Hampton stirred uneasily in his

There was no response. but the
speaker moistened his lips and pro-

Wynkoop had taken one hasty step
backward. impelled to 1t by the fierce
anger blazing from those stern, gray
eyes. But now he paused, and, for
the only time on record, discovered
the conventional language Of polite so
ciety inadequate to express his needs.

light upon which other men had looked

Government Cuts Million Dol
lars Off Postal Revenue
of Railroads
AFFECTS THE WESTERN LINES
Reduction is to Follow the Report OF
Many nspectors-space Allotment
in Railway Postal Cars Cut Down
Rumors of Scandal Rife-Weisht
Mail in October.

! Chicago. July 26.-The revenue de-
rived from hauling the United States
mails by the railroads running west
from Chicago ST. Louis, st. Paul and
Minneapolis, and the Missouri river, Is
TO be- further reduced approximately
81 .OOO. 900 a year as the immediate re-
suit of the reports of 125 inspectors
who have been at work for the last SIX
months determining whether the space
used in railway postal cars by the
government was in excess OF space
sufficient to accomplish the work,
when Postmaster General Cortelyou
was at the head of the department he
made a ruling reducing the compensa-
ton for carrying the mail, and also
ordered inspectors to make reports on
the compensation allowed for car
space.
Under the terms of the postal laws,
the railroads are not allowed compen-
sation for car space under thirty feet,
but between thirty and forty feet the
railroads collect $50 mile per an
mum; forty to fifty feet. $40; nifty feet
and over $50. 1t makes no difference
as to the size of a car. 1t may be
fifty feet or it may be forty, II the gov
eminent says the work can be ac-
complished in thirty feet of space the
railroad cannot collect any compensa-
ton.
Nearly all the cars built in the last
five years are sixty feet in length ex-
cepting few which are used on the
fast mail trains between Chicago anu
New York.
Cutting Down the Space.
Yesterday officers in charge of mails
on the western railroads having head
quarters in Chicago received notice
from the postoffice department cutting
down the space allotment in the rail-
way postal cars to forty feet on vari-
Gus routes making reduction of $l5
mile. or a saving for the government
of $500 a year in a 500 mile run for
single car. There are likely to be
six cars on the route, making total
saving OF $4,000 for one postal route.
1t is intimated that there is more
back of the inspectors reports than
has appeared on the surface. Rumors
are rife that scandal may be uncov-
cred when the reports are given pub

transferred to other cars for shipment
to destination on the rate to destina-
ton from Portland. 1t is also alleged
that the defendant lines refuse to in
terchange cars and that they do not
furnish enough cars.
The petitioners assert that the lun-
Der interests in Washington are suf-
fering because of their inability to
secure transportation facilities for their
products, although other classes of
freight are handled by the railroads
with no more delay than is incident
to natural conditions.
The complainants ask the commits
sion to compel the defendants to es-
tablish through routes and joint rates
via Portland and to make such other
orders as will facilitate the transpor-
tation of their business. One of the
difficulties, 1t is alleged, is that the
lines of the Hartman system refuse
to exchange cars with the lines of the
Hill system because of differences be-
tween the heads of the two companies.
On the contrary, it Is urged by the
railroads, that they have been unable
to supply the necessary cars to trans
port the lumber traffic because their
increase of equipment unavoidably has
not kept pace with business in the
state of washington.
This is one of the first to be brought
before the commission under the pro-
visions of the new rate law, which
compels carriers to establish through
routes and Joint rates.

PASADENA CUTOFF
READY TO OPEN
NEW SERVICE WILL BEGIN ON
SATURDAY
Saves Over Five Minutes in Running
Time on Northern Route-Mayor
Harper Signs New
Fender Law

Again comes an announcement that
the new Pasadena trolley cutoff on the
short line will be opened for traffic
soon, this time on June 10.
All the settlements between Los An
geles and Pasadena along the Pacific
Electric system will be over five min
utes nearer the business section OF
Los Angeles after the new line is in
operation.
The towns most affected are Pasa-
dena, South Pasadena, Oneonta Park,
Hotel Wentworth neighborhood, Mon
rovia, San Gabriel, Sierra Madre, Ar
cadia, Alhambra, Baldwin's ranch and
the places between.
The line turns off on a private right
of-way near the old Death Dip bridge,
passing Hereunder and also passing
behind Eastlake park, emerging some
200 yards north of the northern end or
the park The new route avoids the
stop at the Southern Pacific crossing
at Eastlake park, besides other street
crossings, hence stops will be fewer.
The old short line cars will turn
back at Eastlake park, as at present
arranged, and run south as far as
Watts, thus giving the section be-
tween Los Angeles and Watts a better
service. Since the beach cars quit
stopping at way points except at Watts
there have been many complaints.
Mr.. Huntington told The Herald last
week that as soon as all the materials
and construction cars had been trans
ferred to the other end of the Covina
line, now being built, the new cut-oH
cars would be run. AS long as these
trains passed up and down on the line
traffic would have been interfered
with.

BROADWAY HAS
FAMOUS AD MAN
H, S. CARROLL~APP0INTED TO
POSITION
Knows the Store and Its Methods
Thoroughly and VIII Keep the
Business in Front
Ranks

H S. Carroll, an advertising man
whose success in the middle west and
later in Arizona made his name known
among ad men all over the country,
has been appointed advertising man
ager of the Broadway department
store. Mr.. Carroll, however, is not a
newcomer to the Broadway ranks. He
went there first as superintendent of
the big stores rapidly growing mail
order business, and under his able
management that branch of the busi-
ness prospered amazingly.
The new advertising man won his
position not by accident but by the
hardest kind Of hard work. He began
his department store experience in
Minnesota, starting as bundle boy and
working steadily upward in the same
house until finally he was made adj
VertiSing manager. 1t took ten years
and in that ten years Mr. Carroll
thoroughly familiarized himself with
the business from the bundle counter
up.
Then he went to Arizona to take
charge of the publicity end of large
hardware and vehicle company Here
again success followed him. In Los
Angeles, however, he saw a wider
sphere of usefulness, and to Los An
geles he came, going at once to the
Broadway store.
Broadway methods and Broadway
advertising are not new to me-" said
Mr.. Carroll yesterday. I've studied
them, ana let me say here that the
same truthful, straightforward bust
ness arguments that have put the
Broadway where it is today will be
continued, and my every aim and best
endeavors will go always to promote
each and every branch of this busy
fast growing store to make Don't
Worry Watch Us Grow mean more
