promises of Southwest Texas as fig
and grape producing section prompted
a company of New York capitalists W

Especial to The Bryan Eagle

Especial 10 Inc Bryan tdBle.1
Austin, Texas, Jan. 6.-Texas again
leads the list of Southern states in the
number of miles of railroad built in
the past year. In 1910 204S.1 miles
were constructed in the South and
Southwest. OF this amount Texas built
791 miles, which is far in excess Of
any other Southern state. Develop
ment in proposed railroad construc-
ton for 1911 indicates that Texas will
still lead the South and Southwest

gins with 971 miles of proposed road,
part of which is already in course
of construction.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-Quick sealping
was the rule today in the wheat pit.
The crowd bought early and then
turned sellers on the resulting bulge,
These tactics were aided by the fact
that the Liverpool market showed q
rise, due TO the lightness of Argentine
shipments for the United Kingdom. ON
the other hand, mild weather in he
American winter wheat belt afforded a
reason for not staying too long with
the bull side. The opening was a to "
higher, with May covering h extreme
range at 1.011s to 1.01%. A decline 10
l007s followed.
Farmers were not selling corn freely,
and commission house demand was
sufficiently brisk to make the market
firm. May opened " to Is09s up, at
50sa to 6o%9h. reaeting later to b0A.
Oats, although very dull. improved a
trifie with corn. May started b4A
higher, at S4Ts@S5 to IS, but fell back
to 341s.
Provisions were easy, because of
lower prices for hogs. First sales went
s TO 1914 cents under last nights
figures. May options being disposed of
at 1886 for pork, 9.95 for lard and e.e5
to 9.971a for ribs.

M0RGAN'S FIRM APPROVES
THE CURRENCY REFORM.
Henry P. Dawson Is Hearty in
Commentator of Aldrich Plan.

NEW YORK. Jan. ga statement
issued from the offices Of J. p. Morgan
e Co. by Henry p. Dawson, of thai
firm, gives the Aldrich currency reform
plan the most enthusiastic Endorsement
it has received from any notable Wall
street source, The statement is as fol-
lows:
Senator Aldrich's plan is admirably
effective and simple. In the framing Of
the bill there may be various details to
work out, but the essential thing is
that the proposal as made is we'll fitted
TO all conditions and to ell secuons of
the United States. II possesses the ad-
yantages of the great central banks OF
Europe, and eliminates all the disad-
yantages, especially those that would
prove burdensome In this country be-
cause Of the peculiar conditions exist
ing here.
This plan is certainly representative
and most equitable. Each institution
in the United States would have fair
representation and opportunity TO avail
itself of the advantages of the reserve
association. In the second place. the
association is so s~afeguarded as to be
free from control by any special inter
est, and the supervising officers will not
be subject to political influences.
1.-THE proposed association renders ali
the service that would under any cir
cumstanoes be rendered by the clearing
houses, making 1t possible for a bank
promptly to realize upon Its assets.
The restrictions Of the Aldrich plan are
such as to insure the conservative use
of such facilities.
Such a Ian as Senator Aldrich has
outlined would give mobility to some
thirteen or fourteen hundred million
dollars now lying die In bank vaults.
The plan for assuming the note issues
of the national banks is one which can
not fail to appeal to all national bank
officers.
Il cannot help feeling that free and
honest discussion Of the whole proposal
will afford a basis for the solution OF
our credit and currency problems"

Judge George A. Carpenter, in the

for immunity on the ground that the
Immunity bath" given them by Judge
Humphrey in 1905 precluded h gov
from prosecuting them under
the present charges.
Technically, the plea is known as a
plea of abatement of a plea to quash
the Indictments. In 1906 Judge Humph-
rey granted the packers immunity from
criminal prosecution on the ground that
they had been called to give testimony
which the government sought TO use
against them in that trial.

