NEW YORK. Oct. BE. H. Hartman

stockholders of the Union Pacific Rail-
read Company. which is being held at
Sat Lake City today. The management

ing William Mahl. who was elected a sue
cessor TO David Wilcox last summer.
It was denied that II. H. Rogers, owing

reelection. The report was declared TO be
without foundation. and it was said that
the management expected TO reflect the en-
tire board with the biggest vote in the
history OF the company.
There were rumors. however, in the
financial district that objection to the pres
ent control will develop at the meeting.

REPORTS ON RATES
PRESIDENTS OF RAILROADS
DEPRECATE NEW LAWS.
Hope That Public Will Soon Realize
That Its Attitude of Hostility Is
Not Beneficial to Anybody.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Complaints against
anti-raiIroad legislation of various States
characterize the annual reports of three
railroad companies, which have just been
issued. h reads are the Atcfls9n,
Topeka and Sante Fe, the Wabash and the
Chesapeake and Ohio.
President Edward p. Ripley, of the
Atchison. says of rate reductions:
1T is hoped aud believed that the pubic
will coon realize that its recent attitude
toward railroad companies In general has
not been Just to their stockholders and
bondholders, and also that unless the con-
fdence of investors In the security and
stability of railway investments is re-
stored It will be impossible to obtain the
additional railway facilities which are
necessary to the development of the coun-
try"
President Ripley adds that the Atchison's
directors have suspended various extensive
projects. which were contemplated, and
will limit the company's capital expendi-
lures TO the completion of improvements
to which the company is already commit
ted.
President George w. Stevens, of the
Chesapeake and Ohio. says:
1T would seem to be 10 the interest OF
the communities and people served by rail-
road lines that the revenues should not be
lessened or the credit injured by further
reducing rates that are now inadequate
to meet the physical requirements of the
property and yield the return which share
holders may rfshtfully and reasonably ex-
pect."
President Frederick A.. Delano, of the
Wabash, speaking of enactments of two
cent passenger laws by Iowa, Indiana. Hi
nois and Missouri, says:
While these laws have not been effective
during the fiscal year, and we cannot
determine accurately their re-
suits, 1t is quite clear that they must, If re-
manning in force. seriously affect our pas
revenues"

The fact that the consumers of copper
nave not yet responded to any extent to
former reductions Is given the reason for
the further decline in the price Of the
metal, which is now selling at IA cents n
pound. In spite of the curtailment at the
mines OF 90 per cent or more of the mol
mai output, the production is still far in
excess of the demand, and the metal Is
moving only in small lots on orders for

CARE OF YOUNG DUcKLINes.

To produce a superior strain OF vlg-
orous, hardy birds, one should com
mence several generations before they
are Matched. This statement may
seem erratic, but as l have endeav-
ored to show in my previous advices'
results depend fully upon the treat
ment of the parents before the eggs
are produced and the care OF the eggs
during Matching as upon the attention
given to the ducklings after they are
Matched. Hereditary weaknesses are
not likely to appear if the parents, as
well as the grandparents, have been
carefully and property fed, housed
and cared for
II Matched under hens, the very best
attention which can be given the eggs
is to leave them severely alone as
long as the hens are doing well and
do not break them. Whenever the
hens are let off the nests to eat, look
the eggs over, and remove any broken
ones, washing those that have become
daubed from contact with the broken
ones. In washing them use SOFT
sponge and water heated to about loo
degrees Fahrenheit. DO not use any
more, water than is absolutely neces-
cary to clean them. During cold
weather. cover the eggs with a piece
of burlap when the hens are OF, IN
order to prevent them from cooling

