Charles Tilton. sheriff of Lincoln

visit with his school day chum, Frank
Flenniken, deputy United States mar

coin county four years. There are q
few more than LOO people in the
county. "In the last four years" re-
marked Tilton, 1.-THE longest session of
court we have held was three days. I
think the shortest was an hour and a
half. You sure can't expect a man to
get rich in the sheriff's Office when
there isn't any litigation. This reform

take the outside finish that can be put
on wood, and as present constructed
many of these cars look like huge
steel tanks. After a few trips the
paint begins to peel off the metal.
Postal clerks and baggagemen, how
ever, have shown favor for these heavy
cars and the policy of the railroads
is to put the steel cars ahead first,
eliminating the lighter wooden struc-
lures that are hauled in the front end
of trains and that crush first when a
crash comes.

Las Vegas, n. NJ, Oct. 27.--Dis-

on the New Mexico division of the
santa Fe railway within short time
Linemen have been working for sew

railway telephone lines between here
and albuquerque. Today they began
working toward Ration When that
line is completed, it is likely, the sys-
tenn will be put into use. Eventually
tba line will he extended to La Junta
and. doubtless, will be run south from
Albuquerque on the coast lines.
Dispatching by telephone is nothing
new for the Santa Fe. 1t has been
in use on the middle division in kanass
for Yoanv months. The first telephone
lines to be put in use in Kansas in
railway work were put up in the spring
of 1907. They worked so well that the
telephone has supplanted the tele-

HELP FOR OHIO.
Taft VIII Send Two Cabinet Members
Into the Campaign.

washington, Oct. 27.-President Taft
has decided to send two of the MEM
bers of his cabinet to Ohio to take part
in the last week of the campaign for
the Republican ticket. Secretary OF
State Knox will speak at Cincinnati
November and at Columbus Novem-
Der ?. Secretary of the Treasury Mac
Veagh will make several speeches.
Recent reports from Ohio received in
the capital have been anything but en-
couraging to the Republicans. Strong
pressure has been brought to bear on
the president since his recent visit 10
Cincinnati to assist the campaign man
ayers in his state by sending cabinet
officers and other speakers of national
prominence to Ohio to help out on the
closing weeks of the campaign.

In winning from the Colorado Aggies

methods and Coach Cassidy is going TO

This touchdown was made as fol-

line and returned five yards. He then
punted to the center of the field.
Quarterback Stuver of the Aggies at

with and the ball was picked up by
Eaton of the Mines, who ran fifty
yards for a touchdown.
This touchdown will be protested on
two counts:

BIG ORDERS FOR STEEL CARS.
Lehigh Wants Sixty-A Standard on
First Glass Roads

New York metal trade reports show
that the Burlington has placed an or
der for six steel postoffice cars, and
that the Lehigh Valley is in the mar
ket for sixty steel cars. Orders for
steel cars are being placed daily. Al
ready some of these cars are becoming
common on western passenger trains.
The Rock Island, Northwestern and
Burlington trains frequently contain
them. The Rock Island has many all
steel trains on their lines. The Union
Pacific has been pioneer in their use.
Notwithstanding the greater dura-
bility and safety found in the use of
these cars, railroad men find some OBJ
iections to them. They say a steel car,
after being out for two or three trips,
loses its polish, and that the pretty
trains that roads have boosted of in
the past will in a few years be a
thing of the past. The metal will not

patton of any rumbling sounds which
may emanate from 165 Broadway, New

hesitated some time last night before
they decided a scrimmage was neces-
sary. Finally they were agreed that
no harm would be done and that the
men needed some further work in that
line before Saturday. The scrubs were
lined up against the varsity and all in
structed to work easy through the plays
perfecting defense and direction of Of

ing smoothly and the coaches told the
men to extend themselves. The result
was highly satisfactory just then
Franklin got tangled in the interfer-
ence and Bluefunk came back on the
job.

form and Tomlinson shows no improve

chance to play against Kansas. Hardy

his nerve. Whitcomb will be back for
practice tonight and ought to lead the
plays we'll Saturday. What will happen

Over at Lincoln the Cornhuskers are
pointing their guns at Kansas Novem-
Der 5, directly over the heads of Doane
college players whom they meet Sat
urday. Coach Cole seems to have it
doped that the valley honors will lie
between his bunch and Kennedy's.
Harry Ewing, assistant coach of the
Nebraskans, watched the Kansas
Drake game and was impressed with
their strength. The Lincoln Star says
of Kennedy's tactics for that contest
Kennedy only sent in his regulars
at spells, putting d team of substitutes
in to start the game. Hall, the regular
quarter, played all but the second
quarter when Tommy johnson acted as
team general. Tommy also dropped in
at full in the fourth period of play.
Ammons, the crack end played less
than half the game. Throughout the
contest close as it was, Kennedy re-
fused to uncork a trick play, straight
football being the only thing uncovered.

 OF NEW HAVEN
 COMMISSIONERS
Special from United Press.)


 New Haven, June 13.-The promised sensational disclosures, in the inves- tigation by a committee of eight state Senators and Representatives 1n- to the conduct of New Haven county affairs by County Commissioners gracefully sidestepped and postponed for two weeks when at the meeting of the committee this afternoon set June 27 for the taking of evidence.
 Formal charges were made by the civic federation and Attorney c. M. Robinson as a taxpayer which indicate that the evidence will then be produc- ed tending to show that the present county commissioners are incompetent, particularly in the conduct of the county jail, that Commissioner Walter has been financially interested in an agency that controls a large part of the county business Other charges practically place upon the shoulders of the commissioners responsibility for the recent fatal fire at County jail in which five firemen lost their lives.
 The investigation committee. in an executive session which preceded the well-attended public hearing, decided made in writing and should be pre- scented to the committee through the attorney for the civic federation.
