FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1922. ABOUT NORMA So Says Tiale Holden, Presi- dent of Road, Despite Re- ports of Strike Inter- ference. CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Hale Holden, president of the Burlington, said to- ps that his reports show railroad service to be practically normal, and that the broadcast rumors concern- ing defective equipments should not alarm the public. “To date there have been no derail- ments or accidents on the Burling- ton system, due to failure in inspec: tion or repairs,” said Mr. Holden. “The fact that we have 119 service- able engines in excess of. our require- and that it hrs not been neces- us to draw on this surplus, the ‘defective equipment’ interrupted service’ reports so far as the Burlington is concerned. In common with most roads we had an adequate number of skilled men in service from the beginning ef the strike, to make all inspections and running repairs necessary to maintain safe train service. For a time our working forces were large- ly confined to seeing that equipment in operation was kept in safe condi- tion. The rapid increase of mechan- ieal forces in the past two weeks has made it possible to give complete over- hauling and rebuilding to some equip- ment in addition to performing cur- rent repair work to cars and engines in service. Five locomotives received heavy repairs and were turned out of our West Burlington shops since August-4. We are holding thousands of empty coal cars in good order on track, awaiting resumption of min ing in our territory. On July-1, the equipment requiring repairs on thit railroad was 9% per cent of the total—slightly above nbr- mal. As the strike advanced, this percentage increased to 12 per cent but with the restoration of our skilled forces, we are again back to 9% per cent—the same figure as on July 1, and we are gaining every day. For instance, on August 1 we repaired 359 cars and on August 5, 951 care 7 ~. wete put back into service. There ‘\nas been no letdown in our inspec: tion service—this work continues to de performed in accordance with in- terstate commerce commission re- quirements. Our shop craft forces now number 8,041 men, 465 new em- ploves having been added yesterday. During July we handled 12,277 cars of freight more than the same month last year and August is showing a similar increase, notwithstanding the SUMMARY OF | NIGHT NEWS WASHINGTON Announcement that an agreement between the United States and Germany provid- ing for, the determination of the amount of claims against Germany was signed in Berlin was made by the state department.

Pretty little Mary Smith, 1£ years old, sat in a comfortable room at the county jail yesterday, Weeping be cause her lover and “near” husband had been taken from her on the eve of their wedding. C. J. Harris, the dashing potential “hubby,” sat in & more uncomfortable cell, his head in his hands, thinking of the cruel intervention of fate in the form of the law. ‘Three other lads, Jack TPDavis, D. F, Hood, and B. EB. Davis, all pals of Harris, sat in the same cell, wondering how soon they would be free from the chain of cir cumstances that bound them. Early yesterday afternoon, feeling that their love for each other was overcoming them, Davis and the young lady made all arrangements for a flying trip to Denver, where the marriage ceremony would be performed. The other three lads were taken as witnesses and the elopment party was ready for the start. Neighbors notified the police de- partment that four desperate men were abducting an innocent little girl against her will, and that had headed east on the Yellows. highway. Motorcycle Officers Carter and McGrew again proved that two wheels are faster than four and over- hauled the party before they had gotten far beyond the limits of the elty.

The girl broke into tears and told her father about their secret love for each other and of the honorable | intentions of all parties, but he was relentless and stated that the com- the county until his case may be heard. The other three were dis- missed by the city police depart- ment as having nothing to do with the alleged abduction. The girl is safe at home in the hands of her father, with the prospect of a mar. | rigge with the man she loves farther away than ever. Authorities when questioned this morning as to the charge and the cBances of prosecuting H:rris, stated that when brought to trial be- fore a jury it is exceedingly doubt- ful whether the plaintiff will be able to prove a case. The police are satisfied that the escapade was only one performed in the name of the “folly of youth,” and that in no way can the incident be called an abduction. ——_—_ CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNCR HERE THURSDAY NIGHT, Democrats Turn Out in Force to Hear William B.
