F'e system. fifteen strong. will attend
the Santa Fe anniversary celebration
in this city in a body.
AT a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee last night Mr.. w. G. GarVey,
chairman of the committee, stated that
Col. c. K. Holiday had informed him
that the matter was discussed at the
last meeting of the board of directors,
and that while no definite action was
taken there was a possibility OF ths>m ina
Jority if not the entire board attending
the celebration in Topeka. Mr.. Garvey
said
In conversation with Mr.. Holiday
this week he told me that at the last
meeting of the board of directors he
took occasion to extend the eastern
members of the board an invitation to
be present at the Santa Fe celebra ton
in body. This invitation was a once
responded to by General Counsel Victor
Morawetz moving that vote of thanks
be extended to those in charge of the
celebrate but Col. Holiday immedi-
ately said.
1t is not vote of thanks that we
want gentlemen; it is your presence in
Topeka on that day Elaborate ar
rangements have been made to cele-
brate the twenty-fifth anniversary of
the Santa Fe railway, and I think it
would be appropriate if the entire board
of directors could attend the celebra-
ton in a body
After this announcement by Col.
Holiday the matter of attending the
celebra ton was taken up and discussed.
Two or three of the members, one of
whom, Chairman Walker, stated that
they did not think it would be posi-
bic to be in Topeka on that day. No
formal action was taken other than ex-
tending vote of thanks to those in
charge of the celebration but it was
decided that the arrangements could be
made the ma jOrity of the board if not
all the members, would be in Topeka
in a special car for the celebration.

The question of taking care of the
displays and delegations from the diff
ferent Kansas points was brought up
at the meeting last night by Mr.. Alex
Laird. Mr.. Laird said:
If no other arrangements have been
made, think it would be well to send
a circular to the employees at different
points who will participate in the ceIe-
bration, telling them where to report
and what to do after reaching Tope-
ka.'
Mr.. c. w. Kouns-I have sent com
municationS to all division superintend-
ents in Kansas, asking them to notify i
the employees who are coming to To- |
peka to report on Wednesday morning |
at $3.50 o'clock to the marshal of the !
fifth division at the corner of Third and |
Quincy streets.
Mr. C. F. Cavert-I think a commit |
tee should be appointed to meet all dis |
plays and delegations at the depot and |
furnish any information that might be |
desired.
Mr.. c. w. Kouns-T think that by the |
time of the next meeting of this COM |
mittee we will know exactly when the !
displays and delegations will arrive in |
this city, and it will then be time to /
make arrangements to take care OF /
them.
Mr. Cavert-As chairman of the en- /
tertainment committee, 1 would like to |
know from the secretary if he has made !
any arrangements to have anyone rep /
resent him a the Santa F'e headquar-
tiers in Hamilton hall2
Mr. Healy-In answer to Mr. Cavert, |
I will say that 1 have in mind my as
sistant Mr.. c. c. Henshaw. who I think |
will be just the man for the place.
Mr. Cavert further stated that he
would be glad to receive notice from
any Topeka people who would be able
to furnish rooms and board that week
tons will reach Mr.. CaVert
at room ~. general office building.
