es, and the usual number Of mail and bag
gage cars. New dining cars, which are
said to be marvels of beauty, are being

different model from those generally in

panseq of heavy plate, g.ass.

as an illuminant In favor of a new system
of electric lighting which has not pre-
viously been tried on Northern roads.
Each car will be independently supplied
with. lighting power from motors on the
car axle. Storage batteries are used to
furnish power when the coach Is not In
motion, and these are stored away out OF
sight under the floor of the car and be-
tween, trucks, The new trains will be
broad vestibuled throughout, and will be
hauled by new express locomotives capa-
Bic of making eighty-five miles an hour

CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Representatives of

to the disturbing rate cutting on colonist

The members, however, are to meet again
today. 1t was said yesterday that the

as the Great Northern promises to do So
Upon this settlement really depends the
satisfactory solution Of the transcon-

passenger agents seemed to think that
settlement would be reached. Positive
orders, 1t was said, had been received
from the financial powers governing the
railroad situation to the effect that all
rates in all directions must be restored
to normal tariffs and maintained there.
The question Of rebates on Montana
points is about settled also. Arrange

banks at the various points to pay tho

understood, also, that as soon as the rate

Joseph BOxel Relates to the Court
That He Has Not Been Allowed
to Visit the Children as the
Court Directed, and Asks That
His Wife Be Adjudged In Con-
tempt.
Mrs. Lizzie M. Boxell, wife of Joseph
Boxell, of Buffalo, has been ordered by
the state supreme court to appear before
the bar of the court tomorrow and show
cause why she should not be punished
for contempt of court The order Is an
echo of the Boxell murder case tried last
fall at Buffalo, Mimi, in which Joseph
BoXell, the complainant. was accused Of
numbering his father and mother, but was
not convicted.
After the trial Mrs. Boxeu refused to
live with her husband. Joseph Boxell
took his two children from Mrs. Boxell,
who was making her home with her faith
er, Robert Robinson, of Victor township.
Habeas corpus proceedings were resorted
to, and in the supreme court the order
of the lower court requiring Boxel1 to
return the children to his wife was sus-
be allowed to visit the children twice a
week.
The complaint alleges that Mrs Boxell
has not complied with the order OF the
court. The father asserts that he has
called frequently at the home of Mrs.
BoxelPs father, and that his visits have
been of most unsatisfactory character.
Prior to the middle of November the chill
dren were allowed to play in small
yard where the father was allowed to WIS.,
1t them. Since then, however. he has
repeatedly had the door slammed in his
face. He has never, he AYERS, been al
lowed to touch the children, and only at
times has he been permitted to talk to
his offspring, and then through shut
ter Very frequently he has been unable
to get any satisfaction whatever, as the
house is always locked up when he comes
to make a visit to the children. He has,
he says, stood out In the cold every time
he has been allowed the privilege Of see
ing the children, and he appeals to the
court to enforce its order requiring the
wife to allow him to visit the children.
In conclusion, Boxelrs complaint
against his wife says: THAT by reason
of all the facts hereinbefore set forth,
this affiant is deprived Of his rights as
father, as ordered by the courtI to keep
and cultivate the affections Of said chill
dren, and that the love and affection Oh
said children is being estranged and alien
ated from him by reason OF the d1sobeol-
ence Of said order Of this court by said
Lizzie M. Boxell."
The concluding paragraph asks that
Mrs. Boxell be brought into court to show
cause why she should not be punished
for contempt.

together.

General baggage agents now are vot-
ing upon the proposition recently made
at a meeting of executive officers of roads
in the Western Passenger association to
cease the checking of unlocked articles
as baggage. The general impression is
that the Western roads will adopt the
proposition. Said passenger official yes
terday:
"a great many persons would COM
plain against rule disqualifying tele-
scopes and other lockless things from tho
list of legitimate baggage. However, the
roads should agree not to check unlocked
articles in justice to themselves. If
telescopes were thrown out Of the list
there would be fewer claims for the
value of articles presumably lost in
transit"
