WANT STUB TRAINS
Governor Hoch Gets Complaint From
Rock Island Passengers.

1t is possible that Governor Hoch
and the board of railroad commission
ers may take some action to compel
the Kansas railroads to maintain stub
trains when once the trains are start
ed and that passengers taken aboard
these stub trains must be carried until
they reach connections with regular
trains. 1t is also probable that the
next legislature will be asked to pass
law requiring all railroads to run
extra trains when passenger trains are
over two hours late. Oklahoma now
has a law of this kind and the observ-
ance Of it and the fact that Kansas
had no such law is the cause Of the
filing of long petition with Governor
Hoch.
One of the trains of the Chicago.
Rock Island & Pacific railroad was
three hours late through Oklahoma
Monday night. A stub train was run
from Chickasha north, gathering up
At Caldwell. just across the Oklahoma
line and far enough into Kansas to
prevent the operation of the Oklahoma
law and where there was no law COM
polling the railroad to continue the
train the passengers were dumped out
second section. three hours late
The passengers waited all right 1t
was all they could do but while waiting
they drew a petition to Governor Hoch.
The petition recites that the passen-
gers were not told that the stub would
not go farther than Caldwell, that
some of the passengers took it expect
ing to make connection with trains at
other points when they could have
made connections by leaving their
home towns over some other route. 1t
is also shown that the Caldwell depot
Y10OrIv lighted that w
drinking water and that some of the
children on the train actually suffered
from thirst.
All of the passengers, forty-two,
signed the petition to Governor Hoch
asking that If possible the governor
take steps to relieve this condition.
The governor is unable to do anything
but the petition will be turned over to
the railroad commissioners and the
board may take some action.

New York. June 25.-Captain T. A.
Baldwin announces that the trial trips
of his new dirigible balloon. the first
to be built for the government, will
be made at Fort Myer, near Washing

several trips during the test under d.
rection of Brigadier General James
Allen. the chief signal officer.
The two spherical balloons ordered
from Captain Baldwin by the govern
ment will be delivered in Washington
at about the same time. The dirigibfe
balloon Is made of the new vulcanized
proof material. which Is several times
stronger than the Japanese oiled silk
commonly used. 1t is made of thick
ness of seven coats of rubber and two
thicknesSes of silk.

country of this material" said Captain
Baldwin, land am certain Of its great
advantage over the other"
Captain Baldwin says he is working
now on a preparation with which he
will shortly experiment in a new BAR
loon.
This new preparation he said,
will be used in connection with the
balloon varnish and will give the ball
loon a silver color. 1t will radiate the
heat of the balloon and relieves its
contraction and expansion ana saves
20 per cent of the gas. By economic

Persian Priest Ministers to Flock La
Chicago.

Chicago, June 25.-In order to ad'
minister the sacraments of their rehg'
ion to a devout little band OF Foreign
ers the Rev. Peter Elyah OF truman
Persia. has come to Chicago. Father
Elyah is the first Roman Catholic FER
sian priest who ever visited the Uni
ted States he says. His coming, now
ever. hardly can be called a visit; fol
he homes to become an American citi-
zen and live the rest of his life In this
country.
There are about 600 Persians In Chi
cago, about 100 of whom are Catholics
The same proportion holds good in most
of the large cities of the country. The
Persians find it extremel-- difficult to
learn English and as a result only an
occasional one can make himself I'M
derstood to any one but a fellow coun-
tryman. Because of this fact, the Per-
sian Catholics of Chicago have been
unable to have their concessions heard
or to receive communion.
This caused them to send to Persia
last summer for native priest. Father
Elyah answered their call and now has
all the Persians in the United States
as his parishioners. He will leave the
city in a few days for the east, where
he will visit all the large cities. ad-
ministering the sacraments to the scat
tered members of his flock. He will
then return to Chicago and attempt
to establish a permanent church here.
During his stay in this city he has
been saying mass at little chapel at
the Church of the Assumption. Illinois
and Franklin streets. This is an Itai-
ian church in. charge of the Servite
fathers. Father Elyah celebrated &C
cording to Oriental customs-that IL the
service is In Chaldean instead OF Latin.

Ancestry of Marquis Ikeda Traced
Back 1000 Years.

