It seems that these men who SO
ably put yarns like this into type
in their more serious moments,
looked plenty good on the old
Baseball diamond yesterday. so
good that all the other efforts that
have followed the team this
season were eclipsed.
HOman Gets Five Hits
Maybe this new recovery bit
was due to Ray Homan and
George Mosedale, who were added
to the team recently. Then again,
maybe it was just because the
boys found themselves for once.
Whatever it was, an impressive
14-to-1 victory was chalked up,
enabling the team to get off to a
flying start in the second half
opening of the major" loop OF
the several leagues in the city.
Homan collected five hits in as
many trips to the plate to lead
in the victory, while Mosedale
chimed in with two healthy swats,
one of the two-baSe variety, in
four times at bat. Others who
hit well were Tuck Dalglish, who
gathered four out of five; Hol-
brook and Edwards, each getting
three for six, and JeffrieS, with
three out Of four. The latter did

1HE administration has been

how the policy is working.

But, unless the expelled workers
find private employment, you can
bet the administration will under
take another major move soon.
Credit Bank Predicted.
Some Of those very close to Mr..
Roosevelt believe the next move will
be the establishment Of an inter-
mediate credit bank.
That appears to be the real reason
why the Federal reserve governors
were called to meet here Monday. The
insiders apparently have worked out
plan whereby the credit bank can
start a little credit imitation without
interfering with current banking
business.

HIGHER COSTS SEEN
IN BLACK RAIL BILL
Operating Expenses Would In

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An estimate that the Black bill for
q six-hour day for railroad workers
would increase rail operating expenses
by $600.000.0O0 a year was made to-
day before the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee.
Opposing the measure, J. Carter
Fort, solicitor Of the Association Of
Railway Executives, contended such a
working day without a reduction in
wages would threaten many of the
larger lines with bankruptcy.
IF the six-hour day with eight
hours pay" he said, had been in
effect in 1882, the result would have
been that the railroads Of the country
az a whole would have failed by a
large amount to earn their actual ex-
penses. without any regard for inter-
est charges or other return on invest
ment
"It would cutail railroad purchas-
ing, and the railroads are ordinarily
the largest purchasers from the heavy
industries in which the unemployment
situation is most acute"

New York Lawmakers Ask Pres.

By the Associated Press.


ALBANY, N. Y, March 6-The
Repubiican-controlled Assembly of the
New York Legislature last night
adopted a resolution asking President
Roosevelt to restore the airmail con-
tracts to private companies under
temporary agreements until the Army
Air Corps is better trained and
equipped to handle the mail.
The resolution was sponsored by
Assemblyman James j. Wadsworth.
son of Representative James W. Wads-
worth. The vote was "a to IS, q
straight party vote.
Wadsworth charged the contracts
had been taken away from the private
companies without proper investiga-
tion and that many of the companies
were innocent and entitled to a
hearing. He said accidents since the
Army took over the mail service were
unnecessary and could have been
avoided If the flyers had been given
the proper training and equipment
before they were assigned to this duty
The Democrats accused Wadsworth of
playing politics.
Assemblyman Edward J. Coughlin
Bronx Democrat, said that the con-
tracts should have been Cancelled long

LONDON INCREASES
STRENGTH Of NAVY.
Four New Cruisers Will Be
Built During Present
Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. March 6-Construction
of four new cruisers and many other
craft is provided for under increased
navy estimates for 1894 announced by
Great Britain today.
The navy estimates for 1894 total
f55,550,0O0 (about 1882, 750, ,O00)-an
increase Of f2,980.000 tSl4,900, ,000).
In addition to providing for q ship
construction program, the estimates
also make provision for increasing the
naval personnel.
The construction program calls for
the following:
Four crusers-three Of the new
Minotaur type and one of the Areth-
usa type.
One leader and eight destroyers.
One aircraft carrier.
Three Submarines.
Three submarines-one mine layer
submarine and two Of the IS" or
patrol type.
Two general service sloops.
Two sloop mine sweepers.
One net layer.
Two coastal sloops.
One surveying ship.
Under the estimates, the personnel
OF the fleet will total 92,338 officers
and men-an increase of 2.038-and
884 royal marine police. an increase
of 10.
Comdr. B. M. Eyres-Monsell, first
lord Of the admiralty, in statement
accompanying the estimates, said:
Although the program for 1888
was the last one due for completion
by December 81, 1896, under the Lon
don naval treaty. the building of new
cruisers, destroyers and submarines
continues governed by the treaty to
December 81. 1886.
Limitations Observed.
Until that date the British COM
monwealth of nations may only lay
down, under the treaty, replacement
tonnage for cruisers and submarines
becoming over age before the end OF
1889, and for destroyers becoming
over age before the end of 1898.
These limitations have, of course
been kept in mind in fixing the new
program.
In 1888 the program originally in
cluded four cruisers, but when in the
course Of year it became necessary
to modify that program to provide fol-
construction Of two cruisers Of a new
and larger type, treaty limitation OF
replacement tonnage to be completed
by December 81, 1886, made it neces-
sary to omit the fourth cruiser.
"The original position Is now being
restored by the addition of a fourth
cruiser to the program of 1894.
THE numbers of destroyers and
submarines are the same as in pre-.
vious building programs since the
treaty"
