COFFEYVILLE LOST FIRST OF SERIES Pittsburg Took Game With Ease Score 7 to 3 WAS RAY'S OFF DAY Rustenhaven Pitched Fine Game, Relieving Ray in 3rd The Coffeyville Refiners lost the game yesterday to the Pittsburg Manuals, the first of the series after a tour of the Oklahoma towns of the league, by a score of seven to two. The game was lost in the first two innings; the visitors making five runs three in the first and two in the second.

Rustenhaven was sent in in the early part of the third and allowed two more hits, that netted two runs. Coffeyville made one run in the third and one in the ninth. It took three hits and a walk in the ninth to put over the lone run for Coffeyville. It happened this way: Tice singled; Lengquist singled; Guernie walked, filling the bases, with one man out. Lamb singled, scoring Tice.

Clanton, batting for Dolan, flew out to right fielder; Rustenhaven struck out, dashing the hopes of the locals for a ninth inning rally. In the third when Lambe, the first man up smashed out a three bagger, it looked like the home boys would start a merry go round, but Meek had pretty good GOT Lengquist didn't let any flys get away in right field. control of the situation and only Lam- was allowed to see home, which came when Rustenhaven singled to left. Lingquist fielding in the right, was the feature of the game. He traveled from center to the first base line and made some fine runs and catches.

Rustenhaven, was in good form and ordinarily would have won, but it was a bad day for both Ray and Lambe, although Lambe did some fine pegging to second. COFFEYVILLE AB. R. H. PO.

Labor Board Made It's Announcement Last Night, SAVE 400 MILLION Gave Economic Problem As Reason for Cut in Wages Chicago, May of the average man will be reudced 12 per cent on July 1. This was announced tonight by the U. S. rail labor board. This will pull the average railroad salary down from $141 a month to $125 and will result in an annual saving for the railroads of $400,000,000 the board says.

The board announced it made its decision because of a national economic situation which all must help to solve. "It should be recognized by all" the board's decision reads, "That the problem before us is chiefly an economic one and we are all confronted by adverse and troublesome condi-tions which everyone must help to solve. It should not be looked upon as a struggle between capital and labor or between the management and the employe. The board further justifies its action by the decreased cost of living and the general decrease in wages in other industries. "The decision applies to more than one hundred railroads and more than 30.

classes of employes. It will apply to others in the future where a disptue arises between a railroad and employes. The following are some of the reductions: Passenger engineers, motormen, firemen and helpers are cut 48 cents a day. The same positions in freight service are cut 64 cents a day. Passenger conductors, assistants, baggagemen, flagmen and brakemen are cut $18 a month.

In the freight service men in the same positions will feel a slash of 64 cents a day. All bridge construction and repairmen get a cut of ten cents an hour. Maintenance of way foremen and assistants are ut ten cents, mechanics in the M. of W. and bridge building department will get the same decrease.

Track laborers and common laborers are cut 7 1-2 cents. Roundhouse labor and shops will be reduced ten cents. Machinists, blacksmiths, electrical workers, oilers and others working in shops and, roundhouses are reduced in pay 8 cents an hour. men and operators are Telegraphers, telephons operators, power cut six cents an hour. Clerks of all kinds of two years experience or more are reduced six cents an hour.

Those of less than two years experience will be reduced 13 cents an hour. Train and engine crew callers, gate men, baggage men and parcel room employes, are reduced ten cents an hour. Common labor about stations will be cut 8 1-2 cents. In making the decisions, the board points out that the average will be higher than in January, 1920. At that time the average railroad man's pay was $116 or 40 per cent over the average $79 monthly in 1917.

A year ago the board raised the wages to an average of $141. FOUR YEARS CYCLONE AGO TODAY VISITED ED CITY Four years ago this afternoon about 5:30 o'clock this city was visited by a cyclone which swept over the city following a hot sultry day doing a property damage estimated fatally at a injur- quarter million dollars and ing two persons. Among the homes of the city which were caught in the of the storm thru the residence section were listed those of E. Wettack, Dan Wells, J. H.

