1t is now announced from Mississip-
nj that the true inwardness of the
whitecap movement is opposition on
part of a certain element of whites
to the Negroes owning or controlling
lands This includes those who are
renting and those who are purchasing.
They also object to a black mans

kENDRlCk Is HERE.
Meets Trainmen Who Want Wages In
creased.

Third Vice President j. w. Kendrick
of tho Santa Fe arrived In Topeka from
Chicago this morning and this after
noon met a select committee from the
conductors and trainmen to hold pre-
liminary conference concerning the de-
mand for 90 per cent increase in
wages, says the Topeka State Journal.
In addition to Mr.. Kendrick the fol-
lowing Santa Fe officials are here;
Generrl Manager Wells OF the Santa
Fe coast lines, General Manager Nixon
Of the Santa Fe Gulf lines, General Su.
perintendent Cain OF La Junta. These,
with General Manager Nudge and Gen
eral Superintendent Hurley, comprise
the whole STAFF of head officials OF the
entire Santa Fe system.
There are here fifty-two members OF
the grievance committee representing
the Order of Railway Conductors and
Brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen.
These fifty-two men come from all
parts of the Santa Fe system, and to
them is delegated the authority TO
treat with the officials and arrange a
basis of settlement. They will all be
present at the conferences which are
to be held beginning Tuesday.
Both the members of the committee
and the Santa Fe officials have little
to say about the negotiations at this
time. They are unwilling to estimate
how long the conference will continue.
Some seem TO Think that II VIII come
to rather an abrupt termination by the
acceptance mutually Of the Is per cent
Increase which has been the basis of
compromise among st. Louis roads.

YOAkuM CONTROLS IT.
Fate OF The Frisco Is Wholly In His
Hards,

The Wall street minstrel" as the
Friscohas been dubbed. continues to
perplex those who have attempted to
dispose of the property by merger,
lease or sale-on paper says a New
York dispatch.
II Is agreed by those most interested
In the fate OF FRISCO that there Is
some deal pending. but what the ex.
tent OF this is. time alone can tell. The
continued presence IN this city of Pres
ident Benjamin F. Yoakum and James
Campbell. and the frequent visits to
the Office of j. Pierpont Morgan, give
color to the reports that when the an.
nouncement is finally made it will be
found that Frisco will he allied In
some way with the Morgan properties.
Mr. Campbell intended to return TO st.
Louis tins week
When the direct question was put to
Mr. Campbell whether there was any
likelihood of Frisco being sold, he re.
piled:
None whatever; neither is there
any danger of II being merged with
any other property. OF course every
stakeholder has figure at which he
might part with his holdings. This
does not refer entirely to Frisco.
There is not a railroad In the country
that can't be bought II the proper price
were bid for control"
This statement By Mr. Campbell is
highly significant in view OF the recent
activity in Frisco, when, during sin.
gle week. nearly 1000 shares OF com
mno stock alone changed hands. In
all there are only 4T4,000 shares OF
stock OF all issues outstanding. or
this President Yoakum holds control OF
more than 255 900 or absolute control,
in coting trust of which he Is sole
trustee. From this II can readily be
seen that Mr.. Yoakum carries control
of theh property in the palm OF his
hand, and has plenary power to sell.
merge or lease the property at his dis
erection. He is on close terms with
j. p. Morgan. and II is this fact which
leads to the belief that Frisco and the
Morgan group OF roads are to form a
close alliance.

WHERE ENGLAND BEATS US.
Hsuis Eighteen Times as Many Per
Mile Of Road.

A dispatch from London says: Pre-
siding ut meeting of the shareholders
of the London 4 Southwestern rail-
road n. w. Campbell remarked that IL
the company did not adopt American
methods 1t was simply because what
was termed economy in our country
would rank as extravaganza in the
other. T'e officials had experimental
with large freight cars and they were
found quite unsuited for tLelr require
ments.
Regarding the passenger traffic, MIR.
Campbell said that while the length OF
theh railroads In the United States was
nine times greater than those of Great
Britain. the latter carried twice as
many passengers, or about eighteen
times as many per mile OF railroad.
The returns of accidents. Mr.. Campbell
further remarked, were considered un-
usually instructive. Not a single pas.
senger was killed In Great Britain dur
ing 1901. while 249 were killed in the
Uniteu States that year, and 2i6 pas
sengers were injured in Great Britain
in 1901, against i.192 in that year in
the United States.
