MEETINGS AT CHICAGO
Arc Not Accomplishing Very Much
on the Pooling scheme.
lSpeclAl 10 The PnSt.l


Chicago, September 6.-Representa-
running west from Chicago are meeting
here With view to organizing an associ-
alton for the control OF business west OF
the river. After two days session the
immediate prospect of an agreement is
little better than at the beginning, The
trouble lies with the Santa Re. whose Of
fcials are demanding a larger proportion
CT military business than the lines are
willing to accord. Thus far nothing but
military business has been discussed.
Ii was agreed today to submit the west
bound business TO arbitration and Chair
man Macleod Of the Western Passenger
association was appointed arbitrator with
the power to select two others.
On east bound business no progress
has been made, the Santa Fe demanding
one-half of all military traffic east from
the coast to a line drawn straight south
through Ogden. The position OF the SAN
ia Fe has been ali along that military
traffic east and west should be divided
equally clear through II at all. Originally
the demand WAS Tor one. third o. all mil
itary traffic routed via Ogden. Under the
plan now proposed the business west from
Chicago would be divided into steven
equal parts from Colorado common points
to Ogden and then equslly between the
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific from
ogden to the coast. like division per-
tanning on east bound traffic. The Santa
FEES demands are considered unreasona-
BILE by all other lines and may result in
blocking the formation of an association.
The so-callsd northern lines are not rep
resented. President Mellen sending word
that for one he would not enter into any
pooling agreements.
Presidents and executive officials Of
western lines are in session trying to
perfect the organization OF the four ter
ritorial committees. The main trnu IL

Boyd Parker, n Lamptrimmcr, Re-
cctved II Fatal Shock Last Night.
About 1880 o'clock last night Boyd Par

the Citizens Electric Light and Power
company. received a fatal shock while
hosting the lamp at the intersection of
Caroline street and Capitol avenue. Par
ker drove up to the corner and got out
of his vehicle 30 work on the lamp. lie
lowered the lamp so that he could work
on it from the ground and flashing the
work he returned to the reel on the post
at the corner to raise the lamp again. He
was turning the reel when his foot slipped
into The gutter. AS soon AZ he felt him
self slipping into the ditch he threw up
the support of which he could keep from
falling. He grabbed the wire with which
he was raising the lamp and received a
shock from which he died almost instant
lY, When his hand came in contact with
The live wire he was thrown into the
ditch. where he lay until some persons
who had seen him fall rushed to his as
sistance, Although he groaned several
times after receiving the shock. he never
spoke. All efforts on the part Of those
who went to the unfortunate mans as
sistanoe to revive him failed and he was
taken to Westheimer's undertaking es-
adjustment.

age and resided at the corner OF Bowling

WORK OF NATURALIZATION.
Galveston Terminals Are Being
Gradually Repaired.

Gradually Repaired.
In railway circles matters are stlll cen-
siderably jumbled up on account OF the
recent, storm, and it will require at least
a month to fully straighten up.
Such. work as has been completed was
done hurriedly in order to expedite and
facilitate the movement of freight as
much as practicable, but at the same
time the roads make no pretention to hay-
ing re-established conditions at Galveston.
Such task could not have been accom-
plshed and no road claims that it has
been done.
Traffic IS opened between Houston and
Galveston and freight is moving fre5ly,
but in Galveston the tracks, terminals
and yards have been 80 badly damaged It
will take time to rebuild them. For this
reason shippers are urged TO be lite
patient.
Every road entering the Island City has
done its utmost to get eve ything II
shlpshape as rapidly as possible and this
work Is still going on. The task is s.u-
pendous on account of the enormity OF
the damage done, and it will require TINA
to perfect matters.
a great deal of cotton which in the nat
ural order of affairs should move through
Galveston is going by way OF New Or
leans and for two reasons. one is the
storm and the other is that Texas shippers
will not pay % cents a bale tribute to
certain monopolies which are trying to
control the cotton trade. This Is not only
unfortunate for Galveston, but for the
roads running into that city as they are
being indirectly boycotted by foreign buy
ers who will fight the Galveston Maritime
association to finish.

CUTTING OF TROLLEY WIRES
A WORK THAT MAY RESULT IN LOSS
OF INNOCENT LIVES.
Trouble, as Its Wires Are
being Tampered With.

For the past three OF four nights trolley
the trolleys are suspended have been
cut and the wires grounded, thus interfer-
ing with the street car service. The most
serious interference, however. was on
Tuesday night when the wires on Ave
different lines were cut--ssn Felipe,
La Branch.
Ut is not known by whom these wires
are cut, but close watch is being kept
and the law viii be invoked to the fullest
limit of its penalty II any one Is caught
with sufficient proof to establish his guilt.
This vandalism Is not only destruos i've
to the property OF the street car company
and the cause Of great annoyance and loss
Of time TO the public, but Is q menace TO
the lives of the people who traverse the
streets where the wires have been cut.
~
The company has been having trouble
with the linemen recent y. though it is
not meant to connect them in any way
with the outrage referred TO above
When seen yesterday, Manager Mac
gregor said shat several molths
ago the linemen demanded better
schedule. which was conceded them. After
the storm there came an increased de-
mand for this character OF work and the
linemen demanded SO per day for eight
hours. time and a half for over time and
double time on Sundays. Mr.. MacGregor
says that he would not agree to this as a
permanent schedule in justice to his 9TH
er employees. but that since the linemen

OF the demand His linemen have Gu I

PUNCTUALHY
A VIRTUE

If there is one virtue more than an
It is punctuality. Not one woman in
ten knows the value of promptness,
and the sex suffers from it. This femi-
nine fault has stood in the path Of
advancement in business. 1t has de-
prived more than one innocent woman
of bit of pleasure which men could
and would give If they were not thor
oughly out of patience with the man
ner in which punctuality is regarded.
The mischief begins at home, when
boys come to know the faults of the
women of their family. After many
trying experiences with mother and
sisters, they learn to class all women
in the careless set and girls who may
be exceptions suffer because they can
not be allowed an opportunity to prove
their virtues. Business women have
made stride in the direction of i'm
provement. They have been forced to
1t by the necessity of bread winning.
They are not yet perfect in the knowl-
edge or practice of punctuality be-
cause they are often late to business,
and more often are utterly oblivious
to the Importance of promptness in
social engagements. Idle women are
the worst sinners of the lot Note the
fashionable church wedding, announc-
cd for high noon. Twelve O'Clock finds
the church filled and the sidewalk
overflowing with unbidden guests.
while the organist has to call upon his
wits to keep everybody from realizing
THAT the ceremony is behind time
Whose is the fault? Not the groom's,
for he arrived a whole hour before the
church began to fill, and has passed an
eternity Of nervous waiting in the Sc
clusion of the vestry room. The bride

process without a thought for the
waiting guests. Does she look ner-
vous when she arrives from ten to
thirty minutes behind the hour? Not
at all. She has been late all her life,
and sees no reason for changing her
habits. The prospective groom has
waited for her during the period OF
courtship, and in all probability he
will continue to do so to the end o.
his welded life. l presume that wo
men have no real conception of the
influence their tardy habits have upon
the disposition of men. Promptness
has been drilled into them from boy
hood. Business is founded on it, and
successful enterprises are carried
through it. Patience is not a mascu-
line trait, and whatever passes for it
in the male character will not stand a
severe strain.
