Central Has Trains Ready and
Unable to Clear Terminal
Yards For Want OF Men
EXTRA READY, NO DRIVER
With Impatient Steed Putting Away
in Yards, Master Mechanic Feeley
Appeals to Engineer Here on Visit
as Only Man Available to Take the
Train-Request is Complied With.

Railroads of the state are seeing the
effects of the sixteen hour law, ana
every day some contingency arises In
this city and other terminals to prevent
the wheels moving when ready be-
cause the engine and trainmen have
not had the required amount of rest.
Last night a heavily loaded extra,
with engine under steam and impa-
tiently awaiting some one to run 1t,
could not be sent out for the north
from the local yards for want of an
engineer.
The sixteen hour law requires that
trainmen who have been on duty six
teen hours must have ten hours rest.
AS 1t happened last night this train
was ready and there was no engineer
on the board who had had the suffl-
cient amount of rest after making his
last run. The completion of the rest
time Of the first man out would not
have been reached until between s
and o'clock, and it was imperative
that the Marshalltown yard be cleared
in order to make room for incoming
freights from the south.
Master Mechanic Feeley and General
Foreman John F. Killeen, Of the shops.
were at their wits end. They We're
discussing the situation at the union
station as No. 2, the south-bound
passenger, was about to pull out. They
tried to think of some passenger engi-
neer who might be available, but al
ready there were two out on freight
runs as a matter of accommodation
to the road. AS the officials We're
talking Engineer James Il. Elder, OF
Oskaloosa, who had been in the city
for the day on business, was spied as
he was about to board the train for his
home. Master Mechanic Feeley hast
lily explained the situation, and APP
pealed to him as a favor to the COM
pany to accept the run on the extra
to Mason City. The fireman was in
the cab, the trainmen were on duty,
but there was no engineer Mr.. Elder
promptly accepted, and Mr. killeen
went hurrying away for suit of over
alls for the engineer to don. The
train got under way shortly after 6
O'Clock, or from two and one-llalf to
three hours earlier than had not Mr..
Elder consented to take the run.

Even Tho Large Petition is
Sent to President Thru Sem
ator Allison
THE LAW is SAID TO BE PLAIN
Sum Of Between $500 and $500, Paid
BY Homo Members for Box Rents at
Sub Station, Will Probably Have to
Be Returned to Government-Hor-
ton 10 Indignant.

1t looks very much as tho Miss Lulu
home sub-station, would be compelled
to pay back to the government a sum
aggregating between $500 and $500,
representing the amount paid into her
office by home members as box rents.
For several years, or when an &C
commodation postoffice was main
tanned at the home, improvised boxes
were furnished by the state, and the
members who desired paid 10 cents a
postmaster. Then the government made
the home sub station, and the prac-
tice was continued. During the five
years Miss Walker has been postmis-
tress at the home no question ever
arose but that the custom was permits
sable, until an inspector discovered the
technical irregularity last September
Postmaster Smith was then Instructed
that he would be held for the box
rents from the sub-station during his
incumbency, and that ex-Postmaster
Saint would be looked to for the mon
ey accommodating during his term,
which included practically all of Miss
Walkers incumbency. Since october l
the box rents have been turned in as
in other postoffices, and final ruling
has been awaited as to the back rents
already collected.
Send Monster Petition.
Senator Allison was appealed to on
behalf of Miss Walker by members or
the home and friends In this city, who
sent In two petitions. The one at the
home was signed by over 600, and that
in the city bore the signatures of more
than 200. Both asked that the, order
directing Miss Walker to refund the
money be rescinded. Commandant
Horton also wrote Congressman Cous-
ms, and the senator and representative
have just taken the matter up with
President Roosevelt. The law Is de-
clared plain by the president, and II
is announced from Washington that
there seems no way out of the ditficul-
ty excepting that Miss Walker REIN
burse the government. No blame what
ever is attached to the postmisfress,
and the Iowa delegation, while not be-
ing able to remedy matters, feels that
the departments ruling is at least un-
fortunate.
Horton is Indignant.
Commandant Horton said today that
the ruling was a shame government or
no government. The state has fur-
nished the sub-station in its entlrety'
It's maintenance costs the government
nothing excepting the small salary
paid the postmistress, as there is no
rent to pay. and no light or heat to
furnish. The commandant believes
that, under these circumstances. where
an office is costing the government lit
tie or nothing, that ruling on such
small matter should not be so teen
meal.
