Six new brakemen arrived from FL Paso

have reached that city in the last few
days, the most of them being at once en-

The large business on the Santa Fe has

is very heavy and they have roast on

broke one of the small bones in his left
wrist.
Two brakemen have been put on Nos II

A GOOD PLACE TO AVOID.
Porto Rico is No Place for American
Working Men.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The following
report from Mr.. Hanna, American con-
sui at Porto Rico has been received by
the assistant secretary of state and will
be of interest to persons contemplating
emigration to that island. In his report
Mr.. Hanna says:
IT am convinced that young men
seeking work or positions Of any kind
should not come to Porto Rico. Such
persons as clerks, carpenters, mechan-
les and labOrers of all grades, should
stay away from Porto Rico. No Amer
ican should come to Porto Rico expect
ing to strike it rich and no persons
should come here without plenty Of
money to pay board bills and have
enough to take them back to their
homes in the United States. This is a
small island, has population of about
a million people, and is the most dense
ly populated country in the WORLD. There
are several hundred thousand working
Porto Ricans ready to fill the vacant
jobs and at a low price. There may
come a, time after the laws of the Uni
ted States are applied byscOngress to
this island that this will be a good
place for American capital and for
Americans to do business, but even then
man should have plenty of money
who expects to make a business success
in Porto Rico. I deem it important that
the department cause this suggestion to
be made public through the newspapers
of the country"

a committee which will look for a site
today for the cooperative shop. 1t was
agreed that the best site would be either
on Thirtieth or Thirty-fOurth street,
near Fifth avenue.
Mr.. Kelly told a reporter that the givers
of the money with which to start the CO.
operative shop would rather not have their
names published, and therefore he was
unable TO announce them.

man of the sweating system committee

THEIR FIGURES AGREE.
Breidenthal and Bowersock Have a
Talk on the Train.

LAX on the IRAN.
Coming up from Kansas City Sunday
on the same train were Tom McNeaI
A. A. GODDARD and John w. BreidenthaI
Breidenthal sat across the aisle from
the other two, and the trio began to
talk jovially concerning the election.
While they were thus engaged another
man entered the car, nodded Familiarity
to McNeal and GODDARD and sat down in
the vacant seat beside BreidenthaI. He
noticed that Breidenthal was talking
with the two Republicans, and soon he
began to talk to the bank commissioner
himself. Breidenthal did not know who
the stranger was, nor did the stranger
know Breidenthal, for he talked to him
as if he were a Republican. Breidenthal
held his peace, and coon dis
covered that his companion was J. D.
BowersOck. The candidate for congress
talked the prospect over candidly with
Breidenthal, never dreaming that he
was talking with one of the enemy.
BOwersock had copy of the estimate
made by J. E. Latimer concerning the
result in the Second district, as pub
Hshed in the State Journal, and he care
fully went over the ground with Breid-
enthal They both agreed that they
could not tell anything about what Wy
andotte county would do, and that Al
len county is also an uncertain quaint
ty. They agreed so remarkably well
that BOWerSOck got off the train with
out finding out with whom he had been
talking, but firm in the belief that he
was a Republican.
THAT shows the result of keeping the
wrong kind of company" said Breiden-
thai to AIcNeaI and GODDARD, after Bow
ersock got off the train at Lawrence.
