On the Rail


An innovation in the customary
methods Of railroad signal system has
recently been adopted in the yards of
the Washington Terminal company
by the installation of whistle signals
as an additional safeguard against ac-
cident F. P. Patenall, signal engineer
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
one of the owners of the terminal
company, says the Whistles are locat-
ed on the signal bridges across the
tracks. and are intended for use in
cases of emergency should any of the
other signals get out Of order. In the
event of this occurring, the engineer
receives his running instructions by
means of sharp whistle blasts, one
long blast, taking the place of red
light and indicating stop" to all
trains within the limits of the inter
locker. Two short blasts are a signal
for trains to back up. The whistles
are also used to call repairmen, four
short blasts being a call for them to
report at the tower.

sad it would be fair and it was fair,

CAN'T TAKE PENSION MONEY.
1t is Sacred to the Old Soldiers and
They Must Get It,

MarshalltOwn Ia, Oct. II An in
teresting situation has developed in
the Iowa soldiers home by the mott
fication at the headquarters of new
federal law compelling the payment Of
all pensions to the pensioners them
selves, instead of sending them to the
institution headquarters, and from
there disbursed to the pensioners ac-
cording to certain restrictions Of the
state law
The federal law and the present
Iowa law are conflicting and Com
mandant Horton finds himself facing
this proposition: He must violate
either one or the other, and if he dis
regards the federal, the state will lose
the federal support which amounts to
several thousands of dollars annual
ly.
Under the present state law the sol
diers' home handles the pension mon
ey disbursng it according 10 certain
rules. One Of these restrictions It's
that, in the event Of dependent rela-
LlFG5y usually WlNGo, OIG-uttll VI -
pensioners allowance every quarter
goes to the wife. This the home
officials have been in the habit Of do
ing. Another provision is in the
cases of members of the home who
have been disciplined for drunken
ness. Heretofore the cOmmandant
has withheld such pensioners allow
ance and given it to him only when
he thought best, and directed it's ex-
penditure. In other words, the in
tent Of the law was to prevent mem
Ter from squandering his pension
money.
Under the new federal law, how
ever, the commandant Of the institu
ton has nothing whatever to say re-
garding how a pensioner shall spend
his money Nor shall the home have
anything to do with the money a
pensioner will receive his own money,
through the mails, and he may do
what he pIeases with it. A depend
ent wife, if a pensioner so wills, may
go begging for her share of her hus-
bands pension allowance, unless the
husband sees fit to give it to her

BANKS SHOW GOOD
GAIN IN WISCONSIN
COMMISSIONER BERGH,S COMPi-
LATION INDICATES RETURN
ING PROSPERITY.

That prosperity is returning to Wis
consin is indicated by a compilation
of reports made by the 448 state banks
in Wisconsin to Commissioner OF
Banking NJ. c. Bergh In the period
between July Is and September 70
the business of these banks in
creased over $1,5O0,000. The largest
increase was in the time certificates
of deposit and in savings deposits.
These two items aggregating over
81, 100000. This indicates that more
money was put into the banks by the
small depositors. A decrease Of
$123, 900 in loans and discounts is ac-
counted for by the fact that much
more money is now being used by
business houses and consequently Is
not piled up in the banks and avail
able to be placed out on secured
loans. The report shows gratifying
tendency toward return of healthy
business conditions. The cash re-
serve In the banks is between "a and
Ok per cent, an increase of % per
cent.