TIMERS EXCITEMENT
ROBS KRAMER OF
new TRACK MARK
Frank Went So Fast F0gler
Stopped Watch In
consciously. p,

+ the Velodrome yesterday after
~ noon Frank Kramer showed a
burst Of speed In training that
made Floyd Mcfarland, Jackie
Clarke and Joe Fogler, his greatest
rivals, sit up and take notice. Every
one in the twenty or more professionals
who saw Kramer's great ride agreed
that 1t was the fastest bit of riding
that had ever beer done on a bicycle.
And the strange part of the perform
ance was that no one caught the time.
Yet they all enthusiastically pro-
claimed Il the fastest ever done.
Kramer was feeling good and went out
to beat q mark of Is 3-5 seconds for q
sixth OF a mile that had just been
made by Mcfarland and Fogler, each
going half a lap. The champion went
out to beat their time alone and Fogler
held the watch. Joe did not believe
the cham could beat Is 3-5, and the
only way he could be convinced was
by holding the watch himself.
Joe became so excited as he watched
Kramer's terrific speed that he stopped
the watch as Kramer was in the mid
die of the home stretch, with about Is
yards still to go. The watch showed
Il rs seconds, and the correct time
would probably have been about 10
seconds.
thur Duffey was to DOT racing. When
over Kramer has ridden he has broken
the ime-honored record for sprinting
on every track. Kramer set up new
marks on every track in Europe on
which he trained and the foreigners
have been breaking their necks ever
since trying to equal the American
champions figures.
II Fogler had caught Franks time
Yesterday a record would probably
have been hung up for the Velodrone
that would have stood forever.
with the championship season start
ing Sunday and Kramer riding better
than at any time in his career the 1911
title looks like a cinch for Kramer.
Fogler says as far as he is concerned
they can hand Frank the title right
now on a silver platter. mcfarland
admits Kramer has got his star beaten
right now, but he says wait--'walt
until that circuit is q few weeks old
and that marvel will be one OF us
again-just an ordinary or garden va
riety OF bike rider like all the rest of
U.s."
Champion Kramer will probably cut
in strong on the prize money Sunday
and Decoration Day. The two big
.races-the championship on Sunday
and the Stanley handicap on Deeora-
ton Day-appear to be at his mercy.
He will ride from scratch in the han
dicap, and the marks are big, but the
way Kramer is riding now no handi-
cap is too great to overcome.

TIGERS FAIL In
NINTH WITH BASES
FULL and NONE OUT
After Three Straight Singles
Cady Famed and Prick Hit
Into Double Play.

TvHE value of hitting when hits are
needed was never more clearly
illustrated than in the first game
OF the series which marked the initial
appearance of the Baltimore Orioles
here yesterday. The Tigers were hit
ting them where they weren't occasion
ally and outbatted the visitors, but
We're beaten by a score of 40.
The Tigers could not score a single
run on eight hits. Baltimore made four
runs IN seven hits; that was all the
difference. Not one of the orioles sep
tet of safeties, all made off Lee. went
to waste, every n of them figuring
some way in one of the four runs, and
all of them were made in four different
innings.
The Tigers could not get more than
one hit in any round except the ninth.
Then they got three on with none out,
and still they could not get a man
around. Then, too, Dygert had good
support. and when the Tigers did hit
they generally drove the ball into the
waiting hands of an opposing player.
Lee had good control, but he couldn't
get them over. The reason he couldn't
get them over was that the enemy bat
ted them back when they were over
the platter. Wyatt the Great was taken
out of the box in the seventh after the
Orioles had scored four runs on seven
hits. Shontz twirled in the eighth and
Parkin the ninth, neith,f allowing a
man to reach first.
"Holic'' Cady had a grand %opportu-
nifty to add to his laurels and win
undying fame in the ninth by a little
single with the bases filled and none
out. but II was the story of Casey
again, and there was no Joy in local
Mudville last night, for Cady struck
out. Meyer started the inning with d
hit to left. Kelly connected for g
single to centre, and Dalton nearly sep
arated Shortstop Maisel from his left
paw with a very vicious drive. and the
bases we're populous. Cady did the

but Frick hit to Dygert, and Dygert
threw to Egan forcing Meyer at the
plate, and Egan's relay to Schmidt at
first doubled Jimmy Prick before he
reached the bag.
All the Baltimore runs came In ones.
Meyers error on Rath, which gave HIN
a life, and another error by Aglcr
when Joe let Lees peg get away, put
the speedy Oriole on second in the
third inning. Corcoran brought him in
with a double to left. Heitmuller's
double. Walsh's force and a single by
MaiseI netted another run in the fourth
The third run came in the fifth when
Seymour singled. Rath singled, ad-
vanced on an infeld out, and then
Schmidt produced the necessary hit
FIR another market. Seymour's safety
and Corrigan's second double over
Kelly's dome was responsible for the
last run.
