entrymen shall cultivate not less
than one slxteentL of the area of
his entry beginning with the Sec
ond year of his entry and not less
than one eighth, beginning with
the third year of the entry, and un-

FRISCO WILL GIVE
PASSES TO WOMEN

While it has been customary for
railroads to give passes to employees
who have been in continuous service
for number of years, it remains
for the Frisco to introduce an in
novation by which passes may be
awarded to the feminine heads Of
employees families,
The Frisco having been foremost
In the southwest to appreciate the
Importance of the safety first move
ment and to further emphasize the
interest which it takes IN it, has in
augurated a plan by which the re-
ward of actual interest in this move.
ment will be passes to the wives, or
mothers, or sisters of the employees
on the division which has made the
best record in the reduction of per-
sonal injury accidents for the year
ending June 80, 1912.
Vice President W. G. Nixon an
nounces that, after the winning
division has been determined,
special time passes, signed by the
superintendent of that division, will
be given to the wives, or mothers,
or unmarried daughters, who are
actual heads of households of EN-
ployes and dependent upon them
for support.
These passes will be good for six
months on that division and will be
limited to employees who have beer
IN the service for one year or more
in most cases; in the others, three
years or more. They will also bc
given to the women who are in thu
employ of the company on tina

Careful investigation will b,
made to ascertain which of th,

provement, based upon the busines
done, which will effect in any wa,
the hazard to employees. The passe
will not be limited to any class o
employees, but will apply to ever,

Some Pitcher

In an article on "How to Win
Baseball Games" published in the
July American Magazine, Hugh S.
Fullerton says:
"Itls possible for pitcher to
throw only twenty seven balls in a
nine-iuning game. No accurate
record of the smallest number of
balls thrown in any game exists, and
no one counts every ball in every
game. | scored one game in which
Ed Walsh pitched only lightweight
balls, seven of which were fouls,
which l regard as remarkable. /
saw Coombs pitch seventeen balls
to one batter last summer. The
greatest number of pitched balls |
ever counted IN game was 2l1,
George (Rube) Waddell being the
victim, and he weakened in the
ninth and allowed five runs-show
ing that the strain was too great
even for a man of his marvellous
power and endurance.

WOULD ELIMINATE
NEGRO FROM POLITICS

Governor George w. Donaghey
gave out statement last week en-
dorsiug the proposed constitutional
amendment, including what is
known as the grandfather clause" !"
The governor declared that from
every viewpoint it is better to
eliminate the negro from politics.
He said that the negroes. as whole,
are prevented from voting now and
that it would be better to do this
legally than by intimidation. Until
this Is done, he declared, honest
elections cannot be secured in
Arkansas. The governor said that
there are 100000 negroes of voting
age in Arkansas, and that this
number is sufficient to carry any
election if allowed to vote. The
governor said that there are few
negroes who should be allowed to
vote, but as race it would ur-
questionably be bad policy to per-
nit their voting by wholesale.
The governor urged that the
amendment be passed and that
absolutely fair elections between
white men be held.

MARGULIEs TRIO WELCOMED
Earnest Artists Receive Cordial
Greeting from Real Music Lovers.

The concerts OF the Adele Margulies
Trio are always welcome features OF the
musical season. Miss Mnrgulies and her
two associates, Mr.. Lchtenbers and Mr.
Schultz, are sincere and earnest artists
and their work is always interesting ana
praiseworthy. Their concert last night
WAS the first of the season, and was
given IN the new Aeolian Hall before an
audience OF good size. Needless to say, II
was an audience composed In the main or
the lovers Of real music. and one that was
discriminating yet cordial In Its applause.
The programme was az usual, composed
of three numbers--Beethoven's Trio In Is
fat major op. 81; Saint-Saenss sonata
for violin and piano IN minor Op TO,
and Dvorak's quartet in p fiat, Op. 81, In
which Joseph Rovarik. viola. was the Us
sIsting artist. In all the compositions the
playing Of the musicians was marked with
dellcscy yet spirit. and with an admirable
sense OF rhythm. while their ensemble
work was excellent.
Especially we'll played was the third
movement of the Beethoven number, where
the trio brought out most spontaneously
the lyric beauty without even exasgerat-
ing the spirit of the composer. The rest
OF the trio was played with precision OF
attack, and with smoothness and warmth
OF tone

wishes to visit IT.; or to the American
who returns to it from abroad. To be a
spy-he has spies even in Europe-a de-
tective and a policeman all in one can
not be agreeable TO him. My object Is
not TO upbraid him, but to suggest to
him that there are ways Of performing
his duty as an officer of the law with
out bringing the law into contempt or
himself and his country into disrepute
