NO CLERGY RATES IN WEST.
Two-Cent Fare Cuts Out Recognition
on These Roads.

Despite the movement on foot
among the railroads east of the Mis-
sissippi river to charge full passen--
f,er rates for members of the clergy,
it is not probable that the lines west
of the Missouri river will change their
present basis of rates.
In the western states where 2-cent
fare laws went into effect few years
ago the half fare custom for ministers
was generally discontinued, along with
many other rate concessions. In those
states, however, not affected by 2-cent
rate legislation, especially west of the
Missouri river, the fares for the clergy
will probably continue less than the
regular rates.
The passenger officials of the east
ern roads have been meeting in Chi
cago this week and as a result it is
probable that after May 80 clergymen
will have to pay the regular rates on
their lines. The matter will be left to
a ballot among the systems interested,
and from the expressions made there
is but little doubt that the change will
be made and the clergy placed upon
the same basis as ordinary citizens.
BY the provisions of the Hepburn
rate law clergymen were exempted
from its general prohibition of the use
of passes. Following the enactment
of the law the wearers of the cloth
were charged half rates, and later this
was changed to a regular scale slight
" less than the regular fares. The
systems represented in the Central
Passenger association, ir rcluding the
roads west of Pittsburg and Buffalo,
have made exception to the regular
rates in cases where the reduced west
bound rates touched directly upon
their lines.

WEST STUDYING ECONOMY.
President Nudge Of Rock Island Sees
New Light


Omaha, Neb., April 17.-H. U.
Nudge, president of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad who, with
other officials, left Omaha on a tour
of inspection of the Iowa lines of the
system, in an interview took a strong
stand for corporation publicity.
1.-THE entire west, 1 find, has taken
to studying political economy" he
said, land the relations of the public
to corporations, especially the COM
mon carriers, such as railroad, tele-
graph, telephone and express com
panies.
''This can result in only one thing,
viz: Public regulation of all corpora
tions of this kind. Whether by the
states, individually, or by the naticn,
public control is bound to come.
"a number of big corporations are
already beginning to recognize this
and are actually inviting the inevit=
able. I have been advocating public
regulation of railroads and 1 know
many heads of corporations who be-
lieve with me on that subject. Presi-
dent Vail of the American Telephone
and Telegraph and Western Union
Telegraph companies, recently in his
annual report, came out strongly for
public control of telephones and tele-
graphs. The people of the country
have long complained about certain
actions of railroads and other quasi
public corporations. Many of the big
gest concerns of this nature will well
come regulatory laws. Publicity, like
light in darkness, will cure a multi
tude of corporation sins F"

Central Branch Getting in
Good" With Kansas Patrons.
Money Spent to Put Road in
Good Condition.
MUCH BALLASTING
TWenty-Acre Plant for QuimbO
Near Frankfort.
Other Items of General Inter-
est in Traffic World.

Kansas City Mo-, April 17.-For the
first time in many years the dove of
peace is flirting around the territory
of the Central Branch, Missouri Pa
cific property in North Central Kansas,
and better understanding is begin
ming to assert itself between the road
and it's passengers and shippers. At
least such reports are being received
by local officials.
Within the past year the road has
made large expenditures to put the
ready is noticeable. This is the work
which had been planned and for which
material had been ordered when Gov
ernor Stubbs of Kansas attempted to
take credit for it by threatening to
throw the road into a receivership.
And this improvement of the past
year apparently isn't all. For a big
program has been outlined for the COM
ing summer which will play large
part in the rehabilitation of the pro-
perty. Several hundred thousand dol
lars will be spent.
The track has been built for 134 miles
west of Atchison, station conditions
have been improved, the schedules
shortened, wrecks have become. infre-
quent and trains are run approximately
done before the road will be in the
standard condition of other western
properties.
The new track runs to Clifton, about
half the distance from Atchison to
Lenora, the western terminus. AS
preliminary to ballasting the entire 293
miles of track, a 20-acre plant for burn
ing gumbo has been equipped near
Frankfort and is now in operation.
The stations all along the line from
Atchison to Clifton have been repaint-
ed and made more attractive. In some
cases the depots have been moved
farther back from the tracks and larger
platforms constructed. And brick has
replaced gravel in many places as
pavement for platforms. In Belolr
new $4,000 station has been built.
Schedules the full length of the line.
have been cut two hours. Train re-
ports show that the trains are sticking
closer to the schedule than under the
former running time. Passenger TRAINS
making all stops now average 70 miles
an hour.
Considerable of the line still remains
untouched. The Improvements haven't
reached the main line west of Clifton,
nor has it touched the branch lines
from Concordia to Prosser, Neb.' from
jamestown to Burr Oak and from
Downs to Stockton.

