For the first time in Oklahoma, it is
now possible to purchase a passenger
ticket from one point to another in the
state where the trip has to be made
over two roads. This new arrange
ment is the result of ruling made by
the corporation commission after
hearing. at which the inconvenience in
the old method was charged. It was
also decided that the railroads would
have to check baggage from one point
to another. In the past it has been
necessary for the passenger to see to
the transfer when travelling over two
roads between points.
Official verificatiOn was given by the
New Haven management to the report

Moore Looking for Good Bunch
Of Men Then.
President Woodward Back From
Florida Ready for Season.

The first of the Kaws to report in
Topeka is Dan Upton, the young pitch
er of lola who played in the Eastern
Kansas league last season with the
Horton club. He came in last evening
with the determination to make good
and lost no time in getting under way.
He is a trim husky lad willing to work.
Upton says he saw King, another
youngster from Altoona, a short time
ago and the latter said he intended TO
be in Topeka the first day Of practice
and he is expected tonight.
The holdout colony keeps within the
same confines but is not worrying
Moore who is inclined to let them do
their own worrying and come in when
they get ready. Alderman, McGrath.
Starnagle, McLaurin, and Quinlan are
still on the holdout bench.
President Chester Woodward re-
turned from Sea Breeze, Fla, yester-
day feeling fit for the season. Some
plans for the repair of the ball park
are expected soon. One of the impor-
tant ones will be a more satisfactory
entrance. Probably wider passage
way will be cut under the stand on the
south side ushering patrons in on the
third base side instead of the first sack
line.
Manager Moore is watching anxious
ly the reports from the big league
training camps. He has several hopes
among the training players and wants
to jerk them out the moment there is
chance Of their being let go. The
trouble seems to be that these fellows
are making good in the choice COM
pany.
Just who these men are, Moore re-
fuses to state, saying he does not want
to create any joy which may have to
be dampened later.
Barney McGrath came down from
Carbonate yesterday and spent the
day around baseball headquarters but
Moore remained firm and the bean

Eventually McGrath will come in, per-

arrive and the sun gets hot

est in Traffic World.

It would be hypocritical to express
regret at the elimination Of Mr. Gould
from the railroad situation, says the
Wall Street Journal. OF course he is
let down easy with the Craftsmanship
of the board of directors, but no one
supposes that the new president OF the
Missouri Pacific will be responsible to
anybody but the controlling majority OF
the board, and that does not include
Mr. Gould. A comparison of the Gould
roads with other western railroads, st.
Paul, Northern Pacific, Atchison ana
above all the Hartman roads, shows
plainly enough wny the change was
inevitable.
From the time when z. H. Hartman
triur1 iJhantly showed what could really
Jt made of a great western system,
the Gould authority in railroad mat
tiers was doomed. E. H. Hartman still
lives, for his works do follow him,
while the old generation of railroad
financiers, the Russell Sages and Jay
Goulds have left no monument Re-
peated reconstruction have undone sill
the work they ever did, for the reason
that the work was so bad that it had
to be done over again. Railroad ex-
pansion has many years to run in
America before the country will be
adequately served; but our energies
must be turned to establishing the
unshakable base.
1t is curious to think that only 10
years ago the gossip of Wall street
turned on Gould brokers' Wander
biIt brokers' and other agencies of the
stock market owing allegiance to our
two greatest financial families. So far
as the stock market is concerned, that
feudal period has passed. The Van
derbilt ro2ds are so in little more than
name, large as the family interested In
them doubtless is. Gould brokers there
are none for Western Union, Manhat-
tan elevated, Wabash and now Mis-
souri, Pacific. have passed into other
and it must be confessed, greatly more
competent hands.
Nobody with the real spirit of de-
mocracy will repine. The hereditary
principle has serious defects in the
ownership of any property. 1t is alb
solutely paralyzing when exercised In
railroad management in such a coun-
try as this. Frequent changes of con-
troll may sound dangerous, but they
are favorable to railroad growth. Ten
roads Of the United States would final
ly come under one ownership. There
has been concentration since; but dis
indignation on a more considerable
scale has been the real feature of rail-
road history on any analysis of own
ership as it stands today.
Missouri Pacific's identity is not to
b. merged in that of any other sys-
tenn. It has natural merits of its own,
and when 1t gets the president it has
long needed a few years. prosperity
viii place it in the position 1t should
have occupied long ago.

In speaking of his contest he realizes
that he has the hardest man of his career

wonderfully muscled men in his class.

himself the last two years, defeating all
corners in his class. barring none, and the

As We understand the PROPOSE

the necessary rights of way for
such line between this City and
Jeanerette. Other rights of way
will be sought to Berwick; also
franchises through the several
towns. In addition to these prl-
vilsgss a two-mill tax will be ask
ed from all of that territory which
will be directly served by tho line.
1t is proposed to locate the pow
er plant of the line at this point.
The site for tho station has been
secured.
1t is further proposed to carry a
line of rails from this city up
through St. Martinville and Breaux
Bridge to Lafayette. 1t is under
stood that the carrying out OF these
plans is contingent upon the seve-
raj sections and towns meeting the
promoters half way by giving DO.
