Said That Such a Move Has Been
Decided Upon.
WILL INJURE TOPEKA.
Several Families Would Leave
This City as a Result.
Company Hopes to Save Mileage
to Employees by the Move.

It is rumored on good authority that
FOUR, and possibly six. of the pool en-
Eine and train crews of the Santa Fe
will soon be transferred from Topeka
to Argentine. The crews affected Will
be those in through freight service.
This matter is of much interest to the
crews now running out of Topeka The
order for the change has not yet been
given out officially, but it is said that
it will soon be issued. This action on
the part of the Santa F'e has been I'M,
der consideration for some time past
and only within the past few days mas
definite action been taken in regard to
it.
By this action, much and possibly
all of the through freight business,
which now goes through Topeka, will
be handled over the cut OFF, between
Kansas City and Emporia- Topeka Will
cease to be a division point for other
than local freight.
The transfer of the crews to Argen-
tine will bring about many changes and
will work a hardship to the city. 1t VIII
cause the removal of about % families
from Topeka to Argentine, which means
a considerable loss to the city Many
of the railroad men who will be affected
own their homes, and win either have
to rent or sell them If they move away
from here.
It will also take away from Topeka
several locomotives, which will mean
q reduction in the round house force
and the force of the machine shops
These men will probably be compelled
TO look for work elsewhere. Just how
far this retrenchment will reach is not
yet known.
The Santa F'e company hopes to save
considerable in mileage to engine and
train men by the move.

DECISION DELAYED.
P. & G. Representatives Are Having
an Awful Time Naming a President.

New York, Feb. 14.-Decision in the
matter of a president for the Kansas
City, Pittsburg & Gulf railway has been
delayed by the sickness of representa-
tives now holding conference in this
city. 1t was said today by Max Pam,
counsel for the interests now in con-
troll, that in all probability no result
would be forthcoming for several days.
The stories which have been wired
from Chicago concerning demands
made by the Burlington railroad are
fatty denied by Mr.. Pam. 1t was not
explicitly stated by the conferees here
whether or not Mr.. Brown had been
offered the presidency, but they stated
that his alleged desire for five years
non-interference from the controlling
interests and absolute freedom to build
up the road as his judgment deems
best has not yet reached their ears.
