Water Reaches to Gar Steps at Some Points, But
 Track Is Secure.

Iron Mountain trains last evening started operations direct between Pine Bluff and McGehae and other psifits south on the line, traversing the sec,icn of track which has been submerged by flood wate. for several days past.
 Despite r.ports that through traf- fife was resumed yesterday morning it was not until late last evening that the first train passed over the sub merged track. The track at num- b:., of places is still under water which at times reached to the lower step of the passenger coaches, but the trains m.ved slowly through the water, feeling thsir way, and found tie track secure beneath then.
 Except for the slow travel through the section still under water, th-rc is expected to be no further interrup- tiol to the regular through servic- by .he Iron Mountain. That road is open again through t9 St. Louis on ths north. and the passage of trains yesterday means that the road Is now open through to the south. 4.'i

Did you express any view as to the disposition of the case in 1910?' inquired MT. Thorne
 "I did not" responded MT. Lyon. "I thought my duty was to present facts and leave the disposition to the commission"
 You recognized MT. Brandeis did that?" asked Senator Cummins.
 Yes, sir" WI

 Mccoy got $1.5O0 for his last fight with Chip. That was the recent re- turn battle in which Chip hammered Mccoy all around the ring but could not put him out. McCoy's other fights since bee T ing the champion, have netted him close to s10,000.

kauff.ing Again.


 Bsnny Kauff recently uttered the threat: t"
 "Unless the Giants agree to my terms. I will quit baseball and de- vote myself to my coal mine inter- ests." ~
 As far as anyone can figure out. the only interest in any coal mine that the shrinking violet" has, is that of securing a digging job at $2 1r $3 per day. ;;
 It's really time that Kauff quit bluffing. This is no time for it.. That era when ball players could throw a bluff and get away with it is dead and buried. 21i.
 The Giants want Kauff-and wan; him badly. But if they had to, they could get along without him. And unless Kauff quits fussing around very soon. the Giant owners are likely to lose patience with him and tell him to go bury himself in nls 'coal mine interests"
 If the Giants refuse to play Kauff they can see to it that he doesn't play elsewhere. They offer him the chance to play in their outfield-or quit the game.
 Kauff has stated that he won't play with the Giants unless he gets pat of the purchase money paid for i'.s, to Harry Sinclair. The "Kangeroo' of Baseball" wants a modest. $5.000. He has been told to chase himself, since which time he has been filling the sport pages with threats about going back to the "coal business"
 However. it is fairly safe bet that when springtime comes, Kauff will forget all about his yearning for $5,- GOO because a greater enc will come to him--the yearning to get back in'o his diamond armor and show the merry villagers that he's regular ball player.
