VIII USE P. &. &. TRACKS dispatch
from Baltimore says it WAS learned yester.
day that through trains of the seabOari Air
Line will reach Washington from the south
next winter over TIE tracks OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, as they have in the past. TIE
route of course, will be from Florida via Co.
lumbia, Cheraw, Hidge!y and Richmond. The
road to be used north of Washington under
this arrangement will probably be the Penn
sylvana, although an arrangement might be
made to turn the trains At that point over 10
the Baltimore and Ohio. RAILROAD men,
however are inclined 10 the opinion that the
"Pennsy" will take the travel north from
Washington. The road is on good terms with
the Seaboard. The b,ief Is expressed that
the arrangement with the Pennsylvania is
not permanent i !; thought that the Sea-
board will build sep rate line from susntico
to point OF the Potomac river above George

Of the Bible. the precepts of General

The railroad situation in Oklahoma
and Indian Territory is like a stiff
game Of pOkeT-lll sides are bluffink.
The Santa Fe is threatening 10 build
road from Arkansas City to Fort
Smith, Ark, and parallel the proposed
line Of the Wichita & Southern. The
promoters of the latter line, however,
are going on with their work aud
their surveyors will start over the
line the first of the week. 1t now
seems possible that The Wichita &
Southern may make combination
with the ChOctaw read. The latter
attempted to buy the Hutchinson &
Southern. 1t wants northern Con-
nectiOn and feeder, 50 tnat it can hold
its own in the Territory. 1t is even
reported that il is thinking OF build
ing liUe to Hutchinson. This, how
ever, is improbable. Instead it will
more likely JOIN hands with the
Wichita & Southern, and thus prac-
tically control things 10 the Indian
Territory. There is a well authen-
ticated rumor ahOat that the Santa
Fe will extend the TOnkawa branch
south about seven miles and connect
with the branch line the Rock Island
is building out o: Enid. When this
is done both lines will use the branch.
The Santa BE can get into western
Oklahoma and the Rock Island can
get an outlet into tue eastern part.
1t is reported that there is an under
standing between the two roads and
that they are attempting TO control
the situation 10 Oklahoma. The
ruads are blutfing buddy. In some
places Two aud JOree 70 IDS are sur

may be built, but the majority are for

For Ike Reeds Pardon.

circulated petition among the bust
ness men OF Wellington Saturday,
during the presence Of Governor Stan
ley In town, asking for the pardon Of
Ike Reed, who is serving a life SEN
tence In the penitentiary for killing
Ike Hopper. The petition was readily
signed by all who were asked TO sign
1t, and delegation of about twenty
i've persons called on the governor in
his rooms at the Arlington hotel in
the afternoon and presented the petit.
tlon to him. Each person in the
delegation made A personal request OF
the governor to grant the pardon, ex
planning that the petition was gotten
up to show the feeling of the business
men in Wellington concerning the
matter, and saying it was the general
opinion of all who were acquainted
with the circumstance of the killing
that Reed had been punished suffic.
iently.
While Governor Stanley did uot
commit himself, it was plain that he
was impressed with the manner in
which the Wellington people ap'
preached him on Reeds behalf, and
many believe the governor will con
slider the application fayorably.
