Officials Point to Peril In Two
Cent Fare Bill.
Lines in West Would Be Hardest
Hit BY Proposed Law.
THE AGITATION.
No Concerted Opposition to Bill
by Railways Expected.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

The bill providing for a universal
two cent fare on all railroads doing an
interstate business and the issuance of
mileage books of from one thousand
to five thousand miles at two cents a
mile which shall be good on all roads.
introduced last week in congress by Mr..
Sherman of New York. continues to be
the chief topic for discussion whenever
two or three railroad officials get to-
gether.
1t is viewed by officials as "an indi-
cation that the wave Of reform which
is now sweeping the country knows
no depth or bounds. Many refuse to
consider it, contending that it would
be impossible to pass such measure.
officials expect more harm to result
from agitation that the measure may
arouse than from the possibility of its
adoption. 1t is contended that the
travelling public is deceived by the dis
cussion of such a bill.
While several railroads operate un-
der the regulations of a two cent fare
law in Ohio, it is pointed out that these
lines traverse a densely populated ter
ritory and that passenger rates can not
suffer such blow as would be dealt
tn e western railroads crossing sparsely
settled country and where the cost OF
operation appreciab bly, reduces the gross
receipts Many of the officials contend
that certain roads could not maintain
the excellent service demanded by the
travelling public if they were compelled
to operate under such regulations
This agitation" said one official,
will lead to a state of unrest through
out the country. In certain sections it
is not recognized that the cost of oper-
alton and the population of the terri
tory traVersed has anything to do with
the earning capacity of railroads. Such
legislation would be disastrous to the
western roads, many of which are
operating. certain of their divisions at
q loss even at the present time In
the east, even where people are COM
PEELED to travel more and where the
population is so dense, the gross re
ceipts of the trunk lines would be
dealt a serious blow.
Railroad men call attention to the
fact that passenger traffic represents
about 80 per cent of the gross receipts
of most lines and assert that not few
lines would sustain serious losses if
compelled to operate under regulations
that provide for reduction of 3 Is per
cent in their passenger receipts
No opposition to- the bill is anticl-
pated on the part of the railroads, Of
fcials contending they are content to
let well enough alone In the language
of one. IF the people wish to pillage
the railroads, thereby damaging one OF
the chief arteries of commerce and one
of the best friends of the agricultural
and manufacturing communities. 1
think it will be the policy of the trunk
lines to ge the legislators full sway.

Mrs. Sophia Caldwell, 1922 MEGA
vock street. Nashville. Tenn, writes:
After doctoring for year and find
ing no relief from leueorrhea resulting
from prolapsus uteri, and which was
sapping my life forces away. I finally
tried Peruna, and when I found that it
was helping me every day, it seemed
almost too good to be true
But. it not only helped me. it cured
me and in very short time.
I am now enjoying the best OF
health
Il am strong and free from pain and
l certainly feel that all praise and hon
or are due to Peruna.'
Thousands of women will read the
testimonial of Mrs. Caldwell as above
given.
Thousands of them will be induced
TO try the remedy that saved her.
Thousands of them will have the
same experience she had.
Peruna is the remedy such women
need. Peruna comes like boon to
suffering womankind.

FINDS NEW MAMMOTH CAVE.
One Is Discovered in Tennessee Near
Kentucky Border.

Knoxville. Tenn. June 2O.-A mann
moth cave extending some miles in
length and of irregular width has been
accidentally discovered near the town
of JeIlico, on the Kentucky border.
The Jellico Water company has a
number of men at work near the top
of Pine Mountain excavating at
spring which flows from the side of the
mountain. In following the chasm
they cut into a wide cavern and a large
stream which Is teeming with fish. The
cave extends along the center of the
mountain, south of Elk valley. for nine
miles, and in many places is very large
and beautiful. with the water IL to
IS feet deep. They have found a num-
Der of Indian relics, bones of beasts
that are now extinct and which filed
the mountains in prehistoric days
Many peculiar shaped stones, like
images of gods or idols, have also been
brought out.
The exploration is still going on and
will be pushed forward until the end
of the cave is found. Motor boats can
be operated successfully for miles up
and down the subterranean waterway.
The water company has its engineer
ing work for mains about completed
and will soon be putting down pipes.
The fall for the water which will give
a cheap supply to the city will be 800
feet. and Will come out of the cave IN
the Pine mountains.

SAVE TIME CUTTING GRADES

Faster Time Via r. I. to Coast.

El Paso. Tex. June 2O.@To reduce
the grade on the FL Paso & South
western between FL Paso and Santa
Rosa from on per cent to one-half of
one per cent is the aim of the en-
gineering department, of the South
western, which now has a corps of
men in the field locating the new line.
The new grade will mean a great
reduction in the time of trains be-
tween Santa Rosa and Ell Paso and Will
mean also that the time of the Rock
Islands fastest train, the Golden State.
can be cut between a half hour and
an hour between Chicago and Los An
geles.
Locating Engineer c. s. Henning
with a large corps of men has been To-
eating the proposed new line for some
time.
About fifteen miles of the present
line win be changed. this stretch of
track lying in the mountains between
Corona and Torrance. Many of the
curves and steep grades of the pres
ent line will be eliminated. About fif-
teen miles of track Will be relaid in
order to make the reduction in the
grade possible
Work on the construction of the
line will be begun in a short time and
the Southwestern will spend thou
sands of dollars in order to make a
saving of few minutes of time on
the eastern division.

