CORN AND COAL BLOCK FREIGHT
Traffic Men Do Not Know Where to
Get Cars
Bv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Oct. Congestion in the
freight traffic has Increased so fast
during the last few days that the rail-
way officers fear they are soon to be
face to face with a blockade.
Conditions on the eastern roads which
have not only to handle the business
which they originate but have the crops
OF the west pouring in upon them for
export are rapidly becoming extremely
serious.
With the approach Of winter the
movement of coal has swiftly grown
heavier, aggravating the congested con-
ditions which already exist, and traffic
men say that they do not know what
they will do for cars when the year S
enormous crop of corn is ready for
market as it will be now in a short
time.
A line belonging to one of the big
eastern railway systems had orders for
1925 cars which it could not fill.
The Pennsylvania proposes to give
notice that for thirty-six hours 1t will
receive no consignments from the Pitts
burg district, the object being to get
time partly to clear the tracks of the
cars which have accumulated on its
lines west
The Hill lines have given notice that
for the present they will be unable to
receive further consignments of lum-
Der from Washington east.

PATR0LMAN IS
A REAL HERO
STOPS RUNAWAY AT PERIL OF
HIS LIFE
Frightened Horses Dash Through the
Streets Until Officer Effects a
Most Thrilling Capture, While
Bystanders Cheer

Central avenue was the scene of sew
eral runaways and street car accidents
yesterday. The most sensational run
away was that of a team belonging to
H. Abe, Japanese. Abe left his team
in front Of Japanese lodging house
on Alameda and First streets and as
soon as he entered the house the horses
ran west on First to Central avenue,
where they turned south. At Second
and Central the wagon collided with a
light buggy belonging to r. Knapp
man and in the smash the carriage was
stripped Of two wheels.
The runaways continued on Central
avenue to Third street, where Officer
Humphrey saw them and after chas-
ing the team for fifty yards he jumped
into the wagon. He then climbed over
the seat and attempted to walk out on
the tongue and seize the lines, which
were dragging upon the ground. He
stepped on the tongue and one of the
horses kicked at him, knocking the
"jockey box from the front of the
wagon. Putting his hands on the
backs of the two horses Humphrey
Jumped between them to the tongue
of the wagon and then taking the lines
he drew the team to walk.
Along the street over which the run
aways had come was a line of on
lockers and in a few moments the
brave officer was being cheered for his
daring capture.

HOW WILL HE EXPLAIN THIS TO
HIS GENTLE AND TRUSTING WIFE?

was attired for social function, and
was a dream in blue costume, long
light blue auto coat, white plumed hat
and radiant with beauty She expected
to stay all night, and. she brought her
well, she prepared for the stay by
filing her suit case with the necessi-
ties for a change of garb this morning.
She put the suit case on the car, near
the rear reat, when she boarded it,
and went inside.
The man also had a suit case. From
the looks of its interior furnishings,
he had been out of town for several
days, and the laundry will have job
soon. He also placed his suit case
near the rear Of the car, alongside that
of the young woman. He alighted
first. That's the point He took the
suit case with him.
When the young woman reached the
Hollywood hotel, she also alighted and
took a suit case. Her great horror
may be imagined when she inspected
its contents. So may his; also his em-
barrassment, and that of his wife, If he
be married.
But it will all come out right if the
young man will take the young wo-
mans suit case to the proper place and
get his own.

FAITHFUL OLD HORSE
WILL BE PENSI0NED
"OLD DICK" TO PASTURE FOR
REST OF LIFE
Has Served the City In Fire Depart
ment and Sewer Work for Fifteen
Years, and Now Will End Peaceful
Old Age in Griffith Park

"OId Dick" most faithful of the
faithful, and one Of the best servants
that a municipality ever had, is now a
pensioner of Los Angeles and will spend
the remainder of his days in peace and
plenty. That is, If the board of public
works has anything to say on the
question.
For fifteen years Dick has been one
of the familiar figures of the street
department. Always ready, always
willing, Dick has won the love of every
man in that part of the city'S SER
vice. Men of the department have come
and gone but Dick has remained. He
is twenty-nine years old now, but with
the same spirit with which he pulled
and tugged at his load fifteen years
ago, he has still been trying to serve
the city. But while the spirit is strong
the body is weak and Dick often stum-
bles and halts from sheer decrepitude.
Today Dick will remain in his stall
and another horse, younger and
stronger and more capable will take
his place on one of the sewer wagons.
This horse has been purchased at a
cost Of $3.50. If we get one-tenth the
work out Of that new nag that we have
out of Old Dick" said James Hanley,
inspector of public works yesterday,
1.-The city will have made a mighty
good bargain. To my mind there's no
horse just like "Old~ Dick"
If the permission of the park board
is given, Dick will be placed in pas
ture at Griffith park He began his
service for the city as fire horse and
after several years was sent to the
street department where he has worked
almost uninterruptedly day in and day
out until the present.

EAsTsoUNo FREIGHT INCREASES
October Records the Heaviest Move-
ment East In Years
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1O.-The
officials of the Southern Pacific report
that the eastbound freight is now
breaking all records.
Immediately after the fire the figures
on freight bound to the east fell
alarmingly low and some of the pessi-
mistic turn of mind prophesied that
California would lose much of it's
trade. The figures for September
which have come in show that the
state is bounding ahead and that as
much freight moved east last month
as did in September of the previous
year. The figures have been steadily
increasing since May when they were
at their lowest. August showed a good
increase and September put the column
in normal condition.
The prospect for October is that
California will have the heaviest move
ment of freight east on record.
