Railroad News


Additional train service to St. Louis
on account of the worlds fair will not
De maugurated until after June l. nor
VIII the fast passenger trains be placed
IN commission until after that date
1t was the intention of the railroads en-
tering st. Louis to improve their service
to that city with the opening of the fair
in order that the lines would be in DO
Sltion to care for the heavy traffic. 1t
was expected that the passenger traffic
would increase greatly as soon as the
fair opened, but later reports show that
the heavy travel to st. Louis will not be-
gin until about June l.
Railroad officials have come to the con-
clusion that the present facilities to st.
Louis Will be adequate until the big rush
begins, and for this reason no extra
equipment or fast trains will be pressed
into service until their is a call for addi-
lions.
Among the ST. Paul-St. Louis lines that
will defer the Improvement in their serv-
ice are the Minneapolis & st. Louis, Bur
lingtOn and the Rock Island. The Mime
apOlis & ST. Louis intends to cut off at
least an hour from its present running
time. while the Burlington has made
great improvements in its roadbed south
of Savannah in order to be in a position
to make fast time. The Rock Island, too,
has planned to improve its service.
All Roads Wait.
An Official OF the minneapolis d St.
Louis yesterday said that their fast train
will not be placed in operation until after
June 1. There will be no call for extra
service until after that date" said he.
81 understand that the other lines will do
nothing until there is a demand for addi
tional equipment and better service.
1T will take the fair managers at least
two weeks after the opening to get the
exhibits placed properly and to arrange
the details. About June / the big rush
will begin and then the railroads will
start their new service"
Not only Northwestern lines but an the
roads entering ST. Louis are deferring the
establishment of their worlds fair Serv-
ice. The Atoms fast train will not go
into commission for a month, and the
Wabash, too, has served notice that it
will not commence its regular fast serv-
ice until June /.
The Milwaukee road which may run
trains from Chicago to st. Louis via the
Alton, has decided not to begin the serv-
ice until the fair is in full swing. 1t is
probable that the Milwaukee will entirely
abandon the project of running its own
trains to the Fair City.

All indications point to a determined
attack on the character of Brown. His

Subpoenaed, and he has been ordered to
produce all correspondence in his pos

defense to show that the elder Brown
has been promised immunity if he would
