PROCRESSIVES ARE RECEIVING
 FLUCTUATIONS
Ant-Interests Republicans t Start Branch Leagues in
 Many Centres
Especial from United Press.)


 Washington, Jan. 26-"At present the chief news about the Progressive Republican League is the number of letters and telegrams We are receiv- ing," said Bristow, (Rep, Kan), to- day. "A1 extend their congratula- tions and a good many ask for plans for the organization of branch leagues in their States
 One of the things to be attended to, the Senator said. was the ap- pointment of a secretary. Then the details of the organization and the most effective means for extending aid to struggling progressives in var ious states will be perfected. The ill., ness of Senator Bourne, (Rep., Ore.), president of the league, who has been confined to his room for several days with an aggravated case of the grip, has tended to check it's progress. Bourne expected to be out, today or tomorrow.
 As President of the League he has been flooded with messages of en- with bundles of them when he enters his office.
 A member of the House who is not in the league suggested, today, that results in a small number of States, in which the delegates to the Ma tional Convention in 1912 were elected directly by the people, might prove a serious obstacle to the Taft second term movement. Suppose the conven- tion delegates in 10 States" he said, should be elected by the people and that the latter showed a general sen timent in opposition to the present. Would the convention favor the Taft delegates chosen in the other States in the old way? It seems to me to be a most interesting question:

HOW OVERCROWDING OF TROLLEY CARS IS PREVENTED IN
 EUROPEAN CITIES

Only in barbarous America, it appears. are street cars permitted to be run overcrowded. The Daily Consular Trades Report. issued un- der authority of the United States Government. tells. issue of Jan. 10. last. how overcrowding Is prevent ed in European cities. in any of which the spectacle of a car jam med full of writhing human be- ings. frequent spectacle in Bridgeport. would be a signal to call the police.
 Vice Consul George B. Steven son. Liverpool. reports that there is an almost entire absence of overcrowding in the great English city. The service requires no less than 6S per cent. increase in the number of cars run during rush hours. If necessary to care for a rush. cars are run on half-minute schedule.
 Consul Albert Halsted reports from Birmingham that the ordi- nances of the city, give the police authority to regulate the loading and unloading of passengers. There is no rushing or crowding. Those who ride before o'clock have the advantage of a cheaper fare.
 Consul Church Howe. reports from Manchester. England. that during rush hours four passengers are allowed to stand in a small car. and six in large car. The conditions are met by providing extra cars at rush hours.
 In Leeds. England. the number of cars are largely augmented three times day. morning. noon and night. Worlmen get a spe- cia1 rate good during special hours. under which four mile ride may be had for two cents. The report is by Consul Benjamin F. Chase.
 In Belfast. Ireland. the conduc- tor closes the gate of the car when the passengers equal the number permitted.
 In Marseille. France. all street cars are marked with card stat ing the number which they are permitted to carry. The fare is 1.ss cents within city limits and 2.89 cents for a circular trip
 , Tn Berlin. Germany. rush traffic is cared for by running cars closer together. Rarely are more. than seven persons allowed to stand in a car. On special occasions more are allowed to stand. as during sudden showers. or snow storms. Tickets are sold to workmen good for one week for 11.9 cents one way and 23.S cents when used twice daily.
 Says Consul General John H. Snodgrass. writing of Moscow. principal city of his high majesty. the Czar: "Tbe superiority of tho car lines in Moscow Is apparent to the ca sual observer in the we'll constructed and smooth roadbed; the care exercised at street cross ings and corners where cars are compelled to stop whether or not passengers a1ight or are taken on; the absence of strap hanging and crowding of the platforms; the civility of conductors and motor- men and the reasonable fares charged. Bach passenger is pre- scented with a ticket which he must preserve until he leaves the car. The fares range from 1 1-2 cents to five cents for a short ride"
