THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAI-THUBSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1908;
A NOTGHJIIGHER,
Crept the Giants When They
Defeated Boston.
Won Handily From the Bean
eaters by 7 to 2 Score.
NO PLAYER INJURED.
Feature of Game McCormick's
Catch Off the Fence.
Matthewson Pleaded to Fitch
But Was Bared for Chicago.
New York, Oct. 8. The National
league pennant, fought (or as probably
never before, belongs to today's winner
at the Polo grounds. Wednesday tha
attendance at the Polo grounds wa not
more than the average, the other
throngs of the game's followers being
confident, evidently, that the New
York would not fall when so near the
goal. After the short fright in tha
opening Inning, which gave Boston two
runs and New York none, It was evi
dent that the home players have strong
control of themselves, and are In every
way fit and confident.
Ames pitched, despite Mathewsonfs
pleading with McGraw before the gam-"
that he be allowed to go into the box
both then and today. Mathewson will
undoubtedly be In the box today. Tho
only feature of the game, which New
York won handily by Che score of 7 to
2, was McCormick's remarkable catch
of a long fly, for which, he had to reach
far out over a bleacher fence. Score:

New York, Oct. 8. P. J. Dwyer

"You can say for me I will conduct

CROSS AND McFARLAND.. .
Matched for a Fight in Got I mm on
Afternoon of October 21,
New York, Oct. 8. The Fairmont
Athletic club clinched the match be
tween Packy McFarland and Leach
Cross at this office yesterday after
noon. Billy Gibson, manager of the
club, talked to Harry Gilmore over
the leased wire to Chicago and clinch
ed the match within half an hour. The
boys have agreed to box at 13S pounds
at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the
contest. The date has been set for
October 21.
Here Is the fight that decides the
next best man to Battling Nelson. The
winner of this go will surely be en
titled to edge up to the Dane and try
to mingle.
Cross is dead nutty to hook up with
the Dana if the latter, will go twenty
or twenty-five rounds,- but McFarland
would have the route shortened some,
thinking his chances of outpointing
the Hegewisch gent much ' greater.
Packy knows that, with his speed and
youth, he might lead Bat, but the lat
ter won't have anything unless it Is a
forty-five round thing or a finish.

RAILROADS IN COURT.
Be Decided Whether or Not Harriman
Shall Answer Questions. :
That the railroads of the country i
will occupy much of the attention of
the supreme court of the United
States during the term of 1908 and
1909, which will begin in Washington
next week, is evidenced by the docket
of the court so far as it has been
prepared. As usual, the court will
first hear arguments on cases which
have been advanced on account of
their especial importance as related to
the public welfare, and a large per
centage of the assigned cases deal
with questions affecting the railroad
interests in one way or another.
Probably the case to attract most
popular Interest will prove to be that
of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion against Edward H. Harriman,
president of the Union Pacific com
pany. This case involves the right of
the commission to propound certain
questions to Mr. Harriman relative to
his purchase of stock of other com
panies, and its decision is expected
to go far toward defining the scope of
the commission In obtaining informa
tion regarding the business transac
tions of Interstate carriers. If the
court should decide that Mr.-1 Harri
man can be compelled to reply to
such questions as were propounded
to him regarding the matters in ques
tion, the commission will . in the
future have little trouble in getting at
the essential facts regarding any rail
road consolWatiorr.or purchase, but if
the decision should be In the negative,
it is probable that "further legislation
will be undertaken.
Among the other railroad- cases In
volving the Interstate Commerce law
are several touching the right of rail
road companies. to grant rebates. One
of these is the famous proceeding
against the New York Central rail
road, which was fined 108,000 on the
charge of granting rebates to the
American Sugar Refining company,
and another against the same road to
determine the responsibility of a road
which is not the initiatory carrier for
rebates granted on shipments made
partially over Its line. There is also
a rebate case against tne Chicago &
Alton company, which is expected to
determine the question as to what
constitutes terminal facilities and the
right of a railroad company under
the law to grant a rebate to shippers
who supply them.
Kindred to the railroad cases are a
number against express companies,
Instituted by the government for the
purpose of determining their right un
der the interstate commerce law to
Issue franks. The government con
tended in these cases that the
Issuance of a frank by an express
company was contrary to the law
prohibiting the granting of passes,
and the lower courts sustained this
contention. The express companies
will ask the supreme court to reverse
the finding.
There also are cases coming both
from Illinois and. West Virginia, in
volving authority, of. the Interstate
Commerce commission in directing
the distribution of cars for the ship
ment of coal. If the decision in these
cases should be favorable to the
commission it would be far-reaching,
as It would necessarily follow that the
commission could give direction for
distribution In other lines of business
as well as in the coal business. Still
another railroad case involves the
validity of the law regulating the
transit of live stock and limiting the
time such stock can be confined in
shipping cars without being taken oqt
for rest.
The docket as it stands now con
tains a number of suits affecting .state
railroad laws, among them being the

