Romance of Nellie Bly, Spe-
cial Told at Hearing.
SLOW TRAINS ON BETTER ROADS
Union Pacific Official Explains the

quake Interfered with Time Table.

New York, Feb 24.-The difference be
tween the theory and practice Of operat-
ing railroad trains was gone into at
length to-day az the hearing In the gov
ernments suit to dissolve the so-called
Hartman merger, when w. L. Park, SUI
perintendent of the Union Pacific al
Omaha. gave reasons for the lengthening
of train schedules. He told Of a fast
freight. the Nellie Bly, Special, which ran
between Council Bluffs and Oregon in
1897
This train. he said, was put on during
a war with the Oregon Short Line. It ran
on a thirty-two hour schedule for about
two months, and then was placed on a
fifty-three-hour schedule He explained
that to make the original time laid down
for the Nellie BLY, # had been necessary
to sidetrack other freight trains and
many passenger trains He explained
too, that the movements of freight
trsins-and in fact, owl trains-were
greatly retarded by the work on better
ments ordered after the late Z. H. Harri-
man secured control
Slow Trains on Better Roads.
Mr. Severance, of counsel for the gov
eminent. cross-examined Mr.. Park In an
effort to find out why the Overland Lin
tied, the crack train of tina Union Pacific,
had heightened its schedule since 1907 He
pointed out that the time of this train
between Omaha and Ogden was between
thirty TO thirty-one hours between 190C
and 1907, and that 1t had been increased
10 thirty-three hours. unless last Sun
day, when it was reduced to thirty hours
and fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Park was unable to say at whose
orders the recent cutting down OF the
schedule had been made. He explained
that the building Of new bridges and lay
ing of ballast had made It necessary to
issue many slow orders Of recent years
and that this had more than made Ut
for the gain in time due TO the shorten
ing Of the line. the elimination of curves
&c.
Mr.. Severance pointed out that The
time of the fast mail. the train which
carries the heaviest mail I'm the country
had also been shortened since last SIM
day Mr.. Park couldn't tell why and
Mr.. Severance said:

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald.

SPECIAL 10 The Washington Herald.
Richmond, Va, Feb. 24-The house
committee on agriculture and mining this
afternoon decided to report unfavorably
the bill TO establish a united agricultural
board. The action of the committee is
regarded as a direct slap at the COVER
nor, for 1t is the only measure pending
which he has championed in any way,
The object of the bill is simply to CO.
ordinate all branches of agricultural work
in Virginia under one board, headed by
the governor.
The senate refused to send the Strobe
Statewide bin to the finance committee
One of the important bills which got
by the house without objection was that
creating a board other than the Supreme
Court to examine applicants for the prac-
tice Of law
The joint committee appointed to con-
fer with officials OF the Richmond. Fred
ericksburg and Potomac Railroad, with
regard TO the surrender Of the charter
of that road, asked for further time for
consultation. II was granted.
Automobiles occupied most OF the time
in the senate. A great many amend
ments were offered and. discussed. but no
vote was reached. One change agreed
to. however. was that the receipts from
this tax are to go into the general road
funds of the state for the improvement
Of public highways. instead of into the
State treasury. No effort was made "a
change the rates OF taxation on auto
cars.

Alliance Turned Down.

proposition to seek alliance with the
District OF Columbia Kennel Club was
discouraged by Mr.. Jones. with the state
ment that he had been unable TO OBJ
tain any encouragement from members Of
that organization.
II was accordingly decided to organize
a new club. to be called the Washington
Kennel Club. and to seek independent
recognition from the American Kennel
Association.
Replying to a statement that a dog
show could not be expected TO pay ex-
penses, c. H. L. Johnston said that the
last dog show held In this city would
have paved, but the treasurer jumped out
Or. French stated that those organizing
the club did not have much TO loose II
the show failed.
An organization was accordingly ef-
fected with Dr. French az temporary
chairman and H. D. Newcomb as tenn
porary secretary. AS It was essential
that the collection OF the guarantee fund
should proceed with dispatch. and the
treasurer had to be bonded, it was de-
cided that c. Fl. L. Johnston should be
permanent treasurer.
A committee composed Of Messrs
Schmidt. Evans. and Johnston was
named to draft a constitution and by
laws, while the executive committee that
will have entire charge Of the arrange
ments for the show will consist OF
Messrs. French. Johnston. Evans, Con.
roy. and another member yet to be Sc
lected.
Contributions amounting to s1,000 were
announced as follows: John r. Mclean

Bennington. Kan, Aug. 15.-The
Union Pacific excursion train to

had ample time to escape no one was
injured. The wreck resulted from

FOR THE FOURTH.

In stress of war, our fathers died
To give this land of freedom birth.
Though anguish left them heavy-eyed
Our mothers bore the loss with pride:
But only children yet to be
Shall know this nations fullest worth
And we who love her fields of wheat
Her corn-clad prairies and her hills
By giant fingers ranged, her sweet
Untainted streams-how can we meet
Her need today, when each warm heart
To fight her later battles thrills?
Not for us all the hero's grave
Flag wrapped. the bullets bloody way
OF service; yet for those who crave
A chance to serve-she needs the brave
Who guard her honor by each act
And by their lives make proud her day
