Passengers coming out from Detroit on the evenini; train are kept busy kicklng every night because so many have to stantl up. The railroad has no right to collect rare from those they cannot seat, and f the standers would stand on their rights by rel'using to pay, tliey would soon {CPt enough cars put on to acconimndate them. Why doesn't the M. C. put on an extra car to Ann Arbor on the G. R. cxpress?
