sIDELIGHTs IN COACHES.
Great Convenience to Those Who
Travel by Night.


The railroads which have introduced
sidelights in their coaches. in addition
to the usual number of lights over the
aisle, are to be commended for this
evidence of a spirit of progress, says
the Railway Review. 1t is a remark
able fact that many railroads that
have made large OUTLAWS for pasSen-
ger equipment of modern build and
furnishings have nevertheless been so
careless of the lighting of these cars
and their stations that newspapers or
even literature of coarser print can
not be read at night without severe
strain on the eyes. The opportunity to
devote a few hours of evening to read
ing is one that is certainly sought by
a large class Of travellers Undue at
tention to dining and parlor car facil-
tiles will hardly compensate for lack
of ordinary light at night in coaches
and sleeping cars, and the manage
ments that have provided adequate
lighting for cars have contributed to
the advertising of their roads perhaps
better than they thought. It requires
very strong lights, indeed. to serve
car satisfactorily when such are dis
posed entirely by suspension from the
roof of the car, over the aisle. Side
lights over alternate seats. help out
very nicely and shed rays from an
angle that makes it unnecessary for
the reader TO screw his anatomy into
SOLAS cOuStIdluSQ pOSlLlOn l1dI Is OIIen
necessary where only high center
lights are used, in order to get the
strongest rays of light upon the read
ing matter or TO avoid holding it in
the shadow of the hat. A compare
lively small sum of money judiciously
expended for the real necessities of
travellers may often bring larger re-
turns in the way of public appreciation
than larger investments sin the finish
of coaches and the fight of trains

KAW BATTERY MEN NOT HERE.
Yesterday Was Reporting Day, But
the Players Did Not Show Up.

NO, there's nobody here but Dan."
Such was Manager Moore's reply
when asked whether his battery men
had arrived as asked to do yesterday.
The day was a cold and blustery one
and likely a ball player would not
show himself if he had arrived, but
the fact still remains he did not arrive.
OF course this little oversight on
the part of the players is nothing Sc
rious, but it isn't a nice way to treat
a new manager, very anxious to meet
his men. Doubtless they will apologize
later.
Anyhow, Danny Upton, the lola
twirler, who came in Tuesday, has
made hit by his promptness. Not
few of the others have not signed
up, it is true, and could hardly be ex-
pected to report for work. McGrath
and Alderman, pitchers, and George
Starnagle, catcher, are holdouts on
the battery list who are wanted badly
and who will have to come in or stay
out of the game. Butch Kerns, also
has neglected to sign his contract, but
this old Topeka favorite is not looked
to for any trouble.

preliminaries. Both these wrestlers
have been in Topeka several days
training for the bout and are in the
best Of condition. The fans are pick
ing Lennett to win this match. His
record throughout Nebraska and adj
joining states looks better on paper
that that of doctor, who is newer at
the game. Doctors home is at Belle
vile, Kan, and he claims the champion
ship of the state, though he has had
little competition here, having to go
east for matches. His latest wrestling
has been staged in Illinois.
The leading attraction is the George
Gion-Jack Miller match. The four
wrestlers are midd1eweights and have
had much experience, but Gion has
achieved the greatest success on the
mat in middle west. Miller, dubbed
Head Spinner Miller, from his art
of breaking away by whirling on his
head, is better known in the east and
particularly around New York, which
is his home. The management is as
sured of two very good matches and
promoted the bouts only after a
thorough investigation of the merit
of the men.
The seat sale indicates a repetition
Of the good house attracted by the
Hacken schmidt-W estergaard bout of
last week, the first of a proposed chain
of events and test of their accpta-
bility. Topeka has shown that it can
be as good a wrestling town as Des
Moines or Lincoln, both of which have
taken a big lead in the promoting Of
the game in the smaller cities.
All the men have agreed on Spencer
A. Abbott as the referee of their bouts
and he will officiate.
The price of stage seats has been cut
from $1.50 to 81 for this double event

LITTLE MONEY BEING WAGERED
The Wolgast-MeinsicF Fight Is Attract
ing. Much Attention. However.

