ERIE TO HAVE NEW SIGNALS.
Electrically Operated Semaphores fol
Coneested Part of System.

The Erie railroad has arranged for
the immediate expenditure of s225, 900
for the installation of the most modern
and efficient railway signal that has yet
been put on the market. It is known
as the Hall Electric Semaphore Normal
Clear System and is operated by sta
tionary storage batteries. The line be-
tween Bergen. N. J., and Middletown,
distance of 68 miles, is to be equipped
at once. For the first 90 miles, the Sig
nails will be put two-thirds of a mile
apart; for the rest of the distance,
about one and one-third miles apart. It
will require five power plants for charg-
ing the batteries to operate the system.
The line to be protected has two and
four tracks at different places and is
the most congested part of the Erie
system. Hitherto manual block
which is a tower with signals operated
by a towerman, has been used as
block protection but it has been deemed
best to install an automatic system for
further protection and to accelerate the
movement of trains. The new system
will be extended over the entire line in
the future.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Congress, at Presidents Urging,
May Abolish Private Car Lines.
This Is Opinion of Interstate
Commerce Commissioner.
NO MORE THAN RIGHT.
Roads Should Be Compelled to
Furnish Refrigeration.
Gossip and Matters OF Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Washington, Sept. 11.-That con-
gress will enact legislation looking to
the adjustment of private car lines
is the opinion of one of the members
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. who recently discussed this ques-
ton in an unofficial manner.
"It looks now" said this commits
sioner, "as though the president would
succeed in getting legislation which
will destroy the present system of pri-
vate car lines. and force the railroads
into the necessity of furnishing re-
frigeration and other facilities for the
do this they will be responsible for
charges in connection with such facili-
ties under the law, just as they now
are for the primary freight charges.
This means that they will have to pub
llsh regular schedules of rates, and
hence our commission will exercise its
right under the law of regulating
them.
Senator Cockrell was quite right in
the interview he gave out the other
day when he asserted that it would be
but right for the railroads to furnish
the special facilities, and that it was
entirely wrong for them to be in a
position where they can delegate any
part of their duty and responsibility
as common carriers to any one else.
Many of the railroads are already ac-
cepting this view of the situation The
Louisville stock yards case, carried to
the highest court in the land. held spe-
cifcally that such special facilities
should be furnished by the railroads.
Some of them are already won over to
this view. and have given US definite
assurance that they will furnish such
facilities.
IF the next congress will correct the
private car line abuses by either abol-
ishing them or so controlling them
that the commission can get the same
reasonable rates for the shippers they
are now assured by a stricter enforce
ment of the laws against common
carriers, it will go a great way towards
accomplishing all that has been de-
manded by suffering shipping public.
IF it will go step further and abolish
or correct the present elevator charges
at transfer points, much more will be
accomplished. In fact, 1 believe that
if the private car line evils are regu-
lated and elevation charge abuses are
brought within the law, we need but
little legislation except that of sim
plifying the processes of law by which
the commission enforces existing
statutes

THE BEDBUG SPECIAL.
Union Pacific Plans a War to Ex-
ternlin tie VCImin.

IGf1nln tie ECllli1ls
Rate wars and friendly battles for
traffic are not the only affairs OF
martial character that are attracting
the attention of the Union Pacific
railroad. They have discovered an
evil that is not conducive to the peace
of mind of their employees along the
lines of the road, particularly those
who are compelled to sleep in section
houses and construction camps So
the edict has gone forth that this evil
must be eradicated and preparations
have been made by the road to carry
on a war of determination. No quar-
ter will be given, no surrenders, UNI
conditional or otherwise, will be ac-
cepted from the belligerents. They
are to be exterminated completely
For the purpose of conducting this
war in an up to date fashion an extra
train has been made up by the rail-
road officials in the shops at Chey-
enne. Tt might be called a first class
battle train but it is more appro-
priately called 1.-The Bedbug Special"
1t consists of three cars and an en-
CINE and is equipped with steam hose,
poisons, disinfectants and disinfecting
apparatus. It is to be sent out over
the lines of the road to exterminate
bedbugs and other vermin, which
have in some instances taken posses
sion of section houses and construction
camps. Its arrival will be hailed with
Joy by the employees who have been
compelled to share their quarters with
the Vermin.

Receipts Amounted to SIS. 900.

Receipts Amounted to $4,000.
It was given out last night that the
total receipts of the glove contest were
$34, 700. There Was evidently some mis-
take about this; as it was learned from
a good source today that the amount
taken in was $4S, 300.
The referee question was also thor
Oughly thraShed last night and today.
The consensus of opinion and reports
are that Jeffries, who was selected by
the Britts when they won the toss OF
the coin to decide between the retired
champion and Siler, had been badly
buncoed: that 1t was all cut and dried
for Graney to referee and that Jeffries'
name was used to swell the box Office
receipts. There is no truth, however,
in those opinions and reports, as the
Britts held out for Jeff and until the
last minute Nolan was determined not
to accept him.
The calling off of bets when Graney
was accepted as the third man in the
ring was demanded by Willie Britt. He
claimed that all bets were made on the
supposition that Jeffries would officiete,
therefore bets should not stand. Nolan,
however, wanted the bets to stand,
field and no favor would win, but he
was OveTruled.
The action on the part of Willie Britt
should cast no reflection on Jeffrfes'
to rob Nelson he certainly was not
party to it. It's difficult to convince
men notion the ground that JEFF and
the Britts were not in cahoots, but the
big fellow assured the writer that both
fighters looked alike to him. The big
fellow was much cast down at the man
ner in which he has been treated in
the affair and blames his friends for
begging him to stand pat when he pre-
ferred to have nothing to do with the
contest. Nolan has complete confidence
in Jeff's honesty and fairness, but he
thought the Britts and their followers
would conjure scheme to win the fight
on his inexperience.
The betting really looked suspicious
as judging from the last battle it should
have been even money, take your pick
That was the price when Graney took
charge of affairs in the ring. Jeff said
he would make no claim to referee fees,
as he did not act, but the proba bilitieS
are that Manager Jim Coffroth and
pedhaps the Britts will fix up monetary
matters with him. especially when it
became known today that Coffroth
withheld 81, 900 from Nelson's share be-
cause his side of the house named the
referee.
Billy Nolan, who was roundly scored
by everybody before the fight because
of the stand he took against Jeffries on
account of his supposed obstinacy on
ali matters pertaining to the battle, was
Iauded to the skies Sunday as being a
pretty wide-awake fellow.
