VERDICT FOR BROWN IN SUIT
AGAINST UNION PACIFIC FOR
INJURY TO HIS ARM.
FIRST Trial Resulted in Verdict for $22,.
500, But That Was Reduced to
$4,000 by Court and Brown De.
manded Second Trial-other Mat
tiers Of Interest to Railroaders.

Charles A. Brown, a former engineer
IL the employ of the Union Pacific
Railroad company, was given a verdict
against that corporation for $4,000 for
personal injuries, by a jury in Judge
Ritchie's department of the Third dis,
trict court, yesterday, says the Salt
Lake Tribune.
Brown charged that as a result of in.
juries received in a collision at Opal,
Wyo., in March, 1904, his arm was
permanently injured, and that he sus-
tanned other injuries which disqualify
him from earning the amount of money
which he formerly earned. He charged
that the collision was due to a mistake
in orders given by the company.
A year ago, when the case was first
tried, Brown was given a verdict by
the jury for S22,5OO. The court cut
this verdict to $4,000, which the plain.
tiff refused to accept, and 1t was nee.
ossary to have another trial. The jury
was out only a short time in reaching
the verdict.

Passes Likely to Vanish,

Sentiments exproscod at tho meeting
OF the western pass committee at Chi
cage yesterday indicate that the rail
way pass will vanish entirely from the
west January l. The new rate law
prohibits it's issuance for interstate
travel after that date to anybody but
railway officials and employees of com.
mon carriers, and the western railroads
manifest a strong disposition to discon-
tinue issuing it for state business. The
committee will meet again November
%, when the question will be settled
Might Be Misused.
In the discussions at the meeting It
was made clear that the roads probably
would continue to give state passes, ex-
cept for the apprehension that the re-
cipients would use them for interstate
travel and thereby subject both the
giver and recipient to prosecution and
Imprisonment under the interstate
commerce act.

WRESTLING CHORUS
Kansas Evangelist's Method of Seeur-
 ing Cooperation in Song Service

Topeka. Kan, March S.-A great re- ligicus revival is in progress at Me Pherson. Evangelists Oliver and Al exander have been holding meetings there three weeks and hundreds of the county have attended and been converted Farmers and their faml- lies for miles around have practically abandoned farm work and are attend ing the meetings.
 The Reverend Mr. Alexander is unique as a musical director. He has observed that many of the great audi ences who have attended the meet ings can not sing.
 'sThoses who cannot sing, hold up your hands," he said.
 Scores of hands shct into the air.
 Those who cannot sing and who can whistle hold up your hands, he urged Every hand that represented the nonsinging element went into the air
 sNow, then, hereafter every one of us will help swell the melody; these who cannot sing, must whistle.
 The singing and whistling service it attracting great crowds. Several women who cannot sing have joined with the men in whistling the fami1- far hymns. At a recent service when the evangelist called for converts the cld familiar gospel hymns were start ed. While this inspiring hymn was being sung and Whistled by the great audience several brawny and bronZed men fresh from the fields, their lips puckered and whistling with all their energy and enthusiasm, marched to the front and asked the prayers of the evangelists.
 The Reverend Doctor Alexander has organized singing and whistling chorus of several hundred. and every day they meet for practice. When McPhersen shall have been thorough ly aroused in this religious awakening il is the intention of the evangelists tC go to neighboring towns with this wonderful chorns of blended voices and whistlers and conduct other re- vivals.
