Some One With the Gift of In
depreciation Can Get
a Position.

Chicago July 16.-EXecutive officials
and general counsel of every railroad
west of Chicago held conference today
with a view of determining the meaning
of all of the provisions of the new rate
law. j. C. Stubbs, traffic director of
the Hartman lines, presided at the con-
ference and outlined the purposes of the
gathering. 1t developed, however, that
there were almost as many views regard
ing the Interpretation of the statutes as
there were lawyers and traffic men pres
ent. 1t was decided, therefore, to appoint
two committees one of traffic men, and
one of legal men. The traffic men are
to meet and arrange their plans for car
rying the law into effect and whenever
they encounter a, provision that they are
unable to solve they are to call on the
legal committee for opinions. In the
meantime the committee of lawyers is to
hold meetings and determine what they
consider the statute requires.
The committee is made up as follows:
Lloyd w. Bowers and H. r. Mccullough,
Chicago & Northwestern road c. W.
Bum and Darius Miller. Northern Paci-
fic: George r. Peck and J. H. Hiland,
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; r. NJ.

CARRYING A NEW PACK.
Experiment Tried on Fort Douglas
Troops During March.
Especial to The Herald. }

Pueblo. Colo. July 1.-THE march to
Fort Russell will determine the efficiency
of the new Merriam pack. This is a pack
designed by General Merriam to improve
the old-style roll pack now used in the
army. The old-style pack tends to bind
the soldiers chest and impedes his march
ing The new pack is swung on the shoul-
ders, but by means of two sticks and q
harness the weight is placed on the hips.
E and l. companies of the Twenty ninth
infantry will carry the new pack over the
255 miles TO Fort Russell, and the old pack
on the return trip, to compare their COM
fort. If the new one proves successful it
is likely that it viii be adopted by the
whole army
Captain Allen and Lieutenant Point of
the Twenty ninth infantry will return to
Fort Douglas, whence they will journey
to Fort Sill Oklahoma, to take part in
the competitive target shoot held there
about Aug /. The two best marksmen
from each regiment are qualified for this
shoot to compete for supremacy in the
southwest division. The winners of this
shoot so to Fort Sheridan 10 determine
the army championship.

ping over on the Southern hotel, caus-
ing its walls to collapse. The loss is

and warned all the guests, who had
hardly left the hotel before the crash
came. The-only man who was nearly
caught in the ruins was Charles Doug
las. who had come from San Francisco
to get out of the earthquake zone.

alliance the nature of which is not GER
