year ago. The total of the United
States roads reporting to date for the
first two weeks in April, according to
Dun's Review, aggregates $13,476, 715,
an increase of 6.5 per cent as COM
pared with the earnings of the same
roads for the corresponding period last
year. There is still considerable irreg-
ularity as regards the returns from
the different parts of the country, but
on the whole the showing is very sat
isfactory, especially as in some sections
traffic has been more or less retarded
by adverse weather conditions and
floods.
In the south the roads reporting make
notably favorable returns, for while
loss appears on some important sys-

on others, the earnings, of such roads

Freight Handlers Strike.

Chicago, May Quiet marked the
freight handlers strike in Chicago
Monday. The 5000 men who quit
work on Saturday needed the request
of their leaders and remained away
from the freight houses. A few bust
ness agents picketed quietly and
squads of policemen guarded the rail-
roads property, but there was no
trouble.
Union leaders say there will be no
violence countenanced by them in
this strike.

TEXAS TAKES OWN MEDICINE.
Tried to Form Merger of Three State
Roads-Attorney Said No.


Roads-AttOrney Said No.
Austin, Tex, May THE state of
Texas got a dose of it's own medicine
the other day when it attempted,
through the state penitentiary COM
mission, to merge into one corpora
ton the three separate lines of rail-
way which are owned and operated
by it. Governor Colquitt opposed the
enactment of railroad consolidation
measures by the legislature at the last
regular session of that body, but sane
toned the proposed merger of the
three state railroads. When the legal
phases of the proposition were submit
ted few days ago to the attorney
generals department an opinion was
rendered by E. B. Robertson, assist
ant attorney general, to the effect that
special act of the legislature would
be required to accomplish the desired
purpose. He pointed out that the law
requires ten or more persons to in
corporate railroad company, and as
the state is the sole owner of the three
lines involved it would be impossible
to secure a charter.
The particular object in bringing
about a merging of these roads was
that they might each be entitled to
participate in divisions derived from
their freight traffic.

POLO GROUNDS, New York, Oct.
14.-Falling upon the Red Sox with the
fury of another Armageddon the Giants

not. Boston pitched O'Brien, who had
tried for conclusions with Marquard In

Today he lasted but one. Collins sue
ceeded O'Brien and pitched perfect
ball, but his teammates couldn't

delivery.
1t was a terrific drubbing O'Brien
received and 1t laid the game in cold
