pouble.header Today.

Although Detroit's first 1914 sched-
uled double-header was postponed un-
I'll today, the Tigers did not worry
little bit. With Cobb out Of the game
and with the team not hitting in usual
form, a delay OF even one game IS
appreciated by the Jungaleers. me
Browns, who are going at the peak
OF their abilities, suffered more thah
the locals as a result OF the postpone
ment
TO clear up the schedule as much
as possible. double bill will be stag
ed today, the first game starting at
o'clock. Hickey will use Hamilton OF
Mitchell in the first game and Baum
gardner in the second. While Ii was
generally believed that Jennings
would use Dubuc In one of the games
today, this course is not now consld-
, cred likely. Hughie will probably de-
pend upon Main in the first and Will
send Coveleskie back in the second,
saving Dubuc for the game with the
Mackmen Saturday With both Dubuc
and Dauss in good shape, Detroit Is
at least assured OF an even break
With the Athletics.
The second game today Will be
played under time limit agreement
TO allow the Browns TO catch train.
Cobb will not be in the games to-
day. although he is in fair shape. Jen-
nings wants to get his star in up-top
condition in order to use him in the
harder test against the Athletics, who
open a four-game series here Satur-
day. Veach will probably go back
into the lineup today, High going
into center and Heilman, who failed
TO deliver in the first OF the series,
going back into the coop.
Veach was kept out OF the first con-
test to cut down the number OF lett
handlers. but Heilman's showing at
the bat was so miserable that Jen-
nings decided that II couldn't be
worse, even with an over-aoundance

Brig. Gen. Funston's request that the
evacuation of Vera Cruz by the Ameri-
can forces be postponed until october
10 today was forwarded to Secretary
Garrison at Seabright, N. ]. 1t Is prob
able that the request will be granted
as 1t does not alter materially the
plans of the administration for the i'm
mediate withdrawal of the troops, since
the transports which will bring them
home will not reach Vera Cruz for
about ten days. -.---.
1t is suggested here that Gen.. Fun
ston asks for the extension of time in
! order that all refugees now in Vera
Cruz may have an opportunity to leave
and their departure is likely to be de-
layed by infrequent steamship sall1ngs
1t also is pointed out that Gen. Fun
ston may think it advisable. to- have
more time in which to transfer author
ity to such officials as the Mexican city
government may designate. The names
of these officials are not yet known In
Washington.

Villas Telegram to President Wilson
A message from Gen. Villa, addressed
to President Wilson, was given out to-
day denying that there was friction

some cases properties had been taken
over for protection. but there had been
no confiscation. The general tenor Of
today's reports was to assure the Pres
ident that order is being restored.
This was Gen. Villas telegram, dated
at Chihuahua, yesterday:

STREET RAILWAY RATES
WILL Be INVESTIGATED
Rapid Progress Being Made in As
certaining Value Of Service
Corporations.

With the establishment of a valua-
ton upon the properties of the Capital
traction Company practically COM
pleted, the public utilities commission,
1t was announced today. but awaits
information as to the holdings of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany to enable it to begin investiga-
ton OF the reasonableness of the rates
maintained by the traction concerns.
There is possibility of the street
railway rate inquiry starting this win
ter.
RAPID progress in ascertaining the
value of the properties of these corpo-
ratlons is being made by a corps of
valuation experts employed by the
commission. Headed by Edward w.
Bemis of Chicago, the Investigators
have been at work since the middle of
May, during which time they have
so FAR as it relates to the Capital Trac-
tion company and have started a
similar investigation in the case of the
washington Railway and Electric
Company.
May Finish Work by July 1.
Holdings of the telephone and gas
companies will be the next to be
looked into. 1t is expected that a
valuation will have been placed on the
properties of all local public service
corporations by July 1. next year, and
that within year the commission will
De IN position to determine whether
or not there should be decrease in
the rates charged by the telephone and
gas companies. No decision has been
reached as to whether the telephone
or gas corporations will be the first to
be investigated, but the properties of
both will be valued during the late
winter and spring.
Investigation made by the public
utilities commission, separate from the
inquiry of the valuation experts. as to
the value of the holdings of the taxi
cab companies is expected to result in
an early decision by the board as to
whether or not Washington's taxi
rates are reasonable. This question
is now before the commission in such
shape as to warrant the belief that
early action may be taken.
