GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT IN RAILWAY
ENTERPRISE MADE BY N.Y. CENTRAL
Four Splendid Passenger Trains. Known as Red- White. Blue and
Green. Lavishly Equipped. Bringing Hundreds of Delegates
Across the Continent-Agent F. M. Byron Greets
Visitors Upon Their Reaching State Line
■ To organize five special train par
ties for a trip across the continent and
return is no small feat in enterprise,
and just that has been accomplished
by the New York Central lines on the
occasion of the twenty-sixth annual
convention of the American Bankers'
association to be held in this city this
week. For the meeting of this asso
ciation held in San Francisco six or
seven years ago the New York Central
brought one train to the coast, but
It was reserved to this day to multiply
that performance by five.
Arrangements for this pilgrimage
were begun over a year ago and even
before it was a settled fact that Los
Angeles would be favored as the place
for the meeting. Since then the work
of organizing the parties, providing the
equipment and arranging schedules
has continued up to the present time,
culminating in five special trains, in
the makeup of which no details have
been overlooked making for the com
fort and entertainment of their pas
sengers.
Pour of these trains started from
Now York city with a section from
Boston and consists in the aggregate
of the following 1 cars: Four New York
Central baggage cars, four buffet li
brary or club ca,rs, eight dining cars,
one twelve-section drawing room
stateroom car, one sixteen-section car,
one seven-drawing room car, nine
seven-stateroom and double drawing
room cars, ten ten-room compartment
cars, one seven-stateroom observation
car, three, six-stateroom drawing room
observation cars.
This equipment constitutes a coun
terpart of the world-famous Twentieth
i Century Limited. The gentlemen's
clUb car contains barber shop and
bath, and in each of the observation
cars Is an upright piano player, in
addition to which a stenographer and
ladies' maid are in attendance on each
train. As a matter of course, the cars
are electrically lighted, each berth
also being provided with individual
reading lamps, and it is only neces
sary to add that every car in its finish
land design illustrates the highest
product of the car-builder's art.
Arrangements incident to the organ
ization of these four trains and their
personnel have been from the incep
tion under the supervision of the com
mittee on transportation, consisting of
Charles Elliot Warren, chairman. Lin
coln National bank, New York; David
H. Pierson, Bank of Manhattan com
pany, New York; Hiram R. Smith,
Bank of Rockville Center, vßockville
Center, L. I.; Ledyard Cogswell, New
York State National Bank, Albany, N.
V.: E. S. Tefft, First National bank,
Syracuse, N. Y.
These gentlemen have worked in co
operation with L. F. Vosburgh, general
passenger agent New York Central
lines in New York city, and E. J.
O'Hayer, general eastern passenger
agent. Mr. Voßburgh, who lias lately
received the appointment to the posi
tion he now occupies, has been, in his ■
capacity as railroad man, identified
With the banks and bankers' associa
tion for a great many years. While
representative of the lines in Chicago
he took special train parties yearly tn
the conventions of this association,
having organized during the last year
of his Stay there as general agent a
party of 316 bankers from the west
attending the annual meeting in Wash
ington. That party, however, com
prised but two trains, so Mr. Vosburgh
may regard the present event as his
culminating achievement in this line.
II was his happy idea to designate
these trains by the term red. white,
blue and green ions, thus avoiding
any chance nt confusion In operation.
Oeorge W. Daly, George W. Higgins,
P. M. l.ahm and Clarence Eaton, rep
resentatives of the New York Central
lines in tin- ca.*t, accompany these
trains severally from starting point to
finish, looking after all details en
route.
VARIorM SOCIETIES lOKMK.n
On the trip out a number of clever
.schemes were devolved for the diver
sion of the passengers and as a means"
of beguiling any touch of monotony
that might otherwise have been ex
perienced on the long trip. State so
cieties were formed, entertainment
committees were appointed and .■< log
kept in which were recorded all the
amusing or eventful incidents of the
journey. At Home of the entertainments
that were organized a dpgree of talent
both musical and histrionic was de
veloped, and in a degree which here
-1 .fore thG possessor himself had prob
ably In en bul partially ware.
These four trains take In the Grand
canyon, also spend the final day at
FtedlandH ami Riverside, where ar
rangements have he. made by F. M.
Byron, local representative of the New
York Central lines, and co-operating
with tho hoard of trade and bankers'
committee at those points for their.en
tertalnment. ii' turning by the north

many beach towns scattered along the
coast and in the distance the snow
capped mountains. Mount Kcho and
old Baldy arid here and there a gllmpsa

CALLS ATTENTION TO THE
IMMORALITY IN SCHOOLS
SAGAMORE BEACH, Mass., Oct. 1.
—A conference on the moral and re
ligious training of- the young has
opened here, the delegate* being wel
comed by the Rev. Dr. Francis E.
Clark of Boston, founder of the Chris
tian Endeavor society.
Dr Clark said that the conference
had been called to consider methods of
Riving young people the moral and re
ligious training which .they needed,
and added: . :
"My attention has been particularly
drawn to this subject by some alarm-
Ing but well authenticated reports or
flagrant immorality in our public
schools and by the well known fact
that in gome of our colleges even gross
immorality and drunkenness are no
bar to a degree If only examinations
can be paused and percentages of
scholarship are barely tolerable."
