TRAINS MOVED
BY TELEPHONE
PHONE SERVICE TAKES PLACE
OF TELEGRAPH or
SOME ROADS.
NEW LINE COMPLETED BETWEEN
MILWAUKEE AND MADISON ON
ST. PAUL ROAD.

Substitution of the telephone for
the telegraph in train dispatching is
progressing rapidly. The movement
has been accelerated greatly by the
passage and operation of the 9-hour
telegraph law.
Although the Northwest>-n road
now has telephone between Baraboo
and Chicago, no operators have as
yet been laid Off 1t is said that the
telegraph instruments will not be
taken out of the stations. The ia
stallatiOn of phone service has no
effect on the Madison office. On the
Milwaukee and west end divisions
trains are still being dispatched by
telegraph and regular operators
handle the phone messages on the
main line.
By October l, 122 additional miles
of telephone between Baraboo- and
Winona will be in operation, making
it possible to dispense with 60 teleg-
raphers if they should decline to
handle the telephone.
A telephone system on the Prairie
du CHEN division of the st. Pau
road between Milwaukee and Madison
was completed Saturday. The COM
pany will make an experiment with
the line and if it proves satisfactory
it will be used altogether for the dis
patching of trains. The telegraph
instruments will not be taken out of
the stations, however.
The phone system between Madison
and Portage has been abandoned for
the present and the trains on thar
line are being dispatched by teie-
graph. The telephone did not work
satisfactorily and the company in
tends to reconstruct it.
Dug Their Own Graves.
That the statement made by operat-
ing officials, when the 9-hour law
was pending in the legislature. to the
effect that the railway telegraphers
were digging their own graves was
not an idle threat, is soon by the
fact that four railroad systems in
chicago VIII SOOu nave u IOIdl VI
nearly 5000 miles of lines operated
by telephone systems. The NORTH
western, the Illinois Central the
Rock Island and the Burlington rail-
roads have in operation telephone
systems covering nearly 1,400 miles
of railroad.
These same railroads are preparing
to Install within the next two months
telephones for the operation Of more
than 1000 miles of additional road.
In addition to this work every rail
road in the United States is making
careful investigation of the subject
of train operation by telephone with
a view to installing the best system
possible. 1t is the purpose and
avOwed intention of each railroad 20
equip it's entire system with a tele-
phone operating plant as soon as it
can be conveniently done, and no
doubt the movement of the telegraph
ers union to secure better hours and
more pay has advanced the telephone
movement from ten to 20 years.

UNEASY DAY FOR
NEBRASKA BILL
SET AT REST BY RECORD ON
THE HILL iNJUNC-
TON BILL.

Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July IL
Influential eastern democrats notified
Mr. Bryan that in their opinion the
anti-injunction plank of the platform
adopted at Denver was hardly worth
the paper it was written on. The
reason alleged by them being the
David B. Hill bill, passed by the sen
ate, which is specifically endorsed by
the democrats, simply carried out the
common law provision granting a
jury trial in contempt cases, in the
jurisdiction of the presiding Judge"
The plank was drafted on the as
sumption that the Hill bill was
ed by Senator Allen of Nebraska to
make the trial by jury provision man
datory at the demand of the defend
ant. Mr.. Bryan spent several anx
ious hours after receiving this infor-
nation. The allegation that he and
a majority of the committee on reso-
lutions had been tricked caused him
to worry and he admitted that he was
to have an inquiry set on foot.
The Associated Press relieved his
suspense by explaining to him thar
advices from Washington showed that
the Hill bill, as finally adopted by the
senate in 1896, provided for summary
punishment by the court in direct con-
tempt cases, but making 1t mandd-
tory for the court to grant trial by
jury in all cases where such con-
tempt was committed outside of tha
jurisdiction of the court and where
such jury trial was demanded by the
accused. This was the Allen amend
ment and it cleared up what threat
ened to become an awkward situation
for the democratic candidate for t1n
presidency
Prohibs for Bryan.
The part that the prohibition ques-
ton will play in the campaign was
talked over between Bryan and Wiley
B. Phillips of Los Angeles, who is
returning from Columbus o., where
he was a delegate to the national
prohibition convention. Phillips SAID
number of prohibitionists would
vote for Bryan as against their own
candidate. He thought the prohibi-
ton movement would affect the vote
in close states and was unwilling TO
concede to Taft many Of these votes.
Farmers Helping Campaign.
The appeal Of Bryan to the farm
ers for campaign contributions Is
bearing fruit. Yesterday a number
enclosed varying in amount. An ap-
of responses were received, the sums
peal by Bryan to the democratic
newspapers Of the country to begin
the collection of funds for the cam
paign was one of the important hap
penings Of the day.

