MING FIGHT FOR WESTERN TRAVEL

MANY AGENTS VISIT RICHMOND TO SOLICIT PASSENGERS FOR THE WEST. C 3KPETITI0N VE3Y STRONG 0g to Mild Weather in Thi, Sec tion of the Country People Wil ling to Stay Home. The great railways out of Chicago n::d St. Louis for the West, are making a strong bid for passenger traffic this winter, and in every state each of these roads maintain branch passenger offices, with traveling agents, who visit personally many of those who have written to the office for information. On account of the fine weather which has characterized this winter, the travel to California and other western states has been smaller than usual this year, and the passenger Agents are granting concessions to prospective passengers to induce Ihem to go west. Climate is described as resembling that of the "Garden of Eden" and with the

"personally conducted" part of the to be known as the New York Spectrip specialized, many are induced to ial, reaches the metropolis at 9 a. m. po. and the Twentieth Century Limited, It is a fact, however, that the west- ) the New York Central, pulls in a rrn roads are giving better service half hour later. Each train can make this year to tourists than ever before the distance in less time and it is and better trains, better time and probable that occasionally time will better rates are to be had from any be clipped off the schedule on both

of the seven or eiirht roads to Cali- i fornia. Richmond is visited nearly every day by one or more traveling passenger agents. RAILROAD NOTES The Portland and Muncie Traction Company will soon be operating its cars between these two cities, and in n short time the line will be continued across the Ohio line and over to Celina, Ohio, to meet the line of the Western Ohio Electric Ry. This will mean one more interstate electric road, of which there are now several, and those which were built first will have a hard time holding on to their present business. The acquisition by the Standard Oil of the C. II. & D., is causing a great deal of comment in the financial world, and it is considered a great stroke of enterprise on the part of Rockfeller to have purchased the road which runs through his oil eld. ' C. F. Pierce, formerly a rate clerk for the Queen and Crescent Rr., has accepted the position of Chief Clerk to W. B. Calloway, general agent of the C, IT. & D. Mr. Calloway formerly lived in this city and was connected with the C. C. & L.

is now taking steps to regulate the rate on passenger trains to two cents a mile and it looks as if such a law i would be passed. Several prominent members of the House and of the Senate have expressed themselves as being in favor of such action, and although the railroads are going to fight it, such a law will probably be made. DAILY RAGE BETWEEN TRAINS FROM COLUMEUS, OHIO, NEW YORK CITY. TO Pennsylvania and Big Four Trains Now Leave Ohio City at the Same Time.

There is to be a daily race to New blocked for the time being by the York from Columbus, Ohio, between ( stand taken by the Dayton & Westlimited trains on the Pennsylvania ern and the Ohio Western, which

and New York Central lines (or Big Four.) A change in the time of the Pennsylvania train makes it leave Columbus each day at 5:45 p. m., the exact time of the leaving of the train on the Big Four, and from there to New York City the race is an almost even one. The Pennsylvania train, which is roads. The trip from Richmond to Columbus can be made in about two hours and three quarters, making the total running time between this city and New York, about eighteen hours. 161ST INDIANA TO GET MONEY. It is expected that the long, expected check from the War Department for the services of the IGlst Regiment of Volunteers, during the Spanish American War has been drawn and that the soldiers will get the money soon.

MERGER BLOCKED FOR TIME BEING

SO SAYS AN OFFICIAL OF DAY TON AND WESTERN TRACTION LINE. TWO LINES ARE HOLDING BACK Dayton and Western and The Ohio Western Want More Money Than is Offered. An official of the Dayton & Western who was in this city yesterday stated that the plan of limited car service, between Indianapolis and.

Detroit, had almost been given up';". 11VIV1 and that the merger of the lines con-1 PX " .. n , .

I necting the two cities, had been runs from Dayton to Lima These two lines are the missing links in the great Morgan, Murdock, Scheff system, which it is -said now controls all traction lines from Detroit to Lima, from Richmond to Indianapolis and from Indianapolis to Lafayette. There is no doubt that the two lines which are holding out will join the system, if they get their price but it is said that up to the present time the consideration offered has not been sufficient. On February IS, the traction line between Columbus, O., and Dayton, will be sold and the Murdock crowd will be strong bidders for the property. If an arrangement can be effected with the Ohio Western a limited car service between Cincinnati and Detroit will soon be put on, probably next week. A SOUTHERN INDIANA CLUB.

BY LEAVING HIS FORTUNE ROCKEFELLER COULD NOT ATONE FOR HIS WRONGS. So Says Attorney General Hadley of Missouri Has Set an Example To Other Financiers. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 12. Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general of Missouri, in an interview here is quoted as saying that if John I). Rockefeller, at his death, should leave his entire possessions to the nation it would not atone for the wrong, which he alleges, the Standard Oil country has done to the country. "Suppose that John D. Rockefeller on his death left all his Standard Oil possessions as a gift to the nation to be held in trust permanently for all moral wrong he has done the country. It would not atone for the distinctlv dishonorable and commercial ly immoral trend the success of Standard Oil methods has given the trading and financial organizations of America. In my own recent investigations I have had the most positive and actual proof of the demoralizing influence of Standard Oil in Missouri. "Railroad preferences still exist. It costs 5 cents more to freight oil from St. Louis to Kansas City than it does from Kansas City to St. Louis. But Standard Oil has a refinery at Kansas City. Standard Oil is shipped in iron barrels and independent in wooden barrels. Iron barrels are heavier, but the rate n wooden barrels is one class higher. "Railroad officials have been bribed here. The spy system is common. Every trick and turn that can be adopted to evade the law is nsed without scruples.' WILLIAM RICHTER MARSHAL. Hagerstown, 'Ind., Feb. 14. William Richter was chosen -town marshal at a meeting of the: town auncil Monday night, and the salary , of the office was--naaterial.lv increased.

The writer had lost the original gimy let, but having been converted at a " recent revival meeting, he felt his conscience troubling him, and had purchased a similar tool and forwardit.