Always keep record of the eggs

THE SOUTH HAS WORKED
OUT THREE GREAT TASKS

By way of introduction to it's series
of articles on The South, the
Worlds Work for June says:
THE present industrial awakening
in the southern states is the most i'm
portant economic event in our history
since the settlement of the west. Go
where you will, the people are build
ing homes, schools and roads, and in
the cities business buildings and fac
tories. There is a crying need OF
more houses in this town"-a headline
like this appears in most of the news

trains are crowded with people The
railroads cannot haul the freight. One
day lately one hundred freight trains
passed drought the first capital OF
the Confederacy; and Montgomery is
now city of beautiful homes ana
modern business methods. The very
streets of Mississippi river cities were
filed with cotton last spring, for there
were not enough boats and trains to
move it. The income from the very
cabbage and lettuce fields OF South
Carolina is greater than the revenue
of the state when it seeded. There
are new hotels in most of the towns,
and new and old alike are crowded.
Several southern states have commits

lands and good markets await them.
The newspapers are prosper

old and smaller ones. Thousands OF
farmers who used to be in debt now
have cash in banks that did not exist
five years ago. The people are cheer
full and thy look at life from diff
ferent angle.
"The south has worked out three
fundamental tasks which all the world
may profit by:
Il. How to teach the farmer who
is now on the land to double his crop;
80. How to teach boys and girls
practical trades while they are getting
their education;
"3. How to govern cities without
politics and graft.
Most of the old notions about the
south and the southern people that
have been held in the north must
now be revised; for everyday events
contradict the conclusions that were
drawn from facts of the past.

PRINCE OF PEACE
BRYAN'S THEME
ADDRESS UNDER Y. N. C. A. AUS
PIcEs AT RIcHMoND-"TAINT-
Ed" MONEY.

RICHMOND, Va. June 2.-William
Jennings Bryan spoke this afternoon
before crowd OF more than 1000 men
at the City Auditorium. The meeting,
which was under the auspices Of the
local Young Mems Christian Associa'
ton, was of a religious nature. Mr..
Bryan's speech concluding the services.
On the platform sat a number of prom
inent men, among them Gov. Swanson,
Mayor Mccarthy and Lieut.. Gov.
Ellyson, who introduced the speaker.
Mr.. Bryan made no allusion to the
Confederacy, and did not touch on the
subject of the war. His subject was
THE Prince of Peace" which devel-
oped into a defense of Christianity.
There were not lacking remarks OF a
political nature, and Mr.. Bryan
prodded the trusts, President Roose-
veit and Mr.. Rockefeller, whose faint
ed money" he spoke of with great
scorn. The address was well received,
and was at times cheered. At the con-
clusion of the services many crowded
on the platform to shake his hand.
Tonight Mr.. Bryan was entertained
at dinner by Gov. Swanson, with whom
he is stopping. Among the guests
were Gov Warfield, of Maryland, and
Gen. Riggs, his Adjutant General.

ANTI-RACE LAW IS
HELD TO BE VOID

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 3.-The an
ti-race track gambling bill was de-
clareG unconstitutional today by Judge
Palmer, of the Second Criminal Court,
holding that the act known as Senate
Bill No. 2 contained more than one
subject in its caption, and was there
fore null and void. Judge Palmer de-
cided that subsequent act infiicting
penalties upon those who encouraged
betting on horse races had nothing
left to stand on, and quashed the in
dictments against the New Memphis
Jockey Club.
Attorney General George S. Yerger
secured the indictment of the Jockey
Club upon the ground that 1t had vio-
lated the act known as Senate Bill
No. 151, which makes 1t misdemean-
or to encourage and assist or permit
gambling on horse races, and provides
that the charter Of a company guilty
OF such violation shall be forfeited.
In arguing the case before Judge
Palmer, the Attorney General took
the position that even IL the original
act known generally as the "Foust
law" was declared null and void. the
Legislature, under its police powers,
had the right to pass the act known
as Senate Bill No. 151, and that the
latter could stand strictly upon it's
own merits.
Attorneys for the Jockey Club in
sisted that as the first act was uncon.
stitutional, 1t could not be possible
to punish men for encouraging that
which was recognized as legitimate
Judge Palmer took this view Of the
case
Rumors of fall race meeting were
set ahoat soon after the decision was
rendered, but nothing authoritative
could be learned on the subject.

POULTRY FEED.

Cotton-seed meal is attracting at

wheat bran, wheat middlings, -four

this is made into very thick, dry
mash and then fed. Cotton-seed meal
is rich in the requirements for an egg
