RIGID INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED,
Conductors Must Exercise Great Car,
Regarding Free Passes.

Specific instructions have been is
sued to all conductors by the railway
companies. which are making life un-
pleasant for the holders of state passes
who attempt to make interstate trips
by using their passes a part of the trip.
In these instructions the conductors
are plainly to accept no free transport
tation for any part of a continuous in
terstate trip.
If a pass holder at Topeka asks to
be carried to Kansas City. Chicago or
other points outside of the state he
must pay full fare the entire distance.
If the pass is issued to Holiday or Ar
gentine on the Santa Fe and the pas
senger uses his pass to either of those
places and then gets off to buy a ticket
for the rest of the distance he must
pay the full fare from Topeka to Kan
sas City or such point as is his destina-
ton. providing he again gets on the
same train and attempts to complete
his journey.
Under the recent orders the only
way a man can use a state pass as
part of an interstate fare is to get off
at Argentine and buy his ticket to
Kansas City and then wait for the
next train.

JOIN MAcpoNALp,s FIGHT.
Topeka Man Didn't Entirely Lose
Simplifed Spelling Combat.

John Macdonald, who created some
what of stir at the national meet
ing of school superintendent at Chi
cago by his fight on simplified spelling
didn't entirely lose his battle.
The Chicago Tribune prints the fol-
lowing:
.'Simplified spelling was approved
and discouraged by the department of
superintendent of the National Edu-
cational association at it's afternoon
session yesterday. one resolution ex-
pressing the gratifica ton of the asso-
citation over the policy of the simpli-
fled spelling board and approving
President Roosevelt's attitude for
had been recOnsidered three times,
while a second resolution making the
use of simpliffed spelling optional with
teachers and pupils was turned down
by narrow vote.
Professor E. O. Vail of Oak Park.
who has been a stanch advocate of re-
form in spelling for the last Is years,
offered the resolutions and before the
convention understood their import
they were both adopted by a viva
voce vote. At the suggestion of John
Macdonald of Topeka. Kan. who has
opposed simplified spelling on the floor
of each national convention of the or
ganization, the resolutions were recon.
sidered and after prolonged discussion
the first was adopted by a vote of 165
to "a, while the second was lost by a
vote of LAG to 131.
John Macdonald of Topeka rose
and bitterly attacked the movement
that had been under way to bring about
reform in the system of spelling
and said that he protested against
saddling this incubus" on an innocent
public and asserted that such a sys-
tenn would be rejected by all who be-
lieve in keeping the beauty and
strength of the English language in
tact. He also designated the move
ment a nightmare that walks
through our dreams"
He also said the fact that the Dresi.
dent of St. Andrews college. Scotland.
has Endorsed the movement for Simpiified
spelling would have no weight with him
and that common sense would govern him
in voicing his sentiments.
From all paris of the hall superi2ten-
dents clamored for recognition and S,le
chair experienced much difficulty in main
tanning order. Superintendent George
Powell of Ohio moved that the word EN-
courage be stricken from the second res
olution and after objections the part
of Prof. Vail and others the chairman put
the question and the convention by al
most unanimous vote decided to eliminate
the word.
Superintendent Macdonald facetiously re-
marked when the discussion was resumed
that pupils of the public schools of the
country should be permitted to adopt the
simplified spelling made famous by Josh
Billings and Artemus Ward.

Witness Insists That the Writer

stand.
The first letter handed to DR.. Evans
was one upon which he declined to
express an opinion, saying that it was
too short to enable him. leaving all
else out of the question, to determine
the mental condition of the writer.
The next letter, taken by itself, the
doctor also said would not enable him
to form a scientific opinion regarding
the sanity of the writer, and the same
thing applied to the next.
Thaw took several newspaper men
who sat within two feet of his counSel
table to task today for what he term
ed their unwarranted action in copying
from a piece of paper on which he
was writing yesterday afternoon. he
said he had contemplated giving out

Conference Between General
Managers and Trainmen Ends.
Officials and Employees of Vari-
Gus Roads Unable to Agree.
REIECT All. 0EEERS
REJECT ALL OFFERS.
Men of Forty-two Systems will
Take Secret Ballot on Striking.
Other Railroad Items of Inter
est to Railroad Men.

Chicago, ILL.,, March Negotiations
between the western railroad managers
and the trainmen and conductors were
abruptly terminated last night without
an agreement being reached. The ques-
ton of a strike is now up to the men.
Committees representing the men on
forty-two railroad systems throughout
the west left the city, carrying with
them strike ballots to be voted on
About fifteen days will be required to
take a secret ballot. That the vote will
be in favor of accepting the compromise
offer made by the railroads is not ex-
pected. The ballot places the two Ques-
accept the offer or place the authority
to order strike in the hands of their
executive officers. If a strike vote is
carried the officers will again put the
matter up to the general managers be-
fore calling out the men.
Several concessions were offered by
the general managers, but few of them
were acceptable to the committees. Last
night the officers received a communica-
ton from the general managers, stating
that they had reached the limit and
would go no further. The committees
replied that they also had made all the
concessions from their original demands
that they felt themselves justified in
doing, and that it was up to the rank
and file of their respective organizations
to decide on the next step.
The offer made by the railroads aver
ages about per cent increase in wages.
with practically no change in the hours
or working conditions. The men on all
freight trains were offered less than
per cent increase. The eight-hour day
originally proposed by the men, which
in reality means speed of twelve and
one-half miles an hour, instead of ten
miles, as at present, was waived dur
ing the conference, and substitute of
eleven miles an hour, or a nine-hour
day proposed. The managers refused
to make any concessions on the ques-
ton of hours, except that on one or two
roads, where the wages are now based
on twelve hours a day, a reduction was
offered of ten hours as a basis
In the original demands of the men
thew asked for time and one-haf for
overtime. This demand they also waiV-
ed and offered to accept pro rata
scale for overtime.
The negotiations between the rail-
roads and the trainmen and conductors
have been carried on in almost daily
conferences since January 81.
