H1cLE ENCAMPMENT WEEK
WILL GET THE DRIVER INTO
TROUBLE.

Superintendent James G.. Doyle of
the police department, is preparing
special order to. the, police force for it's
campnlent. While addressed particu.
larly to the police it will be published
in the daily papers for the benefit Of
citizens. One subject Of particular in
terest will be the precautions for safety
on the streets,
watched and all violations of the speed
limit will result in prompt arrest.
Street traffic is likely to be congested
in the down town districts and it is de-
sired that all drivers of automobiles
bear this in mind and drive with more
than ordinary caution. It is not Mr.
DoYle's intention to make crusade
against automobiles and his orders will
apply to all manner Of vehicles. Fast
atsd and the officers will be expressly
instructed to suppress every thing Of
Shat character. a Motor cycles and BIZ
cycles will also be Included in the
order.
On the day Of the parade the great.
est vigilance and activity will be en-
joyed. Baby carriages will be in great
sdisfavor and it is understood that the
Epolice will be instrueted&to keep them

AS almost the entire police force will
be needed downtown during encamp
'ment week, it has occurred to resident,
in various parts of the city that il
might be a good plan to. engage. pri
waite watchmen to guard their premises
This plan is commended by Superin
tendent Doyle, who says that he viii
be only too glad to have the regula
and special. police force, supplemented
By, this service, There will be no diff
fculty in having these watchmen vestet
with special police powers upon the pc
tition Of respectable citizens.
Mr.. Doyle has been informed tina
several neighborhoods have banded to
gether to secure such special service
It is more than likely that some of thu
principal events Of the week will at
tract large part of the people from
home, and it is on such occasions thai
thieves work. The. expense of spe
cial watchman will be comparatively
small to each household, and may pre-
vent the loss Of valuable property.

Journal Special Service.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-Executive traffic
officials Of western roads will hold q
joint meeting within few DAYS to
determine what must be done with their
traffic to cover switching and terminal
charges. Changes in the interstate
commerce law and the recent decision
Of the United States court in the AL
ton cases makes this action imperative.
Ever since Judge x. M. Lands held
tains an Industrial railroad is n nothing
Jess than rebate, the railroads have
to deal with such cases.
Vast interests are affected by the
court holding, and shippers have mani
tested considerable uneasiness over the
matter. Ii the railroads choose to so
interpret the law that they will not
be allowed to ma Ike any allowance or
payment for services to the industrial
roads, it will mean that the great in
vestment of money in these roads will
be only for convenience, and few of
the large industries will consider the
convenience worth the cost. 20
The Wisconsin Central today took the
matter Of adjusting these fixed charges
in it's own hands so far as the Union
stockyards are concerned, and gave
notice that it would absorb the termi-
nal charge Of So now being paid to the
Chicago Junction railway, the switch.

conference of traffic officials was held
and the Wisconsin Central withdrew Its
notice, deciding to wait until the gen.
eral adjustment was made.
