ABOLITION OF PASSES.
j. T. Earahan Asks Meeting to Be
Called to Consider Subject.


Chicago, Oct. 1.-EXecutive -tfclais
of Western lines are considering the
advisability of abolishing exchange
passes in Western territory. }. l..
Halahan. chairman of the local pass
committee, has written letter TO
Chairman Mahoney of the western
Passenger Agreement asking him 10
call a meeting far the purpose OF con
sidering the pass agreement for l?o@'
In the letter Mr.. Harahan suggests
that under existing conditions it might
he hest to abolish all exchange passes
in the entire Western territory from
Chicago to the Pacific coast, and from
the Canandian bogder t. the Gulf.
Chairman liarahan does not pose as
an anti-pass champion, nor reformer
although, like all high railroad officials
he would like to see the abolition OF
all passes.
Mr.. Harahan points out, however,
that the pass agreement is likely to
be reaffirmad in trunk line territory
for the coming year, and II 50, the
Western lines will again be placed at
q disadvantage. During 1902 the
trunk lines have maintained their
travelling men at the expense OF the
Western lines. The Western lines
have at the same time been compelled
t.,pay for all transportation for travel
ing men in the trunk line territory.
This. Chairman alahan asserts, is
manifestly an injustice and one under
which the Western roads should not
rest the coming year.
The manner in which the trunk lines
secured transportation for their traV-
cling men in Western Territory is con-
sidered my many to be in the line OF
sharp practice. After the pass agree
mcnt went int. effect this year all OF
the travelling men for the trunk lines
were credited to their proprietary
lines west of Buffalo and Pittsburg, or
to the portions of their systems west
of these points. Thus, the New York
Central secured. though the Lake
Shore & Michigan Central, transpor-
tation for their travelling men, and the
PENNSYLVANIA and Baltimore & Ohio
charged their travelling agents against
these lines west of Pittsburg. Lines
in trunk line territory having no pro
prietary roads west - Pittsburg ana
Buffalo. nor any lines west OF these
cities. had to pay their travelling mems
fare in Western territory.

IN SUPREME COURT.
Case to Decide What Degree of Muir
der Indictment Shall Read.

CcE InOtCITnSnI 0ndlI Ftcdd.
That case should go to the supreme
court before it is tried in the lower
tribunal is a rare if NJ an unknown
thing in Arkansas, says the Little
Rock Gazette.
This, however, will occur next Mon
day, when the johnson murder case
from Newport, Jackson county, will
be called in the supreme ccurt. When
judgment is delivered it will practical
ly mean whether or not Johnson will
be tried for murder in the first or see
ond degree. thus, in a sense, determ-
lining an original case as to whether
or not man shall become liable to
death by law, =, shall serve term of
imprisonment.
Johnson, Who is farmer. is accused
of killing man named Thomas last
April. After the inquest over the
body of Thomas the coroner recon-,
mended that Johnson be held for mur-
der in the first degree. Habeas cor
pus proceedings were instituted, but
the circuit Judge declined to admit
Johnson to bail The grand jury met
and indicted him for murder in the
second degree. The prosecuting at
torney and the circuit Judge were not
satisfied with the indictment and the
latter referred the Indictment back to
the grand jury, with the recommends
ticn that the charge be made murder
in the first degree, and an indictment
to that effect was returned. The de
fendants attorney entered motion to
ouash the second Indictment of first
degree, which was denied by the judge.
Appeal was then taken to the SUI
preme court to settle the question as
to whether 9. not the judge had the
right to refer an indictment back to
the grand jury before trial OF the
first. and # the second Indictment
should stand. Thus the supreme court.
hv deciding one point of the contrl"
versy. will indirectly have what might
be called the right of life and death
in an original case.

the matter of the appointment OF

It's right to appoint its own clerk with
ont consulting the council, and today
It instructed Mr.. Whitaker to turn
over the keys to the Office and desk to
Mr.. Perkins, the new appointee, which
he did, Today both clerks are present
ct the Office and Mr.. Whitaker Is In
structing Mr., Perkins In the routine
work thereof
The board has received an opinion
from City Atty. Nye which holds that
the Office of clerk Of the board Is not
an appontive office, but that the clerk
Is merely an employe Of the board,
hence the appointment does not have

the board was created It was given au'
thority to employ a clerk, and, until
that authority has been revoked by the
council II will continue to exercise
that right.
The board, before making the new ap-
Lo!ntment reduced the salary OF the
c.erk SIS per month, which amount
was allowed over and above the regu-
lar salary of the office for the keeping
of horse and buggy.
