WILL REDUCE EXPENSES
Santa Fe VIII Initiate Retrenchment
and Reform


Last year the Santa Fe expended an
immense amount of money in track and
other permanent improvements along all
divisions on the system. Many leased
and controlled lines Of roads were pur-
chased and consolidated with the system,
and the total expenditure reached an
enormous figure.
The expenditure for Improvements on
the Santa Fe road proper this year will
be comparatively small. The fact that
the bulk Of the track Improvement out
lined by the new management when it
took charge Of the road has been accom-
plished will, Of course, be partially re-
sponsTble, but aside from this and the
fact that the payment Of interest on the
adjustment bonds commences in June,
the desire of Third Vice President Barr
to make record for himself will be a
particular feature in the curtailment of
expenditures during the present year.
The heads Of the various divisions and
the officials of the mechanical depart
ment have been asked to make their est
mates for the present year as small
as possible. Considerable ballasting Will
be done, a number of small bridges will
be replaced by new structures and sew
eral miles of track viii be fenced in Ok
lahoma and the Indian Territory, but
few, if any. station buildings of any con-
siderable size, or bridges of great cost,
will be constructed.
The monthly statement Of the Santa
Fe from this time on will show a marked
falling off in operating expense com
pared with similar statements for the
past three years.

HAD HANDCUFFS ON
Supposed Escaped Convict Creates
Excitement.

A supposed escaped convict created con-
siderable excitement yesterday morning
in the country a few miles south of this
city. About 9 o'clock yesterday morning
a young man came to the farm of Joe
Brady, near the poor farm, and asked
Mr. Brady for chew of tobacco The
latter noticed that the young fellow S
hands were shackled and naturally came
to the conclusion that he was an escaped
convict. After parleying with him for a
short time Mr. Brady rode to this city
and informed the officers. They, however,
had received no information of an escap-
ed convict and nothing was done. The
roads were so very heavy that it would
have been very difficult for pursuers TO
have captured the man, who was max
ing for Oklahoma and was keeping away.
as much as possible, from houses.
Brady asked the young fellow where
he came from and the latter responded
rather indifferently up this way" point
ing to the north He did not disclose his
name, but stated that he was making for
Oklahoma. In reply to a query as to how
he happened to have handouts on, he
said that he and some boys were playing
and that the shackles had been snapped
or his hands in fun. They had lost the
key in the scuffle and he had trudged on
not waiting to have the handouts taken
off. Mr.. Brady suggested that he could
have them tatken off by coming to Wich-
ita and securing the assistance Of the po-
lice The young fellow said he had no
business in Wichita and with<ut further
words left. His entire story was very
gauzy
The young fellow had an alarm clock in
one pocket and a number of pencils in
the other While Mr.. Brady was COM
ing to this city, he noticed that the I.
o. L. school house was open and that
the young fellows tracks led from it. 1t
is supposed that he stole the clock and
the pencils at the school house, where
he probably slept Friday night. It is
thought he is some convict who was be
ing taken through here on the train and
managed to escape.
Mr. Brady did not attempt to hold the
fellow or bring him here as he says that
he got into trouble in Iowa by doing 50.
He met man on the road there with
handouts on and took him 10 town The
man proved to be all right and sued him
for damages and was awarded a con-
siderable sum

DIGGING FOR COAL
Mr., Gardner Throwing Dirt
at RayneViIle.
INDICATIONS ARE GOOD
Every Sign So Far Points to
Good Vein.

