AMONG RAILROAD MEN.
Padded Pay Rolls Still Bother
the Santa Fe.
Philip Collins, a Turner Section
Foreman, Arrested.
Charged With Defrauding the Com
pany of $22.7s by Carrying
Straw Man on the Pay
rolls-Examining
Time Books.

Philip Collins, a we'll known Santa Fe
section foreman at Turner, Kan, was
arrested in Armourdale yesterday on
the charge of defra uding the Santa Fee
company of SETS in August, 1895, by
making false return of time.
1t is charged that Collins carried the
name of Gus Lengel as section hand
on the rolls for Is days, when Lengel
worked only nine and half days. 1t
is further charged in the complaint on
which Collins was arrested that he GER
titled to the correctness of a board bill
for SIS for LengeI, due to Mrs. Collins.
when in fact Lengel never boarded with
Mrs. Collins.
Fischer of the South Side city court,
Kansas City, Kan, and released on $500
bond for his appearance next Thursday.
Collins, who has been in the employ
of the company for 20 years, and has
accumulated considerable property,
claims that while Lengel worked only
nine days, another man filled his place
for the remaining IS days, and he (Col-
Hnslwishing to save the trouble of max
ing out time for the other man, carried
LengePs name on the books, deduct
ing the difference from his check and
paying it over to the man who took his
place.
The complaint on which Collins was
arrested was sworn to by Thomas Cor
man, one of the secret service detect
ives.
j. J. Kinney, superintendent of the
Santa Fe secret service, stated today
that the arrest of Collins had no con-
nection with the recent discovery of a
padded pay roll system at Kansas City.
He said that it had simply been ascer-
tanned that Collins had defrauded the
company and that his arrest was order
ed, and that il was not the forerunner
of wholesale arrests of a similar kind.
The discovery of the padded pay roll
system a Kansas City is, however, in
directly responsible for Collins arrest.
When the discovery of the Kansas City
trouble was made, the company COM
menced the examination of all time
books over the road for the purpose Of
ascertaining if a similar system was
being carried on at any other point. The
fact that Collins is said to have de-
frauded the company as far back as
August, 1895, and the discovery made
at this late date shows the case to be
the result of thorough investigation.
The examination of the time books
is still going in the office of Super
intendent Kinney in this city, and other
cases similar to that of Foreman Col
Inns may be brought out before the in
VestigatiOn is completed.

BECKY AND MARCELLA.

(EVa A. Madden in LppincottS.)
If the author of Vanity Fair" had
treated Mrs. Rebecca Sharp with some
little generosity in the matter of an al
lowance, would she have descended to
such acts as concealing that thousand
coming "a valuable attendant during
sickness on her stout friend Jos Sed-
ley?
Are not her many sins on Thack
eray's soul, since it would have been the
easiest thing in the world to have al
lowed her a small stipend?
Potent indeed was money in the phil
anthropies of Mrs. Wards Marcella.
without it, could that divine busy
Maxwell, have experimental with the
woes and labors of humanity? We
wonder, however, if in Marcella's case
Mrs. Wards generosity was not little
misplaced.
There Is reason to think that it might
have been better for Sir George Tressa-
dy certainly for the comfort of rela-
tives and friends, and most undenia bly,
for Marcella herself, if she had been
ate means, to spend more time over her
housekeeping.
The eternal presence of things about
4 house which need reforming might
have consumed some of that tireless
energy which even wore upon that long
suffering fgurehead, Lord Maxwell.
Money, however, is a necessary factor
in the housekeeping affairs of even he
roines; otherwise would that charming
hostess, Diana of the Crossways. have
TURNED traitor to- guest when George
Meredith failed TO allow her an income
sufficiently large to meet her household
exnenSeS?

ExoURs1oNIsTs COMING EAST.
The Tide of Travel From the West
Heavy on All Roads.

The heavy passenger traffic from Cal
ifornia to the east, incident to the big
Christian Endeavor convention in San
Francisco and the low rate now in eff
feet from California to Chicago, has
commenced. Three extra sections of
Santa Fe through train No. will pass
through this city tomorrow morning
filled with people from southern Cali
fornia who have taken advantage of
the low rate. On the Rock Island and
Union Pacific the first extra sections on
the return travel will also pass through
this city tomorrow.
Extra trains will continue to be run
on all roads until the thousands of
eastern Christian Endeavors have been
returned to their homes. and the large
number of western people who take
advantage of the low rate are carried
into the east The low rate will remain
in effect until August Is. and for this
reason the eastbound traffic will proba-
bly, not be characterized by the rush of
the travel westbound.

New York, July 1.-THE Times says:
Lilioukalani, former queen of Hawaii,
has settled in a hotel here to sort of
literary retirement. There she devotes

Besides this book she is engaged upon
the history of her own life. The ex-
queen keeps all her movements as Sc
eret as possible. But she will probably
remain here this week.

CAPITAL MUST BAcK DOWN.
Brown System Circular Printed by

Santa Fe Article

AS announced in the Capital, the
Santa Fe will not place the Brown sys-
tenn of disciplining train employees in
effect until August 1. The matter has
been referred to Assistant General Sup
erintendent Avery Turner who is MAX
ing many changes in the system.
The system printed in an evening pa
per, purporting to be the system to be
put in use by the Santa F'e, is the sys-
tenn now used on the Southern Pacific.
The Santa Fee system will be very much
different.-Topeka Capital.
The Capital will have to back down
in regard to it's Brown system circular
statement. The circular printed in the
State Journal yesterday evening was
the official circular as prepared by AS
sistant General superintendent Avery
Turner and approved by General Sup
erintendent Nudge and General Mana

ABILENE BRANCH SERVICE.
Not Satisfactory to Grain Men-Dele-
cation Visits Supt. Nudge.

The grain men living on the Abilene
branch of the Santa Fe, extending from
Strong City to Superior, Neb., are
working for a change in the running
time of the Santa Fe trains on that line
of road. A delegation visited General
Superintendent Nudge yesterday after
noon, and Mr.. Nudge is now consider
ing the matter.
The change desired by the grain men
on the Abilene branch is a night train
instead of a day train. The markets
are mailed in Kansas City in the even
ing. coming out of that point on the
Santa Fe night train No. z, and the
grain men want the branch train to be
run so as to connect with No. z at
Strong City. This arrangement would
give them the afternoon markets early
in the morning, and also give the peo
pie on the branch line better mail ia
cilities.
The arrangement of the trains on the
branch at present is the best that can
be made as far as local passenger bus
mess is concerned. The trains now
run from Superior to Strong City and
connects with both No. and No. s.
For this reason the desired change may
not be made.

SULTAN TAKES APARTNER.
Turkey Concludes an Alliance With
Roumania.

Berlin, July 14-The Frankfurt Zeitung's
Constantinople correspondent says it is
reported that treaty was concluded at
the Yildiz Kiosk today between the Rou-
manian and Turkish governments, by the
terms of which Turkey will secure MILL
tary assistance from Roumania in the
event of Bulgaria's developing warlike de-
signs.
Notifications of the treaty will be ex-
changed next week. 1t is understood that
one of the great powers helped to arrange
the treaty.
If the news contained in the Zeitung
dispatch is true, it may be regarded as
an important move on the part of Turkey
as it was believed in some quarters that
the powers thought of using the Bulgar-
ian army in coercing the sultan.
