RAILROAD NEWS.
Attempts Made to Regulate
Railways by Politics.
What Has Been Done in Last
Legislative Period.
KANSAS HAS MANY.
Twenty Three MeasuresBrOught
Out in This State.
Other Items of General Inter-
est i'm Traffic World.

During the period of state legislation
inst closing plenty of attempts were
made to regulate railroads. Statistics
contained in a report issued by spe-
cial committee on relation OF railway
operation to legislation, Wh1ch repre-
sents the railways of the United states
show that 4SS bills were introduced IN
state legislatures this year, all of which
attempt to regulate the railroads. In
the forty-six states, thirty-four state
legislatures met.
ONLY nine bills were introduced IN the
Texas legislature. This is because OF
suggestion by Governor Colquit of that
state urging a letup on the railroads, as
that state already had all the laws II
needed to regulate railroads, and more
than could easily be enforced.
The object of the railroad committee
which has issued its report was to as
sist in handling operating bills brought
up before state legislatures, making eX-
plantations to the commissioners and
committees of technical details and
operating conditions affected by such
operating bills as those covering boiler
inspection, the safety appliance laws
and the like.
The report shows among other things,
that many of the state bills conflict
with bills covering the same features of
railroad operation pending before con-
gress. FOrty-six bills introduced dealt
with equipment of passenger trains,
and twenty-six prescribe service, let
tiers and time of payment. Twenty
specify equipment of stations; sixteen
are in regard to headlights, nineteen
deal with hours of service; more than
fifty dealt with rates, while the re-
mainder are general in character.

HEALTHY NERVES
Impossible Without Pure,

A Cure Which Proves the Value of Dr..
Williams Pink PilIs in the Treat.
ment of Even Severe Nervous
Diaeases

Mrs. Donald Galloway, of No. 1915
Hardesty avenue, Kansas City, Mo,
suffered from nervous prostration with
out relief until she tried DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. She says:
suffered for a year from what the
doctors called nervous prostration, due
to overwork. / was dizzy all of the
time and very nervous. ] would get
short of breath and felt as though I
would fall at each step. At times
would be so nervous that l would shake
all over and it seemed as though I was
being pricked with needles. 1 could
not hold a plate for fear of dropping it.
There were severe pains in my side. l

and was confined to bed for a month.
had sick headaches twice q week and
could not sleep nights.
The doctors did not seem to help
me and they said it would be a long
time before I would get well. also
tried many medicines but without help
and had given up hope of getting well.
A friend recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to my husband. 1 did not
see much of an improvement until 1
had taken three boxes of the pills.
From then on began to sleep and eat
DcJOcT duQ IelG DebUeT III every way.
The pills did me so much good that 1
kept on taking them until cured and
have been well ever since"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are the most
direct cure for nervous troubles because
they remove the cause of these diseases
by building up and purifying the blood.
The pure blood which they make fur
nishes the nerves with needed elements
until they are restored to their normal
strength. The pills have made so many
remarkable cures in nervous disorders
that no sufferer can afford to neglect
giving them trial.
They can be obtained at any drug store
or direct from the DIR. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, at so
cents per box; six boxes for $3.50.
While so promptly effective, DR.. VIII

Carrying Of Of Valued
Antiquities.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME, August 11.-Despite the law 10
prevent the disposal OF Italy's national
art treasures the clandestine traffic in
works Of art has not been stopped, al
though the vigilance OF the authorities
has done a good deal to keep such lille
gal sales within narrow limits Recently
the minister OF instruction was informed
that a valuable ancient cross. which had
hitherto been preserved in the Church of
San Francesca d'Atri. had been secretly
transported by the rector to Naples and
there sold to local dealer in antiquities.
AS q result of active inquiries the pre-
cious object was discovered and seques-
trated just as 1t was about to be ex-
ported. and the clerical vender was SUBJ
sequently arrested and taken before the
authorities to explain his illegal action.
tendent OF monuments at Pisa heard that
an attempt was being made to remove a
famous statue known as the Virgin of
Agostina di Duccio from the church of the
episcopal seminary Of Pontremoli With
the assistance OF the subprefect of Pom
tremoli and the local honorary inspector
of monuments the superintendent learned
that the rector of the church had con-
cluded a contract for the sale Of the
statue for So, 900. one of the conditions be-
ing that the original was to be replaced
by fac-simile. in the hope that the sub
stitute might pass unnoticed. In this
case also the rector was hailed before the
judicial authorities.

.FL0cK|NG TO CITIES
Census Figures Showing the
Trend of Population.
LOSSES IN SOME STATES
Rural Enumeration There Less Than
Ten Years Ago.
CLOSE TO HALF IN CITIES
Last Years Count Shows 1873 Per
Cent Urban and 53.7 Per
Cent Rural.
LOSE TO HALF IN CITIES

The trend Of the movement from the
country to the city is forcibly shown in
preliminary report made public today
at the census Office. 1t is shown that the
proportion of persons in continental
United States living In cities compar-
ed with the number of persons living in
the rural districts has increased greatly
during the last ten years. The thirteenth
census shows that 46.3 per cent of the
entire population is urban and 53.7 per
cent is rural. In 1900 the proportion
was 4O.5 per cent urban and $50 per
cent rural. Still farther back in 1890 the
proportion was 36.1 per cent urban and
$50 per cent rural. In 1910 there were
living in the cities 42.623.3S3 persons and
in the rural section 49,34S, $50, the total
population being 3l.972.2 266.
The census bureau. for purposes of dis
cussion, has defined urban population
generally as that residing In cities and
other Incorporated places of 900 inhabi-
tants or more. The remainder Is classed
as rural.
New England Largely Urban.
In the New England division more than
four -fifths of the population in 1910 lived
in urban territory. as defined by the CEN
in this division in which the population
classified as urban is less than half the
total population OF the state, while in
Rhode Island and Massachusetts more
than nine-tenths and in Connecticut very
nearly ninc-tenths of the total popula-
ton in 1910 is classified as urban.
In the middle Atlantic division the
urban population constituted more than
-tenths of the total population. but
the proportion for the state of New York
alone was very nearly four -fifths. and
that for New Jersey fully three-fourths.
In the east north central and the Pa
cific divisions the urban territory in each
case contained more than half the total
population In 1910, but in the former
division there were three states-Indfana,
Michigan and Wisconsin-and In the lat
ter division one state-Oregon-in each OF
which the urban population comprised
less than half, but more than 40 per cent
of the total population.
There are fourteen states In which more
than half the population in 1910 was liv-
ing in urban territory. The proportion OF
urban population at the last three CEN
suses is given for each of these states in
the order of the proportion for 1910. as

Two States Are Exceptions.

Considering the states without regard to
geographical location. it appears that in
every state and territory of continental
United States there has been since 1900
an increase in urban population. while in
seven states there has been an actual de-
crease in rural population. In all but two
and Wyoming-the urban
population has increased faster than rural
population, and generally at a very much
more rapid rate. There is no state or ter
ritory in which the increase In urban
population was less than 10 per cent, and
in six states 1t was more than 100 per
cent and in thirteen other states between
so and 100 per cent There are twenty
two states, on the other hand, in which
the rural population either decreased or
showed an Increase of less than 10 per
cent. while there are only eight states
in which it was between 80 and 100 Per
