UNIFORMITY IN PRACTICE
In Matters of Administration Consid
cred by Railway Commissioners.

Washington, Nov. 16.-Uniformity in
practice in matters pertaining to rail-
road administration, is the keynote
governing the work of the National
Association of Railway Commissioners,
who began their 21st annual conven-
ton here today. This organization is
made up largely of officers of state
commissions whose functions toward
intra-state commerce are similar to
those Of the national body in the ad :
mlnistration of the interstate COM
merce laws. Martin S. Decker of the
New York State commission is pres
ident of the national organization.
Many important matters are to be
considered at this meeting, including
those of amendments to the national
law, uniform classification, rates and
rate making, car service and demur-
rage, railroad taxes and plans for as
pertaining the fair value of railroad
property, railway capitalization and
delays attendant in the enforcement of
orders of railroad commissions. These
questions have been in the hands of
committees appointed by President
Decker sometime ago.

Brunswick, Nov. 16.-There is joy
here because of the fact that the man.
agement OF the Bowdoin football team
has entered into negotiations with the
Naval Academy team at Annapolis,
Nd, and there is a brilliant prospect
that a game will be played at Phila-

the Saturday following.
The negotiations are the result of
the good work of Lieut.. Walter Phi

doin, who on learning that the Navy
team desired to fill in the cancelled
West Point game, doomed Bowdoin
and told OF it's good work this year
All the collegians are greatly pleased
and If the negotiations terminate sue
cessfully a large delegation will go
from here. 1t will be the first time that
Bowdoin has appeared against an

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 16.--Both Presi-

Bob Bescher deny absolutely that there
was anything like an effort made by
baseball officials to get him to stop
playing football. From Dayton the
other night came report that the
officials of the Reds had written
Bescher to the effect that if he would
quit the gridiron they would give him
better money on the diamond.
This was founded on Imagination
said Hermann in speaking OF the case.
Bescher says he has quit football for
his physical benefit and that if he was
through playing baseball nothing could
keep him off the gridiron.

said. And if there had been, | Ger

Now York Nov 16.-The confusion in
the movement of prices IN TO-DAY stock
