Mr.. Lemon says the cattle were weighed

wheat pasture this fall has been a great
boon to the cattlemen and also the farm

HOLD WILLIAMS RESPONSIBLE
Engineer Who Caused Franconia
Wreck Still Lives.

The coroner's jury in the F'ranconia
wreck case held its meeting at King
man, Arizona, last week, and the result
of the deliberations was that Engineer
Williams. in charge of the westbound
limited, No. 3, is held responsible for the
terrible wreck. and that the company
is liable for the deaths occasioned be-
cause it ran its trains too short a time
against each other.
The instructions to Engineer Will
liamS were produced at the hearing and
they advised him that train No. would
be hour and SO minutes late between
Kingman and Needles. This order is
numbered in the Santa F'e train records
as %. Order %, sent and received later,
informed Williams that train No 3
would run two hours late between
Kingman and Needles The last order
superseded the first, and had it been
obeyed F'ranconia siding would have
been passed by train No. at 5:17 in
stead of SIP a. m. The five minutes
dierence brought together the two lirni-
ted trains ca CHI speeding in an opposite
direction. Limited No. 4 therefore had
no time to take the siding at Franconia-

an explanation of his conduct. He is

STEEL WORKMEN HERE.
They Will Put Up the New Santa Fe
Shop.

Frank Hammond's gang of steel
bridge workmen came in Saturday
night from Los Angeles, Cal. They are
twenty in number, and left last night
for Chanute, where they have a week.
job putting in some Orders Thence
burg, Ill, where their time will be occu-
pied for another week. AT the end of
that time they will return to Topeka
and begin the construction of the new
Santa Fe machine shop.
Hammond has charge of all the steel
construction work on the system, and
built the frame for the new blacksmith
building In September he took his
force west, and since then has done
work at Albuquerque. Las Vegas, The
Needles and Los Angeles. At the last
named place a bridge 600 feet long was
put across the Los Angeles river. The
workmen say they are not overly
of the year. Across the street from
where they worked in Los Angeles was
a large park where flowers were bloom
ing in prOfuSion. They say it was too
warm for a man to work wearing a
sweater.
After the gang gets fairly started on
the new structure the number will be
increased to nearly sixty in order that
the job may be rushed as much as pos
sible. About thirty-five cars of struc-
tural steel have arrived already, and it
is believed the rest will be forthcoming
as rapidly as needed. Factories have
experienced much difficulty in filing or
ders, but it is believed the greatest rush
is over and there will be little delay in
the future.
The force occupies three cars fitted up
for living purposes and are thus able
to travel from place to place and work
without any great Inconvenience.

President Ripley Talks of New Terri
torial Line

President Ripley was interviewed at
Wichita, and was asked why the COM
pany was moving the superintendent
office from Wichita to Arkansas City.
Mr.. Ripley replied:
1T is simply a matter of business
with us. We are moving from this city
to Arkansas City in order to facilitate
the working of this division. You see
Newton is the northern end of this di-
vision, and Purcell, 1. T., is the south
ern end. And here is the superintend-
ent's office, within 80 miles of one end.
We are moving him away that he may
be in closer touch with his work 1t
only necessitates the moving of a few
people, but your city will lose a valu-
able citizen in Mr.. Tice. 1t is simply
a matter of business
Mr.. Ripley said in regard to the fu-
ture plans of the company: I'VE are
going to begin work at early date

just what the terminals of the line will
be, as yet, but it will connect with the
new line of the Santa F'e that has been
completed as far as Caney. None of US
have any idea where the southern term
inals will be. but that part of the line
will connect at some point of the main
line. The line will be almost parallel
with the present line, but about so miles
away from it, and will open up a vast
country that will make a great deal OF
business for your people. 1t is a great
cattle country, but sooner or later will
be open to settlers. 1t is very fertile
country. and will be one of the richest

PAUL MoRToN's SPEECH.
Favors Equalization of Equitable
Railroad Pooling.


The Iegalizatfon of pooling whereby
the railroads may make an equitable
division among themselves of the bust
ness of the country was warmly advo-
Gated yesterday by Paul Morton, second
vice president of the Atcnison, Topeka
& Santa F'e road, in a lecture before the
students and professors of the college of
commerce and administration at the
University of Chicago. Mr.. Morton adj
vanced this method as the one most
feasible for bringing to an end the
waste and loss resulting from unre-
stricted competition, which he declared
to be under present conditions the death,
not the life, of trade. He said in part:
lone of three things in the railroad
business is sure to happen:
Il. The legalization of pooling where
by the railroads may make enforcible
contracts between themselves for a divi-
sion of the business based on reason
able rates; or,
50. The unification of ownership,
which, in the absence of the first prOpO-
sitlOn, is making rapid strides; OF,
% The taking over of the railroads
by the government, to own and operate
them is done in Germany and some
other European countries.
L have always been an advocate of
legalized pooling. because I believe it
will go long way toward insuring a
maintenance Of tariffs and thereby pre-
vent favOritism and inside rates to large
shippers and great cities. I believe that
the very foundation of the state itself is
threatened by any long continued dis
elimination against the small shipper
and the small town. We want prosper
Gus villages and towns ali over the
United States. and in time we will in
sist that the freight rates of the country
shall be as uniiuctuating as between in
dividuals and communities as the price

Bucklin New Division Point.

Bucklin will becme the new division
point of the Rock Island by January
1, possibly before, it having been moved
from Pratt to that place. A new ten
stall round-house has just been finished
at Bucklin, which will accommodate the
largest locomotives running on the
road. 1t is twenty feet longer than the
old style round-houses. The town of
Bucklin, which formerly was only a
small village, has rapidly assumed the
appearance of a good-sized prosperous
town. Within the last few weeks at
least forty new houses have gone up,
and more are under construction. Here
after the freight division will be from
Kansas City to Herington, and from
Harrington to Dalhart. Tex
