Novel Feature In Telephone Work

While the fact that the roar of Nj
agara Falls has recently been heard
in New York over the telephone is
generally known, but little has been
said Of the novel in which the
transmitter was brought within range
of the noise Of the falling water.
After investigation, it was decided
that the Cave of the Winds would be
the best place at which to gather the
sound. as there the falls a be ap.
preached more closely than at almost
any other place. On n rocky ledge in
the cave, under the center fall, was
placed a wooden box, in which was
secured a telephone, with a 'colid-
back" tranSmitter. TO this was at
tached a sheet-iron funnel, 20 inches
long and about IA inches in diameter
ut the outer end. Three batteries were
placed in the box, bit only two were
used. The box was wrapped in can
n TO protect the apparatus from the
constantly falling spray. When the
sound was first listened 10 at the New
York end, the impression it conveyed
was that of the kissing of Il gigantic
sheet of spray, and hardly a sugges-
ton of the thunder" of the falls was
audible. This was subsequently rem
edied by moving the box in the cave.
At the point where it was first placed
two distinct sounds are produced by
the falling tons Of water. One, "A
sharp kissing sound. like escaping
steam, is made by the water ms it
curls over the rocks below and goes
sweeping out into the river. The
other is the deep pounding roar made
by the striking Of the mighty column
on the rocks or water below. By
moving the telephone IL or Is feet
further back, the roar was caught and
the kissing prO~portiOnately reduced.
The result was that an average note
was heard at the other end OF the
462-mile line, although it was as curl
u as interesting to observe how
from time to time IL would be domin-
ated alternately by the deeper diapa,
sou Of the impact Of the falls, or the
sibllant hurting Of the spray.

Later Mr.. Bryan made an open-air speech
from the balcony Of the hotel, addressing
the vast crowd which filled Monroe street
from State street TO Wabash avenue. The
Bland Club of Missouri. headed nv the
Bland Silver band, marched 70 the Clifton
house and serenaded the new Democratic
nominee. The loud cries for Bryan and de-
mands for a speech brought Mr.. Bryan to
the balcony, where he was cheered again
and again. He was followed by two men
bearing an enormous American flag. AS

MIDGLEY IS UNEASY.
Western Freight Chairman Wants
to Save the Pool.

The st. Paul roads which still remain
loyal to the Western Freight assoeia-
ton, which is on the verge of total dis
memberment, were very much worried
yesterday over the outlook That the
association will break up completely
before the end of the month is assured
Several lines. other than the Rock
Island and the Atchison, are mourning
over grievances of their own and there
viii be other boilers unless the asso-
citation gets after itself and calls the
recalcitrants to time.
1t is understood that a meeting of
the executive officers of the associa-
ton will be held in Chicago today for
the purpose of fixing upon some plan
of reorganization to be carried out in
case the worst happens. Virtually, the
Western Passenger association is
Busted now, and the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Is bound to grow unless prompt meas
ures are taken Immediately Chairman
Midgley does not want to lose his job
for one thing, and the breach will give
him an opportunity to display his
diplomacy as he has never displayed it
before. Break-ups in the Western
freight association are not uncommon
There has never been an association
which lasted any great length of time
but, perhaps, the present organization
has lasted as long or longer than any
other. There were no new develop
ments reported in local railroad circles
yesterday, but all freight officials are
watching the face of the moon. with
interest. Many of the roads who did
not care to create a breach themselves
are delighted at the smash-up secretly,
and unless the first of the month
passes over with matters patched up,
there will be fun ahead.

WESTERN FREfGHTs sMAsH-UP
Dissolution of the Association Seems
to Come Hourly Nearly to the
Realization.

The Northern Pacific RAILROAD has
been placed in very unhappy pre-
dicament through the unsatisfied am
hition of the Western Passenger as
sociation. There are at present over
100 doctors and their wives roaming
around the mountain tops at Yellow
stone Park who will swear when they
learn the particulars. These doctors
came to the late convention of the
Mississippi Valley Medical association
and went west at the conclusion of the
convention to the National Park on re-
dIced rates offered by the Northern
Pacific. Each of the party was the
holder of a special rate ticket from
Southern and Eastern points, the time
>of which has already expired. How
ever, before the excursion started, the
Chicago lines individually agreed to
honor the tickets as soon as the party
came out of the park This agreement
was not according to the rules of the
Western Passenger association per-
hapS, but then it was a small matter
and no trouble was expected. However,
an official Of the association learned
OF the fact that the Chicago lines in
tended to honor the expired tickets,
and each line was summarily ordered
not to do so. This left the Chicago
lines in a very peculiar predieament.
They were between two fires. They
were either bound to stand by the
passenger association. or else violate
their private agreement with the
Northern Pacific. In either case they
are bound to earn some ones displeas-
ure. In case the association agreement
is observed, the Northern Pacific will
undoubtedly make good the losses to
the tourists. Chairman Caldwell, Of
the W. P. A, and local Secretary Kin
nan are determined that the rules shall
be observed.

Long Fight of Shippers Carried to
H. Successful End,

CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Western freight rates
took another tumble today, the coal tariff
being the to go under. All the Western
roads have declared a rate of 50 per ton on
hard coal from Joliet and Chicago to Kansas
City The previous rate was 1920. The re-
duction is the outcome of long and hard
fight that the coal shippers have been wag-

been at the roads for the reduction for sew
