a MANHATTAN TRIAL.
c. C. ParI0hurst Faces Charge of As
sauIt With Intent to Kill.

Manhattan, Kan, Jan. 5.-The Janu-
airy term Of the district court is in ses-
sion here. The case of the state of
Kansas against c. G. Parkhurst is set
for trial Parkhurst was charged with
assault with intent to kill and rob L.
J. Underwood Of this city. The fight
occurred in a gambling house early one
Sunday morning in October. 1t was al
legged that s13O changed hands in a
manner that did not conform with the
rules usually in vogue in poker house.
Underwood was terribly beaten up, but
managed to pull through in spite of the
fact that his skull was crushed in many
places. He claims that Parkhurst did
the fighting with some heavy chairs.
Thursday Parkhurst appeared in court
with his attorneys ready for trial. The
county attorney then dismissed the case
and technically Parkhurst was free. He
was held in custody, however, and in
the afternoon was arrested on a COM
plant charging robbery. A preliminary
viii be held January u on this new
charge.

Parsons, Kan. Jan. 5.-The war

the city attorney appeared to try the

that the police judge had dismissed the
case without his authority, and ordered
the liquor that had been seized turned
over to the agent of the wholesale
house which had a claim against it,
The record of the police judge said that
the case was dismissed because he did
not believe there was evidence suf-
dcient to convict" although he had not
heard the evidence, and the city at
torney appeared today with several
witnesses who would have sworn that
they bought liquor of the defendant,
and several ahidavits to that effect
were on file

law. Rex Shannon and John Reynolds.

Plans Forming to Charge a Fee
for Valuable Baggage.
Railways Want to Keep Claims
Within Reasonable Bounds.
ONE ROAD TRIES 1T.
Charges Six Per Cent of Ticket
for Each 500 Valuation.
Gossip and Matters Of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-In an endeavor to
curtail the number of rapidly increasing
claims for damages to baggage. which
are deemed to be excessive the Grand
Trunk and other railroads are trying
to induce all of the big trunk lines to
enter into an arrangement which will
compel travellers to pay extra fees for
the transportation of extra valuable
baggage.
The subject will be discussed at the
meeting here next Wednesday of the
Central Passenger association. The plan
is to limit the liability of the railroads
to 500 for the baggage checked for any
passenger unless the passenger desires
to insure himself against loss in case
of damage to baggage worth more than
that sum, by paying a certain fee for
each 800 in valuation In other words
the passenger may insure his baggage
of extra value
The scale for insurance which the
| Grand Trunk has introduced expert
mentally on part of its system provides
for an insurance fee of per cent of
the price paid for the ticket of the pas
! senger, for each 800 of insurance the
passenger desires on his baggage For
example, if a person pays $40 for his
ticket and wants to insure his baggage
| for $500, he will have to pay $1.20, the
company assuming risk of 800 but
charging per cent of the price of the
ticket for each additional 500 of valua-
ton.
1T is amazing what valuable clothes
are carried in trunks and valises by peo-
pie who sit up all night in day coaches
rather than ride in sleepers, laughingly
said Western passenger official. 1--WE
never find out how valuab is the wear
| ing apparel of such people until we lose
or damage their baggage. Then we find
that they never paid less than SIS for
a pair of trousers or $50 for a dress. The
man who makes the claim generally
| comes in to our office wearing a ready
made suit that cost about $40. and his
i hat is several seasons behind the styles,
while woman who modestly presents a
claim for $500 for three dresses and ac-
cessories which were in her trunk comes
in clad in garments that could not have
cost over $25 for the outfit.
of course, this rule has exceptions (;
but it is strange how many people wear
/ cheap clothes and carry very valuable
| garments in their trunks. Sometimes,
after paying a claim, a trunk turns up,
| and instead of the silks and laces for
which we paid we find only calico and
/ muslin The person to whom we paid
the claim, when asked for an explana-
/ ton, usually tells us that we took out
her fine clothes and put those cheap
ones in her trunk, so she keeps the
money we paid and we are thankful to
! escape from arrest for fraud. But if
/ the railroads fixed their maximum LA
bility for damage to baggage to 500,
1 unless insurance were paid for baggage
worth more than that, [ believe people
! wouldn't pack their trunks so full of
expensive wearing apparel and the rail-
roads would pay much less in loss and
damage claims.

the Roosevelt administration. The ar
rival of the stork had been expected at
the Amick home. and it was with
natural feeling of exultatiOn that after
the long billed bird delivered the first
package, the editor started for the drug
store in the immemOrial way of those
similarly afflicted to wet the news with
the boys. Amick had hardly gone
block when a messenger hurried after
him.
Whats that?" he said. turning back
Another Boy, too eh2 That's good. -
After another brief season he again
headed for town, fer twins made news,

about ready for the press. Again the
messenger took him back for further
congratulations.

editor I'D like to know who ordered

Amick had intended naming the baby

TRAIN HAD TWO CONDUCTORS.
Right of Succession Causes Dispute on
Missouri Pacific.

Salina, Kas, Jan. 5.-The Wichita
plug on the Missouri Pacific had two
conductors out of here yesterday
Both claimed the right to take charge
Of the train The matter came up be-
cause of the death OF Steve Hayden,
who had been the conductor on the
train for ten years. The division from
Osawatomie to Pueblo has control of
the road running through Salina, but
the Wichita division has charge of the
road running from Geneseo south. The
former division claims to have the
right to fill all natural vacancies on
the run. A conductor representing
that division was here yesterday and
boarded the train, intending to take
charge, but left the train at Mar
auette. The matter will be carried up
as grievance. which may cause
trouble unless the road recedes from
its position.