Los Angeles, March 16-Although
scheduled for Friday afternoon be-
tween AID Wolgast, lightweight cham
pion, and George Memsic of Los An
geles at the Vernon arena is indicated
by a heavy seat sale, little money has
been placed on the result. This is due
largely to the question of odds. VOL
CAST supporters offer 10 to 7, while the
Memsic contingent is holding back for
to 1. Memsic sentiment is due part
ly to the fact that the local fighter will
enter the ring several pounds heavier
than the champion and that the latter
was slightly i'll for several days after
his arrival here.

HAS KENDRICK RESIGNED?
Vice President Storey Doesn't Deny
Rumor in California.

Not long ago the State Journal
printed a well founded rumor to the
effect that J. W. Kendrick, vice presi-
dent of the Santa Fe, had resigned and
his place was to be taken by W. B.
Storey, who has been at the head Of
the construction department This
story has been denied many times.
The San Bernardino (CaL) Sun ip-
terviewed Mr. Storey. who has been
acting vice president in the absence
of Mr.. Kendrick abroad, the other day
and he didn't deny the story-neither
did he confirm it.
Here is the interview:

remain in charge of the operating de-

RETRENCHMENT ON X. c. S.
An Order to Cut Down Shop Force at
PittSburg

Pittsburg. Kan, March 16.-An or
der was received at the offices of the
Kansas City Southern this week for
a reduction of force in all departments
at the shops. It is not known what
was the reason for this action and no
one seems to be in q position to I'M
derstand the cut in force. In all there
are about seventy men thrown out of
employment in this place and every
body is looking for another cut in
short time. Unless an order is received
soon to put the men back it will mean
that a number of the former en-
ployees of the Southern will have to
seek employment elsewhere
Another cut which also means a
great deal to the men LEFT in the sery-
ice is the cut in time. They are only
working eight hours day and five
days week. This makes a difference
of about twenty hours a week or in
all cuts off one-third of the time.

Matty Has a New Ball to Be Know

New York, March 16.-Fans here

veloped since last season by Christy
Mathewson of the New York Nation

friends of the Giants star pitcher,
who is said to be getting it into per-

camp.
The new ball is described as a very
slow double dip. The sphere is said to
float up to the batsman with all the
seams showing" Just in front of the
plate, 1t does double dip so deceiving
that even the catchers miss it until
after considerable practice. Mathew
son throws this ball after wetting his

Five years from now nothing but
steel cars will be used for carrying
the government mails. This Is stip-

to be used for such service after
January 1, 1915, and meantime the
old wooden cars will be worked off
and new steel ones put in in their
stead.
The new regulation was based on
statistics showing the destruction OF
mail matter and the loss of life result
ing from use of the present type of
wooden cars. Only a few years ago
a steel car was unknown.

4 MANOAMUS SUIT
 AGAINST SUPERVISORS
pr. Sargent Begins Action to Secure
 Contract for County Physician.

pr. William H. Sargent yesterday be- gan mandamus proceedings against the board of supervisors to compel the board to award him the contract for the care of the indigent sick of this county under the bid submitted by him in re- sponse to an advertisement for bids.
 It is stated in the complaint that there were three bidders: the plaintiff, whose bid was $40; DT. Grant $ MOni- cal. S79O. and Dr. R. NJ. Tafel, SS50. The contract was awarded to the last named The alternative writ has not yet been prepared.
 The action is similar to one brought against the board a year ago by the Phoenix Printing company, an unsuc- cessful bidder for the printing contract which had been awarded to the H. H. McNeil company. In tha: case the bids each included various items. As to some of them the bid of the plaintiff was lower and in other the bid of the McNeil company was lower.
 The court held that the contract should have gone as to each item to the lower bidder, so the contract un- der the order of the court was divided.
