GOTCH TO RETIRE.
Through With the Wrestling Game,
He Says.

Chicago, June Frank Gotch says
he will now retire to his farm in Iowa.
In a statement after his defeat of
Zbyszko last night, he said:
Il won and now I am through with
the wrestling game. am SO years old
and it will be the simple life for me in
the future. A good many wrestlers
have waited too long and have been
beaten. 1 am going to try to avoid
that. The first fall with Zbyszko came
as I had planned it; the second was
hardin fact as tough bout as 1
have been in. There was no time
wasted and I could not have thrown
the Pole before I did. 1 will leave for
the coast and see if can help Jeffries
out, and then there will be long rest
coming to me-
Zbyszko said: at was no disgrace
to be beaten by a man like Gotch. He
is a cyclone That is what you call
it. is it not? 1 had hoped to defeat
the champion and take the title back
to Europe with me. Now, since I have
lost I am going home just the same a s
fast as the boat will carry me. I have
no protest on the first fall. 1t is true
I was not set and had at least expect
ed to shake hands with my opponent.
I was slightly hurt in the second bout,
which to some extent accounted for my
defeat"

OLDFIELD IN X. C.
He Talks About Auto Racing and
AeropIanes.

Kansas City, Kan, June BERNARD
Eli Oldfeld arrived in Kansas City
last night. He was accompanied by
Mrs Oldfeld and his 20e-horsepower
Benz.
I've never ridden in an aeroplane,
and I don't want to particularly. I'll
never do it as business, because
there's not enough money in it. You
see. you can't charge admission to see
an air race"
The conversation drifted from aero
planes to the breaking of motor rec
ords. The Speed King" as he is
called by his press agent, is modest,
but not too modest. Also. he is frank.
There's a speed limit" he said,
'and it's pretty nearly reached I've
been saying that good many years
now. and I've been believing it right
along. The thing that will limit the
speed maniacs is the tire and rim of
the wheel. A tire will stay on when
its car is going at .125 miles"

STILL DISTURBED.
Stocks Continue to Move Downward on
Wall Street.

New York, June 2-The stock market
today gave early evidence of the contin-
ued disturbance felt on account of the
federal governments move against freight
rate advances The reduction in the Off
cial discount rate of the Bank of England
caused sharp advances in the London
stock market but the New York market
had very little benefit from that.
After a spotty and unsettled opening the
whole market turned weak and very large
blocks were unloaded The first price of
ST. Paul was at an advance of point
over the closing price of yesterday but it
had fallen to 21h below yesterday in the
course of half an hour. This was more
than point below the lowest price touch
ed in yesterdays slump. The declines
rally followed.

THIRTY CASES GO OVER.
For Re-Argument Before Full Su-
preme Court Bench.

Washington, June 2s--Owing to the
presence of only seven members on
the bench, 80 cases heard at the term
of the supreme court of the United
States which ended this week. must be
re-argued next term. The number is
almost unprecedented, though it is
somewhat misleading, as many of the
cases will be heard at the same time
The fifteen cases involving the con-
stitutionality of the corporation tax
were heard as one case and doubtless
will be so presented at the next hear
ing; the two cases involving the Ques-
ton as to whether the penalty for vio-
lating the 2S-hour law for the trans
portation of live stock shall be deter
mined by the individual shipments or
by the train; two suits bring the disso-
luton of the tobacco corporations; two
more cases involve the validity of in
dictments for grazing sheep on forest
reservations without permission of the
government; two others the use of the
waters of the Walker river in Cali
fornia and Nevada, and still two more
cases the enforcement of the Okla
homa prohibition laws in, interstate
shipments.
Other cases to be reargued are the
dissolution suit against the Standard
Oil corporation the case involving
the constitutionality of the hours of
service law for railroad employees; and
that arising out of the use of the wa
ter of the Upper ella river in Arizona
for irrigation.
Only six cases argued remained
without action upon the docket when
the court adjourned for the summer.
OF these, the only one of general in
terest was that involving the rights of
forwarding agencies to demand carload
rates from railroads.

DEMOCRATS ARE FOR 1T.
Senate Fixes the Railroad Bill to Suit
Everybody.

Washington, June 2.-In view of
the adoption of the Overman amend
ment relating to injunctions it is re-
ported that practically all Democratic
senators will vote for the railroad bill.
The senate today adopted an amend
ment offered-by Senator Burton requir-
ing the interstate commerce commits
sion to report concerning uniform
classifcations and another. by La Fol-
lette requiring railroads to keep in
Washington agents who may accept
service.
Another amendment by Senator La
Toilette requiring the interstate COM
merce commission to make semi-an.
nual analysis of tariff and classified.
tions was adopted
During a discussion with Senator
Sutherland on one of his amendments
to the railroad bill, Senator La Fol-
lette told the Utah senator he would
be called to account for his record.
Sutherland retorted that he already
had such experience and was willing
to meet it again.
The Crawford amendment modify
ing the commodities clause of the Hep
burn rate act was rejected by a viva
voce vote.
An amendment offered by Senator
OVerman regulating the suspension of
state laws by the issuance of injunc-
tions in introductory proceedings in
federal courts was adopted by 33 to 2S.
Senator La Toilette offered a sub
stitute for his amendment heretofore
adopted, placing telegraph. telephone
and cable companies under the juris-
diction of the interstate commerce
laws. The substitute would prohibit the
use of franks or special rates by in
dividuals or corporations, but would
permit the governing special rates
to newspapers and to the government
1t was adopted without debate.

