FREE PASSES MAY BE GIVEN
To Former Employees En- Route to
Return to Service

Washington, Oct. 28.-Free passes
may be issued to bona fide ex-employes
of a railroad who are travelling to re-
enter the railroad service. Passes can
not be extended to the families of en-
ployeS, who died natural death
while in the service of common car
riers, though that privilege is accorded
to families of employees killed in the
service. These are among the rulings
announced by the interstate commerce
commission today.
The commission holds that rail-
road may provide in its tariffs that
whenever, because of washouts or
other accidents, passengers are delay
to curtail their stop over privileges,
the conductor or other agent may by
endorsement on the ticket extend the
time to cover such time.
This is to be honored by succeeding
conductors on the company's lines but
no carrier can provide such extension
over lines other than its own, except
when provided in a proper joint tariff.
The commission also has authorized
changing (by not over thirty days) the
terms of short time excursion fare
tariffs under certain conditions When
the excursion is limited to not more
than three days, changes to be posted
one day in advance in two public
places for these reasons:
Changes of dates or meeting, ex-
tension of the return limit, additional
selling dates. additional stop over
privileges, etc. If the excursion is
limited to between three and thirty
days, cancellation of tariff or change
in it's terms may be made on like no.
tice of three days.

AMEND COMMISSION LAW.
Nebraska Legislature Asked to Make
Many Changes.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2S.-The next
Nebraska legislature, regardless of its
political complexion, will be asked to
make changes in the law creating the
state railway commission. The law
enacted two years ago was under Re-
publican auspices. and while it has
been criticised and was opposed by
some of the Democratic members. has
stood the test Of constitutionality be-
fore the supreme court and is now ac-
cepted as a wise piece of legislation.
1t was strongly opposed by the rail-
roads, who claimed that it was full
of defects and would impose burdens
on the carriers not contemplated by
even the trainers.
The state railway commission,
which is made up of Hudson j. Win
nett as chairman, Henry T. Clarke,
jr., and Joseph A. Williams, the latter
candidate for rejection itself
recommends some changes, and in its
annual report, which will soon be pre-
sented to Gov. Sheldon, points out
changes 1t regards as necessary to
make the law more effective. The
commission says a few minor correc-
tions will remove any objections thus
far developed to the law as it now
stands, and recommends that all
moneys received in the form of fees
for transcripts be appropriated by the
commission for it's use in conducting
the department.
The Topeka state journal., 1908-10-28

A start in this direction has been
made with the New York Central
lines. The department has served
notice upon the management of the
New York Central and Lake Shore
roads that if they do not desire to ac-
cept pay upon the basis of the short
line mileage between New York and
Chicago, then the large mail tonnage
which is now carried by those roads
will be turned over to the Pennsyl-
vania. The order states that the new
basis shall date from the last re-
weighing of the mails, which was
July, 1907.
To comply with the demand of the
government will cost the railroads
named at least $225,000 every four
year period between the reweighing of
the mails. The New York Central
lines management has not decided
what it will do but it is not likely
that it will permit these roads to lose
the prestige which they have had for
years as the fast transcontinental
mail route.

COULD FIND NO WORK.
Sorrowful Condition of a Starving Chi
cagO Family of Four.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Huddled together in
a water-soaked hut of straw and sticks
in the desolate region on the banks of
the old Illinois and Michigan canal a
family of four was discovered last night
suffering from hunger and exposure.
The hut is situated three miles north of
Lemont, between the tracks of the San
ia Fe road and the pile of broken rock
which skirts the canal
Every member of the family was
clothed in rags. The older of the two
children-a girl of years-was prac-
tically naked. She moved restlessly on
the wet pile of straw upon which she
tried to sleep. Her body was covered
only by the rags of what once was an
overcoat.
The mother elapsed a baby to her
breast. Hungry as she was and cold,
the mother asked only for milk that
she might feed the baby, which cried
pitifully and shivered in the damp air.
Early yesterday morning some one
telephoned to the Chicago bureau of
charity and reported that a family was
hving-or starving, to be exact-at the
point mentioned.
The case was at once reported to
Charles Kruck, supervisor of Stickney
township, in which the place is located.
The man gave his name as Jacob
Brunsky.
He said that he was Polish and that
with his family he had been in this
country but four years. In broken Eng

IGNORE TEXAS BOARD.
Roads Continue Exclusive Contract
for Express Business.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 2S.-Despite
the fact that the Texas railroad com
mission will not approve the contracts
of the railroads and the express COM
panies, which are made in violation
of the Texas antitrust laws, the
roads and the express companies
continue to do business in the same
old way. The commission charges
that for a railroad to make an ex-
elusive contract with any one ex-
press company to operate over its
line is a violation of the antitrust
laws Charges had been made against
every railroad and express company
operating in the state some time ago,
but before the cases were finally dis
posed of by the courts, a compromise
was effected through the attorney
generals office whereby the roads
paid a $4,000 penalty.
The railroads and express COM
panies continue, however, to operate
under the same methods. A large
number of these contracts have just
been renewed, and while the railroad
commission has refused to approve
them, as the law requires, no attention
has been paid to the commissions
ruling The railroads merely answered
that it is impossible for two or more
express companies to operate over any
one railroad system. The roads get
so per cent of the gross receipts and
furnish the cars and haul them.
