GET QUICK ACTION.
Newly Enfranclhsed Seattle Women
Can Vote in December.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 12.-The Public
Welfare league, which is in charge of
the recall movement against Mayer
Hiram c. Gill, is counting on the newly
enfranchised women voting in the re-
call election. The women will be quail
fled voters as soon as Governor Hay
announces the result of the vote as
certified t. him by the secretary of
state.
The Welfare leagues plan is to have
the lection late in December. Under
the law ten days will be provided for
registration of new voters, and the
women may then place their names on
the roll. The league thinks that a
moral issue such as is presented by
the effort to suppress vice and gam
bling will cause large numbers of the
women to vote for the leagues candi-
date.

SCHOOL FOR RAILROAD MEN.
University of Illinois Establishes a
Unique Course.

Champaign, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-Future rail-
road presidents may graduate from the
University Of Illinois instead of the
ranks. as did many of a party of 30
presidents, vice presidents and general
managers, superintendents and engi-
neering officers, which visited the state
institution today. The visiting execu-
tives came by special train from Chi
cago to inspect the university and to
consider the feasibility of establishing
a complete and systematic course OF
work, leading to- the profession of rail-
reading, a department of railway ad-
ministration and science that can sup
ply efficient me" whenever needed.
F. A. Delano. president Of the Wa
bash, w. L. Park. vice president and
general manager of the Illinois Central.
and a. H. Ashton, vice president OF
the Northwestern, were among the Of
ficials VINO were deeply interested in the
mechanical department where they saw
the college man in overalls industri-
ously working over lathes. The Chi
cagoans came in response to an fnv1-
tation extended by Dean Goss of the
college of engineering at a luncheon
at the Union League club. While the
railway school is of chief interest the
assistance of the officials was asked to
aid in securing q transportation labora-
tory. The need of additional facilities
for testing rails. airbrake equipments
and fittings and fixtures of every sort
in car construction was pointed out.

buried since Mr.. Barnes made his first
trip-and the first trip that was ever
made by a Pullman conductor and a
Pullman car.
It was in 1858. The first attempt at
sleeping car construction was made at
this time in Bloomington, Illinois,
when q car was built for sleeping pur-
poses and the maiden trip was plan
the Chicago, & Alton railway.
Dressed in blue with brass buttons
and a. cap to match MI. Barnes sat
watch over the half score passengers
who risked a nights rest to take or
their shoes, their hat, coat ana collar
to bump against the hard sides OF the
first berth of a Pullman car.
That was a great trip and not until
you pry into the depths of the memory
of the veteran superintendent VIII he
tell you of that wonderful ride from
Bloomington to Chicago.
And that car!
People who find it necessary to take
an upper berth in the modern Pullman
palace on wheels and dare kick on
their unfortunate circumstances will
please imagine a short, single trueked,
wooden bouncy Garland their bodies
perched high up in its sides keeping
time with the rail joints by the thump-
ing of their heads against the four cor
ners of their hard berth.
Mr.. Barnes made many trips with
this car-and he lives to tell the tale.

Barnes the other day.

''They bought you, did they-how
did the Santa Fe buy-I mean did they
offer you larger"