The earth is being torn up, blasted to
pieces and shoveled out just outside the
corporate limits Of Baynville, and II the
hopes of the projectors are realized
Wichita may be able to view with COM
placency the warnings of the coal dealer
next winter The report comes that a
man named Gardner, an old coal miner,
has recently located there from Penn
sylvania, and after carefully examining
the surroundings, decided to sink shaft
for coal. There have been so many wild
stories Of the discovery of coal in the
vicinity OF Wichita that the public has
about come to the conclusion that 1t viii
not believe any longer. and will have to
be shown There has been no discovery
at Baynville as yet, but the work of Mr..
Gardner certainly looks like he had faith
in the existence of a big vein of coal
there, and he is going after it. Mr..
James Mercer. syl1o was serving. some
papers at Baynville for the sheriff yes
terday, was out to look at the shaft and
was surprised to see the work that is
feet deep and has been dug through
stratas Of potter's clay, soap stone and
slate, which Mr.. Mercer says Is a fine in
dication of coal for he has mined in
Pennsylvania himself. The shaft is being
sunk on what used to be the old Card
ner farm, just south Of town Mr. Card
ner was so thoroughly convinced of the
existence of coal that he did not even
take the preliminary measures of drill
ing, but went straight to work on the
shaft. He has leased the land in the vi
cinity and is paying the expenses of
mining himself, and is making no blow
about what he expects to find. He is
working quietly Mr. Miner first discov-
cred the coal blossom on the surface in
the vicinity of the mine he is sinking and
this. with other indications known only
to the old experienced miner, convinced
him that the whole country around Bayn-
vile is underlaid with coal. He thinks if
he strikes coal he will be a rich man,
and if he doesn't it will be nobody's bust
ness
Mr. Gardner's luck would mean a great
deal for Wichita, as the question of fuel
is one of the greatest Wichita has got to
contend with in her strive for greatness.
Coal at Baynville would be practicany
coal at Wichita, for the distance is only
about thirteen miles
1t is thought by those who have seen
Mr.. Gardner's hole in the ground that it
will not be many weeks until he viii
know whether or not there is coal un-
der him Mr.. Mercer said the workmen
were already throwing out the finest
kind Of black slate stone and it Is
thought this is a very fine indication of
close proximity to the real thing.

ABOUT STORE NEWS
Something of what Modern. Enter
prising Merchants are Doing.

That Wichita merchants are progress
sive and enterprising is evidenced by the
many reduced price sales which have
been launched since the ushering in of
the new year. The continual push of the
wide-awake merchants of Wichita has
virtually done away with the heretofore
dull seasons They believe in using a
full head Of steam while going up hill,
and, when the busy rush of the early
season has passed reduce prices on all
seasonable goods The buying public has
learned to expect and watch for this in
the advertising columns of the daily
papers, which furnish to their readers
the latest store news, and which all pro-
gressive merchants tell about in their
ads. The Boston Stores Annual Rem
nant Sale the past week has been a great
success and is still in progress. The
Chicago Stores Quit-Business Sale is
proving interesting for economical buy
ers, and thus far has been very success
full. The Golden Eagles Dump Sale has
been in progress all week and tomorrow
enters upon a second week with bright
prospects. The Famous Slaughter Sale is
on in full blast and is an assured sue
cess.
Tomorrow several new sales will be
inaugurated. John Braitsch, the popular
shoe man, will commence his Semi
Annual Clearing Sale; Geo. Innes 6; Co,
their Removal Sale. and before this paper
goes to press there will possibly be other
cut-price sales, which viii be announced
in the advertising columns.
1t will pay the readers to keep posted
on store News during January and
February. The merchant who desires
your trade and has bargains to offer is
certain to inform you of them in his adj

Helped by American wealth

When money in big piles is mention
ed on the other side Of the Atlantic,
our minds leap to the Rothschilds and
the Earrings. Strange, Is it not, that
both Of these great banking families
originated in Germany?
Americans should feel particularly
close to the Barings, however, mas
much as the money that gave them
their big start was the dot of an Amer
lean girl, Anne Bingham. eldest daugh-
ter Of United States Senator Bingham
of Pennsylvania, the richest man in the
country in his day. Among his modest
possessions were 100000 acres of vir-
gin forest in Maine, for which he paid
$25O,OO0. Anne was married to Alex
ander Barring in 1913. Her sister. Ma
ria Matilda, tried three husbands, the
second being Henry Barring, a brother
of Alexander. The first was Count de
Tilly and the third the Marquis de
