Attorney Charles w. Darr, one Of the

who has been working for the further

ing to ask his attitude toward a bill for
universal transfers in the District

Senator Works says that a similar stu

because shortly after the universal trans

Not Now Ready.
Senator Works said he was not now
ready to introduce bill for universal
transfers. He will give the subject at

railway situation in the District and into
the transfer bills which have been before
Congress in recent years.

SENATOR STONE SPEAKS
FOR RECIPROCITY BILL
Denies That Wages In Canada Are
Lower Than in United
States.

Denouncing as a Misrepresentation of
facts the contention that wages in Cana
da are IS per cent lower than in the
United States. Senator Stone Of Missouri,
in a speech in the Senate today. under
took to show that there is an active prop
uganda to injure the Canadian reciprocity
bill. The speech is the first OF three on
the reciprocity bill which the Missouri
senator intends making. He dealt today
especially with the comparative wages
and the comparative prices Of live stock
in the two countries.
Quotes Tariff Board Report.
In support of his contention he read
extensively from the report Of the tariff
board a table quoting the monthly wages
paid to farm laborers in Saskatchewan,
Canada, at 1854. and in North Dakota
at $3.50.
II invite the prayerful attention Of my
friends, the senators from North Dakota,
to this report from their tariff board"
he said. He did not believe they would
the report, but, as for himself,
he doubted whether the report had done
justice to the Canadian wage scale.
Comparison Of Wages.
Mr.. Stone undertook to show that
the wages paid in tho eastern prov
inces of Canada are substantially the
same as those paid In tho eastern
states. Quoting for New York. Michi-
gan and Ohio, he said that the average
monthly wage is $22.50. while In New
Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario It il
$22.4s.

Betting In the grand stand is bad

sMoTHERED BY HYPHENs.
Played Good Bal-Long Hit and Diff
cult Catch BY Grow Features.

Until the beginning of the fourth in
phens at Island park was interesting.
In the fourth the visitors, aided by hits
and errors, made three runs and after
that everything went their way. The
score was II to g The local team was
dopey and errors of commission and
omission came so thick and fast that at
times the exhibition was laughable Nc
Gowan lasted six and two-thirds innings
and then Jackson relieved him. He
proved as Intellectual as the former Hy
phenite and six hits were made off him,
but he had worked in three previous
games that week and had a sore arm.
To tell of the bonehead work done by the
local infield would take up too much
space. Ask anyone who was there. Will
liams and the entire Hyphen aggregation
noon immensely.
The Hyphens' scored their runs on err
rors and hits in the first sixth, seventh
and eighth innings. Vance was guilty of
three errors that aided in the score max
ing, while Murray, Ensign and MCGOWAN
fell short in the pinches Wachtel and
Grow made pretty two-baggers Grows
hit being one of the longest seen on the
local grounds this season. Grow also
added to the features by almost dupli-
ca ting his spectacular catch of a foul

Hyphens played here.
The Islanders two runs were made in
the seventh on hits by Mcleod, Wachtel

winning the game Monday afternoon bet
every cent he had with him. sos, and then
because the Brattleboro betters were
yelling for more of his cash and calling
him a "quitter" he bet his coat and hat,
losing both his money and the clothing.
In the series with Bellows Falls Brat
tleboro took 10 out of II games. With
the Hyphens the standing was to in
Brattleboros favor, and with Keene to
against us. Keene took seven out of
IL games with the Hyphens and broke
even, and 6 with Bellows Falls.
Against the Hyphens Bellows Falls won

The state championship series which
Bennington has already won is attract

than our league champions. This must
in fairness be conceded But it is well
TO remember that the Remington team
cost at least so. per cent more than our
aggregation. q
Bosk went to his home in Fitchburg
, Monday evening and went yesterday to
Utica, in the New York state league. He
will finish the season with that team.
II is reported that Howard Earle, a
Pittsburg scout came here to watch
Vosk work and went to Bellows Falls
Monday morning expecting to see him
in the box. He came here again in the
afternoon and watched the boy and after
the game was instrumental in having

ought to have gone to the Islanders by
a score of l to 0.
The Bennington aggregation. which
was absorbed by the teams of the
Twin State league when the Ben

all their runs in the first inning. Prin-
dell and Connors flied out and Carolan

and scored on McCrehan's grounder down
the third base line. Finnegan reached
first on an error by Vance, scoring Nc
