GUS exception has been made in their
case. While they have special bar
racks fitted up for them in Constan-
tinople, they are permitted in times Of
peace to remain in their own noun
tainS, where they are authorized to
act as police. The effect of this is to
give them absolutely unlimited OPP
portunity to plumber with the result
of bringing into bold relief the worst
elements in the Kurdish character.
While the Kurds are Moslems in re-
ligion, and largely under the influence
of dervishes, no sense of religious duty
or patriotism animates them in their
guerilla warfare
They go forth to battle simply as To-
Gusts to devour the spoil. OF this fact
the Turkish Government is thoroughly
cognizant, and when the Government,
ut its own expense, armed and trans
ported these tieuds in to Macedonia
their very presence gave the lie to the

carnival Of loot, license and bloodshed,

ton, have at last turned against the

the serfs or subject Kurds, who are
merely stolid stupid peasants, content
with tilling the soil in the most rudi-
mentary way, but displaying wonder

The nOmadic Kurds never work, but
depend upon the Armenians, as a para
site does upon a plant. When not
upon the actual warpath, and nothing
more than ordinary brigandage is
going on, the chief of each tribe comes
down from the mountains every spring
ut the head of his men to collect tribute
of the Armenian villages in sheep,
mules. rugs, stockings, or anything else
that takes his fancy All of their
wheat and grain they get from the
Armenians, who are forced to support
themselves and the Kurds, and at the
same time pay taxes to the Turkish
Government.
They are all very fond Of finery, and
never hesitate to avail themselves OF

In the Turkish war with Russia in

transported from their homes in the

Charles H. Gleed. 1t is rumored that
not more than two of them will be re-
elected, and that Rock Island inter-
ests will be given representation in
the directorate. The election of di-
rectors may demonstrate to what ex-
tent Santa Fe securities have been
purchased by the Rock Island inter-
ests.
It is generally known that there
have been several serious clashes be-
tween the Rock Island and Hartman
interests over traffic questions, and
that negotiations for traffic and track
age alliances were opened by the Rock
Island with the Santa Fe.
1t is generally accepted that inter-
ests friendly to the Rock Island hold
sufficient Santa Fe stock to give them
considerable influence over the course
of the Santa Fe's affairs. 1t is gener-
ally understood that as soon as the
connecting link between the Rock
Island and the Santa Fe now in course
of construction between Albuquerque
and Texico, has been completed the
Rock Island will run it's limited over

STOCKHOLDERS MAKE
NO SUGGESTIONS
Directors Are Left Free to Select
Howard EIIiott's Successor.

st. Paul railroad officials were some
what surprised that the Burlington
stockholders, at their annual meeting
in Chicago Wednesday, did not make
some suggestion in connection with
the filling of the vacancy in the posi-
ton of second vice president.
1t had been expected that some ac-
ton would be taken, but it was learned
after the meeting adjourned that the
matter was only talked about in an
informal manner. However, Mr.. FL
liott's successor will soon be appointed
and special meeting of the board of
directors is likely to be called before
Dec. to make the selection.
A St. Paul railroad man in discuss
ing the situation yesterday said that it
is probable that the Burlington will
draw from its own staff of officials to
fill the vacancy.
''The Burlington" said he, sis one

BURLINGTON TO ADD
A NEW COAST TRAIN
Through Service Between ST. Louis
and Seattle May Be lnaugurated.

Burlington passenger officials are
now figuring on the advisability of
placing in operation new train be-
tween Seattle and st. Louis during the
Worlds Fair. 1t is said that the plan
now under consideration provides for
through service from Seattle to st.
Louis.
The Burlington now operates in con-
junction with the Northern Pacific,
running a joint train from Seattle to
Billings and then continuing it's own
train East. If the Worlds Fair travel
comes UP to expectations, it is believed
that the Burlington people will consid-
er it necessary to run the company's
own train from Seattle to st. Louis
The fact that the Northern Pacific is
very apt to add a new transcontinental
train next year to handle local traffic
is regarded by passenger men as a
favorable indication that the Burling-
ton will also make improvements in it's
coast passenger service.
If the scalping situation at st. Louis
Is adjusted in favor of the railroads,
exceptionally low rates will be made
from the coast to the fair city. Heavy
traffic is anticipated and the passenger
men of the Burlington say that to care
for the coast patrons 1t will be neces-
sary to add extra trains.
