Annual Exchange of Passes Now
in Effect on All Lines.
Gifts of the New Year Find Way
Into Many Local Offices.
NEW RULINGS NOT OUT
Plans of Interstate Commerce
Commission Postponed.
Other Items of General Inter
est in Traffic World.

Take off your hat to the railway Off
cial who has every color. variety and
size of annual passes from other rail-
roads. Topeka is full of them-officials
and passes.
The annual exchange of passes be-
tween railway officials of different sys-
TENS is now in progress, and employees
whose duties make it necessary for
them to use passes on other systems
than their own are also being remem-
bered. In addition the new forms for
trip passes have now reached the hands
of those who issue them and the sig
natures Of chief clerks and other Off
Gals who issue them are being attach
ed.
An important ruling relative to the
issuance of passes by railroads has been
made by the Interstate commerce COM
mission, in which that body announces
a postponement of the enforcement of
the order prepared some time ago bear
ing upon the handling, recording and
issuing of passes.
The statement made public by the
commission reads, in part as follows:
Owing to the limited time avail

c1sm and suggestions invited in the
previous circular, which presented ten
tative plans for uniform methods of
handling, recording and issuing passes.
riers in their arrangements for issuing
passes next year it has been deter
mined that the proposed pass order will
not be made effective January II
In order that more definite informa-
ton relative to the subject may be OBJ
tanned a request has been made by the
commission that the railroads forward
to the officers of that body a copy of
their rules and regulations governing
the use and issuance of passes. togeth-
er with sample Of each kind of pass.
The railroads will be expected to fur
nlsh this information not later than
February 1 next. 1t is expected that
after a further consideration of the sub
ject uniform plan relative to the is
suance of passes will be agreed upon
and made effective January 1, 1872 1t
is hoped that in evolving this scheme
an arrangement will be made for af-
fording aid to the inspectors of the
commission in their task of making
periodical examinations of railroad pass
lists.
The commission has submitted to the
railroads a list of Al questions bear
ing on the pass question and a re-
quest has been made for an answer to
each inquiry. Among these questions
are the following:
How many passes have been issued,
and what is the form of each one?
Who are the officers responsible for
the issuance of these paSses2
What records relative to these passes
are you keeping?
What methods are followed in making
requests for passes?
What reports are made by conductors
relative to passes that are used?
What precautions are taken to pre-
vent intrastate passes from being used
in connection with interstate transport
tatiOn?

Season Battle Spectacular.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 31.-Capt.

Harvard law school students, played
the Vanderbilt Sewanee stars spec
tacular football game, in which
neither side scored, on the Vanderbilt
university field Friday afternoon.
In spite of a muddy field, the game
was fast. The feature was the run
of Hamilton Fish for 100 yards with
a clear field and only Medley Browne,
the celebrated Sewanee player, in pur-
suit. Browne caught up with Fish
and downed him 10 yards from the
anderbilt-Sewanee goal.
Harvard used forward passes to adj
vantage and played a magnificent de-
fensive game. The Sewanee and Van

stars, and Fielding Yost, of Michigan,
coached the Tennessee players. Nc

UNREST IN MISSOURI VALLEY.
Conference Ruling on Turkey Day
Games Uncertain.

Omaha, Dec 31.-Among the Ques-
tons for discussion at the meeting of
the representatives of the j. Missouri
Valley conference schools in Des
Moines on January will be one rela-
tive to the Thanksgiving day football
contests. BY an edict of the faculty
delegates at a meeting in Kansas City
last spring the Turkey day contests
were ordered off the menu after 1910,
so none of the managers of the confer
ence schools are scheduling games for
next Thanksgiving.
Through this new ruling Kansas,
Missouri, Ames. Drake and Nebraska
all were dealt severe blows. The Kan
sas City game between Kansas and
Missouri, has always been the sustain
ing pole that has kept the athletic de-
partments of those schools on easy
street. This game has each fall netted
both schools large sums, and has given
them a large profit in the treasury at
the end of each athletic year.
Now. with the Turkey day game
stricken off the list, these schools must
suffer greatly. Columbia, where the
University OF Missouri is located, af-
fords a poor place for a football con-
test. It is a small town, difficult to
reach by railroads, and not favored as
place for games by other schools in
the valley. Lawrence, the home of the
Jayhawkers, is much better located as
regards railroad facilities, but it also is
a small town, and would not produce
a crowd that could be compared favor
ably with the masses that rushed to the
games of the two schools in the city on
the Kaw.
Nebraska has always made several
thousands off its Thanksgiving day
contest. The last season was a great
success financially because of the large
crowd which was in attendance at the
game with the Haskell Indians in Lin
coin. Ames and Drake, who have been
playing in the Stadium at Des Moines
on Turkey day for several years. have
attracted large crowds, and they will
be losers by several thousand dollars
as a result of the action of the faculty
men.
Kansas City, Mo-. Dec 31-Local fol-
lowers of football do not intend to let
the annual Missouri game be
taken away from here without fight
1t was announced prior to the Thanks
giving game this year that it would be
the last, the ensuing contests going t.
the seats of the two schools. At the
request Of the Commercial club an5
patrons of the game, Mayor Darius A
Brown last night wrote to the authori-
ties of the two universities asking them
to attend a dinner here at which the
question Of continuing the contests
here will be discussed The date for
the meeting has not been set.

Land Northumberland House.
Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 31.-By whipping
one fresh local prize fighter and three
stage hands in a free-for-all on the
stage of the Academy of Music Bat
Ting Nelson demonstrated to an audi
ence of about 1000 that he could come
back. Frank Diamond, a husky local
singer, known as Bananas was put
against Nelson in an exhibition bout
and it is ayerred by Nelson that ''Ba-
nanas" tried to "slip one over" or
knock him out Nelson, enraged, knock
ed Diamond down repeatedly, and when
stage hands came rushing to the as
sistance of the fallen local man, Mel
son began knocking them down as fast
as they came. 1t required one dozen
men, including the stheater fire police,
to stop Nelson. At midnight Nelson
was still mad. He said:
1.-THE Diamond tried to knock me out.
1t was understood that we were to go
easy and do some nice sparring, but he
saw what he thought was an opening
and tried to put me out. 1t was a mean
and rotten trick for him to attempt.
OF course, he didn't land on me, for
I was watching him, but the fact that
he was trying to cheat made me so mad
that I saw red, and just damned into
him like all fury and 1 had him all
over the floor in a minute. His gang
behind the scenes, his people among
the stage hands, then rushed to his res
cue and tried to maui me about and

fit and I was still going good when the
rest of the theater people and the po-
lice piled on me-

AN INCREASE IN IDLE CARS.
Surplus of More Than $4,000 in the
Last Report.

The American railway association
committee on relations between rail-
roads in it's statement of car sur
p1uses and shortages as of December
7, says:
f'The surplus shows an increase of
10,849 cars between November % and
December 7, bringing the total to 53,-
915. For the same period in 1909 the
surplus was 57,470, or 1855 cars more
than at the date of this bulletin.
1.-THE increase in the surplus during
the corresponding fortnight last year
was 1892 cars.
''The shortage for this period is
11,901 cars. While this total is $500
cars less than the shortage on the cor
responding date of 1909, the decrease
in shortage since our last bulletin is
only 2.772 cars, as against decrease
of s,903 cars in the corresponding
period last year. The increase in sur
plus for the entire country as between
box and coal cars was in proportion to
the existing surplus of three classes,
being 4,427 cars for the former and
1882 for the latter, with ASH in
