TO REPLACE old CARS
With new STEEL Ones
Central Railway to Improve
Service

Thirteen fine steel mail cars con
tracted for by the Central, and which
will be ready for delivery between Oc-
tober 10 and Is. With the delivery of
this equipment the Central will begin
putting out of commission all its old
fashioned wooden rolling stock in pas
senger and postal service. The wooden
passenger coach is to eventually pass
out of use on the Central Railway
The Central has now two steel pos
tai cars in service between Americas
and Montgomery. Under recent postal
regulations it is necessary that all cars
carrying the United States mails be of
steel. Realizing that steel is the best
and safest material with which to build
cars, the Central has determined to
equip its entire system with these cars.
The cars cost approximately ten
thousand dollars each.
1t has not been announced to what
portions of the system the new cars
will be delivered. The service be-
tween this city and Atlanta is already
equipped with wooden cars OF the lat
est design and pattern, and ii will not
be necessary to abandon these for
some time to come except in the matter
of carrying the mails.
All of the wooden cars will be super
seeded, however, by the steel cars
throughout the Central system.

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo American Gable
Company and the Direct U. s. Gable
Company, under which the cable sys-
TENS of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and econonli-
cal operation.
Second, the introduction of nerD
forms of service to the advantage of
the public.

Business Impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems~-the
Western Union, the French and the
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
ing control Of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system. 4
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
trans Atlantic cable business:
I-BETTER SERVICE. This win be
insured by more efficient and econom-
ical working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cables and land lines.
a-PUBLIC ADVANTAG ES. The
greater part of the cable capacity has
been and Is now untitled. II will
continue TO lie dormant and untitled
under existing conditions and tradi-
tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means of new kinds
of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all trans Atlantic
cable cnmnanieS

YOUNG
Mothers

No young woman, in the joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the phys
ical ordeal she is to undergo. The
health of both she and her coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
TEN for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. 1t works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all It's

and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
in splendid physical condition. The

given a young expectant mother than
that she use Mothers Friend; it is a

REVOLT PUTS
 NEW RULER ON CH|NA'S THRONE
Especial from United Press.)

iopOSidi OIAlCo CSS'J
 Pekin, Nov. Yuan Shi Kai fold ed up the announcement of his ap- pointment as premier of China, today, with a brief statement of the policy he intends to pursue.
 His first act, he said, will be to cease hostilities against the rebels, Then he will open negotiations with General LiYuan Sung, the revolution ist military commander, who recently proclaimed himself president of China, with a view to re-establishing perma- ment peace.
 Practically, Yuans plan contem- plates a union between the govern ment and the rebels. Whether the rebels will accept his overtures, how ever, is an open question. They have shown no sign of abandoning the rev. olution on the strength of the em- perOr'S promises and Yuan is known to be out of favor with them for hav- ing accepted office under the Manchu dynasty.
 The emperor, having surrendered practically all power by his edict of last Monday. Yuan's elevation to the premiership, if he succeeds in termin- ating the rebellion, will make him virtual ruler of China, of course, sub- iect to the parliament which the emperor is pledged to call together.
 Other cabinet appointments await the new premier's selections.
 While Yuan is busy with his nego- tiations with the rebels, he has asked that someone be delegated to look af- ter the premiership for him and Prince Ching. recently deposed premier, has been assigned to the task.
 If he' cannot secure an interview with General Lii in any other way, Yuan says he will visit the latter's headquarters in Wu Chang. The trip will be attended with considerable peril.
 Shanghai, Nov. Rebels seized Nan Chang, capital of Kian Si province, today, and a force of them is now marching on Nankin, which will prob ably fall before them as most of the population already sympathizes with the revolutionary movement.
 Shanghai, Nov. Rear Admiral Joseph B. Murdock, of the United States Navy, arrived here. today, and at once ordered $50 marines to Han kow to protect foreign interests there. The marines started immediately.

Dr. Johnson Gets
 ,$32752 Damages

Dr. J. Murray Johnson won his suit against Eli Greenblatt of Botsford, who declared the doctors fee of $500 for performing an operation was ex- orbitant. Judge Scott of the court of Common Pleas handed down a de- -cision today in which he awarded Dr. Johnson damages of $327.52.
 The operation was performed. upon Greenblatt's son, who was injured in a railroad accident. Dr. Johnson said he had made an agreement with Green blatt to take the case as private one and receive a reasonable fee. Dr. Johnson sued for $500.
 In the suit of John Herman of this city against the Bridgeport First Hungarian Sick Benefit Society, Judge Scott finds for Herman to recover s69. .7S. Herman claimed he was un- able to recover $65 in sick benefits at the rate of $5 a week for 13 weeks. The society said Herman was able to work and was therefore not entitled to benefits.

Just before he made his address Coroner Wilson who is attempting to run on the Warner King-Lavery ticket spoke and the re- ception he got must have made him think feelingly of what Old Dr. Cook has passed through since he was found out. Wilson's reception was cold, very, very cold while the work CTS warmed up to Donnelly. The lat ter read extracts from the Farmer showing what he accomplished when in the legislature in behalf of labor and invited his auditors to scrutinize his record in every public office he has held and judge for themselves whether he will be subject to bosses or rings. He got a fine hand when he finished.
 Brief remarks were made by Candi- dates Boucher, Thomas and Garrity and each of these received much ap- DlauSe.

 IS CAPTURED
Especial from United Press.)


 Constantinople, Nov. 1-General Ca neva, commanding the Italian army in Tripoli, has been captured by the Turks, according to a report given out at tfIe war ministry here, today. Considerable doubt is expressed in foreign diplomatic circles here as to the statements accuracy. The war ministry >gives it, however, as offic- ial.
 The capture, according to the offic- ials, was accomplished during des- perate fight in the streets in the out skirts of Tripol. Official dispatches give assurance, the war ministry an- nounces, that the Turks are steadily pushing the Italians back towards the coast and confidence is expressed that they will be forced either to surren- der or take to their boats here.
 War Minister Chunket Pasha is au- thority for the announcement today that the Turks captured five more forts at Tripoli, yesterday, after three hours hard fighting which ended much in the Turks favor, despite the fact that the Italians were assisted by a fire from their torpedo boats off shore. The Italians are being reinforced daily, the war minister says, but to offset this, Arabs from the deep inter- for are Hooking to the Turkish stand ard.
