STOP AT LAWRENCE
Rock Island Trains May Take on Pas
,- sengers There Soon.

Rumors which would seem to in
dicate that Rock Island trains will
begin stopping at Lawrence in the
near future are prevalent in both To-
peka. and Lawrence today. Altho
nothing positive is known, no definite
order having yet been issued, it is be-
lieyed by officials that at least some of
the thirteen Rock Island passenger
trains running between Topeka and
Kansas City will stop at Lawrence for
both mail and passengers.
Under contract between the Union
Pacific and Rock Island railroads,
Rock Island trains have been running
over the Union Pacific tracks to and
from Kansas City, but it was specifi-
cally agreed that while Rock Island
not take on mail at Lawrence.
About six weeks ago the Lawrence
Chamber of Commerce petitioned the
federal hoard of railway control to
allow Rock Island trains to give mail
and passenger service there. An
order received this morning at the
lawrence postoff1ce from William F.
Evans, chief clerk of the railway mail
service at Kansas City, indicates, 1t
is believed, that Rock Island trains
will be stopping at Lawrence in the
near future.
Paul Walker, attorney for the Rock
Island, with offices at Topeka, said to-
day that he anticipated such an action,
but that no orders had yet been issued
This step would be in line with the
