wellington. Feb. S.-A special meet
ing of the Wellington brakemen was
held at headquarters to discuss the
Hutchinson & Southern situation The
brakemen on the Panhandle division
proper claim the Hutchinson & South
ern brakemen are given seniority over
older men in the Santa Fe service.
The Hutchinson & Southern branch
is a new line recently acquired by the
Santa Fe. Under the rules of rail-
reading, the Oldest men on the division
are entitled to the preferred runs. This
rule applies to new lines acquired by
railroad systems. Under the rules, the
Hutchinson & Southern brakemen
should be set back and the older brake
men given the best positions. The
Hutchinson & Southern brakemen have
been allowed to control the runs on
that line regardless of the rights of
the brakemen on the Panhandle di-
vision proper. It was decided at the
meeting to take the matter up before
General superintendent Resseguie. The
brakemen anticipate no trouble in get
ting matters Strengthened out.

AUTOMATIC COUPLER TROUBLE
New Device Necessary to Protect Lo-
connective Against Accidents.

The necessity of placing automatic
cOuplers on the front ends of Iocomo-
tives, as is provided for in the new rail-
road equipment law, in the place of the
old style draw bar. has given rise to a
new difficulty.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the
automatic coupler sticks out over the
pilot, for the distance of nearly two
feet or more and makes it extremely
dangerous. The danger lies in the fact
that any object which might be on the
track, if struck by the locomotive, in
stead of being turned off to the side by
the slant Of the pilot would probably
be forced upward until it struck the
projecting coupler and then fall down
on the rails and possibly throw the To-
connective and train off the track by be-
Ing run over.
To get around this difficulty, an in
genious little continuance is placed on
the front end of the pilot. to avoid any
accident of this kind. It consists of a
piece of heavy sheet iron, properly bent

JOKE ON CHIEF CLERK WEBB
Politely Declines a Request to Per-

Just few minutes after noon We'd
nesday a young man entered the Santa
Fe division superintendent room, and
asked one of the young men there if
the notary public was present. The
young man replied that he was not, but
would be in at two o'clock. The
stranger thanked him and saying that
he would return at the appointed time.
went out. Mr.. ChaS. ]. Webb, who is
notary, soon came in, and in a short
time everyone was busily engaged in
attending to the business at hand, en-
tirely forgetting the visit of the
stranger a while before.
Two o'clock came, and punctua1 on
the hour, also came the stranger, and
leaning gracefully on his arm was a
young lady. The stranger went immed-
lately to the young man who had di-
rected him before and asked if the
notary was in. Being directed to Mr.
Webb's desk, he and the young lady
were soon standing in front of the
desk, waiting an opportunity to speak.
The appearance of the two in the room
was the signal for all business to cease,
and all present were intent watchers
and listeners to what was transpiring.
How do you do said Mr.. Webb.
'HOw do you do, sir" said the
stranger, ARE you the notary public? '
Yes, sir" answered Mr.. Webb, getting
up and procuring two chairs for the
strangers, and at the same time going
to the cabinet and securing his notary
seal, thinking that an acknowledgment

What can I do for you?'' said Mr.
Webb, as he again seated himself at his
desk.
I'VE want to get married." said the
stranger, as he nervously took a long
envelope from his pocket, and produced
a newly made out marriage license
You can accommodate US, can't you, -
continued he, as he looked at his pro-
spective bride, who smiled and nodded
her assent to the request.
''Well-I-yes-I might do it, but
have none of my books and records
here at the Office" replied Mr.. Webb,
- trifie staggered at the request. You
see I did not expect you"
Yes, to be sure said the stranger
but we want to get married"
I tell you what would be better, you
go down to Rev. -- residence, at No.
-, - street, and he will no doubt
be pleased to marry you, and he can
do it at once"
Thank you,' said the young couple
and bidding Mr.. Webb good afternoon,
they went out of the room and were
soon heard going down the stairs on
their way to the minister's.
After they were gone, Mr.. Webb
breathed a sigh of relief, promised tho
boys in the Office that he would make
it all right if they would keep still
about the occurrence. and soon business
was moving along again with its ac-
customed regularity.

PAY FOR "ANTLERs" FIRE
D. & R. G. Road May Have to Stand
For Loss of the Big Hotel

Colorado Springs, Feb. SIN the dis
trict court here two suits against the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad company
have been filed. The suits aggregate
more than 5000, 600, and are brought as
a result of the great fire of October 1,
1898, by which the Antlers hotel was de-
stroyed. The parties plaintiff in the
suits are the insurance companies which
had to pay the losses.
The complaint recites at length the
history of the fire, charges the defend
ant railway company with negligence
in allowing its premises il this city
to be in dangerous condition by rea-
son of the presence of combustible ma
terial, and with further negligence and
wrong in bringing to the city a car of
powder and in having the same in it's
yards here. It asserts the value of the
hotel and its contents to have been
$3.50, 1924, and asks damages in this
amount and for costs.

CATTLE RATE TROUBLE
Nebraska Board Has the Matter I'm

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. s.-The state board
OF transportation was engaged today in
nearing arguments by Representatives of
the various railroads in support of their
motion to have the order dissolved which
demands the Inauguration of carload
rates instead of 10g-pound rates for the
transportation of live stock. General
Manager Holdrege, of the Burlington.
made the statement that even though the
and add to the revenues of the road it
would be no more than just, as the ex-
pense of operating roads has greatly in
creased in the last few years. Solicitor
Henderson, of the Burlington, denounced
those who were causing the present agi-
motives.
Statements of representatives of other
roads were to the effect that the increased
expenses to the railroads and higher
wages to the employees were out of pro-
portion to the advance in rates. The
board took the applications under advise
ment, and will possibly make no ruling
for some time.

DIDN'T DISCUSS DIVIDENDS.
Santa Fe Directors FAN to Take Up
Important Matter.

New York.. Feb. S.-The directors of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
way met in this city Wednesday with
Aldace F. Walker in the chair.
1t had been expected that in view of
the increased earnings of the Atchison
system there would be some discussion
of an increase in dividends. Col Walk
er, however, said after the meeting:
only routine business was transact
ed and nothing was said about divi-
dends. Everything is now looking well
and conditions along the line continue
to improve"
The new Atchison line into San Fran
cisco will be in operation very soon and
that is counted to add materially to the
Pacific coast business of the system.