WHATS MATTER WITH MERCER?
Practicable Plan for Raising
Funds to Finance Bryan
Campaign.

whats the next county to raise
$1,000 for Bryan and Kern?" This Is
the slogan Of Col. John b. Thompson,
of HaTodsburg, Mercer county, who
has devised a plan to raise campaign
funds for the Democratic national
ticket.
Mercer has tOed the mark" he de-
clares. NOW nineteen other coun-
ties should do the same thing and
then we can send $4,000 in a lump
sum TO the National Commit ee."
While at national headquarters in
Chicago ire ether day, Col. Thomp-
son was asked for a suggestion as to
how campaign funds could be raised
81 can get $1,000 in my county" he
replied.
Jus. put Col. Thompson down for
$1,000" said Chairman Mack.
Col. Thompson lost no time in
catching the first train for Harrods-
burg. In about Gor,y-five minutes the
$1,000 was guaranteed by D. L, Moore,
$3.50; Judge w. c. Bell, $3.50; Charles
A. Hardin, 500; j. w. Davenport, $1OC;
Rodney w. Keenan,, 500; Cash, $780,
and Col. Thompson, $500.
Col. Thcmpsons plan contempla'es
chat a few Democrats in each county
guarantee the $1,000; then set organ
ization Democrats 10 work collecting
the money from individual voters
If all the 81 1000 Is collected then the
original gusrantors take down their
$1,000, retain $500 of It and' send the
remaining$500 to the Democratic State
Campaign Commit ee. If only hall
Of the 81 900 is collected the guaran-
tors must make good the $500 to
the National Campaign Committee anc
send $3.50 or half the money collected
TO the State Committee. This plan,
Col. Thompson says, means that every
county will give $1,000 to the nation
al fund and that in every instance
half the money collected in each coun'
ty is TO be paid by the guarantors
themselves into the treasury of the
State Campaign Committee. In this
way he seys $4,000 or $4,000 can be
raised for national headquarters and
$4,000 or $4,000 for Stale headquar-
,ers, He declares tha; what was done
in Mercer can be done without Difficult
ty in twenty or thirty other counties.

tary on the Democracy Of any county
If from four to ten men could
be found who would not go The secur-
ity of the countyIs Democracy for

MAMMOTH CAVE
To be Made Free-MOvement to
Convert Grounds Into
National Park.

Horse Cave, Ky, Aug. PA num-
Der of patriotic Kentuckians are cir
Culating an immense petition asking
Congress to turn the Mammoth Cave
Of Kentucky into q National pleasure
ground for the people Of the United
States. Under the terms Of the will
of the late George Croghan, who own
ed the Mammoth Cave, it was left to
his eleven nephews and nieces for
life, with instructions that after their
death the Cave is to be sold at public
auction to the highest bidder. Only a
few aged men and women of the
original eleven remain alive.
A petition to Congress is there
fore being prepared, asking that steps
be taken in the direction Of acquiring
Mammoth Cave and the land above it
Tor a National Park, free to all the
American people and their guests
from foreign shores.
The committee in charge Of the pc
tition has sent broadcast a request
that every one favoring the project
send a postal card bearing his name
and address to Burns w. Beall, Horse
Cave will no doubt always retain its
old prestige as one of the seven Won
will be added to the original petition,
and all the cards will accompany it
to Washington when the bill is in
troduced in the House. 1t is not eX-
pected that there will be any serious
opposition to the plan, and Mammoth
Cave will no doubt retain its old pres
tige as one of the seven wonders OF
the modern world.
