vii, Start Stock Trains Earlier.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. 9.-A prominent
railway man here yesterday said that
the big railways in Iowa and South
Dakota had decided to start their stock
trains for Chicago several hours earlier
than heretofore. and run on slower
schedule. The aim has been to make
fast time, and delays have caused con-
signments to arrive on the market half
an hour to an hour late, at times re-
sulting in damage suits against the
railways. The managers have decided
to take time enough to insure getting
the stock in on time and thus avoid
damage suits. The official said the
change would be made very soon.
