 In connection with the talk of . Gotch- -Hackenschmidt match, Dr. s. F. Roller the western champion, and former partner of Gotch, declared at Philadelphia Friday that the champion is afraid to wrestle Hackenschmidt with an unbiased referee to give the decision. "Gotch," said Dr. Roller, 'is the toughest wrestler on earth. He is tricky and treacherous and resorts to all corts of tricks to win his matches. He is afraid to meet Hackenschmidt, because the Russian would crush him in anything like a square deal. In the last match they had Gotch won the decision by unfair work, and Hacken- schmidt had no chance with the tac- tics Gotch was employing. The talk to wrest1e is all buncombe."

TRIPS TO THE SUN
Total Mileage Would Cover Dis
lance 333 Times.
Other Items Of General Interest
in Traffic World.
-IgF&l

New York, May 13.-That the resi-
dents of this city will within a genera
ton be spending $500,000.000 annually
for ten billion car rides is the almost
incredible report of experts who have
been studying this matter. Allowing
three miles as the average length OF
each ride this means that New Workers
before 1850 will be travelling 10000, 000,-
600 miles each year in subways, ele-
waited trains and surface lines.
In other words this annual travel
will be equal yearly to 100000 trips
around the earth or more than 5000 a
day. To make another comparison this
total mileage is equal to 1893 trips to the
sun, or nearly one a day, and to 10000
trips to the moon.
Enormous as these figures may seem
they represent a most conservative es~
innate based on the growth of the car
riding habit in this city during the last
half century. In 1860 the surface rail-
days in what is now Greater New York
carried 100000 passengers and in 1910
about 1900, 100000, q number just about
equal to the total population of the
rides last year and the total would
have furnished about seventeen rides
to every man, woman and child in the
whole country.
The ten billion nickels which it is
estimated will be collected annually by
TIE t1duS4L A4A4SS OO4OAo AoCV Will
sent a sum equal to one-half of the
present yearly expenditures of the fed
eral government.
That it will be necessary literally to
honeycomb the city with subways and
girdle 1t with surface and elevated lines
to handle the enormous traffic is now
foreseen, the only question being
whether there will be room enough 10
accommodate the transportation lines If
sufficient space is to remain in which
passengers can live and conduct their
business.

rate for carrying trunks more than 40
inches in length, it was predicted thAt
railroads throughout the country Will
adhere to the same rule. The Central
Passenger association already has
gone on record in favor of the 4O-inch
limit and other associations, it is be-
lieved, will not deem it advisable to
adopt different rule. When 1t was
announced some time ago that rail-
roads operating in various parts or
the United States were considering the
advisability of making an extra charge
for carrying freak" or extra sized
trunks of unusual dimensions and an
facturers registered q vigorous pro-
test. 1t was commended by the latter
that their business would be injured
by rapid decline in the demand for
trunks or unusual dimensions and an
appeal was forwarded to railroad Of
ficials for action against the plan.
1t is commended on behalf of the rail-
roads that more work is required in
the handling of these trunks and that
their owners ought to be required to
pay an extra amount for the service
rendered. Present plans provide en-
forcement of this rule after July l
next.

1t is the intention of the railroads
to have Jones or somebody pay the

no fruit. Here is the sad story of an

In order to comply with the laws of
Illinois, the three cars of lumber were

January 10, 1910. On that date the
freight charges amounted to S454.22;

the storage firm charged $3.50 for
lumber was in their yards prior to