SEEKS AN INJUNCTION.
Santa F'e Brings Action Against Inter
state Commerce Commission.

Suits involving. nearly half a million
dollars were filed in the United States
circuit court today by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company,
and its branch companies, against the
interstate commerce commission. The
suit grows out of the order of the COM
mission prohibiting the charge of a
special rate for switching cars in Los
Angeles and San Francisco. An in
Junction is asked to prevent the put
ting into effect of an order made in
April of this year by the commission.
The petitions recite that certain
jobbers of Los Angeles are given
great advantage over the average ship
per by the spurs or tracks built from
the railroad yards to the doors of
their establishments, whereby cars
may be switched from the yards to the
plant of the firm to which the con-
tents of the car are consigned. A
charge of $3.50 is and has always been
made for this service, and this charge
is greatly less than the drayage upon
carload lots of freight would amount
to. 1t is declared the switching often
consisted of moving cars from LIS
miles to six or seven miles and that
the charge made was reasonable.
Two years ago, it is cited, the job
bers of Los Angeles and San Francisco
each filed complaint against the COM
panies with the interstate commerce
commission asking that an order pro-
hibiting the charge be revoked. In
April of this year the requests of the
shippers were granted in that the com
panies were prohibited from making
this charge for two years.
The court is asked to restrain the
commission from putting into effect
the order recently made and from en-
forcing the same. The two cases, one
from Los Angeles and the other from
San Francisco, are exactly similar.
Suit is brought in this district because
the principal Office of the Santa Fe is
located here.

Doxey, accused of poisoning William ].
Erder, took the witness stand in her own
defense in Judge Grimm's court today
She denied emphatically all connection
with the death of Erder, even remotely,
and excused her other acts on the ground
that she was the victim of the morphine
habit.
The defense's attorney announced that
they expected to complete their side of
the case today. In that event the argu-
rnent of counsel probably will begin tomor-
row and the case reach the jury by Sat

FORM JUNIOR AMATEUR SOCCER LEAGUE

The meeting was called to order by
Temporary Chairman William Taggart,
of Kearny, with c. Mcmahon acting as
temporary secretary.
The first action taken after roll-call
was the selection of a name for he
new organization, and after a general
discussion by all present the new league
was christened the Intercity Amateur
Junior Soccer Football League.
The new league was then notified by
Michael Murray, the well-known patron
of sport in Newark. that he would do
nate a silver cup, second to none, to be
played for annually by the league
teams. The offer was accepted by the
new body and a vote of thanks was ex-
tended to Mr.. Murray for his generous
gift.
Chairman Taggatt appointed a COM
mittee consisting of one representative
from each club to draw up a constitu-
ton and bylaws and draft a schedule,
both of which will be presented to the
league at it's ext meeting Saturday
evening.
Owing to the large number of appli-
cations, a resolution was passed that
the league should consist of twelve
clubs or less; that the two remaining
vacancies should be filled at the next
meeting; that all clubs be invited to
apply for membership, and the two
showing the strongest line-ups be
elected.

"a OBJ GANLEY might aptly be
ID called the Willie Keller of the
Eastern League" for there is no
batter in the Powers organization
who is a more scientific sticker or who
a lay down the ball in better style
when a bun is needed. Ganley, too,
is there with the gray matter, a
thing which Newark fans discovered
long ago. No pitcher ever knows just
what Bob is going to do when ne
shoulders his toothpick and steps up
to the plate. A sample of his heady
playing was seen by the a n in the
first Rochester game after thinner
mans single had scored two runs and
the Tiger thirdsacker vas on second.
Everyone, including the Rochester
bunch, expected Ganley to hit the ball
a mile. Instead he laid down a bunt
that Joe Ward reached after Bob was
perched on first.
Ganley was born and has spent most
of his life in Lowell, Mass. He began
his baseball career in 1899 with the
Brockton, Mass, Club of the New Eng
land League. From Brockton he went
to Albany in the New York State
League where he played for three sea
sons. Ganley was improving all the
time and soon began to attract the at
tention of the scouts. He was drafted
by Columbus and after playing there
a year went to Milwaukee in the Amer
lean Association.
Bob then spent a couple of summers