New York, June 25.-Among those
who sailed on the Mauretania for Liv-
erpool, was a member of the japanese
royalty, Marquis Nakahiro Ikeda, who
can boast of an ancestry running back
more than 1000 years. He is the son
of Prince Keiki Tokugawa, the last of
the Shoguns, under whom the Japanese
enjoyed uninterrupted peace for three
centuries up till 40 years ago, when the
present emperor assembled the throne.
Marquis Ikeda is 80 years old and Is
making a round-the-worId trip for his
health. He is one of the richest young
men of Japan. Accompanying him is
Tosaku Ihara, director of the Japanese
Times, the only English daily publish
ed in Toxic, and the marquis family
physician, DR.. Seizo Kitamura.
The marquis is much interested In
promoting aeronautics in his country
for military purposes and was much
impressed by the interest this govern
ment is taking in balloon experiments.
ct think Japan is behind other ma
lions in taking up aeronautics," he
said Our government is deeply inter-
ested and I believe from now on the
Japanese government will do much
along this line"
Commenting on this country, Marquis
Ikeda said:
your country has the handsomest
women, the tallest buildings and the
greatest activity of any country 1 ever
visited

A cubic foot of water is equal to
about ~ gallons.
The new schedule as prepared above
will be submitted to the committee OF
waterworks of the council this evening
| by the board of trustees Of the council
for it's approval. 1t will then be sub
mitted to the council at the next reg
ular meeting which will be on July
| for the approval Of that body. If the
schedule secures the endorsement OF

board of trustees it will go into effect

ty per cent-this is the way the reduc-
ton Of the new rates for water figure
out.
Because of the inequality of the old
rate it was impossible to figure on a
straight percentage of reduction all
along the line. From now on when
we make a cut we can make it uni
form to all classes of consumers for
we have figured out more nearly upon
an equable basis" said Jesse Shaw,
superintendent of the waterworks de-
partment. 1.-The old rate was unjust
and have always maintained it. But
ii was the best that we could work
out at the time. 1t has taken months
almost to figure out this new rate so
that 1t would not work an injustice to
anyone. But here are some of the
| things that existed under this old
schedule. Here is man using 1900
cubic feet ana hts bill under the old
rate is $3.50, when he uses 5000
cubic feet 1t is 5000 but IL he uses
200 cubic feet more 1t would be only
$1S.45 because the rate was figured
to give some advantage to the larger
L Z -
| was too much for the consumer
could waste 1000 cubic feet by let
| ting his water run into the sewer and
still not have 50 large bill as If he
had actually used but 1900 cubic
feet. This thing. however, doesn't
exist in the new schedule"
The larger consumer still receives
| the benefit Of a larger rate the more
water he uses, but he can't waste
| water and have a bill smaller than If
he had not used so much. His rate is
| less, but his bill for more water at
the end of the month is proportionate-
| ly more. All consumers on the first
| thousand cubic feet pay the straight
rate of As cents per 1000 gallons, the
next thousand they get Is 40 cents and
so on This would mean that If a
man used 1900 gallons Of water in a
year his bill would amount to S3.3S
and II he used 5000 gallons $6.3S.
1--WE could not afford to give much
| of a reduction to the very large con-
sumers for the rate which they have
already Is right close to the actual
cost of pumpage and to give them q
ten per cent reduction would result
| in us furnishing water at actual cost
and a little below so that we had to
scale down on the percentage of re-
duction in this class" said c. E. Jewell
of the board of trustees.
| To the majority of the consumers
the reduction will probably average
close to ten per cent.
| Further cutting in the prices OF
water will follow just as soon as the
trustees have built up the property
and a surplus that will warrant such
an act.

FOUND BADLY CORRODED.
Railing Which Once Surrounded
Statue of George III.

New York. June 25.-That vener-
able iron railing at Bowling Green
from the posts of which the patriots,
before the revolution knocked the
knobs in semblance of crowns, was
found when the first painting which
it has received for many years was be-
gun, to be badly corroded. The bar
rier once surrounded the leaden
statue Of George III, which was cast
down by the early Americans and then
converted into bullets for use. on the
British.
The present railing Is said to have
been set up $50 years ago. Painters
found in scraping the surface for a
coat of red lead that many of the
pickets had been almost eaten through
by time. The removal of the rust and
oxidation leaves the old bars in a
rather irregular form.
