NGRlL-LA ~ L1O
Omaha, Jan. 22.-The report from St.
Louis that Edward Dickinson had re-
signed his position as general man
ager of the Union Pacific to go with
the Baltimore & Ohio and that Everett
ST. John, vice president and general
manager of the Seaboard air line was
to succeed him here, was the principal
topic of conversation at headquarters
this morning. Mr. Dickinson, when
he was dissatisfied with the Adams
management of the Union Pacific,
left il and went to the Baltimore &
Ohio AMI made a great SUCCESS of the
road. When Mr.. Clark came back to
the Union Pacific he induced AR. H'rk-
inson, after no little urging, to return
TO the Union Pacific.
On this account it seemed plausible
that MI Dickinson. If he made a
change, would go back to the Balti-
more Y Ohio.
An immediate investigation was

ANOTHER BROKERS' STORY.
More Anti-scalping Argument Pro-
duced.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-While looking up
evidence against w. H. Blose, a ticket
broker, the police have found in one
office bogus passes, mostly editorial,
which apparently represented $50, 600,
tina had been secured from unsuspect-
ing strangers. The discovery has led
to the belief that a band of swin6ers
in the guise of ticket brokers is in eX-
istence in Chicago, and reaping a har-
vest by the sale of bogus tickets.
The case which led to the investiga-
ton, and which may lead to a number
of arrests, was that of John Wallace of
Nashville, o., who went before the
grand jury and had Blose arrested on
charges of swindling. Wallace reached
Chicago a week ago, en- route to Da-
kota, and was directed, so he says, to
Biose's ticket office. Wallace bought a
pass to his destination, paying $3.50
for il, n was told TO call at 6 O'Clock
for the pass.
Blose's office was locked at hat hOur.
When Wallace called the next day, he
was told the transportation had ex-
PRED, and $3.50 was demanded for an
ether pass, which was paid. Wallace
say he was given a piece OF pa%steboard
marked editorial pass" stamped with
the supposed seal of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Pau road, and was di-
rected to General Manager Miller of
that road, who, he was Informed, would
indorse the ticket. Mr.. Miller, however,
TOOK up the ticket, and latcr showed TO
the police $4,000 worth of bogus trans
p%ortation which had accumulated for
the last two years. From their general
appearance, they all came from one
person. The anne of a number of
ticket brokers alleged to be implicated
are in possession of the officers, and
Will be brought to the attention of the
grand jury.
The general passenger and ticket
agents of the ten railroads appeared be-
fore the grand jury, to secur the in
dictment of ticket brokers for alleged
Illegal transactions in passes and edi-
torial mileage. Sixteen cases were
heard by the jury. Among the passes
said to have been found in a Clark
street brokers' Office are FIVE made out
in the name of Mayor Harrison.
[Since the anti-brOker's bill was pre-
scented in congress frauds by brokers
have been unearthed so frequently that
it looks as though the discoveries might
have been made for d purpose. In the
case above cited, John Wallace was as
big a sucker as ever bit on a lock game.
Blose is not a broker. but a sharper.

q trial alone. The other crew was
sent away TO avoid trouble while the
test was in progress. First a train OF
a dozen heavily loaded cars was sent
out and one machine coupled to 1t.
With great show of smoke and noise
the cars were pulled I'D the canvon
aid back, a record being kept on the
steam pressure and time. Then the
other engine vas given a whirl under
the same conditions. AfterWaTd one
car was added each time until one

On the result of this contest a num-
Der of officials of the mountain roads
were deeply interested. Representa-
tives were present from the Colorado
Midland, Rio Grande and Gulf lines.
On these roads the problem of adding
one more car to each train means enor-
nous revenue in the course of a year.
The Gulf, for instance, has averaged
one n one-half cars per train in
crease per year ever since the road
passed from the Union Pacific man
agement. This was accomplished by

curves and keeping the engines in bet
ter shape. The saving in this can only
be estimated by calculating on the cut
ting of two crews a day with a CORE
spending amount of business, and then
figuring the cost of each crew at 80
cents n mile.
On the Midland h situation is even
more interesting. Here there are sew
eral stretches of our per cent grades.
The makers of the successful engine
claim that they can build a machine
weighing 80 tons which will pull % cars
up a -four per cent grade. At present
the Midland is compelled to use three
engines for this number of cars, and
the saving would be two crews at a
somewhat additional expense over the
Gulf per mile. The engines at present
in use on the Midland on a oscar train
are two light and one heavy engine.
the latter weighing more than 80 tons
more than the machine spoken of, and
doing greater damage to track and
roadbed. 1t is possible that there will
be several trial engines built to be
placed on service in the state on
standard gauge lines, and if successful
they viii revolutionize the freight pow
er to a very great extent, as the saliva
ton of the roads depends entirely upon
the number of loads a crew can handle
over the grades.

KANSAS PACIFIC.
Rumor That Alton and D. & r. G..
Will Purchase It..


The Chicago Tribune of last Thursday
says the opinion is gaining ground in
railway circles tina the Union Pacific
reorganization committee has given up
the idea of bidding for the Kansas Pa
cihc when it is sold under foreclosure
proceedings. So far as can be learned,
no syndicate has as yet been formed
for the purpose Of bidding in the prop
erty, and if the Union Pacific people
stay out, it looks as if the government
will have to buy the road TO secure the
payment of the money owed it. The
act passed a few days ago by congress
authorizes the purchase of the proper
ty, and is taken as an indication that
no satisfactory offer has been made by
anyone to the government.
1t is stated, however, that there is a
probability of a syndicate being
formed, composed of parties interested
in the Chicago & Alton and the Denver
& Rio Grande. with a view of buying
the road. The Kansas Pacific has been
the connecting link between the Denver
& Rio Grande and the Alton for a great
many years, and the latter now has a
traffic arrangement with il by which it
lands its passengers in Denver. There
is no other outlet for the Alton west
ward, unless it takes in the Kansas
Central. The Kansas Central a sew

essary to do some construction work
before through rains could be run to
Denver. 1t is stated that the Denver &
Rio Grande is very anxious to get a
connecting line to the river, and would
willingly join hands with the Alton in
securing the road
There is one drawback to the scheme
which includes the purchase of the
Kansas Pacific, and that is that the
line from the Colorado boundary to
Denver, is not included in the portion
to be sold by the government, and be-
longs to the Union Pacific. as at pres
ent organized. It is thought, however,
this may be overcome by purchase and
it is said that the Union Pacific would
be glad to get rid of the branch.
That some deal will be made is evil
dent. The railroads do not want the
government to w the Kansas Pa
cific. The conditions are very much the
same as when the Union Pacific was
being discussed. If the government had
asked 500, 600, 900 for the line, il would
have got it as easily as it did 500, 600, 600.
The railroad men of the country saw
hat h Union Pacific would pay for
Itself under good management. 1t was
argued that if the government oper-
ated it, it would get good men to dc
the work. The line would not be oper-
ated for revenue, but to make expenses.
with a trifiIg balance. Good railroad
men would have succeeded in this and
with the Union Pacific doing business
like that there would have been one of
the most powerful arguments in favor
of government ownership of railroads
yer presented. So the Union Pacific
was purchased. The government sold
the road dirt cheap. 1t could have had
twice the money had the statesmen
managing the deal wanted to enrich
the public treasury.
