Demand for Young Men of Am

Railroad Business.

Preparing Officials for the Rail

Santa Fe Has College Graduates
Rubbing Down Engines.

Chicago. May 25.-Requests are COM
ing to Chicago from the great railroad
eenters in the east for young men to
take positions at stem graphers in the
offices of the roads. Young men are
wanted who have both the ambition
and the capacity to fill the important
places in the management Of the roads
IN the next ten or fifteen years. There
is a dearth of this character Of help in
the east Here in Chicago. too. one
official said yesterday, this class of
young men can usually ind places in
the offices.
There is decided preference for men
as stenographers in most railroad off
ces because Of the policy being pursued
which makes this proposition the ave
nae for promotion to responsible places.
The mere stenographic work required
Is not more important than that of 9TH
er great modern business concerns. The
benefit Of the position in railrOading
comes from the familiarity with the de-
tails of the intricate business of the
transportation lines which is required.
Once having mastered these and haV-
ing demonstrated his qualities the
young man who deserves it is generally
pushed forward.
The tendency toward the selection of
applicants who have had a thorough
education has been noted on the west
ern lines even when the start is made
a the lowest round of the ladder. The
Santa Fe has several college graduates
rubbing down engines in its round
houses. The same tendency is being
exhibited in the selection of stenograph-
eFs. The reason of this preference in
both cases is that the railroad manage
ment is preparing for the managers Of
the future, and most of these higher
officials will come from the ranks Of
The snbnrdinates Of TODAY.

Enid. Ok, May 25.-Hundreds Of per
sons were rendered homeless and prop
crty damaged estimated at $500. 600 was
done in the Enid bottoms by a cloud
burst that struck west of this city at
midnight Saturday night. The aggre-
gate damage will doubtless be raised
much higher by losses sustained be-
tween Enid and the seat of the storm.
At u o'clock a bank of water three feet
high and two hundred feet wide swept
down through the bottoms, carrying
houses and everything before it. It
came upon Enid without warning while
most of its citizens were asleep. Within
few minutes a hundred houses were
partly completely submerged. Rescuers
went to work Immediately and all
night labored industriously saving per
sons from perilous positions and aid
ing those driven from their homes. Sun
day it was found that several hundred
were homeless. Many pitiable scenes
were witnessed as the people stood

W. ,
Indianapolis, Ind, May 25.-The revis-

lodge, occupied the time of the meeting
Of the Switchmen's Union of North

was decided TO reduce the number of
vice grand masters from FIVE to three
and to divide the country into three

One of the most warmly applauded
resolutions adopted condemned sympa-

siOns that the organization believes in
