BOYCOTT BY COMMUTERS
RidgefieId Park Leads the Fight
of New Jersey Travellers.

The New Jersey commuters living in
towns along the Susquehanna & Western
and the Erie railroads started a boycott
yesterday against those roads, and will
hereafter use the West Shore, because with
the beginning of the sale Of Communication
tickets for August the two roads put into
effect a substantial raise in their rates
which the commuters do not want to pay.
There is some protest against rate raising
by the Lackawanna, Contra Railroad OF
New Jersey and Pennsylvania roads but
those roads for the most part are the
only ones running through the centres of
dissatisfaction, and the travellers are
forced 10 pay UP without hope OF getting
the rates reduceu-
Ridgefeld Park, \. J.. will go down In
history as the Lexington OF the cOTmut-
ers' revolution against the railroads. Not
less than four hundred OF the protestants
placed q cast iron boycott on the Susque-
hanna and the Erie roads yesterday and
gave their patronage to the rival West
Shore, which will do everything in It's
power to hold the business. It offers
cheaper transportation to the commuters,
who will have to pay 81 % for their service.
IF they stuck TO the other two roads they
would have to pay an increase of 81 % over
il was said, will have a slip built near the
Jersey City Pennsylvania Railroad ferry
and viii run trains from Weehawlzen to
the Pennsylvania depot. so that the travel
Iers can get the facilities of the Hudson
tubes.
The Lackawanna commuters living IN the
Oranges are angry over the rate raise but
they all bought their August books yester-
day with no complaints. They had TO buy
the books or they couldn't get to their
homes. Most of them recognized the fact
that their fight was a losing one, and 1t is
likely that there may be no further pro-
test Montclair is in the same position as
the Oranges.
The fighting commuters are still critics.
ing the Interstate Commerce Commission.
which in a recent decision handed down
at Washington Informed them that it has
no power TO make the roads hold to their
old rates.

MORE PROFESSIONAL MATCHES
Recent Golf Tourney Stimulates Inter.
est in This Side of Game.

The recent championship tournament of
the Eastern Professional Golfers AssDcia-
ton seems TO have stimulated interest in
that department of the game, judging by
the exhibition matches that have taken
place since then and others that ''in
the air" Plans are making for a four-bali
affair to be held at the DuRwoodie Coun-
try Club some time IN the near future.
Jack Hobens. OF Englewood, and Isaac
Mackie. Of Fox Hills. have been men
toned as a probable pair TO team up
against Jack and Dan Mackie. Of Dun
woodie There is also talk Of having VIII
Anderson at DUnwoodie later on. He will
figure IN a foursome with an amateur
partner against Jack Mackie and some
DUnwoOdie member.
Jerome D. Travers, who severed his con-
nection from the MontcIa.r Golf Club a few
weeks ago, has Joined the Upper Montclair
Country Club. This viii make Travers
eligible 10 compete In the national amateur
championship at BrookIine next month if
he so desires. Little has been heard OF him
since his disappearance from the Apawamis
tournament.
After every championship tournament the
question is often asked, What are these
affairs for? In answer it has been said
that championships are held evidently to
pursuade the ordinary player OF the folly
and futiity OF his efforts.
The good sized galleries in attendance
during both days of the Eastern profess
sior1al tournament at Salisbury last week
caused general comment. In comparison
however, with the turnouts on the other
side the Salisbury gatherings were small
enough for II is a matter OF record that

Prescott, Ariz., Aug Joe Cans, the
former lightweight champion, who has
been in this city for months critically LII
with consumption. left here tonight for his

ENGLISH FOR THE CHINESE.

Compulsory study OF English will prove
no great hardship TO the pupils of Chinese
high schools. for by the time Chinese
boy has learned to write his own language
correctly his memory has been so wonder
fully developed that the acquisition Of an
her language proves comparatively easy.
without exception, every word in Chinese
when uttered is accompanied by its own
peculiar information, without which the word
would be lnintellieible. The same mono
syllable is often intoned in eight different
ways.-ChicagO News.

mand.
The Indiana fields were practically
idle yesterday, though the demand for
coal Is such that the mines could all
be worked to their full capacity.
Indiana coal operators are coming
here today for conference with rail-
road officials to see II there is any
way Of relieving the situation. Many
of the mines in Illinois are not work
ing to their full capacity because
there is not sufficient supply of
cars to haul the coal to the markets.
On account of the strike in the Illi-
nois coal fields all summer, which
kept the supply down to actual de-
mand, buyers were unable to supply
their yards as has been the custom in
former years.
"The situation is nothing short of
alarming" said J. T. O'Gara, head of
one of the largest producing concerns
in Illinois, last night. 1--WE could
turn out more coal if We had the cars
and other companies are in the same
fix. I do not believe there is weeks
supply of coal on hand in Chicago
and what will happen If there is a
sudden cold snap is more than can
tell"
