RAILROAD NEWS

1t is probable that the Illinois rail-
road and warehouse commission may
order IS per cent of cars on every
train in the state to be equipped with
air brakes. In addition to the national
law, there is statute in Illinois which
requires all railroad trains, freight as
we'll as passenger, to be equipped with
air brakes and automatic couplers The
act merely says that there shall be
sufficient cars equipped to control the
train, the actual percentage being lefl
to the commission. Railroad men. it
is said, that is, those in the train SER
vice, have asked the comomission to
increase the percentage required, max
ing it as high as rs per cent equipped.
1t is said that so per cent air brakes on
a long freight train is not sufficient
for absolute control, and that there
must be considerable manual work on
the part of the brakemen- There is a
counter opinion among railroad men
that 25 or 80 per cent of the cars in
any freight trains equipped with air
brakes is enough to control. The Ques-
ton comes up in long trains, where
the momentum attained will not allow
strong grip on the speed with only
Is to so per cent air equipment, It Is
stated. The railroad and warehouse
commission has sent circular letters to
the heads of the different roads In the
state, calling their attention to hear
ing that the commission VIII have IN
Springfield Oct. 4. Under the provi-
sions of the act, more fu1lyAto carry It
into effect, the railroad and warehouse
commission is authorized from time to
time, after a full hearing, to increase
the percentage of cars In anytrain re-
quired to be operated as above stated.
failure on the part of the railroad COM
panies to comply with the require
ments OF the board will subject them
to the penalties prescribed in the act.

VETERANS DAY
AT ALEDO FAIR
Soldiers and Sailors Guests
of the Management and
Hear Wayman Speak.
THOUSANDS VISIT GROUNDS
Exhibits This Year More Complete
Than Ever Before, Showing of
Swine Being Leader.

Aledo, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-(SpeciaL)-
This is soldiers and sailors day at
the Mercer county fair, and practical.
ly every veteran in either branch of
the service in Mercer county, with
many from outside, is in the city The
feature of the day was the address at
10 o'clock this morning by States At
torney Wayman of Chicago on SOL
diers In Time of War and In Time of
Peace"
Music by the Oquawka martial band
helped recall to the soldiers of the COS
the stirring times of those days, the
old tunes familiar in camp and on the
march being played again and again.
The veterans are guests of the man
agement of the fair, being admitted to
the grounds and the various attrac-
tons there free of charge.
Thousands of visitors from the sur
rounding country are here for the fair.
The Burlington ran special trains from
the east and west and the Rock Island
Southern brought in hundreds over its
new line completed only last week.
Trains are being run to meet these on
the main line each way at Gilchrist,
and the service has enabled many to
attend the fair who would not other
wise have been present The main
part of the crowd, however, drove here
by horse and auto.
Best Ever Held.
The fair is without doubt the most
complete ever held in the county. The
swine exhibit, in which the local fair
always excels, is larger than in the
past, while there is a noticeable in
crease in the number of other farm an
imals, particularly horses, on exhibit,
ton. In the farm produce department
the fertility of Mercer county fields is
we'll, exemplified in the showing of
grains, vegetables, etc.
Outside of the exhibits the races are
the biggest attraction and an unusually
promising list of entries has been Sc
cured Tomorrow will be the big day
of the week, and it is expected that the
attendance record will be broken.

CAUSED MUCH EXCITEMENT
When an Ammunition Lighter Caught
Fire Oh New York

New York. July 27.-Intense excite.
ment prevailed for time a the Brook
Iyn navy yard yesterday when an am
munition lighter which was berthed
alongside the supply ship Culgoa, caught
fire from some unknown cause, and was
destroyed almost completely, together
with her ammunition, after being towed
out in midstream. The Cuigoa was on
IL slightly damaged The ammunition
which was in the form Of powder, flashed
up and burned, but being in lnsealed
cans did not explode
When the Are broke out the blue
Jackets in the yards were rushed into
service as fire fighters. They we're very
busy for few moments and their ener.
getic efforts probably saved the Culgoa
from destruction. The lighter, it was
soon seen. could not be saved and tugs
msnaged to get line to her and towed
her clear into the river where the flames
had pretty much their own way viii
her despite many streams Of water
played upon her.
The damage to the Culgoa, owing t.
the prompt work Of the jaekies, was
confined to the scorching Of her side.
