This suggestion first was mace ten

certain railroads. 1t is said on gooo
authority, however, that the trials nave
been postponed indefinitely.
The Salt Lake route was 70 nay :

plan was abandoned after announce

Pullman coach weighs 40 per cent more
and costs twice as much. In view OF
thees circumstances officials believed
that it would be only fair to charge
s or 10 per cent more for passengers
riding in Pullmans. However, 1t was
rot believed, feasible unless the roaos
would make concerted action in TINS re-
gard.
Railroad officials believe, however
that something must be done in the
matter Each carrier has different
contract with the Pullman company.
Many of the contracts 1t is said, wholly
favor the Pullman company, so that all
the revenue the railroads derive is the
railroad fare of Pullman passengers,
getting nothing for the additional cost
cntailed by transporting the sleepers.
The point on which the question
hinges seems to be that passengers In
coaches are not to be rated as second
class, since they pay f1rst-class fares
the same as passengers in the Pullmans,
the latter paying the Pullman COM
pany for the privilege of occupying a
berth or an upholstered revolving chair.
The Pullman company long has taken
to itself certain PRIVILEGES which are
now being attacked by the commits
sion, and which eventually may be re-
moved. At least. not until these points
are settled does it seem probable that
the railroads will attempt excess fares.

The sultan comes with the avowed
intention of adding to his harem OF
IA wives a beautiful American girl for
his fifteenth bride, who will share one
fifteenth of the honor of being the
queen of Zulu land.
True the sultan's idea of accepta-
bility may be a trifle captious, and
balk a little at being the fifteenth wife.
but the possibilities for frenzied fl
nance are none the less obvious.
The sultan's mission to America,
however. is two-fold. He is a consist
emit conserver of time and other re-
sources. He has to be. with IA wives
dependent upon him. He is looking
for a fifteenth wife, but he is just as
earnestly seeking an increase in his
pension which is now but $125 a
month With IA helpmeets to divide
his S125 among, even the sultan has
some trouble making both ends meet.
The sultan raised the $4,000 from
his ancestral estates. Wives are his ex-
travagance. He paid $4,000 for one
English girl, who lives at Singapore.
His fondness for American women
dates from the time President Taft
and his party visited Jolo. In the
party was Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, to
whom the susceptible sultan immedi-
ately proposed marriage. He gave her

Citation, also told of his intention to
leave no stone unturned in seeking an
increase to his pension.
The IA wives know as well as he
that high cost of living has its effects
on loin cloths and betal nuts, which
are as necessary in the sultan's country
as bread and cheese are here, and
each knows that if her liege lord is not
successful at Washington, that her
monthly allowance will shrink from
$3.50 to $3.50, which Is almost pal
pably too small to support a mon
arch's family in regal style, though
most of his wives wear naught but
reeds Still, on his 1925 he has found

NEW SERVICE ON ROCK ISLAND
New Train Salina to Wichita-Another
Omaha to Oklahoma City.

Omaha to Oklahoma City.
Wichita, Kna., Aug. 1.-THE Rock
Island railway expects to have in oper-
alton a new passenger train through
wichita or into Wichita from the
north before the snow flies The off
Gals of the Rock Island have been
talking of a new train for some time
and lust now the additional passenger
service seems to be a certainty.
Two propositions are being consid-
cred by the officials and will be fea-
tured in the time card meeting that is
to be held soon. One of these is to
establish an entirely new train from
Salina to Wichita and the other is to
extend an Omaha train from McFar-
land, it's present southern terminus, to
Oklahoma City.
This latter proposition has been dis
cussed by railway men for the past
three months. The Rock Island officials
at Oklahoma City have been eager for
the extension of this train and Wich-
tia has felt the need of additional pas
senger service. All Rock Island trains
through Wichita are crowded. This is
especially true of No. 2 8, arriving here
at 6:1O a. m. from the east and No.
"a. arriving at 1925 p. m. from the
south.
The Omaha train which now stops
at Mcfarland, carries several through
cars for the south which are given to
No. %. This traffic is getting to be so
heavy that an additional train is al
most a necessity. The same is true of
No. "a, which carries through coaches

NEGLECTED PAY CHECK CAsHED

Years Old.

"Is there anyone on the payroll at
present who is opulent enough to be
able to stow away the pay check he
gets today and leave it undisturbed for
thirty-one years-even forgetting to
cash it before he dies ?" says the Santa
Fe Employees magazine.
yet there recently appeared for
payment at the office of the cashier
and paymaster in Chicago a check
drawn on June 20, 1879. in favor of
from Fred E. Brady of Antioch, Ill,
a son of H. r. Brady, stating that, in
looking over his late fathers effects,
he had come across it among some pa
pers and asking if it could be cashed.

it cashed was accidental. Although

TWO ADDITIONAL CLASSES.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio and
Indiana Want Better Classification.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-Railroad COM
missions of Wisconsin, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Ohio and Indiana, after a series
of meetings in Chicago, have an
nounced a movement to induce the
railroads of official classification terri
tory, which includes the district east
of the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio, to add two classes to their freight
classification. At present there are
only six sets of class rates, whereas in
other territory there are several addi-
tional classes.
The purpose of the movement is to
differentiate more clearly between the
classes and avoid frequent disputes as
to the classification of shipments which
