MR.. M'LEOD ADVANCED.
Rock Island Passenger Agent Pro-
NOTED to a Post in Chicago.

Mr.. Eben e. Mcleod, for the past
year assistant general passenger agent
of the Rock Island in this city with
jurisdiction over the lines west of the
Missouri river, has been appointed first
assistant general passenger a agent of the
road with headquarters in Chicago. He
succeeds Mr.. S. F. Boyd, who has been
transferred to higher duties connected
directly with the passenger traffic.
Mr.. Macleod will take up the duties
of his new position on December l. He
will be succeeded in this city by Mr.. E.
w. Thompson, for a number of years
one of the travelling passenger agents of
the road.
The promotion of Mr.. Macleod is one
of several changes in the practical re-
organization of the Rock Island passen-
ger department. Mr.. George w. Du-
back. assistant general passenger agent
at Chicago has also been assigned to
higher duties, and will continue to be
associated with Mr.. Boyd. He will be
succeeded by Mr.. L. NJ. Allen. now gen.
eral agent of the road at Davenport,
Iowa
Mr.. Macleod has been in this city but
a short time, but he has already become
one of the most popular of Topeka rail-
road men. He is young man and en-
ereetic and if his future official career
resembles his official career in the past,
he will eventually stand at the head of
the Rock Island passenger department.

A CHANGE OF BASE.
Central Passenger Association Will
Not Dissolve.

Chicago, Nov 1O.-Genera1 passenger
agents of the more prominent railroads in
the territory between Chicago and Pitts
burg and Buffalo and the great lakes and
the Ohio river have, at a meeting held IN
this city, decided that the organiZa ton
under which they have been working the
Central Passenger association. was in Vio-
lation of the supreme court ruling in the
Joint Traffic case.
But instead of following the lead OF the
parties to the latter agreement and Kill
ing the association, it was voted to mere
~ change the constitution and eliminat e
such parts of it were believed to be
contrary to the decision of the chief JUS
tees. The old agreement of the Central
ia blishment and maintenance OF rates
This clause was entirely cut out, and in
its stead inserted one setting forth
that the objects of the organization are
to interchange authentic information re-
garding tariffs and unreasonable rates
and to cooperate with the interstate COM
merce commission in preventing and in
Vestigating illegal cuts
The association was not disbanded, nor
fact. there was material change in the
organization aside from the elimina ton
of the obnoxious clause regarding agreed
rates. F. c. Donald will continue to act
as commissioner of the amended associa-
ton.
sOciatiOn regarding the decision was sim
liar to that of the Central Passenger as
ISOLATION.
The amended constitution of the Cen
trail Passenger association will be referred
to the presidents of the roads in the or
ganization for considerable a. a meeting
to be held in Chicago next Tuesday.

Chicago Professor to Visit Juaris In

Chicago. Nov 1O.--Prof Frederick Starr.
the noted anthropolOgist of the University
anything is impossible. Within month
tirety no white man has ever accomDlish-
ed and in the attempt at performing which
many have lost their lives.
The hazardous undertaking which he
has resolved upon will be to penetrate a
Mexico, in and about the Gulf of Tehaun-
tepec. which is inhabited by ten tribes of
the most barbarous Indians extant. Five
villages in particular Will be visited-San
DiOniSiO. San Francisco, 1XhuatOn. San
MateO and Santa Maria which are stu
ated on as many narrow islands and which
only one White man has ever reached be-
cause of the opposition of the Juaris In
But believing that the inhabitants are
of so distinctive type in many ways as
to render the results of a study of them
a valuable addition to anthrOpolOgy. Prof.
to have in his party, besides himself. a
wealthy physician of London, who is the
only white man TO successfully penetrate
there on horseback over a distance of / 200
miles. Besides a quantity of provisions
the party will carry 1000 pounds of plaS-
para phernalia. The plaster will be used
in making busts of the different types of
humanity discovered and the photograph
ing apparatus to take pictures of the peO-
pie Measurements of the natives will
also be made. all of which material will
be used in further study of the people
from a physical standpoint.
enterprise however. will be an attempt
to reach island upon which it is report
ed are sacred caves, which are worshiped
J by the natives of the surrounding terri
tory. The island is not known to have
yet been visited by white man. Sew
eral attempts have been made, but the
Adventures have persisted each time
Prof. Starr says he expects to meet re-
sistance at the hands of at least two of
the ten tribes but that he believes he
will be able to accomplish his task by
diplomacy If this fails he will ask the
Mexican government to provide him with
a company of soldiers.
The noted scientist expects to leave the
latter part of November and to be gone
about four months.