Keith, Byron Williams, Jess Graham G. H. Logan, R. H. Muzzy, Mrs.

Hoffman, Mrs. Mattie N. Scroggin, Dr. Ryan, Frank Skinner, Oscar Jensen, T. R.

Hopkins. The cyclone struck the city at Ninth and Hall streets and continuing northwest across the city passed on to Mound Valley where property and loss of one 1 life occured. There some who wondered late damage were yesterday afternoon when a concealed storm threatened, whether it had about it a package of the kind of material it handed the city four years ago. But the direction of the approach rather dispelled any fears of a cyclone. RED CROSS MEETING AT HEALTH CENTER The regular meeting of the Red Chapter will be held in the Cross health center tonight.

Senator Poindexter, of Washington, acting chairman of the naval affairs committee said the plan of the general board of the navy contemplated the maintenance by the United States of a navy equal to any in the world.

Salina, Kansas, May crops will not exceed 90 milion bushels, Morris McAuliffe, president of the Kansas Farmers' Union, in commenting on the report said.

"I have no hesitancy in saying that from what I have observed, the crop this year will not exceed 90 million bushels. I believe this state board's report of a probable million bushels crop is at least millon bushels high. I believe present conditions we are justified in expecting not more than 90 million bushels. "With exceptions of very few counties, a chance for even a reasonable slim, and each day that crop are chance is lessened by lack of moisture." WHEAT CROP REPOR 90,000,000 BUSHELS Wichita, Kans.

CHESTER WILL GO ON STAND EARLY TODAY Alleged Slayer of Miss Barton to Write Testimony ROBERTS TESTIFIED Aim of State to Break Down Alibi in Its Examination Kansas City, May long heralded alibi of Denny Chester charged with having shot Miss Florence Barton to death last October was forecast in the testimony of defense witnesses late today.

Fred Roberts alleged driver of the death car in which the murdered is claimed to have been riding took the stand and testified that Chester was riding with him in a Buick car on the night of murder but denied he had driven the machine outside of the city and also denied knowledge of a third man in the car. Under cross examination Roberts admitted having stopped his car about midnight to get sandwich and also admitted there was a possibility that a third man might have got into the back seat of the car at that time. He denied knowledge of the presence of this third man, however. It is apparently aim of the state to break down the alibi of the defense tomorrow previous to the appearance of the defendant on the stand. It was indicated that an effort will be made to prove that the owner of the machine which Roberts testified was borrowed was also in the machine on the night of the murder.

It is deemed probable that Chester will take the stand tomorrow. Chester's testimony will occupy much time it is believed as the prisoner will write the answers to all questions asked, he not having spoken since his capture at Broken Bow. COFFEYVILLE CAN BOAST OF BIGGEST HEN EGG IS SAID The unusual things more often hapin some far off places. Or at least it seems that way, for when you read about them in the newspapers the date line shows some distant city. But this is one time it happened right here in Coffeyville, and, very likely the biggest hen egg that was ever layed anywhere in the United States was layed in the city East of Coffeyville, and it happened on Tenth, corner of Spring street.

So as to end suspense listen; the hen is owned by Miss Evelyn Griffith, daughter of J. E. Griffith. The measured 7 inches in circumferegg ence and a fraction of an inch longer than three inches, and on the inside of the large egg was another egg, about the size of an ordinary hen egg, and not a small egg either, in fact the egg on the insile of the large egg, also enclosed in a hard shell, was larer than the most eggs that even you will find on sale at the stores. Both eggs were perfectly formel and normally shaped.

Mr. Griffith is not in the chicken business, just has a few hens for his own use, and says the is not for sale. The two eggs hen were brought to the News office where they' were carefully examined and measured, yesterday. SANTA FE WHOLESALE MAKES.
