Experts Favor Jack.

If the opinion of experts counts
for anything, then Jack Dempsey
will be the new heavyweight cham
pion of the world following his fuss
witt Jes Willard on July 4th. The
consensus of belief as expressed by
the leading sporting men of the
country in a poll being taken by a
well known publication conceded
Jack as the winner.
Sure, there are those who cannot,
or will not, believe that the smailer
man can make any kind of an I'M
preston on the champion. not be-
cause he is not a great fighter, but
well, because Willard is such a
giant in stature that it is beyond
the power of any present day
heavyweight to upset him from his
perch.
There have been men the phys
ical equal of Willard who have
been great in the ring, but they all
were brought to earth, and the
majority of them by smaller, young
er men. 1t has been proved that a
man constructed as Dempsey is
makes the better champion of them
all. Jacks ability as fighter offsets
the greater height of the man he
will battle.
At present Willard is the favor
tie in the betting by virtue of his
title as champion. And this is
right and proper for a title carries
a certain amount of prestige, but
by the day of the setto Dempsey
money is certain to be in plentiful
evidence and it is predicted that he
will even be made the favorite by
that time.

court orders, to file bonds before
consummating the transactions, "It

cases bonds are not filed until after

properly questionable. Under the
new nduciary laws when a private
sale is ordered by the court no re-
turn must be made to the court that
the sale is completed, otherwise We
would know whether the bond was

Lawyers should have the bonds an

New England Shopmen
Taking Strike Ballot
By Associated Press.

Boston, Aug. IL. - Continuation
of the strike of New England rail-
road mechanics, which has crippled
freight and passenger service
throughout this section for the last
three days, depended on the result of
balloting at meetings of the strikers
yesterday and to-day. Union leaders
said the outcome would not be
known until late tonight or to-
morrow morning.
Cancellation of passenger sched-
ules continued to-day on the New
Haven and the Boston and Maine
lines. The Boston and Albany road
which has maintained nearly normal
service since the strike, hopes to be
able to continue with the elimina-
ton of dining cars and pullman
cars. This road, however, instituted
a sweeping embargo to-day against
all freight except food shipments.
Traffic bulletins posted to-day in
dicated that nearly 500 trains had
been removed from the several di-
visions from the New Haven and the
Boston and Maine roads and ap-
proXimately forty suburban points
had been entirely cut off since the
beginning of the strike of shopmen
and mechanics.

USE AIR BRAKES
IN GRADE TESTS
Reading Officials Experiment
With Coal Trains at Frack-
Vile; Other Trials

Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
way officials are experimenting on
handling coal trains on the Frack-
vile grade to st. Clair, with the
use of air brakes only. At present
it is necessary to have extra men
on each train and use the hand
brakes. The officials are anxious
to increase the number of trains and
believe this can be done if it is pos
sible to hold the trains with air.
Two attempts were made last week
and further experiments will be in
order. On one test it required ten
hours of preparation inspecting
cars and putting in new retainers in
order to assure heavy air pressure.
One Big job
Engineman Frantz, with engine
No. 1901, was the successful engine
man to do the trick, but he and
his crew had a job before them, in
the very act of trying it. Air tests
of the highest order were made and
when the stage was finally set,
to take the trip down was given.
At 4,50 o'clock the trip landed
at the foot of the grade and the
report was imm ediately wired Read
ing that the affair was a success.
Railroaders are not of the opinion
that the proposition will be a perm
anent one, as they can not be shown
that it will be practicable.
Claim 1t Is Dangerous
They contend that the dangers are
too great and they set as an example
that the very greatest inspections
must be made. They also state
that the officials would not try one
trip which contained many foreign
rnrS hep1llSa fha trim WoS nnt nnn-
sidered safe.
1t is said the officials intended to
made this proposition a permanent
one even though they had to spend
a great deal of money to do it. Some
say the company will go so far as to
erect another air station up the
grade.
