SOUTHERN RAILROAD BOOM.
Car Equipment Company Cannot Sup
ply the Demands of the Roads.

Atlanta, Sept. 6.-The remarka BILE
boom in business has created a car
famine on the southern railroads. That
this car famine, the famine that means
golden harvests of money, is not con-
fined to the west is shown by facts
furnished by E. c. Spaulding, general
manager of several large equipment
companies which own more than Il, 900
freight cars.
These cars are leased to railroads east
of the Mississippi river, covering the
entire territory from New England to
the Gulf. About six months ago 5000
of these $4,000 freight cars were side
tracked for lack of business, and about
two months ago roads all over the coun-
try began to send to Mr.. Spaulding for
equipment.
Every car which his concern controls
is now in active service, and he is not
only running two shops in Atlanta, to
put old cars in good condition, but has
been compelled to make contracts with
other works to assist in putting cars in
shape for active Service. He said today
that he could lease to advantage II, 900
additional cars if he had them, with
out any trouble. The equipment buSi-
ness is a good index to the general con-
dition of the country, as the roads do
not call upon outside companies for cars
unless they are SOrely pressed for want
of equipment.

GEN. LEE COMING HOME.
It is Considered Improbable That He
Will Return to Havana.

Havana, Sept. 6.-Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
the United States consul general, ac-
companied by his son and private sec
retary, embarked on board the Ward
Line steamer Seguranica, bound for
New York.
When questioned as to his apparently
sudden departure from Cuba, Gen. Lee
said his leaving Havana had no signif-
icance, as he was simply availing him
self of leave of absence from there
granted by the state department. Pre-
vious to leaving this city, Gen. Lee
called upon and bade farewell to Capt
Gen. .Weyler and the Marquis Ahumada,
captain. general while Gen. Weyler is
absent from Havana.
Washington, Sept. 6.-No official in
formation could be obtained here re-
garding the return of Gen. Lee, but it
is understood that he has been granted
a leave of absence by the state depart
Eent with permission to return to this
country. The business of the consulate
will be in charge of the vice consul gem
eral during his absence. 1t is quite
probate that Gen. Lee will not return
to Havana. 1t will be remembered that
when the new administration came into
power Gen. Lee and other officials hold
ing like positions, rendered their resig-
nations. There followed a great deal
of speculation as to whom the success
sor of Gen. Lee would be and several
names were mentioned in this connec-
t1On.
The course pursued by the admins
tratiOn is not naming his successor
leaves no ground for the intimation
that there was dissatisfaction with him
officially. Now there has been a per-
iod of comparative quiet in Havana,
and Gen.Lee has remained long enough
to demonstrate that his course was not
disapproved and if he is relieved no
criticism of him officially will stand.
While state department officials are
unusually reticent regarding the re-
turn of Gen. Lee there seems to be lit
tie doubt that he will not return to
Havana and that his successor will
soon be selected.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Mr. and Mrs. C. l. Short Thrown Un-
der the WI 4els-

c. L. Short, Mrs. c. L. Short, their
daughter Lenna, and guest, P. Simp-
son, of Chicago, were badly bruised in
an accident last evening and narrowly
escaped fatal injuries.
They were out riding in the moon
light and were driving along a road
which ran cross-lots through Lowman
Hill. The surface was uneven, and
suddenly without warning the carriage
was overturned and all thrown out and
dragged under the vehicle for about 20
feet. The horse then pulled loose from
the carriage and ran towards the city.
All extricated themselves, found their
way to the car line and came home. No
bones were broken, but all received
painful bruises. Mr.. Short is not maxi
ing his usual run today as conductor on
the Santa F'e plug" but will get back
to shis duties tomorrow. He considers
it much safer to ride 40 miles an hour
behind a Santa F'e engine than to drive
a team of horses over a suburban road.

SCALING DOWN THE TAX.
Deputy Santa Fe Tax Collector Pro.
poses Scheme to Barber Co.

Medicine Lodge, Sept. 4-R X Jam
ison, deputy Santa Fe tax collector,
came in from Topeka to meet the board
of county commissioners in special ses-
sion.
Mr.. Jamison thinks he has discovered
a plan by which he can save Barber
county about S. 900 if he can make a
deal with the commissioners. He claims
that there is no law authorizing or
compelling a state delinquent state tax
levy; a county is compelled to make a
certain levy for state taxes each year
and if the tax collected under that levy
is excessive. the state gains; if de-
ficient, the state loses. He is very con-
fident that levieS for delinquent taxes
are not compulsory.
Barber county has levied over Sc, 900
state delinquent taxes in recent years
and Mr.. Jamison proposes to even up
by scaling down future levies. He says
the county cannot get the money back
from the state in cash, but future levieS
can be reduced from year to year until
the st, 900, or whatever the amount may
be- are taken up.
He offers to carry this matter through
for l. per cent of the amount he saves
to the. county. If he does not succeed
no compensation will be due him. He
says he is dealing with other counties
on the same basis. The board took the
matter under advisement until the
October meeting when the proposition
will either be accepted or rejected.
