SAFES IN PULLMAN CARS.
Company Will Provide Protection for
Passengers VaIuables-

Officials of the Pullman company are
considering plans 10 prevent future rob-
berry OF passengers who ride in sleep
ing cars, and one plan which is being
considered is the building Of permanent
safes IN all Pullman cars to be con-
structed in the future, and providing
those coaches now in use with tempo
rary receptacles for vaIuables This
plan, it is thought, would reduce the
chances OF q general Pullman car hold
up, and would also be one that would
appeal to passengers themselves
In addition to being a safeguard
against robbery, it would be a con-
venlence TO the travelling public at all
times Every person who occupies q
Pullman berth has considerable trouble
regarding the best place TO bestow Jew
els or money or both for the night but
with safe in every Pullman car it is
thought that this perpIexing question
would be solved TO the satisfaction Of
most everyone The proposition to put
IN safes is in the line Of betterment OF
the service, and il is likely that it will
be adopted or in its place some other
feasible plan

Campbell to get out of the way were for
warded to the Populist aspirant and the
machinery of the whole affair had been
so well put together that the victory Tor
Duval was a f0regone conclusion, even
before the convention assembled When
the joint convention assembled Duval. on
the first ballot lacked but ten votes OF
having the nomination On the second
ballot Sedgwick county the home OF
Campbell, the Populist aspiraut, gave
Duva1 the necessary number to noni-
nate. In an instant the convention was
in an uprOar. The various delegations
struggled vain1y to change their votes
and make it unanimous. There was a
great scramble for ten or fifteen minutes
and when the confusion ended Duvai
had been declared the unanimous noni-
nee of the joint convention
The only friction which. occurred in the
elimination OF the plans made to noni-
nate Duval in the joint convention was
in the session of the conference commit
tees The Populists demanded that a
three-fOurthS majority be necessary to
nominate in the joint convention The
Democrats wanted a two-thirds rule
Several hours were spent discussing this
proposition and compromise was
reached by splitting the difference
which made seventeen twenty-fourths OF
the total vote necessary to a choice As
there were 227 votes in the joint conven-
ton, under the rule adopted. 1913 were
necessary for a choice DuvaI had 1s3 on

for the train to carry the delegates home
