The reader will note that this poor

with the approval Of the commander

LECTURES ON AIR BRAKES.
Santa Fe Engineers and Firemen to
Receive Instructions.

The Santa Fe railway company has
made arrangements with a correspond
ence school in Pennsylvania to run their
instruction cars over the lines of the
Santa Fe and give instruction to the
locomotive engineers and f1remen in
the handling of air brakes.
J. P. MACEDONIAN is in Topeka MAX
ing final arrangements for the inaugu-
ration of this new system of instruc-
ton. He will probably remain here a
few days.
The first car will reach Topeka in the
course of a few weeks and will make
visits at stated intervals afterwards.
The first car sent over the lines is a
stereoDticon car. Lectures are given
three times per day. Each car will seat
forty men at a lecture. The workings
of complicated brake apparatus are
made perfectly clear by a series of
views shown by the stereopticon. This
car makes several trips. Later an in
struction car makes tour of the lines.
The cars are 20 feet in length and are
built unusually strong to carry the
heavy load which is required of them.
The instruction equipment consists of
Westinghouse cylinders and triple
equipment for a 50-car train and signal
apparatus for a 12-ear train. The car
will be lighted with over 200 mean
descent globes and the various systems
of lighting trains will be shown.

CONSPIRACY CASE CALLED.
Men Accused of Depressing B. R. T
Stocks on Trial

New York, June 25.-The trial of the
defendants in the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company conspiracy case began
today before Justice Forsman. in the
criminal branch of the supreme court.
The indictments were found in Febru-
airy by special grand jury named to
inquire into the reports of a conspir-
acy to spread rumors intended to affect
the price of Brooklyn Transit stock.
Six men We're indicted. the following
four being placed on trial today:
Alfred B. GOslin, Charles Thomas
Davis, Eugene L. Packer and Henry
RoSart. There We're thirteen indict-
ments in all. These four men were in
dicted for conspiracy. The other two
indicted men are Henry J. Alexander
and Warner T. Allen, who were charged
with felony.
There was little delay in selecting
a jury. One of the indictments against
Alexander was for conspiracy and
Governor Black asked Justice Forsman
why Alexander was not on trial. The
justice said that was for the attorney
general to say. The inference was at
once taken by a number of persons that
Alexander had turned states evidence.
At the conclusion of the opening of
the attorney for the people an ad-
journment was taken till tomorrow.

DID QUIGG DO IT?
Charged With Altering Republican
Platform for a $4,000 Fee.

Washington. June 25.-Lemuel Eli Quigg
received a fee of IS, 600 for placing the
word 'isthmian in place of the word
Nicaragua" in the Republican national
platform at Philadelphia
A we'll known New York man makes
the charge that he did.
Ihere was much surprise when the word
"isthmian'' appeared in that plank of the
platform which favors construction of
cific oceans. The Republican platform
adopted at st. Louis in 1886 favored the
construction of a Nicaraguan canal, and
the same route has been favored by name
in most of the state platforms which ex-
press an opinion on this subject.
The Panama Canal company of Ameri-
ca which has its headquarters in New
York has wanted the Republican party
to declare in favor of an 'isthmian'
waterway without specifying the route.
1t is well known that this American
branch Of the French company has had
some able attorneys both in and out Of
congress during the past winter.
According to the statement of a well
known New York man, Mr.. Quigg was
employed as an agent of the same com
pany at Philadelphia. Mr.. Quigg was the
New York member of the committee on
resolutions, and if he paid his fee
it appears he earned it, because the plank
declared in favor Of IAN isthmian'' canal
and thus leaves the question of route
open one.
It is understood that when canal legis-
latfon comes up in congress next winter
fight in favor of its route. Hence the de-
sire to strike the word Nicaragua out of
the Republican platform and put the word
'.iSthmian'' in its place.
