ONE OF BLUE CUT OUTLAWS
A Kansas City Horseman Has Been
Suspended on Suspicion.

Kansas City, No, Jan. 6.-Andy Tiy-
an, a horseman, has been suspended as
a result of developments since the last
Blue Cut train robbery. Andy is a
brother of the notorious Bill Ryan,
one of the leaders of the old James band
who was pardoned only a few years
ago from the state penitentiary where

Cut robbery of 1880.
The Ryans, like Kennedy, the sup
posed leader in the recent rObberies,

trict, where the James boys, the Youn-
gers and the Caldwells were received
as welcome visitors at the farmers
homes and looked upon as heroes. and
where to this day train robbery Seems
than a crime
Andy Ryan's suspension results
from the fact that Kennedy the engi-
neer now under arrest and charged with
being the leader in the recent robber-
les, frequently visited him at No. 4 en-
CINE house previous to the recent rob
berries. and the railroad detectives have
informed Chief Hale that in Ryan

effects, including a satchel which con-
tanned a cloth mask.

AMONG RAILROAD men.
Jurisdiction Of Supt. John Play
er to Be Extended.
1t is to Secure One Standard
OH All Santa Fe Lines.
Geo. a. Hancock Likely to be Made
Mr.. Players Assistant.

The jurisdiction of Mr.. John Player,
superintendent. of machinery of the
Santa Fe, is to be extended over the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe and South
ern California roads. This jurisdiction
will be more of an advisory than act
i've. nature, but Mr.. Player will have
general supervision of the work per-
formed in the mechanical departments
of the three railways.
The extension of Mr.. Players juris-
diction is the reason for the creation
of the office of assistant superintend-
ent of machinery 1t is intended that
the assistant superintendent shall re-
main in the Office the greater part of
the time and perform the duties along
that line, while Mr.. Player Will be left
free to travel and inspect the different
departments of mechanical work on the
Gulf and Southern California roads in
addition to the Santa Fe proper.
The object sought for in this change
is a single standard in mechanical work
over the entire Santa F'e system. On
the LIST of last July the jurisdiction of
Chief Engineer James Dun was extend
ed over the Gulf and Southern Califor-
MIA roads for the purpose of establish
ing a standard in engineering work, and
q few months later an extension was
also made in the jurisdiction of Mr.. c..
w. Kouns, car service superintendent,
with the object of having but one meth
cd in the car accounting work AS Pres
ident Ripley desires the work of all
important departments to be of one
standard over the entire system, the
extension of Mr.. Players jurisdiction
is but a natural sequence.
To have one standard of work over
the entire system is economical 1t saves
time and labor, and with one man in
general supervision of each important
department, the affairs of the different
railways of the system can be conduct
ed as one road.
1t is understood that the Santa F'e
management intends to secure control
of the Atlantic & Pacific line after the
foreclosure sale, and a standard in the
different grades of work will then also
be tabliShed on that road
In reference to the appointment of an
assistant superintendent of machinery,
it is understood that Mr.. George a
Hancock. superintendent of machinery
of the Gulf road, declined the position
solely on the point of personal health
He has, however. been persuaded to
consider the proposal again, and may
finally decide to come to Topeka.
In the event he accepts the position
either Geo. w. Smith of this city, mas
ter mechanic of the eastern division, or
James Collinson. master mechanic of
the Chicago division, will probably sue
coed him.
If Mr.. Hancock finally declines it is
not as yet known who win be appointed
to the new office.
