to be a great success. While the tests
have extended over a period of five
years. those upon which particular
Importance Is placed are so which
have just been completed on the Buf.

superintendency of c. j, Phillips, d.

The tests were made wholly UNI
known by the men under investiga-
ton, by Mr.. Phillips himself and one

in progress not an error of any kind
was discovered on the part OF any en-

Will Make Appeal.

The big mail carrying railroads
have decided to make an appeal to
the new postmaster general against
the rule which the former incumbent
OF the position promulgated requiring
a change In the methods Of weighing
the mails.
A meeting was held by the super
intendents OF mails for nearly all the
heavy mail carrying roads and 10 was
the general opinion that the new or.
der. II carried out would make It i'm.
possible for the railroads to furnish
the present service.
The new order requires that the
average weight OF mail carried. the
basis on which the total pay 10 com
puted. shall be determined by divid'
ing the total weight carried for seven
days by seven instead Of by six. as at
present. This will mean a cut OF full
ly II per ct In the pay for transpor'
lion of the mails. It has been
agreed that a committee shall be ap-
pointed. made up of one representa-.
tive of three of the strongest western
and two of the strongest eastern
roads, and that this committee shall
go 10 Washington and lay the ques.
ton before the postmaster general.
II the attempt does not succeed,
then 1t will be necessary for the rail
roads to say whether they will be
compelled to curtail the present mail
service. Any attempt on the part Of
"a single railroad. or of two or three
roads to do so would result In a gen.
eral diversion of the mails to railroads
which accepted the ruling.
Therefore, If there Is to be any at
tempt to curtail the mail service 1t
has been admitted II must be by a
concerted move by all of the main
mail routes In the country. Those
who attended the conference yester-
day declared that the crisis was a
grave one.

be brought about by combining trains

TRIAL BOTTLE FREE.
New Brand Of Ticket Proper.


A special committee appointed to
consider the question has decided to
abandon the present brand of safety
paper used In printing tickets and To
adopt a new Kind.
The action of the committee. which
was appointed by the American Asso-
citation of General Passenger and
Ticket Agents. has raised a storm OF
protest. The question OF "A safety
paper has been a constant cause OF
truoble for nearly twenty years and
has become almost a standing joke.
Years ago the railroads began ia
use safety paper. which. 1t was said.
could not be altered after a ticket was
made out without the change being
apparent. Nevertheless the ticket
brokers continued to do things to
the safety paper, and the subject was
kept alive from year to year.
Many of the general passenger
agents insisted as safety as far as
manipulation by acid and by ink was
concerned. was out of the question,
but that the railroads did need a unit
form ticket paper which could be
bought only by authorized agents OF
the association.
Largely with this end In view. the
present paper was adopted. and II
took the railroads ten years to get
rid of their old stock and get all of
their new stock printed on the new
paper. This having been accomplish
ed, the committee has now adopted
an entirely new paper, which, its
members claim. cannot be altered
without detection.
The only sample of the new paper
yet seen in Kansas City is In the pos
session of s. G. Wagner, general pas
senger and ticket agent Of the Kansas
City Southern. The paper was sub
mitted to the approval of the associa-
ton at its annual meeting last fall.
Colonel Warner. wha was In attend
ance. brought home with him several
dummy tickets made of the new
paper. The paper Is printed in two
colors. so that acids will change one
OF them and leave the other. 1t is q
soft paper. so that inks will run into
1t If alterations are made. Some of
the passenger men claim, however,
that chaos will reign for another de.
cade as soon as the railroads try to
adopt this or any other new paper.
What we want" declared a pas.
senger official yesterday, :"is not much
a safety paper as a uniform paper. We
want our conductors to be placed in
a position to know when a paper is
presented to them whether it Is or is
not a ticket"
