Eastern Passenger Agents. Are. Con-
siderins the Result the New
Low Rates Will Have on the Fast
Trains to the West.

New York, March 12.-Severa1 pas
senger agents Of the New York Gem
tral lines at an. informal conference
talked chiefly Of the possibility OF
finding some way by which the fast
through trains to the west, on which
an extra fare is charged, can be run
If the cent a mile movement spreads.
No one could arrive at any devise for
getting around the proposition IL Ilil-
nois, Michigan and New York ever
adopt the 2-cent rate, and 1t was the
general opinion that IL passenger rate
busting keeps up there will not be
anything leaving New York for the
middle states except slow trains. $50
long as New York state leaves passen-
ger rates alone said one Of the pas
senger agents, I'VE can find some way
OF tacking on the extra fare, even if
the man who pays 1t does travel most
of the way through a country where
there is d 2-cent rate. There has
never been any complaint from per-
sons who use the trains. If they want
to get across the country faster than
they could go on an ordinary train,
they are willing to pay for It"

upon asked that the taking of Smiths
testimony be postponed until after

er policemen who saw Thaw the night
