
ton, had to play out the home hole to win
from Miss Temple OF England, but man
aged to keep her nerve at the critical point.
The only extra hole match was that in
which Miss Isabella Smith, Chicago, beat
Miss Elizabeth Porter, Boston, on the
nineteenth, with high scoring. Miss Jane
Spence of England pushed Mrs. Ronald
Barlow, former Philadelphia district cham
pion, the full round for a decision, an un-
expected development, as this is Mrs. Bar
lows home course. Miss Noblit Of VIII
mington, had the easiest match of the
day.
This afternoon was devoted to the driv-
ing and approaching and putting contests,
both of which went to the Britishers. Miss
Dorothy Campbell. Scotland, title holder
of Great Britain, led the driving, her total
being 541 yards two feet at three tries, di-
vided as follows: 175 yards, 100 yards, l6
| yards two feet. Miss Isabella Smith, Chit
cago, was second, with 52 yards II inches.
Third came Miss Frances Griscom, Phila-
delphia, at sol yards one foot, 1859 yards one
foot; l6O yards two feet, lSl yards one foot.
