PULLMAN CARS ARE

EO BY CLERKS Story that $5,000 a Year Employes Do It Is Myth, Officials Say. The mystery of the naming of the Pullman sleeping, dining and parlor cars was explained to the members of the state board of tax commissioners by J. D. Ferguson, representing the Pullman company. "One of the by-questions always asked me whenever I lay myself open to questions concerning the business of the Pullman is, 'Who names the cars?' It is popularly supposed that some one is employed by the year to name the cars. One report is that the employe is a woman, and that she is paid $5,000 a year for the work. However, the person who names the car is like the conductor of the 'sob' department of certain kinds of newspapers it is anybody who happens to be on the desk. The Pullman cars are named by the clerk who happens to be in charge of the naming departmen when a car la to be named. "There Is something of a system In naming them. I recall that all these cars of one line are named for flowers. Another is named from a line of ancient Egyptian kings. Other names are chosen haphazard. At any rate no one la paid $5,000 a year for naming them. If the company were paying that and got the kind of names it does I would, to say the least, have my own idea about the returns on the outlay. Mr. Ferguson said it was impossi ble for him to give an adequate idea of the earnings of the company in Indiana. The proceeds from strictly interstate business, he said, amounted to $29,000 during the fiscal year which closed July 21, 1910. Interstate business is not computed in the Pullman office according to the operation over the roads in any one state, except where the laws of the state require it for assessment purposes. This was done in California, he said, where the company has one hundred clerks computing the necessary data for the state tax board. Mr. Ferguson said his company did not expect the state board of tax commissioners to restrict the Indiana assessment to the interstate business, but that it expected to pay a reasonable tax for interstate business crossing the state. He was unable to give the board any definite basis for determining the amount. The net earnings of the company from its sleeping, dining, and parlor car service during the last fiscal year, he said, were $11,000,000. The gross earnings amounted to $35,000,000.. The geographical situation of Indiana and the fact that the northern and southern parts of the state had so little in common that there was little call for interstate Pullman business was given by Mr. Ferguson as the probable cause for the eomparitively small amount of such business, the greater part of which is between this city and Evansville. ELOCUTIONISTS MEET Annual New York Conven tion Opens Today. (American News Service) Rochester, N. Y., April 21 Elocu tionists and teachers of elocution from all parts of the state are in attendance at the 12th annual convention of the Xew York State asoclation of Elocu tionists, which opened at East High school for a two-day session.

The program provides for sessions in the morning, the afternoon and the evening of both days of the convention, which will close tomorrow evening with a series of recitations, giving interpretations of some of the best known selections for use in schools.

WORKS ASSAULTED LORIMER SEATING California Senator in Maiden Speech Says Inquiry Showed Frauds.

Washington, April 21. Senator Works of California, who has been proposed by the progressive senators as a member of a special committee to conduct a new inquiry into the right j of Mr. Lorimer to occupy a seat in the i senate, in his maiden speech Thurs-; day declared that the investigation j made last session disclosed corrup-1 tion and the purchase of votes. Sen- j ator Heyburn of Idaho who was a j member of the committee which made j the investigation, and became a stanch advocate of Mr. Lorimer,' attempted to call the new senator to J order, claiming that he had violated! the rules of the senate, but Senator Cummins came to Works' defense and quickly Bubdued Mr. Heyburn. Pleads for Honesty. In making a plea for honesty in politics Senator Works referred to the Lorimer case. "This widespread uprising against ; the corruption that if persisted in, eventually must overthrow our republican form of government," he said, ! is founded on the most convincing evidence that corruption is eating at the very vitals of the republic and j threatening the perpetuity of our free institutions. We need not go outside i of this chamber to find evidence of this fact. The pages of the Congressional Record of the last few months will disclose a condition that has brought ihe whole nation to shame. It was charged that the election of a member of this body was procured by corrupt practices and the bribery of votes in the legislature. I need not enter upon a discussion of the evid ence in that case. It is enough to say that it was clearly and sufficiently shown that corrupt practices had been resorted to in the election and that some votes had been purchased." Senator Heyburn raised the point of order that the speaked had violated the rules of the senate by reflecting upon the course of the committee which investigated the Lorimer case. The senator cannot impugn the hon or or the integrity of any senator or any meber of a senate committee," he said. "Neither have I done so, nor at tempted to do so," promptly responded the new California senator. "When the senator reads his re marks in the Record he will find he has done so," said Mr. Heyburn in response. Cummins to Defense. "I am amazed," said Senator Cum mins, "that any question of violation of the rules should have been raised. No line or expression of the California senator's speech constitutes any reflection on either a senator or a senate committee, and no analysis will disclose any such reflection." While not making a ruling, Senator Townsend of Michigan, who occupied the chair, expressed the opinion that the California senator understood and would observe the rules of the senate. In defending the Arizona constitu tion Mr. Works took occasion to warn the Republican party that unless it should heed the demand made upon it for an indorsement of the initiative, referendum and recall, "earnestly demanded by an overwhelmingly majority of our people of all political parties," the party would go down to de feat and final destruction and obliv ion." RULES MOTHER-IN-LAW IS AN INCUMBERANCE Richmond, Va., April 21. That a man must take the best of a mother-in-law after he takes one, is the opinion of Judge Crutchfield, of the local police court. He issued an edict to this effect when Morris Connelly was brought before him charging with failing to support his wife. The young man declared that he was willing to "put up with his wife" but not his mother-in-law. He agreed to take care of his child, a baby girl, and was ordered to give $3 a week toward its support. "If you are dissatisfied with the incumberances that come with a bride, you have my sympathy," said the court, "but it must always be kept in mind that this matrimonial business is for better or for worse."

