October 28, 1908, the surplus’ had been reduced to 110,912 and thie shortage had increased to 10,839, leaving a net surplus of 100,073. This was a decline in available cars since July of 208,098. “On July 21, 1909, the surplus was 243,354, and the shortage 339, mak- ing a net surplus of 243,015 cars. On October 27, 1909, the surplus had been reduced to 30,896, and the shortage had increased to 36,636, leaving a net shortage of 5,740 cars. This was a reduction in the available car supply since July of 248,755. “On July 20, 1910, the surplus was 134,594, and the shortage 1,293, making a net surplus of 133,301. By October 26, the surplus was down to 13,072 and the shortage up to 21,- 896, making a net shortage of 8,824 cars. This was a reduction in net available car supply since July of 142,125. “On July 19, 1911, the surplus was 150,433, and the shortage 1,361, making a net surplus of 149,072. By October 25 the surplus was down to 39,306, and the shortage up to 18,- 774, leaving a net surplus of 20,532. This was a reduction in the available car supply since July of 128,540 cars. “In these four years the reduction in the net car supply between the third week in July and the third week in October varied from 128,540 to 248,755 cars. On July 18, 1912, the surplus wag 75,389, and the shortage 6,467, making a net surplus of 68,922. Therefore, if the reduc- tion in the available car supply be- tween July and October, 1912, be on- ly equal to the smallest reduction that has taken place in the same per- jod in any of the preceding four years, viz: 128,540 cars, we would be confronted on October 25 with a net shortage of 59,618 cars. If the re- duction in the available supply of cars should be as great as it was in 1909, we would face on October 25 a shortage of 179,833 cars. Serious Blow to Business. “The situation created by even the smaller of these shortages would be appalling and the resulting losses suffered by all commercial, industrial and transportation interests enorm- ous. . “Conditions that are likely to cause a heavy demand for, and a rapid re- duction in the supply of cars exist The amount of traffic handled varies greatly during different parts of the year. During about eight months there usually are large car surpluss- es. During about four months, be- ginning around October 1, there are apt to be shortages. This is owing chiefly to the fact that that is the season of heaviest crop movement. The crop prospects in the west this year are unusually good. That helps to make the prospect of a car short- age unusually bad. “The managers, however, cannot do everything. If the bad situation now threatening is to be averted, they must have the hearty support and co-operation of the shippers and consignees of the country. The ship- pers and consignees can give such support and co-operation in at least two ways: 1. By moving all the Ilumber, coal, cement and other freight that they can Vithin the next few weeks, instead of delaying and throwing it all on the railways when they are staggering under the crop movement. 2. Shippers and consignees can greatly help themselves, the railways and all other shippers and consignees by loading and unloading all cars de- livered to them as expeditiously as practicable. Every time the loading or unloading of a car is needlessly de- layed the available’supply of cars is needlessly reduced; and no shipper has any right to complain that he is not furnished enough cars if he is by his own acts needlessly and wrong- fully reducing the available supply of cars. Cars are furnished for trans- portation, not for storage; and ev- ery one used for storage reduces the number available for transportation. 3. Shippers can help greatly by loading all cars to as near their ca- pacity as practicable. The more freight there is loaded in each car the less cars will be required to move all of the freight. “There has been a great deal of talk in recent years about the need for better co-operation between rail- ways and shippers. Here is a matter regarding which they can heartily and energetically co-operate to the very great gain of both.” Manager Charlie Dooin is using “Cactus” Cravath as a pinch hitter for the Quakers, and “Cactus” is some hitter, i L e " |tortured to death by the bloodthirsty “|arranged for these services. AVIATORS WANT ARMOR (Continued: from first page.) Pilots against rifie fire from the ground. It is probable that in the near future the aviator’s seat in all army aeroplanes will be protected with light armor from firing from be- neath. There will also be an inves- tigation of the bullet proof clothing recently brought out in Japan, with the idea of adopting some such sort of uniform for the members of the signal corps. BIG TIME IN NEW ULM versary of Sioux Attack and Massacre. New Ulm, Aug. 17.