HEAVY DEMAND FOR RAILS
Dull Times of Past Eighteen or More
Months Hare Passed and Busi
ness Shows Steady In
crease in AH Lines.
CHICAGO. May 14. (Special.) Slns
multiplied today showing the return of
prosperity. Believing that the busi
ness condition of the country will soon
become normal, the railroads have be
gun to order equipment and material
more grenerously than they have done
since the tremendous falling- off In ton
nage nearly IS months ago.
Reports from equipment and supply
companies show that the present
has been the record week for that pe
riod In orders placed, and in inquir
ies by railroads' for equipment and
materials. Many millions of dollars'
worth of cars have been ordered, and
generous inquiries have been made for
additional equipment and for steel
rails.
Ivong Iilst of Orders.
Among the orders given or contem
plated during the present week are the
following:
The Pennsylvania 1s In the market
for 600 refrigerator cars; the Western
Pacific, which is the latest to como
Into the Gould system of roads, is ask
ing for bids on 1500 freight cars to
be used in the West; the New York
Central has ordered 3000 gondola cars
of large capacity; the Santa Fe has
placed an order for 600 automobile and
furniture cars: the Great Northern has
placed an order for 500 refrigerator
cars: the ' Missouri Pacific is in the
market for more than 2000 freight cars
of all kinds; the Cotton Belt is going
to build BOO freight cars In its own
shops; the Lioulsville & Nashville has
ordered material for 300 freight cars
which It purposes building In its own
shops; the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Day
ton Is to order 10 switching engines
the Pacific Fruit Express has .ordered
1500 steel under-frame refrigerator
cars, each of 40 tons capacity, and the
Hock Island Is contemplating an order
of 22.000 tons of 85-pound steel rails in
addition to the 18,000 tons which have
been received this year.
Big Change at Pullman.
Work was today begun by the Pull
man Company on a 13.000.000 improve
ment of the shops at Pullman, which
will make them the largest car con
structlon plant In one unit in the
world.
The expenditure was decided upon by
the board recently In the belief that by
the time the additions to the work are
completed, which will be In ' Septem
ber. the company wul be able to pro
duce an output of between 40,000 and
50.000 freight and passenger cars
year.
The capacity of the plant Is to be
Increased two-thirds, the Increase being
entirely in the line of steel car con
structlon.
Jobs for 10,0 0 0 Men.
One of the first orders which will be
turned out by the new shops will be
that of the Pennsylvania Railroad for
300 all-steel passenger cars. This
means the employment at Pullman of
between 10,000 and 12.000 men practi
cally under one roof. The maximum
number heretofore employed at the
shops was 7000, during the banner year
of the company, when 25,000 cars were
constructed.
All the roads centering in Chicago
report a steady improvement in traffic
conditions since the beginning of May.
The movement of general merchandise
has increased greatly, the West being
a free buyer of almost everything that
is classed under this head.
The only lines that have shown no
Improvement are grain and coal. Hold
ers of the former seem to fear a scaro
ity before the next crops can be gar
nered, and they are unwilling to mar
ket their property at present. South
western lines report that the movement
of cotton has Increased.
It Is universally expected that this
improvement will be permanent. Noth
fng short of & crop failure can inter
fere with It, and, taken as a whole,
crop conditions at the moment are
highly satisfactory.

Cannon Addresses Tuberculo
sis Convention in East.
BOVINE PERIL BELITTLED
National Association Members Be
lieve More Children Contract
Plagne From Parents Than
From Poor Milk.
WASHINGTON, May 14. Speaker Can
non is not a bit afraid of Dr. Osier and
his old-age theory. He told Dr. Osier so
today during an address before the Na
tional Association for the Study and Pre
vention of Tuberculosis.
'Dr. Osier, I have reached the age of
61, and I shake my flst in your face," he
said.
Dr. Osier laughed heartily at this defl.
ine Speaker hearkened back to the
days of his childhood, when bathtubs
were almost unneara or, and the snow
would sift In and cover those lying in
bed.
"We had plenty of fresh air then on
the Wabash and everywhere on the
frontier before the railroads," he said.
Favors More Playgrounds.
Mr. Cannon favored more playgrounds
for children, but urged that the legislator
be dealt with gently If he did not do
everything wanted - of him.
Dr. Osier in his address said tubercu
losis no longer was a problem of the doc
tors, and that it probably would take
two or three generations to reduce its
ravages to the present rate of typhoid.
Dr. Osier congratulated the association
on having awakened the public. Legisla
tures, philanthropists and physicians.
Three Lines of Effort.
Three things remained to be done, said
Dr. Osier. The first was to keep the pub
lic awake, the second to obtain more
money, and the third to arouse the in
terest of more men and women, because
the campaign was no longer one entirely
for doctors.
"Whether tuberculosis will finally be
eradicated," he said, "is ever an open
question; but when we think of what has
been done in one generation, how the
mortality in many places has been re
duced 100 per cent. It is a battle of hope,
with victory in sight."
' Milk Danger Belittled.
That there is a tendency to overrate the
danger to children from milk from tuber
culosis cattle was " the decided view ex
pressed today. The subject was exhaust
ively -treated in a joint paper by Doctors
Henry Shaw and Arthur T. Laird, of
Albany, N. Y., who took the position that
the attention of the public should not be
diverted from the great and real danger
of human contagion.
If, they argued, tuberculosis milk was
so virulent as so many declared, it was
difficult to conceive how any children at
all escaped infection. The association of
the - child with tuberculosis parents or
other consumptives, they said, was a
matter of such Importance In the diag
nosis as well as In the prevention of the
disease that every member of a tubercu
losis family should be examined as a
