PR. R. SCHEDULE,
NOW IN EFFECT, CUTS
OFF 90 LOCAL TRAINS
Runs On Others Extended to
Make Up for Loss-B. &
O. Asks Aid in Preventing
Car Destruction.

The winter passenger train schedule of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, which went
into effect this morning eliminates so
trains. Five divisions are affected. On
some divisions the runs have been ex-
tended to compensate somewhat for the
trains annulled.
Comparatively few trains were taken
Off The Media Division, there being some
extensions to the present runs to COM
pensate for the reduction in the number
Of daily trains to West Chester, on The
Philadelphia division, from Is to six.
Virtually the same schedule that went
INTO effect On October 1, 1918, on the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad be-
came effective today, with the excep-
, ion that two trains were withdrawn OH
the steam road together with several
electric trains
President Pennsington. of the 500 Line,
says that the business of the road is
about the same as a year ago. THE
grain Is moving in volume" he said. land
we are in line for a good tonnage. No
vemper ought to bring out comparisons
that will be very satisfactory compared
with year ago."
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
asked its employees to exercise more care
in the handling of cars and equipment,
owing to a steady increase in the loss
due to destruction of cars in accidents.

at s350.5S4 were destroyed, This Is an
increase over 1910 OF 25347 per cent. in
number and 251.59 in valuation.

of the company for whose benefit 1t was
established, the Pension Fund of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad has balance
of $1.O0O,COG. There are 67 men on the
pension roll.

waukee and st. Paul Railroad for the
year ending June 30, 1914. was $50, 0,0S1 656,
against s31, ,523, $40 last year. The balance,
after the deduction of interest and rent
ais and the preferred dividend, was equal
to 6.3 per cent. on SIG, ,S55 400 common
stock, compared with $50 per cent. earned

LEADERS WORK ON
 ADJOURNMENT PLAN
Believed Programme Will Be Made for Adjourn
 ment This Month

l Washington, September 3O.-Con-
 tinued conferences among the demo- crats in both houses today gave strong /, indication of the success of the plan for adjournment of Congress by the | middle of October.
 Nearly all majority members of the House, except a few headed by Repre- sentative Henry of Texas, are aligned with the movement undertaken by Democratic Leader Underwood with the approval of President Wilson to put off
 the administration ship purchase bill until after the November elections. The proposal is that the House shall begin recesslng three days at a time next week, so most of it's members may go to their home districts immediately and that Congress shall adjourn about
 October 15 The shipping bill would
 be taken up as soon as Congress re- convened, either at the regular session In December or at a special session called for the purpose in November Republican members of both houses also are in accord with this plan and there is general determination to maintain quorums to carry it through Representa- tive Underwood said to- night he probably would be able in lew ud9 9s to enter Into pact with Republican Leader Mann with .he nec-
 essary unanimous consent for recesses by the House. This would be al gen
 tleinan's agreement" to take up only routine business after the recesses be-
 san
 Senators or both parties are anxious to cooperate in any movement that
 will bring relief from legislative cares
 for a few weeks.
 Senator K prn the ma iOritN leader
 said the Senate would be ready to take Ia recess or to adjourn within two
 weeks if a quorum were kept to ex-
 pedite business.
