RAILROADS.
FREIGHTS FOR
FREIGHT ONLY
LINES CENTERING IN CHICAGO
80 WILL ENFORCE RULE.
Movement Is Opposed by Travelling
Men-Railroad Managers Say Use of
Freights for Passengers Has Ceased
to Be Necessary-Other Objections.

Chicago, Jan. 23.-The management
Of nearly every railroad centering In
Chicago has decided to issue an or
der disseminating carrying passengers
on freight trains. This move is be-
ing opposed by the travelling mems as
sociations and the wholesale mer-
chants. as for years travelling men
have used freight trains to a con-
siderable extent where the passenger
service is poor, and they say that
without the privilege it would be i'm
possible to work many territories. In
some sections the public also makes
use of freight trains, and 1t is a great
advantage in the transaction Of bust
ness.
The general managers of Chicago
roads, however, declare that the ne
cessity for the use of freight trains in
passenger traffic has almost entirely
disappeared, and they think the prac-
tice is a nuisance. Patrons who use
freight trains, they say. rarely fail
to complain because they have to go
to the freight yards to take the trains,
and while in the caboose are said to
interfere with the work of the crew.

WATCHING ENGINEERS
Railroads Testing Them to See II Sig
nails Are Obeyed.

Following the lead Of the North
Western line near Chicago, the Oma-
l1a has been watching three block
stations near st. Paul as test of the
watchfulness Of the men. This test
was made in both cases to guard
against any causes which might oc-
casion wrecks.
An operating official Of the road
says: "Our lines are protected with
the block signal system and we con-
slider them safe-at least, they are as
safe as money and watchfulness can
make them. We have been watching
the engineers carefully and the men
have been aware Of the fact. The OBJ
tect is to obtain the highest Individual
carefulness and alertness on the part
of the men in charge Of the engines
on the road. While the cold weather
lasts we want to be sure that they are
constantly alert to avert accidents,
and nothing makes them more SO
than to know we are looking for in
stances Of carelessness. So far we
have found very little criticism, either
Of the signal operators or with the
men,"

EASIER FOR TEACHERS
Requirements for Certificates Made
Less Rigid in Some Lines.

: State superintendent Olson has
amended the rules for granting state
teachers certificates, making the re-
quirements less rigid. He adds zool-
ogy and chemistry to the list of OPP
tional studies that may be taken In
place of plane geometry and physical
geography, asking only a high school
certificate on these studies. He also
rules that when a teacher fails to
pass, credit shall be given for the
subjects in which a passing mark is
secured, In case the rest of the sub
jects are successfully passed within
a year.
Holders of a, state first grade cer-
tfficate, who have taught twelve
months Of the time required, may
have it renewed without examination
if recommended by their superintend-
ia,,t
