MEANS BIGGER SALARIES.
Higher Rate of Exchange in Manila
Pleasing to the Officeholders.

Manila, March 31--The United States
Philippine commission has fixed the gov
ernment rate of exchange for silver. for
the second quarter of this year. at 1927
Mexican silver for one gold dollar. The
rate of exchange Saturday at the banks
was S2.23 Mexican for one dollar gold,
but the banks refused to sell gold IN
large quantities, not having sufficient
coin to do so. The banks have notified
the quartermaster's department that 1t
is impossible for them to cash quarter
master checks.
The scarcity of American gold is at
tributed partly to the banks and large
1y to Chinese spectators, who always
buy American gold, at a quotation two
points higher than the bank rate This
action of the commission, in making the
government rate higher than the bank
rate of exchange, has created much dis
content among importers. They are un-
able TO obtain sufficient gold to pay i'm
port duties and must, consequently, pay
these duties in silver at the government
rate of $2.27-
The employees of the civil government
are elated at the new rate of exchange,
as it seems a considerable increase in
their salaries. 1t is the intention of the
commission to endeavor to retain the
gold in the archipelago. The bankers
OF Manila say that the monetary situa-
ton in the Philippines can not be help
ed by governmental action, and that
a region as important commercially as
the Philippine archipelago must affect
IA worlds markets.

Superintendent Henderson Re-
turns From California Trip.
San BernardinO and Needles
Shops Will Be Doubled.
REBUILD AT BEAUMONT
R0undhOuse Destroyed by Fire
to BE Replaced.
Many Changes at Topeka Shops
Take Effect Today.
AT BEAUMONT

George r. Henderson, superintendent
of motive power, and w. A. Nettleton,
assistant superintendent of motive pow
er, have returned from the west where
they spent little more than two weeks
making an inspection, in company with
Third Vice President Kendrick and 9TH
er officials. Judging from their reports
conditions on that part of the system
are satisfactory.
The company is preparing to make n
number of improvements from which
the mechanical department on the west
end is to benefit greatly. At East Yard,
the western terminus of the road, just
opposite Point Richmond, a new brick
machine shop will be built At San
Bernardino and at The Needles the
present capacity of the shops will be
just about doubled. Heretofore Needles
has been one of the least favorable
places for Santa Fe mechanics to work,
but with the new equipment which is to
come with the contemplated better
ments this will be largely overcome The
roundhouse at Beaumont, Texas Which
was destroyed by fire last week is to be
reconstructed at once.
All locomotives now running on the
Santa Fe west of Seligman, AriZ., are
consuming oil as fuel. and likewise two
of the three boats which handle the
aCTOSS lIlO Ddy OSlWSOh JIM
Richmond and the city of San Francis
co. The results appear to be entirely
satisfactory.
All the changes at the Topeka shops
which were predicted to take place here
q. few days ago were announced official
ly today and will be in effect tom orrow
Vice President Kendrick is still in the
west, and will not return for several
days.
The following are the changes at the
Santa Fe shops which go into effect to-
dav:
John Purcell, formerly master me-
chanic of the Chicago division at Fort
Madison, Iowa, will come here to take
the position of shop superintendent the
place having been only now created. n.
r. Davis, for the last four months fore
man of the machine shop, succeeds Gen
eral Shop Foreman William S. Lawless,
resigned, and George w. Miller, recent-
ly from PittSburg, Pa, assumes the
foremanship of the machinists, made
vacant by the promotion of Mr.. Davis.
Milton Player, master mechanic Of the
eastern division who resigned two
weeks ago, his withdrawal taking ERECT
today, is partially succeeded in his du-
ties by Shop superintendent Purcell
Mr.. Purcell will have supervision of the
entire plant here with the exception OF
the roundhouse, which will be in a sep
arate Jurisdiction. Neither Mr.. Lawless
nor Mr. Player have announced any
definite plans for the future. The ap-
pointm ent of H. T. Herr as successor to
Superintendent Purcell at Fort Madi-
son was announced ten days ago, and
took effect then.

FROM WELLINGTON.

John Summers, who was accidentally
struck in the mouth with a spike maui
while in Wellington yard recently, has
returned to work.
Brakeman NJ P. Smith stepped off the
end of a car Friday and severely
sprained his ankle, and it is thought he
will have to be sent to Topeka hospital.
The gasoline pumping plant at Rago,
at the crossing of the H. & S. and
Englewood branches, has refused to
work and a steam plant is being erect
ed there to furnish water for engines.
The foundation for the ice plant,
which is to be erected on the spur west
of the passenger station, has been COM
pleted and work on the building proper
has been commenced.
The Santa Fe hotel at Woodward
caught on fire about 1:30 p. m. Friday
and was completely destroyed. 1t is
thought engines switching in the yard
set the fire as it started from the roof.
Most of the furniture was saved and
no other damage resulted.
Superintendent Whisenand and Cen
eral Foreman Clough returned from
Tonkawa Friday afternoon in special
car 325 and went to Woodward Friday
night on No. POI, with Resident Engi-
neers NJ. n. Wells from Chanute and w.
