to state Lee gisIHtures.
Local railroad men are interested in
any action the legislative board of the
locomotive engineers and firemen may
take. Among measures to be brought
before the legislatures Of western
states by this board are, it is said. the
following:
IN act to define and fin the number
Of employees Of passenger train Of
more than five cars.
An act to require railroad cCm-
panies in case Of accidents to report
the same to the state railroad com
mission and giving the commission
the power to investigate wrecks and
report to the legislature with respect
to them.
The first law is something new.
Members of the legislature from rail
road centers have received letters
from the railroad organizations in
their towns asking them to give sup
port TO the measure. Tie plan is to
require an extra Eagga9 eman. fla y
man and brakeman on every passen-
ger train in excess of five coaches. At
present it is claimed that trainmen
are worked too hard and that they
have not the chance to protect PAS
sengers from peril that they would
have were they not 50 completely oc-
cupied in doing more than mans
work.

SOx CITY KICKING
Frank Lander, Entrusted With
Preparation of New Schedule,
Writes to Mr.. Holland.
HE HAS SEVERAL CRITICISMS
Thinks There is an Effort to Hand
Rockford the Worst
of il.

President Holland of the Three-Eye
league has received a letter from
Frank Lander Of Rockford. who was
delegated by the directors at their
Chicago meeting To prepare substi-
tute schedule in the hope that an i'm
prOvement might be secured over the
one submitted by Mr.. Holland. Mr..
Lander has not commenced the work,
and it may bc necessary to- postpone
the spring meeting set for Feb. Q in
Chicago to settle the schedule ques-
ton.
Mr.. Lanler writes that four things
are to be considered in making up
schedule. The first applies To equal
mileage and equal division of Sunday
games. The second concerns the
holiday games. the receipts being
pooled. and it being necessary to ar
range such games 50 that the largest
volume Of receipts he secured. The
third applies to the equal distribution
Of Sunday contests in the interests of
the laboring classes. by placing each
club in every other city ON at least
one Sunday. The fourth takes in vari-
Gus attractions at which time it max
be desirable to have the clubs at home
without disarranging other features
Of the schedule.

American Motor League Convention
"A Motel Lao Point.

The American Motor League has extended an In
yitaton 10 all automobilists attend its convention
at Madison Square Garden the week OF the coming
automobile show. beginning January 16 and has ar
ranged with the railway passenger assodat1rs so
that league members attending may mako the round
trip at reduced railway fare. The first day OF the
convention. on January 49, will be given to the dis
cussion OF the good roads subject. The subsequent
work OF the convention will be largely directed to
the forming OF State divisions and local boards OF
consuls TO direct the affairs Of the league IN the
Eastern and Southern States though the subjects
OF touring route books. legislation and technical
features OF the automobile will have substantial at
tention.
The league has taken UP the defence of a lawsuit
in behalf OF Of its members. Hugh Miller. OF
Attica, N Y. on facts which seem to show abuse OF
the law requiring the carrying OF license numbers by
registered automobsts. The suit is brought by a
Mrs. Holmes, OF Queens County. who alleges that
while crossing OF the in this city in Au-
gust last she was run down and injured by Mr..
Miller. whom she charges with the reckless and
negligent management Of his automobile. 1t seems
that at the time OF the occurrence Mrs. Holmes and
certain other witnesses took note Of the number on
the offending vehicle and afterward verified It by
following the offender TO a nearby garage. where a
closer inspection Of the number lef- room for
error The records the State Capitol had set this
number against the name OF Mr.. Miller. and hence
came q suit against him for 5000. To offset thesA
facts II happens that both Mr. Miller and his auto