MOTOR CAR NOT A SUCCESS.
One Tried by Z. P. on Leavenworth
Branch Inadequate.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 5-If the
Union Pacific railway designed the lit
tie motor car which made its first round
trip between this city and Lawrence
Wednesday as an experimental toy to
demonstrate the feasibility of a well laid
prOvements on branch lines in the pas
senger service, the run may be looked
upon as a decided success, says the
LeavenWOrth Times It showed the
Newspaper men who were invited to make
the trip, that with a number of consid-
cradle improvements motor cars could
be brought into favor and practical ser
vice. But on the other hand if the Off
Gals of the Union Pacific designed the
little car as a permanent fixture for the
old passenger train without further al
teration, there has been a gigantic mis-
take.
This is not alone the opinion of the
newspaper contingent that took the trip,
but the judgment Of railroad men who
were on the car for the very purpose of
making repairs.
The car went out Wednesday morning
at 9:20 o'clock in place of the regular
passenger train, dragging its postoffice
and express trailer A crowd gathered
at the depot to inspect the quaint We
hicle and with the little bevy of men in
vited to make the trip the passenger
compartment was comfortably filed.

car can be best explained by narration
of the trip
When the s'al aboard sounded there
was a terrifying chug, whirr, thump
and din of machinery in the motor sec
ton that ratified the windows and made
tinorous passengers cling to the seats.
tt moved out slowly at first, gathering
speed as it went and soon skipping
along at a rate of about twenty miles
an hour. The thrObbing and Whirring
car was at its best speed and the pas
senger compartment shook badly
throughout the trip. 1t was immediate
1y deduced that one of the necessary re-
forms would have to be the removing
of the passenger compartment from the
motor, placing it in the trailer if posi-
Bile
The car ran very nicely until the long
hills near Paramount were reached and
then there was plenty of trouble. The
cars got nearly to the top and had to
back up to get running start The
second attempt brought them over. Then
came the still longer hill. With good
start the car got nearly to the top. but
sfopped dead The engineers had to
dip water from a nearby pond to cool
the engines and cylinders. After this
difficulty had been surmounted the cars
managed to get into TonganOxie with
but one more short halt.
Another unpleasant feature of the car
was the stencil of gasoline and burning
I Iubricating oil which sifted into the
passenger compartment every Time the
engines had to pull hard on hill.
OF course it must be taken into con-
sideration that the morning was an ex-
1 ceptionalIy trying one in more than one
respect The tracks were covered with
snow ard the motormen were unused to
the track to a great extent a part of
this trouble will be obviated in the

EACH SEEKS A FAST RUN.
Lake Shore Engineers After Places on
Igighteen-Hour Trains.

LLl@nLcCA-E1OtAE
Chicago. Jan. SIN a pigeOnhole in
the desk of Travelling Engineer A M
Bickel of the Lake Shore road there
is a steel clip holding fifty or more
sheets of paper. Each sheet is hlled
up with an application of an engineer
for a fast run between Elkhart, IND,
and Toledo Mr.. Bickel says that this
statement that has been floating
around the country that since the in
aEguration of eight-hour and other
fast runs there has been great de-
crease in applications for such runs
Mr.. Bickel says that the company
is receiving more calls for the fast
runs than ever in the history Of rail-
reading. The calls all come from the
men who have been in the service
for long years. Some of them are
now past middle age. 1t is the old
men. of course. who are favored in
the matter Cor only an engineer who
has had long experience and has
withstood severe trials is given such
a charge.
There is scarcely one man in one
thousand who today understands the
requirements of the railway people in
allOtting fast runs to engineers. The
bunch Of papers in Mr.. Bickels desk
constituted so many examinations.
Each sheet in the collection repre-
sented an applicant who had been
given 700 per cent. in reading, writing
and composition. Unless he makes
such q showing he is not permitted to
sit at the valve of modern locomo-
tive.
These requirements are only Incl
| dental, however. In regard to his
ability to handle a locomotive the
periods all the way from ten to forty
years In all of that time they have
had examinations innumerable. The
company does not hire engineers, they
make them, from the time. as firemen,
they cast the first shOVelful of coal
into a furnace. Time and again they
/ have been examined as to their eye
sight and physical condition. No man
who weighs less than $50 pounds is
| eligible. A fireman is not taken on
younger Than p or older than %.
The firemen are making as many ap-
plications fer fast runs as the old en-
/ glneers.
The physician who makes an ex-
aminatlon of a candidate for the po-
sition Ct engineer or fireman must go
/ before notary and make oath that
his examination is true. It would go
hard with a man who makes a false
one.
There are absolutely no terrors OF
1 the rail that deter enginemen from
standing in line for the runs that in
crease the risk of human life When
there are hOrrifying accounts of acct
| dents, the applications stick and more
are added just as if there had been nc

CUNNINGHANT ACQUITTED.
Topeka Man Who Stole an Auto Not
Guilty Of Murder.

Leavenworth, Kan, Jan. 5-W. B.
Cunningham, convict in the Kansas
penitentiary, was tried and acquitted
here of the charge of killing William H.
Owens, a guard. Cunningham was out
side the walls of the prison doing sur
veying with Guard Owens October 2,
when it was charged that he struck
Owens in the stomach, inhicting an in
jury causing death. Owens died Octo-
Der 3. Cunningham ran away at the
time of the alleged assault of Owens
and was recaptured the same night. In
the trial two physicians testified that
Owens died as a result of a blow in the
stomach.
Cunningham was the principal wit
ness for himself and he testified that
he did not strike Owens at all and that
Owens injured himself by falling on a
stake.
Cunningham is the convict who stole
an automobile in Topeka and took it
to st. Louis. He was arrested in Ohio
and brought back to Kansas. He re-
ceived an indeterminate sentence rang
ing from five to ten years. He has nine
years more of the sentence to serve.
