Nine white. hobos were pulled off
an Atlantic Coast Line freight train
as it rolled into Palatka last night.
The arrests were made by police Of

tic Coast Line and sheriff's deputies.
All nine of the men were lodged in

keeping an unusually close watch at
this time of year, especially since
the shooting recently of Special
Agent J. L. Martin, a week ago.
When the nine men were spotted a
wire was sent ahead for local Off

the round up. When the train came

lined up to be searched. Several of
them, it was said, were armed, and
but a few dollars in change was col
lected from the entire crowd.
Railway officials report that near
lv every train coming south brings
some of these hobos woh seem to
be migrating in larger numbers this
fall than ever before.

Mississippi negro named Sam, having

formed the police that the purchase had been
made from one Stonewall Williams The police
were unable to find Stonewall, but somehow
word managed to reach Sam, who was reposing
in Jail, that if he "squeeled" it was certain that
Stonewall would arrange so that he would never
again buy anything. We all know a negro has
greater regard for the living than for the dead.
Stonewall however was finally apprehended
and brought to trial and as Sam, the chief wit
ness, was lead into the court room, his eyes re-
NAMED fixed on the ceiling. Sam admitted he
knew the defendant but when the Judge asked
if the witness had purchased liquor from the de-
fendant as charged, he was unable to make Sam
answer. Upon repeated urging the witness fin
ally said to the court "See here Judge, if |

New York, Oct. 12.-Frank Snyder
the Giants bulky catcher polled one
of Carl Mays under-dand twisters
into left center field for a two base
hit in the seventh inning at the Polo
Grounds this afternoon and thereby
sent home the tally which won the
seventh game of tn eworld series for
the New York National league cham
pions.
The Giants by winning this con-
test from the YANKEES 2 to went for
the first time into the lead in the
world championship race with four

The McGraw men need but one
more victory to give them the series
and the big end of the money.
WoOrthy of Pennant Winners
Today's game, probably the best
played and certainly the happiest
and tensest in the series, was one
worthy Of the two pennant winning
clubs. 1t was witnessed by holi-
day crowd of 36,5O3 persons, crowd
which was by all odds the most de-
monstrative of all the great throngs
which have gathered for the games.
1t seemed almost as if the roar that
greeted Chick Fewster, the Yankee
lead off man, again substituting
for the disabled Babe Ruth, when
he stepped to the plate in the first
inning, was continued without pause
until Phil Douglas, of the Giants,
tossed out Schang for the last out
nj the ninth.
Once more and for the third time
it was case of Douglas against
Mays and for the second time the
verdict went to Douglas. Shutting !,
Phil pitched masterful ball settlingE

country of course, if it could be eff
fected without further jeopardizing the
finances and credit of the carriers and
precipitating receiverships. Further
weakening of the financial condition
of the railroads would be decidedly
detrimental to the business of the
country.
The wage reduction when made gem
eral is expected to save the railroads
s400, 600, 900 annually, and an addition
al saving of S300,000,000 is expected
through the elimination of waste here
tofore occasioned by the national
agreements, although how much may
actually be saved this way is very
problematicaL But even a reduction
of $7O0000000 in annual operating
costs would not alone enable the roads
to earn net return of 5 1-2 or 6
per cent. upon the valuation placed
on their properties by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, as contem-
plated in the Transportation Act, with
the present volume of traffic.
While the net operating income of
the railroads in April was $29201, 0<0,
as compared with an operating d9ficit
OF 23,767 900 in April, 1920 it was
ST. 494 900 less than In March Of this
year, and was due to the So per cent
decrease in operating expenses, eff
fected in part by the greater effici-
ency and economy of private man
agement, as contrasted with Govern
ment control. as well as to the 7.76
per cent. increase in total operating
revenues And on the basis of the
book valuation made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission for rate max
ing purposes, the operating income
for April would represent an annual
return Of 2.18 per cent The net OPP
Grating income in March represented
an annual return of 2.30 per cent.
In the fiscal year ended June 80,
1916, operating expenditures amounted
to 81 per cent. of operating revenues.
which permitted the payment of divi-
dends amounting to 5.21 per cent. of
the revenue and the appropriation of
2,47 per cent for sinking funds, re-
serves, and betterments. When the
roads were returned to private opera
ton, operating expenses had been in
creased to such an extent that they
absorbed 90 per cent. of the operat-
Ing revenues, and taxes had increased
so that practically nothing was left
for interest, dividends or surplus.

to discard coal and use oil as the sole
propulsive power, adequate reserves of
oil would be absolutely essential, and
the British Government had, therefore.
taken steps to secure these reserves
by obtaining a controlling interest In
the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.