a GREAT RAILROAD RACE.
-Four Canadian Lines Are Struggling
to Reach yellow Head Pass.


great race is reported to be in
progress among the Canadian trans
continental lines for the Rocky Noun
tains. The Yellow Head pass is the
goal for which they are headed, and
the Canadian railway commission Will
have hard time deciding to which of
them the prize should be awarded.
The four companies are the Cana
dian Pacific, which although it al
ready has one transcontinental route
IS seeking another outlet to the Pa
ciflc farther north; the Grand Trunk
Pacific, which seems to be partic-
uiar favorite with the government. the
Canadian Northern, controlled by
Mackenzie and Mann and built by the
sale of bonds guaranteed by the gov
ernment and J. J. Hits projected
Canadian line. which. according to Mr.
Hill, is to be built without government
aid or subsidy OF any kind.
The Hill lines claim to the pass will
be advanced by what is known as the
Vancouver, Westminster & Yukon,
which has charter from the prov
ince of British Columbia. and which
is destined to be the Pacific end Of the
Hill transcontinenta line
The Grand Trunk Pacific road is
making surveys in connection with the
approaches on both sides of the noun
tains. The line. it is supposed. will
emerge on the Pacific side at Prince
IAupctt, Oh hdlOA lSldQO. IL Is eX-
pected that the Canadian Northern
will come out probably a Nubi inlet
opposite the north end of Vancouver
island The Canadian Pacific's new
projected line probably will proceed
to point about Butte inlet. It is as
serted that yellow Head pass will ac-
commodate all the roads, but there
will be considerable competition for
the choice of routes through it. and
this will have to be decided by the
railway commission. under the super
vision of which all the roads must be
constructed

ECHO OF KANSAS CITY FLOOD.
Court Decides in Railroad Suit 1t Was
IAN Act of God.''

Kansas City, Mo-, June 20.-The Kan
sas City court of appeals has decided
that the food of 1903 was of such
character as to fall properly within the
legal definition of ''an act of God,'' and
that it was a sufficient excuse for one
railroad to refuse freight from another
while the flood was impending. The
decision was made in the case of F. f.
Gray, who recovered damages from the
Wabash railroad company because it
would not permit him to unload a car
of stock which was hauled to Kansas
City by the Frisco rOao and put upon
the Wabash tracks. The Frisco road
contended that when it placed the car
upon the Wabash track it was deliv-
cry to that road, and the trial court
so held. But it appeared in evidence to-
day that the Wabash refused that day
to accept the car because the flood was
rising and the appellate court reversed
the case.

Speech and Hearing Restored to
William Leslie.
Run Over by Katy Train and
His Skull Cracked.
EFFECT OF TREPANNING
Pressure on Brain Removed and
Nerves Resume Work.
Early Life of Victim One Of I'm
usual Hard Luck.
7FECT OF TREPANNING

Parsons, Kan. June 2o.-The sun
says,
Should William Leslie, who was run
over by an NJ. K & T. train at Colum-
bus. Kan. about two weeks ago, decide
to bring suit against the railroad com
pany. it would be interesting to know
whether or not the railroad could not
bring a counter suit for medical ser
vices.
Leslie's is story of unusual hard
luck Born with a cleft palate which
made articulation difficult, he was
handicapped from his infancy. When
nine years old ne was kicked by a
mule, his right eye destroyed, and ne
lost both his hearing and power or
speech. A few years after he was run
down by a Rock Island train, and was
given up for dead by the attending
physicians. He eventually recovered
from these injuries, and was again IN
juFed by Frisco train as result OF
which he lost an arm. Two weeks ago
he was run over at Columbus by an
NJ, K. & r. train and sustained a
fracture of the skull. which the doctors
said would result fatally.
Yesterday word was received here
that not only would Leslie recover but
that his speech and hearing had been
restored. BY physicians and others
this is considered one of the most re-
Inarkable cases on record. The sc1en-
tiic explanation, if it can be explain
ed by anything short of miracle, is
that the blows he received on the head
in the last accident had the same eff
feet as trepanning the skull would have,
and that the pressure of the skull on
the brain has been removed This
would cause the nerves which control
the organs of speech and hearing to
resume their functions and a complete
cure was obtained.
Had the operation been performed by
an eminent surgeon. and been success
ful he would have charged d fee that
would have run into the thousands of
dollars. But the railroad company has
so far failed to present a bill for their
services, and it is presumed that Leslie
has been repaired at no cost to himself
except the pain and discomfort occa-
stoned by the accident.

PENNsYLvANIA's BIG LOAN.
Two Paris Banks Bought the Fifty
Million Dollar Issue

New York, June 20.-Kuhn. Loeb &
Co, bankers. have announced that
they have purchased from the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company ESQ million
francs ESQ million dollars9 Pennsyl-
vania company twelve-fifteen year
80 French franc loan of 1906, guar
anteed as to principal and interest by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
The entire loan has been placed by
Kuhn. Loeb & Co. in Paris with
French group under the management
of the Banque de Paris ct des Pays
Bas and the Credit Lyonnais. The is
sue price will be about par. Payment
will be made in about equal Install
ments divided over the rest of the
present year or earlier at the option of
the French banks
A member of the firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., in speaking about the
matter. said:
I'VE consider that the closing up Of
this transaction is a most important
event financially. 1t marks the plac-
ing of the first direct American loan in
Paris. and it is further the first Of
fcially sanctioned American loan
placed there. It means that about so
million dollars in French currency will
come to this country. This French
money will arrive here at a most op-
pOrtune time"