ARKANSAS FREIGHT RATES ;
Intrastate Rates Will Be Raised Be
ginning October 15.
An advance In intrastate freight
rates ranging from- 20 to 166 per cent
will go into effect throughout Arkan
sas October 15, as the result of the re
cent temporary Injunction granted, the
trunk-lines of the state against the
enforcement of rates ordered by 'the
Arkansas railroad commission.
Today prominent freight officials of
the five trunk lines notified the Ar
kansas commission of the new rate
schedule. They -jirged that the rise
was not confiscatory, that it was mere
ly a return to reasonable rates such as
other states had and which existed in
Arkansas before the commission made
its sweeping reduction three years
ago. The railroads have done away
entirely with the commodity rates in
less than carload lots and have placed
them all Into classes.
By an oral decision of Judge Well
born In the United States district court
at Los Angeles the power of the fed
eral courts to ' try rebate cases that
heretofore have been regarded as
strictly state offenses was strongly
laid down. Unon demurrer to an in
dictment charging the Jfenn fruit
company with accepting rebates from
the Southern Pacific company, it was
held that repayment to the fruit com
pany. foK the expense of hauling its
oranges to the freight house was with
in the - provisions of interstate commerce-
regulations.

FOWLER EXCITED.
Little Meade County Town Had
Ne?er Seen the Like.
Twel Ye Wagon Lead of W fa eat
Passed ttp fhe Street.
Fowler,- Kan.. " Oct. S. J. C. F. Mc
Cauley, the most' 'extensive wheat rais
er in eastern Meade county; broke all
previous records; when he brought into
Fowler two wagon trains of wheat
drawn by a twenty horse power 'trac
tion engine. There had been rumors
for some time that such an arrival was
scheduled for the near future. It wao
late In the evening when the tran
quillity of the busy little village of
Fowler was disturbed by such an un
usual occurrence.; The grain buyers
got wind of the approaching proces
sion long before it reached town, and
they grabbed up their little brass
buckets and went helter skelter out
across the prairie to meet it.
As the long line came down Main
street, clerks and patrons lost Interest
In bargain drivirg and came out in
front to watch the spectacular proces
sion crawl past. The oldest citizens
pricked up their ears and took notice,
for during their quarter of a century
sojourn at this place they had not seen
the like before. They remembered
caravans and pack trains of early daya,
but this long line of wagons drawn by
a puffing, snorting, wild-eyed being
was certainly the latest.
Mr. McCauley Is noted for doing
things that others thought Impossible,
and the establishing of the only saw
mill In western Kansas did not satisfy
his desire to get ahead of his fellow
farmers. As a result he conceived this
very unique Idea of disposing of his
big wheat crop. He harvested 1,100
acres of wheat this year and had sold
between 3,00O and $4,000 worth- before
he brought in this large consignment.
Each of the trains consisted of six
double sideboard wagons filled to the
limit, and with the tank and coal
wagon joined to the engine the proces
sion presented a very imposing and un
usual spectacle for Fowler, Meade
county, or even western Kansas. The
first load was sold to the Fowler Ele
vator company,- and the second to the
Pratt Mill and Elevator company, of
this place. All together It totaled
about a car load and brought from 80
to 82V4 cents per bushel.
Mr. McCauley believes In killing two
birds with one stone, so before he re
turned home each time he loaded a car
of coal Into his wagons and took It out
to his big farm which, by the way, con
sists of twenty-eight quarter sections
of land. He had no time to bin his
grain as It was threshed, nor did he
have the inclination so to do, but as he
went from one stack yard to another
he left the golden grain piled in huge
heaps ion the ground with nothing but
the blue dome of heaven as a protec
tion. From these big piles he hauls it
direct to market and saves the expense
of building granaries r-and storing It
therein. The farmers say that rain
doesn't hurt it in the least, as a little
Meade county sunlight makes it as
saleable as ever.
- Swallows His False Teeth.
"Junction City. Oct. 8. Just before

made to get the plate out, but to no
avail. .It, was .too far down his throat
