NEW ROUTE no TEXAS.
Indications Are That Santa Fe Will
Use BartIesyille Line.

Independence, Kan, July lin con-
versation here Col. Samuel Porter, OF
Caney, Kan, the originator and promo
ter of the Kansas, Oklahoma Central &
Southwestern road. said that the road
will be completed to Guthrie before fail.
He says that the roadbed is good and
that the rails that are being put down
are the very best, which indicate that
it will be made the main line for the
Texas trains from Kansas City and the
east. This road was recently sold at
public auction by P1iny L. Soper as
special master at Vinita, /. t., and was
bid in by Lyman F. Parker, Jr., who
represented the Atchison Topeka &
Santa F'e railroad. This was to satisfy
a mortgage of $585. 43S which was held
by the Santa Fe. It was agreed some
time ago that the Santa F'e should as
sumo control of the road, says Col. Por-
ter, and purchase it at the sale.
The road will no doubt be completed
as far as Guthrie this year, and next
year it will probably be extended on
south from Bartlesville through Texas.
Building is going on now from both
ends of the line. Rails have been put
down for a distance of II miles east of
Guthrie, through Saltwater to Pawnee.
From Independence south the road has
been built through Bartlesville to OwoS-
so, /. T., about so miles south of here.

RAILROAD NEWS.
What New Schedule Means to
Santa Fe Operators.
Increase Will Amount to Nearly
$4,000 Year.
CHANGES IN RULES.
General Office Positions Now
Open to All Operators.
Grievance Committee Will Be
Furnished Seniority List.

The new schedule governing operators
on the Santa Fe proper will be publish
ed at once. Mr.. A. B. Harding, of VIII
liamsburg, Kan, chairman of the gen
eral grievance committee, was in To-
peka yesterday checking up the sche-
dule with the Santa Fe people, and all
negotiations between the operators and
the company have been formally closed
Mr.. Harding stated that the individ-
ual increase granted by the Santa Fe
officials would aggregate, between $S'ooo
and $4,000 annually.
One of the most important changes
made in the rules for the government OF
the telegrapherS is the provision allow
ing the promotion of operators from any
division to positions in the general Of
flee in this city, the office at Kansas
City and the general Office in Chicago.
Heretofore seniority has prevailed
among the operators by divisions, and
operators on any but the eastern divis
ion have not been eligible to positions
in general office in this city. Likewise,
only operators employed on the Chicago
division have been promoted to posi-
tiOnS in the Chicago office. Under the
new rule promotions will be made in ac-
cordance with seniority as it exists on
the entire road, regardless of divisions.
The new schedule also provides that
a seniority list shall be made up and
placed in the hands of the grievance
committee. Promotions will be checked
as they are made from time to time, ana
in this way the committee will have the
same information of the movements of
operators as the company.
An Independent concession secured
from the company is represented by
provision allowing night operators an
hour for meals the same as day opera
tors. There has been no rule covering
this point, and in this particular opera
tors have been subject to the varying
wishes of chief dispatchers.
Mr.. Harding says the grievance COM
mittee mem bers are we'll satisfied with
the new schedule as agreed upon, and
that no further changes will probably be
asked for some time.

FLOOD THE BUILDING.
Attempt Made to Damage Big Office
Structure.

T. D. Humphreys says an attempt to
flood the Columbian building was made
Friday afternoon about five o'clock.
The engineer in the building found
water leaking from one of the radiators
on the first floor and soon water was
found to be coming from radiators on
the upper floors. An investigation show
ed that the water feed pipe from the
city mains to the boiler had been part
ly opened. The water was slowly fill
ing up the boiler. The valve to the pipe
which carries steam to the radiators
had been opened and in short time the
pressure from the water main would
have filed the boiler and probably dur
ing the night when the building was
vacant the pressure would have burst
the radiators and the water would have
flooded the building.

STRONG EVIDENCE
Showing tn at GOebel Was Shot
From Powers Office
Window.

Georgetown, KY, July 1.-THE attend
ance at the trial of ex-Secretary of
State Powers, charged with being an
accomplice to the murder of William
Goebel was smaller today than any time
since Monday when the case was first
called
The evidence while bearing directly
upon the case, had small attraction for
the general public. A trunk containing
the garments worn by the victim on
the morning of the killing was brought
into court to be exhibited and filed.
Mead Woodson, county surveyor of
Franklin county, the civil engineer VINO
made the measurements, was on the
stand for over two hours. He had with
him profile drawings, diagrams and
block of wood taken from tree in the
state house yard, which was supposed
to contain the fatal bullet. The defense
undertook to show that the surveyor
had not been sufficiently accurate in
his measurements from the supposed
point of entrance of the bullet into the
tree to prove that the shot was nred
from the window of the secretary OF
states Office.
At the request of the prosecution Mr..
Woodson, after leaving the stand re-
moved the bullet from the block of
wood, and marking it for Identification,
passed the bit of lead about the bar. All
examined it with interest.
Warden Eph Lillard of Frankfort
prison. who was a close friend of the
deceased, testified that he accompanied
Mr. oGebel and Jack Chinn to the state
house on the morning of the shooting
and left them Just before the fatal shot
was fired. AS he approached the state
house that morning with Goebel and
Chinn he noticed that the capital
grounds were clear, whereas formerly
mountain men" were numerous. He
left his two companions and had reach
ed the door to the main capitol build
ing when he heard shots and looking
back saw GoebeI fall. He declared that
one of the front windows in the Office of
the secretary of state was partly raised
at the time. At the conclusion of his
testimony a recess was taken until 2
d. m.
