SPEAKER TO CLEVELAND.
Worlds Champions Boston Red Sox
Dispose of Outfield Star.

New York, April 10.-Tristam
Speaker. one of the greatest outfield
ers in baseball and for the last two
years the highest salaried player in
ton American league team to the
Cleveland club of the same league.
The deal. which was closed here by
Manager William Carrigan, of Boston,
and Robert Mercy, of Cleveland, came
after many rumors that the worlds
champions were to part with their
brightest star. but nevertheless it
caused considerable surprise.
In return for the famous player,
Boston will receive, Manager Carrigan
said, two players-Pitcher S. P. Jones
and another to be chosen later-and a
paid was not announced
The release of Speaker is said to
have been caused by inability to come
to terms on the question of salary
TWO years ago when Speaker was
eagerly sought by the Federals he was
given a contract for two years at Il
salary reputed to have been s1S.500.
At the passing away of the Federal
league. Owner Lannin, of the Red
SoX, offered Speaker a contract for
this year calling for a much smaller
salary, said to be about $4,000 The
result was that they failed to come to
terms.
Speaker May Not Consent.
Boston. April 10.-Tris Speaker,
whose sale to the Cleveland club was
announced Sunday. said here that it
was not yet a certainty that he would
go to the Cleveland team.
There is no need of my stating that
this deal was a complete surprise to
me- said Speaker. "It nearly took
me off my feet. AS I understand it.
Mr.. Lannin and I had practically
agreed upon terms. After talking with
him on Friday, 1 figured that our deal
was practically fixed up and that there
was no longer anything between me
and my continuance as a member of
the Red Sox team, save the signing of
contract"

1t is rumored that the Maisel broth
ers have an ambition, not only to be-
come the largest brotherhood in base
ball, but also some day to see a big
league team composed entirely of their
family.

Man Stole a Locomotive

By George! I am going to that dance at PaXtons somehow" an uni identified young man declared here the other night when informed there would would be no trains going east for some time, according to the Bozeman (Mont.) correspondent of the Spokane Wash.) Spokesman-Review. He walked over to lone locomotive, en- tered the cab and started east, break ing through closed switch and going out on the main fine.
 Engineer McVicker, in locomotive, was travelling toward this city when he noticed that the block system regis tered danger. He saw the smoke of an engine approaching and stopped his own. His fireman jumped and Me- Wicker reversed his engine. Fireman caught the approaching en- zine, climbed into the cab, found it "driverless" and brought it to a stop a short distance from McVicker's en- zine.
 No trace of the locomotive thief has been found. He evidently jumped when he saw the other engine approaching.

ON A VISIT OF INSPECTION
British Railroad Authority in This Country Looking Over the Lead
 ing American Systems.

w. M. Acworth, the distinguished British railroad authority, is visiting the United States and inspecting sev- eral of the railroad systems of the East. He is keenly interested in the wage controversy between the rail roads and the train service employees, which he ayers is similar in it's gen eral aspects to that which led up to the great British railroad strike of 1911.
 Mir. AcwOrth is a director of the underground railroads of London and has written number of books on rail- road development and regulation. He is no stranger to the United States, having made many trips to this side of the Atlantic, and having been for many years in touch with the railroad situation here. He is close personal friend of leading railroad officials of the country.
 The war has made heavy drafts upon the railroad workers of Great Britain" said MT. Acworth in an inter- view at New York. Probably 20 per cent of the railroad operatives are in active service. From the London un- derground system, which employed about 25,OOO men at the outbreak of the war, some 5000 have enlisted. On all the lines somewhat similar cOndi- tiOnS exist.
 1.-The places of those who have vol unteered have been filled to some ex- tent by keeping older men in service instead of retiring them. On the Lon- don buses 800 women are employed as conductors. On all the lines forces have been reduced by cutting off large proportion of the passenger trains.

EXTENDING LINES IN ALASKA
Degree of Development Not Generally Recognized Has Been Steadily
 Carried Forward

Private enterprise is re-enforcinr government enterprise in the develop neht of Alaska transportation. An nouncemcnt was recently made of the intention of the Copper River X North western to extend it's Cordova line farther into the interior. Now comes the assurance that private enterprise has financed the proposed immediate construction of a railroad from near Controller bay 10 the Boring river coal fields, F miles away.
 Thus coal of high quality is to be brought to tidewater by October next and shipped to Alaska points as well as seattle and points farther south. Possibly about the same time Mata- nuska coal will reach Seward and Anchorage and he distributed from these points for naval and commercial needs.
 The humanizing of Alaska admins traitor and the partial opening of the territory to commercial enterprise nave had stimulating effect. Long dormant coal claims are taking on tho
 
 form of business ventures. Railroad construction is to bring these in touch with the market, chcapen fuel and make greater gold production possible The worlds demand for copper has further acCentuated Alaska's progress by forcing the railroad line from Se- ward to extend into the wilderness be- l yond the present terminus.
 The utilities for commerce are be- 1 ing vastly increased. Coal will soon | be reaching Central Alaska from the 1 Nenana fields and the south coast will | De supplied from the Boring and NIata- nuska fields, vitalizing every industry that it touches. In another year the northern wilderness will be split in twain by the arteries of commerce.

 IN CLEVELAND

An Increase of $50 in the school population of Cleveland county this year over last year is shown in the report prepared by County Superin- tendent John l.. Harlow for the state department of education.
 The report gives the following in- terestlng figures relative to public eoucatlon In Cleveland county, accord Ing to the Cleveland County Herald oi kison, and makes most creditable showing:

 White males. 1928; white females l,|59; total whites, 3,587: colored males. S88; colored females. 845; total colored, 1,733. 9O'
 Of the school population, the aggre- gate enrolment is 4,253. The aver age daily attendance at the schools ot the county, 2,993. This shows the enrolment is 80 per cent of the total enumeration, and the average daily attendance IS approximately 70 per cent of the enrolment.
 " Hiie lHese percentages are not as nigh as we would like to report, vet the showing is not so bad when we consider that enumerated in the school population are many young people married or in business for themselves.
