Changers in Southern Pacific Time Table

Changes in Southern Pacinc time IaDle
Two new passenger trains we're put
i, operation on the Southern Pacific,
between New Orleans and Houston,
the first of the week. These new
trains are known as Nos. ii and IL,
and are both night trains. By the adj
dition of these trains Nos. 7 and 8
will be relieved OF local traffic, MAX
ING no stops between Lake Charles
and Crowley. The addition OF these
new trains has necessitated some
slight changes in the schedule along
the line. The following changes have
been made at this place:
OF the east bound trains, No. 4, the
Oriole, leaves at 1922 p. M, instead OF
$50. No. 6 due at S:54 a. M; no
change made. No. 10, passes at l2:lo
a. m.-don't stop-no change made
No, 10 arrives at ll:40; two minutes
| earlier than before. No. y, the new
train, arrives at HOS D. m.
West bound: No. 3, the Oriole
s:l7 d. M: no change. No. 5 at 3:22
D. m, eight minutes earlier than be-
fore. No. I. passes through at 400 a.
M; don't stop. No. 8 arrives at 81;
D, M, instead of 6:42. No. IL, new
train. arrives ut 2:27 a. m.
This change is decidedly disadvant
ageous to the eastern part of the par
ish. as now it will be impossible to re
turn from Lake Charles later than OF
! No. y, which leaves Lake Charle
shortly after ten O'Clock, thus pre-
venting the going over to the parisl
seat for any evening entertainment
. and returning the same evening. Like
wise If one desires to get iato LAX
Charles before ten o'clock in tn
morning, he will have to get up i
time to take the 2:27 train and thu
spend a part of the night there.
Nos. 7 and 8, while they will nc
sion at the smaller stations for pas
sengers, will continue to take and de
liver mail from them, as mail crane
4 have been erected at Welsh, Jennine
> and similar points to provide for tai
ing the mail sacks.

LOCAL train on the West Jersey and
Seashore railroad at Lucaston, N. j.,
~whenit was sideswiped by an Atlantic
City express.
The names of the victims Of the
wreck bringing prosecution and the
amounts of damage asked in each
case were given as follows

900; Carl LEM, Berlin, n. j., 25,000j

tered suits In the following amounts:
John L. Morgan, $4,000; Emma A.
Morgan, his wife, $4,000; Sarah NJ.
Morgan, $4,000, more seriously injur-
ed than the others of the family, 1t is
asserted; John Morgan, Jr., 1925, 900;
Catherine Morgan, $4,000; Irene Nor
gan, $4,000; Mrs. John Schleinkoser,

Long, general manager Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, to Investigate the

ed and seventeen injured, Is expected
to make Its report at any moment.
1t Is expected that the committee
will place the blame on L. A. Harris
of Salem, n. J., brakeman Of the Atco
local train.
Harris was admitted to bail in the
sum Of $4,000. 1t Is said his case will
not be likely TO come before a grand
jury until September. The charge
against him Is expected to be %involun-
tary manslaughter.
He is said to have admitted that he
threw the wrong switch, thus allowing
the Atco local to take a ~crossover and
collide with the express from this city.
1t had been the intention of the brake
man to sidetrack the AtcO local to per
NIT another express from Atlantic
City to Camden to pass at Lucaston.
The public utilities of New Jersey
is still probing tie week.

SENATE WOULD
AUG. |.
Agrees to Extend it's Daily
Sessions One Hour.

Washington, July 6.-AdJournmen
not later than Aug. 1.
This IL the latest purpose of the lead.
ers of the senate.
In line with this plan, the senate has
agreed unanimously to meet an hour
earlier each day and to remain IN SEES
sion seven hours. The hour Of meet
Ing was expressly fixed for II o'clock.
to remain In session until 6 o'clock.
1t Is likely that within a few days,
Senator Penrose, chairman Of the fin
ance committee, will ask the senate to
FIX q date by unanimous consent for a
vote on the Canadian reciprocity bill.
The insurgent senators declare they
have no intention to obstruct and with
a few speeches yet to come they will
be ready for a vote on the Canadian
bill.
There is a general feeling around the
senate that that body is nearer to an
agreement for a vote thar has been
believed.
Senator La Toilette probably will
occupy more time than any of the
other insurgents. The estimates Of the
time he will require to deliver his
speech vary from three days to a
week.
The senator himself Is noncommittal
as usual. But while his speech may
cover several days, 1t Is not likely to
be continuous.
The senator from Wisconsin will
probably u the speech In sections
and there will be time between each
installment for other senators to edge
In and thus no time will be lost.
Senator Cummins has closed his adj
dress. He will probably figure In the
running debate from time to time, but
will not address the senate again in a
set speech on the subject Of Canadian
reciprocity.
Senator Burton made q notable
speech in support Of the Canadian
reciprocity. He was subjected to a
fusillade of questions and his speech
occupied more than three hours.
Representative Underwood, chair
mar of the ways and means commit
tee of the house, conferred with the
senate leaders. He told them the
house cotton bill would be ready for
the senate In about two weeks.
He stated further that the ways and
means committee would Immediately
take up the other schedules Of the
Payne-Aldrich law and revise them
and send them over to the senate.
This work will go on, he says, as
long as congress is In session.

Editor Of The Virginia Gazette:
I am glad to see that the State
Board Of Charities and Corrections
have. IN their annual report to the
Governor. recommended a reduction
in the number Of alnshouses of Viz
ginis by means Of consolidation.
In discussing this policy DR.. Geo.
Il. Denny. chairman Of the board.
says AT present the almshouses are
mostly III kept. with poor fare aad
no incentive to better things" If
this DC true. and I believe il Is. Viz
ginia should awaken to the necessity
Of better caring for her indieent
persons. In your editorial on this
subject, you spoke Of the fact that I
had advocated such a policy for a
number of years. This is true. I
have given the matter a great deal
Of thought and I believe the solution
Of the problem is the combining of
several counties. forming districts 50
that sufficient funds can be had 10
erec:. equip and maintain modern
institution for the unfortunate poor
Such home should be located
on or near a railroad where il will be
easily accessible for the friends and
relatives of the unfortunate inmates
70 visit them and for convenience OF
the management.
There should be about 200 acres
OF land attached to the home. 100
acres could be used for trucking or
farming purposes the other should
oe N timber which would be enough
TO keep the home in fire wood.
The grounds around the buildings
should be beau6fied with shrubberv.
trees and flowers making il as at
uacuve as possible. The manage
ment should be controlled by "a board
OF directors. and each county, form
ing tie disurict, should have a rep-
resentahve on the board. The home
should be run on the same high
plain that other similar Institutions
are run. In this way the sick and
inhrm INDECENT person could be
cared for systematically and scien-
uheally receiving the best Of atten-
non from a medical and nurses
standpoint. 7 am satisfied. with
such institution. the counties could
better and more economically care
