game. If ticket spectators had any
seats for sale, they did not advertise
their wares. There were few indi-
Viduals, however, who demanded
from $50 to $75 for box seats for
three games. The face value of
these tichets was $16.5O. The hold

White Soy Arrive
Members of the White Sox, under
the leadership of Manager kid"
Gleason, arrived from Chicago early
to-day and went directly to their
hotel. The White SoX will take IL
light workout at Redland field this
afternoon. The Reds also will have
a light practice to keep their muscles
limbered up.
All members of the Cincinnati club
were reported to be in perfect CON
dition except Heinie Groh, captain
and third baseman. whose broken
finger is still bothering him to a
certain extent. The injury, however
will not keep him from starting the
series and he hopes to be able to
play all through.

against Chicago in the worlds series
OF two years ago and Moran believes
that his style will give the White
SoX the most trouble.

Manager Gleason's selection for the
opener is accepted as a certainty. The
remarkable little "knuckle- bali"
pitcher with more than 25 victories
to his credit this season, is report

in the initial combat. Manager
Gleason. however, expects to make
no announcement of his selection un-
til the time for starting the game
tomorrow.
All arrangements for the series
were being completed to-day The
press headquarters at the Hotel Sin

and it is not at all offered as a pan
acea which may be taken bodily and
applied to some other city Every
city has its individual pecularities
which must be considered in the ap-
plicatlon of the service-at-cost plan.
1t will not produce the same rate of
fare in each city as this in every case
is dependent upon the local density
of traffic.
The unit of measurement in street
car service is the car mile which
means the cost of running one car
one mile. Then density of traffic
is the average number of revenue
passengers per car mile in any given
period. The natural rate of fare is
therefore matter of simple arithe-
metic If the cost of service is 80
cents per car mile and the density
| of traffic is six passengers per car
mile, the natural rate of fare is one
sixth of 80 or five cents. If, how
ever, the density of traffic is only
five passengers per car mile, then
each passenger must bear one-tifth
more of the burden and the rate OF
fare is six cents. An illustration may
be found in the case of Cleveland
In 1918 the density of traffice on the
Cleveland lines was rs passengers
per car mile while in Cincinnati, the
density of traffic was only So pas
| sengers per car mile. 1t is perfectly
| obvious that with a larger volume
! of business of each car mile operat-
| ed the rate of fare in Cleveland
should be lower than in Cincinnati,
since the revenue passenger is sub
stantially the sole source of income
, of a street railway company For
| further purpose of comparison it
may be stated that in Cincinnati
| the company pays $35O,O00 year
as a franchise tax and gives free
| transfers, while in Cleveland no
! franchise tax is paid and the rev.
| enue from transfers amounted to
more than 100000 in 1918. These
two sums would have caused a re-
! duction of more than one cent in
/ the Cincinnati rates OF fare.
THE service at cost plan with
whatever local notifications may be
necessary is applicable to most all
cities and is absolutely fair to the
| public, the community and the in
| vestor."

COUNCIL HEARS
PETITION FROM
THREE GROWERS
Decline to Take Action on
Plea For Repeal of Anti
Forestalfer

Three growers as a committee rep
resenting farmers, truckers and fruit
growers, appeared before City Coun-
Gil to-day presenting a resolution
asking for the repeal of the anti
forestalling and price-fixing ordin-
ance.
Each one told the commissioners
that unless the measure is repealed
the growers will raise less and ship
more to other markets instead of
coming to the city. They gave the
names of some of the men who had
told them of plans to curtail pro-
duction next year.
After Council went into session
the resolution was read. Mayor
Keister remarked he believed it
would be unwise for Council to take
any action on the ordinance at pres
ent, as it had not been in effect long
enough.
II believe in giving it a thorough
trial before deciding we do not want
it. No one in Council intended in
voting for the ordinance to hurt the
markets" the Mayor said.
The resolution was ordered
recorded, but no further action was
taken. On the committee appearing
before Council were Levi Myers,
w u. ITONes OIh
Springs and r. j. Walton, Hummels-
TOWN.
before the councilmanic session
the growers discussed market con-
dttions with the commissioners re-
viewing conditions much the same
ab those mentioned a few months
ago by farmers when they met with
Council. They contended Council
should pass an ordinance which
would prevent "cornering" a cer-
tain commodity, but should not pre-
vent wholesaleing in the market for
resale there. That there was any
price-fixing on a large scale by
growers was vigorously denied.
An ordinance was passed on first
reading authorizing the grading of
kunkel street. from Seventeenth to
Eighteenth, and another vacating Il
small part of Greenwood street, from
Twenty third to Benton, and opening
Carper street 100 feet north of
Derry, to replace it.
Ordinances passed finally provide
for paving Brensinger street from
Turner to Woodbine, and laying
water pipes in Green street, from
Lewis to Catharine.

YOUTH WAS IN BASTl[E
Robert Wilkinson, Unafraid When
Placed Behind the Cily
Jail Bars

Robert Wilkinson, eleven year old
boy, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Chief of Police Jack Martin
at one of the local theatres and TAX
en- into the police station where it
was found he had $7.93 in his pocket.
He admitted he had spent the remain
ing amount of $40 for a pair of ten
mis- shoes, candy, popcorn and admis-
sion to the movies.
Mrs. L. F. Sorrell, Mankato Route
/. entered the complaint against the
boy, informing Chief Martin that
when she drove up in front of the
Wilkinson home in West Mankato
the boy, or his smaller brother, took
a $40 bill from her pocketbook which
she had left in the buggy. Wilkin-
son claimed thai his smaller brother
took the money from the purse but
admitted that he had sent the small
Ter boy to do the act and bring the
money back to him.
Chief Martin locked the lad in the
cell overnight but the fact seemed to
make little impression on Wilkinson.
He was unafraid of the officers when
arrested and even tried to escape
from the station. Judge Golf con-
suited with the mother of the boy,
who is a widow and both she and her
son were to come before the court
this afternoon.

German gas attack In France, through
a fit of anger while at work on his

Private Horn was seriously gassed

Still he could not use his voice.
Reports of those witnessing the
transformation say that Horn was
blowing sod in a field when his team
became refractory and insisted on
crossing a ditch in the field. In the
excitement of trying to get control of
the hayward horses the young SOL

the action he was taking, let loose a

had to repeat the words several times
before he realized that he could say
something else just as well.
