FOR CONvICTS.
School TO Be Established at the
Federal Prison.
Splendid Plan Adopted to Aid
Those Uneducated.
MANY INDIANS NEED IT
None Of the Prisoners viii Be
Forced to Attend the Lessons.
Ex-Army Officers and Ex-Bank-
ers to Act as Teachers.
MANY INDIANS NEED IT

LeavenwOrth, Kan, March 30
Warden r. W. 8IcClaughry of the fed
eral prison, is making preliminary
preparations for the establishment of q
school within the walls of the prison
with a view to educating the convicts
in the English language. 1t is his de-
sire to teach the ignorant convicts to
speak. read and write. There are a
number of such who come from the
Indian Territory who can speak none
but their Indian tongue and therefore
the prison officials have much difficulty
in learning their wants and usually
have to find some Interpreter.
The cOnvicts win not be forced to at
tend the school. but the warden hopes
that when they see the advantages
those who do attend are deriving others
viii attend and take up a course OF
study.
A competent instructor who will act
as superintendent is TO be detailed to
have full charge of the school The
warden wishes some one detailed not
connected with the institution. He
viii if possible have the state superin-
tendent Of public instruction name
some person who will be competent TO
take up the work. The assistant in
struCtors will be chosen from among
the convicts. There are many men
who are highly educated within the
prison walls, such as ex-army officers
and ex-bankers who will be COM
petent.
The warden has set aside a room in
the prison and students viii assemble
there for instruction. During the re-
cent visit of Colonel Clay of the de-
partment of justice the warden spoke
to him of his plan to educate cOnvtcts
and he was highly in favor of it.
The scholars will not attend during
the day but Will work around the pris-
on. The evenings are exceedingly long
to some of them when they have to sit
in their cells from supper till lights are
extinguished and it is thought the at
tendance viii be large because of this.
Those who are well behaved and show
a desire to obtain an education will be
first chosen for Instruction.

RAILROAD NEWS.
Shut Down in Erie Shops Shows
Seriousness of Coal Crisis.
One-sixth of All Freight Re-
eeipts From This Trade.
MEANS MUCH TO ROADS.
Strike Would Tie Up Traffic in
Vital Fashion.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

The action of the Erie railroad COM
pany in suspending operations in its
car shops, in view of the anticipated
coal strike, serves to direct attention
to the Importance of coal traffic to the
railroads. Some idea of the dimen-
sions of this traffic may be obtained
when it is stated that there are 700 600
coal cars in constant use by the roads
of the country. Many of these cars
have a carrying capacity of so tons;
but if 80 tons be taken as the average.
then there are over $4,000 tons Of
coal continually in process of trans
portatfon It has been estimated that
one-sixth of all freight receipts of the
railroads is derived from coal traffic
and that the receipts from this source
last year were S250,0OO,0O0. This esti-
mate is considered a low one. The
actual figures are above rather than
below the estimate.
The greatest coal-carrying road in
the country is the Pennsylvania. Last
year its coal and coke tonnage
amounted to 64.774,777 tons. In the
same year the Baltimore & Ohio car
ried 100000 tons; the Norfolk &
Western carried 100000 tons, and
the Chesapeake & Ohio 5000, 600. The
total Of what is regarded as the Penn
sylvania group of roads was not far
from 104, 900. 600 tons. In the middle
west the Illinois Central. the Chicago
& Eastern illinois, the Alton. the Rock
Island, the Hooking Valley, the Bur-
lington, the Santa Fe, the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas. the Missouri Pa
cific and other leading southwestern
roads are all heavy coal carriers.
ANY prolonged cutting off of the traf-
f1c will affect all the roads seriously,
and, temporarily at least, might bring
to a sudden end the period of phenom-
email increase in earnings which most
of them have enjoyed throughout the
winter months.
Not only in the matter of earnings
will the roads be injuriously affected
bv a prolonged strike. Their surplus
supplies of coal may become exhausted
and they may be seriously embarrassed
for fuel with which to run their trains
It is estimated that the railroads them
selves consume about 100000 tons OF
coal annually for locomotive fuel, the
cost of which to them is estimated at
s12O. OO0. COO Most Of them have sufl-
cient supplies on hand to keep them
running for from four to six months,
but after that they would be very seri-
rslv embarrassed should they be un-
able to obtain frdsh supplies. The
strike question is oAne of vital import
ance to them in more ways than one.

ONLY CENTS DIFFERENCE.
Miners and Operators Are Pretty
Close Together.

Pittsburg. Kan, March 3O.-The
coal situation in this district shows
that there IS just 8 cents per ton diff
ference between the miners and the
operators. The operators are willing
to restore the 1903 scale, made in
Pittsburg- This is an advance Of 5.55
per cent over the present wage scale
and dead work scale but it makes no
advance in the tonnage or pick scale,
of - cents per ton. The miners are
willing to settle in the southwest, re-
gardless of what the east does. on the
basis of restoring the 1903 scale, but
demand an advance of 3 cents on the
tonnage scale.
These are the two propositions
pending before the southwester joint
scale committee. Before any action
can be taken. however the national
convention must determine whether a
settlement will be permitted in the
southwest independent of the central
district. 1t is the general opinion that
no strike viii take place in this dis

SALT LAKE LINE TIED up.
Between Twenty and Thirty Miles of
Iracz ONT Of Comrnission

Los Angeles. Cal, March 3O-With
the exception of the Salt Lake road the
railroad situation in Southern Cali
fornia is practically normal again. It
was given out from the office of Second
Vice President Clark of the Salt Lake
road that no train would be opera led
through between Salt Lake and Los
Angeles within 10 days and PROBABLY
not for two weeks.
Between twenty and thirty miles Of
/ track is badly dana ed. Trains from
this end are being operated as far as
Las Vegas and from the Salt Lake end
as far as Caliente. Hundreds Of men
under the personal charge of General
Manager Wells are engaged in replac-
ing the ruined track and road. No eff
fort is being made by the company to
handle through business. While it was
said that 1t was impossible to accurate
~ estimate the damage done to the
Salt Lake road by the floods there was
no doubt that the financial loss to the
company would be very large.

NEW STEAM Motor CAR.
Oen to Be Tried by Missouri Pacific
Now Being Built.

Some time in June the Missouri Pa
cific and Iron Mountain systems will
test a steam motor car, built on Orlgi-
nal plans and which is now nearing
completion in the Baden shops of the
ST Iollfs Car company. The car was
designed by the car company, and
should it prove successful, viii be the
model for similar equipment for other
roads.
The most striking features Of the
car are the arrangement for using any
kind Of fuel to produce the steam and
the unusual length of the body of the
whole structure. The car is g feet long
over the pilot. The framework is steel
and steel walls and ceilings inclose all
the machinery compartments while the
main part is constructed of wood.
There are three Compartments. The
forward compartment holds the ma
chinerv The second compartment is
arranged for handling baggage and
partment is fitted out for passengers.
The boiler room, or forward &C art
rnent. is u feet long. and the basgage
compartment is 10 feet long. The seat
ing capacity is g.
The car is figured to make a maxi
mum speed Of AS miles an hour, the
total horse power developed at the rails
being 274 The maximum pulling ca
pacities, including the weight Of the
car are 53S tons on level, five miles
per hour: 299 tons on I per cent grade,
i've miles per hour; 172 tons on 2 ner
cent grade. five miles per hour; 100
tons on per cent grade five miles an
hour At a speed OF 41.6 miles per hour
on the level, the maximum capacity is
EOS tons. The weight on the driving
wheels is 1850 pounds. The weight OF
the car. loaded, is 10000 pounds
