THE KAYsEE SHOPS.

There is nothing new today with ref
erence to removal of the Gulf, Beaumont
and Kansas City shops to Jasper. Publ
cation of General Manager Kirby's dis
patch in this mornings Post seems TO
have caused some citizens to realize the
graveness OF the situation, and Assistant
General Manager Wilson has therefore
been requested to defer closing with Jas
per until the city rs a whole has a
chance TO act In the premises. Manager
Wilson wired General Manager Kirby the
request this afternoon, but had not re-
ceived a reply tonight. 1t is not improb-
able that the citizens will give assur-
ances of such assistance or donations
as will be necessary to keep the shops
here. This will not be difficult to do,
as the Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City
had made an offer for the site desired and
citizens would have only to make up the
difference between that and the awards
