Missouri. Kansas and Texas officials
have struck a snag in regard to the is-
suance of passes under the Hepburn
law which promises to cause unlimited
trouble. The trouble is in regard to
the Issuance of transportation to pros-
pective employes.
General attorneys of th,e company
have ruled that the road cannot Issue
passes to men who arc to become em-
ployes, but that the men must be ac-
tual employes at the time the transpor-
tation is given them. The result is
that if the Katy wishes to bring ten
men from St. Iyjuis to Texas to work,
the men must go on the pay roll and
receive pay from the time they take
the train. When they arrive la Denl-
aon the men can, if they desire, walk
into the office of the department
which employed them, demand pay
for the time they have been traveling
and quit
It ia certain that If tbla method ia
employed, the company will be put to
great expense at the hands of tran-
alent workera and will pay out thou-
sands of dollars for which they will
receive no return. If the ..company
does not employ the men until they
arrive at the place of work, It la cer-
tain that they will get very few. .
Another objectionable feature is
that the company cannot give trans-
portation to dlacharged employes who
resign. Before the Hepburn bill went
Into effect, the Katy employed an oper
ator In St. Louts and gave him a pasa
to Deoitran with .the understanding
that if he wished to leave he could
have return tranaportatlon. The oper-
ator recently resigned and asked for
a pass to St. Louis. The company
conld not give it and now the operator
Is threatening suit on contract.
The Katy will probably submit the
points to the Interstate Commerce
Commission and ask for a ruling, es-
pecially aa to the Issuance of passes
to proapectlve employee.

ARLOR MILLINERY
IN DEFENSE OF SENIORITY.
An Old-Tim* Engineer Discusses Caus-
es of R*c*nt Wracks.
Sometime ago the Herald printed a
dispatch from Chicago regarding the
feelings of railroad officials on the
subject of seniority rule which. It was
claimed by the officials, was responsi-
ble for many of the recent wrecks.
An Engineer," writing to the 8L
Louis Globe Democrat answers this
claim with the following interesting
remarks;
In your issue of February 15 there
appeared this article, under heading,
"Seniority Rule Must Soon Be Annull-
ed:"
Chicago, III., February 14.—Railroad
presidents, at conference held here,
unanimously agreed that the constant-
ly increasing wrecks, costing hundreds
of lives and millions of dollars, may
be traced to a lack of discipline among
employes. Under this rule, presidents
and superintendents say they can not
expect loyalty or better service from
the men.
The foregoing article, whether pur-
posely or not, Is wholly misleading
from an engineer's point of view. The
writer Is an engineer of many years'
standing—In fact, was in service when
we bad dirt roadbeds, chair iron, good
ties, small engines and small trains.
The time of trains was slow and engi-
neers told to us* their own judgment.
The trains were also handled by hand
brakes—the use of straight air wst
coming into existence—and in those
dsys there was no such thing as bad
wrecks, with great loss of lire, unless
some wooden bridge went down.
Now, what are the conditions today?
Heavy engines, weighing 160 tons;
heavy tralnB and fast time. Now for
a few facts; The general public has
gone speed crazy, not only in traveling,
hut In everything els*; and the rail-
road presidents and general managers,
In order to satisfy the public; have
gon* crazy on heavy equipment and
fast time; or, in other words, they
have reduced their time between' New
York and San Fraacisco and all other
points to and beyond the limit of
safety.
Just Imagine, If you please, an en'
glne weighing 150 tons, a passenger
train composed of eight, nine or ten
cars weighing about 750 or 800 tons,
and going at a rate of speed of from
fifty to seventy miles an hour. Can
your Imagination picture the Btrain on
two rails held In place by spikes driv-
en into ties under them—and many of
the ties loo rotten to hold the spikes—
and going around curves at this ten
rifle speed? What a strain there must
be on the two rails. Every now and
then you aee an account of a disas-
trous wreck caused by the spreading
of the rails. No comments necessary.
The writer is pulling a fast, heavy
passenger train and knows whereof
he speaks. We have some good equip-
ment, such as the automatic brake
valve, and are just introducing the
high-speed valve, all of which Is con
duclve to safety.
And right now the writer wishes to
make a few statements as to what the
superintendents please to call lack of
discipline. In the first place, the en-
gineer is promoted to passenger ser
vice according to seniority, but is told
If he doesn't make the time he will be
put back on freight and a man will be
put on tho run who will make the
time. The writer personally knows of
several such cases. So seniority cuts
no figure in the case.
Now for a few more facts: Engl
neors Will gcta train order, No. 364,
reading: "All trains will reduce speed
to four miles per hour at mile post 32;
reduce speed to ten miles per hour at
slide near mile post 91, to 8 miles per
hour at bridge 18, and stop for signal
before crossing bridge 22." Now,
there may be several such places on
the division, and yet the engineer
must bring his train to the terminal
on time under any and all conditions,
or he will be called to the superintend-
ent's office to explain why he did not
make the time. If his train la sched-
uled to make thirty-three miles per
hour, under the above conditions he
has got to make sixty miles per hour
while running. On all scheduled
trains there Is no time given to do
work at stations, and the time consum-
ed doing station work, be it two, three
or flye minutes, the engineer has got
to make up and no excuse Is taken.
If he Is not called to the superintend-
ent's office by the time he gets to the
end of his run. there Is a letter from
his M. M. (from the superintendent, of
course) stating: "You lost seven min-
utes between C. and O. and five min-
utes between P. and G. Please ex-
plain the cause." And If , by any
chance he doesn't g t this communica-
tion before he gets home, the ratter
will be there in a few minutes, saying:
"The 'old man' wants yon at the office
right away."
There are a good many causes for
wrecks that could be easily located If
any one high In authority would take
the trouble to look for them. I could
name several more, but will refrain
from rising so at the present tint*, but
the principal one 1r fast time. Thwe
Is one thing I do believe, and that la—
the government will eventually have to
take a hand IS regulating tb* speed at
train* to a minimum of safety, and
when that i« dove the cause of disas-
trous wreck* will have disappeared.
Only a few days ago there was a se-
rious disaster, with twenty-two deaths
up to date and score* of others maim-
ed for life, on an electric train of the
New York Central railroad, and about
the only Information given the general
public wa* that there was to be an In-
vestigation as to the cause of the dis-
aster. The motorrnai) and conductor
were arrested, and what for? Wby,
tor making the time they were sched-
uled to make, some papers stating the
train was running sixty or seventy
miles iter hoar.
Does any sane person think that
such disaster would occur if the limit
of speed was curtailed to a maximum
of thirty miles p$r hour? If that Is
uot fast enough, people should wait
for flying machines
Since writing the above another dis-
astrous wreck has occurred near
Johnstown, Pa.—schedule time, fifty-
two miles per hour. In It any wonder?

