LESS DOING FOR HARD
W0RKEDRAI SURGEON
One of the Principles Advocated
At Their Convention In Chi
cage, Illinois
[special to The Free Press ]

Chicago, October 15.-Less work for
railroad surgeons will be one of the
principles advocated at the tenth
annual convention of the American
association of railroad surgeons
which began here today. Not that
the surgeons are overworked at pres
ent, or that they are seeking some
way to avoid their Iabors, but ii
is their plan to take some action
which will reduce the number of
cases requiring the services of sur
geonS.
Elimination of accidents, both to
employees and passengers, is the hope
of the railway surgeons within a
few years. More safeguards must
be placed about human beings and
greater care exercised surgeons say,
on the part of those in whose hands
are human lives. Other topics to
be discussed will be: THE Rela-
ton OF the Attendant Surgeon to the
Evidence In Personal Injury Claims, F"
THE Cause and Cure of Car Sick
ness" and "The Role of the Railway
Surgeons In Preventing Damage
Claims"

CHURCH UNION OPPOSED
This Subject Was Under Discussion
At Meeting oil Baptists In
Worthington

Worthington, Mimi, October 15.-
The feature of yesterdays session OF
the state Baptist convention was a
heated discussion OF CHURCH fedora
ton. Rev. G. w. Ball of Minneapolis
presented a report that argued i'll
favor of union of all Protestant
denominations. This aroused the
convention, and Immediately several
delegates were on the floor demand
ing to be heard in the negative.
Mr.. Ball stood practically alone in
his contention The sentiment was
almost unanimously in favor of each
denomination pursuing its own work
in its own way.
Reports were made by standing
committees ON non-residents, minis
terial support, social service and by
the obituary committee.
The women of the conference met
in the forenoon and discussed OUTS
tions of interest to them.
Rev. r. w. Hobbs of Mankato is
made chairman of the committee on
resolutions

PLANS TO SAVE MUCH
REAL Coin DELAYED
Express Companies Are Putting
0bsts cIes In Way of Rate
Reduction
Especial TO The Free Press. ]

Washington, October 15.-Uncle
Sans children throughout the United
States have been planning on saving
S26,000,0 900 beginning from today
They expected the addition to their
fortunes to come through the money
they would save on express rates,
but the companies have sought to
have the order of the interstate COM
merce commission cutting their rev.
enues about sixteen per cent de-
layed. But the reductios will come,
eventually.
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way of
modification of the present graduated
scale of parcel rates. One hundred
pound rates. Rates for short dis
tances either have been left I'M
changed or slightly reduced. For
packages of more than four pounds
going more than 200 miles and less
than 1900 the new express rates
are generally lower than the parcel
post rates; for more than 5000 miles
the rates are practically the same.
The general impression is that the
express companies will attempt to
overthrow by legal means the con-
stitution of the commissions order.

LOOKING FOR NOTORIETY
That Is What Young Alfred DriskeIl Is
After. Say the Chicago
Police

The Minneapolis police will not
ask for the return to Minnesota of
Alfred Driskell, who, according to
dispatches from Chicago yesterday,
confessed there that he murdered
Alice Mathews in Minneapolis
Minneapolis police said that they
believed the Chicago prisoner is in
sane and that he is the same youth
who made a similar confession
last January to the Minneapolis
chief of detectives. Investigation at
that time showed that he knew
nothing of the crime except what he
had read in newspapers.
Dispatches from Chicago last
night said the police of that city
believe Driskell made his confession
to obtain notoriety, hoping to rival
