G. Ill. B0yntOn Slated to Sue
coed I'll. A. Parker, 1t Is Said,
AS Assistant to the President
of the Rock Island
In ENGINEERING WORK
Tickets to the N. E. A. at Los
Angeles in July
Promise to Be Reduced to a
Song by Rate Cutting.

1t is rumored generally that Mr.. Geo.
H. Boynton, at present assistant engi-
neer of the Rock Island at Davenport,
Iowa, is slated to succeed Mr.. H. A.
Parker as assistant to the president in
charge of all the engineering work of
the road.
Mr.. Parker was made general mana
ger of the road in place of Mr.. w. H.
Truesdale, who accepted the position of
president of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western railway.
The rumor of Mr.. Boyntons appoint
ment is due to the fact that as assistant
to the president, Mr.. Parker supervised
all engineering and construction work.
AS general manager he will necessarily
have to limit his attention to operating
matters, and it is only reasonable that
some one will be named to take up his
former duties. Mr.. B. B. Brayton is en-
gineer at Davenport, but as he is man
well along in years it is believed Boyn-
ton would be given the preference.
Boynton is capable of handling the
work of chief engineer of the road, and
stands well with the management.
In the event of Boyntons appoint
ment the position of assistant to the
president might be abolished and that
of chief engineer of the road substitu-
ted.

CHEAP RATES TO Los ANGELES
Santa Fe Getting Most of the N. E. a.
Business May Make Merry War.

Chicago, March 2.-Unless the general
passenger agents of the western lines
soon unite on rates for the National Ed
vocational associations convention, to be
held at Los Angeles, Cal, July IL to IA,
a lively rate war will possibly result
beside which the homeseeker's excursion
business will not be marker.
When the educators settled on Cali
fornia as the place for their next con-
vention the Santa Fe went after the
business and by agreeing to give the
association 50 on every ticket sold prac-
tically secured the business for that line
This 81 per ticket does not come out of
the Santa Fe'S treasury, but is added
to the price of each ticket. The other
lines claimed that this fee belonged to
the railroads for maintaining a bureau
in Los Angeles during the convention
for stamping the return portion of the
tickets. This is a point on which the
Santa Fe and it's competitors do not
agree and as result the passenger
fares to California may drop to low
point.
The Santa Fe holds the whip hand
as it has its own line to Los Angeles
and is in the position of a dictator,
whereas the other tranScontinental lines
have to reckon on the arbitrary rate
demanded by the Southern Pacific and
it is a well known fact that the South
ern Pacific does not do business for the
glory of hauling trains. There is every
likelihood that the other lines will not
put the rate at such point that there
will be no money in the business.

sion, the entrepot for the Porcupine

dams have advanced will throw a large
number of recently discovered mines of
the Porcupine district into British ter

death on the Atlin trail during a terri
BILE cold snap on Sunday and Monday

are said to have Succumbed to the cold,

Pittsburg, March 2.-The third days

HE DROWNED HIS WIFE.
Albert Becker Confesses to Throwing
Her in the Lake.

Chicago, March ALBERT Becker, the
south side butcher. who has been in Gus
tody for week on suspicion of having
murdered his first wife, Teresa Becker.
broke down last night under the long
continued oss-questioning of the po-
lice and made a complete confession.
''I killed her on January 27,' said
Becker, def1antly. 1--WE were walking
on the Randolph street viaduct and be-
gan quarreling. 1 became angry and
threw her into the lake. Then 1 went
home'
Since Becker's arrest his second wife,
II years old. Eda Sutterlin, has been in
custody. Becker inquired continually
for her, asking the police why she was
not released. He was always given an
evasive answer and apparently received
the impression that Eda would in some
way be connected with the disappear
ance of his first wife. Becker, accord
ing to the theory of the police, made the
confession in order to absolve her from
any blame. The body of the murdered
woman has not been found.

to Each Other

Denver, March 2.-Gen. Miles and
Gen. Alger are second cousins once re-

few of those who have watched the
progress of the disagreement between
