SURPRISE TESTS" ON ALTON.
Officials to See If 1'rainmen Obey
Their Orders.

Kansas City, Mo-. April 6.-The
Chicago & Alton has announced its
adoption of a system OF surprise" or
efficiency tests for trainmen, some
times known as emergency tests, to
determine the extent to which men
obey the operating rules and respect
signal warnings. The Alton formerly
had such a system in effect, as have
many of the leading lines having a
large mileage of automatic signals.
At various points along the system
it is proposed secretly to reverse sig
nails, drop torpedoes or fuses and 9TH
erwise carry out illustrations of the
rules, so that a committee of officers
may observe how careful the engin-
GERS and trainmen are in looking out
for emergencies

President WincheIl.
Kansas City. Mo-, April 6-The st.
Louis & San Francisco railroad is just
trying tc be good citizen, that's all.
Yes, it is saving what money it can
by reasonable and judicious economy.
No, it has abandoned no projects be-
cause of unfriendly legislation or court
decisions because it had no projects to
abandon.
Further than that B. L. WincheH,
president of the road, had nothing to
say, and B. F. Yoakum. president of
the board of directors, had less. They
were. at the Union depot on their way
to Fort Worth.
Mr.. Winchell could not answer for
any other railroads attitude toward
the rate decisions. He thought it
probable other roads also might find it
necessary to economic, but he didn't
know. Speaking for the Frisco, it was
doing the best it could to keep its
service up to the standard. There had
been no curtailment of that, and there
would be none. AS for expanding, the
Frisco was not doing any.
And Mr.. Winchell would have to be
excused from saying anything fur

HOPPE STILL IN PARIS.
Billiard Player Still ContendiDg With
Cure, French Champion.


New York, April 6.-WilIie Hoppe,
holder of the worlds championships
at ISL and 49, balk line billiards, is
still playing in France. despite the
papers which were served upon him
by the Paris police shortly after his
arrival, calling for his departure from
the country within "a hours. Accord
ing to cablegrams received by his
father, the matter was satisfactorily
settled and the young. champion has
been making record performances
ever since.
Cure, the French champion, who is
Hopes opponent, is playing most I'M
evenly, but the young American con-
tinues to show his ability to work up
runs of three figures. A list of his
best runs in recent games is as fol-
lows: 372, 346, 1923, POI and 201.>
After three months in Paris, Hoppe
will tour Switzerland with his bride,
returning to this country in the early
fall for a match with either Ora
Morningstar or George Sutton.

CoMIsKEY INsUREs PLAYERS.
In Case of Illness or Accident Magnat'
Is Protected by Policies.

Chicago, April EN- an effort to
protect himself from loss of money as
we'll as of services where his players
become i'll or are injured Charles A.
Comiskey, owner of the Chicago Amer
leans, has had each player insured.
This plan had been under consid-
Grafton by Comiskey ever since Sui
livan was injured in California last
year, and when Blackburne was put
out of the game with a bad knee in
Texas, it settled the question with the
South side magnate.
The insurance secured covers acct
dents, illness or death from any cause.
The policies taken out by Comiskey
call for $4,000 in case of death from
accident or illness and the other dam
ages range as in most policies of the
kind. In case a player is unable to
play owing to illness or accident,
President Comiskey will receive S25
per week so long as the athlete is out
of the game.

and Minneapolis 2.42 cents. The reas-
on for this larger cost is given as the
exceptionally severe grades, which not
only increase the consumption of pow

equipment and, by delaying the nat
ural course of traffic, largely enhance
the cost of trainmen labor. Outside
of this, however, the cost of equipment

Omaha Bee: Pa Rourke surely has
occasion for pride in the work Of his
team as exhibited. When it is recall
ed that the men have had very little
chance for practice, while the Chicago
team is but just returned from long
and carefully managed preparation,
the comparison between the two is all
in favor of Omaha. And to call the
White Sox "Yannigans" isn't quite
fair, for the team that played in Oma-
ha had on the field several of the vet
eran members of Comiskey's great
baseball machine.
The Omaha players showed up in
fine form. Durbin's pitching was of
the giltedged kind; Schipke showed
why he was rated as first class fielder
when he was in the American league;
Kneaves and Kane suffered nothing by
comparison with Parent and Collins,
and the outfield surely does look good.
The rest of the team is of the same
high grade, and the fans may set it
down as settled that Pa Rourke has
redeemed his promise.
