The highest honor that can be con-
ferred upon a railroad exhibitor has
just been given to the Pennsylvania

awards at San Francisco.
Visitors to the Panama-Pacific exs

the centerl feature of which is a
motion picture theatre made of two
passenger cars joined together. Here
beautiful and interesting SCENES
along the lines are shown daily.
Other features of the exhibit are
models of passenger stations in va
rious cities, a relief map of the city
of New York, etc.
Before the award was made the
jury required the submission of GER
tain official Information to be used
as a guide in arriving at a decision.
This information discloses the follow
ing fatcs: In normal times nearly
$500 people are on the Pennsylva-

organized the safety first movement
among railroads, was the first to
adopt all steel equipment for its
trains, and now owns nearly 1000 all
steel passenger cars, or o%ne-third of
the entire number in the country.

The Christian Science Board or Di-
rectors and headed "A Memorial TO
Mrs. Eddy" appeared in the Christian
Science Sentinel. The notice ran as
follows:
1T has been truly said of our be-
loved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, that the
works she has done will remain as
her monument; also that she is one
of those who need no monument, for
their names are craven on many

MUST CUT HEDGES.
House Passes McGinnis Railway Cross
ing Measure After Long Fight

For nearly two hours today the
house fought over the provisions of a
bill by McGinnis of Greeley county to
compel the cutting of hedge near rail-
road and highway crossings. There
was many important bills on the cal
endar and the house was working on
it's tenth day without pay, but it de-
voted more than half of the morning
session to a discussion of the McGin-
mis- bill.
By terms of his bill, McGinnis would
provide that hedge within 90 yards of
a railroad or highway crossing be
trimmed to height of not more than
five feet. A dozen amendments to the
bill were proposed. Several house
members moved to strike out the en-
acting clause, but the bill was finally
saved and passed Then the house
reconsidered a reformatory bill, made
up bulk roll call and took a two hour
recess for lunch.

SENATE REVERSES IT.
Cemetery Tax Proposition Changes
Color at Today's Session.

The senate today reversed itself on
the proposition of permitting cemetery
associations to levy taxes. Early in
the present session the upper house
went on record, after considerable de-
bate, against the propr1ety of dele
eating to cemeteries the right of levy
ing taxes against lots within their en-
closures for the purpose of general
improvements. At that time the up
per house killed bill which had been
introduced by one of it's members.
Today while the members of the
senate were absorbed in other matters
the same bill, having already been
passed by the house of representa-
tives, slipped through and will be
made a law unless Governor Capper
vetoes it The purpose of the bill is
to enable cemetery associations to
beautify their property at the expense
of owners of the lots within their
boundaries and has been made of
much interest to the older associations
by the organization of modern ceme-
terry companies which guarantee the
perpetual care of lots.

assistant general manager of the Hi
nois Traction company.
I'VE are losing 500 day because
of the jitneys,'' said Mr.. Patten this
afternoon.
The loss of one hundred dollars
daily amounts to $4,000 year and if
the present rate keeps up, that will
probably make a marked reduction in
/ receipts.
No estimate of the receipts of the
| jitney cars in Topeka has yet been
made, but it is claimed that each car
brings in from So to $40 gross daily.
If each of the 20 cars make IS a day.
carrying total of $50 passengers, the
gross receipts are $40 a day. The
bigger cars probably carry more than
that, while the smaller ones a great
deal less. Conservative estimates are
| that the pitneys bring in gross prof
it of $500 to $500 every day, and it is
! easy to see that the railway company
can lose 500 or more since the nick
ell automobile carrier arrived in To-
peka.
Reports from Kansas City say that
the Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany of that city is losing from $1,000
to $1,000 day in gross receipts and
in Los Angeles $4,000 daily.
The problem that is facing the cleo
trio traction companies over the coun-
try is a grave one as there are thou
sands of jitney buses scattered
throughout the United States particu-
larly in the western portion.
During bad weather and rush hours,
the Topeka Railway company puts on

Furnish Bonds.
When the new city commission is
organized in the spring the Topeka
Commercial club through it's commit
tee on municipal legislation under
Irwin Snattinger will ask that an
ordinance be passed regulating the
'jitney' business in the city.
In an informal discussion at a meet
ing of the committee today it was the
opinion of those present that bonds
should be furnished to cover personal
injuries. 1t was also thought that all
cars should be labeled so that car
owners will not be subjected to the
inconvenience of being stopped by
wouldbe passengers. Regulations have
been made in other cities and Snat-
finger expects to procure copies of
these regulations. No definite action
was taken by the committee today.
