PLAN OF TRAFFIC AGENTS
Plead Increase in Operating Ex
penses Of Lines.
FARES TO BE MADE HIGHER
Meeting to Be Held Saturday to De
eide Upon Rate-How Terminal
Company Was Formed.

The people are TO pay Tor wash
ington's new union station. 1t is
virtually decided that every rail
road using the new terminal will
increase the price of its tickets to,
through and from Washington.
The sum added to the fare will be
either 20 cents or 25 cents, except
Tor very short distances where the
fare would be a dollar or less,
when the railways will be salts
fed with a modest little 10 per
cent extra. From mileage tickets
ten or twelve additional mile cou-
pons will be torn, while a proper
tionate increase will be made in
the cost OF communication tickets
Thus there will be a charge OF ad-
mission to the new marble rail-
way palace, and the effects will
reach wherever ticket is sold to
Washington, for the Californian.
the Floridian and the Texan
bound for the nation capital will
all alike have to pay their en-
trance fee, unless they prefer to
disembark at Brookland or Alex
andria and walk in to the CITY.
The first gun in this tax on the people
was fired at the New willard last SItur-
day when the general passenger and traf-
fic ag ants of ali the railways entering
Washington held long session, with j.
r.. WOOD. Passenger traffic manager of the
Pennsylvania road. as chairman The
subject was discussed thoroughly at the
meeting, the opinion being unanimous that
the railways needed the money. 1t was
asserted that the operating expenses of
the roads would be increased largely by
the use of the new station. and tho system
of incre ased fares. outlined briefly above
was laid before the meeting The meeting
adjourned, having referred the subject to
itself, as a committee of the whole, to re-
port at the next meeting, to be called by

Will Decide Saturday.

1t is expected that this next meeting will
be Thursday or Friday, soon as the
convention of general passenger agents,
now In session at the New Willard, ad-
1ourns.
The meeting Saturday when the sub
ject was broached. was held at that par
ticular time so that the matter could be
whipped into shape for presentation to
the general passenger agents at their con-
vention, since every one Of them. except
possibly those connected with steamship
lines will be affected by the change,
which will be a rate revolution over every
road in the country. for through tickets
to or through Washington. The question
is to be discussed IN ali its bearings at the
convention, and the representatives of
the roads using the union station will ex-
plain their position To their colleagues.
The public is between the upper and
neither millstones.
As soon as the convention of general
ticket agents adjourns the men who met
Saturday under the chairmanship of Nj.
Wood will reconvene and report TO them
selves the conclusions which they have
reached Ii IS considered certain in rail-
way Circks that the advance of rates will
be approved by the officials. the only
doubt now existing in their minds being
whether they ought 10 charge 30 or -
cents.
An Easy Proposition
The decision of these men will be re-
ported To the supreme officials Of their
roads. and. on being approved by them.
the task Of remodcling the rates will then
be handed over to the general ticket
agents and their rate clerks. In the case
OF railways with headquarters at a grea,
distance the sum of % or 25 cents will be
simply and easily distracted from the
hat rate for the ticket. as 20 cents is now
taken out for every passenger riding
through the Baltimore tunnel
one railway official asked today: Who
going to pay that SO. 900, ,Oc0 or whatever
1t Is, spent for the new station and its an
proaches? Evidently II is going to be
put up to the dear public.
Inc principle on which the railways are
working is as follows: In section 10 of an
act OF Congress approved February u
l"l' the railways were authorized to form
terminal company" for the purpose OF
erecting and operating the proposed union
station, and 1t was provided that the stock
might be subscribed for and held withou,
advertisement or allotment. The stock in
this terminal company is owned. in its pro.
portion to its interests. by the seven rail.
ways which Will use the new station-the
Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Ohio the
Southern Air Line. the Atlantic Coast
Line the Richmond. Fredericksburg an6
Potomac. the Southern and the Chesa
peake and Ohio.
Therefore the situation resolves itself
into this: The roads VIII collect from
themselves for terminal expenses and pay
the money over to the terminal company
Then. as the terminal company, the roads
will pay back to themselves the proper
Tomato profit accruing to themselves as
holders in the terminal company 1t is al
very easy and as simple as A, B, c. A
condition OF affairs eactly similar exists

WHOLE TOWN DESTROYED
Twenty Killed and Over 100 Seri-

DU P0NT WORKS WIPED OUT
Shock Was Felt in Cincinnati and
in Louisville-Thought 1t an
Earthquake.

Du Pont powder works at Fon-
tanet, Ind, were wiped out by an
explosion early this morning. The
whole state felt the shock. For
long time it was not known
what had occurred. and in some
quarters it was thought there had
been an earthquake. There were
twenty killed and over one hun
dred injured, most of them severe
ly. In fact, few people in the
town of 300 escaped without some
hurt. Telephone and telegraph
communication with the place
was instantly cut off. All the aid
possible was rushed to the spot
by automobile parties, and the
services of all the physicians in
the vicinity were called into play.
There were three explosions
shortly before 9 o'clock, and a
fourth one at 10 o'clock, in which
a number of the physicians were
slightly injured, among them Drs.
Willien and Moore of Terre
Haute.
BRAZIL, Ind. October 15-From twan-

100 injured, and every house In Fontanet
destroyed, rendering 700 residents home
less, is the result of the explosion of the
mills Of the Dupont Powder Company,
near Fontanet, at 9:15 o'clock today.
The first explosion occurred in the glaz-
ing mill of the plant at 9:15. Quickly fol-
lowing the other mills blew up, there be-
ing three distinct conclusions at intervals
of few minutes.
In the mills at the time were from sew
enty-ive to eighty men at work When
the glazing mill exploded the men ran for
their lives from the other mills, and many
thus escaped death, but received serious
injuries.
At the first explosion the inhabitants
of the town ran from the buildings, and
thus saved themselves. No one was killed
in the town. although there is not build
ing left standing.
Second Explosion.
At 1915, ninety minutes after the first
explosion, the heat from the burning
mills exploded the great powder maya
zine situated in a hollow several hundred
yards from the mills. 1t contained MANY
thousand kegs of powder and the concus-
sion was even greater than those from
the explosions of the mills. Among those
injured from the magazine explosion were
several physicians who were at work
among the dead and dying.
