Is Taken In the Hopes Of Correcting

Special to Times
Iowa Falls, May 30.-Newspaper men
in particular and the public in general
will appreciate the ruling just made BY
J. r. Harahan, of the Illinois Central
railroad, who has issued instructions
that particulars of accidents, wrecks
and other happenings along the lines OF
that road be given to the press, and
that every possible effort be made to
supply facts in relation to matters in
which the public has vital interest.
Finding that exaggerated reports are
often found in the press on account of
the inability of reporters to gain ac-
curate facts in relation to wrecks and
accidents. he feels that the press Is
naturally friendly and does not err in
these matters willingly, but rather on
account of lack of information. In
hopes of correcting erroneous reports
and establishing pleasant relations with
the press, employees of the company are
instructed to withhold nothing that
rightfully belongs to the public and the
press.

Giadbrook Transfer Will be Made More
Convenient.


Convenient.
Special to Times Republican.
Gladbrook, May 30.-The state rail-
road commission has ordered plat
form built at the junction of the Great
Western roads for the convenience of
passengers wishing to change cars DIT
this point.
The Northwestern and Great West
ern railroads cross at Gladbrook Their
depots are about half mile apart.
1t was the rule Of railroad construction
few years ago not to cross in towns
at any point convenient to the travel
ing public
Now the one or the other OF the
daily trains on these roads is some
times late. OF course, when one IS
late the other Is certain to be on time
or bit ahead Of time.
The people stood this for several
years and finally lodged complaint
with the railroad commission. If the
Great Western train were late. the
Northwestern train would be strictly
on time and wouldn't walt for pas
sengers on the late train to go across
lots to the other depot. about half q
people protested They said that there
was no excuse for train on one road
walking eff and leaving the passengers
who wanted to change cars just be-
cause it took two or three minutes 10
walk from one depot to the other.
when the people had nothing To do
with the fancy which led to the separ-
alton of the depots.
So the railroad commission took 1t
up and it has been notified that the
Northwestern could conform to the
idea of the board and would erect a
platform at the very crossing OF the
two roads, so that when passengers
wished to transfer they could be GER
tain OF catching the train on the other
road.
The precedent thus established will
mean that roads in other places will
have to establish union stations.
