New System Time Gard For
Santa Fe June /.
Meeting of superintendent Will
Be Held Here in May.
THE LIMITED"
Many Minor Changes VIII BE
Made Necessary.
Twelve Supplements Have Al
ready Been Issued on Old Card.

Announcement is made that on June
an entirely new system time card for
the Santa Fe win go into effect
Meetings of the division superintend-
ents of all the divisions of the Santa Fe
proper win be held in Topeka from day
to day, beginning May u, for the pur-
pose of stringing the new card. At the
same time the division superintendent
of the coast lines viii be meeting at
Los Angeles. Cal, for the purpose of
making a new time card for the lines
west OF. Albuquerque
The most important change to be
made in the June card is the placing of
the California Limited on semi
weekly schedule, instead Of daily, as at
present This change viii Of course
affect the whole Santa Fe system.
Other changes viii be made necessary
by this radical one. The announcement
that the California Limited VIII take
up the semi-weehly schedule after June
/ has already been made in the State
Journal. The change is due to the fact
that the tourist travel to California IS
lighter in the summer than IN the Win
ter
All the changes embodied in the time
card supplements viii be consolidated
in the new card, and it VIII be of great
advantage to all railroad men to have
a revision made with all the supple
mental changes in convenient form for
reference.
Up to the present time there have
been L supplements issued for the time
card of November 3. They are lettered
from A to L, inclusive, and the va
rious divisions affected were as fol-
lows
Supplement A, Colorado division, No

1t is not unlikely that more supple
ments viii be issued before the new
time card is ready for publication. The
new card viii go into effect on Sunday,
June /, at 1905 o'clock a m. Other
changes will probably be made besides
fixing up the new connections for the
Limited, but as far as known now,
these changes will be of minor nature.

Santa Fe and Rock Island Officials
Testify About Freight Rates.

Chicago, April AT the session of the
Interstate commerce commission, held
in Chicago the traffic managers and
general freight agents of the Rock ISL
and, Santa Fe, Milwaukee & st. Paul.
Chicago & Alton, Burlington, Missouri
Pacific Wabash and Chicago Great
Western railroads were examined as re-
CARDS their knowledge OF cutting rates
on export traffic from the Missouri river
to the Atlantic seaboard.
Assistant Traffic Manager Cover tes-
titled that the Rock Islands reduction
in rate was made because it could not
get any business at Kansas City at the
1872 cent rate.
The testimony of the officials of the
other roads was that they faithfully
maintained the 1872 cent rate and refus-
ed to take any notice whatever of the
Rock Islands action. Each road sub
mitted to the commission statement
showing export and domestic shipments
and what rates made on them from
February IS to March Is, 1902

Iron con pany interests another and the
Rock Island is the third. Just who
owns the system viii probably be made
public in few days, but at present 10
cal railroad men are at sea in regard
to its ownership.
The Rock Island owns no terminal IA
cilities at Colorado common points, and
acquisition Of the Colorado road would
give it entrance to Denver. Colorado
Springs and Pueblo over its own tracks,
together with the best terminals in
each of the three cities that could pos
sibly be obtained.
If, as generally believed, the Rock ISL
and company is to be the connecting
Ink with the projecting Denver &
Northwestern for the east, there is rea-
SON to believe that the purchase may
mean right of way into the Denver I'm
ION depot for Short Line trains. and
may make the Boulder line of the Col
orado & Southern the main line of the
new Salt Lake route out of Denver. By
way OF the prairie line of the Colorado
& Southern, Rock Island trains could
enter over their own track from Falcon.
though the distance would be slightly
increased over that now used from liz
mon. This, however. could be reduced
by a connection from CaIhan by which
the road would keep on the north side
of the prairie divide and avoid heavy
grades
a dispatch from Chicago says:
Two projects are now credited to the
Rock Island managen ent which will
change materially the railway map of
the west and southwest and bring in
new and possibly disturbing conditions.
One is the building of a line from FIT
Worth to Galveston and the other is
the purchase of the Colorado & South
ern with a view of extending the Clear
Greek branch of the line across the
range through Middle Park and Routt
counties, Colorado. thereby blishing
an air line from Denver to Salt Lake
City.
Officials of the company today admit
ted that surveys for such a Galveston
new line viii pass through Dallas and
thence will be an air line to Galveston.

Additional Facts About Purchase of
Colorado 8 Southern.

Denver. April "A personal dispatch
was received here from Chicago today
announcing that President Edwin A.
Hawley of the Minneapolis & St Louis
and the Iowa Central. who recently
purchased the Colorado & Southern, had
made the deal for the Rock Island.
This is directly in contradiction to the
theories of the railroad men Of this city
ana to the report that the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company was interested IN the
purchase.
railroad men who are in a position to
know, say that if the Colorado & South
ern had gone to the Rock Island Mitch
ell Gates and others who are known to
have held much Of its stock and Union
Pacific rnen who were heavy stockhold-
ers. must have turned over their hold
ings. They say they cannot believe this.
They argue too, that Gould and Harrt-
man are interested in the purchase of
the Southern and therefore the Rock
Island would scarcely be allowed to
gobble up the line. Besides, Edwin A.
Hawley, the purchaser, is a close friend
Of Hartman and he would hardly sacri-
fee the latter's interests.
Yet HaWley'S eastern roads are feed
ers Of the Rock Island and this makes
the situation more complicated. Now,
according to reports, there are three
owners of the Colorado & Southern.
Hawley is one. the Colorado Fuel and

Some of the Things Which Happened

is a story from the FL Paso Herald:
This is the first day Of April, you
know, and General Freight and Passen-
ger Agent Stiles of the FL Paso &
Southwestern has been having some fun
at the expense Of others.
This morning he took a quarter and
soldered it on to a long spike nail. Go
ing out in front of his Office in the Shell
don hotel the nail was driven in the
walk and from all appearances the
quarter is merely lying on the walk
The first person to tackle the quarter
was a man who didn't seem disposed to
give it up but after he had tugged away
a while he backed off a step or two
shook his first at tn ecoin and said, Col
darn We I didn't want you anyhow >
of the professional beggars around town.
though she had found a quarter but
after several minutes trying to pull it
up she quit. Not satisfied, she came
back with q rock and hammered away
a while, but to no avail. The coin is
still there and suckers are still biting,
