TrlfcJ BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1917. OMAHA ROADS READY COT TRAIN SERVICE Officials Will Meet Demands of Vatiinst T)ofAn Oouncil for Movement of Troops and Supplies. Omaha railroad officials are work ing in harmony with the executive council of the American Railway as sociation, which has requested that all roads immediately readjust sched ules to as to make available the max imum transportation energy for mov ing troops, food, fuel and supplies. The action off the council has been anticipated and for more than a month traffic and operating officials of the lines of the central west have been in daily session in Chicago, fig uring out schedules for the rearrange ment of the passenger and freight service. Although officials have not given publicity to their findings, it is known that they have made progress. It is said at the Omaha offices of the railroads that the work hai been car ried to such a point that numerous trains on forty-eight hours' notice could be discontinued and that inside of another forty-eight hours the schedulea would be such that the pub lio would suffer little inconvenience. It is said that when the new ar rangement! are in working order trains out of Omaha will have an en tirely new lineup. Interchangeable Tickets. Instead of a dozen east bound trains leaving inside of two hours, the schedule will provide for one train out over one road at a certain hour; perhaps an hour later a train out over another road, and so on dur ing the day. A ticket good over one road will be good over any of the six roads operating trains between Omaha and Chicago. Similar rules will apply in connection with trains moving in other directiona. Operations at all other terminals will be similarly ad justed. It is said that the methods to be employed will release i large num ber of locomotives for freight and oversea aervice. Many branch line trains, will be taken off, and on lines where there are two trains each way daily, a passenger and a freight, probably a mixed train will handle the business. Officials at headquarters of all the Omaha roada have notified retired employes that they are likely to be called back into aervice at any time. Such men as are able physically to stand the work will go onto light runs as engineers, firemen, conductors and brakemen. I Cut Off Excursions. With ' the curtailing of the train service abandonment of all cheap rates is expected to follow. The Ohio and Indiana railroads have set the pace and are out with official circu lars stating that there is a demand for all motive power for freight and government service and that until the war is over cheap rate excursions have been abandoned. Several linea are taking ateps to discontinue the running of parlor and observation cars. Railroad officials fear the curtailing or me passenger service will nave a serious effect on state and county fairs and other summer and fall gath erings. Dog Poisoners and Hen. Roost Raiders Are Busy Forty-eight dogs have been pois oned to death in Omaha within the past two weeka, Humane Officer Hans Nielsen announced Friday. "It is the greatest epidemic of dog poiioning that ever hit the city," he said. "I can't account for it. All I know is that I get reporta about dead doga from every quarter of the city. Whether one persons it poisoning thrm all, 1 don't know." - There'a an epidemic of chicken stealing, also. Within the last two weeks, fourteen coopa have been raided. Mrs. M. Carlton, Fortieth and Fort streets, and C. M. Christensen, 4421 Pacific street, reported to police that their hen houses were robbed Thurs day night Thirteen chickena were atolen from Mrs. Carlton and eleven from Christensen.
