in the central west, including Kansas,
Some of the reductions will affect To-
peka, but these restrictions will be
light.
Between March 1 and July Is, the
railroads in this territory effected a
saving at the rate of almost seven
million passenger miles a year in pas
Nsenger train service, according to n
report just made TO the railroads war
board by r. H. Ashton. president of
the Chicago & Northwestern railway
and chairman of the central depart
ment committee. The total reductions
already made and those soon to be put
into effect in this territory, amount
to over 100000 passenger miles.
This is in addition to reductions of
over 100000 passenger miles al
ready reported in eastern Nerritory
Several roads which have up to the
present made only Small reductions in
passenger service, have planned such
reductions to take place in the I'M
mediate future. The Burlington sys-
tenn plans reduction amounting to
10000 passenger miles; the Pock

reduction already planned amounts to
3.539,561 passenger miles, making n
total of 12,227,s63 passenger miles for
the railways of the central depart

are expected to be brought about by

Russian Discipline Faction Mo-

Conflict at Conference, Between
.Kerensky and Chief, Impends.
ROSES FOR MILITARY LEADER
Duma Member Declares He'll
Save Country From Ruin.
Sharges Army Chief With In

Moscow, Aug. 2S-A conflict at the
national conference between Premier
Kerensky, backed by the moderate
Socialists and a ma jOrity of the coun-
Gil of workmen's and soldiers dele-
gates, and the constitutional demo-
Gratis and other non-socialist parties,
including the Moscow industrial group
and that part of the army which
stands for ruthless discipline, is APP
preaching. The opposition to the pre-
mier looks to General Korniloff, the
commander in chief of the Russian
armies, as it's champion. The lineup
of delegates is indicated by interviews
the Associated Press has had with
members of all groups represented at
the conference.
In this connection the newspapers
say that Petrograd is being brought
into sharp opposition with Moscow
This opposition is emphasized by the
fact that the Moscow committee OIL

to organize MoscowS representation
at the conference today declared it in
tends to sit permanently.
Name on Every Tongue.
The name of General Korniloff is on
every tongue. His coming was await
ed with something akin to fear by the
extreme left, which still incites
against discipline in the army, and
with open exultation by the opposing
the generals arrival the signal for
demonstration seldom accorded even
to a victor in battle The import of
the demonstration is emphasized by
the fact that not one member of the
cabinet was at the railway station, but
instead there was an imposing display
of the military and civilian admirers
of General Korniloff.
The sole subject of conversation ap-
peared to be the necessity of support
ing General Korniloff's demand for
strong measures including capital
disorders in the rear of the fighting
army.
Guard Carried Roses.
The station was filled with deputa-
tions of Cossacks and guards of hon.
or. the chief of honor being compos-
ed of the much decorated Cavaliers
of St George and youths from a mill
itary academy.
Every man of the guard of honor
following the Russian army practice
held a rose and another flower. There
was also a. group of seven boy volun-
teers none over 6 years of age, and
all of whom had fought since the be-
ginning of the war, and a girl volun-
teer who had been wounded twice on
the field of battle.

The ent re upper story OF the Col

resides at the home, is given at $500.

too early to make representations
q bout the Presidency or the Speaker
SIP, with any degree Of certainty.
The indications are the field for Presi-
dent of the Senate will narrow down
to about three, and for the Speaker
ship to less than half of the original
ten While Dr. Brough is not taking
any hand in the organization, his in
fiuence is nevertheless being felt in
House and Senate. The prediction
is freely made that the admiDlstra-
tion will have a working majority IN
each body, and that the prov scd
measures to be embodied in The new
governors inaugural viii have tie
support Of the lawmakers.

Great interest IS felt in the mes
sage Of Gov. Brough. No intimation
has been given out as to its contents,
except in some minor details. 1t IS
believed that he viii advocate the
calling Of a constitutional convention,
since ne expressed himself as favor
ing H. The greatest interest is felt
in his recommendation for financial le-
gislation. This continues as it has
been for some years, the greatest
question confronting the lawmakers.
Several efforts have been made TO
solve It. The natural increase in tax
able values. and the slashing vetoes
Of appropriations by the Governor
have helped some. Two years ago,
when the Legislature convened, the

venes next Monday, there will be de-
fic.t Of approximately $4,000. If

plished journalistic feat that will COM
