Mr.. +. b. HoughtOn,
Freight Traffic Manager,
The A. T. & S. f. Ry. Co,
Chicago, Illinois.
Dear Sir:
AS a result of negotiations with
this commission, Traffic Manager
johnson of the Colorado g. Southern
Railway has agreed TO establish
rates on coal from the Trinidad dis
trict of S3.tOh per ton to Des Moines,
N. NJ, and S3.4l1a per ton to Clayton,
N. NJ, and to make rates from the
Walsenburg district by applying the
usual differentials over the Trini-
dad rates. This adjustment will
bring about a reduction of "a cents
in the rates TO Des Moines and 401s
cents per ton to Clayton.
Kindly let us know what, if any,
change is contemplated by the San
Ia Fe system in its rates from the
Ration district TO Clayton and inter
mediate points on the cas-. AS you
are aware, practically half of the
coal consumed in Clayton at the
present time comes from the Ration
district. In our opinion the present
rate should be substantially reduced,
and we shall appreciate it IL you
win give the matter your early and
favorable consideration.
Very respectfully.

PEP AND SATISFACTION HERE
IDENTIFY CITY TO BLIND MAN
Difference Compared Wh Other Centers Once apparent
Ben W. elch Who Lost Sight Overnight

Even blind man knows when he
is in Philadelphia.
Let him 60 to New York and in FIVE
minutes he is nervous. irritable, ex
citable. In Boston he is SNUG self
satisfied and almost aloof from the rest
of the world. In Baltimore he is tired
listless and happy go lucky. But when
the feeling that permeates is one Of
content Of general satisfaction, coupled
with proper amount Of pep the
answer is-Philadelphia.
This epitomiaes the geographical
discoveries of Ben Wplch. the actor,
who went blind overnight few weeks
ago. but who is, nevertheless. sticking
to his spotlight and grease paint,
capering about the stage as nimbly as
when he had his full sight.
To Welch each city has its own par.
ticular "feel.
Now that he is unable to see the
bright lights of Broadway he still can
sense the atmosphere Of unrest. of ac-
ton, of unreality of the Great White
Way, just as he can sense the feeling
Of ease. of general satisfaction and OF
contentment which gives Broad street
it's own peculiar Philadelphia atmo
sphere.
Was Stricken Overnight
Welch's plight is one of the peculiar
tragedies Of stagcland. After years OF
battling for foothold in the Land Of
Make Believe and finding it on the
rungs Of the varieties and burlcsque, he
finally was discovered" by Arthur
Hammerstein and overnight was ele.
waited to stardom. Then just as the
plaudits of appreciative audiences were
ringing in his ears he was stricken blind
overnight.
But instead of giving up he merely
took his plight philosophically. fired
his understudy and insisted on continu
ing his role as usual. dancing and sing
ing each night without n mishap and
without any apparent manifestation OF
his misfortune.
Yesterday Welch arrived in Philadel
phia from Trenton. where he played last
week. As he was helped from the Pull
man by Frances White, his CO. star, he
was met by Mrs. Welch and Jack Lip
schultz, q life long Philadelphia friend
with whom he makes his home while
here.
The actors eyes are sightless, but
he looks straight ahead as though per
fectly normal. and it is only his crop
ing motions that indicate his misfor
tune. A ride about the city in the Lip
schultz car and Wclch soon was es
conced in big easy chair on the sun
parlor of his friends Chestnut street
home.

you can tell town. cant see &

cities sound the same. but you can just

or my wife" said Rogers. His clean
cut and almost boyish face showed a
trace Of worry. Sometimes am
afraid it looks pretty bad for Sue" he
explained. such terrible and untrue
stories have been circulated about her.
He has not wavered in his loyalty to
the young woman who told the detec-
tives that she had been present when
the attack began on Henry 4. Peirce,

tive. who was murdered in his apart
