Although the table applies to the whole

The changes in the time of trains on
that division is necessary on account
of the recent installation of a new track

the Missouri Pacific but this summer
the road built its own track.

Hurricane in Bermuda Reached 100
Mile Velocity.

New York. Sept 30-The hurricane
which swept the island Monday last
reached a velocity of 100 miles an hour,
says a Herald dispatch from Hamilton,
Bermuda. Great rollers from the south
east to the east showed the disturbance
on the ocean and the inhabitants
rushed in terror from the streets.
The full force of the hurricane was
not realized until reports began to
come from the partly isolated districts.
ONLY one person is known to have
been killed. Ne is George Harris, who
met death underneath falling wall at
st. Georges. Hundreds of houses were
damaged many losing their roofs.
The banana industry was largely in
jured. The streets are filled with de-

STORY IS AT WORK.
Making Two Surveys for the North
ern California Line.

San Francisco. Sept. sO.-Chief Engi-
neer w. Z. Story of the Santa Fe has
returned from a trip to Humboldt
county. He says a survey has been
completed on the east side of the Eel
river, and with the idea of determining
the comparative advantages of the two
sides OF the river in the location of a
route for the new road he is now haV-
ing survey made on the west side.
While the work is progressing rap
idly and satisfa ctorily. the rough char
acter of the country is such that he
does not expect to have the surveys in
shape to warrant the placing of any
contracts for construction work this
Wi=ter.
While the Santa Fe is busy with its
surveys. the California Northwestern
is losing no time in the work of ex-
tending its line northward to Eureka.
President Foster says the construction
of ten miles of road from Willis north
ward. which has been under contract
for several months past, was to have
been completed by September Is. but
on account of little delays it will not
be finished and ready for operation be-
fore the middle of next month. The
company has 30 or 40 surveyors at
work locating the extension to the
northwa-d.

DEAL WITH NEGROES.
Union Pacific May Locate Colony
in Wallace County.

D. S. Griffin, of Denver, land agent
of the Union Pacific road, is on a deal
with an Afro-American club at Galena,
Kas.. to locate a colony of negroes IN
Wallace county. The railroad has
agreed to sell a big tract of land there
al a low figure on easy payments, pro-
viding the negroes will settle there
start a town and work the land The
idea is to give the negroes an oppor-
tunity to show white people how wei
they can manage public affairs. No
white man will be allowed to live on
the TOWNSHIP. and all the public offices
will be in control of the negroes.
There is a big negro colony at N1co-
demus, Graham county. 1t is thriving
and its members are we'll satisfied. The
colony in Wallace county will devote
it's attention mostly to wheat raising
and cattle.

Immediate Action.
PUTS 1T IN A BOX.

Chicago. Sept. 30.-The action of the
Rock Island railroad in refusing to
make the IS rate between Chicago and
St Paul in concert with the other Chi
cago-St. Paul lines has caused the Off
cials of the Chicago Milwaukee & St
Paul road to require the Rock Island
management to take out the low rate
from Erin. Dundas. Mortified, Castle
Rock, Pennington and Rosemount,
MINI.
The Rock Island gave notice to its
agents yesterday that the normal rate
based on $3.50 from the twin cities, had
been placed in effect. All the cities
named are south of st. Paul and Min
heeapoIis and are along that portion Of
tne St. Paul's line which is used by the
Rock Island to complete the northern
end OF its Albert Lea route to the twin
cities.
When the st. Paul and other Chicago
ST. Paul lines restored the normal rate
Of 81 .5O to the twin cities and the Rock
Island declined to act in concert IL lett
two rates in effect in the Minnesota
towns named-one on a basis of $11-50
over the st. Paul road and another on
a basis of s. over the Rock Island.
The ST. Paul objected to having a
lower rate from the towns in question
and the Rock Island was obliged to take
out the low rate on this portion of its
line. but the So rate from st. Paul to
Chicago remains in force. As the mat
ter now stands the people of the towns
mentioned are being charged more for
the ride to Chicago than they would
from st. Paul which is several miles
north of RosemOunt. As this may be
construed as a violation of the long ana
short haul clause of the interstate COM
merce law. it is expected that the Rock
Island will take immediate action to
remedy the matter.

DAMAGE SUIT INDUSTRY.
Railroad Official Complains Bitterly
OF Conditions in Texas.

Damage suits against railroads In
Texas are increasing at rate alarming
10 the railroads. In the last ten years
they have multiplied tenfold, and suits
pending in that state July l last aggre-
gated $1,000 per mile of road within the
state.
should all these claims be recovered it
would simply be ruinOus to the roads.
In discussing this matter c. H. Mark
ham, vice president Of the Southern Pa
cifc. in charge of the Texas lines of the
system. said:
In 1898 the railroads of Texas paid
, out on account of personal injuries
a $4,000: in 1908. ten years later 81, 165,-
a w. IF the same ratio of increase is
n aintained by 1913 the amount paid will
nave increased to 80 $50. 900, and at the
rate suits are being instituted there Is
no reason to look for any other result.
I would also like to call the attention
of shippers to the following figures.
ION July there were pending against
the Galveston. Harrisburg & San An
tonic. Texas & New Orleans and HOus-
ton q Texas Central roads suits for per-
sonal injuries aggregating in round
figures s6O00,000, or $4,000 per mile OF

Great as has been the railroad de-
velOpment in this state within the LAST
ten years. greater far has been the pro-
portionate growth of the damage suit
industry. OF course. if you talk to a
damage lawyer he will tell you that
claims are forced into the courts be-
cause the railroads viii not voluntarily
make reasonable settlements in cases of
personal injuries. The very life or his
business depends upon his making
claimants believe this. but it would be
an easy matter to demonstrate to any
unpreiudiced mind that this is not true.
Railroad managers and their legal
advisers are we'll aware that independ

course it is good policy to promptly set

the claimant the benefit of every rea-
sonable doubt as to the facts touching
the cause of the accident, as we'll as the
extent of the injury, inasmuch as apart
from the evident disposition of the

necessarily very expensive to railroad
companies.
There is. however. a class of claims
that cannot be settled without litiga-
ton. and for the most part these are
frauds. pure and simple; cases in which
