Passengers Right to seat Defined.

Former Governor Chamberlain Of
Connecticut and Edward AtWater,
president of the State Business Men s
association, refused to pay fare on a
crowded train from Bridgeprt to New
Haven because they could not get
seats. The matter was widely dis
cussed and the New York, New Haven
& Hartford management has issued
the following statement:
"A railroad or common carrier IS
bound to furnish reasonable seating
accommodation for the average num-
Der Of passengers carried on its line.
It is not bound, however, to buy
enough passenger cars to furnish seat
ing capacity for a. few days in the year
when travel Is at Its height, If such
cars would remain unused at other
times Of the year.
"a passenger has a right to a seat
in a train, but he has not a right to
seat in any particular train, and If he
boards a train and finds the seats are
exhausted he has no right to insist
upon a seat before paying his fare. It
is his option to travel on that train
without a seat or tc get off and take
the next train, upon which he can get
a seat. If he insists upon remaining
upon a train where there is no seat he
must pay his fare or be subjected to
the statutory penalties for evasion OF
fare. This doctrine is supported by
BaIdwin's American railroad law and
by other decisions"

Wichita, Kan, Sept. 1.-THE attempt
of the school board to separate the
white and negro children Of this city
proved successful Monday, although out
of over 500 negro pupils in the city, but
80 enrolled at the buildings designated
for them. The rest went to the school
buildings for white children and were
refused admittance.
At a mass meeting of negroes last
night it was decided to enjoin the school
board from maintaining separate
schools. Money was raised to fight out
the case in the courts.
AS a result of the action of the teach
ers in refusing negro children admit
lance at other schools than the ones
designated by the board, numerous en-
counters between negroes and white
people have resulted. There is much ex-
element over the matter.

3STnapS the most Striking
about this tabulation is the fact that st.
Louis & San Francisco, q very large pro-
portion of whose mileage is supposed
to be a light traffic railroad in the
southwest, shows gross earnings per
mile for the month only SAG lighter than
the Rock Island, system whose main
stem has been a trunk line western rail-
road for fifty years,
In fact, the real growth in the bust
ness of the Rock Island and the Frisco
is coming on the lines through new ter
ritory A lot of mileage on both the
Frisco and the Rock Island system is
not by any means paying its full share
of the fixed charges, but the proportion
of this mileage to the total is becoming
smaller month by month. The Rock Is
land line from St. Louis to Kansas City
is not profitable Almost every other
mile of the system pays its way
There is no special feature in the traf-
fic results of the month. The same ten
dency that was noted in earlier reports,
namely, a tendency toward the reduction
of the basic cost in moving the freight
and passenger business, is strongly
marked; in fact, it is responsible for the
good showing in net earnings. Both the
roads kept up their maintenance, and
these accounts appear to be now on a
basis quite sufficient to guard against
any deterioration of the property.
The st. Louis & San Francisco Rail-
road company has declared the regular
quarterly dividend of 1 per cent on its
first preferred stock. payable October
L Inasmuch as the dividend on the
second preferred stock had been dropped
in accordance with the policy It the
beginning of the year by the Rock Is
land and the Frisco systems to put sur
plus earnings back into the properties,
it has been thought by some that the
first preferred dividend5would be omit
