Northern Facihc-HaiIrOad News.
Edward T. Jeffrey of the D. s. R G.
seems to be talked of in connection with
presidency of the Santa Fe more than
any other man, and it is said he is today
in New York to confer with the reorgan-
ization committee.
The Chicago Chronicle of yesterday
contains the following interesting gossip
about Mr.. Jetfery:
"a prominent railroad president, who
returned from New York yesterday, and
who is closely in touch with the reor-
ganization committee of the Santa Fe
company, makes the statement that Ed
ward I. Jeffrey will be the next presi-
dent of the Santa Fe system.

pressed himself one way or 1ther 1t
is true that the new board of directors

The same paper contains the follow

the Santa Fee:
tsThe mention OF Aldace F. Walkers
name yesterday in connection with the
reeeivership of the Northern Pacific

side circles it is understood that while
Mr.. Walker does not consider him.

can at any time step out of his present
receivership into several high salaried
positions Reliable Information is to the
effect that he can become, if he desires,
one of the arbitrators of the board OF con-
troll, growing ont of the eastern presi-
dents agreement
sin this correction it may be worthy
of mention that among railroad officials
Mr. Walkers record during the last eight
years is regarded as remarkable, partic-
ularly as high positions seem 20 come to

Just before the establishment of the
interstate commerce commission Mr.
Walker was a lawyer in Rutland,
VI, in receipt of an ordinary in-
come. Through the influence of Senator
EGmund5 he was made one of the origin
al interstate commissioners at salary of
$500
Nv hile serving in this capacity he was
made chairman of the old presidents

agreement, at a $4,000 salary. Some
time after that fell through he was ap-
pointed chairman of the joint committee

$4,000 a year. Later, while travelling
in Europe, he was appointed, wholly

FOUR MORE SERMONS

Rev. J. B. Thomas preached at the
First Baptist church yesterday morning
from the topic, The Purposes of the
Church" A few of his excerpts were:

designed by God as the temple OF the
Holy Ghost. Our health should be per-
petuated in order that our bodies might

There was no extreme portion that
Christ did not each after.
Mr. Thomas announced that he would

departure. He said that he hoped his

Mr. Isenhart was present in the court
room while Judge Hazen was giving his
opinion. He said afterward to a re-
porter: The reason Judge Hazen said
Dick Hodgins does not wish to try the
case in this county is because he doesn't
want to be punished here at home. They
admit that he is guilty. Why, they've
come to my office and offered to plead
guilty, but 1 am satisfied TO try the case.
"By taking the case to another county
the interest is LOST. Harry Stafford isire-
placed by another county attorney and
he would not care straw about it and
wouldn't half try it. This is what Judge
Hazen meant"

NOT DIVIDED COMPANY.
"sinbad" VIII Re Back in Kansas ln No
vemDsr Entire.

John G. Richie, manager of the stAla-
bama" company, says that the report that
the "Sinbad" company was divided be-
tween Atchison and Leavenworth is alb
surd. He knows both Mr.. David Hender-
son and John I. Harley we'll, and knows
they are not men that would do anything
of the kind They are more likely 10
give an augmented company than a
smaller one. In any case ''Sinbad' is in
fact the same identically as appeared in
Chicago, and will be seen here in No
vember on its return from New Orleans
and Texas
It appears that the statement that the
company WAS divided originated in mis-
take in dramatic paper, which had the

To Permit the Case to BE Taken Ont
of This County, says the Judge.
Dick Hodgins will be tried in Shawnee
county and before Judge Hazen for as
saulting S. B. Isenhart last spring. Last
Thursday Hodgins' attorneys filed an APP
plication fo- change of venue on two
grounds, prejudice OF the citizens, and
bias and pref udice of the Judge. judge
Hazen this morning gave his decision
and declined to grant the change OF
venue on either ground.
In rendering his decision this morning
Judge Hazen said. "Mr Hodgins filed an
| application for change of venue on ac-
count of the prejudice of the citizens OF
! Shawnee county and another application
on account of the bias and the prejudice
of the judge.
81 have already overruled the change
of venue in regard to taking the case
from the county. l do not think the
citizens in a population of $4,000 are go
prejudiced that twelve of them cannot be
secured to try impartially man charged
with Il misdemeanor.
"The other matter in regard to the
! change GA account of the bias and preju-
dice of the judge is a more delicate
matter. l would gladly have nothing to
do with the case if it were question OF
my desires, but it is not and the facts
must be taken into consideration.
"Our supreme court has held on this
that an affidavit of this kind must con-
tain the facts on which the applicant
must state the exact occurrences
which lead him to believe that
the judge will be unfair in
his case. 1t is not enough to say that
the judge is biased and prejudiced, with
out giving the reasons why he is known
to be- SO, to secure d change of venue. /
have excuses and no facts to justify such
a conclusion. If there were any facts
! given to Justify the conclusion that the
! judge is biased and prejudiced, then the
! application would be granted, that is, if
l found they were true.
"The reason is given that 1 am friend
ly to the complaining witness (lsenhart)
in this case. 1t is true, | believe and
l hope that every other lawyer at this
| bar, yes and every citizen of this county,
can say the same.
"Gentlemen, this is simply a question
of duty. 1t is not question of personal
| feeling. If ii were the change could at
once be granted. But l must take into
consideration the facts in this case and
decide, not as l would gladly do if it
were simply question of my own per-
sonal feeling in the matter, but as be.
| comes my duty in regard to this dsfec.
| tive application for Il change of venue.
81 know, and when l say 1 know l
speak advisedly, why these parties have
asked for this change. Not or account
of the reasons stated in the application.
| They know that l know the reason. /
know that they know that l know it.
(This delivered with rising emphasis
created grealdeal of laughter.)
"If 1 should grant this application
knowing why it is asked it would simply
be cowardice on my part. would not
be doing my duty. therefore overtule
the application for change of venus.
