OfBqlal announoamant baa bean ma4a at local Burlington headquarters that John Franola. general paaaenger and tloket agent of tha B. A. M., will go to Chicago, June J. to tak. the poaiUoa et general paaaenger agent of the Burlington lines eaat of the Misaourt river, and that U W. Wakeley, general paaaahsr agant Of tb. Missouri llnea of tha' Burlington, with headquarters In BU LiOula, wtU ooroa to Omaha to taka the position made vacant by tha promotion of Mr. Francis, and W. A. IaIot, who has been assistant general passenger agent at Chicago, will go to St. Louis with tlie title of assistant general passenger agent of all tha llnea eaat of the Mlaaonrl river. Mr. I'ranclaj who Is well and favorably known In this olty, entered railroad Service In Preecott. I Onl. . In 1375, ' aa ticket clerk and talegra pher for the G.ajid Trunk rail way, in lsU ba moved to Lincoln to tak. the position of chief alerk In the dlvlalon superintendent's offlua of tb. Burlington at that point. From there ha was trans ferred to the Omaha headquarters, where In XM be became cliief clerk In the paa aenger department. Ha waa made aaslatant general puasenger agent of the B. M. In 1U5, and general paaaenger agent la iSc. lie la rated with tha beat passenger men in the oouutry. Upon tha removal of Mr. Lalor t. St. Louie tha authority -of the paaaenger de partment at that point will be micn ex tended. Heretofore Mr. Wakeley baa bad Charge of only the Missouri lines, but now tha authority of Mr. Lalor, aa aaalataat general paaaenger agent, will be extended over ail the lines of tha system eaat of the river. . 3be emulal snrwunomant of tha changes la dated May 2ft, and Is signed by P. S. Eustla, paaaenger trafflo manager of all the Burlington llnea. Reports have been published concerning tb. removal of Mr. Francla at Intervals during tha last two yeara, and all of these reports have been founded on fact, as. It la said, that the Intention of tb. management of the Bur lington for a long time has been to reor ganize its paaaenger department. The re port of. Mr. Francis' removal printed In Th. Be. about two months ago originated at tha time that a definite removal of Mr. Francis was decided upon by officials at Burlington headquartera in Chicago, It was known by local officials at that time that he waa to go, but they refused to oon firm th. report until It waa mad. public by Mr. Bustla. Liaalt Paaaea ta Emaleyea. Paaaenger officials of th. various lines centering In Bl Louis have adopted a reso lution not to allow free transportation to their employee Into St. Louis after August L It la said thla action waa taken on ac count of th. expectation that trafflo will be very heavy to the World's fair city after that date and all the apaoe on trains will be needed for those paaaangers Who pay their fare. A request baa been sent out to all con necting lines requesting that they take the same action, and It is believed tlfa request will be compiled with. In case It la all tb. Unas entering Omaha will adopt th. rule and will aak their employes to take their vaoatlona early in the summer ao they oan ride to the fair free. It la believed- If the rule la enforced It will cause a great deal of confusion, aa many employee carry annual paaaea and Inatruotlona probably will have to be Issued not to honor thee, on lines running Into BL Louis. As a great many railroad men will have to go to that city during tb. fair on business It will be dlffloult to establish any rule which will not prevent employes on buatneas connected with their, various companies visiting the city without paying; tbelr fare. Bum. talk la Indulged In. by paaaenger officials of making a special rat. of 1 cent per mill to employes to be good during the entire fafr, but this does not meet with the approval of tka employee aad probably would not prevent the additional eongea tlon of tralna late In the fall. ' Th. Burlington baa announced Its Inten tion of nuking; a rate oX ene fare for tha round trip , from points 100 miles distant or leaa In Iowa and 10 miles or lesa In Ne braska to Omaha for the opening- of the Auditorium. The' rata will apply Jun. I and 1. A rat. of on. and one-third far. will alao be mad. for the muaioal festival from Jun. IS to 23 inclusive. General Manager Bldwell of th. Nebraska and Wyoming division of th. Northwestern and C. C Hughes, general superintendent of th. earns line, have returned from a trip over the road in company with Marvin Hughltt, president of tha Northwestern system.
