SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. L.
General Franklin Bell, chief of
staff of the United States army,
administered q lecture to two ma
val officers who tried to grab
seats in the dining car on the
Southern Pacific No. 13 from
Portland ahead of two young
women this morning.
In addition General Bell told
the dining car conductor few
things regarding his duties when
the official threatened to throw
the general out of the car.
Both naval officers refused to
give their names, but one is
known to be a member Of a prom
inent family of. Washington, D. G.
General Bell was standing near
the entrance to the dining car
alone with a score of people wait
ing their turn to get breakfast.
Two young men pushed them
selve sahead of everyone from the
back of the line and started down
the aisle of the dining car. Gen-
eral Bell informed those in the
line that he would be back In a
minute and went after the intrud
ers. He told them that the two
vacant seats in the car belonged
to two young ladies who had been
waiting their turn. The naval Of
ficers looked sheepish and the din
ing car conductor hustled up to
ascertain the cause of the discus
sion.
"I'm running this car" he told
General Bell, land l will attend to
these things"
"These two hogs are trying to
grab seats which do not belong
to them, and l intend to see that
they do not do it," explained Gen
eral Bell.
eff you interfere any more I
will have the conductor stop the
train and put you off," the dining
car conductor is quoted to have
said.
"That would be very satisfac-
tory to me-" stated the army man.
II am General Bell, chief of staff
United States army, and it would
please me very much to be put
off this train"
The conductor made number
of profuse apologies, after which
General Bell told him that he
should be courteous to every pas
senger.
