Traction Fight
in Cleveland Ends
People Approve Franchise Drawn by
Judge Taylor by Over Eight
Thousand Majority.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 1Sr-Turning out to
vote In a bowling blizzard, the people Of
Cleveland yesterday ended the fight for low
street car fares, begun fifteen years ago,
and latterly made famous by Tom L. John
son in his four terms as mayor.
The new franchise, proposed by Judge
Robert w. Tayler of the federal court, was
approved lrh a referendum election by a
majority of $500. the largest majority ever
given to a public measure in Cleveland.
The grant Is said to be a hitherto untrled
experiment in municipal control of the
profits of public utility corporations.
The basis Of the franchise Is hat street
car service under control OF the. city must
be furnished by the Cleveland Railway
company at cost, plus 6 per cent to the
stockholders on their investment.
For the first eight months the fare will
be 8 cents, with a penny charge for a trans
fer. The maximum rate OF fare allowed
during the term of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
years-is 4 cents cash or seven tickets for
% cents. A street railway commissioner

down the slippery surface of the incline
is intensely exciting, After a start is
made there is no turning back, and the
girls have no time to think of their back
hair or anything else except to hold on for
dear. life. OF course, when. such terrible
speed is attained, a spill might result
disastrously, but such accidents as occur
infrequently are due entirely to careless7
ness. A sled may be capsized II the weight
is not properly distributed, and a rear-end
collision may occur II a heavily loaded
sled is started after a lighter one without
allowing ample time to elapse, The steer
ing is done by sticking one foot out be-
hind like a rudder. The big slides are
very carefully managed in order to provide
good service and prevent unpleasant oc-
currences. A corps of care takers are in
charge. and season tickets are sold to
only as many as can be conveniently ac-
commodated.
Snow-shoeing is another standard winter
pastime Of ~the/Canad!ans. and 1t frequently
is resorted to for purposes Of utility as
we'll as pleasure. 1t is not so difficult to
learn as skating. The novice can start
right off, provided his shoes are properly
strapped on. The trick of successful snow

not one of sliding as in skating; it is
merely walking on-the framework bottoms
which are wide enough to prevent sinking
into the snow. One cannot go forward as
rapidly on snow-shoes as he can walk over
hard ground in ordinary footwear, but he
can pass rapidly over deep, soft snow In
which he would certainly become stalled
without them.
Curling is another sport in which tn,
Canadians are expert. Although Originally
from Scotland, as far as can be learned
the game has reached a greater perfec
ton in Canada, In Scotland II Is played
In the open, while in the Dominion It Il
played in covered Kinks, usually as az

P ostal Savings
Bank Bill VIII
Pass the Senate
Amendments by Root and Smoot that
Threatened to Wreck Measure
to Be Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-Assurrances of
the passage through the senate Of the
postal savings bank bill practically were
given President Taft last night at a confer
ence in the White House. The house was
represented at the conference by Repre-
sentative Weeks Of Massachusetts, chair
man of the committee of postoffices. The
others who took part in the conference
were Senators Penrose, chairman Of the
committee on postoffices and post roads;
Aldrich, Root, crane and Carter, the last
measure.
It is understood on good authority that
the amendments offered and pressed by
Senators Root and Smoot will be with
drawn. That offered by the New York
senator provides for the investment of
postal bank funds in government bonds,
while Senator Shoots amendments is
Numerically opposed to this plan, prohibit
ing the withdrawal of such funds from
local banks, in which they may rave been
deposited.
The agreement of both senator's to recall
their amendments in the interest of haf-
mony clears the way for quick consider
alton of the bill.
Tonight amicable solution of the snar
into which the savings bank bill was
forced is interpreted by the majority in
congress as indicated that practically all
of the so-called administrator measures
win be advanced by similar methods. The
postal bill will be taken up tomorrow.

Some Things You Want to Know
Canadian Winter Sports.

