POOR SERVICE ON TRAINS
.FROM.BEACH IS CHARGED
Cars Shockingly Overcrowded,
With No Signs of Improvement,
Passenger Complains.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Conditions on the excursion trains
on the Chesapeake Beach railway
during the past few years have been
bad, and they are even worse this
summer, with no apparent effort on
the part of the management to i'm
prove them. Especially is this true
on trains returning to the District
line late Sunday evenings.
1 was passenger on the train that
left the Beach at o'clock last Sun
day night. Men, women and children
were clinging to the tender. sitting
or standing on the platforms of all
the cars and crowuing :he aisieS Of
every car in the train. l went into
the baggage car, and there l found
a score or more of men and women
sitting or lying on the floor. A num-
Der of extra cars were observed on
the sidings at the Beach, but when
trainmen were asked, in view of the
disgustingly overloaded condition OF
the train, to put on one or more of
these extra cars the request was re-
fused in menner, to say the least,
gruff.
If such things occurred only once
in a while it would be bad enough,
but the fact, however, is that it is
almost an everyday occurrence Trains
in both direction are grossly over
crowded, and the condition is abomi-
nably bad every holiday. week end
and Sunday. Especially is this true
on the night trains. The coaches are
poorly illuminated Last Sunday
night one coach was not lighted at
all.
The roadbed. track and rolling
stock of the road are in a deplorable
condition. no repairs apparently, hay
ing been made in many months. Pa
irons who live along the road are
! frank in saying that some of the
bridges are unsafe, and that they
dread accidents every time trains
/ cross them. One has TO ride over the
road only once to observe these facts:
! AS the road is an intrastate line, 1t
does not come under the supervision
| of the Interstate Commerce Commits
| sion and is not subject to any con-
| troll other than that of the Maryland
| public service commission. However.
! it seems certain that something should
| be done to remedy the shockingly
| overcrowded conditions on holiday
| and Sunday trains, and to prevent
! accidents almost sure to happen
i worse, even, than the Terra Gotta
| wreck. HENRY IL HANfORD.

CHURCHILL FORESEES
CHANGE IN RUSSIA
Briton Says the Nation at Present
Is Keynote of Future Peace
of World.

LONDON, July 17-"Russia at the
present moment is the keynote of the
future peace of the world and the
relifting of that country must be the
first duty of the league of nations"
said Col. Winston Spencer Churchill,
secretary of state for war, in an ad-
dress at the British Russian Club din
ner tonight.
eff the whole of Russia and it's
resources fall into the hands of Lenin
and Trotsky the whole power of the
bolshevik forces will be thrown
against those little states which have
been promised the protection of the
league of nations. If the bolshevik
forces prevail in Russia those little
states-nay, Russia itself-Will fall
into the hands of Germany" he con-
tinued
Mr. Churchill defended the action
of the allies in sending troops to
Russia, and said if the five great
powers had been able to act in con-
cert things would not be as they
are there" He declared that more
than 100000 bolsheviki were being
held in check by the allies, and "if
the British government contributed
in any way toward that result l,
for one, rejoice"
Mr.. Churchill predicted an entire
change in the situation within a
fortnight, but did not explain what
it might be.

Bears Sympathetic Attitude.

II is understood Col. Robert n. Har-
per. president of the Chamber of Com
merce. bears sympathetic attitude
toward continuance of the work of
the centers without impairing of their
usefulness through pairing down the
force of paid workers. and an appeal
may be made through the chamber
for funds.
Community secretaries are paid sal
aries of $1,000 year, and other as
sistants are paid small amounts, while
Miss Norton receives larger amount.
Unless provision is made for these
salaries, several of the secretaries
will have to be released and the work

READY TO START
CONCRETE ROAD
Agreement as to the Route Now
Only Point to Be
Settled by Com
mittee

It can be announced definitely that
the airline route for the proposed
concrete road between Baxter and
Picher has been abandoned and that
the road will follow section lines.
There are two routes being discussed
BY the Joplin District Road people,
viz. Twelfth street out Of Baxter
Springs and following the old road to
the field. The other Is Ninteenth
street out Of Baxter and following the
old road.
A conference to discuss the route
question was held in the Chamber Of
Commerce at Joplin, at 10 o'clock this
morning, with representatives pres
ent from the Baxter Chamber Of Com
merce, the Tri-State Mine operators
and the Joplin Special Road district.
M. v. Eardley presided.
In addition to these two routes the
Baxter representatives, through
Charles Wells, have suggested the
Chetopa road west from Baxter to the
Blake road, thence to the Blue Mound.
The following committee was named
by Mr.. Farley to make an investiga-
tion relative to the different routes
and report at the earliest possible
moment-Charles Wells, w. w. Lati-
mer and ]. w. Kaltenbach.
It developed at the Joplin confer
ence that there is $4,000 on deposit
in the Miners National bank there to
spend on this concrete road in Kansas
and that unless q route is picked in
the near future, the money is to be
returned to the men in Joplin who
subscribed it.
Present at the conference today
were Howard Murphy, treasurer of
the Joplin road district; Charles
Wells, W w. Latimer and M. v.
of the Tri-State operators;
W. S. Murdoch, C. M. Sarchet and ].
W .Kaltenbach, of the Baxter Cham
Der of Commerce. Mr.. Eardley has
named a committee, composed Of w.

the bad roads season, but the big
snow storm that has just fallen is q

be practically impossible for the neat
