vile and gave himself up and is now in
Jail here awaiting trial. Poole is said to

poets to have him in custody in a short
time.

Game todax-Petworth xs. Woodburn.

Game tOday-Petworth Woodburn.
The Brightwood Tramps had an easy
time winning their eighth straight game
fight and the Tramps romped away from
the Parkmen to the tune Pf IA to 2.
Fague, Fentress and Bergman led with
the stick, each one driving out three
hits. Fague's share was two singles and
triple, Berman's two singles and q
double and Fentfess' three singles. Fen.
tress in addition stole four bases.
Buck" Payne was in fine form and
held Takoma at q safe distance at al
stages. He was never In danger and il
was only when he let up that TakOma
scored at all. Three singles were all the
hits they were able to garner off his de.
livery. In addition to his twirling eff.
forts Payne drove out two triples and
accepted three chances without slip
up.
Plunkett made a fine running catch OF
a high foul fly off Nau's bat in the first
inning The ball was hit at least fifteen
feet back of the third base seats, but the
little Brightwood infelder tore around
the end of the benches and caught the
ball on the full run.
Brightwood made the high-water mark
for the season in hitting. Out of thirty
-FOUR men up, seventeen SaIe SWdtS were
made. Three of these were triples and
one a double. Every man on the Bright
wood team got at least one hit, except
Howells. who walked once and laid down
q sacrifice hit out of four times up.
Twice during the game Takoma tried
to work the time-honored hidden bal
trick on the Tramps. The first time it
failed because Rupert, who had the
ball, in trying to catch a man off third
base. threw the pill over the third sack
er's head. The next time, however, Nat
pulled the play off to perfection, getting

Pie Thief Was a Deer.

SOUTH NORWALK, Conn, August q
Frequent thefts Of vegetables. pies and
cakes from the pantry of Mrs. Benjamin
Beers in Westport aroused both her
anger and her curiosity. No tramps had
beer around, and she did not think a
pie-eating horse or COW could jump the
eight-foot fence around her plot.
She watched and was rewarded this
morning when she saw deer leap the
fence. cautiously approach the kitchen.

half of a rhubarb pie that were on the
window sill. Mrs. Beers cried out. The
deer jumped the fence and was off like
a shot, with the pie in his mouth.

seventeen feet in length and had twenty

While the Schuntmek mountains, in the
vicinity where the snake was killed, have

WINSTED. Conn. August DO fish
like music? That is a question fisher
men at Highland lake are trying to
solve. Every pleasant Sunday evening
$50 cottagers assemble in boats of

listen to a sermon by an able preacher

1t is a very noticeable fact. fishermen

the period of the sunset services than
at any other part of the day.

ROCK ISLAND BLAME THE STATES
Thinks Railroad Commissions Caused
Recent Rate Trouble.

Chicago, Nov. Is. H. Johnson, as
sistant freight traffic manager of the
Rock Island lines, declared before the
interstate commerce commission that
certain state railroad commissions are
causing more of the trouble between
the shippers and the railroads. John
sons statement was made while he was
being questioned by Commissioners
Franklin K. Lane and E. E. Clark, who
intimated their belief that the rail-
roads are not satisfied with regulation
because it limits their power to in
crease revenues.
The hearing on the proposed advances
in rates will be concluded today, it is
believed, and the evidence will then be
reviewed in Washington before a de-
ciSion is announced.
In conducting the examination or
Johnson, Commissioner Lane at once
previous to the existence of the Vari-
Gus commerce commissions.
why did you not get up to this rate
before these interfering commissions
came into eXistence?" asked Commits
Sioner Lane.
"State commissions are an embar-
rassment and all the trouble between
the shippers and the railroads could
be adjusted in satisfactory manner
If the different state commissions were
out of the way" replied Johnson.
You are not satisfied with regula-
ton because it limits your power to in
crease your revenue said Commits
sioner Lane, land you were not satisfied
with nonregulation prior to 1906 be-
cause you say that led to bankruptcy
now what will satisfy you? In 1906
you had an opportunity to set the rates
at a higher rate, yet your own and
other roads were placed in the HANDS
Of receivers. Now, we come along
Eyes, interrupted Johnson, I'VE might
get along famously with your honors
and colleagues if we did not have all
of these state commissions to contend
WITH
rs it not a fact said Commissioner
Lane, that you are laying these burd
ems on the interstate commerce COM
mission which were laid upon you by
the state commissioner"
81 do not see it that way replied
the witness. There is a conflict be-
tween the state and federal bodies to
control the railroads. If the response
bility was not divided it would be sim
plifed."
