workings to other cities.
A novel theory advanced by DR..
Reitman is that the cure for the
tramp evil lies within reach of the
railroad companies. II the railroads
are penalized for carrying tramps they
will cease to do SO, he reasons Last
yea tramps COS the railways Of the

killed and fifteen thousand injured
The cost to cities in arresting and
feeding the army Of nomads is meal
culable. If the railroads were pun
ished for carrying tramps they could
keep them off their trains. He cites
the example of the Pennsylvania road,
which maintains a police force at
every strategic point along the line,
with the result that the hobo Is not
only kept off their trains, but off the
right of way as well.
DR.. Reitman, when asked as to
what cause recruits the army OF
tramps in these piping days Of pros
perity. said: "Chief of all causes is
the 'wanderlust. You see its work

CRAFTSMAN HITE RESIGNS.
A Number of Recent Changes in the
Patent Office

Wallace w. Hite, chief craftsman of the
patent office, has resigned and will leave
the office tomorrow 1t is understood that
he will engage in private business. His
position of chief craftsman comes under
the scope of the civil service commission
and a successor will probably be selected
by promotion. The salary is 5000 a year.
Mr.. fiite entered the government service
as chief craftsman twelve years ago, and
has served successfully in that position
without interruption. He is a native of
Connecticut, but was appointed from New
Mexico.
Frank A. Loeff1er of Pennsylvania has
been promoted from the position of first
assistant examiner in the patent Office to
that of principal examiner and from a sal
airy of 81 800 to one of $3.50 a year. Mr..
Loeffler entered the patent Office May
%, 1893.
James H. Colwell of Pennsylvania has
also been promoted from first assistant ex-
aminer to principal examiner with the
same salary Mr.. Loeffler. He entered
the office June !, 1899.
Messrs. Colwell and Loeff1er will fill
vacancies resulting from the designations
of Il. A. Witherspoon, principal examiner,
and John NJ. Colt, eXa miner-in-chief. Mr..
Colts former position was filled by the
promotion of John B. Macauley, which re-
suited in a vacancy in the position Of
principal examiner.

CHICAGO. H.. April 19.-Chicago is to
have a new route to the Michigan PENN
sula, via South Haven and the kalamazoo,
Lake Shore and Chicago, new railroad in
corporated .on January 15 and owned by
stockholders who own steamers of the Chi
cago and South Haven line. The new line
will give Chicago a route to Kalamazoo
competitive with the Michigan Central,
which heretofore had a practical monopoly
of the business 1t will open for travel to-
day. The line consists of a new road be-
tween Kalamazoo and Lawton, Mich, built
by owners of the steamship line. rom
I.awton to South Haven the route will be
over the old South Haven and Eastern road
which has formed part of the Pere Mar
quette system and was leased TO the new
company for twenty-five years.
The new road will operate in connection
with the Pere Marquette and Michigan Cen
trail and afford a differential route to De-
troit. 1t may be possible to make some of
the more important towns between South
Haven and Detroit at a much lower rate
than is now in force.
