economies room to Il remarkable cX-

the test of continued service.
These limited sleeping cars are built
to use as chair cars in the daytime.
the chairs being arranged in pairs on
either side. with Il fixed compartment
between each chair. To see the porter
converting n chair car into Il sleeping
car is SO much of a curiosity that
many people are willing to make the
journey for this experience alone.
The two chairs are spread out to
make the foundation of Il bed. The
arms of the chair are dropped 10 the
side and form additional width of sup
port for the mattress. Then two NOV
able wooden screens are unexpectedly
pulled out of the floor of the car and
fastened at the top, forming two-thirds
of the curtain between the berth and
the aisle. The barrier between the
public and the sleeper is completed by
q curtain forming the other third, thus
making the berth practically a com
Dartment.

There are upper berths which are
formed in much the same way as in
the Pullman car. but which mist he
intended for small men only. The diff
ficulty about the trolley sleeper lies in
the fact that the berth itself is cE-

about that in the stateroom of an

ley came out of the west fully capari-
soned to ride over Standard Oil OBJ
stacles Mr.. Archbold changed front
and answered questions without eva
sion. His candor amazed the world,
for candor was not up to that date
quality supposed to adhere to any
Standard Oil official, much less to the
active head of the concern. This may
be accounted for by the fact that the
swift accretion of events and develop
ments had given Standard OIL the
function to see a great light-the great
white light of inevitable publicity No
doubt Mr.. Archbold had fought out
the problem in his own brainy head
and in conference with those august
and secret committees which control
the side issues of the old business and
had deemed It wise to accept the in
evitable. to put on a bold front and
admit facts which We're sure, to be
proved.
Mr.. Archbold was the first of the
Standard Oil men high in authority to
suggest federal incorporation and CON-
pete surrender to the national gov
eminent as a solution of the corpora
ton problem, just as he was the first
to tell of the inner workings of the
trust and of Mr.. Rockefeller's retire
ment from active connection.
II believe that the large corpora
tons of the present day" he once re-
marked, represent more nearly CO.
operative evolution and benevolent
paternalism than any other system yet
undertaken. Possibly there may be
accomplished in the eventual evolu-
! ton of the race universal cooperation
! or community of living but the &C
complishment of such a dream Is so
far in the future as to put If out of
the question for serious consideration
in this era.''
From which it Is seen that Mr.. Arch
| bold is something of u Socialist him
self, his theories to be applied some
| millions Of years hence. when the
! earth will burn canned daylight for
nocturnal illumination and perpetual
motion machines will require no axle
| grease or other Standard Oil lubri-
| cant.

TROUBLE WITH UTES.
Army Officer and Agent at Odds

washington, Nov. IA serious breach has arisen
between the Ute Indians at Thunder Butte Station

danger OF a hostile collision at any moment, ac-
cordlns to the report of Captain Carter 2 Johnson
the army officer who was sent TO the scene of the
uouole IN an effort to paCate the Indians, who
have unlimited confidence in him. The report SAYS
the Indians objected to sending their children to
distant boarding school, basing the refusal on the
ground that Captain Johnson had told them the
children would be sent school at the agency sta
ton. 1t adds that the agent has cut the ration in
half. that the Indians wish to live in peace that
Downs refused to consider their promise TO comply
with his orders and demands and that the
application OF harsh and severe remedies is not
the best policy. Captain Johnson says that the
Utes are very hungry. their women and children
suffering and they believe they have been un-
justly treated.
Commissioner LeUpp .akes Captain JohnsOn's re-
port a reflection on his bureau. Citing the fact
that the disafrected Utes have refused to work

day for labor only fifteen miles from their home.
he said:

feed them. That is not the Indian Office theory.

Peking, Nov. Japan began to-day To in
