PosTPoNEs PASS REGULATIONS.
Commission Accedes to Requests OF
Many Railway Officials.

Kansas City Mo-, Nov. 14.-Recent
information from the interstate COM
merce commission is that the en-
forcement of a plan for a uniform
method of handling and issuing passes
has been postponed Indefinitely. 1t is
believed that the commission will not
require any observance of the rule be-
fore January 1, 1912.
The scheme was outlined by Henry
Adams, in charge of statistics and ac-
counts of the commission, in circular
issued June 80, last. The details of his
plan were sent subsequently to the Of
fcials of various roads with a sugges-
ton that proposals for alterations or
additions would be welcome. A num-
Der of criticisms were forwarded with
requests that the enforcement of the
rules be delayed in order that further
thought might be devoted to the sub
ject. The commission complied with
the requests.
The plan of the commission pre-
scribes twenty-one forms and numer-
GUS rules governing passes. 1t also
sets forth that there shall be kept a
record of all annual passes issued to
officers, agents, employees and their
families as well as of miscellaneous
passes. There also are provisions for
a record of passes issued by other
roads, the form of request for the
same and other details pertaining to
such transactions.
Railroad officials declare that the
provisions incorporated in the propos
ed rules will place an unreasonable
burden upon the companies. Many of
the western roads issue as many as
$4,000 passes annually, it is said, and
q large force of clerks is kept busy
for several weeks getting them ready
prior to the first of the year. The pro-
posed rules, it is declared. would re-
quire a substantial additional outlay
for clerical help in many railroad Of
fees

Particularly Good Quality.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. l4.-The
Gregg Grain company has received the

THIRD TRIP DESIRED
Motor Gar Service on Burlington
Would Then be Perfect.

The motor car which the Burling.
ton is operating between Oskaloosa
and Tracy is proving very popular
with shoppers and the travelling pub
lie. The car eliminates the disagree,
able delays at the Iowa Central trans.
fer and the Bolton station, common
to the accommodation train, and
gives patrons an extra connection at
Tracy not heretofore enjoyed.
The service is surely great limo.
walton, but if the Burlington people
would press the perfection button,
as it was hoped they would do, they
would have the car make another
round trip in the evening. At pres
ent people from Hamilton, Buxton,
Bussey and Abba are compelled to
leave Oskaloosa at five o'clock in the
afternoon and lay over three hours
before they can get a train home.
II the motor car could be sent Out
of Oskaloosa again about 8 o'clock
p. m. and make connection with the
Des Moines-Albia train, which goes
trough Tracy at $50, everything
would be fine and dandy and hun
dreds of people would rise up and
pronounce the Burlington peach.
This extra trip would not cost the
road much. as two men operate the
car, and we venture the assertion
that the car would be loaded both
ways. This trip would not only en-
able the people south of Tracy to get
home in fine shape, but 1t would af,
ford new and splendid route for
passengers returning from Das
Moines to Oskaloosa. BY this connec.
ton our people could stay in Des
Moines until almost eight o'clock and
be home at ten. AS matter of
business as well as accommodation.
there is no doubt the third trip
would be great winner for the rail.

successor there has already been
chosen.
Formal announcement of the en-.
gagement of Miss Patterson and Dr.

at valentine party at the home oil
the former. Several of the lady
friends were invited and entertained
at a spread which had all the ap.
pointments of valentine party and
also a number of very strong hints
about matches, coupled hearts, ETC..
but which not one of the guests took
seriously. Even the favors, bonbon

together with Cupid's dart, the
name of the prospective bride on one
heart and that OF the groom-to-be on
the other, failed to bring to their
comprehension the real significance
Of the occasion, until the explanation

Miss Patterson has been connected
with Monmouth college for eleven
years, coming here from Oskaloosa

FOR A GREATER BERLIN
Prussan Government Has Drawn Up
Measure to Combine Suburbs
and city.

Rerlin. Dec. >2---The Prussian gov
eminent has drawn up a bill COM
pelling Berlin and the suburban
municipalities to combine n Greater
Berlin. The population of the metro
politan area is close to 100000.
The measure provides for the ad-
ministration of the greater city on a
plan similar to that of. London, with
a county council, the authority Oh
which would be confined to matters
Of transportation, supervisory control
over building plans as to uniformity
or desirable architectural effect and
the acquisition of suburban lands for
permanent forest and meadow gir-
die about the whole
The council would have 100 mem
bers, about one-third of whom only
would be elected from the city OF
Berlin proper with three-fifths Of the
total population. This appointment Is
designed, probably, to limit the So
cialist Influence. The capital has
llong been vainly negotiating fer Q
greater municipal organization.
