NO MORE VERY
FAST TRAINS
Western Railroad Officials Pro-
pose Counter Move in the
Two-Cent Agitation.
FLYERS FOR LOCAL. SERVICE.
General Lengthening of Running
Schedules Is Now Contemplated
Half n Day Longer to- Frisco.

Chicago, March 1s-The Record
Herald today says: western Rail-
road officials ara discussing the advis-
ability OF engthenlng out the rum
ming time OF fast trains with view
to greater economy OF operation. "A
meeting to discuss passenger schedules
has been called for today. 1t Is the
second gathering OF the kind within
q short time.
1t is stated that owing to a-oent
passenger legislation and the necessity
OF conserving revenue everywhere the
western officials believe y general
lengthesllng In train schedules Is ad.
visable. IT Is said all that remains
TO carry the plan into effect Is an
agreement as to the time II fs advisable
to make Tentative schedules are be-
Ing prepared by several roads with
view to presentation to the meeting.
Although no understanding has been
reached. there is a general feeling that
the time OF the fast trains between
Chicago and Omaha and Kansas City
should be heightened by about two
hours, the time OF the fast trains be-
tween Chicago and Denver by five OF
six hours, and the time OF the fast
trains between Chicago and the Pacific
coast by nearly half day.
The saving in expense by such
Encouragement in schedules would re-
suit In saving In the cost OF operation
of the trains affected and would also
make 1t possible to take off a large
number of local trains.

up pending a decision as 70 what kind
Of poles shall be used and what distance
they shall be set apart, II was the gen.
eral sentiment OF the committee and
DINERS present today that 80 feet apart
for poles, as proposed by the petitioners,
would be entirely too close, and
that u would be hard matter
to Induce property owners on tho
lower part OF tho street 10 follow such
a plan. il was started by Mr.. Mem
denhall and also by Councilman Carter
that the Utah Light and Railway COM
pany Intends 70 set trolley poles on the

Will place thereon clusters OF four
lights each, without cost 10 the city on
property owners. with rho exception OF
payment for the power used.
CITY Engineer Kelsey'a plan is 10
place intermediate poles between troll.
~ poles. with clusters u Ave lights on
each That would give the poles a uni.
Tor distance OF 50 feet apart the entire
length OF the street. Those present
seemed 10 favor the latter plan, and an
endeavor Will be made 10 induce the

When Alphonse Daudet brought out
"Sappho' an American publishing
house that issued religious books, not
knowing its character, offered NJ. Dau-
Diet large sum for advance sheets of
the work. He accepted the offer, and
the advance sheets were sent. When
the publishers received them they de-
cided that they could not issue the
book, and they cabled to the author,
"'Sappho' will not do" This dispatch
puzzled Daudet He consulted with
numbers of friends. and this was the
conclusion at which they eventLa.iy
arrived: 'Sappho" in French Is spelled
with one "p''-"Sapho." after the Greek
fashion. In English 1t is spelled with
two An unusually acute friend point
ed this out to Daudet. which much re-
lieved the novelist. and he cabled back
to the publishers. spell it with two
p's" 1t is needless to state that the
publishers were more astonished at
Daudet's reply than he had been at
their cable dispatch.

CARELESS of age and sedentary habits.
men grown gray in the service are re-
quired to mount steed and dash ever
the allotted space to test their abil-
ity to remain in the saddle should &C
tual war demand that they so into the
field.
The army officer of tact has learned
to express his resentment only in
terms expressed in print by dash, so
there is no open revolt, but seldom
has an order been given that has caus-
ed so much bitterness. 1t is clear
that many of the officers are unfit for
the riding test, but they are not the
sort of men to say SO.
