I NEW FREIGHT RATES
FOR UTAH POINTS
Utah shippers will have detailed
schedules of the freight rate advan
ces proposed by the railroads withla
thirty days as by that time the Trails
Missouri freight tariff bureau will
file the new rates with the interstate
commerce commission and request
that the advances be permitted it '
go into effect within the legal sixty
day limit.
J A. Reeves, general freight agent
for the Oregon Short Line, returned
yesterday from the conference belt,
by the railroads interested in the
raising of the rates into Utah com
mon points from the Missouri rivet
and pointB east. AVhile he would
not discuss the extent of the coming
raise in rstes he said that the prim
ers' proofs were corrected and thai
the final printing of the rate sheet
will be completed within sufficient
time to permit ,ne railroads to rile
it with the interstate commerce com
mission before February 1.
The proposed increase varies from j
H a car on some commodities to a
few cents over $80 a car on others !
The railroads have been working on
the new tariffs for several months
. and it is understood that the Salt
Lake Commercial club tariff bureau
I will contest the matter before the
interstate commerce commission
With the prospects of a contest In
view it is not thought that the raise
will go Into effect for at least a year
if it is granted by the interstate com
merce commission, as the eastern rate
cases have been pending before the
commission for several months, and
only a 5 per cent Increase s asked
by eastern roads.

'PASSES FOR HEAVY
HITTERS MAY END
Quoting Byron Bancroft Johnson
master of the American league, "or
ganized baseball is always open to
eritirlsm." and In the same breath he
invites suggestions tending to im
prove the game Taking this cue for
a working basis, one of the veterans,
for twenty-five years a prominent far
tor in the pastime. Kicked In with an j
original idea, which if considered by
the rule makers should score a tre
mendous hit with the public, the play
ers and the umpires.
Jack Doylo, White Sox scout, for
mer N'ational league umpire and for
three years battery mate to Amos Hu
sie, speed king of the early '908. ha
doped out a possible solution to the
problem attending the international
passing of dangerous batters. For
months Comiskey's ivory hunter has
been pondering over the question and
at last has given vent to his thoughts
"The baseball public has rightly de
manded a change in the rules gov
ernlng this phase of the game, and 1
believe immediate action by the rules
committee of the two major leagues
would strike a responsive chord It s
an injustice to the fans it's unfair to
the batters and the practice should
be stamped out. Patrons of the
port attend games and pay to see
hitters like Cobb, Speaker, Wagner
Lajole and Zimmerman club the bail
If the battle happens to be tight and
the score close, the opposing pitcher
seldom takes a chance witn one oi
the heavy hitters facing him.
"The habit of deliberately serving
four balls wide of the plate has be
come so palpably frequent that the
game is losing interest Hundreds ot
tans go to ball parks in various parts
of the country every day. sometimes
traveling great distances, just to see
the star batters in action. Picture,
their disappointment when these sanid
sluggers are denied the right to wal
lop the ball.
"My idea to better the game is
simple I would make it optional
with the batter whether he accept a
free pas3, one intentionally given The
umpire Bnould be given the final wora
however For instance, if one ot the
well known sluggero was 'up., two
men on base and none out in a close
game tind the pitcher deliberately
shot over four 'wast;' balls, the um
plre-in-chlef should be vested v.irn
authority to make the pitcher put over
at least one good ball
"In the event the pitcher refused
the umpire should be empowered to
order him from the r.ame and plaster
on a fine not t? exc?ed $200. This
may seem radical, but to my way oi
thinking it's orly fair to the public
and to the baitc r
"Should the pitcher, while appar
ently trying to play it safe with one
of these heavy hitters, put oer one
good ball one that the umpire re
gards good enough to be ruled a strike
and the batter refuses to offer at it.
a different condition would arise. In
that case I would move that the bat
ter be given his base on balls In
that way the pitcher would hae gl
en the hitter a single chance to swing
"Another loophole open to the pitch
er who is 'playing It H.nfe' would be
for him intentionally to hit the bat
ter Such an act would appear more
sportsmanlike than that of intentlon
allv lobbing up four bad balls, ail
of them received by the catcher out
side the batter s box "
BOGUS COUNT DOES
NOT SHOW ANXIETY.
New York, Dec. 25. Twirling his
gold eyeglasses with the light non
chalance of the true nobility, "Count

chase, have learned that he was a
salesman and demonstrator of the
Packard Motor company in Pittsburc
He left Pittsburg carrying a check
for 100, which did not represent

cago. In July, It is said, he was arrested
on a grand larcenv charge in Chicago

city while out on ball and went to
London. His mission, he said, was to
establish a foreign sales department
for a foreign make of automobile.
He returned on the La Provence on

sistently turning his peculiar talents
to profit.
In court today Werner was repre
sented by Charles Fisher and O L.
Stepeal. attorney? Fisher stated that
the "count" comes from one of the
best families in Europe, and added
that the "count" could prove that the
rings he is accused of stealing were
given to him voluntarily.
"He has an uncle right here in this
city who Is w'orth more than $10,000 -000,"
said Siegeal. "No. I can't give
you the uncle's name."
De Segurolo, the Metropolitan opera
singer said tonight at his home that
It was not true that he had introduced
the "count" to a woman friends who
later lost $3,000 worth of diamonds
