MAKING A new RECORD.
The Lusitania Is Two Hours Ahead of
Former Time.

New York, Nov. IA wireless dis
patch from the steamer Lusitania re-
ceived late last night says there is ev-
cry indication that the Lusitania's rec
ord, established on her last westward
voyage, will be broken. When the dis
patch was sent the steamer was two
hours ahead of the former run.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, the actress,
who is one of the passengers, has offer
ed $500, to the engineers and stokers #
the ship makes Sandy Hook before mid
night tonight.
The daily runs have been Cos, GIG, and
61S knots.
The Lusitania has a new claim on
fame. After demonstrating the right
to be labeled the largest and fastest
steamship af1oat, the great Cunarder is
now playing an important part in the
financial rehabilitation of the United
States. She left Liverpool with $10,00O,-
600 in gold coin aboard, the greatest
shipment of the yellow metal ever made
in a single vessel. The treasure con-
voys of the Incas and the plate ships
which once sailed the Spanish main
were but trifies in value by comparison
with the Lusitania on her present trip.
This 10000, 900 shipment is the advance
guard of the $37, 900 worth of gold
which has been engaged abroad to re-
lieve the monetary stringency here.

HEARST IS SUED.
William Astor ChanIer Makes Charge
of Criminal Libel.

New York, Nov. 7-William R. Hearst
court of special sessions for a hearing
on the charge of criminal libel brought
against him by former Congressman
William A Chanler. Mr.. Chanler al
leges that the libel was contained in
recent article appearing in the New
York Evening Journal concerning the
case of Raymond Hitchcock, in which
Mr.. Chanler's name was mentioned
The complainant was on the witness
stand and denied absolutely that he
had ever been at Hitchcock's house
when young girls were there He also
denied that he had ever ridden in
Hitchcock's automobile at any time.
Mr.. Chanler said that Hitchcock for the
past two years had owned home near
his own at Great Neck, Long Island,
and that he knew the actor quite well.
At the conclusion of the hearing coun-
sci for Mr.. Hearst moved that the case
be dismissed and that Mr.. Hearst be
not held for the grand jury on the
ground that his proprietorship of the
paper had not been proven and that the
article in question had not been shown
to be of a libelous character.
In this connection it was testified by
an employe of the Evening Journal that
Mr.. Hearst never wrote for that paper
and that his only interest in it was in
a financial way. Justice Wyatt gave
counsel until next Monday to file briefs
and said that he would render a decis-
next Wednesday.

Parsons. Kan, Nov. IAN order has
been made by the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway company canoeing con-
tract let several months ago to the Amer

The contract was for 1000 cars, 800 or
which have been turned out by the St
Charles shops. Work on the second 500
would have been started this morning. At
present the freight department has 115 box
cars to be built for the Rock Island sys-
tenn and this will require about three
weeks
The employees are very downcast at
prospects, as no new contracts are being
sent in. The passenger department has
work until February.
The railroads begin laying off every
year at the commencement of winter prac-
tically all workmen engaged in construc-
ton and Improvement operations. The re-
duction of these forces has now begun on
some of the roads. but not on the Katy
BY the time that the weather becomes so
severe as to prevent activity on these
lines, all the extra special employees will
be out of the service.
The management of the southwestern
and western roads are now considering
the number of men to be laid off and the
work to be stopped. How many men will
be retained will depend to a great extent
on the work that can be pursued during
the winter.
