RREITUNG DRAWS SUIT FROM
HIS SON-IN-LAW.
Edward N. Breitung, Chicago mil
lionaire real estate man and mine
owner, has discovered that son-in-
law is an expensive article.
Max Kleist, former gardener on the
Breitung estate, who married Juliet,
heiress to the Breitung millions, filed
suit in White Plains, N Y, yesterday
for $250,000 against his father-in-
law, the price he places on Juliet's
affections.
Kleist, claims Juliet's parents
turned her against him, and that his
father-in-law sent him to work in a
Mexican mine, where his health was
impaired.
The romance of Max and Juliet
created sensation when the mar
riage became public short time ago.
For several days Breitung denied the
marriage had occurred.
Breitung now claims that his
daughter is free to live with Kleist at
any time she wishes.
Juliet is breaking all precedents by
saying nothing.
And Max threatens to tell all''
when the case comes to trial. Just
what "alp' means he doesn't say.

THE, BRICK SITUATION
Delivery of brick to builders and
contractors was begun this morning
without interference from the strik-
ing brickmakers.
The yards were picketed early to-
day, but no attempt was made by the
strikers to modest those who returned
to work. Seventeen million brick are
lying in the North Side yards ready
for delivery, but this supply is not
sufficient to meet demands.
A wire stockade has been placed
around the plants, and 1000 blankets
have been carried in for the use of
strikebreakers. Attempts will be
made to resume operations with nom
union men, as the contractors say
they will pay no attention to the de-
mands of the strikers.
Guards are patrolling the stock
ade.
Trouble may come in the building
trades when the present supply of
hnion-made bricks is exhausted.
Union men employed in constructing
buildings may refuse to handle bricks
made by non-union men. Such a
condition would affect 100000 men.

RAILROAD SERVICE

The Central Vermont railroad an
nounces an improved train service to
and from Montpelier during the COM
ing session Of the legislature. One
of the annoying things in Vermont
has been the failure of the different
railroad companies to arrange their
schedules in harmony. Passengers
off the Rutland road practically never
connected with the Central Vermont
and vice versa.
The state public service commits
sion hesitates to tackle the evil, prob
ably because all the roads are inter
state roads and the commission is
uncertain how far its powers go in
regulating traffic which, to consid-
cradle degree, originates outside the
state. AS result of this uncertain
ty the failure of trains TO connect at
Burlington and other points, has been
an outrageous Imposition on the
public.
The plan of the Central Vermont to
do away with the worst Of this an
noyance is welcome relief. 1t also
leads to the hope that the railroads
are learning the lesson that they need
above all others the lesson of de-
cency and courtesy.
The railroads complain that people
and legislatures are always after the
railroads. They are and will be un-
III the railroads learn that II pays to
treat decent people decently. There
is no reason why the conductor and
trainmen of a passenger train should
not treat the travelling public as
courteously as do the captain and
stewards of ship. instead of insult
ing, ignoring and browbeating them
without reason or excuse.
There is no reason why an honest
man with a claim against a railroad
company should be treated like thief
and a liar and annoyed and abused
for months in reaching a settlement.
There is no reason why station
agent should refuse to answer civil
question even il ii is foolish.
Nervous, timid and inexperienced
travellers are entitled to fair treat

VIGOROUSLY disagreeable 10 passen-
gers In fact we believe the Rutland
men lead all the railroads in
New England in courtesy to the
travelling public. Even country
editor now almost dares to ask diree-
tons for getting to Whitehall, but
on railroads generally there is vast
chance for improvement.
The people judge a railroad, not by
its board of directors. but by the rail-
road men with whom the public
comes in contact and, too many
times, these give the road mighty
bad reputation.
