The game resolved into pitchers duel
after the first two innings, both Gal
lagher, for Petworth, and Petit, for Tan
glewood, pitching great ball. the former,
however, had a shade the best OF the
argument, being steadier In the pinches
than his opponent.
Tanglewood started off like winner,
showing four runs across the pan in the
first round OH five hits and an error, but
after this session they could do nothing
with Gallagher'S benders.

The winners started the scoring in the
first inning and were able to score in

The whole Station team was off color

EXPERTS. STUDY ELECTRIC ROADS,
REPORT ON THE MANY ADVANTAGES

Freight Business is Practically Clear
Profit
"The express and freight business
being in the nature of a by-product
are pure velvet"
Thirty-fv Interurban Roads in I'LL
nois earn S4,8O8 per mile from passen-
ger traffic, some earning $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile
The average freight earnings of 35
Interurbans in Illinois are $3.50 per
mile. Roads well situated for freight
earn from $1,000 to $4,000 per mile
from this source alone.
Interurban Roads Increase Farmers
Profits and The Value of Land
They make the farmer independent
of the condition of country roads en-
abling him to market his produce at
the most favorable moment and, be-
cause of their speed to deliver the
most perishable articles in the best
condition.
Cutting The Cost of Food
The city of Philadelphia commits
stoned Prof. Clyde King of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania to make an in
quiry into the high cost of Philadel-
phia living. Prof. King and his aids
took number of standard articles of
food and traced them from the soil to
the table. They followed these articles
every step of the way, noted every adj
d;tion to the price, who got it and
why. Then they made the following
recommendations:
1. The development of a trolley
freight system from farm to city,
with trolley terminals in various Sec
tions of the city.
2. The development of municipal
markets.
The Philadelphia board of aldermen
is now about to carry these plans into
effect.
A city of New York commission dis
covered that the people of the east
side were buying decayed apples while
good apples lay on the ground less
than hundred miles away because
the growers couldn't make proper
shipping arrangements. Plans are
under way to stop this waste of apples
and of health.
Des Moines has established NUM-
cipal markets, which have reduced the
cost to the consumer so per cent and
increased the price to the farmer SO
-per cent.
Baltimore to date has spent 81, 5000,-
900 on its municipal markets; the re-
ceipts have been $3,2O0,OOO, and the
householder has got his produce lower
than ever before
A similar investigation in Chicago
might show that this city too, is suf-
fering from archaic methods of distri-
button and wasteful multiplicity of
middlemen

Mr.. Edward P. Burch, who is pro-
fessorial lecturer in electric railway
engineering at the University of Min
nesota and also prominent consult
ing engineer, recently said in an adj
dress before the Engineers society at
the University that electricity as a
motive power in preference to steam
gives railroad an increased degree
of efficiency in the use of railroad in
vestments, better service and more
safety for the travelling public.
"The steam locomotive has a limit
ed capacity" said Mr. Burch, at is in
efficient in the use of coal, it entails
heavy standby losses and is in service
but few hours of the day. The re-
ciprocating motion and intermittent
forces in heavy locomotives at high
speed are responsible for broken rails,
track displacement, and the resulting
derailment of trains!
by a change to the electric motive
power system, operating expenses can
be greatly reduced, and the larger
eastern roads find a reduction of so
per cent in fuel per ton mile in mixed
freight, switching and passenger SER
vice; also reduction of so per cent in
locomotive maintenance and substan-
tlai reductions in road-bed mainten-
ance and in the cost of labor per train
or ton-mile hauled All these advan-
tages will follow from an increased
and more efficient use of the great in
vestment in tracks, terminals, and
equipments.
Safety is enhanced with electric
traction because of the simplicity in
the revolving motor and the steadiness
or continuity of the applied forces.
The engineman and his helper can
give their attention to the signals and
to the track, and not to shoveling coal,
the production of steam and the care
OF complicated reciprocating mech
anism.
"The cost of electrifcation adds only
% per cent to the cost of a complete
railroad system. The added invest
ment has been found to result in ade-
quate facilities or greater capacity for
traffic, and to greater efficiency in OPP
Grafton, resulting in an increased net
revenue on the original and the added
investment for identification. In this
way better engineering and economic
results are to be obtained in transpor-
tation"

Profits and Advantages

The number of passengers carried
each year by Interurban Roads in ILL
nois is ten times the total population
of the state.
Congressman w. B. Mckinley, head
of the Illinois Traction System who
has built and operated more miles of
traction railroads than any other man
in the country is quoted:
1--WE have built one link after an
other in our system and in every case
the result has been the same. The
people have instantly appreciated the
new service and we have not had to
hunt for business because it has all
come to u.s."
zone thing is certain, an interurban
trolley line connecting two cities with
a good agricultural country, as the
meat in the sandwich, viii pay almost
from the start from its passenger
traffic alone"

Butcher Asks $4,000 Damage
for Malicious Prosecution

Alleging malicious prosecution, ."
Morris Neiwirth. a butcher of ABS
Ferry street, is suing the National
Cash Register Company and its local
manager. j. Warren Perkins, for
$4,000 damages before Judge Frederic
Adams and jury in the Circuit
Court today.
Neiwirth was arrested in August,
1911, by Plainclothesman John L. Mil
Ter. of the Third precinct, on a war
rant sworn out by Perkins, charging
Neiwirth with the larceny of a cash
register. He was indicted by the
grand jury, but later acquitted by a
jury in the Court of Quarter Sessions
before Judge Harry V. Osborne. Sub
sequently several actions were
brought by the defendant company in
the district courts to recover the ma
chine by replevin. They finally sue
ceeded when Neiwirth failed to ap-
pear in court.
1t is contended by the plaintiff
that dispute arose over the number
of payments that had been made on
the machine, and the matter was
taken to court and 1T was while it
was in allegiance and he was holding
the register that the warrant for his
arrest was sworn out.
He was disgraced by his arrest and
his reputation injured, he complains,
and asks for damages through his
attorneys. Adams & Schoen. Frank
Long represents the defendants.

PsuedO Postal Clerk Gives
Immigrant Confederate Bill
for Fifty One Dollar Notes

Postoffice inspectors are today
searching for the man who imperson-
ated a postoffiee clerk and defrauded
young immigrant of $50. The search
is the outcome of the arrest here
yesterday of Adolph Hoffman,. twen-
ty years old, who boards at 253 Or
ange street. Young Hoffman, at
tempted to pay his board bill with q
confederate $50. and was arrested
when his landlady notified the police
of the Second precinct.
Plainclothesman Goodwin Bought
Hoffman, before United States Com
missioner Richard Stockton. To the
latter the prisoner told the story OF
how he asked a "postoffice clerk" In
Hoboken to give him a $50 bill in
place of the fifty 81 bills he carried
with him. He was given confeder-
ate bill for his legitimate currency.
The prisoner was unable to speak
English and told his story through
an interpreter. Commissioner Stock
ton sought to. have the poStoffice in
spectors put on the trail of the psuedo
clerk at once and held Hoffman, a
prisoner for five hours while he at