—The citizens of this city have made extensive pre- parations for a celebration, next|, “The New Ulm Massacre,” in which more than 2,000 men, women and children were brutally butchered or savages. Today it is .exactly fifty two women and a young girl, which wanton act precipitated the uprising of the Indians of that locality and the subsequent massacre. begin until tomorrow and will be 25. One of the principal features of the celebration will be the reassemb- ling in this city, of the 150 or so surviving defenders of New Ulm and Fort Ridgely, some of whom came from Nicollet, St. Peter, Mankato, Le- | Sueur and other places in Minnesota. Several hundred former citizens of New Ulm, now living in various oth- er parts of the country, have also ex- pressed their willingness to visit their former home town on the oec- casion of this semi-centennial cele- bration. Tomorrow there will be memorial services in all the churches of this city, and special programs have been Mon- day will be devoted to the welcom- ing of visiting pioneers. Tuesday afternoon there will be a general re- union of old settlers and their descen- dants and in the evening the surviv- ing defenders and pioneers will be the guests of honor at a banquet at Turner hall, of the “Junior Pioneers of New Ulm and Vicipity,” an organ- ization, composed of the sons and daughters of those who settled about New Ulm prior to or immediately following the massacre. This organ- ization, which was mainly instru- mental in arranging this celebra- tion, now ' members two hundred members. The big day of the week, so far as New Ulm is concerned, will be Wednesday. The program for that day includes addresses by Governor of Professor Reuter and A. J. Alwin, ball games and aeroplane flights, in all parks, a grand ball at Turner. hall, and a big parade of a historical character in which the militia of this Fort Snelling will take part. tion of monuments erected to mark spots of historical interest in con- nection with the massacre, and to an automobile parade and band concert in the evening. On visiting pioneers will be taken on sightseeing trips and on Sunday will be “German Day”-under the auspices of the State German Alliance.

Saturday the| New York Giants Cannot Be Depend- ed Upon to Win Pennant—Case of Detroit Tigers. Nothing in baseball can be taken for granted. Not even the Giants— though they appear just at present to be the real class of their league, su- perfor in ability and condition, forti- fled as no other team has ever been before with substitutes as good as their regulars, a perfect baseball ma- chine, every department intact and with a manager second to none in knowledge of the up-to-date game and ability to bandle men—can be put down with absolute surety to be the ones to go under the wire in the lead. The case of the Detroit Tigers last season affords a convincing illustra- tion of how suddenly the bottom drops out of a fabric woven with baseball life he leads.”—Life. | threads.

The Giants’ fabric seems right now to be much stronger than was the Tigers’ of last season, but— All of the present Giant players, with the - exception” of Mathewson, Wiltse and Ames, got the first whiff in their nostrils of the delightful aroma that is thrown off by the “long green” that goes to the men who participate [n world’s series games. That fra- grance still lingers with them and has made them rabidly hungry for another smell of the financial joy fluid that will go with the world’s series this fall. They are more than anxious to be- come saturated again with the addi- tional fragrance of glory and horors and money that is only to be obtained by the plucking of the rose that is. emblematic of the baseball champion- ship of the universe. This is their one ambition now and they are after It hotfoot and with confidence. Then, again, a trip around the world after the season is finished is another probable reward that will ac- crue to the winners of the National league pennant, and that is another big inducement for them to put forth their best efforts from start to finish of this race. Arrangements for such a trip have gone so far .and have been so well perfected that it is virtually assured. Even the money for it has been guar- anteed—furnished, in fact. PLAYERS RECALL OLD TIMES Frank Smith and Harry Gaspar, For mer Cincinnati Pitchers, Delay Game to Talk. Frank Smith and Harry Gaspar pitched a game against each other at Montreal the other day. There was nothing the matter with the pitching—both were in good form and showed all sorts of class—but the game was prolonged way .into dark ness because Harry and Frank want ed to exchange so many reminiscences of Cincinnatl days. Once, when Smithy was at bat, Harry came in .[to hold a gabfest, and they talked for 17 minutes about the good times they had with the Reds. Then they switched into opinions concerning H O'Day and the chances of the Reds Frank Smith. till the umpire finally had to pull a watch and glve them one minute: to B0 on with the game. Even then he couldn’t stop them. and was up a tree, for the simple reason that, as they were on ! different clubs, one with Montreal nnd the other with To- ronto, he couldn’t decide which one to penalize and. which one to forfeit the game to.