1t was played in the open couAtry with an
unlimited number of players upon each
side. In the big games which were played
on certain occasions, one entire tribe would
be pitted against another. Later, when
contests were -inaugurated between picked
squads of Indians and whites, the red men
invariably won. But after %stricter rules
had been imposed the hardy braves grad
ually lost their prowess, until now there
is no Indian team that can hold it's
against the white players.
Skating is the universal pastime Of
Canada. 1t is not unusual for a native to
learn the stroke at 8 years of age and to keep
in practice until he is 60. The winter at
homes given out-of-doors at Government
House in Ottawa, with huge bonfires TO
provide light and heat for those in at
tendance, are most enjoyable affairs. on
account of skating being 80 popular in
Canada It follows that there is a demand
for skates of approved style and quality.
The expert will have only those made OF
the finest tempered steel. All those who
engage in sports, such as hockey and rae
ing, and most of those who skate for
pleasure, use runners that are attached to
a special pair Of strong boots that lace
tightly about the ankle for support.
In the scrimmage which occurs during
the skating games 1t frequently happens
that skates are broken, and as a precautior
against accidents Of this kind, those whC
take part usually nave finely sharpenet
duplicate pairs in their dressing rooms
There is one point concerning skating
which should be noted. 1t does not follow
that an athlete who is all exceptionally
fast runner will be an equally swift skater
in fact, the rule seems to be rather to the
contrary. Skating Is an art In itself, this
knack Of which some possess naturally anC
which others cannot attain with any
amount of practice.
Another popular form of amusement Ia
Canada during the winter season is tn
togoggan slide, the parent of the existing
chutes." The best slides are natural hills
with a short. steep drop at the beginning
10 giye momentum, followed by a loni
Gradual descent leading to a level plai
below. There is a slide in Montreal fol
loR!nS this description which is a mile 4
ic2g.h and the entire course has bee
made In fifty-nine seconds. Unlike tn
chute-the-chutes there is No mechani
cal arrangement for TRANSPORTATION u
the incline. and IT takes fully hal
a hour to retrace the ground that may b
covered In less than a minute OF the wa
down. When there is a large crowd o

a party can make in an evening.
II is needless to say that this wild fllGh

member Of the Groneweg g. Schoentgen
company Of Council Bluffs took a similar
view Of the situation. Mr.. G%roneweg, how
ever, said: Canned meats are certainly
somewhat higher than formerly. but in
nearly all other lines OF canned goods the
prices are not high. Rice is lower now than
II ever was before"
Rice as an article Of food admits Of

The meeting yesterday, as usual, was
held behind closed doors. There was a
large attendance and nearly all Of the
wholesale and jobbing houses having MEM

scented.

I'm Case Involving Theft OF
Diamonds.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-"Custom has de-
cided that a woman's pillow is her safe
deposit vault at night and such can be
considered judicially as safe a place for
the security of her Jewels or other val
ubles as the vaults of the United States
treasury"
. Justice Foster of the general sessions
court handed down this opinion today in
declining to return to pawnbrokers, with
whom they had been pledged, jewels to the
value of nearly 5000, which had been
stolen from Ida Emerson Hills. Miss Hills
had put the jewelry under her pillow when
retiring with her mother after a New Years
night party In the house of her brother-in-
law, Charles II. Zimmerman. When she
awoke the next morning she found the
jcwelry had been stolen and Zimmerman
had disappeared. Zimmerman was arrested
and today was sentenced to Sing Sing for
the theft.
The pawnbrokers claimed that Miss Hill
had been guilty of negligence in not put-
ting her 1ewelry in IA safe place. Judge
Fcfter's dlctum upset their claim.

consider that the creamery men are be-

The Line

While some Of the strong copper
stocks showed a decided decline on the
local exchange this morning. Tintic
securities continued to move up and
added bouyancy to the market All the
Tintic dividend payers were much
stronger, probably on account of tho
fact that 1t will be announced this week
just how much Iron Blossom and Colo

lieved that the quarterly dividend from
each OF these two mines will not be
less than 10 cents. while Sioux Consoli-
