PENNsY WILL MEET CUT.
Colonel Moody Awaits Announcement
of Reduction of Fares.

VI HSuuCtion OF ares.
Colonel Samuel Moody of Pittsburg.
assistant general passenger agent of
the PENNSYLVANIA lines west, Is quoted
In Cleveland rs saying:
IF there Is to be a general reduc-
ton OF passenger rates In this terri.
tory the management of the Pcnnsyl-
vania lines Is in favor of that reduc-
ton being made effective Just us soon
rs possible.
That is why Pennsylvania repre-
sentatives, at the recent Central Pas
senser Association meeting voted
against the proposition to request tho
Erie to postpone its announced inten-
ton of making q flat 2 l-2-cent rate
on its entire system. except in Ohio,
where the rate is two cents, from NO
vember to January 4. We feel that
If lower rates than those existing are
to be made they had better be made
as soon us possible and have the mat
ter settled"
Colonel Moody said that he did not
know what action the Pennsylvania
lines will take relative to the Fries
flat rate Of 1-2 cents, which be-
comes effective on November l.
That matter is in the hands of our
executive officials he said. "They
are considering the question and will
doubtless announce in lew days the
rate they decide on for the Pcnnsyl-
vania lines"
When asked if the Pennsylvania
lines were not preparing to tiinuunc:,
a flat two-cent passenger rate for
their entire system, Colonel Moody
declined to answer.-Buffalo Express

twenty.eight Chautauquans are
taking hold, of their work. The
secretary's quarterly report for
the first of the year which you
will all like to examine, shows
that the circle presented papers
on Current Topics, Biography,
Adventure, journalism, Science,
History and Education. Many of
these are published in The MIR
RoR, so these Chautauquans are
helping to mold the ideas of their
little community. The MIRROR

port of q stirring debate on Re-
solved that war has been beneficial
to civilization and that it is neces-

paper on Universal Peace An
