FORTY men
DISAPPEAR.
They Lived in Shanties Built on
the Ice.
A Storm Came Up and Swept
Them from Sight.
PROBABLY DROWNED

Fate Of but Two Is Known to a
Certainty.
PROBABLY DROWNED

Chicago. Feb. st is feared that 40
fishermen went to their death in the
storm, which struck Saginaw Bay Tues
day night. says a dispatch to the Tri-
bune from Bay City. Mich The men
were living in shandes built on the ice.
The storm burst without warning. 1t
was accompanied by a binding swirl Of
snow and the waves crushed the ice in
the bay upon which the hshermen's
huts We're standing, into a grinding,
crunching mass. Nothing has been seen
of men or shanties since. 1t is known
that two were drowned and little hope is
expressed for the others.
James L. Fisk, a fish buyer who spent
the night in his station, came to the city
last night and said that prior to the
storm he could see plainly a dozen
shanties and men moving about them,
but in the morning there was no sign
of human life on the bay. Two men
who were in a shantv not far from his
place were lost during the night, cakes
of ice having smashed their shanties TO
pieces. He says the other fishermen
could hardly have escaped as they We're
still farther out and near the scene of
the first breaking up of the ice.

RAILROADS FIGHT HARD.
Employees Battle Equally Strong on
Other Side for Airbrakes.

Washington, Feb. 5-Between the
brotherhoods of railway employees and
some of the railroads Of the country a
great struggle is going on in the lobbies
Of the house of representatives over the
pending bill re-enacting the law regard
ing the use of airbrakes and automatic
couplers on freight trains.
The law was practically nullif1ed by
the decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals. and the railroad en-
ployes, who number several hundred
thousand, have brought forward another
proposition, which viii put the use OF
automatic couplers into effect so that It
cannot be questioned.
This bill has been passed by the sem
ate, and is now on the calender of the
house, having been reported favorabls'
by Mr.. Wagner of Pennsylvania from
the committee on interstate and foreign
commerce.
The railroad owners contend that it
will entail a hardship and extraordi-
nary expense on them. The employees
say that unless there is some further
legislation the whole scheme for protect
ing the lives of trainmen, which has
been in force since 1893 and has reduced

If Newman gets them it is figured
that the boats VIII be run between

from Buffalo up the lakes.
The Buffalo report is that a represen-

travelling salesman for the Cryst Al

City had an experience here he will not
care to repeat. Uhlman reached town
Wednesday morning and Immediately
began to take orders for LIQUID refresh

ness was lively with Uhlman for awhile.
Then the women Of the town heard wha-
was going on. A good sized crowd Of
women organized, armed themselves
with whips and clubs and went after
UhIman. No man ever ran SO hard as
ne did on the way to the depot where
ne was taken in charge by the town

whip him. The marshal protected him
in a hotel until train time and then told
him to get out and not come back The

TRY TO KEEP THEM.
Topeka Doesn't Want to Lose
Santa Fe Division.

The announcement that the Santa Fe
division offices will be moved to En-
poria and thereby deprive Topeka of
the Importance OF a division point and
also of the people who are employed
in the office of Division Superintend-
ent Mcclellan, has aroused the Com
mercial club to action. 1t was given
means in their power to induce the
Santa Fe officials to allow Topeka to
retain the division offices.
John z. Frost, president of the club,
called a meeting of the directors this
morning at IL o'clock and the matter
was discussed from every standpoint.
It was finally decided to appoint a
committee of three to call on Mr.
Nudge, Mr. Hurley and several other
Santa Fe officials and discuss the mat
ter with them and see if they would
try to use their influence in trying TO
arrange some system by which the Of
fees would be allowed to remain in
Topeka
Major T. J. Anderson said this morn
ing that the ma ajority of the people of
Topeka do not realize what the employ
ment Of twenty-five more men means to
the city.
1T simply means.'' said Major Ahder-
son, that Topeka has TWENTY-FIVE
more citizens. which number does its
part in increasing the population, that
that many more homes will be built in
topeka, tnaJ the money paid the men
viii be put into circulation in Topeka
and that the town would receive innu-
merable small benefits from it that go
TO make up the welfare of a city OF
course in this case the change would
only involve about TWENTY-FIVE men.
but we viii put up just as strong a fight
for the division offices as we would for
larger concern.
After a good deal of exertion on our
part we have just succeeded in securing
the Elizabeth Bridge company for To-
peiza- This company viii employ only
about thirty men but it means that just
that many more Topeka men will find
employment 1t is just the same in the
case of the Santa F'e division offices. We
will do everything in our power to bring
about the retention of the Offices
The Santa Fe division offices employ
about twenty-five men. sixteen of whom
have families Several of them own
homes in Topeka and it would be very
inconvenient for them to have to sell
their homes and move to Emporia The
pay roll of the offices amounts to about
$2,700 monthly.
The committee which is to call on
General Manager Nudge is composed Of
the following gentlemen; J. S Sproat
E H Crosby and J. s. Warner.
One prominent railroad man connected
with the operating department declares
the division can be operated to much
better advantage from Topeka than
from Emporia, because of the better
wire and other facilities here. He be-
lives the removal is based on some SEN
timent rather than business and that
the office should be retained here both
for business and sentiment.

LINTON HAS A SCHEME.
Wants to Simplify the Complex Bal

Representative Linton is working hard
to secure the passage Of his amendment
to the ballot law. It provides for doing
away with the square after the words
No nomination" the same as Beving-
toms bill, but it goes further and pro-
vides for the use of a rubber stamp iTs
making the cross on the ballots It pro
vides that there shall be little rubber
stamp ''X'' in each booth in the place of
the usual lead pencil.
"A large number Of ballots were
thrown out in my county simply be-
ca use the cross was not made right, 81
said Mr. Linton today. IF an old man
who could not see we'll let the lines of
his cross run over outside Of the SQUARE
it was not counted. or if it wasn't
good cross it was also thrown out, Some
business men marked their ballots with
a fountain pen or an indehbIe pencil
and those were thrown out NV bill
provides for using a rubber stamp
which would obviate all these nnistakes.'.
