Santa Fe Sending No Passes to
Trunk Line officials.
Will Be No Exchange of Annals
This Year.
ANTI = PASS COMBINE.
Trunk Lines Say They Get the
Worst of 1t.
All Western Officials Will Get
Free Transportation.
ANTI PASS COMBINE.

The Santa Fe is sending no annual
passes this year to the officials of the
trunk lines This information comes
direct from the general managers Of
flee, where all the exchange ANIMALS and
trip passes for other railways are writ
ten W.
The trunk lines include the roads
operating east of Buffalo, Pittsburg
and Parkersburg. Officials of these
lines and their agents are all barred
from receiving free transportation in
the west. Representatives of any of the
fast freight lines of which the trunk
lines are members are also under the
ban.
Not only is the anti-pass rule to be en-
forced in regard to ANIMALS, but no trip
passes viii be given to any of the Off
Gals or agents OF the eastern lines.
This action is retaliatory upon the
trunk lines for their recent action on
the anti-pass agreement. for it must be
understood that the Santa Fe is willing
TO send out passes to these lines pro-
vided they reciprocate and extend their
cOurtesies to the western roads. The
trunk lines, however. by reaffirming
their old position in regard to exchange
OF passes did so with the full under.
standing that the mutual exchange of
transportation courtesies would be at
an end.
As far as the roads in the Central Pas
senger association. Southern Passenger
association, and Western Passenger IS
Sociation are concerned. the passes will
be sent out usual, and the work of
preparing and sending out these valuable
bits Of pastehoard has been in rapid
progress for the past two or three weeks.
There has been a determined effort this
year 10 break up the anti-pass agreement
Of the trunk lines. Some of the officials
Of the trunk lines have expressed them
selves strongly against the agreement.
and the Lackawanna officials claimed
that the agreement has so prejudiced the
western roads against that line that it
has lost millions of dollars in freight
shipments which might have come over
its rails.
on the other hand the eastern roads
say that by the sO-callcd exchange" of
passes with western roads. the western
ers get all the hest of it. as they de-
mand more passes. and have more
private cars OF the officials to haul than
the eastern roads ask in return.
In an interview one of the western rail-
way representatives. said: 1T is unfair
10 say that trunk lines have been credit
ing travelling men to Central Passenger
association lines with a view to getting
transportation for them Take the Van
derhIlt lines. for example. every man
that represents the New York Central is
also representative of the Michigan
Central and Lake Shore. You must re
member. also. that the Central Passenger
association lines carry twenty-five private
cars TO every one they request western
lines 20 carry. and issue twenty-five pass
IS for every one requested of western
lines. This agitation on the part of west
ern lines is childish and unfair to the
trunS lines"

THREE WHITE HORSES.
They Will Be Used to Draw Aerial
Ladder Truck.

Chief Wilmarth is trying to make up
hitch of three gray horses for the
new aerial ladder truck. He purchased
a second gray horse for the triple hitch
Saturday, and it is said that the de-
partment has its eye on another gray
which will be brought to town and
tested within a few days.
yes. I want another gray" said Chief
Wilmarth today. Il am well satisfied
with the two grays we have now. and it
would look well to have third one
like these. But I am not going to sacri-
flee quality to looks nor am 1 going to
pay a fancy price for another gray. If
I can get what we need at the right
figure, will be glad to buy"
The new gray horse was furnished by
Wall, the same horse buyer who secur-
ed the other gray for the department.
The price OF the first gray was $3.50, and
the recent acquisition was about the
same figure. The new animal is a mare,
the first one to be obtained by the de-
partment. She stands 16 hands, one and
a half inches, and now weighs LABS
pounds. When worked down into con-
dition she will weigh about 1900 She
is beautiful dappled gray. and has the
same general style and build of the
gray horse purchased a few weeks ago.

Tests Made in Michigan Show Better
Service Given.

Niles, Mich, Dec 30.-Mail delivery by
automobiles is what the rural route resi-
dents of Lenawee county have been en-
joying for the past month. The tests have
been made in all kinds of weather and
have been successful. Accordingly Post
master Priddy of Adrian has reported IA
vorably to Washington concerning the
test
BY means of automobiles the carrier can
leave the office much later than with his
agon and thus enabled to deliver much
mail received on the later morning trains
that would otherwise not be carried until
the next day. In addition the routes are
covered in half the time required by the
wagon.
These are two strong points in favor of
the auto. yet there is still another which
Mr.. Priddy considers more important than
either, and that is the Improvement of the
roads which would follow the installation
of automobile system. With the excuse
as lever that the rural route will have TO
the road because OF its poor condition A
community would go to a great deal of
expense rather than have the threat car
ried out.
When the test started Mr. Priddy sent
out circulars to various portions along the
routes telling them to expect the auto at
such. q time and asking them IL they

over their route and of the time the mail

office show that the auto has scarcely
varied ten minutes during the test. Many
of those who have kept such reports have

pressed themselves as highly pleased with
to fix up the roads in case the system was

In addition to the money that Lory had
put up for the gang he had bets of his
own amounting to several thousands. and
the race was started, Ryan forging to
the front. The millionaires swore round
Iy, but TiSlow and Massey winked know
ingly at Lory and the sure thing was
about to happen. But suddenly Ryan,
stakeholder handed over the satchel to
the members of the Miliionaires' club.
Lory was completely dazed by the dis
aster. but he had suspicion that he
had been duped till he went to Denver.
Incidently he inquired about certain
millionaires and was surprised to find
that none of the men who had backed
city. A little further investigation proved
that Deans real name is J. H. Ashmore
and that he is a Skin gambler"
Lory at once employed detectives to
run the men down and he was soon in
possession of the true names. In his affi-
davit, on which the requisition for the ar
rest of Ashmore and Ryan is based. he
gives the names of the gang as Robert
Boatrfght. alias Scott; George Burns, VIII

wards. George Ryan, H. M. Tislow and J.
H Ashmorc, alias William Dean. He
swears that he lost S63. 500 on the race
besides the $4,000 which he gave for a
check which proved worthless.
AS the scheme was first preached to
Lory and the prelminaries arranged at
his home in Petersburg. he is seeking to
have the gamblers brought to this state
for trial He has spent $1,000 in running
the gang down and declares that he will
spend $4,000 more to get all of them be-
hind the bars.

May Be Some Truth in Story of Santa
Fe Extension.

The recently published report that the
Santa Fe proposed to build branch Inc
from Lometa. Tex, up to San Saba River
Valley to Fort Mckevett, a distance Of
about 100 miles from Lomata, Tex, has
been semi-officially confirmed. 1t is re-
ported that it is the intention to ultimate
ly extend this proposed line to Pecos. Tex.
to a connection with the Pecos Valley
line.
This would form link in new
through and direct route between the
western part of the Santa Fe and Calves
ton. The Santa Fe already has a branch
running west from Temple, Tex, to San
Angelo, and a few months ago it was re-
ported that a survey was being made for
extending this line west to Pecos. but it is
now said that it was found that a consid-
cradle amount of heavy construction work
would be encountered and that ii was de-
ternined to build a new line starting from
Lometa, which is on the San Angelo
branch.
