Persistent RumOrS Disturb To.
peka Railway Circles.
'Tis Said Employees Soon VIII
Pay Their Fare.
COST HIGH TO RAILROADS
Free Transportation Is an
Enormous Expense.
Rail Men i'm Topeka Believe
Order Is Coming.

Railway employees in Topeka are
greatly disturbed about a persistent
rumor that the issuance of passes is to
De discontinued. The story comes to
Topeka from Colorado, where railroad
men say some action with that end in
view already has been taken. Railway
circles here have no information fur
ther than the report mentioned.
The officials higher up have given
the subject some consideration. but no
order has been made. It is said that
the increasing demands on the part of
employees has made a policy of re-
trenchment necessary, and the eIini-
nation of free transportation constf-
tutes a large item.
The strenuous effort of the average
railroad management of today is di-
rected toward increased efficiency of
service for the public, which means in
creased cost of operation and
maintenance. It is claimed that
increased legislative requirements,
increased expenditures and high
er wages for employees, with
threatened reduction in rates, are fore
ing the railroads to retrench wherever
possible.
Santa Fe and Rock Island officials in
Topeka today would not confirm or
deny the rumors.

Only % Legislatures Heard
FrOm-Press Gives 35.

Washington. April 5.-Delay in the
official announcement of the adoption
of the seventeenth amendment to the
constitution of the United States pro-
viding for the election of United
States senators by direct vote OF the
people, is threatened because of the
apparent apathy of officials of the rati-
flying states. Up to the close of office
hours yesterday although press re-
ports showed that S5 states already
had reported themselves in favor of
the amendment, leaving only one more
affirmative vote to give effect to the
the state departme ment had
received returns from only % states,
the latest being New Mexico, which
ratified the amendment March Is.
It is expected that on Monday the
one vote necessary for complete rati-
fcation will be recorded but weeks
may elapse before the announcement
can be made and the several states be
authorized to adopt the new
method of electing senators.