KAWS SHUT OUT SANTA FE.
Game Gave Indians Some
Good Dodging Practice.

The Santa Fe boys went onto the
Kaw field Saturday with the notion
that their own batteries would be
about as effective as was the one Man
ager Moore loaned them the Sunday
previous. So they sent Elliot to the
slab and Klauer behind the plate. The
score was to 0.
Not that the Kaws hit Elliot so hard
because they couldn't find out where
he was throwing them and 10 singles
was their total collection. This lad
Elliot is said to be one of the best
amateur pitchers of Topeka and the
terror of all clubs attacked by the
Santa Fes during the summer months.
He certainly was a terror to the To-
peka Indians. After the first inning,
the Kaws turns at bat looked more
like an egg lodging concession at a
walked six, and because they were
afraid of their thin skulls, struck out
six in the five innings he pitched.
Sabrie and Katz were hit twice each
and Hafford and Hawkins were knock
ed down once apiece. Breitenstein
and Hawkins, declaring they wanted
to preserve themselves for the Wichita
opening if possible, struck out twice
each. "Kink' Walworth relieved Ell
liot at the sixth session and the Kaws
scored no more but got two hits off
him.
WdlWOEln, d IOTner nlSn SCHOOL
athlete and team mate with Willard,
starred for the railroaders by getting
a triple and a single in his two times

HORSE NOT A HORSE.
Hair Splitting Construction of Law
Leads to Complications.

The new county attorney Ernest R.
Simon and his deputy. James A. Nc
Clure bumped into two puzzling de-
lenses in their first case in the district
court when they attempted to convict
John McCrow, colored, of horse steal
ing.
Insanity as the defense of last re-
sort. supposed to have been held sa-
cred to murder cases, was the first of
these and the second was in the nature
OF the conundrum, When is horse
not q horse %
The second was the first to be con-
sidered. 1t may be said for the new
county attorney that he was "on" to
both propositions. When he had gotten
in all the states evidence in the case
he asked leave of the court to amend
his petition SO as to charge McCrow
with stealing a gelding instead of a
horse. Defending Attorneys Hugh
Mcfarland and w. /. Jamsion entered
vigorous protest and court was ad-
journed to hear argument.
When the motion of the county at
torney to amend was argued, Judge
Dana refused to sustain him in that
right. The case was promptly dis
missed and the defendent re-a1rested
on charge of stealing a gelding. His
trial probably will not come up for
trial until next term.
The defense dug up supreme court
decision to the effect that a horse is
not horse when it is a gelding While
the honorable body split the horse hair
pretty finely, the defense needs no
further authority and. provided they
can keep Simon from amending. their
client cannot be convicted of horse
stealing on the present charge The
case would have to be dismissed and
brought over again. The complain
ing witness, Isaac Clardy, owner of the
horse, testified that the animal in

drawn last September by A. J. Boiling

PLEA FOR WARREN.
Congressman Campbell Asks Taft to
Pardon Editor.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Congressman
Phil Campbell this afternoon called
upon President Taft and urged him to

Fred d. Warren, managing editor of

ard, Kan. who was recently convicted
for using the mails unlawfully and SEN
fenced to six months imprisonment and
fined the sum of 81, 500. Mr. Campbell

grounds that the facts taken as a whole

ed and convicted Go not constitute an
offense of the, law of the United States.

Campbell, because after reviewing the
case / feel that Mr.. Warren has been
