The two steel passenger cars dam
aged in the Pennsy wreck near Dublin
last week, were brought to the Pennsy
East Yards for temporary repairs.
The Richmond shops We're not equip
ped to handle the day car repairs. The
car was sent to Columbus.
The Pullman sleeper "Manver" was
damaged to an estimated 81 800. The
trucks of the car, brake lining, coup
lings, windows and several heavy cast
ing about the body, were all damaged.
The car will be temporarily repaired
so that 1t can be sent to the Pullman
shops at Chicago.
The Richmond yards are prepared
to make all repairs on freight cars, but
only such repairs as fixing couplings
and brake bands and repairing win
dows can be made on passenger cars.
All repairs can be made to locomotives
but heavy parts have to be sent here
from Columbus or Altoona.
Albert w. kittle, car repair foreman
at the east yards, has been called to
the offices of the superintendent of
motive power at Columbus. He will
work out of that office on special as
signmentS. Whether or not this as
signment is temporary is unknown.
Kittle is well versed in all depart
ments of car repair work and the pres

Telegraph Companies Send
Money! to Europe Cheap

Telegraph cables have it all over
Uncle Sam when it comes to trans
ferring money to foreign countries.
The increased value of the American
dollar, as compared with the units of
coin in other countries makes this
true.
Uncle Sam, in sending money orders
to foreign countries uses the official
rate Of exchange, while the telegraph
companies use the current commercial
exchange rate.
An example of the saving can be
shown by the exchange rate to Eng
land. Uncle Sam charges $146 to
send 80 pounds sterling to England.
Telegraph rates make it possible to
send the same amount by telegraph
for Sill, Or at a saving of $35.
The greatest saving in sending mon
ey to foreign countries is made in re-
mittances to Italy. Uncle Sam will
send 100 francs to Italy for $19.40,
while the telegraph offices will send
the same amount for $500, saving the
sender $3.50 on each hundred francs.

suspended on charges of disloyalty on
the opening day of the legislative

pected to be reached until Thursday.
VIII Vote Thursday.
Leaders Of 'the faction favoring
adoption of the majority report rec
ommending the expulsion of all five
socialists, do not desire to vote before

pension resolution. and Lieutenant
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, assembly
man from Nassau, that they cannot be
parties to expulsion of the entire rep

PEOPLE OF EAST
ARE MOVIE FANS
christian Science Monitor.)

The reception given to the touring
cinema out in the east came as a
surprise to the west. Lionel Phillips,
F. R. G. S., says that when, ten years
ago, the first film to travel east of
the Suez canal was shown in Bombay
there were few who prophesied sue
cess for the moving pictures in the
Orient.
1t was argued that the eastern per-
ception was too childlike. too placid
to follow the rapid changes thrown
upon the screen, and what was an
entertainment to the educated persons
of Europe would be displeasing to the
unread millions of the far east.
AS usual, the prophets were wrong.
So great was the interest evinced in
the new play toy that almost before
1t had ceased to be a novelty to the
London child the eastern cinema pro-
| prietor had to remove the seats from
! inside the cinema in order to get rid
of the enthusiastic audiences, who,
| with a total disregard of time, would
| have lived, eaten and slept in the
! magic houses" if steps had not been
taken to drive them away. Today it
is no uncommon thing for patrons to
spend the whole day in cinema

which films in the east are frequently
run right through at one sitting Cor
standing), the 80 or 40 reels taking
eight to ~ hours to project.
Many of the cinemas are mere trav-
cling bands, who wander from village
to village, and give their shows at
the largest hut, or even in the open
| air.
| There is no attempt made to ad-
vertise their coming, except when a
stay is made in the larger towns, but
news travels quickly in the east, and
it is no uncommon sight to find an
| audience of thousands waiting for the
arrival of the camera men.
| On one occasion wandering cinema
band failed to return to the town from
which 1t started. Days passed and no
news came of the fate of the miss
ing men. Then certain regiment
came back from the hills to it's bar

Rock Blasted From Panama

(By Associated Press)

PANAMA, March 30.-Blasting oper-
atoms in the Culebra cut section of
the canal were necessary today before
the British battleship Renown with
the Prince Of Wales on board, could
proceed through the great waterway.
AS the Renown neared the point
where landslides have recently oc-
Cured, boats went ahead and made
soundings, discovering a rock fifty
feet square directly in the course to
be taken by the vessel. After a wait
of two hours the rock was removed at
the risk of dislodging more landslides,
and the Renown was towed through
the dangerous and narrow channel.

England were sacrifice not made in