RESEARCJH MISSION To Prove Mines of King Solomon Not Legendary.

Berlin, April 21. Dr. Seigert is actively engaged in preliminary preparations to cross the great desert of Sahara in a dirigible balloon. Prominent geographers and meteorologists are helping him in his scientific calculations and his choice of an airship. Count de la Vaiux, the famous French aeronaut, had the same purpose a j few years ago, but gave it up because j airships had not sufficient protection j against the sun's rays. Dr. Seigert j confidently expects to make the trip he has laid out about nine hundred , and fifty miles in thirty-four hours. His aerial vessel's engines will give the craft a speed of eighteen and a half miles an hour; besides, Dr. Siegert is counting on twelve miles an hour more by the wind. To the unimaginative the Sahara is only an illimitable, arid waste, but from it have come legends of buried cities of incalculable antiquity and tales of immense, hidden hordes. Dr. Seigert wishes to clear up the mystery surrounding the expedition of Browne, the English explorer of a hundred years ago, and to investigate the romantic story of Rolfe, who found traces of a great road running out in the desert until the sand obliterated them. What lies beyond that lost track? Whither did that great highway lead, and of what character were the people who constructed it? These question, which have been put so often, are supposed to have inspired the plot of Rider Haggard's romance "King Solomon's Mines;" at any rate, they appear to Dr. Seigert to be well worth answering. The headquarters of this expedition will be in the Nile valley. From it the airship wjll sail about three hundred and ten miles to the oasis district in the desert. In an oasis a depot will have been prepared with sylinders of gas, spare screws and other fittings everything needed to repair repair any damage that may have been or may be done to the craft. From the depot the dirigable will start on her real flight of more than six hundred miles over the "undiscovered country." Having traversed it, Dr. Seigert will attempt either to reach the coast or to return to the Lybian oasis. The expedition's cost is estimated at $250,000. WOMAN SMUGGLER IS CONSCIENCE STRICKEN Washington, April 21. A woman smuggler, conscience stricken, sent to Secretary MacVeagh a $10 bill, with the suggestion that the treasury invite contributions of that sort and relieve many a restless soul of a burden. Tho woman, signing herself as "L. D." wrote from Baltimore, saying she had smuggled some dutiable goods when her conscience was not so well educated. "You can help many 'born smugglers' atone for misdeeds if you will show them how to refund," she wrote. The Japanese government proposes the construction of various narrowgauge railways in rural districts with an aggregate length of Approximately 150 miles.

AIDED ORPHAN BUT DEPRIVED HERSELF Aged Spinsters Sacrifice on $2 a Week Is Brought to Light.

St. Louis, M., April 21. Miss Sarah Robinson, 61 years old, has for thirteen years lived on $2 a week. Meanwhile she has saved the rest of her meager earnings as a seamstress for the future care and education of some orphan girl whom she desires, after her death, to take her name. She is an English woman and gives evidence of gentle breeding. Her remarkable self-sacrifice was brought to light through a loss which endangered her savings. An old mahogany box containing: her certificate of deposit for the amount of her savings, $931.50. and the will in which she bequeathed the whole amount to the Christian Missionary society for the benefit of the future little Sarah, disappeared a few days ago from its accustomed place in her small, bare room in the rear of 1415 North Thirteenth street. Hurrying to the Boatman's bank when she discovered her loss, Miss Robinson was rejoiced to learn that the money was intact. But to regain possession of it she was required to advertise the loss of the deposit certificate and she will also have to give bond for twice the amount of the deposit. She began advertising: immediately and notified the police of her loss. "It was my wish, as a young woman, to have a little girl of my own," the grayhaired little woman said, "but It was not meant that this wish should be granted .for no man ever asked ma to marry him. Whenever I would put a dollar away I would say to myself, 'There's a pair of shoes for little Sarah,' or 'There's a book for herThat made it easy and I was surprised to find how much I could save."
