RAILROAD news
FROM ALL POINTS,
Proposition to Make Uniform Elk
cursiOn Rates All Over West
ern Territory.
CAUSED BY COLORADO RATES.
Arguments Advanced by Those
Whose Lines Are Not Bene-
fited-After the Wabash
General Notes.

Since It was known that the Rock Island
would take individual action and put into
effect cheap excursion rates to Colorado
common points from all points in Western
Passenger Association territory. it was ex-
pected that some of the roads which would
not be benefited by this traffic would adopt
retaliatory measures.
Chairman MacIevad Of the Western
Passenger Association has issued notices
which call for a vote on a proposition to
reduce rates during this summer and fall
to all points in Western Association terri
tory. In other words, some lines desire to
not only meet the rates put in by the Rock
Island to Colorado common points, but to
extend the territory SO as to include all COM
mon points west of Chicago and st. Louis
and as far north as the Great Lakes.
1t will be that last year the
lines In Western territory which were not
benefited by the Colorado excursions put in
similar reduced rates to summer resorts i'm
Michigan and Wisconsin. The argument
Used was that if II was profitable to the
ROCK Island to reduce rates to Colorado
common points. it would also be profitable
to reduce them to other summer resorts in
the reduced rates put in by the Rock
Island were the cause Of attracting travel
to Colorado at the expense of the other
lines. then reduced rates to the North
western resorts were not only justiiable,
but necessary to protect the traffic of the
other lines.
Whether the pending proposition is voted
favorably by lines in the Western
Passenger Association. or is negatived, as
that of the Rock Island was. II seems GER
and the reduced rates made uniform to ali
in Western Association territory.

ARE AFTER THE WABASH.
Western Lines Will Insist Upon High
err Rates From kunSan CITY.

Chicago. ILL.,, April 6.-Western general
passenger agents at their meeting Saturday
wreStled with q matter that threatens to
cause generalization of Pan-American Ey-
position rates in Western territory. The
row Is over a differential rate that the
Wabash is maintaining from Kansas CITY
to Buffalo and New York. The Wabash is
conceded to be the short line between those
points; and makes quicker time by several
lines feel that the Wabash, with the ad-
vantages that it possesses, should not he
allowed to enjoy a lower rate than they

City and the Southwest.
All efforts made to induce the Wabash to
change its position have failed. and as the
road was not represented at the meeting,
the general conclusion was reached that il
means to fight. TIL Wabash competitors
are now determined to meet whatever rates
that road may make on account of the Ex-
position, and notices to this effect will be
served upon 1t in 4 few days by a part if
not all of the lines.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 6.-The effort to Sc
cure the release Of the Younger brothers
from the State prison at Saltwater by pre-
venting Chief Justice Start from sitting in
judgment upon the case resulted Satur-
day morning in its own defeat, the Deming
bill, which had previously passed both
houses and gone TO the Governor for his
signature, being Indefinitely postponed by
a vote of 50 to so.
When the bill came up it was amended so
as to have State Auditor Dunn substituted
for Chief Justice Start.
Enemies of the bill grew active at once.
and declared it was too much like framing
up a packed jury. for Dunn is as strongly
in favor Of paroling them as Start is cp-
posed to it.
Two hours of hot discussion resulted in a
motion for indefinite postoonement.
1t Is now claimed by Senators Wilson,
Baldwin and other lawyers In the Senate
that the bill could not be recalled as was
done, and that it has become tive h,

Nanzant should have signed or vetoed it.
