CHICAGO, Dec., 11— The trials of
railroad presidents who preside over

ings being given here to more than 100,
short lmes whose* employes have peti
tioned the United States Railway La
bor Board for increased pay.
One Texas road, built primarily to
open up a route to some mineral de*
posit beds, has to date the diampion
aard luck tale, according to G. W.
Xanger, member of the,hoard. The
president of the line explained he own
ed 41 miles of track between two ter
minal cities. His fast passenger train
covered the distance in two hours. ■
Bat between the two -, cities Is a
hard surfaced highway, and enterpris
ing auto owners have opened a has
line. The highway, on a direct route, Is
■little more than ^ twenty miles tong*
compared to the railroads' 4L The aa*

t ' -
to bus covers the distance in 40 min
utes, one hgur and twenty minutes
faster than the train, .and charges the
same fare.
The freight outlook he described as
equally bad. A company operating mo
tor trucks with two trailers . to the
truck hauls freight over the highway
faster than the road can by train, de
livers the goods at the merchant’s
store door, and chaises the same tar
iff as the railroad. And on top of his
other troubles it is now estimated that
the mineral deposits which furnish the
/main remaining source of revenue will
bo exhausted within three years.

PLAIN AMERICAN HIGHLY
HONORED.
PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec., 1<V— A col
orful pageant attends the presentation
of a foreign diplomat to the king of
Siam, according to a letter received
here from G. W. P. Hunt, United

ed his own presentation September 6,
*ast The Amrican minister said he
was one of 47 Americans in Bangkok,
a city of 800,000. Of his presentation
at the royal palace he wrote:
“We started across an immense
paved court to the royal entrance.
There was a fanfare of trumpets
two bodies of household troops stood
at attention. The royal colors were
displayed and with uncovered heads
ve passed on to the stone staircase
which for the occasion was laid with a
aeavy red plush carjjeting. Along
ach side were stationed guards with
.ncient looking halberds.
“We were ushered into a large ro
tunda. Our hats were left on a table.
Then we tamed to the right mounted
a few more stairs and came into an*
othr long room with lofty windows
along one side. Between the windows
./ere niches in which stood knights in
armor (without the knights themsdv- k
js, of course.) Along the other side of 1
this long room or passage there was a I
row of beautiful marble pillars and be
yond them a large rock. At the end of
vhe corridor stood nine chamberlains,
rather great nobles, resplendent in
rich dress and ablaze with orders on
dieir breasts.
“Suddenly, folding doors opened as
if by unseen hands and I walked into
the presence of the only despotic mon
arch left in this world. And as if be
fitting the xeception of an envoy from
the greatest republic on earth, he was
! dressed very simply in a long frock
coat
“The Prince D, who is at the head
of the foreign office, presnted me and
retired to the rear of the room while I'
read to the king, as etiquette requires,
my brief speech and he replied in Si
amese in like manner.
“When this cremony was done, he
smiled and we sat down had our
little talk, fcr the king, you should
know, speaks perfect English. He is
, short of statute, like all Siamese, is
quite plump, and impresses one as
oeing a real chap."
