sTocKMEN UNDER THE BAN
Accused of Selling Passes Given
Them on Shipments.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Thousands of live
stock raisers and shippers throughout
the west are under the ban of the rail-
roads for alleged selling of passes fur
nished for the purpose of accompanying
shipments to the city, During the last
two or three months the principal reve-
nue. of South Clark street brokers has
been from the sale of stock passes,
transportation officials say.
According to an old custom of the
railway a pass is furnished for one man
to accompany every car of stock from
any point of shipment to Chicago and
return to the starting place. The ques-
ton of what is to be done will be con-
sidered by executive officials of the
western lines at meeting in Chicago
Tuesday.

SPEED OF EUROPEAN TRAINS
American People Receive More Con
sideration and Comfort.


Vice President Paul Morton, of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e, who re-
Gently returned from Europe, is quoted
in a newspaper interview as follows:
"As to speed of trains in Europe, it
is about the same as ours here, although
a friend of mine, H. H. F'reeIand, of
New York, said he had Travelled zoe
miles on the Oriental Express at the
rate of eighty miles an hour-fifty
miles straightaway. twenty miles up
and down and ten miles sideways. From
close observation of the transportation
question, l am satisfied that the Amer
lean people receive more comfort and
better facilities in every way for less
money than those in any European
country and that both passenger and
freight rates in the United States are
33 1-3 per cent cheaper than those
abroad. while the employees of American
railroads receive in wages nearly twice
as much as that paid to similar work
men in Europe

SANTA FE AND ROCK ISLAND
Discussion of Trackage Negotiations
Between Those Roads

Chicago, Aug 31.-Dispatches from
San Francisco state that Captain A. H.
Payson and w. A. Bissell two leading
officials of the Santa Fe on the coast.
admit that the Rock Island people are
negotiating with the Santa Fe for the
privilege of running its own trains over
the latter road into San Francisco from
Albuquerque.
The impression prevails that before
the end of the year the Rock Island will
else obtained a contract to run it's trains
into San Francisco.
The basis of the present negotiations
is an exchange of trackage rights. For
the privilege of running its solid trains
over the Santa Fe from Albuquerque
to San Francisco the Rock Island is said
to be willing to give the Santa F'e track
age rights over its system in Southwest
ern Kansas, New Mexico, the Texas
Panhandle and Oklahoma

Many Wrecks Have Occurred on New

1t is a fact commented on by local
railway men that more accidents hap
