BUELL. GIVES HIS SIDE.
He Denies the Story About Salaries
Given Out by Nichols.

Kansas City. Mo-, April 21.-A. L.
Buell., financial hacker of the Kansas
City American association team, gave
out a signed statement today in answer
to the Charley Nichols interview, in
which Nichols alleged that the players
jumped because Buell. refused to guaran-
tee salaries for the entire season.
THE statement made by Nichols rela-
tive to Clyde Robinson asking me if I
would guarantee his salary for the sea
son of 1902 regardless of what became
of the American association" says Buell.,
lis absolutely contrary to the facts. The
American association is not pushed to
such extremities that it has to give any
such guarantee to its players. The play
ers know that the men who are back of
the respective clubs are financially re-
sponsible and will keep faith with every
player who proves true to them.
1.-The question of the payment of sal
aries only came up when I asked of
those who called upon me what assur-
ance they had that the men who were
attempting to get them to jump their
contracts with US would be able to pay
them the salaries offered. They told me
that the Manning Nichols combination
would deposit their entire seasons sal
airy in the bank, and thereby absolutely
secure them against loss 1 explained
the lack of security to them in the pro-
position submitted and they left me with
the assurance that they would play ball

amount placed to their order in a bank

they played their first game

DOUBLE TRACK SYSTEM.
Union Pacific Planning a Big I'm

Union racine Planning Big I'M
provement on It's Lines.
It is said that the Hartman syndicate,
which is closely allied with the Van
derbilts. will now turn its attention to
a double tracking of the Union Pacific,
and later to similar work on the South
ern Pacific. The Union Pacific is credi-
ted with having one of the finest road
beds in the country. The high standard
has been secured in the last two years
by the use of disintegrated granite,
which makes a pliable roadbed and at
the same time a dustless one. This is
said to be the only material ever used
for the purpose that is almost absolute
iy dustless.
The imn ense expenditures Of the Van
derbilts and the Hartman syndicate in
dictate that nothing is to be left undOne
that will place the allied systems al
most beyond competition SO far as road
bed and time are concerned. All of this
work is done in competition with the
Santa Fe, Rock Island, Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads.
