RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Shops Will Run Six
Days Nine Hours.
New Winter Schedule to Go In
to Effect.
LA JUNTA CONNECTION
New Time Card on the Santa
Fe Not as Last Year.
How the Santa Fe Will Handle
LA JUNTA CONNECTION
How the Santa Fe Will Handle
California Traffic.

Commencing Monday. the hours at
the Santa Fe shops in this city will be
changed to nine hours a day and six
days a week. The employees of the shops
are now working ten hours day, and
five and one-half days a week.
The change in the working time, by
which the time is cut down one hour, is
not made because of a decrease in the
amount of work at the shops, but simp-
~ because the days are growing short,
and it is impossible for the men to do
their work accurately in the dim light
of the shops after O'Clock in the even
ing The shops are lighted quite extern
sively by electricity, but to light the
big buildings sufficiently to enable the
men to work as by daylight, it would
require the construction of an immense
plant costing thousands of dollars.
All departments of the shops are
rushed with work at present, and the
indications are that there will be no
decrease in either time or force through
the winter. Traffic continues unusual
ly heavy, and it is prOable that the
shop men will work nine hours a day
and six days a week during the entire
winter.
The hours will after next Monday be
from o'clock in the morning until II
o'clock, noon, and from 1 o'clock until
5 o'clock in the evening.
This is the heaviest winter schedule
of working hours that has been placed
in effect at the Santa Fe shops in this
city for several years.

PULLMAN WILL IS SAFE.
None of the Family is Disposed to
Contest It

Chicago, Oct. 29.-There is to be no
contest of the Pullman will, so both
sons of the dead magnate declare
Said George NJ. Pullman: ''The idea
of wishing to contest my fathers will
never entered my head nor my broth
er's head either. No steps have been
taken none will be taken, to break the
will My relations with the Pullman
Palace Car company and with my fam
lily are most cordial. I am in the ca
pacity of an assistant district Superin-
tendent and expect to remain with the
company"
Referring to the gossip that coupled his
name with that of Miss Felicite Oglesby
in tie character of a rejected sutton,
Mr. Pullman said: "Our relations are
exactly the same as they have always
been. So far as my brother Sanger s
engagement is concerned, that is an
affair that concerns himself. 1 do not
choose to interfere in his business"
Friends of Miss Lynne Fernold say
the engagement between the young la
dy and Mr.. Sanger Pullman has been
broken off.
In terms as explicit as those employed
by his brother, Sanger Pullman contra
dicted the rumOr that his fathers will
was to be attacked in the courts. An
authoritative denial of the rumor was
also made by Mrs. Pullman.
These explicit denials of a contest
seem to dispose of a great deal of gossip
which has been floating about concern
ing the Pullmans. This gossip was to
the effect that the millions left by
George NJ. Pullman were to be tied up
in an acrimonious litigation. The
story was that the sons considered
themselves as practically disinherited
on the bare allowance of SIS, 900 a year
and felt aggrieved at the Scant prOvis-
ion made for them in the Will.

MARINE BAND Is DOOMED.
Opposition of Labor Unions Will
Break it Up.

Washington, Oct 29.-It is possible
that as a result of the change made in
the leadership of the marine band, the
engagement of that organization to
furnish music for the Chicago horse
show may fail.
The contracts for this engagement, it
is said. were made by Prof. Fancieulli,
the retiring leader. He arranged the
programme in cooperation with the Of
ficials of the Chicago show, and this
programme which has already been
published, includes several numbers of
Prof. Fancieulli'S own compositions. 1t
is doubtful whether the Chicago people
will be content with the change in the
personnel of the band which the de-
partment'S action has brought.
In order to escape further criticism at
the hands of the labor organizations,
the navy department has laid down the
rule that hereafter the marine band
shall not be allowed to play in any city,
where they might be regarded as COM
peting with civilian bands All of the
bandmen have been enlisted with an
understanding that they might exc out
their slender pay as enlisted marines
by playing outside engagements. Most
of them are men of family who could
not subsist on a marines pay, so that
this order is expected to result in the
refusal of most of the bandsmeu to re-
enlist and in the case of the more noted
musicians in their buying their dis
charges so that the future of the IA
nous old marine band is in doubt.

Santa Fe Shipping Them East in Re
frigerator Cars,

Denver, Oct. 29.-H. R. Brady. trav-
cling agent of the Santa Fe fruit and
refrigerator line, is in the city looking
after cars going into northern Colorado
for potato shipments. Northern Col
orado," said Mr.. Brady. is undoubted-
ly the best region for potato raising
west of the Mississippi river. The
Greeley potato is as favorably known
as the Rocky Ford cantaloupe and will
always bring the highest price in the
market.
Kansas and Illinois are short on po-
tatOes this year and the demand is
very urgent for Greeley tubers. I have
been looking over the ground and esti-
mate that the region of northern Colo
RADIO will send out 1000 or 200 car
loads of first-class potatoes. People
preciate the size of such a crop and are
away off in their estimates. The out
put will probably be one of the largest
the district has ever known and prices
will be satisfactory. The potatoes are
shipped in refrigerator cars.
