Santa Fe to Form a Mighty
Corporation.
All of the Branch Lines to Lose
Separate Identify
ECONOMICAL NOV E.
Many Lines Sold to the Parent
Corporation
And Others to Be Leased-A
List of the Changes.
ECONOMICAL MOVE.

All the branch lines now included in
the Santa Fe system are to lose their
identity as separate corporations and be
incorporated under the title of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway.
Many of the lines will be formally sold
to the parent corporation, but those that
are in such shape that a formal pur
chase can not be made will be convey
ed to the company by lease.
This scheme will be officially ratified
by the board of directors of the Santa
Fe system at the annual meeting in this
city on December 6, and the formal
transfers of the property will be made
Immediately afterward. 1t will be an
economical move, doing away with a
large amount of accounting and statis-
teal work which has been made neces-
sary by the separate corporations. All
the stock and bonds of the branch lines
are held by the Santa Fe Railway COM
pany..
In addition to this work the directors
will approve the purchase of the stock
trust certificates representing the con-
troll of the San Francisco & San Joa-
quin Valley railway, which will give
the Santa Fee it's own line into San
Francisco.
The branch lines which will be form
ally purchased by the Santa F'e are the
following:
Kansas City, Topeka & Western Rail-
way company; Leavenworth, Northern
& Southern Railway company; South
ern Kansas Railway company; New
Mexico & Southern Pacific Railway
company; New Mexican Railroad com
pany; Rio Grande, Mexico & Pacific
Railroad company; Silver City, Deming
& Pacific Railroad company; Wichita &
Western Railway company; St Joseph,
St.Louis & Santa Fe Railway company;
Chicago, Kansas & Western Railway
company; Kansas City, Emporia &
Southern Railway company; Florence,
ElDorado & Walnut Valley Railroad
way company; Wichita & Southwestern
Railway company.
The branch lines that will be convey
ed to the Santa Fe company by lease
are the following:
Chicago, Santa Fe & California Rail-
way company; Denver & Santa Fe
Railway company; Pueblo & Arkansas
Valley Railroad company. The Mojave
division of the Southern Pacific road,
running from The Needles to MojaVe,
viii also probably be leased.

IN FAVOR OF GAGE.
War Bond Issue Injunction Suit is
Decided.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Judge Cox, in
the district supreme court today decid-
ed the cases of George B. Wigh man
and of VIM. H. Wharton against Sec
rotary Gage in favor of the secretary Of
the treasury. One sought an injunc
ton and the other a mandamus, the
basis of complaint in each being the re-
lection by the secretary of the treasury
of bids submitted for the recent war
loan bond issue by the complainants.
Secretary Gage rejected the bids be-
lieving the bidders really represented
certain institutions. Judge Cox today
held that under the act Cf congress, the
secretary of the treasury had discret ion
in the award of the bonds AMI that the
intent of congress was that they should
go to individuals to the exclusion Of
banks and cOrpOra tons.

TOGO TO MEXICO.
Creek Indians Desire to Locate There
and Uncle Sam is Willing.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Dissatisfed
with the provisions of a law enacted by
the last session of congress which will
destroy the tribal government the In
dams of the Greek nation are about TO
remove to Mexico.
Assistant Secretary of the Interior
Ryan was asked today if the govern
ment had taken any steps toward as
sisting these Indians in leaving the
country, replied that it was a matter
with which the government had moth
ing to do. The Indians are free to go
if they choose and the government
would not regret their departure, as
they are an expense and trouble to the
government and the white people l1v-
ing near their reservations. The OBJ
ject of the law enacted by the last con-
gress is to break up all tribal govern
ments and gradually merge the Indians
into the body polite and in time make
them citizens. Indians of the Creek
Nation do not take kindly to this pro-
ject and have sent a committee to Mex
leo to select lands for a new reserva-
ton for the tribe.
Secretary Ryan says the Greeks are
at liberty to go when they please, ana
the government would be glad to solve
the whole vexatiOus Indian problem so
easily.
