PASSES TO CONTINUE
" Western Roads Fail to Abolish Free
Transportation

st. Louis, Oct. 26.-At the meeting Of
the executive officials of the western
roads in this city, the report of the
special committee of vice presidents,
appointed to confer and correspond
with the various interests on the fat
proposition to abolish free transporta-
t1On for the ensuing year was submit
ted to the meeting It showed that Of
mileage in the western territory, or
$4,000 miles, were in favor of WiDing
out free transportation. but the meet
ing felt that il was not exDedient at
this time to introduce such a sweeping
measure The report was approved and
the committee was continued with di-
rectiOns TO correspond with lines in
other territory east and south, looking
to concurrent action in the future. The
pass agreement embOdying rules, regu-
IauOnS and restrictions governing free
transportation for the present year was
reafhrmed for the coming year.
The intent of the reaffirmed agree
ment is to limit the issuance of free
nSpOrtatiOn-Whichi is understood to
include not only annual and time pass
eS, but also trip passes, trip tickets,
mileage tickets. and all other forms of
free and reduced trauSp uSpOrCatiOn-SO far
as the same can be done with due re-
gard to the interests Of the roads, and
II is distinctly understood and agreed
that no free or reduced transportation
shall be issued to influence the securing
OF routing of business. No annual time
OF trip passes SudlL De issued TO en-
plOyeS OF foreign roads or their families
including members of this agreement
unless request is signed by the presi-
dent, vice president. general manager
or general superintendent.
No annual time or trip passes shall
be issued to representatives of street or
cable railway companies; nor the rep
reseutatiVes Of foreign lines occupying
the position of coal sales agents or coal
agents, or those engaged in other COM
mercial business nor to representatives
OF refrigerator. tank line and other pri-
Vate car companies not owned or con-
trOiled by railroad companies.
Annual time or trip passes for char
table and personal purposes may be
issued at the discretion of the different
companies; provided, that the local
committee shall be previously informed
in cases wherein the control of traffic
may possibly be involved
Unless special reasons therefore are
furnished the committee, exchanges
of annual, time or trip passes will not
be made with railway lines of less than
50 miles unless a direct connection
and lines Of less than 100 miles will not
be granted more than three annuaIs
Business men or shippers, or those in
position TO influence business, shall not
be furnished transportation as bonds
men or as directors in local or auxfIf-
ary companies; nor shall shippers of
any kind be placed on the pay rolls, for
the purpose or with the result of fur
nishing them transportation
Land and immigration agents. except
those employed permanently and car
ried regularly on the monthly pay rolls
of railroad companies, may be given
time passes limited to periods not ex-
ceeding three months, and not to be
extended or renewed unless the results
have proven satisfactory.

about ), 500 gallons of water and about
Is tons of coal This new tender, and
all others like it which are to be built
here, viii be used on the heavy through
freight runs, thus doing away with the
necessity of stopping so often to take
coal and water. The new tender is
larger than ordinary tenders and diff
ferS in a few main points
In making the tender larger the wa
ter capacity is increased and likewise
the coal space Also the collar OF the
tank is extended upwards and forms
sides for the pihng in of additional coal.
The top Of the tank slopes gradually in
towards the center and in this way the
coal is by it's own weight continually
forced to the front where it can be cas-
iIy used by the fireman This feature
saves the fireman from having to climb
upon top of the coal to push it for
ward, and prevents any amount of coal
from lying on top Of the tank.

THEIR LIFE BLOOD.
Clerks of Appellate Court May Find
Themselves Without Remun-
Grafton.

The clerks and stenographers Of the
courts of appeals are considerably WOr-
ried just at present over the outcome
OF motion which IS now pending In
the supreme court, and which viii be
decided in the near future. It is q ques-
ton which involves not only their al
aries. but may render them liable for
all the fees they have collected in the
past In fact, if the contention of the
parties making the motion is decided
favOrably by the supreme court il may
result in suspending the operations OF
the court of appeals altogether.
The motion is a simple one on its
face, being merely to retax the costs IN
a case in which the La Cygne stare
bank is involved, but in reality it is
cOntended that the clerk of the supreme
court has no authority to tax costs in
supreme court cases If this cOnten-
ton holds good, and the appellate court
clerks are fearful that it viii, it means
that the clerks of the courts of appeals
also have no authority to tax costs As
their salaries depend solely upon the
costs which they assess and collect II
the supreme court SuStaiuS this motion
they will be left without any salaries.
In addition to that they are under
bond. and if they have collected costs
illegally, the parties from whom they
have made the collections can come
back on to them or their bOndsmen for
what they have already received
The clerk of the supreme court and
the other employees of that court are
not bothered about the motion, as they
are upon fixed salaries, which they viii
receive from the state whether they
collect any fees or not, but with the
clerks OF the courts Of appeals. it is
different.
The authority of the clerk of the su-
preme court to assess costs has been
discussed heretofore, but the question
has never been brought before the su-
preme court The question was brought
up before Judge Hazen at one time, but
it was never decided C J. Brown.
clerk OF the supreme court, sued the
Shawnee commissioners for his fee for
making a. record in a certain case, and
the contention was made ~ the county
that the clerk had no right to tax
costs Judge Hazen decided the case in
favor Of the county on other grounds
and the fee question was left unde-
cided-
IF the statutes are in the same con
dition now Judge Hazen said today
''as they were when I went through
that question, the supreme court VIII

1t is understood that the contention
of those who claim that the supreme
court clerk can assess costs will be
based upon the claim that the repeating
