formidable organization in order that
they may more effectively act together
in common defense against the de-

birth at the convention of the associa-

since that time the chief promoters
have been actively engaged in propa-
eating the idea among the manufact-
urers and business men of the country
until now 1t is believed that the scheme
has made sufficient progress to be

TO SHUT OFF PASSES.
Officers of Big Systems Make Rules for
Shippers

Chicago, March 26.-I1xecutlve off.
GERS of some of the biggest western
railroads had another quiet conference
yesterday regarding the new Elkins
law. The principal discussion was re-
garding the issuance vi transportation
tc shippers.
Notwithstanding the fact that the In
terstate commerce. Law. as originally
passed, prohibited railways from issu-
ing transportation to influence traffic
for years the railroads have issued an
Eual passes to hundreds of persons con-
trolling heavy freight shipments. such
as nnnufac turers. merchants, grain
dealers and the meat packers. Not on :
~ were ANIMAL passes given to heads OF
firms or corporations, but to various
employees, particularly those in charge
Of the routing of freight.
1t was the opinion Of all the execu-
tive officials at the meeting that all
annual passes given to influence traffic
should be recalled and cancelled, II
remains to be seen whsther the presi-
dents win abide by the decision of their
vice presidents and traffic officers.
With one voice the executive officers
voted to cut off all trip passes and re-
iGuced rate tickets for small shippers
and friends orsrelatives Of big shippers.
Not even passes will he given for trips
wholly within one state, as the shipper
who receives the pass might send inter-
state freight.
1t is noteworthy that the smaller
railroads were not even notified of the
meeting of the executive officers of the
big systems, much less invited to at
tend the meeting. One or two of the
big roads have frightened the small
lines and shippers. big and little, by
declaring openly that they were dis
posed to spend large sums to secure
positive proof of the violation OF the
Elkins law by either carriers or Ship
pers.

BOSTON BOND BROKER ACCUSED.
M. f. Skinner Said to Have Forged
SIGNATURES to BOGUS Paper

Boston, March 26.-M. F. Skinner. Il
bond broker, doing business under the
name of NJ. F. Skinner & Co, "a Con-
gress street, has been absent from the
city since March II. Yesterday 1t was
charged that he had forged signatures
to bogus bonds of the towns of Greeu-
field and East Hampton and the city
of Northampton, and sold these to
Boston banks The face value of the
bonds so far found is $4,000. 1t is be-
lieved. that Skinner and the proceeds
of the bond sales are somewhere In
Europe. His mother has been in Eu-
rope some time. Skinner is 81 years
old. His father left him a considerable
fortune. but the young man soon lost
this in business ventures.

Movement Started Among Rail
way Managers to Decrease
Speed of Trains
SCHEDULE TIME IMPOSSIBLE
Trains Unable to Make Their Schedules
on Account of Climatic Conditions
and Extremely Heavy Tratic-ship.
pers' Passes to be Abolished in Near
Future.

| Chicago. March ga movement has
been started among the western rail-
way managers to secure general de-
crease in the speed of the most impor-
tant passenger trains. Extremely heavy
traffic, both freight and passenger, with
very unfavorable clirnatic conditions,
made it practically impossible for most
of the western lines to run their trains
on schedule time during the past fall
and winter.
The detention of freight trains caused
the greatest loss to the railroads. but
the fines imposed by the postof1ice de-
partment because of the failure OF mail
trains to make their schedules during
the past six months amount to an enor-
nous sum.
AS practically all the lines were in
the some condition, none suffered spe-
cially because of the detention of pas
senger trains. Shippers sue when
freight is delayed or damaged in tran
sit, but passengers can net collect dam
ages from a railroad because It's train
laHs 10 arrive at us destination on
schedule time.
II the wishes of the managers of some
roads can be carried out. there will be Il
marked lengthening of the running time
of passenger trains in the schedules
which will be made for the spring and
summer months. No road can afford to
run its trains slower between impor-
tant points than its competitors do. 1t
is quite likely, in view CT the records
of the past six months. that all lines
will agree to run their thru passenger
trains on slower schedules, somewhat
approaching the time that can be made

KING EDWARD VISITS CORK

Cork, Aug. 3.-The firing Of royal
salutes and enthusiastic cheering well
coined King Edward, Queen Alexandra
and the royal party on their arrival at
Cork Saturday morning on board the
royal yacht Victoria and Albert from
Berehaven. The port was bright with
bunting, the whole town was well
decorated, and the streets were filled
with jubilant sightseers. The lord
mayor and corporation of Cork well
coined the visitors when they landed.
Their majesties drove through the
decorated streets, which were lined with
troops and bluejackets, to the race
course, where the king presented colors
to two Irish regiments.
The Catholic bishop of Cork was in
vited to assist at the ceremony of bless
ing the colors, most of the men being
Catholics, but he refused to be asso:
ciated with the Protestant chaplain.
During the afternoon their majesties
visited the exhibition. The royal pro.
cession to the grounds was greeted
everywhere with the same warmth
which marked the previous functions
during the kings tour. Addresses were
presented by several local bodies, tt
which the king replied, saying that hi!
