Mr. Croisan called on Mr. Leo and was told that ho was no member, but Mr. Leo said that ho was willing to do courteous, nnu went ovor tho bids and plans With Croisan. Tho matter was to hnvo romo up nt tho regular meeting Sat urday night, ten days ngo. Thoro was no mooting that night. Tho bids being framed differently, tho commlttoo had not decided what to do and had informed Korberkcr that ho must measure up tho Job nnd put In a bid for a stipulated amount.

The railroad into bill, which was approv ed by President Roosevelt on Juno 29, wont Into effect today. Although tho railroads hnvo beon granted an oxtonslon ot Unto for tho enforce ment of Rome of tho provisions of tho lnw, tho companies hnvo found It quite convenient to cuforco tho provision which prohibits tho Issuing of froo pnssos nnd terminates the validity of thoso already issued. Aftor toduy tho railroads will refuso to acknowledgo tho validity of passes over any of their lines. Tho railroads hnvo raised n great many objections to somo ot tho pro-. vIsIoiih of tho new law and it nil their demands for changes In tho law, or nt least, temporary non-on-forcomont of ' certnln provisions should ho granted It would lonvo tho conditions practically as thoy were before tho rato law was passed. Tho only feature which tho railroads wore prompt to nccopt wns tho pass feature. As the passos Issued by tho railroad companloi aro usually Is sued to January 1, und aro supposed to bo valid until tho end of the year, It was believed that tho law against passos would not bo enforced until Jnn. 1, of next year. Hut tho aboli tion of passos monnt money Into tho pockets ot tho railroads and, for that reason thoy could not soo any good roason to delay tho enforcement of that foatmo. At tho same time, somo of tho westorn rnllronds pro tend that they nro opposed to this particular feature, giving ns their roason, Unit under the new law It will bo Impossible for them to Issue passes to land agents and prospectlvo laud buyers lu tho sparsely settled districts ot tho wesi and that result would ho great delay lu the settling ot those district. Tho en forcomont of tho new law will undoubtedly lend to a largo number ot complaints and law suits started for tho purpose of testing tho validity of certain provisions of tho law. Many such complaints nro al ready lu tho hands of the Interstate commerce commission and will boJ considered with tho greatest possible sieed. Mu'ny of those complaints In volve domnnds for the lowering of rato charges and these will bo taken up nnd disposed first. Tho Ponnsyf vnnlit railroad will probably bring tho first ciiso to test tho validity ot tho law hoforo tho courts. It la un derstood that Hie first question to be tested will bo whether tho Initial carrier shall bo hold responsible for damage or loss to tho shipper. Of Interest to Sick People.
