Topeka has a boy chess player who
has an unbroken record in his favor
His name is Edwin T. Huling and he is
not yet IS years old He has already
beaten the best chess players in Topeka
and the mysteries OF this intricate game
have been mastered by him while men
have studied and worked all their life
time and still have not become success
full chess players.
Governor Lewelling is something Of a
chess player. He enjoyed nothing better
than a game Of chess with some one at
The statehouse. because he was always
successful. He heard Of young HuIing
and sent for him. The governor and the
boy sat down on either side of the board
and were both soon deeply immersed in
the game. But the governor studied in
vain He made his best moves only to
find himself checkmated- After trying
several games he acknowledged himself
vanquished
Others met the same fate until young
Huling now has the title of king of To-
peka chess players.

SANTAFE GOSSIP.
New Secret Circular Issued in Reply to
Directors Letter-Other Matters.

Directors Letter-Other Matters.
The protective reorganization com
mittee of the Santa Fe is re-
ported to have issued new
circular in reply to the aggressive
letter of the directors in which they
called for proxies. No copy of this cir
cular has yet reached Topeka, but man
who knew what the circular would say
before it was issued says 1t is the most
pointed and direct of any of the circulars
yet issued. In substantIation of its
charges of incompetency and misman-
agement on the part of the old board, he
says. it cites instances and gives the
names of the officers IN fault.
He says: "The protective committee
has a new clue which they will turn over
to Expert Little. 1t is in regard to
81, 100000 improvement bonds issued for
the beIterment of the equipment of the
road. Nobody has been able to find any
trace or more than 100000 being ex-
pended, and the question is whore the
rest went to.
II do not know, but I think that the
man who knows more about the Santa
Fe shortages than any one else. is A A.
Robinson. Not that he had anything to
do with it. but he had a chance to know
a great deal about such things when he
was the first vice president and general
manager. l believe Mr. Robinson is in
conference with the protective committee
on this subject
Il have hopes that the difference be-
tween the two reorganization commit
tees may be settled or com promised be-
fore the annual meeting in Topeka this
month. 1t will be much better for those
who have the best interests at heart to
work more in harmony. l am told that a
compromise may be agreed upon within
a oourIa 0f vvaaxa -