JAPANESE IN MANCHURIA.
Many Complex Queationa to B* Ad-
juated Under New R*glm*.
One of the most complex questions
to be adjusted In Manchuria relates
to certain property rlghta under the
new status of Japan. These alleged
rights vary greatly in character, but a
majority consist of real estate and oth-
er vested Interests. For purpose of
classification they may be discussed
under two heads—rights or Interests
which the Japanese claim to have In-
herited from the Russians and those
which they claim to have acquired
since their occupation of the country.
When rights inherited from the Rus-
sians aro mentioned, one naturally
thinks of the Manchurlan railway. But
the railway and Kwangtung lease by
no means limit Japan's claim, some of
which present interesting phases.
Besides the railway, Japan claims
that all concessions formerly held by
Russia revert to her, and has estab-
lished herself in possession of them.
They chiefly consist of mining and
lumber concessions. Not only are all
mines in Southern Manchuria formerly
opened or prospected by the Russians
now in the hands of the Japanese, but
so also are many to which the Rus-
sians never made any claim. During
the Russian occupation, beside land
and buildings purchased from the Chi
nese residents, much real property
was occupied under circumstances
which savored strongly of appropria-
tion. Such actions on the Russians
were strongly criticised in Japan, and
the moral necessity for someone Inter-
vening in behalf of the Chinese Was
pointed out. The Chinese people and
authorities also protested at many of
these actions, and succeeded In some
Instances, In compelling restitution, or
securing payment for the owners. A
good deal of such property fell into
the hands of the Japanese when they
oxpelled the Russians, and the for-
mer ownars for a while rejoiced at the
prospect of recovery. In many In-
stances, where the Russians held title
deeds to property, their validity was
disputed, It being alleged that when
other means failed to Induce a Chinese
owner to sell, coercion was resorted
to. These charges against the Rus-
sians were widely published before the
war, and while they were usually ex-
aggerated, they were by no means des-
titute of truth. Now the shoe is on
the other foot, and the Japanese gov-
ernment Bhows a disposition to claim
as a legitimate inheritance what it
formerly objected to Russia taking.—

Scrlbner.
What Caused the Recent Earthquakes.
Through all geologic time, water, al-
ways water, has been both builder
and destroyer. Water has piled the
mountains up and ground them down
again, with storm and glacier, pulver-
izing the debris, sifting and separating
sand from pebble, and stone from
boulder; cutting deep canons In th*
rock, laying out the plain, throwing
islands into the sea. and giving conti-
nents new coast lines.
Water, too, was the original archi-
tect of the earth's crust. The first
rivera that flowed upon the earth's
surface were red hot. Granite dis-
solved In these floods like sugar In a
cup tf tea. Deep down under the
earth's cntst today, where water haa
mtered through faults, to be entrap-
oed and highly heated, with no room

The vast amount of Bolld matter
ejected at times from, volcanoes Is dif-

ages when In 1883, lta top blew off
with a shock felt clear through the
earth, and with a blast that sent a
wave of air around the earth three
times, while the fine volcanlo dust did
not entirely settle out of the atmos-
phere for more than two years, as was
Indicated by the unusually brilliant
display of red sunsets. This was the
