General officials Of the railways are
making extensive plans for the 1914
weighing of the mails and the ulti.
mate change in the valuable govern
ment contracts for the next four years.
Orders have been sent from the gem
eral Offices of the Rock Island and
Santa Fe In Topeka providing scales
for use on all mail cars in operation
and on the platforms of all the larger
stations over the lines west of the
Missouri river. An immense increase
in the weight Of the mails and an
eventual increase in the receipts from
mail contracts Is looked for by the
railway officials.
The railways of the west are look
ing forward with interest to the mail
weighing this year. The parcel post
packages will add greatly to the
amount of material transported and
the railways are praying for enough
revenue to offset the decrease in the
express business.
The mail weighing by the govern
ment begins about the middle of Feb
ruary, according to the latest advice
received by General Manager Kouns
of the Santa Fe and General Manager
Sweet of the Rock Island In Topeka.
For los days thereafter the scales on
the mail cars and station platforms
will be in use constantly. The aver.
age obtained from this source will be
used in determining the contracts of
the future.

Indifferent luck, due to inferior pitch
ing by the younger members of the
staff.
The sixteen-iInning battle yester-
day afternoon on the West Side tired
both CFbs and Cards and the rest to-
day was welcomed. Bill Sweeney is
receiving the thanks of both teams
for. beating out an infield hit in the
final frame with Safer on third base.
If Bill hadn't shown marvellous speed
the athletes would have lost their va
cation today.
As a bali game the affair was a
great competition. Both Cheney and
Robinson, who started, we're effective
pitchers and each allowed 9 hits in
13 innings.
Robinson is one of the hardest
pitchers in the business for the Cubs
to beat and on the last journey of
the Cards here he took two games.
On several occasions he was in dis
tress, but each time had the .neces-
sary puzzle stuff to stall off the locals.
He was removed for a pinch hitter,
as was Cheney.
The victory was costly to the Cubs.
Bresnahan was hit on the wrist by a
foul tip in the seventh inning and had
to give way to Archer. The extent
of the injury to Bresnahan has not
fully developed, but it is almost GER
tain he will be out of the game for a
few days.
Archer did a swell job of work after
relieving his fellow receiver, but Jim
is not in shape to do daily duty, and
the consequences of going to work
too soon may result in further injury
to his already lame hand.
This may mean that HargroVe, who
has been warming up the pitchers
out by the clubhouse, will get a

put him in fine condition. His batting
eye was sharp, and the rheumatism
which has hampered his work was
gradually working out, as he proved
by the way he killed off Giant base
runners in the recent series with the
New Workers.
PheIan was also a victim, hurting
his angle sliding to second. There
was nc one to take Arts job, so he
stuck to the ship. The pain may
come out Of the prop with diligent
massage treatments.
Good again pulled up with a char
ley horse after whacking a double in
the fourth inning and had to retire.
Wilbur needs a little rest and treat
ment for his silt. He is too valuable
to that outfeld to be famed for any
length of time and will be needed bad
ly on the Eastern trip.
n. Zim, the gyrating German,
broke into the game in the 18th in
ming as a pinch hitter for Cheney
after Archer had tTipled with one out.
Zim is complaining of a sore ankle,
but that does not effect his batting
eye. He pestled a second triple and
circled the bases as though both his
ankles yer as good as a chorus
girls.
Zim always does his best thinking
in the vicinity of third base, however.
It was here last Tuesday that he
thought up the new ~forceless force
play, and injured his ankle in the pro-
cess. When he camped on third after
the triple he remembered his injured
ankle and Hmped in approved fash
ion. Heating was put in to run for
him.
In the entire 10 innings not a Cub
struck out, which is an unusual rec =
ord for any team. Five double plays
were staged during the pastime.
Pierce pitched the last three in
nings for the Cubs and allowed one
hit. Perritt was found for two hits in

Levy On Cannon.

Atlanta, Ca, April GA small
antiquated cannon, captured from
the British at the battle of Bunker
Hill by Major Edward White,
who served with Washington dur
ing the revolution, has been seized
by officers of the municipal court
here in a levy on the property of
DR.. o. I. White, great-grandson,
of the revolutionary hero. A num-
Der of collectors of relics have
their eyes on the small cannon, a
mortar, and it will be lost to the
family unless relatives come to the
rescue of DR.. White and pay the
debts before the date for the auc-
ton is reached. DR.. White has
figured in the limelight extensively
since his wife, Mrs. Ella Harrison
White was arrested on charge of
swindling a druggist here out of
$4,000. The druggist claimed he
advanced the money to Mrs. White
on a m lntic st ry that she was

Charge Chief Neglect
In Prisoners Escape

Albany. April 20. Charges
against Chief Of Police R. N,
Westbrook, growing out of re-
cent raid on the beer saloon of
c. A. Westbrook, on Pine street,
have been preferred by D. H.
Redfearn, as a citizen of Albany,
and filed with the board of police
commissioners.
1t is charged that Chief West
brook, on March 81, neglected
his duty, and his conduct was
such as to be injurious to the
public peace and welfare of the
city.
On the occasion of C. A. West
brooks arrest, which was made
by G. w. Sage, who had been
sworn in as bailiff by ]. w.
Pinson, justice of the peace in
East Dougherty, the prisoner
made his escape, and Mr.. Red
fearn, in his charges against the
chief, accuses that officer of al
lowing the prisoner to escape in
the following language:
Il charge that it was the duty
of the said R. N. Westbrook to
have tried to have prevented the
escape of the prisoner, though
he was not the arresting officer
and personally desired to have
nothing to do with the prisoner
than to sign his bond. The duties
of his Office placed upon him the
responsibility of preventing the
escape. !"
